Chapter 809: Critical Moment

The soldiers also reacted at this moment, and when it was too late to turn the muzzle of the other machine gun, they directly took off the revolver rifle behind them and fired——

The long sword inserted into the monster's body became the best marker. Within ten steps, it was almost impossible for the revolver to miss. The officers and soldiers, including Brian, fired all the bullets in one go, and the dense barrage swept over Edith's head, and she could even hear the hiss of the bullets piercing the air.

Looking back, the twisted air became solidified, and a monster emerged from the void. It stood close to six feet, half taller than an adult. In addition to a pair of sickle-like forelimbs, there were seven or eight pairs of secondary legs on its abdomen. It was covered in a taupe carapace, which looked impressive. Creepy. Fortunately, the armor couldn't withstand the close-range shots of the guns—its slender, locust-like head had a gap the size of a fist, and it twitched twice before falling to the ground covered in blood.

"Get out of the way!" A loud roar came from behind Edith.

An epee came at the sound, and it was so powerful that it made a thick buzzing sound. The sword directly smashed in front of the position of the first machine gun team, knocking the other two monsters into the air, and the invisible ripples also dissipated.

Then several God's Punishment Witches crossed her side, raised their swords and slashed horizontally, splitting the monster that hadn't had time to get up in two.

"Reinforcements have arrived", Edith was slightly relieved when she realized this.

The number of enemies was not large, and without the advantage of invisibility, they were quickly hacked to pieces by the superhuman warriors who rushed up.

Moreover, she noticed that when the monster approached the Witch of God's Punishment, it would take on a strange form—for example, half of it was hiding in nothingness, while the other half was forced to reveal its original shape, as if the ability to hide its whereabouts had failed.

"Are you okay?" Maggie helped Edith up, "We saw these enemies in the rock wall, but it's a pity that we are still a step behind."

"Are you using colorful magic stones?"

"That's right," another tall man walked up to her, "Leave it to us here, mortal weapons are not good at dealing with this kind of situation, you go and inform the people above, and bring some divine punishment along the way." Come down, witch."

Edith remembered that her name seemed to be Betty, "Can you destroy each other's disguise?"

"A technique similar to God's Stone of Retaliation," the man shrugged. "At present, it can only disable the enemy's invisibility for a short time."

"But they also carry the God's Stone of Retaliation, why can't they see the enemy..." Brian asked through gritted teeth, looking at the three dead soldiers on the ground.

"It's not surprising," Betty replied calmly. "Light, distance, and attention will all affect the observation results. The average quality of the god's stone, the range of influence is only about one or two steps, and the enemy's exposure time is only in the blink of an eye. In such a dim environment, it's normal not to be able to see."

Edith couldn't help sighing. Indeed, just now I noticed that the sickle monster showed half of its body, and it was mostly when the two sides were fighting. With the length of the enemy's forelimbs and the advantage of sneak attack, it was basically too late for ordinary people to find out that something was wrong. . Unless the sacred stone is buried in advance, the First Army really has nothing to do with this kind of enemy.

"Damn it!" Brian shook his fist hard, "I should have brought down the barbed wire first!"

"Go back quickly, I always feel that something may have happened in the cave," Betty urged again, "The strange noise just now seemed to have alarmed the entire snow mountain."

"You heard that too?" Edith asked in surprise.

"We have lost most of our sense of touch, so our eyesight and hearing have become exceptionally sharp..." The other party looked at her a few times before saying, "I didn't expect ordinary people to be able to do this."

Sure enough, it wasn't her hallucination... Edith nodded, took the God's Stone of Retaliation and threw it next to the machine gun, pulled Brian and others to surround Maggie, sank into the ground with the magic ark, and then walked along the stone wall climb up. Although the Musketeer Battalion Commander was somewhat reluctant to hand over the frontline battlefield to the Taquila Witch, he followed the overall situation in the end. After all, once the God's Punishment Witch fights with the enemy, they will never be able to open fire on their allies wantonly.

The people stationed on the Blackstone Tower were obviously unaware of the battle that took place at the bottom of the cave, and they were still using ropes to lower tents, sacred stones, guns and ammunition and other combat supplies. After Brian stopped everyone, he didn't take the steam elevator back to the entrance of the cave, but let Maggie go on.

Just when everyone was about to reach the worm passage, dense gunshots suddenly sounded overhead, as intense as a storm! This means that the first army in the checkpoint did not hold back, but directly entered the state of full firepower!

The faces of the group couldn't help but change, and the witch's cheeks blushed even more, making the ascent speed a little faster.

After the Magic Ark rushed out of the ground, Edith couldn't help but widen her eyes.

I saw stumps and organs falling from the top of the cave, like a rain of corpses, three machine gun teams lined up, shooting at the dark cave roof under Sylvie's command; The round gun and precision shooting team are specialized in dealing with the blind spots above the head. There is no need to aim at the enemy, just erect the barrel and fire along the cave wall.

"What's the enemy?" Brian asked, grabbing a soldier.

"It's evil beasts, my lord!" The soldier reported while busy loading ammunition, "A group of evil beasts poured down from the snow mountain!"

"Damn! How could they suddenly come to join in the fun at this time!"

A thought flashed across Edith's mind.

Could it be that the dull buzz is used to summon the same kind?

She has read in a book written by His Majesty that there is a strange sound in this world, which is difficult for human ears to hear, but it is exceptionally clear to some creatures, and even some species can make this sound, A unique exchange with the same kind, is this what they are encountering now?

However, there was more than one surprising piece of news. While Brian was watching the battle, another soldier ran into the cave, "My lord, Miss Maggie found signs of abnormal activity in the demonic beasts east of the Hidden Forest—they It seems that they are approaching the snow mountain instead of attacking Neverwinter as expected!"

"What? This—" The Musketeer Battalion Commander froze for a moment.

"My lord?" asked the soldier eagerly, "What shall we do?"

"How could this be...how could this be..." Brian's face was ashen, and he repeated a sentence in his mouth, and sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.

This guy is still too inexperienced. Edith frowned. As a commander, she couldn't show her confusion and helplessness at any time, especially in front of her subordinates.

She coughed twice, "The matter is not complicated. First of all, we need to gather the first army stationed outside the snow mountain and concentrate on defense at the entrance of the cave. This will greatly reduce the length of the front line, and only need a few machine guns to contain the evil beasts." Shock."

Brian looked at her, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "That's...that's true."

"Secondly, ask Miss Maggie to contact His Majesty Roland immediately, and ask him to send reinforcements just in case—after all, we need to rely on the Chishui River for supplies of ammunition and food. Once we abandon the camp and stick to the passage, we will definitely not be able to fight for a long time." Itti He continued quickly and undisturbed, "Besides, the evil beasts don't have the ability to swim, so don't abandon the few cement boats outside. Leaving a dozen or so people can not only contain the evil beasts, but also guide the follow-up personnel."

"Miss Sylvie is in charge of directing the firepower to block the evil beasts on the top of the cave, so it's not a big problem; as for the distributed god stone, you don't need to wear it on your body for the time being, but bury it around the checkpoints to prevent sneak attacks. Finally, don't forget to send towers to the bottom of the cave. The Qiraji witch, Betty is still waiting for our reinforcements, and only when there are enough of them can we head towards the southern end of the river and retrieve Miss Agatha and the others." Her voice was calm and steady, and the people around her gradually calmed down Come down, "The faster this step is, the better—if I'm not mistaken, the place where the weird sound comes from is the key to solving the problem."

Brian took a deep breath, "I understand, I will do as you said."
