They are coming.
Wrapped in corrupted magic and smoke, filled with hatred for living people and magic, it brought destruction and madness to the wasteland of Gondor, and set foot on the pits and minefields of Cecil's territory.
Their attacks are truly earth-shattering.
The moment the alarm sounded, the atmosphere on the city wall instantly became tense. The recruits were equipped with thermal ray guns, held up force field shields, and stepped onto the city wall under the leadership of the commander and veterans. A line of defense was formed, and in their sight, the monsters were roaring crazily, trampling on the mine-strewn plains as if they didn't feel any pain. The scene was tragic, shocking, but also frightening.
Cecil’s combat corps has a ratio of recruits that would be a headache for any commander. More than 800 of the more than 1,000-strong corps were recruited after the first defense battle. Yes, even though they have the most sophisticated equipment and complete training, no matter how well-trained the recruits are, they are still recruits. Without experiencing the pressure of the battlefield, there will always be an insurmountable obstacle between them and the veterans - in order to reduce the negative impact in this regard , Gawain has increased the proportion of practical training for recruits as much as possible, letting them go to the depths of the jungle to protect the exploration team and fight against monsters, let them go into the mountains for training, and even sent them to the northern wilderness and the surrounding areas of Kant to exterminate bandits. And those desperate mercenaries who gathered while taking advantage of the chaos in the Kant Territory, relied on this method to barely ensure that everyone in the Cecil Combat Corps had fired a gun and seen blood, which allowed the recruits in the regiment to grow up. But they still have to pass today's test before they can truly pass the recruitment period.
After today, even if they are still not experienced veterans, at least they can be considered new recruits.
The blood-colored smoke pouring out of the gap in the mountain range is getting more and more, gradually forming an astonishing blood-colored cloud, and the aberrations pouring out of the cloud are rushing towards Cecil Territory one after another. The south wall of the city - the breath of living people and the ubiquitous magic reaction in the city are like beacons in the night to these monsters. As soon as they rush out of the mountains, they rush over with clear goals, even if there are constantly exploding minefields in front of them. , and they had no hesitation.
Landmines are a good thing. Gawain has always believed in this, especially when dealing with brainless monsters. No matter how many landmines are buried on the battlefield, these one-sided monsters will not hesitate. He rushed up, and then stepped on the entire mine array in a straight line - but it turns out that easy-to-use mines cannot completely solve the threat of aberrations, because the physical fitness of those monsters is too strong, and their "physiological structure" It's too weird.
A crystal mine can completely blow up the lower body of a monster, but they will not die or retreat in fear in the face of such injuries. Instead, they will continue to crawl forward with the remaining upper body, and keep running forward. They will not be completely killed until the second or even third landmine is triggered. Therefore, although these monsters step on landmines very efficiently, at the same time, they use their bodies to "clear mines".The rate is also really amazing.
In the continuous thunderous explosions, the blood-colored cloud front is rapidly approaching the city wall. The soldiers on the watchtower can already see through the telescope the terrifying scene of the monsters at the front spiraling up in the air and falling in all directions. After a special wooden pile with a flag tied in the center of the minefield was also shrouded in the foul breath of the demonic tide, the second alarm sounded, and Knight Byron's breathy voice resounded throughout the city wall: "The enemy has entered the position. , the trebuchet is ready to drop the bomb!"
With the "bang" sound of the winch being released, the specially-made small trebuchet started to operate, and crystal bombs the size of heads streaked through the air. A long arc fell into the battlefield in the distance that was shrouded in ominous black and red smoke. The next second, continuous and even more shocking explosions exploded on the battlefield. The huge flashes and thunderous flames were like It was like tearing apart the cloud of smoke and dust, rolling up storms composed of shrapnel and heat currents among the monsters.
"Retract the winch and continue to drop the bomb!"
"Continue to drop the bomb - Balto, retract the winch and continue to drop the bomb!!"
The roar of the comrades Balto woke up from his stupor. The knight of the Typhon Empire felt his heart pounding and the blood pumping in his chest. He looked blankly at the plain in the distance that was being covered by explosions and flames. There is only one thought in my mind at this moment: Is this the battlefield they face?
Balto subconsciously performed the action. It was not difficult to control the trebuchet. For a knight with amazing physical strength, rolling the winch was not a problem. However, he subconsciously tightened the winch and relocated the crystal bomb. During the process, he felt that his brain was somewhat out of control, and a sense of numbness was slowly creeping into his mind.
This is different from the battlefield he imagined! It’s also different from the battlefields he has experienced!
He is the elite of Typhon, a knight who has experienced hundreds of battles. He is not a new recruit, nor is he a country militiaman who has never seen the world. On the border between Anzu and Typhon, he He has experienced various crises with the soldiers he led. Although the two countries have not officially started war, the private friction between the two sides has escalated to a bloody stage. On those small battlefields that are not recognized by both sides, he He has faced swords and swords, and has also killed enemies with his own hands, but no battlefield has been like what he saw——
The two warring parties were hundreds of meters apart, and the battle had already begun, with blood and fire , thunder and explosions enveloped the entire battlefield. The unknown monsters charged fearlessly in the explosion, while the soldiers defending the city continued to splash more thunder and explosions on the enemies.
It's not even time to unsheath the sword yet.
Of course, there are battle mages in this world, and mages will also create thunder, fire, arcane missiles and other things to attack enemies from a distance during battles, but how many battle mages can there be on a battlefield? How many times can a battle mage release such powerful spells?
Here, the level of PyroblastThe spell can cover the entire battlefield!
Balto once imagined himself being pushed up the city wall by the Ansu people to participate in the city defense battle: behind him stood the supervisory team, while he and his Typhon colleagues held swords in front to act as a shield wall. Only by wielding his sword desperately could he avoid being beheaded by the supervising team and gain a chance of survival on the battlefield. He never thought that he would control the trebuchet here - let alone the "stones" thrown by these trebuchets. Such a terrible thing!
Bato suddenly remembered his experience when he accidentally slipped his hand while carrying those crystal bombs in the afternoon and dropped a few "iron balls" on the wall tiles. He couldn't help but feared that he would get injured. Cold sweat.
He didn’t know that those iron balls actually had a very reliable safety device, and they were controlled by rune triggers, machine springs and locking mechanisms, rather than simply “exploding at the touch of a touch”. Only by removing the copper pins from the iron balls before loading the bombs, will they have the ability to explode. Only by withstanding the powerful impact of being thrown from the trebuchet to the ground will the trigger inside be released and cause an explosion...
The second round of crystal bombs was thrown by the trebuchet, triggering a new round of explosions among the monsters. By this time, those monsters had already crossed half of the battlefield with their powerful inhuman bodies. Sometimes, Being physically strong is so unreasonable: they don't have any command or tactics, but they can advance all the way with their "recklessness". Facing such an enemy, the only thing humans can rely on besides numbers is wisdom and strength.
Solderlin opened the long bow, and a light green magic cyclone rolled up from the front of the long bow. The three feather arrows on the bow string were immediately blessed by magic, filled with a crystal-like luster. , and then as soon as the bowstring was loosened, the three arrows pierced the air with a sharp whistle, and a moment later the three monsters on the battlefield were directly exploded into debris in the sky.
The power of an arrow from a high-level ranger is no less powerful than a crystal bomb.
Solderlin did not pay attention to the results after he fired the bow. He just continued to draw arrows, draw the bow, and shoot in silence.
These monsters are the same as they were seven hundred years ago, but the old friends seem to have come up with many new gadgets that are different from those back then - those exploding "stones" and traps are quite powerful, and even mid-level monsters A high-level professional might not be able to survive if he is attacked intensively by such a thing. After this battle, he should probably ask an old friend to find out how these quite powerful weapons work - but only if he can defend them. You need to position yourself well so that this territory can withstand the monster's attack.
The "bloody front" held by the monsters continued to weaken as they advanced, but they still gradually approached the city wall. After the second mark was covered by the enemy, new orders were conveyed to the ears of the soldiers. :
"Grenadiers prepare——"
The soldiers on the city wall immediately stepped forward under the order, and baskets of crystal grenades were prepared behind the wall stacks. At this moment, the initial tension and fear have gradually become numb, and obeying orders has become the deepest instinct of these soldiers.They took out the grenades and turned on the safety, just waiting for the commander's order.
"Drop bombs!"
With the support of the city wall more than ten meters high, the throwing distance of these grenades has been greatly enhanced, and the dense explosions covered those lucky ones in a moment. Go over monsters in minefields and trebuchet bombing zones.
Gawain stood on the high city wall, watching the tide of monster attacks gradually become sparse and weak in the round after round of fire strikes. This wave of aberrations has not yet approached. Only 20% of the number was reduced to the distance where corrosive energy arrows can be released. There is no doubt that they will fall at the foot of the newly built city wall of the territory.
However, he did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, because the "large individuals" mentioned in the report had not yet entered the battlefield, and the monsters attacking at this moment were only half of the reported number.
His eyes were fixed on the center of the battlefield. At the edge of the trebuchet range, several particularly eye-catching dark red clouds were stirring. There were several astonishingly huge figures hidden in the clouds. And behind those clouds, the remaining aberrations were pouring out of the mountain road, gathering into a new wave of offensive.
As the first wave of aberrations was eliminated by grenadiers and dense scorching rays, those huge figures finally moved.
