Struggle in the Steam Age

"Where did the other party come from now?" When Lawrence said that the enemies were about to approach again, everyone panicked at first, but since the members of the team were basically veterans, they quickly calmed down. Then a paladin belonging to the goddess of the earth asked Lawrence.

"In all directions," Lawrence said, "because my life-constructing friend couldn't see through the fog in front of us to see things behind, but she found that there were a lot of things moving along the mountains around us. The interior of the mountain is fast approaching us, and these things are somehow hostile to us."

"In all directions?" After hearing Lawrence's words, the paladin just thought about it for a while and then decisively asked everyone to retreat. Although Lawrence was the temporary commander of this team, when it came to directing the battle, he had to go to battle experience. Richer paladins conduct on-the-spot command.

For example, the paladin just thought about it and made a decision to let everyone exit the cave, because when facing these enemies who can move from the mountain, their current position is obviously very unfavorable for the battle of. Rather than being besieged from all sides here, it is better to retreat to an open place outside.

"How did you come out now? Has the matter been resolved? Then your actions this time are still fast enough." It took less than 1/5 of the time to enter, and Lawrence and the others exited the cave, and then just When I met the druid who was leading his teammates to establish a defensive line at the entrance of the cave, the druid was obviously a little confused about why Lawrence and the others only entered the cave in such a short time and then came out again.

"Actually, we didn't even meet the enemy, let alone see the appearance of the enemy." Lawrence, the captain, scratched his hair helplessly and said, "But the problem is, there are some people in the cave who can enter the stone cave. The monsters advancing in the wall, if we don’t come out, we will definitely be besieged by enemies from all directions, so we can only come out.”

"So that's it, then hurry up and get ready for defense." As a transcendent with not weak actual combat experience, the druid immediately understood what happened. As a druid, he saw There have been a large number of magical creatures in nature, and many of them are good at advancing normally in places that intelligent creatures can't think of.

So he immediately brought his subordinates together with Lawrence and the others to prepare, because he didn't know what the enemy's situation was like for the time being. So in desperation, everyone can only take out various defensive methods as much as possible and start to arrange at the entrance of the cave, preparing to meet the enemies who are about to emerge from the inside of the mountain.

In just a few minutes, the vines of some fast-growing plants quickly grew and covered the entire mountain wall under the influence of magic. At the same time, various traps were passively placed around the entrance of the cave. Infantry guns were also re-directed to aim at the hole.

Considering the huge number of enemies that Lawrence and the others had perceived before, in addition to these preparations, they also summoned some existences that were just enough to serve as human shields as much as possible. For example, the various golems carried by the priests and paladins of the Church of Fortune, and the treants and earth and stone puppets summoned by the Church of Agriculture on the spot.

"They are here, the number exceeds 8,000." Just when everyone reluctantly set up a line of defense, Nora suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, and at the same time a large number of silver-green silk threads shot out from her body and covered the cave entrance. A few seconds later, almost everyone at the scene heard a rustling sound coming from the cave or even the inside of the mountain

"Hold on, 30 meters—" Lawrence shouted. When retreating just now, he placed a series of paper figurines in the cave at intervals. , and as these paper figurines were destroyed one by one by the enemies that poured out, Lawrence also grasped the movements of the enemies and saw the appearance of the enemies clearly.

"Insects are poisonous. At the same time, the mouthparts have the effect of breaking demons and armor." With the help of the perception of these paper figurines, Lawrence finally figured out the identities of these enemies. Some palm-sized black beetles. But the faint smell of gods revealed from the beetle let him know that it was indeed his enemy.

"Hiding under the power of another god. This is really cunning." As the worms approached, the priests present also felt from the worms that the one that existed on them belonged to another The taste of the gods. "No wonder we didn't find any trace of the Zerg prince just now."

Because of the relatively high personality, the power of the gods is as obvious as the bright moon in the night sky when exposed to any environment. It is very difficult for ordinary people, even extraordinary people, to hide the power related to the gods, and often requires various expensive materials and complicated spells to do so.

But if the power of the gods is used, then it will be very simple to hide these things. The reason why Lawrence and the others did not find the trace of the Zerg prince before is probably because the divine power of the water-related gods on the periphery covered them. His breath. If it wasn't for this time that the priests felt that any strange divine power reaction was worth checking carefully, maybe they would really have missed the target.

"Squeak—" When Lawrence found that the bugs were only five meters away from the entrance of the cave, a sharp sound like fingernails scraping glass came out of the cave and enveloped Lawrence and the others who were on full alert at the door. The moment they came into contact with these sound waves, several earth and stone puppets blocking the front line of the cave entrance immediately cracked and then shattered little by little.

At the same time, everyone who heard this voice felt a shock as if their heart had been scratched by something, making people want to vomit blood in annoyance. Obviously, as some kind of existence with divine power, these bugs have some kind of powerful attack method against the soul.

Fortunately, those few shattered earth and rock puppets stood in the front line and absorbed a large part of the attack through their own sacrifices. All the people present at the same time, whether they were priests or paladins, belonged to the kind with the toughest souls among Transcendents of the same level. So everyone just looked a little ugly before returning to the state of vigilance.

"Boom, boom, boom." Before the screaming sound stopped, hundreds of fist-sized holes exploded on the mountain. Obviously, the sonic attacks of these bugs are not only to clear away the enemies who may besiege themselves at the exit of the mountain and open up a space for them to expand, but also to loosen the earth and rocks on the mountain and let those companions who move inside the mountain They can more easily open the front road and rush out of the mountain.

After the puppets and paladins standing in the front row used their shields to block the splashing stones when those holes were blown out of the mountain, everyone saw a chilling scene: a large number of palm-sized black Insects rushed out of the cave entrance and the small openings in the mountain like a black torrent.

The magic traps arranged before were activated one by one, and various forces such as flame, frost, lightning, and gravity instantly filled the space in front of the mountain, turning this space into a forbidden zone for life in an instant.

Although it is said that these insects have the power of gods, they are more tenacious in vitality and stronger in defense than ordinary insects, and even some extraordinary insects. But these powers belonging to the gods were insignificant after being distributed on each bug, so under the killing of the trap, these bugs died one by one.

"There are too many bugs." Through the connection of the soul, the little puppet said to Lawrence with a serious face. "I could feel more bugs approaching the place."
