Chapter 324: The Deceitful Ghost

As the trap was triggered by the ghost beast, a series of shrill howls pierced the silent night sky, sounding particularly creepy.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground red. The wailing of ghost beasts rose one after another, as if telling of their pain and unwillingness.

The power of the trap was far beyond the ghost beasts' imagination. Their bodies were pierced, blood stained the night, and there were corpses and flowing blood all over the ground.

The bloody smell filled the air, making people feel nauseous and dizzy.

The soldiers and civilians looked at this tragic scene and sneered in their hearts.

They have set up a lot of traps these days. Not only have they used up almost all the trap parts that the forging workshop had rushed out day and night, but they have also made densely packed simple traps themselves, just for this moment.

As time passed, the roaring sound became closer, and the ghost beasts launched a fierce attack on the Forgotten Town like a black torrent that broke through the dam. They were so dense that there was no end in sight.

The soldiers and civilians on the wall of the village resisted with bows and arrows.

Arrows rained down like rain, and every arrow hit its target. The wailing of ghost beasts rose one after another.

But not long after, the ghost beast army broke through the arrow rain defense line, rushed to the foot of the village wall, and began to climb the wall.

The warriors, armed with swords, shields, guns and bows, fought a desperate battle with the evil beasts.

Blood and murderous intent intertwined, and a tragic atmosphere permeated the battlefield.

Due to the large number of ghost beasts and the incredible intensity of the battle, the warriors gradually became unable to cope.

At this time, the power of the talisman reappeared, the thorn bush was reborn, the ghost beast was trapped in it, and the wailing sound sounded again.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" the machine crossbow was fully activated, and powerful arrows whistled, cutting off the torrent of ghost beasts.

The soldiers took the opportunity to counterattack, suppressing the attack of the ghost beast and gaining precious time for changing defense.

Among the four battlefields, the most intense fighting was not in the Forgotten Village, but in the Forgotten Village.

At this time, Wanghuai Village was besieged on three sides, and the intensity of the battle made the old patriarch unable to sit still.

The old man stood on the cliff, looking at the fierce battle below, and couldn't help but clench his fist, because ghost beasts kept rushing up the village wall, engaging in close combat with the soldiers and civilians, and blood was splattered.

"Chief, the ghost beast army probably wants to attack the Forgotten Village and leave it isolated and helpless. That's what they are planning." Yifeng walked over quickly and said.

"The defense of Wanghuai Village is somewhat weak after all. It is normal for the Ghost Wolf King to discover it and order the ghost beasts to attack. What the old man could not have imagined is that they would attack regardless of the cost in order to capture Wanghuai Village." The old patriarch pondered.

The defense of Wanghuai Village is weak because of the small number of soldiers and civilians, but there are a lot of machine crossbows, and their lethality is astonishing.

Even so, the ghost beast still climbed up the village wall, which showed that the ghost beast had gone completely crazy.

"Chief, do you want to send soldiers and civilians to provide support?" Yifeng asked.

"We must send reinforcements, but not too many, so as not to be attacked in the west by a diversion."

"What the clan leader means is that the Ghost Wolf King is targeting the village?"

"No, no, no, they can't break through the village. The old man is wondering if the Ghost Wolf King's target is the enclosure."

"Paddock?" Yifeng frowned. If the ghost beast army broke through the paddock, they could hunt cattle, sheep and horses... It seemed like the loss outweighed the gain.

"Attacking the heart is the best approach." The old patriarch uttered four words.

"It can't achieve this effect." Yifeng shook his head.

"Whether we will be attacked or not, the ghost beasts that hunt can completely attack us. By then, they will definitely be bloodthirsty and crazy, and their attack power will explode."

"This..." Yifeng was silent. What the old patriarch said was not unreasonable.

"First, send twenty guards to lead the second team of villagers to support Wanghuai Village and watch the battle before discussing it later." The old patriarch gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes," Yifeng accepted the order and left.

"Pah!" On the wall of the village, the blood-soaked remnant chopped down a ghost beast and spat out the smelly black blood that splashed into his mouth. He looked around the battlefield and saw a battle on the wall of the village. There was no chance to change guard at all.

He turned his eyes towards the arrow tower. Except for the new type of crossbow which remained motionless, the rest of the crossbows were attacking with all their might.

"We can't go on like this. Our physical exhaustion will only increase casualties." Yi Tu pondered for a moment, and ordered the messenger, "Let the new crossbow lock onto the commanding Level 4 ghost beast and fire three shots."

"Yes." The messenger responded, took out a firework tube and lit it.

"Swoosh" green fireworks soared into the sky and exploded in the sky.

When the hunting team operating the new machine crossbow saw this, their eyes lit up, they slightly adjusted the angle, and fired one shot at the fourth-level ghost beast that had been locked on for a long time, and then quickly loaded the crossbow and fired two shots in succession.

"Swish, swish, swish" a sharp whistling sound broke through the air, a black light streaked across the battlefield, exploded at low altitude, and shot out an arrow as fast as lightning, piercing through any ghost beast it touched.

"Roar, roar, roar" a series of shrill howls came from the mouths of the fourth-level ghost beasts one after another, echoing throughout the battle and causing the attacking tide of ghost beasts to pause.

"Kill!" Yihuo roared and swung his knife.

"Kill!" The soldiers and civilians who had fought bloody battles roared in unison, unleashing their potential to fight the army of ghost beasts, and killed the ghost beasts that had rushed up the village wall.

"Kill!" Reinforcements arrived and led the reserve troops to climb up the village wall and quickly change defense.

It has to be said that strength is king. For twenty guards with fourth-grade strength, occupying advantageous positions, it is easy for them to deal with low-level ghost beasts.

As they charged, and as the young commander who commanded the ghost beast group was injured, the chaos caused allowed the reserve troops to smoothly change shifts.

However, at this moment, there was a loud "whoosh" sound, and the ghost bird army, which had been lying in wait, suddenly swooped down from the southwest like a dark cloud, and rushed towards the western wall of Wanghuai Village.

They seemed to have something under their claws.

"Haha, those beasts are actually attacking with stones. Guys, follow the boss and shoot them to death."

A strange howling sound of "Ga Ga" was heard, and the Eagle Guards, who were ready at any time, led by Ye Yi and Ying Yi, soared into the sky and formed a team in the air to meet the army of ghost birds that were whistling past with their claws grabbing stones.

"This formation..." The old patriarch looked at the sky and saw nearly twenty Eagle Guards forming a three-dimensional arrow formation, feeling a little confused.

But as the Eagle Guards launched their flaming arrow attacks, the old man understood the usefulness of this formation.

Attack in three straight lines: top, middle and bottom, with teams switching back and forth to attack in an intertwined manner, combining offense and defense.

"Swish, swish, swish" nearly a thousand dark purple flame arrows shot towards the army of ghost birds that were rushing towards them.

A cry of "cry" was heard, and the army of goose-shaped ghost birds flapped their wings and threw the stones in their claws at the flaming arrows with all their might. Then they turned around and flew to both sides, dropping the stones in their claws in row after row.

"Boom boom boom" the flaming arrow hit the flying rocks and exploded with a loud bang. In an instant, flames rose into the sky and the rocks were blown away.

This scene made the old patriarch who was watching the battle burst into swear words: "Damn it! It's really a ghost bird that has seen a ghost. It's really a ghost bird that has seen a ghost."

The old man thought that the ghost bird army had the stones in their claws to attack the soldiers and civilians. Who would have thought that they were used to resist the flaming arrows of the Eagle Guards? They were really cunning.
