The soldiers also reacted at this moment, and when it was too late to turn the muzzle of another machine gun, they directly took off the revolver rifle behind their backs and opened fire.

The sword stuck in the monster became the best marker, and at ten paces, the revolver was almost impossible to miss. The officers and men www.biquge.info including Brian, fired all the bullets in one go, and the dense barrage swept over Edith's head, and she could even hear the neighing of the bullet piercing the air.

Turning around, the twisted air froze, and a monster emerged from the void. It stood at nearly six feet, half a cut taller than an adult, and in addition to a pair of scythe-sharp forelimbs, it also had seven or eight pairs of side-legs on its abdomen, and was covered in a gray-brown carapace, which looked creepy. Fortunately, the armor could not withstand the gun's close range - its elongated, locust-like head was split open with a fist-sized gap, and after two twitches, it fell to the ground bleeding profusely.

"Get out of the way!" suddenly came a loud roar from behind Edith.

A heavy sword came in response, and its strength was so great that it made a deep humming sound, and the blade smashed straight in front of the position of the first machine gun squad, knocking the other two monsters into the air, and the invisible ripples also dissipated.

Then several witches of divine punishment crossed over to her side and slashed at each other, splitting the monster that had not yet had time to rise.

"Reinforcements have arrived," Edith breathed a sigh of relief at the realization of this.

The number of enemies was not large, and there was no advantage of stealth, and they were quickly cut down by the transcendent samurai who rushed up.

And she noticed that when the monster approached the witch, it would take on a strange form—half hiding in the void, and half being forced to manifest itself, as if the ability to conceal its whereabouts had failed.

"Are you alright?" Maggie helped Edith up, "We've seen these enemies in the rock wall, but we're still a step too slow. ”

"Do you want to use the Colorful Magic Stone?"

"That's right," another tall man walked up to her, "leave it to us here, mortal weapons are not good at dealing with this situation, you go and inform the people above, and bring some witches down by the way." ”

Edith remembered that her name seemed to be Betty, "Can you break each other's disguises?"

"A technique similar to the Divine Punishment Stone," the man shrugged, "for now, it only renders the enemy's invisibility ineffective for a short time. ”

"But they also have the Stone of Divine Punishment, so why can't they see the enemy......" Brian asked through gritted teeth, looking at the three soldier corpses on the ground.

"It's not surprising," Betty replied calmly, "Light, distance, and attention all affect the results of observations, and the range of influence of ordinary quality divine stones is only about one or two steps, and the time for enemies to be exposed is only a blink of an eye, and it is normal to not see in such a dim environment." ”

Edith couldn't help but sigh, indeed, most of the time she noticed that half of the scythe monster was in the midst of the battle between the two sides, and with the length of the enemy's forelimbs and the advantage of sneak attacks, it was basically too late for ordinary people to notice that something was wrong. Unless the Divine Stone is planted in advance, the First Army really has no way to deal with this kind of enemy.

"Damn!" Brian shook his fist hard, "I should have sent the barbed wire down first!"

"Go back, I always think something might have happened in the cave," Betty urged again, "and that strange cry just now almost seemed to have shaken the whole snow-capped mountain." ”

"Did you hear that?" asked Edith, surprised.

"We've lost most of our sense of touch, so our sight and hearing have become extra acute......" she said, "I didn't expect mortals to do that." ”

Sure enough, it wasn't my hallucination before...... Edith nodded, took the Punishment Stone and threw it next to the machine gun, pulled Brian and the others around Maggie, sank into the ground with the magic ark, and then climbed up the stone wall. The Musketeer Commander was reluctant to hand over the front line of battle to the Tachira Witches, but in the end he followed the big picture, after all, once the Witches of Divine Punishment were entangled with the enemy, they would never be able to fire indiscriminately at their allies.

The people stationed on the Black Stone Tower obviously did not know about the battle taking place at the bottom of the cave, and continued to use ropes to lower tents, sacred stones, guns and ammunition and other war materials. After Bryan stopped the group, he didn't take the steam lift back to the hole, but let Maggie move on.

Just as everyone was about to arrive at the worm passage, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded overhead, and its intensity was like a storm! This means that the First Army in the outpost has not spared its hands, but has directly entered a state of full fire!

The faces of the group couldn't help but change, and the witch blushed even more, making the ascent a little faster.

After the magic ark burst out of the ground, Edith's eyes widened.

Three machine gun squads lined up to shoot at the dark roof of the cave under the command of Sylvie, while the revolver and precision fire teams were designed to deal with the dead spots overhead, and they only needed to raise the barrel and fire along the cave wall without aiming at the enemy.

"What is the enemy?" asked Brian, grabbing one of the soldiers.

"It's an evil beast, my lord!" the soldier reported as he busied himself with ammunition, "a group of evil beasts have poured down from the snowy mountains!"

"Holy, how could they suddenly come here at this time!"

A thought flashed through Edith's mind.

Could it be that the dull hum was used to summon the same kind?

She had read in a book written by His Majesty that there was a strange kind of sound in this world, which was difficult for the human ear to hear, but it was exceptionally clear to some creatures, and even some species could make such sounds to communicate with their own kind in a unique way.

However, there was more than one piece of surprising news, and while Brian was watching the battle, another soldier ran into the cave, "My lord, Miss Maisie has noticed signs of unusual activity from the evil beasts east of the Hidden Forest - they seem to be moving in the direction of the snowy mountains, rather than attacking Neverwinter as expected!"

"What? this—" The Musket Battalion Commander froze for a moment.

"Your Excellency?" asked the soldier eagerly, "what shall we do?"

"How so...... How could this be ......" Brian blushed, muttering a sentence over and over again, and fine sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.

This guy is still too inexperienced, Edith frowned, as a commander, he can't show the confusion and helplessness in his heart at any time, especially in front of his subordinates.

She coughed twice, "It's not complicated, first of all, we need to gather the First Army stationed outside the snowy mountain and concentrate on the defense of the cave entrance, so that the length of the front can be greatly reduced, and only a few machine guns are needed to contain the impact of the evil beast." ”

Brian looked at her, and it took a while for him to come to his senses, "Say...... That's right. ”

"Secondly, let Miss Maisie contact His Majesty Roland at once, and ask him to send reinforcements, just in case—after all, we need to be supplied by the Chishui River for ammunition and food, and once we abandon the camp and hold the passage, we will not be able to fight for a long time. Edith quickly and unhurriedly continued, "In addition, the evil beast does not have the ability to swim, so don't give up the few cement boats outside, leaving a dozen or so people can not only contain the evil beast, but also guide the direction of the follow-up personnel." ”

"The evil beast on the roof of the cave has Miss Sylvie in charge of guiding the fire, so it's not a big problem, and as for the distributed divine stone, you don't need to wear it on your body for the time being, but bury it around the checkpoint to prevent sneak attacks. Finally, don't forget to send the Tachira Witches to the bottom of the cave, Betty is still waiting for our reinforcements, and only when there are enough of them can we make our way to the southern end of the river and retrieve Miss Egtha and the others. Her voice was calm and steady, calming the people around her, "The quicker this step, the better—if I'm not mistaken, it's where the weird sound comes from that is the key to solving the problem." ”

Brian took a deep breath, "I see, I'll do as you say." ”
