The Styx banshees flew back and forth in the wind and snow, looking unhurried and in no hurry to approach Harrogath.
Upon seeing this, the guards began to secretly strengthen their vigilance on the cliffs on both sides. Beware that these banshees were just deliberately attracting everyone's attention, and the real threat came from other monsters.
About a quarter of an hour later, the banshee flying in front stopped outside the maximum attack range of everyone. It was roughly estimated that there were five or six hundred of them. This number was not worth mentioning compared to the monsters that had charged in groups before. After they dispersed over the east wall, they looked even more scattered.
However, they kept making piercing screams or wanton laughter. Although there were not many in number, they were extremely noisy.
"They are just attracting our attention, but there seems to be no movement on the other walls..." Mo Bei used his binoculars to scan the far wall, but found no guards gathering, and became increasingly confused.
"The two at the back seem to be carrying something." Akali half-squinted her eyes and stared into the distance, then her face turned cold and she uttered two words:
"It's human."
She was not mistaken. The two banshees suddenly rose up after flying close to them, and then swooped to an emergency stop and threw the two human figures on their claws towards the city. They were two frozen corpses.
The two corpses were not blocked by the defensive barrier and were picked up by people at the landing point to prevent them from hitting the masonry ground directly.
The armor worn on the corpse was badly broken, but everyone could still tell that those red lines were unique to Ernstinger's standard armor.
"The banshees will not stay away from their masters. These two people were obviously not captured from the garrison fortress." Capone said with a solemn face.
The implication is clear to everyone without too much explanation.
These two Ernstinger guards were the airship's attendants!
Although there is a large amount of supplies on the boat as supplies, and hundreds of accompanying personnel use the damaged airship as a temporary camp, it is not a problem to station for a period of time, but now it seems that their location has attracted the attention of wandering monsters.
Mo Bei had always been thinking about this matter, and now that such a situation occurred, he could not suppress the anxiety rising in his heart. But looking at the banshees outside the attack range, flying one after another, as if they were mocking them, they could only take a deep breath of the cold air and quietly wait for the news from Ernstinger. .
He had already guessed the true intentions of these banshees. They brought two corpses all the way here, not to show off their power, but to force Harrogas to take action.
He even hoped that the monster knew that there was an object on the airship that could transmit information, so that the people on the other side of the airship wreckage should not have been exterminated yet, so that they could serve as bait.
Mo Bei looked in the direction of Kane, thinking that if Ernstinger received the news, it wouldn't take long. However, he currently didn't know much about Harrogas' personnel and wanted to get the information. For first-hand information, naturally I still have to go to Kane.
Some of the banshees seemed unable to bear the temptation of the human aura in the city, and their expressions became more and more crazy. They even began to rub their legs back and forth. The red light in their eyes gradually swallowed up their reason.
They screamed and flew towards the wall where the crowd was relatively loose, and waved their hands to shoot out a series of crackling magic fire.
These passive fires burn extremely fiercely, but their energy is very condensed. They look like fire balls that shoot out countless flame tips. Once hit, the power penetrates much faster than the bombardment of ordinary fireballs.
The attack frequency of each banshee is quite fast. On the battlefield, the deadly threat posed by the swarms of magic fire is no less than being surrounded by a group of self-destructing demon servants.
The fortress wall came to life like a giant beast that had been provoked, and the invisible force stirred the path of the wind and snow, instantly annihilating those dark red light groups into streams of more than a dozen approaching banshees and tearing them into pieces.
The elders who sacrificed themselves may no longer have any subjective consciousness, but the defenders of Harrogath still feel unbearable every time they see the defensive barrier being activated.
They don't know where the limit of this barrier is, and no one wants to know. Everyone alive doesn't want to hear the hum of the barrier under attack.
Various long-range attacks splashed into the sky, knocking all the other Styx banshees off the cliff before they hit the barrier.
The blood and flesh splashing in the air seemed to restore some sanity to the banshees behind them. They restrained the urge to continue attacking and flew back to a safe distance. After a burst of extremely angry and unwilling roars, they already had the momentum to retreat.
Capone angrily threw more than ten javelins, but none of them hit, and he was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.
At the end of the so-called powerful crossbow, even when the arrows shot by Milor reached the distance of the banshee, their speed and accuracy were very poor, and they began to move with the wind, causing no damage at all.
"Damn it! These witches don't fight to the death like before!" Capone looked furious, wishing he could spread his wings and chase them out.
His anger came from the two corpses abandoned by the banshees, and so did the others. If they were so provoked, it would be hard to calm down their anger if they just watched these monsters walk away like this.
Mo Bei stopped the eager Perona with his eyes. Even with Serina's assistance, it was impossible for her to take advantage of the concentrated fire of hundreds of long-range monsters. The strings of magic fire balls intertwined into a network, and Facing the most perverted BOSS in the STG game is no different. One careless person will be dead.
But he did remember one thing, which was the big drum that Perona and I found in the forest outside the port when the monster wave besieged the port of Kurast.
The war drum of the demon army can stimulate all monsters affected by the hell fire to charge towards the area where humans are located. I just don’t know if he would have such an effect if he knocked it.
With a thought, a large drum made of giant skulls appeared on top of the city, more than half a person tall. The demon skull has ferocious fangs, and the support of the demon skin drum head naturally tilts, and even the frame is not needed.
"What!?" Capone turned his head and looked at the sudden appearance in surprise.
"Drum, maybe we can lure them here." Mo Bei raised the drumstick made of bone stick and hit it on the drum head with moderate force.
With the whole city on alert, he didn't worry about attracting other monsters. Even if they did, he could deal with them. It was better than the monster army accumulating enough strength to attack Harrogath every time. The offense must be strong.
"Boom!!"
The low drum beat echoed out, making everyone's hearts skip a beat and they all turned their heads to look.
However, the group of banshees showed no reaction and gradually dispersed into several groups and left in different directions.
Seeing this, Mo Bei made a further attempt, took out a piece of Mephisto's skeleton, held it in his palm, and swung the drumstick again.
This time, he clearly saw that as the drum surface trembled, a layer of black mist rolled outward, with an awe-inspiring evil aura, which had obviously aroused the power within it.
He just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect humans to be able to use the Hell War Drums in this way, which really surprised him.
This drum sound also has a kind of magical quality, spreading extremely far, and the group of banshees in the distance suddenly turn around when they hear the sound.
"Knock! Keep knocking!" Seeing that the sound of the drum really attracted the attention of the banshees, Capone kept urging.
As Mo Bei waved the drumsticks one after another, the dull sound of footsteps like giant strides echoed over Harrogas. The banshees felt that the demon blood flowing in their bodies began to boil, and their ferocity was completely aroused.
They neighed in the direction of the fortress, and the screams formed sound waves like stone, shaking the surrounding snowflakes into powder.
