The heroes were almost caught off guard.
too suddenly!
Let them run a few steps away before the heroes catch up and smash them again.
Earth Hero: What happened?!
Earth Hero: I don't know!!
Rock Hero: Why are these stone golems suddenly running around?!
On the battlefield, it may indeed be difficult to spot problems.
But Miluko, standing on the high wall of the last line of defense, knew exactly what was going on at a glance.
[Hero of the Thorns: I estimate the enemy has closed in and begun accelerating towards the mine.]
These stone golems have zero intelligence, but they know where the best battlefield is for them.
Having been delayed for so long, we were almost at our destination, so naturally, we started to speed up instinctively.
The warriors felt an increased pressure as they watched the stone figures charging forward.
If they continue running at that speed, they won't be able to keep going for long!
Chapter 104 My
The moment the rock giant falls and gets up, it will immediately start sprinting towards the location of the mine.
Although the warriors were quite agile and quick to react, each time their opponent got up, they could advance a considerable distance before being destroyed, which greatly shortened the originally expected time.
Milu, standing at the highest point, could judge the speed of the enemy's advance by the speed at which they were advancing. At the earliest, in another half hour, these rock giants would enter the mining area.
Moreover, as one moves towards the edge of the forest, the vegetation becomes increasingly scarce.
The more soil and rocks there are, the greater the amplification effect on these rock giants, making the heroes' battles even more difficult.
Moreover, the frequency of the rock giant's counterattacks has also increased significantly.
"boom!!"
Numerous sharp stone spikes bulged from the stone giant's body, attacking the brave warriors who attempted to attack from above.
The hero had no choice but to abandon the attack and turn around, but that moment of hesitation allowed the stone giant to run two more steps.
It's like a porcupine pointing its quills at its enemy. The direction without the quills isn't dangerous, but the key is how to get past those quills to attack the enemy's body.
The difficulty of defense has increased dramatically!
Layton naturally noticed this situation as well.
"ridicule!"
He leaped directly onto the stone giant's back.
The stone giant, which had been running, suddenly paused, as if considering whether to continue running or chase after the person.
"Keep mocking me!!"
"ridicule!!"
At first, he realized that taunting wouldn't stop the stone giants, but it could make them pause for a moment.
Since their only goal is to reach the mine, the [Taunt] skill interferes with their mission.
4. The journey from going to the mine has turned into "attacking this human".
Even before they begin their attack, their high resilience allows them to recover.
So the state is...
Heading towards the mine!! What is this? Attacking humans!! No, still heading towards the mine... What is this? Attacking humans!! No, still heading towards the mine... What is this?
5. Their intelligence is only 0, they cannot understand situations that are too difficult, and they can only perform tasks.
If a task is interrupted, it will pause briefly, but it will eventually continue to execute.
"On the battlefield! Don't!! Daydream!!"
Q-Shiro leaped into the air, long sword in hand—
In an instant, blade light flashed from all parts of the stone giant's body, as if it had been slashed hundreds of times in a single moment.
"Bang!!"
A muffled thud came from the stone giant, and the thick layer of stone covering its body was chopped into hundreds and thousands of pieces, falling off with a crash.
"You son of a bitch!" Shiloh cursed angrily.
Even if you cut it into a thousand pieces, it will only peel off a layer of skin!
The one moving slowly in front of her was not a level 7 rock giant, nor a level 8 rock giant, but a level 9 rock giant that was forty meters tall and twice the size of an ordinary level 7 rock giant.
It walked forward at a leisurely pace, as if knowing that no hero could stop it, and deliberately slowed its steps.
Even though it could have reached the mine first, it still maintained the same speed as other level 7 rock giants.
In other words, if a level 7 rock giant is blocked on the same line, it will stop moving until other rock giants continue to advance.
Its resilience is as high as 90, and at present no hero can completely break through its defense.
The stones on it are still intact and not covered by plants.
Despite his best efforts, Hilo managed to scrape off a pile of stone dust, which the other party recovered after taking a few steps.
"Stop! Stop right now!!"
I won't allow you!! Not even half a step forward!!
Beneath the level nine rock giant, Layton, who had just used Taunt, grabbed the giant's heel.
However, beneath this colossal forty-meter-tall object, he was like an ant, unable to significantly interfere with its movements.
On the contrary, if the other party made a single move, Layton would be thrown into the air.
"So what exactly are you here for?!" Shiloh couldn't help but complain in his mind.
Although Layton inspired everyone's fighting spirit, Shiloh understood that the gap was still a gap, and fighting spirit alone could not close it.
No matter how loudly he shouted from below, he could only pause the other person's steps for a moment with his taunts.
Moreover, when exactly will the reinforcements arrive?
Looking behind, the thick, massive wooden wall was already quite close.
Erxiluo bit her lower lip and clenched her fist.
Everyone fought to the very last second as agreed, but what good did it do?
Despite everyone's hard work, all that remained in the end was deep disappointment.
I've tried my best, but I still can't see any hope...
It's just a waste of effort.
[Sword Hero: Everyone, I think we need to give ourselves some time to retreat.]
The Shield Hero: Don't retreat!!
We've chosen to fight! Let's fight to the very last second!!
Even if those stone monsters are only a meter away from our final line of defense, we cannot retreat!
Even if it's just one centimeter! We cannot yield a single step from our land!!
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
We can't let them!! We can't let these demons!! Just swagger in!! onto the land protected by our heroes!!
Even we heroes have given up our land!!
Then who else can protect this land?!
Beneath the rock giant, Layton roared.
He had been kicked away and trampled by the rock giant countless times, and he had long since used up all his magic power by using taunt.
But he didn't stop for a moment.
Without magic, he would jump up and smash the opponent's knees with his shield, press the rock giant's feet with his shield, and drag the opponent's heels to prevent him from moving.
Hilo suddenly laughed.
It was jumping around, but in the eyes of the other party, it was just like a flea, and it couldn't interfere with the other party's pace at all.
In Shiloh's eyes, he was a flea.
Because she herself is one of them.
Even if you max out your strength and agility, it's still a lot of effort, and you can only scrape the skin off the other person.
It couldn't stop the other party, and the threat wasn't even strong enough to make them turn around and retaliate.
"Should we use a special ability?"
This is the second time Shiloh has looked for books in a desperate situation, considering this problem.
But this time is the same as last time.
She dared not use it.
She feared that even if she used it, she wouldn't be able to break through the opponent's defenses at all.
She was afraid that if she used it, she would only be able to cut through a layer of skin with one stroke.
Because, in her mind, even if her power were further enhanced, she might not be able to harm these rock giants.
After all, simply cutting through the rock isn't enough; you also need to find the core of the opponent.
"Rumble rumble rumble—"
The sound of the rock giants moving rang in my ears.
“Ooo ...
Layton's annoying voice also reached my ears.
“Ooo ...
