Chapter Eighty-Five: Night Battle
An earth-shattering roar came from all directions, and countless demon beasts swept towards the City of Light from the ground and air, billowing smoke and dust covered the sky, probably feeling that the breath of the Chaos Divine Beast was gradually disappearing, and a large number of demon beasts were restless, and they followed the last breath of the Chaos Divine Beast towards the City of Light.
The battle was in full swing at this time. The demon beast army did not stop attacking because of the losses in front. The offensive is still fierce, and the group of corpse turtles that have retreated before have also joined the army of demon beasts, and under the command of the recovered giant brain, they are also killing towards the City of Light, it seems that they will not stop if they do not occupy the City of Light, is there any big secret in the City of Light? Or is it just for a city, are these corpses and turtles so desperate?
And because the Colorful Dragon devoured the Chaos Divine Beast, its size doubled, like a statue staying in the air, not moving at all, as if frozen, only occasionally some colorful light overflowed from the body of the Colorful Dragon. The dragon's head was raised in the air, staring ahead, as if it were confronting something.
Hybel looked up at the multicolored dragon that took up half of the sky and sighed, as if he had lost his backbone.
"Young man, you've done enough for us, I'll take care of the rest!" Haybert muttered to herself.
Seeing a large number of demon beasts climbing the city wall, the long-range attacks of the demon beasts from the air were also significantly enhanced. Hayber immediately changed tactics.
"Musketeers, fire aerial traps and deal with the monsters flying in the air!, artillery teams, fire ice shells against the monsters that climb the walls," Haybell shouted.
In the dwarf musket team, everyone has a metal pipe in front of them, and there are countless net-like inscriptions on the metal pipe. They quickly picked up the metal pipe and aimed it at the army of demon beasts flying in the air, and pressed their palms on the inscription circle on the metal tube, injecting their spiritual power. Suddenly, a layer of white light wire quickly launched out of the metal tube and rose upward, and countless white wire nets were gradually connected together, forming a huge layer of white energy wire net. Present a rectangle towards the flying army.
When approaching the demon beast, it suddenly turned into a large net bag with a diameter of several hundred meters.
"Plop plop!"
One by one, the flying demon beasts were caught off guard and crashed into this big net pocket, making a mess. Flying about a thousand meters away, the mouth of the big net suddenly closed, a ball full of flying monsters fell to the ground, the monsters inside suffered heavy casualties, the flying army behind looked at it, all frightened, a pair of red-winged fiery phoenixes looked at the city of light with fire, stopped the figure of rushing forward, waved his hand back, and the flying army flew to a high ground next to him. Temporary remediation.
And the soul beasts who were already about to climb to the top of the city, when they climbed to the head of the city, suddenly saw dozens of turquoise round cannonballs flying down from the head of the city.
"Smack!"
The round cannonball shattered when it landed, and there was no energy overflow, but it emitted an incomparably strange cold, and the demon beasts around the cannonball shattered instantly turned into an ice sculpture, and the cold air spread with the city wall, quickly freezing the city wall, making the city wall extremely lubricated. The demon beast that climbed to the halfway waist of the city wall suddenly found that his claws had nowhere to be forced, and the city wall became extremely hard and lubricated, as if it had been poured lubricating oil, and one by one the demon beasts suddenly slid down, and the pressure on the city head suddenly decreased, and the demon beasts that slipped under the city wall swayed on the ice, falling to the ground in one step and three times in a delusional attempt to escape.
"Molotov cocktails, throw!" Haybert snorted coldly.
Porcelain vases filled with fire oil were quickly thrown from the hands of the dwarfs. These are not ordinary fireballs, they are equipped with some drugs with special formulas, all of which enhance the burning effect and burn viscosity, which also contain a large amount of white phosphorus, as long as it sticks a little, it will burn all the way to the bone, which is very painful.
White phosphorus incendiary bombs, which are specially made by the dwarves, due to the particularity of the dwarfs, there are not many martial artists who have become advanced in cultivation, in order to protect themselves, they have studied a lot of new technologies that are unbelievable to this world. New weapons. These weapons are simple and practical.
As far as the incendiary bomb is concerned, it is simply a weapon to defend the city. The most important thing is that it only needs to be ignited before it can be used, and it will explode after the collision, turning a certain range into a sea of fire, and it can continue to burn for a quarter of an hour, allowing you to cultivate as high as possible, stick to the flames, and lose the skin even if you don't die.
Especially for demon beasts, because most of the demon beasts evolved from beasts, the gene of fear of fire is imprinted in the bones, even if the flames can't hurt them to death, the instinctive fear will make them panic and have no will to fight.
These high-temperature incendiary bombs do not consume spiritual power, ordinary people can use them, and for a while, thousands of high-explosive incendiary bombs were thrown into the city, and a sea of fire was immediately ignited.
The demon beasts that had just slipped down the city wall gathered together with the demon beasts that had just arrived, and just as they were about to escape, they were shrouded in flames, and they roared wildly. In the sea of fire, he couldn't even care about hurting other demon beasts. In the face of the intense heat, the desperate were about to flee, and were beaten into a sieve by the dwarf musket team that had already been prepared.
The giant brain in the distance saw the raging fire, and also ordered the corpse turtle army to stop, analyzing the changes in the situation.
To say that the attack power of the demon beasts is actually not weak, but unfortunately, there are many varieties of demon beasts, and the skills are also varied.
In addition, the Chaos Divine Beast was swallowed by the colorful dragon, in this case, they had no leader, and they didn't know how to cooperate at all. Even if it is the long-range attack of the 10,000-year-old demon beast, it is all fought separately, like a plate of scattered sand, some attacks even collide in the air, canceling each other, and some directly blast the demon beasts that have reached the edge of the city away. The destruction of the City of Light is very limited.
Despite this, the dwarfs are still on the lookout. A momentary advantage doesn't mean anything. The beast tide still seems endless, and besides, there are many real demon beast powerhouses in Jiangshan Shejitu who are far from fighting?
The red-eyed monster beast frantically attacked the city of light, and the city of light guarded by the dwarf city defense army at the head of the city was impregnable, and the battle between the two sides completely entered a stalemate, and the demon beasts died in large numbers, and the dwarf's ammunition was sharply reduced, and it had reached the warning line.
For the cannon fodder monsters, they are using their lives to consume the reserves of the City of Light, but for the sake of the City of Light, every dwarf moves.
Whether it is a musket or an artillery, the service life is limited, Tiebei is the frequency of use of this high intensity, after continuing to fire to a certain extent, the internal inscription array will still be damaged, and the musket on the city wall has been changed several times. The broken muskets were piled up all over the city.
The key to protracted warfare is not the combat effectiveness of an army, but the logistical supply capability.
Therefore, if you want to be busy between battles, the busiest are the ordinary dwarfs, who have not become warriors and defend their homes with their spiritual power, but they have used another way to defend their cities, that is, to participate in the material transport team, and the dwarves do not have a Qiankun ring, so everything is carried on their shoulders.
A large number of ordinary dwarfs were divided into dozens of transport teams, each team consisted of eight hundred ordinary dwarfs, and a large amount of supplies were being quickly transported from these people towards the city wall.
When Haybert saw the shells and incendiary bombs behind him almost pile up into a small mountain after half an hour of fighting, this was the first time that a smile appeared on his face since the war began. It seems that the City of Light is really profound, and the savings of many years have finally come to use.
The attack lasted for a whole afternoon, but the use of various novel weapons simply suppressed the demon beasts and could not attack the city.
The tide of beasts is still raging, but the City of Light is like a solid reef, no matter how fierce the waves are, they can always hold them back.
The firepower on the head of the city is still strong, and it can suppress the demon beasts for the time being. Frost bombs are not easy to use, only after the demon beasts crawl all over the city, they will be released occasionally, and then the incendiary bombs are waiting, under this tactic, the demon beasts die a lot. Perhaps it hurt the monsters, and they gave up attacking for the time being.
Suddenly, the smell of corpses came from the south city gate, and Hayber fixed his eyes to see that it was a black corpse turtle insect attacking, only to see that the ground was full of black pressure insects.
Corpse turtles are different from demon beasts, their super thick armor is fireproof and freeze-proof, the original dwarf to deal with demon beasts is not used on these corpse turtles at all, even if these corpse turtles are killed by conventional methods, the corpse stench they emit after death is enough to kill everyone in the City of Light.
Just when the dwarf was anxious, a huge purple bracelet fell off from the colorful dragon, this bracelet is the bracelet of time and space worn by Night Fengyun, it turns out that Night Fengyun and Wind Dance, Hyacinth due to the absorption of chaos beasts, the area where they are located is solidified by the power of chaos, and they can't break free for a while.
But the mind has been paying attention to the battlefield situation below. Therefore, at a critical time, Nightstorm can only use the power of the void a total of three times when using this bracelet. I saw that the bracelet was hanging about five hundred meters above these corpse turtle insects, and the purple light that flashed with thunder and lightning light slowly enveloped this black and oppressive corpse turtle army, gradually forming a thunder and lightning circle with a diameter of one kilometer.
Within the scope of this thunder and lightning aperture, strange purple air currents began to appear, and when this purple air flow appeared, a strange scene like a starry sky flickered appeared within the black aperture. Immediately after, the one thousand meters in diameter suddenly emitted a burst of white light, followed by darkness, and all objects above the ground were empty, whether it was a corpse turtle or a demon beast corpse, all the matter that was originally within this range disappeared.
Endless Void, this is the ability of the bracelet that Night Fengyun got when he first entered the Afterlife, and the skill name is ""Endless Void" Unfortunately, this bracelet can only be used three times, so Night Fengyun has not been willing to use it before.
It was a range of a thousand meters in diameter, and in an instant, this piece of black-pressed corpse turtle disappeared directly from the battlefield, and there was even a troll-level existence among them. It was this blow that caused an open space to appear in front of the City of Light.
It all happened very quickly and weirdly. As a result, under the command of the giant brain, the indomitable corpse turtles were all in a panic, and the momentum of the charge came to an abrupt halt.
On the hill next to the center of the corpse turtle group in the distance, the face of the giant brain became very ugly, and it was not difficult for his intelligent brain to see that the strength of human beings was beyond their judgment. These humans have so many means of defense. and endless combat skills, even the Chaos Divine Beast was devoured.
Although the Chaos Divine Beast was dying before it died, its spiritual power reversed and temporarily sealed the Colorful Dragon, but looking at the small cracks in that space, it should not be long before the Colorful Dragon broke free from the seal.
Although the colorful dragon is temporarily sealed, without the Chaos Divine Beast, all the demon beasts will lack the belief in victory and unified command. Although the battle continued, the balance of victory had gradually tilted in favor of the dwarfs.
The first wave of the beast tide lasted for an afternoon, and outside the city of light, it was already a mess at this time, with large scorched black dead trees, and large pits everywhere, which were filled with blood-red colors, like blood-red diamonds inlaid on the plains, which made people shudder.
For the City of Light, this first battle was undoubtedly their victory, with very little damage to personnel, and only some ordinary warriors were occasionally affected by the long-range attacks of demon beasts. No more than 100 were killed in the war, and no more than a few hundred were wounded. The soul beasts and corpse turtles killed and injured by them were at least tens of thousands of them, and they also killed the most feared Chaos Divine Beast, although it was not them, but a big stone hanging in their hearts finally disappeared.
And the wounded or dead on their side, as long as they are not headshot, will be saved, because there is a mysterious place in the City of Light, and that place is one of the reasons why the demon beasts and corpse turtles are so desperate to attack the City of Light, of course, the attack on the City of Light is also related to the order of the Chaos Divine Beast, but the Chaos Divine Beast has died, and most of the reason for attacking the City of Light is for this feng shui treasure.
The biggest problem in the City of Light is that the number of city defenses is insufficient, because the warriors of the dwarfs are generally small, so there are less than 10,000 people on the four walls.
After an afternoon of fighting, they were exhausted, and they had not advanced a drop of water, although they had been trained for a long time, but after all, they were still young and lacked actual combat experience, and it was the first time they had seen such a large-scale war, and it was rare to have no stage fright.
Perhaps, it sounds like an army of 10,000 warriors can be regarded as an invincible army among human beings, but what they have to face now is an almost endless army of beast tides and corpse turtle insects.
After a great battle, the tiredness of the body, the tiredness of the mind, and the consumption of spiritual power were all revealed.
"Whoosh!"
Three signal flares were emitted from the command tower in the center of the City of Light, which was a signal to rest and eat, and it seemed that the demon beasts and corpse turtles were also tired and rested, so the City of Light gained temporary peace.
A large number of noisy footsteps were heard, and the dwarf convoy brought a steaming delicious meal, and the dwarf immediately ate on the spot, rested, and prepared for the next war.
The second round of monsters arrived a little later than expected. The soul beast also seemed to be tired, and rested for more than two hours.
When it was getting late and the sky was full of stars, a terrible beast roar sounded, and a large number of demon beasts appeared on the other side of the plain again. Monsters aren't all stupid, their eyes are structured to make them see at night as if they were day, while humans have limited vision at night.
Therefore, fighting at night is much more unfavorable for human beings than during the day, not only because of eyesight, but also because human beings have become accustomed to the life of working at sunrise and living at sunset, and their spirits will be much more concentrated during the day, and they are easy to get sleepy at night.
Demon beasts and corpse turtles are different, they are both diurnal and nocturnal. They are better at fighting at night.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and the endless tide of beasts was surging, rushing towards the City of Light again. This time, they are even more turbulent, as if they will not stop until they have achieved their goal. I
The night artillery fire exploded again in the City of Light like fireworks, and the monsters and corpse turtles quietly approached the City of Light under the cover of night. The collision between the two sides soon entered a white-hot state.
The dwarfs fought bravely, and the monsters and corpses formed an alliance and charged wildly. The flames under the city of light continued to devour the lives of demon beasts.
But the attack of the demon beasts has also improved significantly compared to the first time, and it is actually divided into melee combat, corps and distance combat corps. The monsters that are good at long-range attacks and the monsters who are good at melee combat are obviously separated, and they are no longer mixed together to rush forward, and the long-range support is behind to suppress the dwarven musket team at the head of the city. The short-range rushed to the four gates in desperation.
However, even so, with the support of a large number of weapons and ammunition, they still carried it hard. At the head of the city, the casualties of the dwarfs began to increase. Every time some attack landed on the city, there would be screams, injuries and deaths.
However, every time a dwarf dies, it is poured into a green liquid, and after a while, the dead dwarf is resurrected and thrown into battle.
The battlefield at night was even more dazzling, and the light and shadow of various colors of spiritual skills were constantly flickering and erupting in the air. The sky is like a dazzling firework, and each fireworks blooms to represent the possibility of life being ended.
War is cruel, the war between humans and humans, and the war between humans and monsters, in order to resist the surging beasts, every dwarf is stuck to his post and works hard for defense.
This battle, compared with the first wave of beast tides, has increased in intensity several times. When the beast tide finally faded again, the sky was already dawning, and this battle was fought all night.
There was no longer peace on the city, and there was a lot of groaning. The number of dead and wounded has exceeded 2,000, and despite the treatment of the mysterious green potion, more than 500 dwarfs have been killed by their heads blown out.
