Chapter 336, Surprise Attack!
After a few people had eaten and drunk, they ran to the edge of Oasis Town for a walk to eat.
The Northland Desert is much livelier now than it used to be. The Oasis Town is full of people, and you can see people of almost all forces, all colors, and all races.
Due to the special geographical environment here, there are no city walls, and there are no so-called soldiers, so other forces can easily reach Oasis Town. They either ship or buy, and use it as a second distribution center after Crow.
Falke bit a toothpick in his mouth, and said vaguely while shaving his teeth: "It seems that as long as the races on the continent are united and the various forces put down the mustard, our strength is still very strong~~ The so-called portal devil and the Holy See don't seem to be very good." ”
Hearing his words, the lizardman immediately followed: "It's just ~~ There is no one who can fight!" My mace is already~~ I don't know when it's our turn to return to the front line? I still have to earn more points, we have to be promoted to a high-level mercenary group, and I have to fight side by side with the mercenary king! Hahaha~~~ I still want to be his deputy head~! ”
At this time, Salomon's words came from the side lightly: "The mercenary king doesn't need a brainless lizardman to be the deputy leader, unless he wants all his people to become foodies." ”
"What did you say? Don't look down on people! I'm telling you, I'm so much smarter than I used to be! If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you.... One two gets two, one three gets three, one four gets four, one five gets five, one six gets six, one seven... How much do you get? I remember Le yesterday. ”
The white of Salomon's eyes were about to roll to the back of his head, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry up and stop, this is the ninety-nine multiplication formula taught to you by His Highness Klose, right?" You only memorize one, forget it, can you forget it? Alas... Sure enough, the lizardman's brain wasn't as big as my little finger's fingernail. ”
"What?! Do you dare to underestimate me? You have the ability to carry a complete one! ”
"Shhhh Stop arguing! ”
Falk suddenly covered the lizardman's mouth and stood there with his ears pricked up to listen to something.
"What's wrong? Fack? ”
Turquoise walked over and asked worriedly.
"Shh~~~ Did you hear anything?"
His expression became strange and he began to look around. But the other people looked at it, except for the people who came and went like the old days, there was nothing wrong with it.
"What's wrong? It can't be that just two glasses of ale made you drink too much, right? ”
Ward scoffed.
"Shut up! A sucker! We've heard it all before, it's the sound of a ripper crawling through the sand! ”
"Why didn't I see where the Rip Monster was?"
Ward removed his mace from his back and looked around nervously.
Celem also took out his magic bow and arrow.
Jadeite clutched his staff tightly in both hands.
Only Toto looked at them and shrugged his shoulders with a nonchalant expression. The teammates of this squad are actually quite good, but it is undeniable that their spirit is a little different from that of normal people....
Although Toto has not been a member for a long time, he has already experienced this deeply.
But suddenly! Fack's gaze was fixed somewhere! He gently drew the short sword from his waist, only to see that the short sword shone with a turquoise sheen.
Fack's face changed, and he pointed to a flat desert in the distance of Oasis Town and shouted, "There's something down there!" ”
Almost as soon as his words fell, there was a loud "boom"! A big hole suddenly fell into the sand!
Four thin, long, withered legs and feet protruded from the hole. A shrill hiss followed, and a spider-like thing crawled out of the hole.
"It's a sand spider! How did they come to the edge of town? ”
No one answered Fack's question, because the next moment he knew the answer himself.
I saw that under the spider, groups of rip monsters poured out like ants that had been cut out of their nests!
"Rip Monster! They actually used the sand spider to open the underground passage? All of them! Combat Readiness ~~~~! ”
Fack's face turned white .... He didn't expect these rift monsters that seemed to have brains about the size of the lizardmen to come up with such a dark way to attack their big rear!? I don't know if the mercenary king has found out, and he must send someone to inform them immediately!
At this moment, more and more Rip Monsters poured out of the sand pit and began to attack the surrounding crowd.
And now there are caravans and convoys from many other forces in Oasis Town. Suddenly attacked by monsters, these crowds suddenly broke out into chaos! Everyone was chased by these terrible monsters and fled in all directions, until more and more mercenaries poured into the battlefield to control the chaos.
"Hell! Where did these Rip Monsters come from? ”
The leader of one of the mercenary squads wielded a two-handed greatsword and gradually moved closer to Farke's side.
The Wind Blade dagger in Farke's hand unleashed a whirlwind of wind blades in succession, creating a vacuum in front of him.
He took advantage of the gap to shout to the people behind him, "Viren! I need the fastest runner of your mercenary group, go to the ruins and inform Lord Cusack immediately! It seems that these monsters have been planning for a long time, and they must be sent back as soon as possible! ”
"I see!"
The man answered, and hurriedly shouted something to a small man in his group.
The little man nodded, and whistled in his mouth. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a sand ostrich with two strong legs sprang out of the stable!
The little man jumped on the back of the sand ostrich, and the fellow spread his thighs and ran off into the distance, like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye he could not see anyone.
Fake's heart settled down a little, and the surrounding mercenary groups had gathered more and more together. This is a tactic that everyone has practiced countless times in their usual drills, that is, don't be divided into small pieces by these monsters! In this way, they will gradually be eaten away by their numerical superiority.
They must be replaced in turns, and if the outer combatants are injured or fatigued, the internal combatants will have them replaced in time, so that they can respond to the attacks of the rifts repeatedly.
But what people didn't expect was that these rift monsters could drive sand spiders!?
But in the chaos, there were three loud bangs! Three more bunkers have appeared around! Once again, a sand spider and countless rip monsters popped up in each bunker.
"What a hell! When have they opened so many channels? How come we didn't notice it at all! ”
Falk and his men fought and retreated, and the mercenary group gradually gathered and began to defend with the Oasis Tavern as a backing.
Due to the sudden arrival of monsters, and the number is huge! This made it inevitable that the mercenary team that could have been gathered together would have been scattered. There were several small teams of mercenaries who had to retreat into the nearby houses or stores to fight the trapped beasts. Fark and the others had retreated to the top floor of the tavern, using the high ground to attack the surrounding Rip Monsters.
I saw Ward, the muscular lizardman, pick up a long-handled mace like a lawnmower, and as long as he spun it, he could clear a clearing in an instant!
It's just that there are too many enemies! It barely took a second for a new Rip Monster to fill the clearing.
Salomon stood high in the middle of the crowd, occasionally shooting arrows with a bow. The magic arrows he shoots have different attributes for each one, and sometimes burst into flames in the midst of monster hordes! Sometimes the monster will be frozen into an ice sculpture, but sometimes it will only make a small flower bloom on the top of the monster's head.... It's purely random anyway.
Jadeite held the staff in her hand and kept chanting healing spells, she didn't care if it was your alopecia areata, athlete's foot, or flesh wounds, anyway, just read it out in one go! The effect of the treatment is completely left to fate~~!
Only the ice magic cast by the new mage Toto has the most impact on these monsters!
Perhaps not used to fighting in extremely low temperatures, these Rift Monsters attacked Toto in the least number of them all.
He noticed this, and hurriedly summoned a wall of ice to block them around, leaving only an open space in front of them. That way, they don't have to worry about being attacked on their backs.
But what made him depressed was that casting ice magic in the Northland Desert was very mana-consuming! And the duration is also short.
Due to the nature of the desert area, the ice magic elements contained in the air here are very rare, and fortunately this is Oasis Town, if it is in the middle of the desert, Toto's role can be almost zero.
That's why he has to fill his body with water bottles every time he fights with his team, or else he throws three or four of his ice magic and squandered the ice magic elements in the air around him.
