Chapter 436 Offense and Defense(1/3)
There are many experts in the underground world who are good at climbing over walls and walls. There are many deformed monsters lurking in the darkness, and there are many ways to make yourself fly on rock walls and even upside-down domes.
Therefore, building a stronghold in the underground world is even more complicated and troublesome than in the surface world.
In the long or short history of the Spider Woman clan, it is natural that they have had the experience of being hit by the enemy's "three-dimensional offensive".
It is precisely because of this that the defense system of the spider women finally changed to the current method of using the silk of the Thousand Silk Demon Spider to completely wrap the entire nest.
The silk of the Thousand Silk Demon Spider is extremely flexible and can have multiple functions such as detection, trap, and defense at the same time. It can be said to be an extremely powerful and rare city-building resource. If it has any shortcomings, it may be that it is afraid of fire.
~
Of course, the so-called "fear of fire" does not mean that a small flame can burn down the entire Spider Girl's lair.
In order to effectively reduce the risk of fire, demon-hunting spiders often secrete some saliva on the spider silk to increase the stickiness and fire resistance of the spider silk.
Therefore, if it were ordinary mortal fire, it would basically not pose any threat to the nest system built by the Thousand Silk Demon Spider.
Perhaps it is precisely because this impregnable defense system is so excellent that today's spider girl tribe rarely has the experience of being knocked on the door, especially the nest that was overturned, even if it was the one Liu Yifei saved last time.
A small tribe of spider women whose branch stronghold was destroyed by the dungeon army was also forcibly defeated by the enemy with a huge superior force.
Ever since the Spider Woman clan developed this nesting method, let alone being attacked from the ground by the enemy, even a three-dimensional combination of rock wall hanging troops and aerial flying troops would have no chance of quietly infiltrating the Spider Woman's lair.
Medium~
Not only that, because of the sensitive reaction of spider silk and the constant vigilance and detection of the Thousand Silk Demon Spiders, it is extremely difficult even for invisible units to secretly infiltrate into the spider girl clan's lair!
However, it is precisely because this kind of comfortable life has been too long that the spider girls have developed a blind spot in their thinking. That is "no matter where the enemy comes from, they cannot bypass our nest defense"!
Once this kind of consciousness appears, it will naturally become the fatal link in the Spider Woman Clan's defensive war at critical moments!
For example~
Since the dark beetles can snake their way into the spider women's lair from "under their feet", of course they can also make the same tunnel from "over their heads"!
Of course, if only ordinary soldiers or dark beetle troops are transported, there is no need to worry too much, but when this hidden "military way" is combined with the "natural enemies" of the spider women, something like this will be born.
Apocalyptic horror scene!
The spider silk that acts as a "city wall" on the periphery of the nest is indeed not afraid of ordinary mortal fire, but the elemental flames of the elemental world are alien energy that is several times more intense and hot than mortal fire!
In previous contacts, it has been proven that the fire elemental man's attack has a huge and clear suppressive effect on the entire system of the demon-hunting spider. When the fire elemental man rushes into the spider woman's lair, it is really a disaster.
!
And when this disaster was so close, the mistress, who was struck by lightning, was so shocked that she couldn't even say a word.
The redness in the darkness spreads like blood soaking through the curtain~
Under the beating beauty, the homeland where the Spider Girl family has thrived for a long time is rapidly disintegrating!
The burning light instantly illuminated the entire empty and huge underground cave space, and countless monsters accustomed to red-hot vision and cold darkness let out all kinds of creepy screams in an instant!
The spider women screamed in fear, the slaves were commotion in confusion and terror, and with the burning home nest in the background, almost all the spider women's will completely collapsed at this moment!
When you are leaning on your home and are confidently planning to defeat the invading enemies and trying to defend the safety of your home with the heroic appearance of a victor, you suddenly look back and find that your familiar home has collapsed and turned into ashes in an instant, especially many of them.
When we meet relatives and friends who have lived together for a long time. Even the strongest warrior may not be able to withstand the impact of that moment!
The Spider Woman clan is powerful, there is no doubt about it~
However, even the most powerful warrior couldn't help but panic when he saw this moment.
battle, enemies, flames, ruined homes, enemy forces taking advantage of the situation
Everything is in chaos!
The Spider Girls had expected the beginning, but they didn't expect that the war would take such a shocking turn.
"Quiet!!!"
Just when the commotion in the team was getting louder and louder, and when it looked like the entire military formation was about to collapse, an extremely clear, loud but majestic and familiar cold drink swept across the entire place~
This is the voice of the Great Mistress!!!
All the spider heroines and the demon-hunting spiders who had just felt the same panic and commotion quieted down almost instantly, and looked uniformly towards the mysterious position in the military formation.
"Everyone, don't panic!
Keep suppressing the enemy's offensive from the front. The rest will gradually retreat towards the 'Hidden Nest'!"
The voice of the Great Mistress becomes more profound and mysterious under the blessing of phantom sound, like a master hidden behind the scenes pointing out the way forward for all the confused people.
However, people like Gregory and others who gathered around the Great Mistress discovered that the face of the Great Mistress was completely different from the calm and majestic tone in her voice!
My daughter betrayed me, powerful enemies invaded me, my home was destroyed and there were soldiers pursuing me.
Even in the long life of the great mistress, this is the biggest crisis she has ever experienced!
Even if she was the supreme ruler of her clan for a long time, facing such a major crisis that affected the life and death of the entire clan, she couldn't help but feel panic for no reason.
The calm voice is completely forced by the last bit of rationality, and if you are careful, you can also feel the complexity of the speaker's heart from the slightly chaotic breathing that spreads from the phantom sound technique~
While the mistress was speaking, the nails of her hands were already deeply embedded in the palms of her hands unconsciously.
The catastrophe of annihilation and genocide may be the scene that the great mistress is least willing to face.
However, regardless of the true mood of the Great Mistress at the moment, at least her seemingly calm command gave the rest of the people the hope and courage to continue struggling.
The main area of the Brood Nest behind is raging with fire, and it is almost impossible to get back. Even with all the efforts to rescue such a fire, it may not be possible to save it, not to mention that there are strong enemies surrounding it, ready to pounce at any time and kill the Mistress and the others in one fell swoop?
Fortunately, at this time, the main body of the Great Mistress was already in the animal pen area next to the mother's nest.
This is the only area in the entire nest that is not covered by spider silk. No matter how big the fire is, it is impossible to spread here, and right in front of the animal pen and the mother nest is what the big mistress just called the "hidden nest".
Under the central control of the Grand Mistress, the entire team began to change formations little by little. While the front line maintained offensive firepower, the center and rear formations began to slowly move toward the right front.
In the fire behind them, from time to time, some Spider Woman tribesmen rushed out of the sea of fire and flames to join the team. For these tribesmen who had almost no fighting power, the Great Mistress could not tell whether they should save or abandon them at this moment, so she simply had to let it take its course.
Naturally, when they arrived, they were allowed to follow the team and move towards the Hidden Nest.
"Your Majesty the Great Mistress~
What you call a 'hidden nest' is"
Another round of attacks returned. The Spider Woman rebels on the opposite side seemed to have noticed the intentions of the Great Mistress.
After all, they were all compatriots who had lived together for a long time, and they knew some of the secrets within the clan.
If the rebels had not been suppressed on the scene, I am afraid that they would have taken advantage of the favorable terrain to block the retreat of the Great Mistress.
And just now, Gregory led his men out in a sweeping sweep, completely scattering a group of enemy mobile flying troops, completely eliminating the opponent's idea of trying to trap the Grand Matron's troops.
"'Hidden Nest'?
That is the temple where we, the people of the King of the Cave, worship our Lord. On weekdays, only the priests of the clan can go there to decorate it.
But that place is also the last resort for our tribe when it encounters a major crisis. If we can get there, maybe we can find a way out."
"perhaps?"
After hearing the slightly unconfident introduction from the Great Mistress, the fire of soul in Gregory's eyes pulsed.
"My daughter is also one of the priests in the clan.
If her betrayal this time was premeditated, I'm afraid she must have tampered with it there."
"What?
Damn it!
Then how can you still order a retreat there?
Doesn’t this mean you’re throwing yourself into a trap?”
The blazing soul fire on the Dark Flame Bone Dragon's body was boiling and pulsing, apparently frightened by what the Great Mistress said.
"But do you have a better way?
Right now, we have no way forward and are being pursued by soldiers, and those damn Dark Beetles don't know how many reinforcements they have prepared.
Even if we can temporarily gain the advantage on the battlefield, can you guarantee that we can completely defeat the opponents in front of us before those behind us catch up?
Once surrounded by others,
Do you think we still have a choice?"
The words of the great mistress instantly left Gregory speechless~
Yes. Judging from the current situation, do they have more choices?
The bone dragon, which was like a huge blue lighthouse in the darkness, couldn't help but remain silent. Perhaps, since the first spark burst out from the red flames, the situation was already doomed.
The chaos in the Grand Matron's headquarters was quickly suppressed. However, even though they tried their best to suppress it, the counterattack force from the opposite direction of the rebels was obviously strengthened.
After the confrontation some time ago, the slave troops on the rebel side suffered a large number of losses. They were either consumed or were re-charmed and captured by the Grand Mistress Ministry with higher authority. It has to be said that the rebel group lost a certain amount of power.
After the strength bonus, the rebels will indeed suffer more if they purely use racial talents.
But is this the full strength of the rebels?
Obviously not
Amidst the high-frequency flapping of wings, a shadow suddenly danced around the edge of the battlefield.
