It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Ella stood behind the city wall and stared at the scene in front of her. She hovered her hand over the crystal ball and murmured something to record the scene of the battle.

This is the task entrusted to her by the earl, and it is related to the next plan.

Chapter 43 Villains

The image of the crystal ball was projected onto the area designated by the earl, and in the prison, the jailers gathered strong barbarian slaves and severe prisoners in the square.

Another crystal ball is projecting the scene on the battlefield in the center of the square:

These monsters are not blindly climbing up by instinct, they are more like a well-trained army than unintelligent beasts.

Under the rain of arrows and artillery fire, the spider swarm kept hitting the city gate, cutting it with sharp claws and front claws.

Another Centurion was supported behind the city gate with a tower shield, and every impact was accompanied by dust and a slight shake.Rin Dong's city walls are not made of wood, but made of a few feet thick bronze mixed with special ores.Although the sharp claws of the cold spider can leave scratches on it, it is not easy to pierce the city gate.

The archers on top of the city wall kept shooting at the bottom. Near the city gate was the densest place of the Cold Spiders. They didn't even need to aim, but it was difficult for arrows to penetrate the carapace on their backs, and falling rocks and rolling oil could cause considerable damage. .

It was difficult for swords to cause fatal damage to the cold spiders, and the foot knights led by the earl mostly slashed their limbs on the city wall or pushed the cold spiders off the city wall with shields.

Only the battles of the two were completely different. Mitlan's epee was more like a warhammer, every time it swung it could cut off limbs or dent the carapace, even if it couldn't be cut completely, it was still deadly.

And Ashley used the rapier to bypass the cold spider's carapace, piercing into their eyeballs and soft abdomen, and sometimes cutting off the fragile joints of the arthropods from behind.

But despite this, there will still be cold spiders climbing up the city wall. Once the advantage in distance is lost, the weakness of the human defenders will be exposed instantly.

The spear-like chelicerae easily pierced through the archer's mail armor, lifted them up into the air with screams, and tore them open like water sacs. Hot blood and internal organs instantly covered the monster's whole body!The blood-stained cold spider let out an ear-piercing shriek, and its compound eyes shone with lights of strange frequencies. Immediately afterwards, its complex mouth structure, which was composed of dozens of finely broken bones and muscle tissues, underwent a certain transformation. It let out a chilling laugh in the voice of a human child.

Suddenly, dozens of soldiers around him fell into a daze due to fear!

An angry roar rose into the sky, and the earl slammed the cold spider into the ground with a heavy vertical slash. Cracks were formed in the solid city brick passage due to the huge force, and the cold spider's carapace was completely dented, which was relatively soft. His body was more like being hit by a shell, completely shattered like a ripe fruit!

"If you don't want to die, move!"

The archers returned to the female wall one after another, pulling the bowstring with their numb fingers, and the arrow rain once again covered the area in front of the city gate.

There was a vibration from the ground, and something even bigger loomed among the spiders. It was a white figure with abnormally long limbs, and it looked like a severely decomposed corpse soaked in water.

They were at least twenty feet high, and every step kicked up snow and dust on the ground.Giants carry thick trees or rocks, they are natural siege machines, and a single individual is enough to pose a huge threat to a solid city gate!And there are more than ten giants appearing in the spider group!

"That's the Gogo giant! Hold on to the fort, and focus all the shells on them!"

The earl shouted, while ducking to avoid the cold spider's attack, he thrust his long sword into the belly of the insect from the side, and used the power of his body rotation to drive the sword blade to cut it open completely.He raised his foot and lifted the monster's huge body off the city wall, and smashed to death another cold spider that was climbing onto the spider web.

The infantry knights no longer cared about other things, and formed a defensive line on the sub-wall where the turret was located. One of the giants put a stone the size of a table on his shoulder, and then threw it vigorously. The defenders were smashed to pieces!

"Prepare for shelling, focus on shooting, let go!"

Several heavy armored soldiers with hammers smashed the ore fiercely, and several beams of light gushed out, turning the area where the stone-throwing Gogo giant was located into a sea of ​​flames!

The cold spiders who had already boarded the city wall through the spider web bridge changed their targets one after another, instead of slaughtering the surrounding soldiers, they rushed towards the spar cannon!

The infantry knights collided head-on with the monster. The knights in plate armor and holding tower shields stood outside. Their eyes were bloodshot and their faces turned red, and they withstood the monster's first wave of charge!The sharp forelimbs of the cold spider pierced through the tower shield, hitting their bodies, and the broken joints were broken into the flesh and bones.While the fighting would go on, it was almost impossible for these wounded knights to survive.

The knight holding the spear stabs the spear from the shoulder of his comrades. They may not be able to penetrate the defense of the carapace, but there are always a few that can cover the parts that the carapace cannot defend.

"push!"

Twelve-foot-long iron spears are not something that knights can wield in foot combat. Only two knights can hold them up, fly monsters upward, and finish the kill under the cover of the flesh and blood of their comrades.

-

In the square of the prison, the slaves and prisoners fell into a dead silence. Under their puzzled eyes, Lily stepped onto the high platform and signaled the guards to throw bundles of weapons and armor on the ground.

She cleared her throat, and with Ella's preparation, Lily's voice was amplified by magic, enough to reach every corner of the square.Ella believes that there is some kind of special magic in her voice, which is a trait shown when encountering wolves. Perhaps it is the factor of hybridity or a special talent innate with the gods.

Lily Bell doesn't think this is a great ability, and she has some doubts about whether it can really work.But now, without a doubt, it was something only she could do.

Inspiration didn't give any hints, so he took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart.Lily said:

"You are slaves, villains, and heinous death row prisoners! You used to be defenders, and you are also enemies of the people in the city! Maybe you don't like these words, but it doesn't matter! I don't like you either!"

The men gathered in the square were whispering, or obscenely laughing and swearing.

"but now!"

Lily's voice drowned out all the noise.

"Your enemies are guarding this city, and when they die, you will also be slaughtered by these disgusting monsters like maggots! No one will be spared."

"You have a chance to choose, pick up the sword on the ground! You may die, but the survivors will be free after the battle, and even stay in the army to become a regular army! This is me, the daughter of Mitland Bell, A promise from Lily Bell!"

"Freedom or waiting to die, I cannot force you—"

Her throat began to tingle, and the assistance provided by the magic power had reached its limit, and she shouted in her own voice.

"But if you are men, make the right choice!"

The guards freed all bonds and thrust weapons into the hands of every prisoner and slave.

The square fell into dead silence, and Lily secretly squeezed her palms tightly.Cold sweat began to soak clothes.

In front of her were hundreds of thugs in armor and swords, who could easily kill all the guards present, including herself!

Finally, the unbearable silence was broken.

A strong, bald prisoner stepped forward and spat.

"The previous ones are all nonsense, only the last sentence is interesting. Count me in and kill those stinking bugs!"

Chapter 45 A brief victory

With the prolongation of the fighting time, the number of defenders continued to decline, and the gap between the number of soldiers defending the city and the number of cold spiders became more obvious.

More monsters climbed to the top of the city, and the formation of the defenders was divided.The infantry knights who were originally in charge of support needed to defend the crystal cannon.In this attack by the spider group, there were more giants than the day before, and at least a dozen rounds of shooting were needed to ensure the safety of the city gate.

Ella, who has recovered a certain amount of magic power, has already joined the battle, but now she cannot play a decisive role in a battle of this scale.

In this situation, Ella had the idea of ​​praying to Yafum, but before the first syllable was uttered, a strong premonition of danger emerged without warning, which even caused her body to freeze briefly. .

Ayla narrowly dodges a strand of spider silk and reaches forward with her right hand, creating a smoky spear of crystals suspended in mid-air.The crystal spear shot out, piercing through the abdomen of the cold spider that couldn't adjust its posture because of the spider silk, and the black smoke instantly corroded its chest cavity and glands. "Obsidian Spear" is the magic that the shadow used once. Ayla adjusted the magic power output of the spell. Spiders deal fatal damage.

Ella has now completely given up the idea of ​​using the prayer ceremony, and her intuition tells her that the consequences of that strange feeling may be more terrifying than the cold spider swarm.

The battle line on the hillside has received the most ferocious impact, and the golden charm that symbolizes the flame has been exhausted in the long and fierce battle.The dark blue water patterns kept appearing and disillusioned after the horse was rejected. Earl Mitland used most of the old deep sea seals on the hillside front, except for the part used to protect the spar cannon, and even the part originally allocated to the commander. Focus here.

But despite this, the battle line is still difficult to maintain, lacking the cover of the city wall, the spider silk that is more powerful than the crossbow arrows will gradually form water marks around the soldiers' bodies every time, and the power of the old seal is rapidly being consumed. The halo is also gradually dimming and finally shattered and disillusioned.

So the battle returned to the normal state of one night ago, and the soldiers used flesh and blood and crude horses to form an iron-cast defense.

Mitlan cut off the claws of a cold spider, and reached out to wipe off the blood that covered his sight. It was the enemy's, his comrade's, or his own, and the earl couldn't tell.

"Chevalier, are you still alive? What time is it!"

Ashley's rapier had been broken. She pulled an ax spear and stabbed it into the monster's soft flank from an awkward angle, but the strength and aim of her gun were not enough, and this shot did not bring any pain. fatal injury.

She frowned slightly, flipped the blade of the spear and the ax flew upwards, and continued to expand the wound.The frantic struggle of the cold spider broke the shaft of the ax gun. Ashley threw away the ax gun casually, and lifted the honor flag on the tip of the snowflake gun from the ground with his feet.

"It's only been two hours, Your Excellency! The number of cold spiders seems to have decreased."

Midland glanced at the dense lavender tide under the city wall, spit out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and half a tooth, and cursed with a smile:

"Bah! Could it be that Lao Tzu's eyes are blind? This hasn't decreased at all."

The number of infantry knights has been reduced to half, and the ground is full of scattered corpses. Behind the group of cold spiders is the kind of monster made of corpses with a profane appearance. The long and tall jointed limbs dragged the remains of soldiers or cold spiders away from the battlefield.

As for the fate of those corpses, the spider cocoons in Junkos City and the appearance of these monsters can already explain everything.Such an ending would be unglamorous for warriors, whose corpses would mingle with the remains of monsters and return to the hellish battlefield in a desecrated, unrecognizable gesture.

Ayla first tried to burn the corpse with flames, but under the circumstances, every drop of magic was precious.It was a meaningless waste, if the castle could not be defended, the whole life of Ling Dong would be like this.

Ashley's physical strength has reached its limit. She feels that she may fall down at any time, but her body continues to wield the weapon instinctively. She doesn't know how long this state can last, maybe an hour, maybe just the next One second.

-

"charge!"

At this time, a clear sound was like the wind blowing away the heavy clouds, like a sword pulling away from its dark sheath, and like water washing away the muddy earth.

Accompanied by the girl's magical cry, the figures of the men appeared under the city wall, and their ranks looked a little messy, and they didn't look like regular troops.More than half of the soldiers had darker skin, prominent cheekbones, and tall stature, the typical appearance and physique of nomads on the tundra.

Their equipment is not uniform, it is not the standard iron armor of the winter knights, the warriors wear chain armor, leather or even cotton armor.

The girl was riding a black and rotten monster. It stood up like a horse, let out a hoarse roar like iron plates rubbing against each other, then lightly raised its limbs, ran up and got off the ground!It opened its giant claws to grab a cold spider and threw it down the city wall. Byakhee's ability to fight head-on may not be better than that of an adult cold spider, but the latter's huge size and weight will cause fatal damage to itself in this terrain. harm.

"Don't get left behind by the pussies, you bloody bastards!"

Following her was a tall warrior, who threw his helmet on the ground casually, revealing a bald head that was more shiny than the reflective iron helmet. The warriors showed ferocious expressions, roared and followed behind the former, vomiting some unbearable words. Dirty words in the ear.

This was a group of eight hundred people composed of prison villains and thugs. This new force quickly occupied various areas of the outer wall, drastically reducing the pressure on the defenders!

The spar cannon roared again, and a soldier could no longer support the huge momentum, and was thrown upside down by the shock, opening his mouth to spit out dirty blood mixed with internal organ fragments.But the light beam covered the last Guge giant at this moment, and the abnormally long humanoid monster was steamed into bones under the light beam!

Ella squeezed out the little magic power left, and killed the fighting monsters with the Flesh Withering Curse.The environment around her became quiet, and she looked around in a daze, but she couldn't find the next target.

The flesh-and-blood monsters dragged the corpses away from the city wall with agility.

"We... hold it?"

No one could answer her. The outer wall area where Ella was located was breached half an hour ago, and there were hardly many survivors left except her.

The surviving soldiers on the castle supported each other and looked down at the city. The lavender tide was receding - but no one had the energy to cheer.

Chapter 46 A Moment of Peace (plus more)

"Sergeant! Take a count, Sergeant—"

The earl habitually yelled twice, but the young sergeant did not respond as usual. He had been in charge of this task after the heraldry officer died in battle.

Mitran was about to speak again, but he seemed to suddenly realize something and stopped his voice.He looked around the city wall, and saw that people were sparsely distributed in various posts and important places.

There is no need for someone to make a special count, the number of survivors will not exceed half of the original number, and he does not want to know the exact number for the time being.
