Chapter 221: The Bond of Ancetus [Subscription Request]
In the sky, Ansetus, standing on a four-winged magic eagle, looked indifferent.
He looked at the situation below and frowned.
The development of the situation was somewhat unexpected.
"Black Street Rats..."
"And those adventurers and mercenaries..."
"Why are they so fearless in supporting the castle?"
Ansetus was a little confused.
In fact, his concept was similar to that of Baron Bessos.
The class gap was like a chasm, difficult to cross.
Faced with the threat of the magic disaster, all the natives of Naroa would certainly try their best to resist the monsters.
But they would never defend the castle so desperately.
You must know that the castle has always been the castle of the nobles, not the civilians.
Even if the monsters advance layer by layer, the small castle cannot accommodate everyone.
As for whether the castle is the command center of Magtan City, it is not important to the black street rats and civilians.
Whether the nobles are still there or not, fighting to the death is the only way they can choose.
If the situation in front of him appeared on the second circle of defense, Ansetus would not find it strange at all.
But he found it incomprehensible that they supported the Baron Castle so fearlessly.
Different social backgrounds created different concepts.
In any case, this scene was subversive for him.
And he didn't know about Chen Xuan and the contract, but was just surprised by the current situation.
With the arrival of a large number of reinforcements, this group of monsters was completely restrained.
It takes time to attack the castle in one go, and most of the monsters are still gathered on the periphery.
At this time, they happened to encounter reinforcements coming from all directions.
The two sides confronted each other and launched a bloody fight.
Regardless of the final outcome, at least the monsters' attempt to quickly destroy the castle in a blitzkrieg mode was shattered.
Ansetus quickly swept across the field from a high position.
Analyzing the situation on the battlefield.
The density of the defenders in the castle was extremely high. When the monsters were restrained by external forces, both sides fought for consumption.
In general, the strength of the monsters is still superior.
But using more than 30,000 monsters to fight more than 50,000 Naroa natives, let alone a quick attack on the castle.
Even if they can win in the end, it will probably be a miserable victory!
In the distant sky, the black dragon Belai, who was fighting with the female warrior Satyr of Zerekan, was distracted by the situation here.
Ansethus knew that he could not continue to hide.
He slowly lowered his head, and when he raised it again, his whole face was covered with dense purple scales.
The dark mist was lingering in front of his face, covering his facial features.
Although he had already surrendered to the monsters and even made a thorough transformation.
But until the showdown, he was still unwilling to directly reveal his identity.
Just think that the Ansethus Axo, who used to be in charge of the Autumn Narcissus Merchant Group and was always energetic and ambitious, is dead.
And he didn't want to be seen by someone...
After a while of turmoil, he stepped lightly on the magic eagle, and his figure became faint together with his mount, and then he dived downward.
The first target was Ahn'Qiraj Lord who was casting a spell.
Ansethus recognized Ahn'Qiraj and had a general understanding of her past and strength.
At this time, he found that she had become a fourth-level great wizard.
He immediately realized that she should have just broken through.
The magic vortex that suddenly appeared on the wizard tower before was the best proof.
This kind of advancement that accumulates and then explodes can often quickly exert combat effectiveness.
After all, the study of spell models can be studied in advance.
First learn the fourth-level spell theory, and after the advancement, it will naturally be able to cast it.
This is the case with Ahn'Qiraj Lord now.
It is a large-scale [Fire Rain] or a modified version of [Thunderstorm].
You should know that Ahn'Qiraj has a dual-system casting talent, and can cast thunder and fire magic.
Both systems are known for their high lethality.
Wherever Ahn'Qiraj Lord passed, lightning and thunder, rolling flames swept everywhere.
Under the cover of everyone, her true incarnation became a spell turret.
She poured bottles of magic recovery potions into her mouth one after another.
The strong output made Ansethus list her as the primary hunting target.
The four-winged magic eagle flapped its wings and made a sharp cry, and suddenly swooped down.
Just as it was about to approach the ground, Ansethus swung his cloak, and the black magic wings gathered on his back spread out like gliders, and his claws instantly became curved and sharp, and he pounced directly towards Ahn'Qiraj.
It was not until he was about ten meters above her head that his figure was exposed.
Ahn'Qiraj below seemed to have noticed something.
But this distance was not enough for her to chant and cast protective magic.
Fortunately, the jewelry she was wearing could be activated at the first time.
Several layers of magic shields of different colors emerged.
Ancetus turned a blind eye to it, and the pair of sharp claws rose up chaotic magic on the surface, stabbing straight at those magic shields.
"Pop pop pop..."
Like a bubble being punctured, those magic shields seemed to have no obstacles to Ancetus.
After the baptism of the blood of the magic dragon and years of accumulation, Ancetus's strength exceeded that of an ordinary fifth-level guarding monster.
Even the magic element practitioners at the early stage of the gold level did not dare to challenge it directly.
Using swift means to suddenly launch a surprise attack on Ahn'Qiraj, a spellcaster, was indeed difficult to withstand.
If the caster wants to take advantage, he must have a sufficient safe distance.
Asking a spellcaster to engage in hand-to-hand combat is no less than asking an old man to hang himself with a rope.
The characteristics of stealth, instant kill and defense breaking allow Ansetus to show the courage to kill with one strike.
No one survived his claws, and he vowed to strangle Ahn'Qiraj under his claws.
Everything happens in a blink of an eye.
The surrounding adventurers and tower keepers acting as "wingmen" couldn't react at all.
Even Ahn'Qiraj himself had no time to dodge or take other countermeasures.
Seeing the pair of sharp claws approaching her head.
Ansetus seemed to have foreseen the moment when the skull was broken open, and the sticky red and white splashed.
"Bang!"
The next second, he felt a pain in his abdomen.
Some of the chaos magic was consumed.
The powerful kinetic energy caused his body to move laterally by several meters.
"boom!"
It was only then that the huge roar of firearms came belatedly.
Large-caliber supersonic bullets are faster than sound!
A few hundred meters away, the kitten girl Rebecca was crawling on the roof of a building on the first floor.
There is an NTW20/14.5 anti-materiel sniper rifle in front of him.
The huge scope and folding tripod stand are in stark contrast to Rebecca's petite body.
This thing fires 14.5mm high-speed armor-piercing projectiles and is mainly used for anti-materiel.
Can deal with lightly armored targets at long distances.
With her super sense, she just managed to hit Ansetus at the last moment.
The bullet hit his waist. Although it failed to break through the defense of chaotic magic, the kinetic energy attached to it also allowed him to deflect.
Affected by this, Ahn'Qiraj Lord rolled on the spot,
Then he built a [Fire Resistance Ring] around him.
Disturbed, Ansetus quickly adjusted his body shape and was about to spread his magic wings to pursue.
There were adventurers below taking advantage of the situation and pounced forward.
In response, Ansetus could cut them open with just a wave of his claws.
But even so, those adventurers still kept going.
They were just like crazy.
Completely disregarding his own safety, he used his flesh and blood to delay Ansetus' movements.
In the distance, after completing a successful sniper shot, Rebecca suddenly raised her right hand and waved lightly.
Ophelia, who was not far behind Ahn'Qiraj, held an RPG7 and fired a 70mm rocket.
At this juncture, she couldn't think about whether she might be accidentally injured.
Ahn'Qiraj Lord must not die here.
The rocket passed through the retreating Ahn'Qiraj, dragging a trail of smoke and shooting towards Ansetus.
At this moment, Ansetus was slashing open an adventurer with his claws.
The sense of danger suddenly alarmed him.
The speed of rockets was not as fast as that of high-speed armor-piercing projectiles, and the movement of the tail flames allowed him to react in time.
Ansetus opened his mouth wide, and his blood-red tongue shot out towards the rocket like a tough steel wire.
In an instant, it extended for more than ten or twenty meters.
The tip of his tongue penetrated the warhead at the front of the rocket, causing the rocket to disintegrate like exploding bamboo.
After the long blood-red tongue pierced the rocket, it immediately turned around and swept away the adventurers who were still trying to pounce.
At this time, Ahn'Qiraj had retreated fifty or sixty meters away and was building a spell model.
The phantom of Thunder appeared in mid-air, quickly taking shape as her mental power was drawn out.
Ansetus roared, his whole body filled with blood.
The muscles in both arms and legs swelled, turning into thick limbs that resembled a dragon's.
The magic wings behind him were restrained again, and a large amount of chaotic magic power spurted out in a cluster.
This caused his speed to surge, and he continued to attack Ahn'Qiraj without giving up.
In the eyes of everyone, Ansetus was a crazy and terrifying monster.
Looking at the high-level monster charging towards him, Ahn'Qiraj gritted his teeth and continued to cast spells.
She was under tremendous pressure.
With every second that passed, Ansetus got closer to her, and the spell model became more perfect.
The game between the two sides made the atmosphere stagnant, and even time seemed to slow down a lot.
At this moment, an angry shout came.
"Damn monster!"
Then a figure with silver-level magic energy stood in front of Ahn'Qiraj.
She also held several test tubes of magic tears in her hand, making it clear that she wanted to protect Ahn'Qiraj.
Ansetus, who was in the half-dragon state, was shocked when he saw the person clearly, and his vertical eyes suddenly shrank.
When he wanted to stop, it was too late.
The powerful momentum allows him to cover a distance of at least twenty meters per second.
When this figure appeared, he was already halfway through his sprint.
"Why!"
He roared in his mind.
Blood instantly spread in his eyes.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking appeared.
He forcibly twisted his arms and body, turned a few meters in front of the figure, and rushed to the side and rear.
On the spot, Ophelia, who was holding several test tubes of magic tears, was just about to throw them out.
But the next moment, the charging monster suddenly changed its direction.
She seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became dull.
"Father...Father?"
Before that, she only understood that the gray flash ritual and the large number of monsters that appeared in Axo Manor might be related to her father, but she had no idea about her father's current state.
And the demonized Ancetus had long lost his human form.
He looked like a monster in the form of a half dragon.
After forcibly reversing the momentum at the cost of fractured bones and self-injury, he gave up the goal of Ahn'Qiraj.
He turned and flew in the direction of the Blacksmith Association.
The devil in his heart burst out, and he hated the remaining emotions more and more.
Anger became his only emotion.
After flying to the area where the Blacksmith Association was located.
Below, the magic-modified bulldozer was clearing the way ahead.
The huge deadweight and powerful diesel engine made the monsters unable to resist.
Whether it was the two-headed ogre, the bear goblin or the minotaur, it was difficult to use brute force to fight against this metal behemoth!
The blessing of the runes made the bulldozer more solid, and the tracked forward structure had excellent grip.
The driver of the bulldozer looked fanatical, and there were members of the Blacksmith Association guarding him.
In this scene, the reason why the drivers did not show any fear was because before setting off, Johnson Iron Furnace fed them a fanatic potion.
This can make them forget their fear and join the battle without hesitation.
It doesn't matter if they don't speak the language. Chen Xuan had already explained it to them in advance before handing over the tank to the Blacksmith Association.
At this time, they only need to judge the situation and cooperate according to the actual situation.
Two Type 69Ⅱ tanks, a Type 60 bulldozer and a ZSL-92 wheeled armored transport vehicle constitute the forward force of the Blacksmith Association.
The behemoth weighing dozens of tons rushed forward, which was simply unstoppable.
The masters of the Blacksmith Association and scattered adventurers charged together, which can be regarded as the otherworldly version of infantry-tank cooperation.
The scene did not change until Ansethus arrived.
He flew in front of the bulldozer, opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth, and spewed out an attack similar to a breath.
After all, it was a mutated monster that had been baptized by dragonization, and Ancetus's attack method was somewhat similar to that of a demon dragon.
The flames that spewed out were in the form of spiral impacts, and they were also wrapped with acid, and they shot straight at the bulldozer.
In an instant, a white shield emerged, blocking the breath.
This shield was stronger than the magic shield activated by jewelry.
The Blacksmith Association seemed to have installed a small magic shield generator on the bulldozer.
But even so, this shield only lasted for a few seconds.
The surging flames splashed everywhere, and as long as they were touched a little bit, both the monsters and the natives of Naroa would immediately let out a painful wail.
When the shield was broken, the breath continued.
The driver raised the bucket to block the cab.
The flames hit the metal bucket strengthened by runes, and a brief stalemate appeared again.
However, the flames were visibly melting through the thick bucket, and the acid was also continuously corroding.
The bucket was burned red, and the heat and acid corrosion took effect simultaneously, and holes appeared on the bucket.
Under such circumstances, it was quickly burned through by the breath.
Then, the flames hit the cockpit.
The roaring metal behemoth stopped!
