Just as Gwen had predicted, the collapse of the cliff and the landmines alone could not completely wipe out the monsters.
Of course, if he had more depth, a bigger minefield, and more powerful explosive crystals, it would not be impossible. After all, the monsters had no brains, and as long as there were enough landmines, they would simply trample them all and take to the skies en masse. But anything else would be futile if the conditions were not met.
There were still some monsters who were lucky — or rather, they simply charged through all the explosives and roared as they charged forward.
At this point, any hesitation and fear would vanish. The warriors had already stretched their nerves to the limit, and in the instant that the order was given, the shadows of swords and blades would flash as they engaged in a hand-to-hand combat that could not be avoided.
The shouts of men and the roars of monsters blended into one.
It was the second time they had clashed.
The last time, it was in the Cecil Region that had been burned down by the dragon flames. The warriors were equipped with crude steel equipment, using weapons that did not contain any magic to face the mutants that were almost invulnerable and had outstanding recovery abilities. But this time, they were equipped with extraordinary equipment left behind by the ancient civilization. They were protected by shields, enchanted longswords and spears, while the enemies before them had been blown to smithereens.
Although this was a simple and crude camp, the real situation was much better than the last time.
As soon as the battle started, the experienced veterans had already realized this. Their equipment performed exceptionally well in the face of the pressure caused by the aberrations. The humans were no longer suppressed by the aberrations. Instead, they were able to fight head-on. Therefore, after a slight tremor, the defense line immediately stabilized and even began to push back the aberrations that had rushed out of the minefield.
Byron and Knight even had to shout from the back, "Don't go too far! Don't go over the fence — be careful of falling into the trap! "
Gwen casually cut down a charred mutant and noticed that there was no suspense in the battle. Even without his help, the two Knight and the soldiers in the camp were enough to finish off all the enemies.
So he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn back to check on Rebecca when he suddenly noticed that a dozen mutants on the east side of the battlefield had stopped in their tracks while charging toward the defense line. The faceless flesh giants seemed to have smelled something as they suddenly raised their heads and "looked" in a certain direction.
Then, they actually ran in that direction, completely ignoring the nearby guards that were full of magic reactions!
Gwen was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized what was in that direction: it was the tent where the "dragon egg" was kept!
They had sensed the presence of the "dragon egg"? The "dragon egg" was even more attractive to them than living people and magic reactions?!
Gwen suddenly had these conjectures in his mind, and this unexpected situation made him break out in a cold sweat. He immediately shouted at Rebecca, "Bring your guards and follow me!"
After that, without waiting for Rebecca to respond, he had already run toward the tent where the stone balls were kept.
Of course, there were guards around the tent, but due to the shortage of manpower and the fact that the mutants were easily attracted by the presence of humans and magic, most of the combat forces were concentrated on the defense line in the southwest of the camp. Only a small group of soldiers were left around the "dragon egg tent", and they were just new recruits who had just completed their training. With their combat strength, there was no way they could stop the monsters.
Soon, the mutants had crossed the short distance. The soldiers around the dragon egg tent had already seen this scene from afar. At this moment, they were frantically trying to set up a formation to meet the attack, but they seemed to be at a loss.
One of the militiamen leveled his spear with trembling hands and feet, trying to recall a few simple actions to fight back against the enemy that he had memorized with great difficulty two days ago. At this moment, the sound of cloth being torn came from behind him.
At first, the militiaman did not dare to look away from the Aberrations, but he could not help but want to look back. In the end, he could not hold back his curiosity and quickly turned his head back. The moment he turned back, his eyes widened.
He saw that a dozen meters away, the tent flap that was originally tied to the tent had been torn open, and a huge stone ball about 1.5 meters in diameter was poking its head out from between the two flaps. In the next second, he noticed that the stone ball was actually floating in the air!
Thinking of the strange characteristics of the stone ball, the militiaman immediately clenched the weapon in his hand. But this time, the stone ball did not have any intention of attracting the surrounding metal. After it came out of the tent, it swayed left and right, and then a metallic screech came from the stone ball. "Oh my God, what is this?!"
It seemed to have "seen" the aberrations that were charging towards it.
The militia who were in charge of guarding the tents had noticed the movement of the stone orb. The monster that was charging towards them from afar and the stone orb that was making a weird noise behind it had thrown these newly armed and trained new recruits into a state of confusion. Even their captain didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of them. But at this moment, they saw a tall figure wrapped in a faint white light rapidly approaching from another direction.
It was Gwen, who had activated Knight's Charge. And behind Gwen was Rebecca and a small team of family warriors.
Gawain saw the stone orb floating at the entrance of the tent from afar. This strange scene almost made him stumble as he charged forward. Following that, he heard the stone orb emit a shrill voice. "Help! Monster! What is this?! "
So this thing can make a sound?!
At this time, Gwen did not have the time to analyze the theory of the damn "dragon egg". He decided to give up thinking in this strange situation. Then he exerted force on his feet, jumped high, and activated one of Knight's signature skills, Champion's Slash.
His entire body was enveloped by a blinding white light in the air. His longsword suddenly burned with a thousand-degree energy flame. Then, like a meteor, he fell from the sky and slashed the head of a monster ruthlessly.
The flesh giant was hit directly by the Champion's Slash and was instantly split into two. The two halves of the body were burned into ashes by the high temperature before they could completely separate. The remaining shockwave of the slash continued to move forward, leaving a deep trench.
The mutants around were temporarily disturbed by Gwen's sudden burst of powerful energy. They hesitated for a moment in confusion. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gwen quickly shouted at the stone ball in the distance. "Quickly hide! There are monsters outside! "
"Oh my God!" The stone ball screamed. "It's just a tent that can be blown down by a gust of wind. What's the use of hiding?"
Gawain abruptly dodged to the side, dodging the sharp claws of a mutant and stabbing out with his sword. At the same time, a fireball the size of a washbasin flew less than half a meter away from him, blowing up another mutant that was trying to sneak attack him. Half of its body was blown away.
Gwen took advantage of the situation to finish off the mutant that had lost its balance. From the corner of his eye, he saw Rebecca had arrived at the edge of the battlefield under the protection of the soldiers. She raised her left hand high, and another huge fireball formed in her hand. Then she threw the fireball upward, grabbed the staff with both hands, and swung it in half a circle. Bang! The fireball was sent flying. "Ancestor! I'll help you restrain them! "
Girl, there's clearly something wrong with your practice of fireball!
But Gwen did not have time to ask Rebecca how she practiced her fireball because he noticed that the mutants running at the front were very close to the tent and the stone ball. A militia mustered up the courage to stab at the enemy with his spear, but he was hit by a chaotic energy arrow from another mutant in the distance. His whole body was blown away, but there was still a glimmer of light on his shield. He should not be dead yet.
The stone ball, which was floating in the air less than half a meter above the ground, screamed in fear. It quickly scurried around, trying to avoid the Aberrations that were charging at it from all directions. But in front of ten times the number of enemies, the space for it to dodge was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, there was no place for it to hide. The stone ball could only let out a screech mixed with the sound of metal, and then it floated up more than ten meters.
Gwen thought that this guy was going to fly away, but he did not expect it to lose its momentum halfway and fall like a meteor.
With a loud bang, one of the monsters below the stone ball was hit in the head. The unlucky mutant didn't even have time to make a sound before it was smashed into the ground. The entire pit had sunk at least a meter.
Just like when it sucked in the three soldiers, even Gwen could not move the stone ball at all. This was its true weight.
Not only was Gwen stunned, but even the stone ball itself was stunned.
But the surrounding monsters were not stunned. They could only sense that their prey was in front of them, so the moment the stone ball landed, they pounced again.
The stone ball let out another scream and tried to launch itself into the sky again, but it failed again and smashed another enemy into the ground.
Gwen waved the Pioneer's Sword in his hand and suddenly felt that there was no need for him to rush over to save the situation.
Even if it was the end of the world, this crazy guy would still be fine.
The soldiers and the militiamen who stayed around the tent could only watch this slightly funny scene with strange expressions. The stone ball, which looked like a dragon egg, screamed in horror and smashed the attacking monsters to death on the ground one by one. The brainless mutants threw themselves into the hot ground one by one like the Calabash Brothers waiting in line to save their grandpa. When there were only three monsters left, Gwen suddenly noticed that the stone ball's "flight" had become less than two meters high. He immediately pulled out his sword and finished off the last enemy.
The stone ball, which had smashed a dozen mutants to death, slowly floated out of the pile of monsters. It was floating only a dozen centimeters above the ground, obviously exhausted. After confirming that there were no more enemies around, it finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh my god, that scared me."
