Chapter 181: thorns

A small-scale engagement and sneak attack is obviously different from a large-scale siege of a city, and the power of the crossbow finally appeared. Although the morale of the demons is low, they will not sit still.
A feather arrow nailed a Nag that was too close to the ground, and then the second and third, with no imaginary arrows. A sharpshooter appeared on the wall of the village, showing amazing skills. This behavior evoked shouts and shouts, and the morale of the demons was also lifted.
Nag and the cannibal showed a clear difference at this time. The cannibal seemed reckless, but carefully kept a relatively safe distance.
Although the loss of a few insects is nothing to the insect swarm, it also taught them a lesson. The grass shook for a while, and the ripples swayed away. Seeing this scene, the loud cheers couldn't help but stop, and the number of insect swarms exceeded their imagination.
When night comes, rockets are thrown out from time to time in the camp, cutting through the night sky and falling into the distance, illuminating an insignificant area. Nothing happened overnight, the insect swarm was still patiently waiting, waiting for the prey in front of him to become weaker.
Ruiou is a little anxious, just a forward, the follow-up Chinese army will come soon, they can't wait. He knew that the insect swarm had wisdom, so he found a insect king and tried to persuade it to attack. But in return it was a disturbing, hard-winged friction sound.
Ruiou had no choice but to give up persuasion, and reluctantly retreated. He gathered the cannibals together, and then slowly retreated in the direction of Northland City.
The Insect Swarm has not had the experience of confronting the demon army head-on, and their only chance is to clean up the endgame created by Lily, so they still can't understand the terrible army holding one place.
Small-scale conflicts and quantitative advantages obscure many things. However, the simple wisdom of the insect swarm cannot sum up some experience in advance from the complicated calculations. They can only obtain everything they need from the lessons of blood.
They are dealing with the vanguard of the demons by means of against their vassals. They have not yet understood that the two are completely different. Although the morale of the army is low, various maintenance procedures and means to ensure combat strength are also in operation at all times.
If it is not possible to launch a thunderous offensive when the opponent's morale is low, then the advantages previously created will gradually disappear with various countermeasures.
The Insect Swarm has lost its best time to attack, and the vanguard of the Demon Race has gradually stabilized its military spirit under pressure. Now everyone knows their fate, either to die in battle and become food, or to become a sad cannibal, which makes them have to fight back.
It seems that they have sensed the changes of the demons. The insect swarm's hunting instinct made them decide to continue bleeding their prey. The battle began in the evening.
The first wave of attacks could not touch the side of the camp at all, and they all fell on the way of attack in the airtight rain of arrows. But the swarm did not shrink back, hunting is like this, once it starts, it will continue. And their numbers are still there, and a few insect kings are still there. In the angry screams of the insect swarms, they surged up like a sea.
After a few waves of arrow feathers, the Mozu found embarrassingly that their arrows were used up...
The two sides began to fight hand-to-hand, and the wall against the humanoid creatures did not play a very good blocking role when facing the insect swarm. One by one the insects easily climbed up the wall, jumped into the crowd, and disrupted the tight formation.
But they can only do this, and they haven't been able to expand much of their results. This was not an ambush on the grassland, or a sneak attack from behind, it was an upright confrontation. In this kind of confrontation, they won't take any advantage. Facing the dense military formation, they fell into a situation of fighting more with less. Even if they have countless comrades behind them, those comrades can only watch and wait. Wait for them to fall, and then fill the gap that swallows life.
The seemingly noisy and turbulent offensive did not make any effective progress, but at this time an unexpected blow came.
...
When the situation changed, the demons began to adjust, and reinforcements were dispatched in time.
An eccentric army of half men and half beasts began to help. Their lower body is like a lion like a tiger, and their upper body is human-like, covering their huge body with a leaf like fish scales, protecting their relatively fragile ribs and abdomen. During the run, the sound of bead leaf hitting and rubbing became a sound.
When the two sides fought inextricably, they rushed.
This is an elite team. It can be a ten against opponents like Nag, so the first contact with the swarm will begin to collapse.
The counterattack began. Amid the whistling of the insect swarms, the gate of the village opened wide and they cooperated with the reinforcements to start a counterattack and hunt down.
In the night, the demons fell into difficulties again after the initial indulgence. Because of the pursuit, the team gradually dispersed and gradually lost the advantage of the group.
Insect swarms did not escape as expected, they just broke into pieces again, scattered, lurked, and started desperate ambushes and sneak attacks in the dark.
They seemed to be trapped in endless thorns, and countless thorns in the darkness were constantly piercing their skin and opening their blood vessels. At first it could be tolerated, but as the injuries accumulated, the fire of life began to extinguish.
