The northern side of the city wall.The various units are preparing according to the rehearsal plan.Thanks to the experience of resisting the first wave of the offensive, the militia on the city walls were no longer as nervous as they were last time, and they were full of confidence.In the distance, a large group of undead monsters frantically swarmed in.As in the previous sequence, use the trebuchet to throw stones first, and then start firing when the enemy approaches.A large number of undead soldiers are stacked into human towers below the walls, and militia and lizardfolk units are responsible for suppressing and supporting kills above, while shooting teams and knight units are the main killing forces.From time to time, stones were carried over, and the scale of the attack towards the second wave was not much larger than that of the first wave, but the proportion of corpses and monsters increased.This kind of undead monster is agile and can easily jump onto the city wall with the help of the corpses of the same kind piled up underground, which is an extremely troublesome existence.It's just that there are a few less members of the shooting team, and the impact is not very big.With the full cooperation of all the troops, this wave of attacks by the undead monsters could not pose much threat to the city walls.There were no major casualties, and the few injured were rushed to medical hospitals.I don't know if it was because of the sound of the horn, but the search team hurried to the northern wall and joined the battle.Everything is going well, and there is no problem in blocking the second wave of offensive.The battle lasted until dusk, when it came to an end.Just as he was about to descend the city wall to clear the remnants of the undead, one of the scouts shouted, "Something looks like it's coming!"
”Owen looked up into the distance, and there seemed to be a black line crawling through the snow, quickly approaching the city wall.It was hidden in the snow, so it was difficult to judge the type of undead monster.Owen turned to Viscount Jarvis and asked, "What's that?"
It's not like the very large carrion boar I encountered before. ”Stopping his hand that was reloading, Viscount Jarvis fixed his eyes on the undead monster in the distance, and couldn't help frowning and shaking his head."
I don't know, but I have a bad feeling."
Even Viscount Jarvis, who had commanded the battle on the northern wall for many years, did not know the origin of the enemy, and Owen was faintly uneasy."
Use the explosives pack."
Owen suggested."
Hmm."
Viscount Jarvis nodded, and immediately gave the order to use the explosives pack.In addition to this, he shouted uneasily: "Shooting team assemble!"
”At the end of each round of attack, there will be undead monsters that will be difficult to deal with, and Viscount Jarvis will not dare to take it lightly and must prepare in advance.Until the explosives were dropped, the enemy was still hiding deep in the snow with no sign of showing up.In the distance, the snow was very deep, and Owen was only responsible for clearing the snow in the middle of the city wall for nearly three hundred meters.The farthest roadblock is within this range, and it is not necessary to go any further, and it may be too late to withdraw in case of emergency.Rumble!
Rumble!
Boom!!
There were four loud explosions in succession, and a large piece of snow slag was blown up into the sky, but it failed to kill the undead monster.This is a helpless thing, after all, the enemy is hiding - affected by the shock wave, the undead monster hiding under the snow is finally willing to reveal its true body.It's a huge bug, four or five meters long just from the part that sticks out of the ground, and God knows how long this worm is.The body is segmented, each segment has a ridge, the appearance is dark red, and the thickest part is about two meters in diameter.There are many ulcers on the body, oozing yellow turbid liquid, no eyes, four long tentacles around the head, and four hooked teeth stretching open the abyssal mouth, and you can see hundreds of sharp barbed hooks densely packed inside, and the appearance is extremely terrifying."
It's a carrion sandworm!
The shooting team hurried to aim at the target, and so did the knight troops!
”Viscount Jarvis's face became extremely ugly, and he was even more panicked than when he saw the large carrion boar before."
Is it hard to deal with?"
Owen asked.Viscount Jarvis explained while reloading: "Frontier Town has never encountered it before, this is an undead monster that only appears on the side of the Red Sand Fortress, and it is said that it is difficult to deal with.Unexpectedly, this winter not only encountered carrion boars in advance, but now even carrion sandworms have appeared. ”The carrion sandworm burrowed into the snow again and moved towards the walls.Due to the shallow snow near the city walls, it also burrowed into the earth and turned out a lot of sand.When the target was in effective firing range, Viscount Jarvis shouted: "Shoot all!"
”Bang bang bang!
Lead projectiles were shot into the snow like rocks sinking into the sea, and they did not play any role in resisting at all.Whoosh!
This is true for musket attacks, not to mention the sharp arrows that are fired.The magic core of undead monsters is usually located in the head, but the carrion sandworm burrows into the ground and moves, making it difficult for everyone to target the vital parts, and it is useless to just hit the body.The shooting team and Viscount Jarvis were quickly reloaded, and the knight troops were also pulling the strings.Soon it was a second round of shooting, but it still couldn't stop the advance of the carrion sandworms.Seeing this, Owen had no choice but to take action, raise his staff, and cast the magic that had been prepared - Skyfire!
A flame fell, and a large amount of snow melted, revealing a raging fire burning on the carrion sandworm, emitting puffs of black smoke.I thought it could severely damage the carrion sandworm, but I didn't think it was very cunning, and it drilled deeper, and used it to extinguish the flames on its body.The only effect is to force the carrion sandworms to change their direction and move to the right of the middle of the wall."
This monster!"
Further forward is the city wall, Owen can't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, this carrion sandworm is really difficult to deal with.Viscount Jarvis shouted at the section of the city wall where the carrion sandworms were attacking: "The defensive section over there, strengthen your defense!"
”"Attention all!"
The knight in charge of the section suddenly became nervous.The militiamen clenched their spears and swallowed.How to deal with this terrifying large undead monster?
They were already a little shaken in their hearts.Soon, the carrion sandworm came to the foot of the city wall and jerked out of the ground."
Thorn!"
The knight ordered decisively.Despite their fear, the militiamen instinctively stabbed their spears, but they failed to stop the carrion sandworms, not even the epidermis.The other party just shook his body and easily bounced these militia away.Whoop - The carrion sandworm stretched out its body nearly seven meters away, bent its head and opened its huge mouth towards the militia on the city wall, and let out a low roar."
Run!""
Wow!
The big monster is coming. ”Owen's fears eventually came to pass, and the militia in the face of the carrion sandworms fled.There is no way, in the face of such a terrifying large monster, it is difficult for ordinary people to maintain their composure, and it is easy to break through the psychological defense line by fear.
