Lord: Skeleton soldiers are weak?I am infinitely talented

Chapter 17 Ant Army, Giant Boss Ant Queen
The night outside the window was as dark as ink.

Looking out from the window of the castle, apart from the white light rising from the corpse of the goblin, there was silence and no movement outside the city walls.

After each invasion, the corpses of the monsters will be kept until the next invasion for the lords to collect materials from the corpses.

Now that the white light is rising, it means that a new enemy has appeared!

"Damn, before I can enslave the goblin leader, the corpse will be refreshed!"

Su Yi immediately led the elite skeleton soldiers to the top of the city, shrinking the labor troops around the territory back to prepare for defense.

It was just after midnight, and the light was obscured by dark clouds, making visibility extremely low.

However, due to the interaction between the lord and the soldiers, Su Yi keenly discovered that the skeleton soldiers in the northeast were all attacked during their retreat.

Their soul flames extinguished suddenly.

A skeleton soldier was advancing with a stone in his arms, but suddenly disappeared on the flat ground, and the other workers around him died in the same way.

It disappeared so quickly that Su Yi switched the perspectives of more than a dozen skeleton soldiers in succession before he could clearly see the appearance of the invading monster.

It has fangs, giant claws, and six legs with sharp barbs.

The segmented limbs are connected to the abdomen, and the compound eyes are shining with a scarlet fierce light.

Thousands of giant ants broke through the ground and attacked the defense line from the northeast.

These two-meter-long ant-like monsters are extremely fast, and it only takes 3 minutes to resist the foot of the city wall.

Their limbs look slender and fragile, but they are covered with a layer of green carapace to protect their vitals.

Some are even blue in color, with a green light glowing on the giant claws they wave, which is obviously extremely poisonous.

"Holy crap, the difficulty increased so much on the second day?"

"Thousands of rare ones, nearly a hundred excellent ones, and even the BOSS appeared together!"

Through the night vision ability of undead creatures, Su Yi saw the giant ant queen surrounded by ants from a distance.

The hill-like "chrysalis" made the queen lose the ability to move, and she could only be carried by the group, but her pair of giant claws were astonishingly large, and they were a pair of "excellent" level!

Another labor force returned at this time and ran head-on into the advancing ant colony.

The monsters were attracted by the skeleton soldiers and immediately attacked the unlucky ones.

Giant claws swept across and sharp teeth gnawed.Some giant blue ants also have the ability to spray acid.

More than a thousand skeleton soldiers were wiped out without even being able to persist for half a minute. The skeletons were carried by the ants and presented to the queen.

This is the tradition of the ant clan. Whenever an enemy is eliminated, the enemy's corpse will be eaten by the queen and turned into nutrients to produce a new colony.

But this time, after chewing for a while, the queen ant showed a puzzled expression on her face.

"grumble?"

The pale skeleton made the ant colony's habit of fighting to support war come to a standstill.What you eat is bones, and what you pull out is bone residue, which has no nutritional value at all.

Su Yi looked at this scene from afar and almost laughed out loud.

As long as I'm trash, no one can take advantage of me.

The E-class skeleton soldiers actually prevented the ant colony from expanding in this way, which was more satisfying than a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

Taking advantage of the ant colony being attracted by the labor force, the [Bone Outpost] operated at full capacity, recruiting 5000 skeleton crossbowmen again, expanding the city wall crossbow array to a size of 2W.

Even so, Su Yi was still a little unsteady, and issued several orders one after another, putting all the previously prepared defense methods on standby.

【Sura】level difficulty finally appeared at this moment.

The goblin tribe is just a snack before meals. Although there are many of them, they can be easily killed by high-level troops.

When the elite candidates relax their vigilance and develop their territories with peace of mind.

A midnight raid gave everyone a little [Shura] shock.

Su Yi stayed up until 0 o'clock to wait for the magic book to be refreshed.

After the monster appeared, he responded immediately, and still lost thousands of troops.

If the other candidates were resting at this time and were caught off guard by the ant colony's surprise attack from the ground, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The collective hand-to-hand combat is coordinated, and the long-range acid can corrode bones.

Under the command and coordination of the ant queen, the ant colony's combat effectiveness is more than ten times higher than that of the goblin tribe. Fighting against such enemies in close combat is seeking death.

Su Yi immediately ordered that the skeleton soldiers who failed to return to the territory stay away and hide, and wait for the battle to end before returning.

From the next day, the data of monsters killed or killed will be recorded by the territory panel.

Su Yi learned about the specific attributes of the ant colony through the killed skeleton soldiers.

【Worker Ant】

[Quality]: rare (green)
[Level]: 11
【Attack Power】: 50~65
[Defense Power]: 40 (Carapace 55)

【Soldier Ant】

[Quality]: excellent (blue)

[Level]: 15
【Attack Power】: 70~95
[Defense Power]: 60 (Carapace 75)

【Queen】

[Quality]: Excellent BOSS
[Level]: 20
【Attack Power】: 120~180
[Defense Power]: 100
[Introduction]: The leader of the lowest level group in the insect swarm, producing cannon fodder troops for the insect swarm empire.

[Characteristics]: Superborn, with extremely strong fertility, can reproduce the entire ethnic group

Before seeing the attributes, Su Yi still felt a little dignified by the overall combat method of the ant colony.

After reading it, a confident smile appeared on Su Yi's face again.

What a mess, it turns out they are just cannon fodder troops.

What about sophisticated elite monsters?The part protected by the carapace only has a defense of 75, which is still within the attack range of the Skeleton Crossbowman!
Su Yi summoned an elite skeleton crossbowman in his mind. Compared with ordinary troops, elite crossbowmen are bigger and their attack power is increased to 50~150 points.

"The enemy has a sophisticated carapace. Aim a little and try to see how effective the bone arrow is in breaking through the defense."

Su Yi pointed to a advancing soldier ant and ordered.

The elite skeleton crossbowman randomly pulled the trigger, and the bone arrow flew out, hitting the target like a meteor falling to the ground.

boom!
call out----

The thrown bone arrow instantly crossed 50 meters and hit the tail of a running soldier ant.

"Chichi——"

The hard carapace was punctured by bone arrows, the pierced abdominal pouch exploded like a balloon, and acid splashed onto the surrounding similar bodies.

The power of the bone arrow that shot through the target remained undiminished, and it went straight into the ground for half an inch, and was quickly corroded and melted by the acid.

zizi——

The bodies of several worker ants were corroded, and they bumped into each other in panic, their small eyes rolling around, unable to understand how the same kind would die suddenly.

This arrow gave Su Yi great confidence.

Seeing the chaos in the ant colony, the originally tense mood instantly relaxed.

It is true that worker ants and soldier ants have carapaces to provide protection and cover the limbs.

But their six legs, heads, and pincers are still exposed.

After testing the physical strength of the monster, Su Yi came to a conclusion.

There is no need for elite shooting skills. As long as ordinary crossbowmen have enough firepower, they can shoot at weak points to eliminate the enemy.

In order to ensure the effective killing distance, the crossbowman array has been standing still, allowing the army of ant colonies to advance to only 30 meters away from the city wall.

From this distance, Su Yi could already see the fangs in the mouthparts of the vanguard soldier ants with the naked eye.

30 meters is also the best output range for skeleton crossbowmen.

Following an order, the crossbow machine position that had been waiting for a long time began to roar.

"Fire in batches to ensure seamless output!"

Twenty thousand crossbowmen were separated behind the shooting holes on the ten-meter-high wall. They were divided into two groups and took turns shooting according to the refresh interval of the quiver.

Tens of thousands of crossbow machines roared simultaneously, and the scene was so majestic that it could only be described as violent.

Thousands of arrows were fired, and the moonlight had just sent away the dark clouds, but in a blink of an eye it was blocked by the arrow rain again.

The densely packed bone arrows formed the raindrops of death, overwhelmingly leaning on the ant colony.

Da da da da da———

Puff puff puff puff———

There were continuous cracking sounds.

An [elite] soldier ant was raising its pincers to show off its power, and was hit by hundreds of bone arrows in an instant.

The two-meter-long body was shattered by the strength of the bone arrow, and the fragments of the broken limbs were nailed to the ground without even a scream.

Except for the exploding acid and bone arrows all over the ground, the soldier ants did not leave any traces, and were directly crushed in the arrow rain!

"A second-tier elite monster is nothing more than that!"

Su Yi looked at a few soldier ants curled up and trying to lean on their carapaces and sneered: "It's amazing to have a bulletproof vest? I can't kill you with my ten thousand Gatlings!"
