Chapter 158: Charge from Both Sides
Then, 60 killer bees from the spirit world, each as big as a 1-meter-tall child or dwarf, fluttered their wings and swarmed towards the devils from hell.
It was as sudden as if paratroopers dropped from the sky, instantly killing those hell demons who had not noticed that there were enemies attacking from the sky, catching them off guard!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Then, with the sound of flapping wings violently, these killer bees from the spirit world wreaked havoc among the devils from hell, stabbing their stingers into their bodies.
The tail sting that looked like a dagger caused many hell demons to be killed or injured immediately!
What's more, the Kugit grassland bandits around were still drawing bows and shooting arrows at those devils from hell.
It also made all the devils from hell fall down one after another.
These hellish demons, which were originally arranged in a dense formation of hundreds of people, were quickly harvested.
After all, those killer bees from the spiritual world have already begun wreaking havoc among the demons of hell.
These hell demons on the periphery have no way to provide support.
It's like a center-blooming tactic.
When the flower has bloomed in the center, the petals on the edge will be restricted if they want to return to provide support due to the threat of these Kugit grassland bandits.
It is impossible to get help!
It is also impossible to allow these devils from hell to come back for support at will.
Especially Shen Mu, who was standing on a high place, looked coldly at those hell devils who were still fighting desperately and trying to return to the Sujia Village station to protect those medium-level devils from suffering too much harm.
Although his own killer bees from the spiritual world were wreaking havoc, they were also chopped to death one by one by the scimitars of the demons during the advancement of those medium-sized demons.
After the 60 killer bees killed forty or fifty hell demons at the moment of contact, they fell into a disadvantage because of the close combat.
They began to be killed by those devils from hell.
However, more than ten killer bees died in just a few moments.
And as Shen Mu looked over, he saw four or five more killer bees being hacked to death on the spot by those hell demons using their scimitars.
A rather miserable appearance.
And people can quickly understand that these 60 killer bees from the spiritual world cannot produce much killing effect among these demons from hell.
In close combat, these 60 spirit world killer bees simply took advantage of their wings for sky raids.
It is simply impossible to confront those devils from hell head-on.
"Sure enough, relying on these killer bees from the spirit world won't have much effect on the battle situation."
Shen Mu, who was standing on a high place at this time, also understood.
He groaned slightly.
He stretched out his hand and communicated with the system with his mind again: "Swarm harassment!" and released the summoning skill again.
'Om! '
Once again, white light flashed from between his brows, flowing out along with the data stream.
The cool feeling that surged from Shen Mu's chest was wrapped in these white data streams, and it directly drew an arc and came to the sky above those hell demons again.
'Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!'
As the giant killer bees from the spiritual world appeared again.
This nature-type swarm harassment, level 4 summoning skill was released again.
And those giant killer bees from the spirit world directly joined the remaining 30 or so killer bees of their own kind, and raised their dagger-like tail stingers towards those hell demons and stabbed them fiercely.
Indeed, there was another bloody storm!
Shen Mu can release the lv4 swarm harassment skill 6 times a day, summoning 60 giant killer bees each time.
It can be said to be a very practical harassment skill.
Now Shen Mu has discovered that the giant killer bees summoned by this swarm harassment can be defined as a second-order Mount and Blade soldier in terms of actual combat power.
It is the type with high attack and low defense.
There is no defense.
Almost no different from ordinary farmers.
In fact, their fighting power is no different from that of ordinary farmers. Even the damage caused by their dagger-like tail spikes is almost the same as that of first-level recruits holding scythes.
The reason why these spirit world killer bees can be defined as second-order Mount and Blade soldiers is actually because they are flying soldiers.
It can create completely different effects when it comes to raiding and harassing the enemy.
After all, flying over the enemy's head and attacking while the enemy is still fighting fiercely is indeed more surprising than rushing over with two legs or riding a horse.
Just like now when Shen Mu summoned out these giant spirit killer bees again.
Those devils from hell who were caught off guard suddenly showed some despair in their eyes.
"Damn it! I didn't expect he was a spellcaster!"
"After my extraordinary power is restored, I will eat the souls of these humans alive!"
"That human from Blue Star, I will definitely torture his soul when the time comes!"
"That human from Blue Star is definitely connected to the Abyss Demon. These killer bees from the spirit world that he summoned definitely have the bloodline of the Abyss Demon!"
"Kill him, kill him, kill him!"
Even those medium-level demons began to roar in anger at this time.
Because it’s not that they don’t want to resist, nor is it that they can’t kill these giant killer bees.
This was because while they were still paying attention to the killer bees from the spirit world that would fall down and sting them from time to time, the human cavalry not far away were still attacking them with bows and arrows.
Moreover, these devils from hell have also discovered that there are more human cavalry, and heavy cavalry wearing full armor, who have formed a battle formation with a fierce look in their eyes from a distance.
He looked as if he was ready to rush over and completely defeat them at any time.
In such an urgent situation, how can these devils from hell effectively defend and resist?
The situation immediately became very difficult.
And in this situation, these devils from hell also discovered some blood from the abyss demons flowing in the blood of the killer bees in the spiritual world.
After all, these devils from hell used their scimitars to kill quite a few killer bees from the spirit world.
The blood of the killer bees from the spirit world that flowed out had a strong fishy smell and indeed had a hint of black and red.
As for this black and red blood and the special fishy smell that permeates it, these devils of hell are of course quite clear about which race it comes from.
After all, they have been fighting with the abyss demons in a bloody battle for tens of thousands of years without a clear winner, and they are also strangling the lives and souls of both sides.
They were already quite familiar with the abyss demons, just as the abyss demons were also quite familiar with these hell demons.
When they saw the breath of the abyss demon appearing in the blood of these spiritual killer bees, they already had some more guesses and ideas in their minds.
Is this a trap deliberately set by those abyss demons?
"We must go back and report this matter to the Fifth Warlord!"
Those medium-level demons were howling.
Now they have indeed discovered a rather large secret. At least if they analyze and think about it in their minds, it is a huge secret.
After all, in this area that was destined to become a desert, there were fragments of artifacts from Yeenoghu, the god of gnolls.
It is said that Yeenoghu, the gnoll god, also once lived in the Abyss. He was a demon god who possessed the blessings of the Abyss and true godhood.
It also hides the secret of the gods' disappearance.
It even hides the secrets of divine fire, divine power, and divine nature, the authority that belongs exclusively to the gods.
For these devils in hell, if they could master this secret, they would be able to obtain an endless supply of souls.
After all, the God of Gnolls is a racial deity.
If one could master his secrets and authority, any dead jackals could be transformed into countless souls that entered Hell and became their food.
Moreover, being able to gain the amplification of a god would be of great help to these leaders of the demons in hell.
After all, the Commander of Hell is equivalent to the Lord of the Abyss.
And they all have virtual godhood.
In essence, they are as powerful as those gods who have ignited the divine fire, condensed the divine nature, and can freely exert their divine power in the mortal world.
And if it is a high-level demon among them, they will master this power about gods.
It is not impossible to be promoted to the commander of hell.
Therefore, the fifth warlord, the high-level devil, to whom these middle-level devils belong, is quite coveting the secret of Yeenoghu, the god of gnolls.
Therefore, these medium-level devils must return to the subway tunnel and report all these things clearly and completely to their Fifth Overseer.
These things must be made clear. It was definitely not because of their own incompetence that they were defeated by the human army.
It was all because that human lord had set a trap for them.
And also introduced the power of the abyss demon.
Otherwise, how could these devils from hell be defeated so easily by the human lord and fail to even break through the first city wall?
I completely fell into a trap!
Moreover, he was able to escape back thanks to his heroic fighting and his wise perception of the bigger trap, so he retreated and avoided the possibility of annihilation.
Not only can I not punish myself, but I have to praise myself for these medium-level devils being so keen to perceive the whole set.
Of course, these medium-level devils have already unified their words about the specific situation. After all, their retreat back now is an act of defeat.
In the level of hell devil production, their retreat and escape now is tantamount to an act that seriously affects their promotion.
So they have to find a very suitable and perfect reason.
That's it for now.
"Hurry up, we need to get back! Stop those killer bees!"
"Everyone gather here, pay attention this way!"
"Right, right!"
"Those humans are shooting arrows again! Watch out!"
Those middle-level devils were still loudly directing the square formation formed by those low-level devils, quickly filling in the gaps in the formation.
Just let those low-level demons keep moving forward to die, to prevent the human archers and heavy cavalry from posing any threat to them.
But even so, the arrows shot by the nomadic bows of the Kugit grassland bandits in the distance still kept reducing the number of these hellish devils.
In addition, the killer bees from the spiritual world are still wreaking havoc in the formations of these hellish demons.
As a result, the retreat speed of these hell demons was seriously slowed down.
It was almost impossible to move forward.
And this is exactly the effect Shen Mu wanted, which was to severely harass these hell demons and prevent them from retreating to the Sujia Village station in time.
This not only can effectively and continuously consume the manpower of these hell demons, but also can delay time, making the hell demons become more and more anxious when the final attack is launched.
After all, once it gets close to daytime, these hell demons who are all exposed to the rules of the blue planet and the spiritual world will be instantly flung away and suffer irreversible damage.
Even leading to the death of these devils from hell.
Therefore, if Shen Mu delays for longer and longer, making the final offensive impossible, then these hell demons will give up this offensive and retreat their troops back into the subway tunnel.
Then Shen Mu will be able to spend a peaceful day again.
Being able to spend a day in peace is definitely another growth for Shen Mu, who has mastered the rules and system of Mount and Blade.
By then, if those devils from hell want to attack New Rivadin again, maybe the situation won't be as simple as this.
One day.
It was enough for Shen Mu to speed up the construction of taller city walls, taller arrow towers, and organize a more effective defense system.
There are also upgrades to more powerful Mount and Blade soldiers!
so.
Shen Mu just needs to delay time.
Time is on Shen Mu's side.
'Swish, swish, swish, swish!'
At this moment, sharp whistling sounds appeared again on the battlefield. The Kugit grassland bandits were constantly drawing their bows and shooting arrows, projecting black shadows formed by feather arrows into the formation of the hell devils.
Took away the lives of one devil after another from hell.
However, these devils from hell were still entangled by the killer bees from the spirit world and could not continue to move their formation as before. They slowly and steadily moved towards the subway tunnel.
Now they were all stuck where they were.
"No, we can't continue like this, we must drive away those human archers!"
These middle-level devils also realized that something was wrong.
Now these medium-sized demons have begun to actively attack the spirit world killer bees that are trapped in their formation with scimitars in their hands.
Only in this way can we kill on the spot those killer bees from the spirit world that take off and land from time to time and stab us with the dagger-like stingers on their tails.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for those low-level demons who only wore simple round shields on their left arms and used scimitars in their right hands to fight back against the spirit world killer bees to effectively kill those giant spirit world killer bees.
Because those giant spirit world killer bees, although they have the prefix of giant, each of them has the ability to fly and the vibration of their wings, making their bodies extremely flexible in mid-air.
If they didn't take advantage of the moment when these killer bees actively attacked them and seize the opportunity, it would be difficult to hurt these killer bees with the machete.
After all, as long as all these killer bees reach a height of two or three meters, these hell demons who lack long-range attack means will not be able to hurt these killer bees at all.
This creates an awkward situation where the killer bees can harm these hell demons, but these hell demons cannot kill the killer bees at all.
Therefore, it is necessary to have these medium-level demons with more powerful means, more cruel methods, and more sophisticated fighting skills to appear.
This is the only way to effectively kill those killer bees on the spot and keep them falling down.
But even so, it would be difficult for their formation to continue retreating towards the Sujia Village station.
Because the harassment capabilities of the human archer cavalry around them were too strong, especially with the harassment of these killer bees from the spirit world, they had no way of retreating effectively, and the tight formation they had formed could not move quickly.
The hell demons who had never experienced this kind of cavalry tactics were really helpless.
Therefore, when they realized that their formation was constantly being depleted, the inferior devils under their command had all been wiped out, and the remaining low-level devils were almost unable to hold on, these medium-level devils finally ordered the formation to be disbanded and began to attack the human archer cavalry.
There is really no other solution, so I have to give up.
"Start attacking the surroundings!"
So these medium-level devils issued orders one after another.
Then the 100-man square formation of low-level devils that had originally formed a tight formation immediately disbanded, and each low-level devil howled and raised his scimitar in his hand, rushing towards the Kugit grassland bandits, launching a desperate attack.
These low-level devils also knew that such a charge itself was an act of suicide, but there was nothing they could do since the orders from the middle-level devils had already been issued, so they had no choice but to do this.
Then he deliberately used this method of consuming his own life to provide those medium-level devils with a chance to escape quickly.
At this time, the Kugit grassland bandits were indeed forced to turn their horses around and leave because of the low-level devils that rushed towards them after they broke up their formation.
Although when they rode away, they were also holding nomadic bows and shooting arrows at the low-level demons rushing towards them.
Keep shooting these low-level demons to death on the spot.
However, because they kept distance, they created gaps in the low-level devil formations, leaving space and opportunities for the medium-level devils to evacuate.
"Let's go, let's retreat quickly!"
Those middle-level devils looked at the low-level devils going to their deaths with ferocious and cruel expressions, without any emotion in their eyes.
There is only apathy and indifference.
For the devils, lower-level devils are meant to die.
Now that these lower-level devils have completed their mission, the middle-level devils like us need to retreat quickly, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
So these medium-sized demons started running quickly, taking advantage of the fact that all the human archers and cavalry around them were tied up and unable to get close to them.
According to the estimation of these middle-level devils, they only need to run quickly for four or five minutes to reach the subway tunnel station.
When the time comes, if you can enter the subway station, you will survive.
It's just that their ideas are good.
For Shen Mu, who was still standing on a high place and overlooking the entire battlefield situation, he did not think that they could escape.
Because he had already seen that on the south side of the city wall, Aileyon and Resarit, with the members of the Holy Tree Knights and the Swadian heavy cavalry, were slowly approaching.
These heavy cavalrymen did not care about the low-level demons that dispersed, and almost used suicide to drive away the Kugit grassland bandits.
Not even paying attention to these low-level devils.
Instead, under the leadership of Ailen and Resarit, like a group of vicious wolves, they began to focus their main attack targets on the backs of those medium-sized demons that were still fleeing quickly.
And he started the warhorse under his crotch to run.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
Then, in a very short period of time, through the perfect tactical qualities of the Holy Tree Knights and the Swadian Heavy Cavalry, they formed a vanguard formation and a wall charge formation.
The Swadian heavy cavalry was in a lance charge formation, and they immediately formed two long lines and began to chase after the middle-level devils from behind and crush them.
And the one leading these Swadian heavy cavalry was Resarit.
He was very good at commanding these Swadian heavy cavalry to form a formation of riding on the wall and charging with spears.
At this moment, it really was like a steel wall, rapidly approaching the backs of those medium-sized devils.
The lances held under the armpits of the Swadian heavy cavalry were now shining with cold light, and they couldn't wait to taste the lives of these middle-level devils to see what they tasted like!
On the right side of these medium-sized demons, the Holy Tree Knights who were still charging forward quickly made an arc and arrived at the direction of the Sujia Village subway station at a faster speed.
And they began to line up again, forming a vanguard formation.
Ailen and the 60 Holy Tree Knights on both sides serve as the sharp tip and blade, and the 50 Holy Tree Cavalrymen at the back serve as the handle.
In front of the medium-sized devils whose formation had become scattered due to their fast running, they also began to spur their horses into a charge.
The silver-bright Holy Tree Lance in the hands of these Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry also began to flash with the cold light of death.
It is also aimed at these medium-level devils.
And at the back, when the black steel wall was getting closer and closer to these medium-sized devils, it was as if the white steel wall was pressing towards them.
The Holy Tree Knights and the Swadian Heavy Cavalry formed a two-pronged attack that could destroy everything!
