A rapid siren sounded throughout the camp.
At the same time, the lighting in the camp suddenly dimmed. Something "took" the light.
The change came extremely suddenly, and several light sources in the camp went out at the same time. At the moment when light and dark alternated, Griffith vaguely saw a huge shadow coming towards him.
"Be careful!" Amber flew over, hugged Griffith and rolled around on the ground. The howling wind swept past, as sharp as a blade, and there was even a cracking sound of rocks being cut and chopped.
Lordes' low chant extended in the darkness, the sound was majestic and terrifying, gathering into rolling thunder. Amid the roar of thunder, a dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the darkness.
The camp was illuminated again, and Griffith, who had just stood up from the ground, saw a huge shadow with two wings suddenly flashing in the air not far away. The terrifying pointed beak and ferocious hooks were as absurd as a nightmare. The shadow disappeared into the dark cave in an instant, as fast as an illusion.
What is this?
Before he could think about it carefully, there was a dense rustling sound coming from the temple ruins and crypt. A flood of giant insects came out. Each of them is the size of a bison, with dark purple carapace and claws as sharp as sickles, and runs on the ground with six insect tentacles.
"These are the same kind of human-faced armor, the war bugs of the Xagai swarm. There are more than one kind of mutated bugs behind them!" Amber said, unfolding the adamantine gloves at the same time, interlacing his fists and drawing an electric arc to wrap around himself, "Surveys show that when their population reaches a certain size, a brainworm with commanding capabilities will be born."
"Oh? I'm still thinking that there were too few monsters along the way, and it was a little too easy." Griffith chuckled. "It seems that someone has gathered their strength and is waiting for us?"
The battle was about to break out, and the swarms of insects surged like rivers, sweeping in from tunnels and caves in all directions. They make strange rustling noises and are surprisingly numerous. Even if you are an extraordinary person, once you fall into this sea of insects, half of your feet will step into the abyss of death.
At the same time, there were some strange movements in the camp. The surrounding Beyonder teams quietly dispersed, and unexpectedly vaguely surrounded Griffith and Amber in the center. The muskets in the hands of the elite assault scouts were also in a state of readiness.
Just waiting for an order.
"Griffith," Amber said urgently, "there is danger..."
Amber's body was surrounded by spiritual energy, and a pair of illusory wings grew out of her back. As the chosen one of the Storm God, she can activate her mythic form at any time.
"Wait, Amber, don't worry," Griffith gently patted the girl on the shoulder to tell her to calm down.
Whether it's a conspiracy or a trap, it's meaningless as long as it doesn't come out.
The members of the Power Rangers have not taken action against Griffith until now. So, Griffith de Ravenel, as the flag-captain of Bayerland and a senior officer of the Senate, used the military power granted by the state as his authority and all violence as his shield.
Come on, plot against each other! Griffith held Hanguang in his hand and waved forward, "Infantry, spread out in horizontal formation.
"Osiris, Jeremiah, come out front!"
Under this command, there was a vague aura that resonated with heaven and earth. The assault scout suddenly felt his blood surge, his fighting spirit aroused, and he acted instinctively. The extraordinary people present felt a sense of fear and awe that they couldn't resist.
The bishop and sword master who were originally standing in the middle of the team suddenly felt that they were being spurred by some invisible will. Even though they were extraordinary beings, they felt powerless to act like chess pieces and the other as chess pieces, irresistibly moving along the chessboard. go ahead.
Amber, who had been standing by her side, took half a step back in shock. In her memory, Griffith was a reserved sergeant, an armored cavalry galloping on the battlefield, and a diligent young officer. In any case, he was a close and familiar partner.
However, with this order, it was as if a sunrise had risen in the dark underground. In the radiant light, Griffith just stood with his sword in his hand, and there was a strong momentum that made people look at him.
One movement or one look can make the world shake and the situation change!
The characteristics of the war knight were merged with the identity of the flag captain, and the order achieved amazing results. Even Griffith did not expect that his orders and momentum would make even extraordinary people unable to resist.
He felt that he was touching the threshold of the "strong claim" of authority of the demigod persona Breaker of Laws.
After receiving the order, Bishop Osiris' whole body was wrapped in light. He took long strides, his majestic body lying across the entrance and exit of the camp. The temporary camp relies on the ruins of the original underground temple. There are pits and low walls that are difficult to pass on the front. A defense line is set up by assault scouts. The only exit is a flat and narrow stone bridge. The bishop's burly body is like a war elephant. Block the road.
The bald man's robes were blown up by the strong wind, revealing his silver heavy armor and strong bronze-like muscles.
Like a Titan, he swung a heavy hammer and smashed it head-on against the large group of Xiagai War Insects that were charging towards them.
"Boom——"
Low sound waves spread underground. The insect that was struck by Osiris shattered into pieces. The insects from behind swarmed towards him, but they ran into the invisible sound wave. No matter how fierce and fearless they are, the mysterious power still sticks to them like glue and cannot be shaken off.
Osiris's heavy attack creates a large-scale slowing effect while attacking.
Immediately, he stepped aside, and Jeremiah passed by waving his swords. The blade rolled up a pale storm, making a tooth-itching tearing sound. Wherever it went, all the insects that the blade touched were torn into pieces and filled with pus.
After a sweep, Jeremia took another step back, and Osiris came forward in rotation.
The bishop and the swordsman alternately cooperate, one defends and the other attacks, rotating with each other. A dense swarm of insects crowded on the stone bridge and was swept across repeatedly by the two men. The crushed giant insect remains covered their knees in the blink of an eye, filling the pits under the bridge.
At the same time, Griffith saw that Beyeland's skirmishers wandering on the outside were also withdrawing to the defense line. They fired a volley, then threw grenades. These skirmishers are all selected warriors from the light infantry units directly under the legion. It is common for them to stand in front of the legion's front and snipe the enemy's thousands of troops in a sparse formation.
Even though their main weapons were changed from bows and arrows to flintlocks, their tactical movements were already so skillful that they seemed to be engraved in their bones. They retreated while fighting without any chaos, relying on short-term fire cover to kill and delay insects, and then retreated behind the defense line along the pre-demarcated road with bayonets and short guns in hand.
Immediately afterwards, Beyeland's line privates began to attack. They lined up in a thin line, commanding from a high position, and fired one after another with their flintlock muskets, piercing the carapace of the insects at close range and knocking them to the ground.
This was the tactic of Beyeland's regular troops. Powerful Beyonders serve as the backbone of defense and breakthrough, and with the cooperation of the army, they can block enemy forces several times their size. After the battle line is stabilized, the artillerymen, armored cavalry or high-level extraordinary beings in the rear will seize the opportunity to launch a full-force attack.
Finally, Lordes' high-level magic spell was ready. A rolling cloud of thunder and lightning gathered underground, making an indescribable and shrill whipping sound. A huge blue electric arc smashed into the insect swarm, bouncing around, and the loud noise made everyone's ears buzz.
The arc of electricity cut off the insect swarm, leaving behind charred remains wherever it went. Facing mutated creatures that cannot produce blood, the lethality of high-level mystical scholars can even surpass that of heavy artillery.
The insect swarm's offensive was immediately suffocated. In a very short period of time, they had laid a thick layer of debris on the ground, but they had not caused any human casualties. There were even two extraordinary and most extraordinary beings in the camp who did not take action.
"They played pretty well." Griffith smiled and nodded.
When the insect swarm suddenly attacks, it's so dense that it's scary. However, running into a well-organized army is like a flood hitting a dam, making it difficult to move forward.
"The superior races in the swarm and even the brain worms are about to take action," Amber said. "The war worms are their consumables, but they are not unlimited. If the damage is too great, it will shake the foundation of the entire group."
Griffith didn't have much experience fighting these creatures. However, according to the general history of occult science, he also knew that the next ones to join the battle would be creatures with psychic powers and special attack abilities. Only in this way could it be possible to shake the human defense line.
】
He turned his gaze sideways and saw another transcendent clown standing on the ground like an oak tree. Although he looks dull, his extraordinary power is unquestionable.
With high-level wizards like Lordes sitting in charge, they can use large-scale attack spells to clear out the low-level mutant insect swarms, forcing the powerful races among them to be exposed as soon as possible, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop. No matter what kind of attack the bug comes up with next, it will hit the hands of two powerful supernatural beings, Griffith and the Joker!
Wait, something is wrong!
At this moment, Griffith suddenly discovered that the face of Professor Lordes, who was commanding the battle situation at a high place in the camp, was pale and lifeless. The battle has just begun, and this high-level wizard should not have had much consumption.
Immediately afterwards, a dark green beam of light flashed in the darkness, and an extremely majestic aura was overwhelming.
The entire crypt seemed to have collapsed at this moment, and the heavy pressure on my heart made me feel cramped. Amber and many Beyonders on the side fell to their knees without even participating in the battle.
What kind of will is this! ?
Griffith heard disembodied noises. This mysterious force that erodes reality is even above him.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
In the sinister flute sound like music, the image of nothingness emerged in Griffith's mind. He vaguely saw a vast primeval forest, with volcanoes and lakes scattered among them, and huge weird things he had never seen before were rushing through it.
A fiery red outline flashed deep in the forest, clearly Erza's figure. Her body was wrapped with something indescribable, like butterfly wings or a parasitic monster.
She ran in the forest, not knowing what she was avoiding. Wherever she went, plants withered and unknown vegetation grew like fiery red moss, like a river dividing the forest.
Mutations! ? Erza's psychic powers are out of control? !
Griffith was shocked. The fantasy disappeared immediately, and he sensed Erza's location, deep underground. At the same time, there is another extremely huge and daunting will hanging in the void.
"It's you……
"The strong man of mankind...
"Come to me, follow my trail, come to me... leave the charlatan...
"The great Chizen Yinza will help you."
Chicen Yinza...who is this?
"Protect him!"
Griffith didn't have time to calculate so much and immediately ran in the direction of Lordes. The high-level wizard's face was as white as paper and he was mumbling something hurriedly. Sweat beaded his hair, and even the hand holding the wand trembled.
Huge coercion suddenly descended, pressing down on Lordes. The invisible collision of spiritual levels could not be seen by anyone, but it was thrilling to all the extraordinary people present. The spiritual energy was pulled violently, making a loud tearing sound, and even many insects suddenly lost their direction and started screaming and running around.
