through the dark road

Chapter 553 Banshee's Provocation

The Styx banshees flew back and forth in the wind and snow, looking unhurried, not in a hurry to approach Harrogas.

Seeing this, the guards began to secretly strengthen their vigilance on the other cliffs on both sides, beware that these banshees are just deliberately attracting everyone's attention, and the real threat comes from other monsters.

After about a quarter of an hour, the banshee flying in front stopped outside the maximum attack distance of the crowd. It is roughly estimated that there are five or six hundred. After they spread out on the eastern city wall, they looked even more scattered.

But they kept on shrieking harshly, or laughing wantonly, though not in great numbers, but very loudly.

"They're just attracting our attention, but there doesn't seem to be any movement on the other walls." Mo Bei scanned the distant walls with a telescope, but found no gathering of guards, and felt more and more puzzled.

"The two at the back seem to be carrying something." Akali half-closed her eyes, staring into the distance, and then her face turned cold, and she spit out two words:
"It's human."

She was not mistaken, the two banshees suddenly rose up after flying close, and then swooped to an emergency stop, throwing the two human figures held on their claws to the top of the city. They were two frozen corpses.

The two corpses were not blocked by the defensive barrier, and were picked up by the people at the landing point, preventing them from hitting the masonry ground directly.

The armor worn on the corpse was badly broken, but everyone could still tell that those red lines were unique to Ernstinger's standard armor.

"The banshees will not stay away from their masters. These two people were obviously not captured from the fortress guards." Capone said with a sullen face.

The implication is that everyone understands it without too much explanation.

These two Ernstinger guards are the escorts of the airship!
Although there are a lot of supplies on the boat as supplies, and hundreds of accompanying personnel use the damaged airship as a temporary camp, it is not a problem to stay there for a period of time, but now it seems that their location has finally attracted the attention of wandering monsters.

Mo Bei had always been thinking about this matter, and now that such a situation occurred, his anxiety rose uncontrollably.But looking at the banshees outside the attack range, one after another, flying with their vertical wings, as if they were mocking, they could only take a deep breath of cold air, quietly waiting for the news from Ernstinger .

He had already guessed the real intention of these banshees. They brought the two corpses here not to show off their might, but to force Harrogas to take action.

He even hoped that the monster knew that there were objects on the airship that could transmit information, so the people on the wreckage of the airship should not have been wiped out, so that they could act as bait.

Mo Bei looked in the direction of Kane, thinking that if Ernstinger received the news, it shouldn't take too long, and he doesn't know much about Harrogas's personnel at present, so he wants to get First-hand information, naturally still have to go to Kane.

Some banshees seemed unable to bear the temptation of the human breath at the top of the city, and their expressions became more and more crazy, and even began to rub their legs back and forth, the red light in their eyes gradually swallowed their reason.

They screamed and rushed towards the loose wall of the crowd, and waved a series of crackling magic fire.

These passive fires burn extremely fiercely, but their energy is very concentrated. It looks like fireballs that shoot out countless flame tips one by one. Once they are hit, the speed of power penetration is far faster than the bombardment of ordinary fireballs.

And each banshee's attack frequency is quite fast. On the battlefield, the deadly threat posed by a piece of magic fire is no less than being surrounded by a group of self-destructing demon servants.

The city wall of the fortress came to life like a provocative giant beast, and the invisible force stirred the trajectory of the wind and snow, instantly annihilating those dark red light clusters into strands of more than a dozen approaching banshees and tearing them into pieces.

The self-sacrificing elders may no longer have any subjective consciousness, but the defenders of Harrogath still feel unbearable every time they see the defensive barrier activated.

They don't know where the limit of this enchantment is, and no one wants to know. Every living person doesn't want to hear the buzzing sound of the enchantment under attack.

All kinds of long-range attacks splashed into the sky, knocking all the other Styx banshees off the cliff before they hit the barrier.

The blood and flesh splashing in the air seemed to make the banshees in the rear regain some sanity. They resisted the urge to continue attacking and fled back to a safe distance. After a burst of extremely angry and unwilling roars, they already had the momentum to retreat.

Capone threw more than a dozen javelins angrily, but none of them hit, and his forehead was so angry that the veins bulged.

At the end of the so-called crossbow, even when the arrows shot by Milor reached the distance of the banshee, the speed and accuracy were not the same, and they started to go with the wind, causing no damage at all.

"Damn it! These temptresses are not as deadly as before!" Capone looked furious, wishing he could spread his wings and chase them out.

His anger came from the two corpses left by the banshees, and so did the others. After being so provoked, if he just watched these monsters walk away like this, his anger would be uncontrollable.

Mo Bei stopped Perona, who was eager to try, with his eyes. Even with the assistance of Sarina, she was unlikely to take advantage of the fire of hundreds of long-range monsters. Facing the most perverted BOSS in the STG game is no different, one careless person will be gone.

But he remembered one thing, that was the big drum that Perona and Perona found in the forest outside the port when the monster tide besieged Kurast Harbor.

The battle drum of the demon army can stimulate all monsters affected by the hell fire to charge the area where humans are located.I just don't know if it will have such an effect if he knocks it.

With a thought, a big drum made of giant skulls appeared on the top of the city, as tall as half a person.The devil's skull and fangs were ferocious, supporting the drum surface of the devil's skin to tilt naturally, without even the shelf.

"What!?" Capone turned his head and looked at the sudden appearance in amazement.

"Drums, maybe they can be lured here." Mo Bei raised the drumstick made of bone sticks, and hit the drum with moderate strength.

With the whole city on guard, he wasn't worried about attracting other monsters. Even if they did, he could deal with them. It was better than the monster army accumulating enough power to attack Harrogas every time. The offense must be strong.

"Boom!!"

The deep drum sound echoed out, shaking everyone's hearts, and they all turned their heads to look.

It's just that the group of banshees didn't respond at all, and gradually dispersed into several strands, leaving in different directions.

Seeing this, Mo Bei made a further attempt, took out a piece of Mephisto's skeleton, held it in his palm, and swung the drumstick again.

This time, he clearly saw that when the drum was shaking, a layer of black mist rolled out outwards, with an evil spirit, which had obviously aroused the power in it.

Ben just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that humans could use the hell drums in this way, which made him a little surprised that it was true.

The sound of the drum also has a kind of magic, it spreads very far, and the group of banshees who are about to hear it in the distance suddenly turn around.

"Knock! Keep knocking!" Seeing that the sound of the drum really caught the attention of the banshees, Capone kept urging.

As Mo Bei waved the drumsticks one after another, the dull footsteps echoed in the sky like giants strutting, and the banshees felt that the blood of the devil flowing in their bodies began to boil, and their ferocity was completely aroused.

They screamed in the direction of the fortress, and the screeching sound formed a stone-like sound wave, shaking the surrounding snowflakes into powder.
