1377 Attack and Defense
The sound of the horn, along with the northwest wind that blew in the evening, made the atmosphere in the canyon stagnant and dull, and there was also a strong sense of killing.
Seventeen tribes, tens of thousands of magic beasts, plus the desert beast half-crouching in the center of the canyon on the west side of Lanhai Castle, were the lineup of the Xilan Alliance in the first attack on the human wizard city.
As the commander of the coalition, Femia was accompanied by a majestic black iron-winged beast, and behind her was a large group of smaller tribesmen.
The difference from the magic beasts of different tribes in the canyon passage was that hundreds of iron-winged beasts hovered in the air with only the sound of flapping wings. Only the slightly violent panting sound mixed in the wind could make Femia, the elder of the tribe, understand that her tribesmen were also a little nervous.
Yes, how could they not be nervous?
The Lanhai Castle built by the human wizards in front of us is like a giant hand that is strangling the neck of Lanhai Mountain, strangling the only passage to Lanhai Mountain, and forcing all land-based monsters that need to pass through here to pay a high fee in exchange for the right to pass.
However, this is the habitat of the monster tribe since ancient times. More than a thousand years ago, the nearest human city was thousands of miles away!
Thinking of this, Femia's heart was filled with sadness. The difference between her and the land-based monsters in the canyon passage is that the Iron Wing Beast Tribe's memory of this human city in front of them is full of blood and shame, as well as the titles of many sacrifices engraved in the tribe's altar, and the heavy price they paid to reach the city and build it!
More than a thousand years ago, after the first lord of Lanhai Castle chose this place, he launched a purge against the Iron Wing Beastmen living in the canyon. Tens of thousands of Iron Wing Beastmen who originally occupied this place were eventually reduced to one in ten. In the despair of seeking help to no avail, fighting ineffectively, bleeding dry, and almost all the adult tribesmen being slaughtered, they had to abandon this place and flee far away!
Thinking of this, Femia's chest was filled with resentment. Her cold face was a little distorted at this moment, and her heart seemed to be clenched so that she couldn't breathe!
But the city built by human wizards in front of her was still calm. Only when the setting sun slanted and revealed its protective barrier, could one feel the solemnity contained in the silence.
As if sensing Femia's restlessness, the Iron Wing Beast beside her decisively whistled, reminding her that what she needed to issue now was the order to attack.
As the whistling sound rang out close by. Femia quickly restrained her emotions, raised her right arm and whistled softly, then cast her eyes towards the desert beast.
The desert beast, which had closed its eyes before as if it was resting, stood up silently, moved its neck slightly, and began to move towards the direction of the Lanhai Castle.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Every step it took increased the speed of the desert beast. The dust rising from its feet gradually blocked the sight of the coalition forces, and the flying flying hit the sides of the canyon and produced sparks. Even the tremors on the surface could be felt by Femia, which also accelerated the hearts of all the monsters present!
The sprint distance of less than two kilometers was a bit short for the desert beast, but the Lanhai Castle, which was guarding the narrowest position in the canyon, only had the slightly open area of the canyon on the west side to allow the desert beast to sprint.
Staring blankly at the desert beast that was gradually accelerating, she raised her right arm. Watching it crouch down, watching the giant cone-shaped shield condensed in front of it, watching it rush towards the Lanhai Castle behind the force field barrier with an irresistible attitude!
Just when the desert beast was about to touch the defensive barrier outside the Lanhai Castle, the huge and heavy desert beast suddenly jumped up!
The cone-shaped shield on its right arm was tightly attached to its body by its crossed hands. The huge body curled up slightly and crashed into the main castle in the center of the canyon like a meteorite falling from the sky!
A loud bang!
Accompanied by the sound of the force field barrier shattering, it appeared frequently. The defensive barrier that had been unable to be broken by the Warcraft coalition was actually disintegrated at the same time as it was revealed!
But Femia, who was about to raise her arm to signal a dive, shrank her eyes, and the right arm that had just been raised could no longer be raised!
Because the desert beast that smashed the outer defense barrier of Lanhai Castle sank after landing and fell directly into the open space in front of the city gate!
Behind the defense barrier that could not be penetrated by vision before, there was no main castle at all, because there was only extremely dense black air there. It turned out that the outline of Lanhai Castle that the coalition had vaguely seen before was just an illusion!
The Lanhai Castle, which was completely covered by the dense black air, remained silent after the desert beast smashed its defense barrier. Even the dense black air that covered the main castle seemed to be solidified, wrapping the entire Lanhai Castle tightly!
But this abnormality does not mean anything, so the desert beast that pulled its legs out of the muddy surface in vain turned around and looked at Femia with an inquiring look after standing firm. Femia, who was panicked before, finally raised her right arm and issued the order for the general attack!
The sudden roar caused many Iron Wing Beasts to bypass Femia and dive down, and the coalition of Warcraft neatly arranged in the canyon also began to charge.
The humming sound of wings tearing through the air, accompanied by the roar of the monsters trampling the ground in the canyon. The heat of the attack suddenly rose, and the desert beast holding a cone-shaped shield rushed into the thick black air, triggering the first wave of cheers from the monster coalition!
Femia, who hovered in place and did not dive with her tribe, confused the iron-winged beasts around her, but in an instant, the iron-winged beasts that had already approached the Lanhai Castle released their own defense force fields one by one, and then plunged into the thick black air.
The vanguard team that rushed into the Lanhai Castle from the canyon passage almost rushed in after the iron-winged beasts, but the sudden strangeness of Femia's pupils again made her heartbeat suddenly speed up!
Because the Lanhai Castle wrapped in the thick black air was as quiet as before, the monsters that swarmed in could not make any sound!
But according to the established plan, the team that first approaches the Lanhai Castle needs to blow down the gate first, so that the subsequent teams can be deployed smoothly!
When Femia secretly thought that it was not good, the thick black gas wrapped around the Lanhai Castle suddenly began to surge, and the iron beasts that had just entered it were ejected from the black gas one by one, as if they had suffered an inexplicable attack and wailed miserably and desperately!
The Warcraft coalition forces piled up in the canyon also stopped the team because of the strange situation in front of them, but the desert beast appeared from the thick black gas!
However, the situation of this desert beast was getting weirder and weirder. There was a layer of black gas lingering on its surface, and after it got rid of the thick black gas, it wailed and stumbled towards the coalition forces in the canyon!
The thick black gas that seemed to have solidified before suddenly surged outwards as if alive. The icy coldness made Femia, who saw the tribesmen fleeing in panic, feel like she was falling into an icy abyss!
Because all the monsters that escaped from the thick black gas seemed to have been severely corroded, their skin cracked, and there was black gas lingering around them like maggots attached to their bones!
Even the huge desert beast with a defense ability comparable to that of a dawn-level wizard seemed to have its skin peeled off alive!
Femia, who immediately realized that the thick black gas could not be resisted, issued an order to retreat without hesitation!
The embarrassed and panicked monster coalition began to retreat, and the thick black gas above the main castle gradually condensed into the face of the half-lich Trini.
The half-lich Trini, who was watching the monster coalition in the passage on the west side of the canyon, had no joy on his face, only the astonishment that was difficult to conceal...
