Chapter 1313 The Storm Is Coming

Of course Lucy didn't know where the spider swarm had gone.

In fact, even Yami, who is the queen of spiders, didn't know that at this time, Yami was lying on the thick back of the giant spider with her eyes closed and fast asleep. Although she is the master of the spider nest, her control over the spider group is far from strict. Except for the mobilization of several special spider species that needs to be alerted to her, the mobilization of other spider species is supervised and distributed by the elder spiders in the spider swarm. The Elder Spider is Yami's name, and those spiders are highly intelligent in the entire spider nest. They look like a tarantula carrying a snail's shell, with a tuft of whiskers under the mouth that looks like a beard. Elder spiders are not good at fighting, and will retract themselves into their shells for passive defense when they encounter danger, but their intelligence is high enough to share general affairs for Yami.

At this moment, three kilometers east of their temporary camp, a group of spiders suddenly lost contact. Servant spiders are the lowest-ranking spider species in the spider group, and their identity, as their name suggests, serves the entire spider group. When marching, the servant spider also acts as a scout. Of course, you can't expect these spider species with little combat effectiveness to go into battle, they can only be used as cannon fodder at best. However, there are a large number of them, and spreading them around the camp is a natural warning net. Once minion spiders are attacked, they will make a sound that only elder spiders can hear to warn them.

Although the elder spider did not receive the warning sound this time, the team of servant spiders also did not report their own news within the scheduled time, so the elder spider mobilized a group of spiders to find out the reason. This group of spiders is mainly headed by three web casters, plus a mixed team of tarantulas and sword spiders. Soon the spider swarm came to the area where the missing spiders were in charge, and a web caster easily found the bodies of several spiders on the pile of snow.

Those jumping spiders seemed to have been burned by fire, their opposite feet were all closed, and their bodies had scorched marks.

The green firefly eyeballs of the net caster rolled around and made a cry that only the spiders could understand, and the spiders were about to turn around. Suddenly several tarantulas neighed, and the net caster turned around, only to see a fiery red beast pounce on those tarantulas. This strange beast has a beast-like head, with humanoid arms on its forelimbs, and cloven hooves on its two hind legs. Its head has long curved horns, and a flame is suffocating on its head, and its whole body exudes the breath of flames.

It silently tore a few tarantulas into pieces in an instant, and then Piya roared provocatively at the net caster.

The net caster opened his mouth and jaws, revealing a circle of dense nest teeth inside, and the six green eyeballs on his head lit up at the same time, and the remaining tarantulas and sword spiders around him swarmed up. The fiery red beast rushed forward without saying a word, its strong arms clenched into fists. First, a fist hit the head of the sword spider, and suddenly the sword spider's head exploded, and its opponent's feet twitched. Then he caught another tarantula and tore it left and right with both hands. The blood of the spider overflowed, and the dead tarantula was randomly thrown on the ground.

At this time, several smaller sword spiders jumped onto the strange beast, stabbing it with their two sharp opponent legs like sword blades, and the strange beast was immediately injured. But it didn't roar like a normal ferocious beast. Instead, it silently grabbed a sword spider with both hands and crushed it directly.

Seeing the heavy casualties among the spiders, the net caster opened his mouth and ejected a strand of spider silk from the mouthparts.

The spider silk spread out against the wind, turned into a big web and fell on the strange beast. The silk is dripping with green venom, and this fluid from the poison sacs in the caster's body makes the silk corrosive. Not only was the body of the strange beast sizzled by the spider silk, even the few sword spiders were smoked by the poisonous thread, and the stench was unbearable.

The sword spiders squeaked and screamed, but the strange beast remained silent. The flames on its head suddenly exploded, and the beast opened its mouth towards the net caster and sprayed out a burst of flames. Just as the net caster was about to close the net, unexpectedly, the strange beast spewed out flames, and was immediately swept away by the flames. The spider's body immediately burst into flames, and it screamed sharply. It didn't care about pulling back the web, and slammed into the nearby snowdrift.

But before he hit the snowdrift, the caster was burned, his body still crackling in the flames.

When the strange beast broke free from the spider web, its expression froze, and suddenly two more poisonous webs fell on it. It turned its head to look, and saw that the last two net casters of the spider swarm were on each side, continuously spraying out poisonous webs to catch it. After a while, the strange beast was wrapped in layers of spider webs and stopped moving. Two net casters pulled the silk cocoon back and reported what happened here.

The elder spider untied the silk cocoon and saw the corpse of the strange beast. In the end, it chose not to disturb Yami who was sleeping soundly. Besides, it was a shame to kill such a beast with a net caster dead and a team of sword spiders and tarantulas. But if the Elder Spider knew that such a strange beast was not a creature of the Forgotten Realm, it might make the opposite judgment. So sometimes, being too smart may not be a good thing.

The beast that was killed was naturally the Fire Horned Demon.

Baixi City is two days away from the spider group. Normally, the connection between Xilong and the Fire Horned Demon cannot maintain such a long distance. But Hiron organized them into formations, with each team responsible for a designated area. When the team leaves the contact area, let the fire horned devil send a message with a cry.

After the fire horned demon was taken away by the net caster, not long after, 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, and the roar continued continuously, quickly sending the news back to Baixi City.

Xilong, who stood like a sculpture on the wall of Baixi City for several days and nights, received the news, and two red lights under his helmet lit up. Then the king drew the huge sword stuck in the ground, strode down the city wall, and walked towards the city lord's mansion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Tracey finally met Allen.

Alan and Bai were eating, and there was a mountain of food piled up at their table. Alan hasn't eaten since he locked himself in the room, and neither has Bai, and now the two of them are eating fast and abundantly. When Trisley came in, there was already a pile of empty dishes on the table. Laura next to her showed a helpless smile and reminded Ellen that Trisley had come after the food on the hill.

Allen just stood up, his mouth was swollen, and he didn't know how much stuff was stuffed. He said vaguely: "Tracey, I heard that Gray Town was attacked, tell me what's going on?"

"Yes, master." Trisili stroked her forehead and said, "How about I wait for you to finish eating first?"

"No need." Allen swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a tissue next to him, patted his stomach and smiled, "I'm done eating, you can tell."

Only then did Trisili nodded, and relayed the news she heard from the refugees in Gray Town, and then reminded: "Those refugees also mentioned spiders, and there are quite a few of them. This is what I care most about, Lucy But I don’t have the habit of raising spiders, let alone bring out an army of spiders.”

"Spider..." Allen said, "That doesn't sound like a pleasant thing."

At this time, heavy footsteps sounded from outside the door, and then Xiron pushed the door open and entered. The king knelt on one knee, with the huge sword flat on the ground and bowed his head to Allen, saying, "Your Highness, I just received the news. There is an army coming towards us from the snowfield to the west."

"It must be Lucy!" Tracey said.

Allen looked at Xiron and said, "Take back the Fire Horned Demon, Xiron. We have to prepare for the battle."

"I'll do it now."

After Shiron left, Allen asked again: "What is Lucy's ability worth noting?"

Trisley narrowed her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "As far as I know, Lucy makes very few shots. In fact, big figures like Lucy in the Great Wasteland seldom directly participate in battles. They are more accustomed to using Solve it with the army and its strong men, and if it can’t be resolved, move the battlefield to the negotiating table. Like a few years ago, Lucy and his lunatics attacked Bloodeye’s territory is already a special case. But even so, Lucy still didn’t make a move.”

"I don't know much about Lucy. I only know that Lucy has an ability called the White Realm, which is a field-oriented ability. But this ability is only used for him to clean up miscellaneous soldiers. For thirty It is completely useless for those who are above the first level."

Allen shrugged and said: "Well, it seems that we can't collect information, so let's wait for him to deliver it to the door. We will know when the time comes."

Seeing Allen's relaxed expression, Trisli couldn't help reminding: "Master, don't regard Lucy as an opponent at the level of Blood Eye. Lucy's combat power is definitely higher than that of Azers, although he is not I have seen it with my own eyes, but many rumors have pointed out that Lucy's real ability is very powerful and terrifying."

"I don't care much, Trisley." Allen smiled and said, "It's just that if Lucy uses the battle between me and Azers as a reference, then he will be quite surprised by then."

"Since you've said that..." Trisley nodded and said, "Then I'll go down and make some preparations. I can't deal with Lucy anymore, but I can share some of the burden with his strong men."

For the next two days, people in Baixi City could feel a sense of oppression before the storm. Xilong gathered up the scattered troops, and groups of Fire Horned Demons gathered under the city gate. When they gathered together, there seemed to be a sea of ​​fire burning under the city. On the evening of the second day, the sky above Baixi City heard the sound of some kind of flying birds. When people raised their heads, they would see some fiery red shadows circling and flying over the city.

That is the new flying unit produced by Mitinas, the Kestrel.

The Kestrel's flight altitude can reach over several thousand meters, which ensures that they will not be easily hit by ground attacks, and it is difficult for even ordinary strongmen to hit them. Fire falcons are not purely fighting creatures, they are more used for reconnaissance, but this does not mean that they have no combat capabilities. The kestrel's wings are pure flames, they can fan out the foehn, and shake off the flame feathers, but their power is limited.
