Chapter 437 Night battle in the capital, blood beast!
When~when~when~
Woo~woo~woo~
On a high tower on the inside of the city wall, the warning guard used all his strength to keep ringing the alarm bell on one side.
In another tall tower opposite, another soldier raised his siren, took a sharp breath, and blew the horn to warn that the capital was under attack.
Immediately afterwards, in other guard towers inside the capital, following the sound of alarm bells and horns, one by one, the entire capital was awakened.
All four city walls came under attack. The resting guards quickly gathered from the temporary camps in the city, and under the leadership of the general, supported the four city gates respectively!
In the central palace, the alarm of an incoming enemy attack was also heard. The guards were in full array and kept tense.
Plop~plop~plop~plop~
Tick...tick~
Amidst the continuous pounding of raindrops, the guards vaguely heard the sound of wind blowing from far to near, which seemed to come from above.
The leading witchcraft warriors signaled the guards to stay on guard, and jumped to the heights of the palace one after another to guard against the enemies who had not yet revealed themselves.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh
Bang~bang~bang~
Three flares were shot into the night sky almost simultaneously, and exploded into three diffuse masses of light, illuminating the dark night.
"Then...what is that?!"
"Something...is flying over!"
Several witchcraft warriors standing high up looked solemnly at the aerial monster in the sky that was about to fly to the palace.
It looks like a big bird, dozens of meters long, but it doesn't have the feathers of a bird. Instead, it is covered in wrinkled blood-red skin, and you can even feel its huge skeleton.
On both sides of the body, there are more than ten disgusting mouthparts crawling, and when turned inside and outside, a few fangs are exposed.
Gu~squeak~... Gu~squeak~
More than a dozen mouthparts opened continuously, spitting out bloody meat balls.
"Archers prepare, hurry!"
A witchcraft warrior, who should be the general guarding the palace, gave a loud order, and several teams of archers reacted quickly, shifted their figures, loaded their bows with arrows, and aimed at the meat balls smashed in the air.
"put!"
Phew... Phew~~~
Hundreds of sharp steel arrows were fired at dozens of blood-red meat balls falling in mid-air!
Gu~hiss~squeak~......
Gaps appeared on the surface of the blood-red flesh mass in mid-air and expanded rapidly. Two sharp claws and thick legs and feet expanded from the flesh mass, with sharp bone barbs on the backs of the feet.
Finally, the skin was broken open from the blood-red body spread out by the flesh, and a monster head that was neither human nor ghost came out.
He opened his mouth, revealing a mixture of saliva and blood.
These humanoid fanged monsters are about half a head taller than the average human, with well-developed muscles and red eyes.
When...when~
A pair of sharp claws, extremely hard, waved in front of him at extremely fast speeds, blocking the densely packed fine steel arrows one by one.
boom!boom! ...boom!
Monsters fell from the sky one after another, some smashed the walls, some cracked the ground, and some... directly smashed the flesh and blood of the unlucky soldiers!
"Everyone, guard the palace!"
The general shouted loudly, and personally dragged the sword in his hand and rushed towards the fanged blood beast that was rushing towards him!
Several witch warriors and shield soldiers set up a shield formation on the path where the fanged blood beasts were attacking, blocking the momentum of dozens of blood beasts on the ground.
Several other witchcraft warriors led the flexible soldiers to climb up the buildings on both sides to stop the blood beasts that were crawling quickly on the wall.
Several teams of archers behind the soldiers, led by their respective captains, moved to high places, loaded their bows with arrows again, and fired diamond sharp arrows at the blood beasts outside. They cooperated with the close combat soldiers and injured many blood beasts.
At the same time, the casualties of the melee soldiers were several times that of the blood beasts. They fell under the opponent's claws and were even disemboweled and their remaining limbs were flying around!
Thump~thump~...thump~thump~
The huge blood bird beast in the night sky completed its turn from a short distance away and flew back again.
"It's coming!"
"Be careful Dajue!"
"Come back again? Archers, shoot it down quickly. If another group of monsters are thrown down, we may not be able to contain it!"
Several soldiers panicked and shouted in panic.
The archers naturally discovered the return of the giant blood bird beast. They had already shifted their attack targets and continuously shot sharp arrows into the night sky, but their power was limited due to the distance.
Apart from some puncture wounds, no effective damage was caused!
Gu~huh~...Gu~huh~
This time, the giant blood bird beast did not spit out another wave of blood-colored meat balls, but sprayed out a large number of bone spikes from more smaller mouthparts, and shot them towards several archer troops!
Boom...boom...
bark... bark...
A large number of bone spikes penetrated into the building, the ground, and the bodies of the archers. Nearly a hundred archers were nailed directly to the ground and walls. They vomited blood and died one after another.
The giant bird-like beast had the advantage in the air. In just two rounds, it crippled the archers guarding the palace, leaving the melee soldiers struggling to hold on.
Several figures ran out of the palace and rushed to the archers' position to rescue the injured archers.
They are a group of witchcraft priests who know some medical ninjutsu and are trying their best to treat the wounded.
In the palace, little Ziyuan looked outside with a horrified look on her face, holding her mother's arm tightly with both hands.
Maitreya looked outside the palace solemnly, with mixed feelings in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
Her power cannot directly cause damage or directly kill other creatures, but can only suppress the other dark side of the witch.
Maitreya felt some regret, because he was worried that power would bring uncontrollable desires to human beings, thus bringing about war and oppression;
She limited the inheritance of witchcraft power to a small number of humans, and the intensity of witchcraft power was diluted by it, allowing humans to spend less effort in building their homes;
But I never considered how to face such a war situation!
[I have never seen this kind of creature before. Is it caused by its dark power invading humans?Strange, why didn't it send out its undead army?And... based on these... it is impossible to break through the palace and kill Shion and me. 】
After the enemy attacked for a while, Maitreya became less panicked and more confused.
These fanged blood beasts may be able to cause a lot of damage to the guards, but they will be wiped out sooner or later, and they will not even be able to enter the palace.
Moreover, Maitreya did not sense the power aura of Dark Maitreya, indicating that the other party was not involved.
Just as Maitreya was deep in thought, the guard fired several flares again, and the huge blood bird beast in the night sky was about to complete its spin again and release its next round of attacks.
The scattered archer troops in front of the palace did not bother to rest and hurriedly reorganized their troops to adjust their bodies and prepare for another attack.
Phew~~~hiss~~~
Suddenly, a crimson energy arrow shot out from the darkness outside the palace, directly piercing one of the wings of the huge blood bird beast at a speed far exceeding that of an arrow fired by an ordinary archer.
