Chapter 216: Drowned in the Latrine (Part 2)
The voice of the centurion's report echoed through the barracks, as Luo De's gaze swept over the solemn faces.
"Very good."
"Just now, the patrol reported that the lizardmen army has just crossed the Razor Plain and is heading towards our land!"
"They will enter Black Pine Ridge, kill everyone, loot all the food, and burn our homeland."
"They will destroy our fields, slaughter our families, and string children and women like pigs over the bonfire."
Luo De loudly questioned, "Do you want to see such a scene?"
"No!"
"I can't hear you!"
Luo De roared, "Will you allow such a thing to happen?"
"No!"
Furious roars echoed throughout Frost Leaf Town, shaking the frost and thunder circling in the sky.
"Very good."
Luo De nodded calmly,
"Now, I order you."
"Drown every fool who sets foot in Black Pine Ridge in a dung pit!"
...
...
The urgent sound of horns echoed through the skies of Frost Town.
Baron Blom stood on the watchtower, staring intently at the shadows writhing ahead, pressing like a dark cloud towards Frost Town.
Countless in number, but certainly exceeding a thousand.
"Prepare for battle!"
The resounding voice spread throughout the town.
But mere words could not inspire, especially the new recruits.
Through the fence, seeing the approaching tall figures, everyone gasped.
Lizardmen were already terrifying, but what was before them was a grotesque, hideous monster.
They had some parts like humans, some like lizardmen.
The key was in their bizarre forms, not entirely human.
"Archers ready, fire at an angle!"
Blom commanded loudly, "Three volleys!"
"Fire!"
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
Dozens of arrows flew through the sky, raining down on the monster horde.
The monsters at the front fell in waves like cut grass, bringing a moment of joy to Blom's face,
"These monsters only look terrifying..."
His words had barely fallen when something despairing happened.
——The monsters that had fallen, stood up, pulling the arrows from their bodies, and continued charging with the group!
"What are these monsters?"
"They're not lizardmen; they're the devils of legend!"
"It's over, it's over; the devils of the tundra have emerged!"
The scene surpassing imagination terrified the soldiers, causing immediate chaos.
Especially the new recruits, who involuntarily retreated.
"Keep firing!"
Blom's Adam's apple rolled as he roared over the uproar!
Arrows again flew across the sky, falling among the monster horde, as Blom watched intently, observing closely!
And this time, he confirmed, the monsters felt no pain!
Unless hit in the head or heart, no matter how mangled the body was, it didn't stop their charge!
"Aim for their heads and hearts!"
Blom loudly reminded, "They're just ordinary lizard monsters; their vital points are like humans!"
The lizard monsters were now less than a hundred meters from the fence, as the archers took careful aim, significantly increasing accuracy.
When arrows pierced through the lizard monsters' eyes, mouths, and chests, they couldn't get up again.
This allowed the soldiers to breathe a sigh of relief, their fear slightly receding.
But the archers were still limited; without dedicated training and preparation, Frost Town barely had fifty skilled in archery, with only about a hundred who could reluctantly shoot.
This, even with the War Blade Clan's support.
These archers couldn't stop the lizard monsters sweeping in like a black tide.
In front of the fence, dry wood soaked in pine tar emitted a pungent oily gas.
"Set it on fire!"
At Blom's command, the soldiers tossed torches beneath the fence.
The trench filled with pine tar needles and firewood instantly ignited, soaring into towering flames, forming a blazing barricade!
The fierce heat waves forced the monsters back, their hideous faces even more grotesque in the firelight.
They lingered around the flaming trench, seemingly fearing the flames greatly.
"Kill!"
"Kill them all!"
The lizard monsters' hesitation invigorated the soldiers, as arrows and stones continued to rain down on them.
Blom, too, grew excited, grabbing a long spear and hurling it at the lizard monsters.
This was what Blom had learned from Luo De; ordinary soldiers weren't accustomed to spear-throwing, and his spear team hadn't been formed yet.
The long spear soared through the air, instantly piercing the chest of a lizardman monster, pinning it to the ground.
"Had I known, I should have established a spear-throwing team sooner!"
There was no time for regret on the battlefield; Blom immediately ordered loudly,
"Keep attacking, wipe them out behind the trench!"
"Ah!"
The sharp howling interrupted Blom's order, as the lizard monsters previously hesitating suddenly stirred into frenzy.
The soldiers couldn't help but glance backwards, as several monsters directly leaped into the burning trench!
Their flesh sizzled and burned, the air immediately filled with a foul stench as black smoke rose!
"Roar!"
Painful cries erupted from the lizard monsters' mouths, yet they leapt into the trench without hesitation, using their bodies to smother the flames!
The lizard monsters behind them trampled over their corpses, crossing the trench, slamming fiercely against the fence!
"Boom! Boom! Boom—"
The fence shook under the relentless impact!
Despite the soldiers' longswords and spears piercing these monsters' bodies, they couldn't halt their advance!
Even more terrifying, a clawed lizard monster climbed over the fence, leaping into the town, beginning a massacre among the people!
