Chapter 134 Monster Army (Fifth update, please subscribe)
“Soth! These monsters have obtained a large number of weapons and armor by plundering villages, towns and caravans around Mylatma.
They are no longer ordinary robbers
but a group of evil forces that can threaten the safety of the city and ordinary people
Whether it is for the safety of the caravan. To protect those innocent civilians, we all must take action.
I know you don't want to get into too much trouble, but please don't sit back and let evil expand this time.
Otherwise, countless people will die because of this. ”
Elloline stood in front of Zuo Si with a serious face and stated her interests.
Obviously, through the short battle just now, she had realized that relying on her poor combat skills alone , let alone deal with an adult red dragon that controls an army of tens of thousands of monsters, even those large groups of goblins that were easily slaughtered by the Shadow Legion can't defeat it.
If you want to resolve this crisis, you have to do it. We must rely on the power of Zuo Si.
Whether it is the terrifying shadow army that is already huge, or the terrifying spellcasting ability that cannot be guessed according to common sense, it can launch a fatal blow to an army of monsters numbering tens of thousands.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the young paladin, Zuo Si pretended to think for a few minutes and then nodded quickly: "What you said makes sense. Given the current bad situation, I have indeed been There is no way to sit idly by. In this case, let’s simply kill these complete monsters.”
“Huh? You agreed!”
Elloline opened her mouth. , his face was full of incredible surprise.
She simply couldn't believe that someone like Zuo Si, who had a mature mind that was not commensurate with his age, would be easily persuaded by her with just a few words.
"Why not?"
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders, touched his chin and explained: "After all, I am not a devil, and I am willing to do good things occasionally.
Plus The threat of this monster army is visible to the naked eye.
If they are not cleared away, it will be almost impossible for a caravan to pass through Mailatma safely.
And I am also looking forward to what kind of reward the Lord of Mylatma will offer to solve this crisis.”
"Then what are you going to do?" Ailuolin asked impatiently.
"It's very simple! I need to first figure out the situation on the other side of the Is River."
Speaking of this, Zuo Si immediately took out a creature card and chose to pay the magic power without hesitation Make a summons.
In an instant!
A large manticore with a body length of more than three meters and a weight of nearly half a ton appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
Especially those slaves and civilians who had just been frightened. After seeing this terrifying monster, they subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.
But he was quickly intercepted by mercenaries who had seen a little bit of the world.
You can’t blame them for being timid. The appearance of this toy is really too scary and scary.
Even Zuo Si, who was mentally prepared, was obviously taken aback.
Especially the ogre-like face that seemed to have been skinned, and the big mouth filled with at least three rows of sharp fangs. Anyone who saw it would involuntarily feel uncomfortable.
Coupled with the dense spikes on the tail that look like steel needles, it will definitely kill patients with trypophobia on the spot.
"Ah! I smell the taste of plasma, death and delicious fresh meat."
As soon as it was summoned, the manticore stared at the corpses of the dead monsters around it and began to bleed. saliva.
As a typical evil magical creature, although its IQ is not high, it has the most basic ability to speak.
But Zuo Si ignored the manticore's desire for flesh and blood, and directly cast a two-ring prophecy magic [Visual Connection] to connect the vision of the summoned creature with himself.
After the spell began to take effect, he immediately ordered: "You now fly over the river in front of you and make a large circle north along the edge of the city on the other side of the river. Remember, try not to be discovered by too many people." "If You wish!”
Although the manticore, which did not have permission to eat, seemed a little reluctant, it still chose to carry out the order honestly.
In the blink of an eye, it flapped the huge wings on its back and soared into the sky, quickly turning into an inconspicuous black dot.
Zuo Si himself sat motionless on the carriage, observing the situation on the ground through the manticore's perspective.
With his superb flight speed and skill, it didn't take long for the big guy to cross the large river in front of him that ran horizontally through the entire Kingdom of Tethyr, and saw a city standing at the mouth of the river and surrounded by towering walls.
There is no doubt that this is Mailatma, the southernmost border city of the Kingdom of Tethyr.
It was once part of the ancient dwarven kingdom of Shanatar, but was later conquered and occupied by the rising Calishites.
It is said that the intricate tunnels and many treasures left by the dwarves are still preserved underground.
Mailatma looks no different from Memnon in the south, and most of the buildings still retain the style of the Shane Dynasty.
Regardless of the round arched spire design or the three-story stone buildings on both sides of the street, they all give people the illusion that it should be part of Calimshan.
Normally speaking, as an important hub and transit station for border trade, this place should be very busy and lively.
Through the perspective of the manticore, Zuo Si discovered that there was not even a single person on the streets of the entire city.
Only the city walls and gates were filled with heavily armed soldiers.
No!
To be precise, they should be young and middle-aged civilians who were temporarily recruited.
Although these people were wearing old-looking leather armor and holding weapons such as spears, scimitars and crossbows.
But it is not difficult to tell from their frightened expressions and trembling reactions that most of them have not received military training.
Only under the supervision and urging of some officers and veterans, they were forced to come to the city wall to defend the city at their feet.
After all, the previous proactive attack had caused Mailatma to lose almost two-thirds of its troops.
The originally active adventurers, mercenaries, and major temples also suffered devastating blows.
Right now, apart from nationwide mobilization, the local lords should have no other options.
Beyond the city walls, there are thousands of goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, orcs, half-orcs, gnolls, ogres, half-giants, wargs, lizardmen, snakemen, and more. There were many animals controlled by magic, which surrounded the city.
The hobgoblins, who are proficient in the art of war, are even directing the cannon fodder goblins and captured humans to cut down trees and do their best to build various siege equipment.
In the open space at the rear, you can clearly see at least four large siege towers, a battering ram, as well as seven or eight rough and crude stone throwers and a large number of ladders.
No doubt about it!
This is a real army of monsters, not the bandits we encountered before who only knew how to rob but had no ability to attack fortresses.
Once they start to launch a general attack, with Mailatma's current strength and personnel quality, it is basically impossible to stop them.
At most, relying on the city walls, arrow towers and priests from major temples, plus the few mages and warlocks left in the city, they could barely resist for a few days.
It is only a matter of time before it falls.
Coupled with the large amounts of food, steel, weapons, armor and other materials obtained through robbery, this huge monster army has no shortage of logistical supplies.
The arcane casters among the snakemen and the priests among the orcs perfectly make up for the lack of spellcasters.
No wonder the defenders of Memnon believed that Mylatmar might be conquered and occupied at any time.
But what Zuo Si couldn't understand was how on earth Wilmes brought so many different types of monsters together?
Then it can also ensure that they will not break out into civil strife, but instead be as disciplined as an evil and lawful army?
