Chapter 197 Self-destruction
Chapter 197 Self-destruction
They rushed to the city wall under the rain of arrows. Long ladders were set up on the moat, and the zombie orcs rushed over on the ladders. The tree shepherds and wild tree people who had taken root under the city wall roared in anger. The tentacle-like vines of the tree shepherds rolled up the strong orc zombies, and the huge force directly tore them into pieces. The wild tree people who were summoned, although they did not have powerful vines, were extremely powerful. They waved their fists as thick as battering rams, smashing the orc zombies within the attack range into meat patties one by one.
But there were too many orc zombies, and they had no fear, not afraid of any casualties. They made low and muddy throat sounds, and rushed towards the tree shepherd one by one. Even if they would be torn to pieces in the next moment, they would try to tear off one or two thick vines wrapped around their bodies. Not only that... From a distance, a skinny zombie holding a torch ran quickly. He was slender and wore no armor except for a pale mask, but he ran very fast. And as he ran, his body quickly swelled up.
The archers, who were caught in the melee, failed to react in time. The torch zombie, which had become an oversized fat man, rushed to a tree shepherd. When seven or eight vines just rolled up on him, he stuffed the torch in his mouth. The next moment, a loud bang exploded out of nowhere, and the ground shook. The tree shepherd who was the first to bear the brunt was instantly blown to pieces, and even cracks appeared on the adjacent city walls. What's worse, a disgusting corpse stench spread with the explosion. The Rohan warriors who were closer were fumigated by the corpse poison stench, their faces turned green, and they fainted on the ground without a sound. There is no doubt that this is already a tactical-level killer. Then, what's worse is that dozens of figures holding torches appeared from the army of orc zombies and rushed towards the city wall quickly.
"Attack those self-destructing zombies with all your strength~~~~!" Lin Yu waved his arms, and a large amount of faith power was swayed, instantly incinerating all the spreading corpse poison. Some pure white weak starlight fell on the nearby zombies. Although it failed to purify them directly, it strangely made these zombies scream, as if they were stimulated by something. You know, zombies don't feel pain.
At the same time, the archers on the city wall also focused their fire on the self-destructing zombies, especially the Elf Prince Legolas. He could launch a sniper attack from a thousand meters away, and his black feather arrows were the only deadly weapon that could guarantee a 100% kill of the zombies. With only him, the self-destructing zombies would never be able to rush up the city wall. Especially the few self-destructing zombies that he killed at the end, a large amount of combustible corpse poison had accumulated in their bodies. After being shot off by the Elf Prince's arrow, a large amount of dark green viscous gas suddenly gushed out from their necks. When these gases came into contact with the torches in their hands, a terrible explosion occurred, directly blowing up hundreds of zombie orcs nearby.
"Don't rush to kill them too early. It will be more effective when you kill them when they become fat enough!" Lin Yu said to the Elf Prince with a smile.
The walls of Helm's Deep had already become a sea of blood. The tree shepherds below the city waved dozens of tough and powerful vines, rolling up everything in range, whether it was stones, zombie orcs, or anything else, and threw them all into the distance. The tall wild tree men also waved their fists and fought bravely. Their bodies were covered with layers of flesh and blood, and the branches were full of various internal organs and corpses, so that these tree men looked 10,000 times more terrifying and bloody than those zombies, just like a nightmare version of a bloody Christmas tree.
Even so, one tree after another fell under the impact of the zombie orc tide. After being pushed down and drowned by the orcs, they were torn into piles of fine firewood... The battle finally ended with a complete victory for Rohan's side.
Far away from here, a white-haired old man was staring quietly at the black crystal ball in front of him, with a cruel smile on his lips: "That's right... It was the person with this soul characteristic who hurt the great Saruman with despicable means. I finally found you..." Behind the white-haired old man stood the cold yellow panther.
The war had already entered a fierce stage, and both sides had deployed their reserve forces almost simultaneously. From the back of the zombie orc camp, nearly a hundred tall and burly giant zombies, more than three meters tall, surrounded by more than a dozen terrifying flesh caterpillars the size of small battleships, which looked like they had been magnified a billion times, slowly approached the city wall.
Those giant zombies were fine, and they were similar to the rare elite zombies that Lin Yu had encountered before. Their most notable features were a huge blood-red eye on their shoulders and overly thick arms, and they had the ability to launch long-range attacks with "deadly evil light". But those terrifying flesh caterpillars that were surprisingly large were too exaggerated. I don't know how Saruman cultivated such monsters. They looked a bit like the world-ruling king worms in the plane of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". At least their size was very close, but they were uglier and more ferocious. Countless tentacles extended from its huge mouth that resembled a predator, and while crawling forward, it devoured everything in front of it. Countless zombie orcs disappeared in their bottomless mouths, and wherever these flesh worms passed, a deep trail of light green mucus was left on the ground. The tail of this giant flesh caterpillar did not have a biological excretion organ similar to a chrysanthemum, but had something similar to a scorpion's tail. At the tip of this "tail" is a smaller head... a thing with a diameter of more than five meters and a shape that resembles a human head.
When they were only a few hundred meters away from the city wall, these human heads with "tails" opened their mouths and spit out a large mass of disgusting things covered with mucus, which hit the city wall like a cannonball. This thing has a certain explosive ability, and after it explodes, it will spread the highly corrosive mucus to the surroundings, with amazing lethality. With just one wave of attacks, many tree people were killed neatly, and the city wall was also seriously corroded. When they fired again, everyone finally saw what the meat caterpillars fired... It was an orc zombie wrapped in digestive mucus that had rotted into a ball. These big meat caterpillars crawled to a place 700 meters away from the city wall and stopped, and began to use "Corpse Poison Cannon" to attack the city wall continuously. However, this distance is beyond the attack range of bows and arrows. After the elf prince was trapped in the zombie group, only tree shepherds and a few bed crossbows could attack them.
