I am a god in another world

Chapter 609 Battle for the Bridge of Gods and Humans

Each building-style chariot is equipped with a heavy crossbow chariot at the front and rear. The crossbow turret can rotate 360 ​​degrees, without any blind spots for attack. Their equipment makes the building-style chariot worthy of its name.

The crossbow arrows fired by these heavy crossbow chariots are all as thick as an adult's arm and up to three and a half meters long. They are absolutely giant. After hitting the stone wall, they do not bounce off or collapse, but easily penetrate more than ten centimeters. Some trees as thick as waists can be directly penetrated after being shot.

This is the case with dead objects, not to mention those flesh and blood bodies.

Those heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor can still string people and horses together after breaking the magic shield. If the infantry in groups are in a perfect position, it is not difficult to make a string of human gourds.

Even the huge waves rolled up by the Lizard Queen could not prevent the piercing of the heavy crossbow arrows. Hundreds of blood flowers bloomed in the huge waves, and soon the entire wave crest was dyed blood red. Hundreds of corpses floated up and were carried forward by the huge waves.

Most of these corpses were not lizardmen, but short and thick humanoid creatures with green skin and huge frog heads. This is another common intelligent monster race in the swamp, the Mad Frogmen. They are nicknamed swamp goblins by some people because their racial character has many similarities with goblins, such as hunger and evil to the bones, sadistic habits, and they like to suppress the enemy with overwhelming numbers, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

This is closely related to their super fertility. Just like frogs, they are born through eggs and have a lot of them in their lifetime, but their tadpoles are much larger than ordinary frogs. They can eat everything from insects, small fish and shrimps, grass and tree roots, etc. The swamp is their paradise for reproduction.

Every swamp will be covered by huge frog calls at night, which are made by them.

However, it is very rare for them to be the masters of the swamp. Most of them are vassal servants of other amphibious intelligent creatures. This is determined by their low IQ. In this respect, they are the same as goblins and kobolds. The average intelligence of the race is 7 or 8 points. They are not stupid but not smart.

In the Lizard King's Court of Thun Swamp, they also exist as cannon fodder servants. Naturally, they charge at the front line and become the victims of the first large-scale use of the heavy crossbows of the Conqueror Army.

"Everyone finds shelter nearby, stands firm and holds on to the impact of the flood." The middle and high-level leaders of the Conqueror Army shouted loudly at the same time.

They don't need their orders at all. Facing the surging flood, everyone instinctively does so.

The inertia of the terrain and the conscious manipulation of magic made the flood reach an extreme. The crossbow on the building chariot only had time to use its power once, and the flood was already close at hand, hitting the bridge of man and god heavily.

The flood stirred up by the Lizard Queen was extraordinary. The conqueror army migrated from top to bottom with the idea and desire for victory. The bridge of man and god built together with the god of road, Shan Dakor, was also extraordinary. It was fully embedded in the surrounding terrain. Its length was not 500 meters, but twice as wide as the river.

As mentioned before, the direction of the Border River was completely sandwiched by the Storm Horn Mountains and the underground remnants of the Gray Observer, which meant that this was the lowest point of the entire Goblin Border. It was also one of the reasons why the Lizard Queen could easily stir up more than ten meters of flood water to surround her army. The Border River was a gully that went deep into the ground for more than ten meters or even dozens of meters.

The extended bridge deck directly lifted the bridge of man and god to both sides. It looked like it was only flush with the ground, but it was actually more than ten meters above the river surface.

Doing so can not only make the road surface smooth and easier to pass, but also avoid floods.

The only drawback is that it will increase the cost of bridge construction, which is the last thing the bridge of man and god needs to consider.

Therefore, the deck of the Bridge of Gods and the peak of the huge waves stirred by the Lizard Queen are basically level.

Bang!

Quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. When the extremely yin and soft water gather together and the volume is large enough, the power it exerts is also terrible.

When the huge waves hit the Bridge of Gods, it was like an earthquake.

Not only the Bridge of Gods and the people on it were shaking, but also the ground on both sides of the Bridge of Gods and Man were shaking, and even cracks appeared. That situation was very much like the Bridge of Gods and Man was not isolated, but was closely connected with the ground on both sides, especially the direction when the conqueror army came. The conqueror road they had just opened up was like a huge invisible chain, firmly pulling the Bridge of Gods and Man. On the contrary, the other side, because there was no road, seemed much thinner. Only the pioneers who crossed the bridge first were like a big nail, firmly fixed there.

As a bridge of faith and belief, the Bridge of Man and God has become an excellent defensive weapon in the hands of the conquerors. Their faith and belief will provide continuous blessing to the Bridge of Man and God. If you want to truly destroy this bridge, you must first destroy the overall will of the conquerors. When people face a life-threatening crisis, even ordinary people can burst out with an unimaginable desire to survive, which can also be regarded as a kind of faith and belief.

Therefore, under the beating of the huge waves and flood peaks, the Bridge of Man and God not only showed no signs of collapse and damage, but on the contrary became thicker and stronger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After the most terrifying first wave of impact of the huge waves and flood peaks, it was not completely over, followed by dense collisions.

This huge wave carried a lot of floating objects such as logs and water plants along the way, which naturally became the most natural siege equipment, hitting the bridge wall of the Bridge of Gods and Humans continuously.

At this moment, everyone was grateful to Sandakol for his help. Thanks to his foresight, the Bridge of Gods and Humans was designed so uniquely. If there was no thick bridge wall to protect it, this wave alone would cause terrible damage to the conqueror army. Even their building-type chariots could not withstand the impact of such flood objects, let alone ordinary people. They would be swept away from the bridge by the flood. Once they fell into the flood, what kind of tragic scene would be waiting for them? Even if they were not drowned alive, they would be harvested by the army of amphibious monsters in the flood and become their food.

But only a few people know that they should be grateful not to the God of Roads, but to Gavin, the Supreme Commander of the Conqueror Army, for his foresight, because he was the leading designer of the bridge, and the helping hand was just an actual builder.

In these collisions, there were sometimes some flesh and blood bodies, those monster soldiers who were swept by the flood and had no time to change lanes. Even if they were not beaten into meat patties on the spot, at least their bones were broken and their heads were bleeding. If these unlucky guys directly hit the bridge pillars below, their chances of survival would be even smaller, and it would not be uncommon to be cut in half.

More monster soldiers took advantage of the momentum of the flood peak and jumped directly from the water before colliding with the Bridge of Gods and Humans, crossed the bridge wall and appeared directly on the bridge deck. Most of them were crazy frogmen with short limbs, big heads and thick necks, and green bodies, which looked like frogs standing up.

They wore simple animal skin armor, which was more like an animal skin with a hole in the middle than a piece of clothing armor, and then tied to their waists with a rough water grass rope. They held short spears in their hands, which looked like javelins. Not many of the spear tips were made of metal, but most of them were sharpened stones.

As cannon fodder, it was rare to find such miserable people as these crazy frogmen. Faerun is relatively rich in resources. Wherever there are mountains, there are usually various metal mines, especially iron mines. In addition, trade is relatively developed, and many goblins have one or two low-quality iron tools in their hands. No one uses stone weapons.

The behavior of these crazy frogmen in the Lizard King's Court is related to their living environment, and their own business management philosophy is definitely problematic.

In addition to these crazy frogmen, there are also a small number of black-scaled lizardmen. They look like skulls, with the scales on their heads fully opened, shaking constantly with roars, and congestion dyed them blood red, indicating that the owner is highly angry and nervous. These scales also have the function of conveying personal feelings to these lizardmen.

Their attire was even simpler, with only combat straps and combat belts, on which were inserted six or seven javelins. These javelins were thick and long. In their hands, they were javelins, but in the hands of ordinary people, they were just like spears. They were equipped with iron spear heads, but both the workmanship and the materials were very rough. It was obvious at a glance that they were not made by humans or dwarves, but by those monsters, most likely goblins.

But no one dared to underestimate their power, because their holders were tall and burly, with exaggerated muscles all over their bodies. Even an ordinary wooden stick could exert a powerful killing power in their hands.

The premise was that they could find the enemy. These climbers waited until they jumped onto the Bridge of Gods and Humans before they found that this place had been turned into a huge maze by the staggered chariots. The armed immigrants of the Conqueror Army were huddled behind the chariots. Before they landed completely, dense arrows had already shot at them.

The two sides adopted different countermeasures. After landing, the Madwugs did not stay in place, but took advantage of the downward force to bounce up directly, and in a flash, they directly passed over the four-and-a-half-meter-high and three-meter-wide real estate chariots and fell to the place where the armed immigrants were most densely concentrated.

The hind legs of these Madwugs are 70% to 80% similar to those of frogs, and are extremely strong. The muscles on them are the most developed part of the body. Their jumping ability is comparable to that of the half-giant Goliath. This is closely related to their unique living environment and their innate unique structure.

"Back off!" Several agile figures rushed towards the Madwugs who broke through the first line of defense from all directions.

They were a guard team composed of young and strong people in the team led by the first-line commander of the armed immigrants' 100-man brigade, in order to deal with this kind of enemy intrusion, while the armed immigrants retreated like a tide, panicking but not chaotic. They retreated to the tower-type chariots, leaned their backs against them, and replaced the crossbows in their hands with spears. With their archery skills, they dared not easily shoot arrows in such a melee where people and enemies were intertwined, and it was easy to shoot by mistake.

The Kingdom of Tesser has been through wars in the past half century, and militia training is very popular. Many children often learn to pick up wooden swords for training instead of knives and forks for eating. This is their necessary means of self-protection and survival. The migration road of thousands of kilometers and more than a month of walking and practicing have already fully armed them, both physically and mentally.

"Spears! Stab!" These close combat personnel only restrained the intruding enemies, and they were not fighting alone.

With an order, countless spears stabbed out from all directions.

These spears are not just from the armed immigrants pushed to the side of the building chariots, but also a large part of them are from the building chariots. The surface of these chariots is not empty, but full of fist-sized attack holes, which are enough to accommodate the spears piercing out from the middle.

Due to the internal space of the building chariot, these spears are not completely retracted, but more than half are exposed outside, and only part of them are in the car, so they look like hedgehogs, but the original spear tips are tilted upward to prevent accidental injury to friendly forces, but now they are all flat or tilted downward.

Faced with sieges from all sides, these crazy frogmen who broke in had no room to dodge at all. In desperation, they could only use their extraordinary jumping ability again to prepare to jump out of the encirclement.

However, in doing so, they turned themselves into live targets in the air. The armed immigrant archers who were originally cautious once again pulled the crossbows in their hands and shot the sharp arrows in their hands. Many crazy frogmen turned into blood hedgehogs on the spot and fell heavily from the air. Even if they were not dead, there were still forests of spears waiting for them below, which directly pierced them into sieves.

Seeing the miserable end of the crazy frogmen in front, the crazy frogmen behind them immediately shrank back and dared not jump easily.

"Attack! Attack! All attack!" The black-scaled lizardmen who were hiding in the back and observing the situation waved their javelins in their hands, urging the crazy frogmen to attack the conqueror army again, and at the same time, they looked for the right time and threw the javelins in their hands. From time to time, screams came from the conqueror army, and casualties began to appear in the conqueror army.

Driven by their master, these Madwugs had to bite the bullet and continue to attack the Conqueror Army's chariot formation. The spears sticking out from the tower chariots were still a trouble, but they only had to face one side and didn't have to worry about attacks from all directions.

Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!

More Madwugs crossed the bridge wall and jumped onto the bridge deck, and soon formed a large Madwug Army. The number of black-scaled lizardmen was not large, and those huge evil-toothed lizardmen and black dragon half-dragon lizardmen were not seen.

Now it was only the cannon fodder of the lizard army that rushed up, in order to entangle the Conqueror Army and test their combat effectiveness, and also to entangle the heavy-duty crossbows on the tower chariots. For them, the lethality of this weapon was a bit too strong.

As soon as the flood wave passed, the water level began to drop rapidly. After all, it was not a real flood, but the magic power stirred up by the Lizard Queen with the help of her lizard army. The huge waves reached more than ten meters high, that is, hundreds of meters wide. The remaining water level was not even half of the wave.

This is its disadvantage, but also its advantage, because it can change at will according to the will of the Lizard Queen.

The Lizard Queen once again issued an order to change the front army to the rear army. After the flood wave flowed hundreds of meters, it stopped abruptly, and then went upstream with great momentum, hitting the Bridge of Gods again. However, compared with the last time, both the water flow speed and the height of the flood wave have dropped significantly, and it has not reached the level of the bridge deck of the Bridge of Gods. Even if it is magic, it is also consumed, especially this kind of fierce collision. Even the Lizard Queen has no way to control more water to gather around her at will.

"All crossbow carts, turn around and launch a saturation attack."

These heavy crossbow carts on vehicles have blind spots for attack. Once they are too close to the building-type chariots, they will be helpless. This is the situation of the Madwugs who jumped onto the bridge.

So they simply ignored them and focused on attacking the main body of the lizardmen army in the flood waves.

For a while, the huge bows on the Bridge of Gods continued to vibrate.

Because the flood waves were upstream, and they were weak and exhausted, it was enough for these heavy crossbow carts to shoot one or two more rounds, turning them into real blood. The number of Madwugs and black-scaled lizardmen floating up with white bellies exceeded hundreds.

"All servants, destroy the crossbow carts first!" The Lizard Queen exposed her head and roared angrily.

She didn't feel bad even if many of those crazy frogmen died, but she felt pain every time one of these black-scaled lizardmen died, not only because her blood flowed in their bodies, but also because they were an important part of her power. Whether it was controlling the water, controlling the Thun Swamp in the future, or further expanding the results of the war, these loyal black-scaled lizardmen were needed.

Quack! Quack!

The eyes of the crazy frogmen who received the order on the bridge were red. They were afraid of the lizard queen to the bone and dared not question or disobey her orders at all, because they knew the fate of those who disobeyed. Compared with that fate, death was a relief.

One by one, they launched a jumping attack again and rushed towards the heavy crossbow on the top of the building chariot.

For ordinary people, it is a difficult task to climb onto the four-and-a-half-meter-high building chariot. Even with the help of a ladder, it is a bit troublesome, but for the crazy frogmen, it is just a matter of running and jumping.
