The Release That Witch
Chapters 49's

Roland rubbed his eyes in disbelief, what the hell is this? Is this still within the scope of the biological variability of demonic beasts? What he saw was hard to explain in words, not even the monsters in the horror movie were this absurd.

From afar, it looked like a giant turtle with two heads, but from up close, it was actually two wolf heads.

Roland thought, is this a test specimen from Dr. Frankenstein ? It was almost as high as the city walls, its body length was 7 meters, and a total of six legs were stocky and shaped like rhino legs. However, one leg is at least the size of an adult's torso. Head ... Unlike the two-headed monsters in various monster movies, they don't yell at each other, bite each other, or try to show who the boss is. Instead, they just hang, and their eyes have a layer of wood. It was like a zombie that moved forward without a brain.

However, the most striking feature of the demonic beast was the shell on its back. The surface of the shell is dark brown and covered in algae, and has a special hardness. It is shaped like a turtle shell, covering the turtle from front to back. If this monster could also shrink back into its shell like a turtle, it would be very difficult to get rid of it.

However, Roland was not worried, a demon beast of this size should be slow, so it was destined to become a target. Even if the firearm was unable to penetrate its shell, it was still possible to fire a protruding head out. If it was meant to hide in its shell, then they would have to reverse it with explosives.

"Your Majesty, this is a hybrid species," the Iron Axe nervously bowed and explained, "Now I can understand why demonic beasts of different species work together. They seem to be under the control of a hybrid demonic beast."

So like a lion ruling a sheep? Roland nodded. "So this is a completely different animal than the one you met last time?"

"It's also the first time I've seen this kind of hybrid species. Although it looks strange, you can't be careless. As long as it's a mixed species, it'll always be hard to deal with."

"It will soon enter the range of our archer, so try to kill him first with a bow and crossbow." Roland ordered.

At this time, because it was still light snowing and strong winds were blowing from the North, the weather was not suitable for archery. However, the two Iron Axe personal army hunters were still confident of being able to kill the beast.

They climbed the watchtower, tested the wind, and then shot arrows into the air.

The two arrows looked like growing eyes. They rise to the highest point and then, under the influence of wind and gravity, fall at an almost vertical angle to their target.

As imagined, the arrow bounced off the shell. In Roland's brain it even sounded like it was bouncing.

Seeing this, the hunters hurriedly inserted the next arrow into their string, and unleashed a second wave.

Finally, this volley paid off. This time, the impact area was at the front of the monster, so one arrow went right into the wolf head while the other arrow went into the neck of the other head.

However, the demonic beast did not roar in anger or hasten its assault, it only paused for a moment, tucked its head into its shell and then continued moving forward slowly.

This change left everyone dumbfounded.

With this the demon beast only looked like a tank, its body as low as possible above the ground so a better shooter would not be able to land the arrow.

"Take your weapon," Roland ordered.

Now, the target was only fifty feet away from the wall. Even if the weapon was not a carved flintlock, he was not worried that the weapon would miss.

Carter and Iron Axe immediately approached the edge of the wall, putting the barrel of their weapons on the horizontal frame of the wall, aiming, and shooting.

While a burst of white smoke drifted away from the rifle, Roland could clearly see the bullet hitting the shell and separating out some debris, even opening a small hole inside the shell. However, mixed species do not seem to be affected, as it continues to maintain its original speed.

It seems that this protective layer falls into the category of biological carbon intensity strength, Roland thought. Unfortunately, the lead ball is still too soft, so it is easily deformed and not suitable for penetrating thick armor. So, the four rifles themselves to destroy the mixed species armor were extremely unrealistic, so the only option left was to use explosives.

Rough walls are very resistant to compression, but the performance of tensile and shear resistance of walls is very poor. That means the wall's ability to withstand vibration shocks is almost zero. The people standing on the wall could feel a strong vibration, and soon, a shrill friction sound rang out to the ears of everyone standing on the wall. With this, the wall began to surrender under the attack of mixed species.

However, the impact did not stop. Instead, he started moving again, and soon the entire front of the beast's body was embedded in the wall.

Militias who stood on the wall with cracks had fled, and the invisible Nightingale gripped Roland's waist and jumped down with him from the top of the wall - if at this moment someone was staring at the prince, she would see the prince's feet hanging on the floor, ghostly.

When Van'er arrived carefully carrying the explosive package, he was surprised to see that there was already a nine-foot-wide hole inside the wall, and the demonic beast had already stepped through the wall but still maintained its previous speed slowly moving forward.

"Hurry up!" The Iron Axe shouted, "light it up and put it at the foot of the demonic beast!"

Although Van'er's hands were trembling, his mind suddenly became clear and every detail of his training with explosives appeared in his mind. It was a different version of explosives than the one used during training. To reduce costs, explosives are now placed inside wooden boxes containing mine debris. At the same time, the ignition design is also optimized, using flint-type ignition and copper wire. If this fails, the kit also contains a normal ignition cable. He hurried off the oil cloth and opened the bag, where he then saw a piece of copper rope. As he exhausted all of his body strength to pull the strings, he could hear a hissing sound coming out of the box and white smoke starting to rise - this was a sign of a successful ignition.

To slow the burning time, the lead wire is soaked in salt, only taking 10 breaths to explode. When Van'er saw white smoke rising from the box, his world became silent around him. He had witnessed the power of this thing, if it exploded in his hands, he was afraid that not even his own body parts would be left.

Nine breaths.

Van'er could hear his own heartbeat, as if to give him a countdown. Step by step, he went in front of the demonic beast, placing explosives under the beast.

Five breaths.

Now that his pressure had increased, no one could stop his explosion now.

Three breaths.

Van'er turned and ran away.

Two breaths.

One breath - he could only hear a muffled sound. Van'er felt the shockwave and the world became noisy again.

He turned around and could see a lot of white exploding from under the shell - it was snow fired into the air from explosives, at a glance looking like scattered misty flowers. The demonic beast finally stopped, but before it fell, it fell to the ground, as if it was unable to hold its heavy carapace anymore. Then, black blood came out from under the carapace, soaking the surrounding soil.

"Oh oh oh!"

Seeing this, the crowd suddenly cheered.

Van'er fell to the ground, only now discovering that his clothes were soaked in sweat.

It's finally over.

When everyone thought of this, the sound of a horn echoed throughout the Border Town again.

Once again, a swarm of demonic beasts marched towards Border Town, trying to destroy it.
