  Chapter 805 794. Battle of Plantos Town 4

   Thunder Rhino was near the exit of the square in front of the pass, with four bed crossbows lined up.

  The magic giant crossbow arrows shot along the way have been successfully recovered several times. After repeated use, the number of ghost pattern male ants hunted has reached an even number.

  However, this time Samira did not ask the auxiliary soldiers to put the magic giant crossbow bolts into the arrow slots, but instead installed a newly remodeled explosive giant crossbow bolts. The shafts of these crossbow bolts were tied with three bundles of black powder explosives.

  Seeing two huge thunder rhinoceros stopped at the exit on the south side of the square, thirteen ghost-striped male ants in the square made a hissing sound and launched a general attack towards the cavalry battalion with heavy armor.

  The ghost-patterned soldiers and ants around the square also overwhelmed the territory, climbing over the mountain wall densely, and swarming towards nearly two thousand cavalry.

  In the north of this square is the tens of meters high city wall built by Prantos Town. There is only one passage under the city wall, but this passage is still blocked. Almost all the ghost-striped red ants climb over from the city wall. It is hard to imagine how those huge ghost-striped male ants crawled over.

  The cavalry blocked the southern exit of the square in front of the pass, and there were steep cliffs on both sides. The ghost-striped red ants here were so dense that they trampled on each other.

  Samera stood on the platform on the back of Thunder Rhino, holding a torch in his hand.

  Under the firelight, Samira's slender body looked a bit weak, but none of the veterans in the cavalry battalion dared to underestimate her. The captain of the archers team was simply a harvester of merit on the battlefield.

After the two commanders Intas and Hampton rushed into the town of Plantos, they were transferred to the middle of the team to rest due to exhaustion. Now everyone is standing in front of the square at the pass, pretending to be fighting to the death with the ghost-striped red ants The posture, the two need to stand up and coordinate their own cavalry battalion.

  It is dusk now, and the sky has dimmed.

  Once entering the night, the ghost-striped red ants are more active than during the day. They are the kind of magical beasts that like to hide at night.

Everyone knows that if the pass in Prantos Town cannot be captured now, the red ants will become even crazier at night. By then, the cavalry battalion will have to find a place to rest. If there is no place of refuge suitable for rest, Then it means that the cavalry battalion will withdraw from the town of Plantos, and once it reaches that point, it means that all the efforts made during the day will be in vain.

   Both Intas and Hampton knew that along the way, almost all the cavalry under Suldak were leading the rhythm of the attack.

  The 7th and 9th Cavalry Battalions are all supporting from the side. Now that they are in the stance of a decisive battle, the two feel that they can't continue to be cowardly, so they rush forward with a group of elite cavalry.

It's just that this time Suldak squinted his eyes calmly instead of rushing out recklessly at the first time. Seeing that the two commanders Intas and Hampton also came forward with the elite regiment, he stretched out his hand The two commanders stopped.

Not only them, even Andrew, who was promoted to be a second-rank fighter, retreated cautiously. Seeing that he was covered in brown blood sticky, he didn't know how many ghost-patterned soldiers ants were killed to make it like this. His primary magic pattern structure is almost on the verge of being scrapped, and he doesn't even blink his eyes, it's really arrogant...

  Standing on the platform, the three bed crossbow operators put the torches on the arrow shafts of the giant crossbow bolts under Samira's signal. In the dusk, a flash of fire ignited the fuze tied to it, and the sparks were particularly conspicuous in the dim light.

   "What is this?" Commander Umpton was the first to react, looking up at the sparks on Thunder Rhino's back.

Suldak looked a little complacent, and said with a smile: "You can understand it as a large fire scale bomb. I own a sulfur mine in Hailansa, so I have always had a close relationship with the firearms workshop in Constantinople. For business, they gave me something newly developed, these fireworks."

   "Tonight, we will hold a large fireworks display in the town of Plantos."

  Four giant crossbow arrows across the sky...

   "You two need to lead your elite cavalry to help me block those ghost-striped red ants rushing up from the town, and cover your ears..."

  Suldak reminded loudly, covering the horse's ears with both hands immediately.

   "Boom..."

   "Boom boom boom..."

  The continuous cracking sounds were like rolling thunder above the head, and in an instant, two ghost-striped male ants were blown into the sky in the ant colony.

   Instant Fryer of ghost pattern red ants in the whole square.

  The cavalry in the front row threw the fire scale bombs in their hands at the same time, and a series of explosions drove back the ghost-striped red ants like a wave.

  Even the two thunder rhinos neighed, and the entire pass shook violently amidst the sound of explosions.

  Samira raised her hand again, pulled the crossbow strings, and loaded the giant crossbow bolts in one go.

Before these ghost-striped red ants recovered from the explosion, four giant crossbow bolts tied with explosives pierced the dusk sky again, and shot through several ghost-striped male ants in the ghost-striped ant colony. The moment the male ant was about to use the giant pincers to pinch off the giant crossbow, the giant crossbow was detonated again.

  There was chaos in the smoky square.

  The ghost ant queen floating on the top of the city wall disappeared again.

  A group of heavy cavalry lined up on the edge of the square, holding five-meter-long knight spears in their hands, and launched a continuous charge towards the ghost-striped red ants on the square.

Intas and Hampton were also among them. They saw that under the detonation of the fire scale bomb, more than half of the thirteen ghost-striped male ants arranged neatly were killed, and the remaining few were also stumped and broken. Wrapped in a layer of flames, he rolled in embarrassment in the square.

  The cavalry rushed up to meet the ghost pattern soldier ants. No one cared about the acid they spewed. Intas, Hampton, Gallatin and others led the cavalry to the bottom of the wall in one go, and turned their horses to charge back again.

  Before night fell, the cavalry around the square lit hundreds of torches, illuminating the place as bright as day.

  At this moment, under the leadership of Andrew, some veterans of the first rank rushed up the pass wall along the steps and successfully recovered the north pass of the lost Prantos town.

A group of veterans quickly occupied the bed crossbows on the city wall. For the veterans stationed in Dodan Town, they trusted these bed crossbows very much, and they just waited for the shooters on Thunder Rhino to come and receive them. The killer of tattooed soldier ants.

  There are still a few catapults on the edge of the square that have not been completely destroyed. The veterans of these cavalry battalions repaired them quickly, and soon threw the flints on the stone shelf next to the catapult onto the mountain road north of the pass...

   Just after nightfall, Surdak's cavalry reoccupied the mountain pass in Prantos town.

   A bonfire was lit at the top of the city, and three green magic flares slowly flew into the night sky.
