Chapter 171: Monster siege

Cuiping Town is not an important town like Qingfeng Town. There are only five hundred defenders. Fifty of them are magicians. They are all first- and second-level magicians. Most of the other 450 people are senior warriors.
Even if all the fighters in the city are summoned, there are only more than two hundred people. Among them, all the magicians in the magician branch, including magic apprentices, are less than 30, and most of the others are only high-level fighters and bronze fighters .
If they are not relying on the wall to defend, they are likely to be unable to withstand a wave of shock.
Although less than an hour was left for them to prepare, they were still relatively adequate. The huge bed crossbow is ready to be launched at any time. Each warrior is holding a bow and arrow, and the quiver is full of arrows with broken arrows.
Now is not the time to be stingy, the weapons and equipment in the entire combat readiness warehouse have been called up. Relying on these equipment, resisting an hour shouldn't be a problem. Within an hour, the Empire and the Wizards’ Guild would definitely send reinforcements. Fortunately, Cuiping Town is not too far from Caro City, otherwise it would be really dangerous.
After everything was ready, less than a quarter of an hour, dozens of ogre ant soldiers appeared one after another on the edge of the Mir Forest.
When everyone saw dozens of soldier ants, they did not relax their vigilance. Intelligence showed that this batch of ogre ants had vanguards to open the way, and there will be thousands of them in the future.
After these dozens of ogre ants appeared, they tried to get close to the city wall of Cuiping Town. After dropping a dozen corpses, they evacuated to the edge of the Mir Forest.
The rest of the ogre ants gathered together and seemed to be discussing. Several of them raised their heads and watched the surroundings vigilantly. After a while, these ogre ants stopped discussing, staying on the edge of the Mir Forest, and stopped rushing forward.
A few minutes later, a large number of ogre ants appeared on the edge of the Mill Forest, covering the sky and making people look at the scalp numb. Everyone would not care too much about a third-order beast, but thousands of third-order beasts would have to shock people.
Two high-ranking warriors can contend with one ogre ant, but six high-ranking warriors can never defeat three ogre ants. The more ogre ants there are, the more terrifying it becomes. It's not just that one plus one equals two. Dozens of ogre ants can easily kill ordinary Tier 5 monsters unharmed.
After the ogre ant colony appeared, they did not rush towards Cuiping Town, but surrounded Cuiping Town.
Seeing the movement of the ogre ant colony, everyone's hearts were awkward. Originally, the number of people was not dominant, and now they have to be scattered to guard all the city walls. Originally thought that it could defend for an hour, now it is a problem for half an hour depending on the situation.
Li Zhenbang was hiding not far behind the ogre ant colony, naturally seeing the current situation, and he also reported the situation to Omega in time, but after all, he could not quench his thirst.
According to the current situation, even if they persisted until the rescue arrived, the defenders on the city would have been exhausted. This was not what Li Zhenbang wanted to see.
The ogre ants outside the city were already a little unbearable, and began to approach the city wall a little bit, and the defenders on the city wall became obviously nervous.
Many soldiers who have not experienced this kind of battle have their joints holding weapons turned white due to excessive force. Even some veterans had fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Li Zhenbang released the demon from the sack of the acquired sky. The demon’s ability to the brain to obtain the knowledge in the opponent’s brain should not be wasted. Moreover, as long as there are so many ogre ants, as long as they don’t face each other, it’s impossible for the demon. What a great food!
With the dual cooperation of Li Zhenbang and the demon, after ingesting the brains of more than a dozen ogre ants, the demon could barely understand some useful information.
It turned out that the queens of this group of ogre ants were captured by humans. They followed the scent of the queens. Now the queens should be in the opposite town of Cuiping.
When Li Zhenbang heard this news, he couldn't help but frowned. How could ordinary people have the ability to the queen from the ogre ant's nest? Moreover, this ogre ant colony is much larger than the average colony.
This person can take away the queen of the ogre ant. It is absolutely not bad. Then why should he hide in Cuiping Town? He is fully capable of running farther. With his own strength, he can easily follow behind this group of ogre ants, and those who the queen shouldn’t escape!
Li Zhenbang shuddered, he thought of a possibility, but this possibility is a bit too anti-human, it makes no sense!
Li Zhenbang passed the news to Omega for the first time. Now is not the time to think about the reasons, but how to solve the current situation.
The demon has tried his best to solve the ogre ants in the back row. For it, this is not only a solution to the problem, but also a good opportunity to improve its strength.
So many Tier 3 monsters' brains, it is not always possible to encounter. However, after all, there is only one demon. In order to prevent other ogre ants from discovering it, it does not dare to go too far. It will take a certain amount of time to solve one.
The ogre ants have begun to attack the city, and now the damage of the ogre ants is still great. After all, the defender waits for work with ease, and the siege is at a disadvantage. Moreover, when the defender is full of energy, casualties over time are definitely unavoidable. Fortunately, the ogre ants do not have the ability to attack from a distance, otherwise the defender would have suffered casualties long ago.
The mayor of Cuiping Town and the president of the Magic Branch knew the news of the ogre ant queen the first time, but they had nothing to do. With their strength, even if it is to find that person, I am afraid there is no way for him. And if there is chaos in the town, I am afraid that Cuiping Town will be destroyed.
All they can do now is to block the news, defend the city with all their strength, do everything possible to guard the wall, and wait for reinforcements.
As the ogre ants attacked at any cost, casualties began to occur on the defending side. With the appearance of casualties of the defenders, loopholes began to appear in the defense. Ogre ants continued to rush on the walls, and the casualties of the defenders began to expand, and a continuous vicious circle began.
Li Zhenbang looked anxious but was helpless. His current strength was not very helpful at all. It was okay to face one or two ogre ants alone, and he couldn't stand it with more. It was not as steady and fast as the demon came.
As the number of ogre ants killed by the ogre increases, the strength of the ogre becomes stronger and stronger, and the speed of killing is obviously accelerated. The dead ogre ant looks no different from the normal one, but its head There was an extra hole, and there was no trace of brains left.
