Of course, Luci didn't know where the swarm had gone.
In fact, even Yami, who was the Spider Empress, didn't know. At this time, Yami was lying on the thick back of the giant spider and sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. Although she was the master of the arachnid nest, her control over the arachnids was far from strict. Apart from the mobilization of a few special arachnids that needed to be alerted, the mobilization of the other arachnids was supervised and distributed by the elder arachnids in the swarm. The elder arachnids were what Yami called them, and those spiders were highly intelligent in the entire arachnid nest. They looked like a tarantula carrying a snail's shell on its back, with a cluster of fleshy whiskers under its mouth and jaw that looked like a beard. The elder arachnids weren't good at fighting. When they encountered danger, they would retract themselves into their shells to defend passively. However, their intelligence was very high, and they were enough to share the general tasks for Yami.
At this moment, three kilometers east of their temporary camp, a group of servant spiders suddenly lost contact. Servant spiders were the lowest spider species in the arachnid group. Their identity, as their name indicated, was to serve the entire arachnid group. During the march, the servant spider also served as a scout. Of course, you can't expect these arachnids, who have almost no combat strength, to participate in the battle. At best, they can only be cannon fodder. However, there were many of them, and if they were spread around the camp, it would be a natural warning net. Once the servant spider was attacked, they would let out a warning sound that only the elder spider could hear.
Although the elder spider did not receive a warning sound this time, the group of servant spiders also did not give back their news at the scheduled time, so the elder spider mobilized a group of arachnids to find out the reason. This group of arachnids was mainly led by three throwers, plus a group of tarantulas and sword spiders. Soon, the arachnids arrived at the area where the missing servant spider was in charge. A thrower easily found the corpses of a few servant spiders on the pile of snow.
Those spiders seemed to have been burned by fire, and all of their feet were retracted, and their bodies had traces of charred marks.
The green firefly's eyes rolled and let out a cry that only the arachnids could understand. The arachnids were about to turn around. Suddenly, a few tarantulas let out a hissing sound. The thrower turned around and saw a fiery red exotic beast pouncing on the tarantulas. This strange beast had the head of a ferocious beast, with human-like arms on its forelimbs and hooves on its hind legs. It had a long curved horn on its head, and there was a flame on its head. Its entire body was emitting a fiery aura.
It silently tore a few tarantulas into pieces in the blink of an eye, and then let out a provocative roar towards the person throwing the net.
The catcher opened his mouth, revealing a dense circle of nest teeth. The six green eyes on his head lit up at the same time, and the remaining tarantulas and sword spiders swarmed forward. The fiery red exotic beast pounced over without a sound, its strong arms clenched into fists. First, he punched the head of the Sword Spider. Immediately, the head of the Sword Spider blossomed and its legs twitched. Following that, he caught another tarantula and tore it apart with both hands. The blood of the tarantula spilled everywhere, and the dead tarantula was casually thrown to the ground.
At this time, a few smaller Sword Spiders jumped onto the strange beast's body and used their two sharp sword-like legs to stab into the strange beast, immediately injuring it. However, it didn't roar like an ordinary ferocious beast. Instead, it silently grabbed back with both hands, grabbing a Sword Spider and directly crushing it. Seeing that the spiders had suffered heavy casualties, the catcher immediately opened his mouth and spat out a thread of spider silk from his mouth.
The spider silk spread out in the wind and turned into a large net that landed on the exotic beast's body. The spider silk was dripping with green poison, and the liquid from the poison sac in the catcher's body made the spider silk extremely corrosive. Not only was the body of the exotic beast sizzling from the spider silk, even the few Sword Spiders were burned by the poison silk to the point of green smoke, and the stench was unbearable.
The Sword Spiders squeaked, but the exotic beast still didn't make a sound. The flames on its head suddenly flourished, and the exotic beast opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames at the catcher. Just as the catcher was about to retract the net, the exotic beast spat out flames from its mouth and was immediately swept away by the flames. The spider's body immediately ignited. It let out a sharp cry and no longer cared about retracting its net. It crashed into the nearby snow pile.
However, before it could crash into the snow pile, the catcher was burned to death. Its corpse was still crackling in the flames.
When the exotic beast broke free from the spider web, its expression was sluggish. Suddenly, two more poisonous webs landed on its body. It turned around and saw that the last two catchers of the swarm of arachnids were standing on one side, continuously spitting out poisonous webs to trap them. A moment later, the exotic beast was wrapped in layers of spider webs and stopped moving. The two catchers pulled the cocoon back and reported what had happened here.
The Elder Spider personally untied the cocoon and saw the corpse of the exotic beast. In the end, it chose not to disturb Yami, who was sleeping soundly. Moreover, it was a shameful thing to kill such a wild beast with the help of a group of Sword Spiders and Tarantulas. However, if the Elder Spider knew that such an exotic beast was not a creature from the Forgotten Realm, it would probably make the opposite judgment. So sometimes, being too smart might not be a good thing.
The exotic beast that had been killed was naturally the Fire Horned Demon.
Bai Xicheng was two days away from the arachnids. Normally speaking, the connection between Hillon and the Fire Horned Demon could not be maintained over such a long distance. However, Hillon formed them into groups, each team responsible for a designated area. When the team left the contact area, the Fire Horned Demon was asked to send a message with a shout.
Not long after the Fire Horned Demon was taken away by the catcher, two other Fire Horned Demons appeared at the battle site. They walked around the battlefield, and then one of the Fire Horned Demons let out a dull roar. A moment later, another roar sounded from the snow two kilometers away. Then, the roar continued and quickly sent the news back to Bai Xicheng.
Hillon, who had been standing on the city walls of Bai Xicheng like a sculpture for several days and nights, received the news and two red lights lit up under his helmet. Then, the monarch pulled out the giant sword that was stabbed into the ground and strode down the city wall, heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Trisley finally saw Allen.
Allen and Bai were eating, and their tables were piled with mountains of food. Allen hadn't eaten since he locked himself in his room, and so had Bai. Now the two of them were eating quickly and more. When Trisley came in, there was already a pile of empty dishes on the table. Lola, who was beside her, smiled helplessly and reminded Allen that Trisley had arrived after the small mountain of food.
Allen stood up, his mouth bulging, and he didn't know how much he had stuffed in. He said vaguely, "Trisley, I heard that Graytown was attacked. Tell me what happened."
"Yes, Master." Trisley stroked her forehead and said, "Why don't I wait for you to finish first?"
"No need." Allen swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a tissue beside him, patted his stomach and smiled, "I'm done. Tell me."
Trisley nodded and relayed the news she had heard from the refugees in Graytown. Then, she reminded, "The refugees also mentioned spiders, and there were quite a few of them. That's what I care about the most. Luci doesn't have the habit of keeping spiders, let alone bringing out an army of spiders. "
"Spiders" Allen said, "That doesn't sound like a pleasant thing."
At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded from outside the door, and Hillon pushed the door open and entered. The monarch knelt on one knee and placed his sword flat on the ground. He lowered his head to Allen and said, "Your Highness, I just received news. There is an army coming towards us from the snowy plains to the west. "
"It must be Luci!" Trisley said.
Allen looked at Hillon and said, "Take back the Firehorned Demon, Hillon. We have to prepare for battle. "
"I'll do it now."
After Hillon left, Allen asked, "What abilities does Luci have that are noteworthy?"
Trisley narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment. "As far as I know, Luci has made a pitiful few moves. In fact, big shots like Luci rarely participate in battles in the Great Wastelands. They were more used to using their armies and their subordinates to solve problems. If they couldn't solve it, they would move the battlefield to the negotiating table. A few years ago, Luci and the Fanatics attacked Blood Eye's territory, which was already a special case. But even so, Luci still didn't make a move. "
"I know very little about Luci. I only know that Luci has an ability called the White Domain, which is a domain-type ability. However, this ability is only used by him to clean up miscellaneous soldiers. It is completely useless against experts above Level 30. "
Allen shrugged and said, "Well, looks like I can't gather any information. Then let's wait for him to deliver himself to me. We'll know when the time comes. "
Seeing Allen's relaxed expression, Trisley couldn't help but remind him, "Master, don't think of Luci as an opponent on the level of Blood Eye. Luci's combat strength is definitely above Azes's. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, many rumors point out that Luci's true abilities are extremely powerful and terrifying. "
"I'm not arrogant, Trisley." Allen smiled and said, "It's just that if Luci uses my battle with Azes as a reference, then he will be quite surprised."
"Since you said so …" Trisley nodded and said, "Then I'll go down and make some preparations. I won't be able to deal with Lucian, but I can share some of the burden with his subordinates. "
Over the next two days, the people of Bai Xicheng could feel a sense of oppression before a storm. Hillon gathered the scattered troops, and groups of Fire Horned Demons gathered at the city gate. When they gathered, it was as if there was a sea of fire burning beneath the city. On the evening of the second day, the cry of some kind of bird sounded in the sky above Bai Xicheng. When people raised their heads, they saw some fiery red shadows circling above the city.
That was the new flying unit of Mitinus, the Fire Falcon.
