While Chi Nan was exploring the Misty Forest, battles began to begin on the border side. Recently, the number of berserkers who have come outside Giant Wood City has been decreasing, and they have basically migrated away.

The number of berserkers who continue to enter the eastern forest is increasing, and after calculating this time, the number of berserkers entering there has reached hundreds of thousands. If this kind of amount rushes over at once, even the current Giant Wood City will be impossible to resist. Luckily, these beastmen don't have a relationship with each other.

I heard that there were more berserkers going to the west, so that the people there didn't dare to go out at all.

By the time the orcs slowly dwindled to none, various beetles began to appear. These beetles are the kind they have been caught before, running around on the ground, and eating whatever they come across, so to speak.

Whether it's the beastmen, the big trees and grasses, or even some things that humans can't seem to eat, are the food of these beetles. Slowly, as the beetles increased, everyone realized that the beastmen might have been driven here by the beetles.

These beetles are abundant, and their hard shells make them very resistant to beating and difficult to kill. It's just that the mouth is very good, and he is not afraid of death, and he will rush up when he sees any creature, and he will not die, which is very difficult.

But these things seem to have no brains, but they seem to have a special method of contact, which can form a unified whole. If the breeding power is strong, it is really not something that the beastmen can deal with. If there are too many of them, it's a nuisance. But soon, everyone realized that these beetles were too single.

Especially when it comes to magic, there's no resistance at all. With the help of the mage tower, the magic is a large piece at once, and no number of beetles can be enough for them to kill.

But here in Giant Wood City, the number of beetles has been increasing for a while.

Today, as soon as the bald father walked up to the city, he saw a large number of beetles rushing towards him. "What's going on, how are there so many, this swarm of beetles is at least two thousand in number. ”

With the attack of a large number of cannons, these beetles simply have no way to break through. However, the beetle is still growing in number.

"Great steward, our men tell us that these beetles were driven from the forts on the west side. It seems that this matter has something to do with those magicians, and you see if we have to fight back. ”

The bald father has always been the big butler of the territory, so there are many people who call him the big butler, and gradually, everyone is called that. Now that they have come to Giant Wood City and become the de facto city lord, they still call themselves the same.

The bald father shook his head: "Don't want it for the time being, after all, they are all some mages, and we can't offend." Write a report on this matter and send it to the lord so that the lord can decide. ”

"But the lord doesn't seem to be in Red Sand City during this time, it seems that he went somewhere else, and he can't be contacted at all. "The matter of Chi Nan's trip to the Forest of Death, no one in the outside world knows, or few people know. But they all knew that Chi Nan had left the territory and it was not clear where he went.

Even the bald father didn't tell him for secrecy. The bald father touched his bald head: "Then report it too, and talk about other things, those nobles and mages have a higher status than us, don't bring disaster to the lord." ”

"I know, my lord, so what are we going to do with these beetles, is it still the old way? ”

The bald father shook his head: "No, this time there are more of them, and it just so happens that the adults let us test the power of the cannonball against the beetle here." There were too few in the past, but this time it's best to experiment. Let's bring me special shells. ”

With the words of the bald father, the soldiers immediately became fully operational like a sophisticated machine. Living here for such a long time, the original civilians, who had strength, have also been tempered.

When there is no war in peacetime, they do their own thing, and when war breaks out, Jumu City can gather more than 30,000 fighting troops at any time. In the face of this kind of thing, many civilians even spontaneously helped the army transport goods, which was very efficient. Of course, the army is not used by everyone, they are used by local civilians who have come here with them.

The ones who joined later were separated from them, and although they also participated in training, they usually didn't use them. Everyone knows that many of these people are spies sent by others or people with ulterior motives.

"Big butler, the cannonballs are already in place, and those beetles are coming soon, when are we going to start experimenting. ”

The bald father looked ahead and said, "Let these beetles go within a range of 800 meters, and then attack." Remember, people on either side should be recorded, be detailed, and don't leave anything out. ”

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. The soldier bowed his head and said.

"It's not that I don't disappoint, it's just that we are responsible for our lives. If something goes wrong in a large-scale war, it will be you who will die. The bald father's serious lesson made the soldiers a little ashamed.

The beetle's speed was still very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the designated position. And by this time, the soldiers had already taken out all kinds of shells and were ready to start experiments. In order to get accurate data, even some cannonballs that may not work well, the bald father also arranged a section of the city wall for experimentation.

Closer, closer, those beetles' huge mouthparts can be faintly seen from so far away. Ahead, for the sake of war, Chi Nan had specially designed some references.

Just look at these references to see how far away the opposing army is from you. On the 800-meter line, there is a huge red stone, and when the beetles cross this line, it proves that they have reached the best shooting range.

"Can't wait any longer, let these beetles come closer, I don't know what the trouble is going to be. The bald old man muttered to himself. This kind of creature that is not afraid of death, even the bald father sees it and shudders.

At the sound of an order, there was a "boom" sound under his feet, and the shells had already flown out. The first shells to fly out were ordinary shells, which were used for comparison. The shells hit the ground, and countless hard shells flew out, forming shrapnel. There is also a solid bullet in the middle, which bounces forward and attacks, hitting a series of beetles along the way.

It's just that, except for the two beetles that were hit at the beginning and were shocked to death on the spot, everyone else was only hit and did not die. Soon the beetles crawled up and moved on, behaving exactly as usual.
