Chapter 742: Barbarian Invasion (I)
"And they came."
Standing on the city wall, looking at the dense small black dots in the distance on the horizon, Antonio sighed. As early as a few days ago, he had obtained the disappearance of the barbarian invasion from Jenn. To be honest, Antonio was shocked when he first heard the news. Especially when I heard that the other party actually had monsters like the Thunderbird and the Beamon Behemoth, it made Antonio even more unthinkable. These days, Antonio has used almost all the resources at his disposal, alerting the surrounding fortresses and asking for reinforcements in the rear. However, the Templar's answer did not come as a surprise to Antonio......... They obviously can't draw more manpower now, after all, the undead legion on the Elven Forest is also a big threat.
At this moment, Antonio felt as if he was standing on the beach with his bare hands, ready to fight a tsunami-like despair. But he still mustered up the courage to order his paladins to be on guard, even though the old paladins knew that there was no point in this. But he was prepared -- but Jenn apparently had a different view of it.
"You just have to stay in the back and watch the show."
Thinking back to the young man's confident words, Antonio didn't know where Jenn's confidence came from. Thunderbird and Beamon Behemoth are almost all myths and legends, and even if they are themselves, they have never fought against such monsters. Not to mention the Mammoth Colossus, the Mountain Giant......... Are these really the ones you can defeat?
Antonio had no hope in his heart, and he had even foreseen the complete destruction of himself and the small fortress under the iron heels of the barbarian army. But incredible. Antonio is not intimidated by this. After so many years of garrisoning this border fortress, his will has long been as hard as iron. The hand holding the hilt of the sword did not tremble in the slightest, and he was not even as panicked and frightened as the others. Just calmly looking ahead. He was ready to live and die with this fortress, and he was ready to send someone to report as soon as the fortress was breached.
For Antonio, that's the only thing he can do.
However, even in the face of despair and unfavorable circumstances, human beings will choose to struggle rather than surrender. It's the same with Antonio at the moment. He looked up at the blue sky in front of him, and couldn't help but think back to what Jenn had said earlier.
The young man. Is there really such a ability?
“――――――!!”
As if in response to Antonio's doubts, at this moment, the sound of a dragon's roar suddenly sounded.
"These guys are really cowardly."
Standing on the dragon's head, overlooking the barbarian army galloping on the ground below. Jenn smiled dismissively. Compared to the huge army he had observed before. The barbarian army in front of him has completely shrunk. Not only are the Thunderbirds and Beamon nowhere to be found, but even the mammoths have only two or three kittens. The entire army is a raid legion composed of nearly 10,000 orc cavalry and werewolf warriors. At this moment, they were running forward on the wilderness with all their might, and the smoke and dust they brought up flew high, as if they were angry waves with loess.
The orc cavalry whipped hard at the rhinoceros-looking but fast-moving mount beneath him. In between them, the werewolves let out a terrifying howl and mingled with the orc cavalry, they fell on all fours. It ran forward as fast as a real wolf, even faster than the orc cavalry looked.
But ahead of them. There are even more terrifying existences.
The mammoths strode forward, and even the ground trembled as they galloped, their long, sharp tusks reflecting white light in the sunlight, and it seemed as if they could easily pierce a wall. At this moment, they were the vanguard of the entire barbarian army, launching an almost irresistible attack on the fortress in front of them. There was no need to look at it, Jenn could guess what was going to happen next with his eyes closed - the paladins' weapons would not cause any trouble to the mammoth's fleshy body, and the fortress's biscuit-like walls would collapse completely under the onslaught of the mammoth. Paladins who have lost the protection of the walls will be completely reduced to meat sauce under the iron hooves of the barbarian army......... Well......... Strictly speaking, it's actually a good choice?
Thinking of this, Jenn nodded, then shrugged his shoulders again.
To be honest, Jenn didn't plan to attack these barbarians, after all, it was a good choice for them to harm humans. It's a pity......... Who told him to need XP now?
In the face of such a surging experience value, Jenn naturally couldn't let it go.
On the other hand, from the performance of the barbarian legions, Jenn also sensed their tactics, which was obvious. Destroying the coalition camp before scared these guys out. That's why they carefully sent out such a team of people to test and send them to death, but this is fine, if they start with the whole army, then they have to use their hole cards. But now, since the other party is willing to choose to delay, he naturally can't ask for it. As for the experience in front of you.........
"Just eat it all."
As he spoke, Jenn raised his right hand and pointed forward.
"The whole army is attacking."
With Jenn's movements, the next moment, the dragons that had already been ready to attack suddenly flew out of the clouds, roaring and flying towards the barbarian army in the distance.
The dragon roared down.
The roar in my ears was like thunder, and when I looked up, I could only see a dark shadow covering the sky. The sight of this also surprised the barbarian army that was galloping forward, although they had been told that the humans might have some very powerful and terrifying means of attack before this attack. But......... Dragon? How did these humans get involved with dragons?
Before they could figure out what was going on, a barrage of artillery fire erupted in front of the galloping barbarian army, as if the menacing Flame Demon God had opened the passage to Purgatory, welcoming them all the way to the sea of flames that would burn everything to destruction.
And that's exactly what happened.
Mammoths, who bore the brunt of the brunt, were naturally the most unlucky victims, and the swirling steel cannonballs mercilessly cracked through their rough skin, shards of sharp metal tearing through their skin and inserting into their flesh. In the blink of an eye, the huge monster that could stand even if it could resist countless arrows and crossbows fell to the ground with a wail. Before they could desperately get back to their feet, a new round of explosions suddenly swallowed everything in front of them like a roaring wave of flames.
Even the mammoth, which is a "meat shield", could not withstand the shelling of the Firmament Legion, so the orc cavalry and werewolves that followed closely behind were naturally not to mention. They followed the mammoth headlong into a world of fire and explosions, from which no one could escape. When the explosion dissipated and the flames were gone, all that remained was a charred corpse. Not a single person escaped alive from it, and no one was able to withstand such a terrible bombardment.
However, the barbarian army did not stop.
They are like moths to a fire, even though they know that they will end up being burned by flames and dying, they still move forward without a trace of hesitation. But the dragon legion didn't care about the courage they showed. It's as if humans don't care about ants dying at their feet, they just rush forward, spitting the flames of destruction to their heart's content, mercilessly harvesting the life in front of them.
And all this, naturally, was also seen by the barbarian leaders in the rear.
"It seems that humans really have a new method, and they are still dragons..............."
The werewolf leader grimaced, staring at the dark shadows in the distance, his tone revealing anger and trembling. That was the instinctive reaction of a lower creature in the face of a higher creature, and as a werewolf, he was naturally not exempt from vulgarity. And the Giant Queen was also silent at this time, judging from her frowning brows, it was obvious that this state of affairs had also exceeded the scope of the Giant Queen's imagination.
It is no wonder that for the barbarians, their most hated enemies are humans. Then the most terrible enemy is naturally the dragons. Barbarians believe in power, and the dragons, as the top existence of the power level of the main plane, have always been the most feared existence. And so many dragons frightened them even more, although they had made a series of speculations about this, but the barbarian leaders never thought that humans would actually unite with the dragons, and they would also attack themselves. How is this possible? It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a noble race as dragons to be willingly driven by humans, and perhaps one or two powerful dragons will come to their aid with some kind of restraint or spell, but a whole group of dragons? How exactly do these humans do it?
Compared to the other two leaders who fell silent because of the shock, the orc king was far less dignified than they appeared. For him, whether it is the dragon race or the human race, as long as it is in front of him, then all of them are enemies, as long as they are completely destroyed, there is no other choice!
"Now that those hiding pests have come out, it's our turn next!!"
Saying this, the orc king waved his hand suddenly.
"According to the plan, order the Thunderbird army to attack!!" (To be continued.) )
