Chapter 268: Defending the City (4)

No wonder there are fewer insects in other areas, and the insects at the level of alien beasts are even rarer, and they are all attracted to the city gate by the legionnaires.

The Legion's kills are efficient, silently harvesting the lives of mutant insects, and the round pile of insect corpses is getting higher and higher.

Jacques looked distractedly at Fat Orange's shared vision, although he understood the combat method of the legion, but he expressed doubt, "The higher the pile of insect corpses, the more dangerous the people in the back row will be, and there are always bugs jumping over, which is dangerous and affects their rest." ”

But Claudia is still persuading him not to be so careful, and it is not wrong for Zipewa to be careful, what if he is breached......

"The Eleventh Legion has 3,500 men in Zipewa! No city in the New World has stationed so many men! York City has only stationed 2,000 troops! This is a great waste! Not to mention how many source stones have to be consumed here every year......" As a civil servant in the imperial capital, Fran complained about this, and everyone also expressed understanding.

The three water healers were the most relaxed, but Fran had a somewhat bad complexion, and he said that Zipewa had exaggerated the dangers of the beast tide, and that a large part of the New World's taxes were deducted each year for the construction of the city's defenses and the maintenance of the legions and city guards.

After a busy day, several friends finally gathered together and chattered about the story that happened to them today.

An idea came to Jacques's mind, but he quickly denied it, and after nearly a hundred years of development, the city of Zipewa would not be mistaken.

- Have there never been night raids?

The flatbed carriages of the town hall hung lanterns to collect insect corpses outside the city, but the insect corpses near the city walls were burned by the flames, and they could only collect scattered insect corpses in the wilderness.

The city wall was brightly lit, and the gas lamps and source stone lamps were all lit, not only illuminating the head of the city, but also the range of 300 meters below the city was clearly illuminated by the lights.

Jacques knew that according to the records, the beast tide would not attack at night, but the transcendents could not leave the walls, and could only rest in the rest area under the base of the walls.

The second wave of beast tides did not stop until the sun set in the evening, and the legionnaire ants who were pressing the formation also withdrew to Lin Zheng

The floating grandmasters will also take turns to return to the city to rest, and they are the main force against the alien beast-level bugs in the insect swarm. During the period when Fat Orange squatted on the city tower to observe, fifteen grandmasters came in and out one after another, and it seemed that most of the grandmasters were concentrated here at the city gate, and in the area where Jacques was located, one grandmaster was responsible for four sections.

Taking turns attacking and resting, the Legionnaires were able to maintain their stamina and energy to fight the swarm.

After the corpses were cleaned up, two groups of legionnaires also completed the change of guards, one group slowly returned to the city, and the other group formed a circle in front of the city gate.

The skillful formation of the legionnaires, as well as the way the town hall efficiently collected the insect corpses for the staff, all showed that the city of Zipewa had made a lot of preparations for these alien beast materials.

The biggest benefit that the beast tide brought to Zipewa was the corpses of these mutated insects, from which many precious materials could be extracted. Curiously, these mutated insects are rarely encountered in rainforests, which is why these materials are rare.

In just over ten minutes, the piles of insect corpses were cleaned up.

Men in town hall uniforms jumped out of the wagon, quickly shoveled the worm corpses onto the flatbed wagon, and pulled the cart back to the city when it was full.

After cleaning up the mutated insects in the semicircle, many flatbed carriages drove out of the city gate.

The first two rows of legionnaires resisted the siege of the swarm, while the legionnaires in the back row, in groups of five, killed all the scattered mutated insects in the semicircle, and then returned to their phalanx

The circle suddenly expanded outward, and the strong shield smashed through the three layers of insect corpses, and the circle opened and connected with the other two arrays, and the twenty-four phalanx formed a semicircle in front of the city gate.

The second-row legion warriors in the circle also activated the Synergy Source Energy Technique, but instead of the "Phalanx", they were replaced by "Strong Shields", and another layer of protective shield was added to the spears.

The phalanx spread out to both sides, six on each side, and the legionnaires in the front row began to cast the "phalanx", the spears killed the insects that pounced, and the phalanx advanced.

The legionnaires in the city finally came out, and the twelve phalanxes lined up at the city gates.

Although most of the mutant insects were still attacking the circle, there were still some mutant insects that turned their heads and rushed towards the humans at the city gate, and were quickly cut to the ground by the warriors in the front row.

Another drum sounded, the gates opened, and the legionnaires at the gate slowly walked out of the gate in a row.

Thousands of legionnaires lined up in the streets of the city, and it seemed that they were about to replace the twelve phalanxes outside.

"Hey, I see. ”

However, the movement in the city alarmed Fat Orange, who was originally squatting on the city gate tower to watch the battle, turned its head around to the other side of the roof and looked behind the city gate.

"Show the Emperor, what will you do now?" said Fat Orange to himself.

The wounded were evacuated to the center of the circle and immediately returned to their posts after being given emergency care by medical personnel.

After this change of formation, the legion's circular formation lasted for more than half an hour, and the swarm had not stopped attacking, but the legionnaires had been wounded one after another, most of whom were bitten by mutated insects that jumped into the formation.

Fat Orange had already counted the number of legionnaires, and each phalanx had been a hundred before, for a total of twelve hundred phalanxes.

The herald beat the drum again, and the circle shrank again, but this time three squares took the center of the circle and substituted for the rear of the other squares, reducing the number of squares facing the swarm to nine.

After more than half an hour, the new pile of insect corpses was more than two meters high.

New piles of corpses have accumulated again.

- Interesting.

Not long after, the herald's drums sounded, and the circular formation shrank to the center, and although the distance between people was reduced, the distance between the legionnaires in the front row and the pile of insect corpses was nearly ten meters.

His worries, the legion naturally has a way to solve it.

Jacques still needs to focus on the battle on his side, only to watch for more than ten seconds before disconnecting his vision and returning to deal with his enemies.

"It's a loophole, but the Emperor thinks they'll have a way to fix it. ”

Jacques wanted to tell the story of the battle that Fat Orange had seen on the roof of the castle and refute Fran's arbitrary opinion. But there are too many outsiders around, and he doesn't want others to know his own secrets. And when he usually comes into contact with Fran and Claudia, the Yacough people also tacitly protect Fat Tangerine, and don't let people outside the group know about Fat Tangerine's specialness.

Before it was Jacques' turn, a soft voice said: "The main force of the beast tide is attracted by the legion at the city gate, and there are ten times as many alien beasts over there as we have here, and they are out of the city to fight against the swarm......

Everyone turned their heads to look at the chubby Fernando.
