They were mutants that Gwen Cecil had never seen before. Even in the Gondor wasteland 700 years ago, Gwen Cecil had never seen such a mutant before. There were four of them, and they were two to three times the size of normal mutants. Their limbs were swollen, and there were bony spurs on most of their joints. At the same time, each bony spur was surging with an unknown black and red electric arc. Especially on their backs, the bony spurs even formed a structure like parallel rails. As the four giant mutants roared, the electric arc on the bony spurs suddenly expanded. The next second, Gwen saw four huge lightning bolts suddenly blasted towards the wall!
It was an attack form that he had never seen before, and the attack range was beyond his expectations.
Gwen was shocked, but his body reacted instinctively. He infused magic into his longsword, and the Pathfinder's Sword burst out in a dazzling white light. He swung the longsword continuously, and two shockwaves collided with two of the black and red lightning bolts. Not far from the middle of the wall, an arcane lightning bolt suddenly lit up and blasted away the third lightning bolt. It was from the direction where Kamel was.
The fourth bolt of black and red lightning missed the bottom of the wall, and with a loud bang, a large amount of dust and gravel burst out from the base of the wall.
After the sudden attack, the four Aberrations did not continue to release their lightning bolts. Perhaps it was because such an attack required a lot of energy and they could not use it continuously. The lightning bolts on the bone spurs on their backs weakened slightly. Then, the monsters straightened their bodies and turned their faceless heads towards the city wall. A series of muddy roars came from their bodies, and the army of Aberrations behind them seemed to have been stimulated by something. All of a sudden, they became excited and began to charge with an astonishing momentum.
As mentioned in the report, the mutants around the mutants would be strengthened by an unknown mechanism. Whether it was their desire to attack or their speed, they had a significant increase!
"Catapults, continue to fire!" Byron and Knight roared. "Grenadiers, continue to fire! Focus on the giant monsters! "
Large and small explosions began to explode in the army of mutants. The soldiers responsible for throwing the crystal grenades were selected from various squads with amazing arm strength. Even so, it was difficult for them to throw the grenades at the feet of the giant monsters that were still far away. Only the range of the catapults was enough. But after a round of bombardment, Gwen could not help but frown.
The accuracy was too low, and the firing speed was too low as well.
A dozen bombs exploded on the battlefield. Although they tried their best to aim at the four mutants, the poor accuracy of the catapults caused every explosion to land far away from the monsters. After a round of bombardment, the ordinary mutants were indeed shattered, but the real enemies were still running on the battlefield intact.
"Continue to fire!"
The squads operating the catapults tightened the winches and reloaded as fast as they could because they knew the Achilles heel of the catapults. Not only were their accuracy poor, their firing speed was slow, and their range was almost fixed. Even if they adjusted the winches and arms to roughly change the range, they could not attack enemies that were too close to them. As for the mutants... their speed was getting faster and faster under the influence of the giant monsters. Soon, all of them would exceed the range limit.
In the second round of attack, a crystal bomb finally hit its target. A large mutated monster was hit squarely by the bomb. Along with the shocking explosion, filthy flesh and bone fragments were scattered all over the battlefield. In the process, more monsters continued to approach the wall.
The catapults had stopped firing. At this distance, they could no longer be effective. The squads operating the catapults quickly retreated from the outer tower to the wall. They opened the safety of the thermal ray guns and began to prepare to deal with the monsters that had begun to climb the wall.
At this time, there were not many monsters left. The soldiers on the wall had enough thermal ray guns and molten swords — if the remaining three giant monsters did not exist.
They were intelligent, or at least had the ability to think. This was the shocking conclusion that Gwen came to in a short period of observation.
Normal mutants would react instinctively when they were stimulated by magic or the aura of living humans. They were even less cunning than wild beasts, so humans could always use tactics and traps to deal with them. However, the large mutants … Just from the fact that they did not charge together with the humans was already a shocking performance.
More importantly, they seemed to be able to slightly control the ordinary Aberrations as cannon fodder. It was because of the existence of the four large Aberrations that the Aberrations' attack was divided into two waves. The second wave of attack was held back by the four monsters until now.
The operation was simple, but no matter how simple it was, it was still a prototype of a tactic.
Gwen raised the longsword in his hand slightly. He looked at the three giant monsters and was ready to deal with them himself.
This wave of attacks could be defended. Although there were some variables, the strength of the Cecil Battle Army still firmly suppressed the monsters. Currently, the mutants that had rushed to the bottom of the walls were dying under the concentrated attacks of the crystal grenades and heat rays. Not a single enemy was able to climb up the walls, and the soldiers didn't even use their molten swords.
But the mutants that seemed to have developed some thinking ability were very unsettling. They had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
But just as Gwen was about to act, the three mutants also began to move. They had rushed to a position very close to the wall under the cover of the cannon fodder. At this moment, they suddenly bent down, and the bone spurs on their backs once again flashed with dense black and red electric arcs!
Kamel, who was in charge of guarding the middle section of the wall, immediately opened a magic barrier to protect the wall under his feet. At the same time, he began to prepare a powerful arcane spell. But before the attack was launched, he suddenly felt a change in the magic field around him, which made him stop in shock.
The magic field that shrouded the wall and supported by the magic obelisks suddenly sped up. A huge amount of magic was converging in a certain direction. Kamel looked in that direction and saw that the iron-headed little girl had climbed to the highest tower and raised her staff high.
A fireball almost the size of the city gate was rapidly forming above the little girl, and it was getting bigger.
Even Gwen felt the amazing flow of magic. He looked back in horror and broke out in cold sweat. What did Rebecca do?!
The fireball as big as the city gate had now formed and became brighter as the magic power filled it. Its color gradually turned from red to yellow and white. Rebecca, who was below the fireball, was full of excitement. She was wearing a strange metal belt, and the metal plates were emitting eye-catching magical light. The magic staff in her hand was like a lit sun torch, bursting with dazzling light. After realizing that she had finally made the biggest fireball in history, Rebecca was as excited as a naughty child who was about to be hung on the beam by her ancestors and aunt. She even shouted with all her might, "Ancestor! Look at what I made! "
Gwen's roar resounded throughout the battlefield. "Quickly throw it out!"
"Okay!" Rebecca shouted, and then began to move the magic staff in her hand with all her might. The fireball was not big, but the surge of magic power made the staff in her hand seem to be attracted by a magnet. It was extremely difficult to move it. A normal mage would have started to despair at this moment. A weak mage would not be able to push the huge fireball out, and would only be smashed into pieces by the severe magic overload. But was Rebecca a normal mage?
After realizing that it did not move, Rebecca withdrew her strength and used the same strength that she had when she passed the family trial. With a "Hey!", the fireball as big as the city gate floated in the direction of the battlefield under the horrified gazes of countless people.
Even monsters with low thinking ability could feel the terrible power from the fireball. The three mutant monsters, who had intended to destroy the city wall at close range, abruptly withdrew the half-charged Lightning Strike when they saw the fireball. Then, they did something that normal mutants would not do.
They turned around and fled.
Gwen was finally completely sure that these large mutant monsters had the ability to think.
At this moment, Rebecca's super big fireball had landed on the battlefield. It landed behind the three mutant monsters who had turned around and fled. In the first second, it just fell calmly, like a red-hot iron ball falling on cheese, melting the ground and vaporizing the surrounding monsters. But a second later, the unstable magic energy inside finally erupted.
With a deafening roar, a small mushroom cloud slowly rose in front of the southern wall of Cecil.
The remaining monsters on the battlefield were almost all turned into ashes after the attack.
Looking at the slowly rising mushroom cloud, Rebecca's face showed a sincere smile. She suddenly felt that her "way of the fireball" seemed to be a good way to go.
The big fireball could protect everyone and bring about miracles.
Then the girl, who had squeezed her mental strength dry with the big fireball, fell straight down.
On the city wall, most of the people had yet to recover from the shock of the earth-shattering explosion.
Gwen had already seen Rebecca fall, but beside him, a dark shadow quickly rushed up the tower. It was Amber. With Amber looking after him, he was relieved and turned to look in the direction of the battlefield.
Not far ahead, a hideous and ugly hand suddenly stretched out from the edge of the city wall. Then, under the gaze of many people, the last surviving mutant of the battle finally climbed up the wall.
