Chapter 460 The Escape Route is Blocked
Boom!
During the battle against the Dragon Scorpion, many of Anno's fourth and fifth-tier summons had their health points reduced to the critical point, prompting him to use [King's Power].
However, dragon scorpions are covered with thick carapaces, which can protect them from a lot of damage.
A normal summoned creature self-destructing will at most severely injure a dragon scorpion of the same level.
"Damn it, these guys are practically ranged heavy infantry, they have no weaknesses."
Using [Insight], Anno analyzed that the dragon scorpion's weakness was its walking legs on its chest.
The four pairs of walking legs are the main locomotion organs of the dragon scorpion. Compared with the powerful chelicerae, the walking legs are relatively weak in defense.
Once its legs are broken, the dragon scorpion is basically unable to move and can only stay in place.
The key is that if you want to get close to fight the dragon scorpion, you have to face its two claws.
If you create distance, you will be attacked by the [Tail Spike Cannon].
Moreover, there are many dragon scorpions, including mid-level ones.
To sever a dragon scorpion's legs, one must attack a dragon scorpion of a lower rank.
These few hundred dwarf soldiers were not particularly strong; only a few dozen were at the mid-level.
If Anno hadn't summoned dozens of Tier 6 summons to hold them off, the dwarf army's losses would have been several times greater.
Faced with an ever-growing number of dragon scorpions, a few hundred dwarf soldiers holding the line would only be wiped out.
Mandel understood this principle as well.
By this time, the civilians had safely retreated a distance, and the dwarf soldiers' mission of blocking the retreat was considered complete.
"All personnel, listen to my command: fight and retreat!"
Mandel had just issued the order when he was smashed into a building by a seventh-tier dragon scorpion.
"Retreat immediately!"
The dwarf commander immediately ordered a group of men to move the wounded, while the rest fought their way back.
At this time, the number of dragon scorpions far exceeded one thousand.
Not only in front of the street, but also from the sides, dragon scorpions began to swarm into the battlefield.
Anno acquired several hundred dragon scorpion souls during the battle, but only a dozen or so were tier-six dragon scorpion souls, mostly killed by Anno's summoned creatures.
However, Anno only obtained five pairs of sixth-tier dragon scorpion claws and the carapace from their abdomen as sacrificial materials.
Because they were retreating, Anno had no time to collect the remaining Tier 6 materials.
Dragon Scorpion naturally wouldn't watch the crowd retreat.
Apart from a few wounded or weaker scorpions that were feeding on the dead dwarves, the rest of the scorpions were in hot pursuit of the dwarf army.
"Several thousand dragon scorpions have appeared in this one place alone; how many must there be in the entire city!"
Tens of thousands?
Hundreds of thousands?
Can Sagonto hold out against the attack of these elite demonic creatures?
Anno knew very well that if the number of dragon scorpions reached hundreds of thousands, Sagunto would basically be a paradise for dragon scorpions.
If the dragon scorpions attack Saguntor from outside the city, the dwarves, relying on their various war equipment, should be able to hold them off for a while.
But now, several god-like figures are fighting above Sagunto.
The dragon scorpion clan emerged directly from the city center.
A large number of residents still need to be evacuated from the city.
In the dead of night, Dragon Scorpion had all the advantages of timing, location, and people.
Against this backdrop, the dwarf army was no match for the dragon scorpion.
During the retreat, Anno saw a dwarf soldier next to him being swatted away by the claws of a dragon scorpion in front of him, and his shield also fell to the ground.
Ten meters away, a third-tier dragon scorpion raised its tail high, its stinger already aimed at the dwarf who had just gotten up from the ground.
Am I going to die?
The dwarf's pupils constricted when he saw the tail spikes being launched.
Just as he was about to give up struggling, a tall figure appeared in front of him.
boom!
The tail spike struck the shield in Anno's hand, but Anno, who was holding the shield, did not move an inch.
"Don't just stand there, pick up your gear and retreat!"
Anno said without turning his head.
He then pushed off with his right leg, instantly appearing beside the dragon scorpion that had just fired the [Tail Spike Cannon].
The Frost Fang in his hand slashed through the air with a white light, instantly cutting the third-tier dragon scorpion in half at the waist.
"That's amazing!"
The dwarf soldiers rescued by Anno saw Anno fighting and limped away while picking up their weapons from the ground.
Anno's figure flashed several times nearby, successively killing several of the fastest charging dragon scorpions.
But then a sixth-tier dragon scorpion, which had used its claws to split a sixth-tier summon in two, set its sights on Anno.
Anno dodged the opponent's [Tail Spike Cannon] and turned away.
The sixth-tier dragon scorpion has extremely high defense.
It would be very difficult for Anno himself, as well as his sixth-tier summoned creatures, to kill a sixth-tier dragon scorpion with low resource consumption.
On such a battlefield, fighting without regard for attrition is far too dangerous.
As for the idea of pulling the opponent into the Evil King's Domain and killing the sixth-tier dragon scorpion there, Anno considered it for a moment and then ruled it out.
The location where we emerged from the Evil King's domain was the same as the location where we entered.
In other words, by the time Anno kills the sixth-tier dragon scorpion and comes out, he will likely already be surrounded by the dragon scorpions.
Before retreating to a safe area, breaking out of the encirclement of dragon scorpions is no easy task.
After sacrificing the dragon scorpion parts and souls he had previously collected, consuming 100,000 mana, Anno summoned five dragon scorpions—summoning a fourth-tier summon consumes 5,000 mana, a fifth-tier consumes 10,000 mana, and a sixth-tier consumes 20,000 mana.
Although the magic power was reduced by one-fifth instantly, the five summons mixed into the swarm of dragon scorpions could better assist Anno's other summons in killing the dragon scorpions.
During the battle between the Tier 6 summoned pig-headed creature and the Tier 6 dragon scorpion, a dragon scorpion suddenly cut into the battlefield from the side.
On the surface, its target was the pig-headed man, but in reality, its outstretched claws snapped off one of the pig-headed man's opponent's claws!
The summoned dragon scorpion then used its tail to shoot its stinger at the target dragon scorpion's head.
If its head hadn't retracted into its armor in time, the [Tail Spike Cannon] would have killed this Tier 6 dragon scorpion instantly.
But things didn't get any better after that.
The dragon scorpions that came from the side were all Anno's summoned creatures.
Each scorpion clamps its claws, severing half of the target's accessory limb.
Anno then rushed forward and used Frostblade to first cut off the tail, and then cut off all the remaining secondary legs, paralyzing it on the ground.
Finally, the Frost Blade pierced the protective shell of the skull from above and plunged into the dragon scorpion's head.
Although with the help of others, Anno killed a level 31, sixth-tier dragon scorpion in less than fifteen seconds.
However, many fourth, fifth, and sixth-tier dragon scorpions rushed up from the side.
Moreover, because of the strength Anno displayed, these monsters hated Anno even more.
Faced with the numerical disadvantage, Anno didn't even have time to retrieve a complete set of summoning materials from the corpses before retreating.
Even with five summoned dragon scorpions occasionally appearing to ambush the dragon scorpions around him, Anno could only keep retreating.
After retreating for about ten minutes, the dwarf army had lost nearly a hundred men.
However, it is still quite a distance from the outer city area.
House seemingly endless rain.
Just then, a hissing sound suddenly came from behind the retreating group.
Anno, who was in the middle of the battle, quickly jumped onto the roof and then saw a large group of dragon scorpions blocking their way from the side and behind.
The lead dragon scorpion, the size of a house, crawled swiftly across the rooftop, heading towards the battleground.
"Damn it, another Tier 7 Dragon Scorpion!"
