Chapter 204 Sacrifice
Chapter 204 Sacrifice
Before White could react to the hill-like monster in the distance, black pieces of flesh suddenly began to wriggle in the bodies of the demons lying on the ground.
Soon, the demons that were knocked to the ground stood up one after another, and black flesh grew out of the broken parts that were cut by the melting spears. The dead demons on the ground immediately turned into a mass of twisted black flesh and blood.
A varying number of hooves sprouted from beneath the black flesh, making it basically a smaller version of the monster Noam had transformed into.
As these monsters roared, a new round of attack began. The Lars knights, who had not yet recovered from the sudden change, were immediately caught off guard.
The main attack method of these black flesh and blood is to extend the tentacles and collide with the flesh. Although the moves are simple, they are powerful and strong. Moreover, these twisted black flesh and blood are still expanding. A mass of black flesh and blood transformed from a demon soldier is already taller than a fully armed knight on horseback.
Looking at the black monster rushing towards him with its mouth wide open, a knight panicked for a moment, but subconsciously raised the ray gun in his hand and fired a few melting rays, which only made a few shallow holes in the monster.
Although it is effective, it is completely unable to stop these monsters from approaching, especially when these monsters come in groups.
In a panic, the knight wanted to ride away on his horse, but was knocked down by the monsters that had resurrected from the other side. Several monsters bit off the legs of the knight's mount like unconscious corpses.
Seeing his beloved horse screaming, the knight was about to get up and break through, but suddenly his brain went blank. When he came to his senses, his left arm had been bitten off by the monster.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The bite force of these monsters is extremely strong and can easily break through the enchanted armor in just a few bites.
But the reaction of the gray-collar team was also quite quick. Faced with these changes, White immediately rode his horse to the front line to begin commanding.
The knights began to use various weapons to fight these monsters. Ordinary muskets could suppress these monsters, but unfortunately these monsters seemed to have no sense of pain and were still madly gnawing at the fallen knights.
"Get away from my companions!"
A knight picked up a melting spear and pierced through the flesh of a monster. Then he twisted the spear and began to exert force, directly cutting the monster in half.
Seeing that this method was effective, the other knights immediately followed suit. Some felt that their spears were not easy to use, so they drew out their melting swords for close combat.
But the tentacles of these monsters were also swinging wildly, constantly attacking the knights who came to rescue.
Some monsters could even use the blood magic they acquired in their previous lives to attack and defend, which put the knights in a tough battle.
White had noticed that these monsters would become stronger by gnawing on human corpses, so he immediately ordered: "Retreat, quickly! Retreat first!"
Some knights immediately obeyed the order and reined in their horses to retreat, but many knights could not bear to leave their companions who were being eaten alive and wanted to go back to rescue them. However, as more and more mutated demons appeared, those knights were soon trapped.
Fortunately, most people were able to evacuate safely.
Lowry also immediately noticed the situation on the side battlefield and turned the artillery around immediately, but Lowry was unable to give the order to fire because there were still many living knights there.
And those knights were wailing for help. Because they were professionals, their cries and requests for help were amplified through magic. The sound was extremely loud, echoing throughout almost the entire battlefield.
These monsters are like ferocious beasts that only know how to eat. They have no consciousness at all, but even professionals cannot break free from them.
At this moment, a voice covered all the screams and shouted at Lowry's position: "Fire at me, quickly!"
After this cry, the knights whose hands and feet had been bitten off finally came to their senses from panic and fear. They stopped asking for help and shouted loudly: "Fire now, you bastard! I'm going to be eaten! Don't let me be eaten by such a disgusting thing!"
"Give me a quick death, quick!"
After hearing these voices, Lowry finally made up his mind and issued an order.
"shooting!"
As Lowry gave the order, the gunners bombarded the monsters on the flanks.
The effect of these magic cannons that fired huge fireballs was very obvious. The monsters soon began to struggle in the explosion, and the black pieces of flesh were burning fiercely, but it still couldn't stop these monsters from moving forward.
It was not until these monsters were continuously bombarded that they turned into ashes and dispersed.
Everything happened so fast that Laurie was still confused. However, there was a magic consultant among the military staff, who quickly guessed, "It's probably some kind of evil magic that transforms living things into monsters. The demons used this evil magic to transform their own people into the monsters just now. However, this monster doesn't seem to have been recorded in any known magic."
Lowry turned his head stiffly and nodded. Whether this statement was true or not, it was at least convincing, and those monsters did not seem invincible.
However, this incident still had an impact on morale, and because all the artillery pieces were turned around in a hurry, Hammond's pressure suddenly increased.
Fortunately, Darcy brought a special musket team and set up guns close to the front line to provide cover for Hammond, so Hammond was able to maintain the offensive.
Noam, who had turned into a monster, felt incredulously the disappearance of the monsters transformed from the demons.
He didn't expect the opponent's firepower to be so strong that they could kill the demon's offspring by fire suppression. But Noam could also feel that the opponent had already tried his best just to deal with those demon's offspring.
So what about the following?
Doug's army was in chaos because the monster that Noam transformed into was too horrifying. Many soldiers began to flee in panic. Even Doug was prepared to escape with the help of his guards. But when he saw that the other side had diverted their fire to deal with those monsters, which reduced the pressure in front of them, Doug applauded these monsters again.
And more and more demons were transformed into the monsters just now, and even some demons that were still in the back had their flesh and blood burst open and transformed into descendants of the devil.
No matter what kind of monster it is, as long as he can defeat the gray-collar worker, Doug feels that he has sold his soul to the devil.
But Doug still couldn't understand, if the demons could turn into such monsters, why did they concentrate all humans on the Golden Spike Plains?
But Doug soon understood that the monster that Noam transformed into suddenly began to spit out black juice from the mouth on its back. The humans who were contaminated by the black juice would immediately suck the flesh and blood of the humans, and then turn into a pool of rotten black meat and attach to the humans. Those humans were wrapped in the black rotten meat and immediately turned into monsters like the walking dead.
Not only that, those humans who saw such a horrifying scene and wanted to escape were stopped by the demons who had been following behind them, and were constantly driven towards the battlefield by these demons.
And those demons who have become the so-called descendants of the devil are frantically devouring humans, and their bodies are constantly growing larger, getting closer and closer to the size of Noam.
However, those demons did not keep their sanity like Noam, but shouted with their mouths on the meat blocks: "Sacrifice...offer, more...sacrifice."
The sound did not seem to be produced by normal vocal organs, but more like some kind of resonance caused by magic. Although the sound was not loud, it was heard by everyone on the battlefield.
