Chapter 923: Defense

There are many more ghost claw monsters in Nanling Harbor than imagined.

Probably due to the severe setback of the landing on Linglan Island, many of the Ghostclaw Monsters then began to make their way to the Blue River Manor and Nanling Harbor.

Then they hit a serious wall again at the Blue River Manor.

Just as Lin Yun predicted at the beginning.

The hordes of Phantom Claw Monsters were helpless in the face of the cliffs more than twenty meters high behind the Blue River Manor and the smooth and heavy protective wall, and after tossing for more than half an hour, most of the Phantom Claw Monsters had to turn around and turn to Nanling Harbor in a huff.

As a result, the pressure on Nanling Port suddenly increased.

The number of claw monsters detected by the echo detection system near Nanling Harbor is as high as three or four thousand.

When the Ghost Claw Monster began to attack, the Xingfu and Xingye had just arrived, and the personnel on the ship had not even had time to withdraw before the Ghost Claw Monster began to attack.

In a hurry, the defense system was not even built.

Hundreds of Ghostclaw Monsters surged up, scattered but deadly to the workers who were building fortifications.

The current general person in charge of Nanling Port is Fengyingshuang, and the dispatcher is Lin Yun, but the people who assist them are not small, Yang Hong Tieying and his wife are here, and the two team leaders of the Mu family, Lei Peng and Ren Zhong, are also here, these people are all green-level masters.

plus Feng Yingruo, Jian Chengli, Chen Bin, Li Tiancheng, Li Jiawei, and the masters of the Shangguan family and the wealthy families in Haiyang District, etc., as well as the military's troops, as well as the absolute combat police.

There are more than 300 regular warriors, more than 400 quasi-warriors, 38 absolute combat police, and more than 600 military soldiers. There are more than 400 auxiliary personnel of various types, and the total number is probably more than 2,000.

Other than that. Armament, there were twenty-six heavy tanks. Thirty-four armored vehicles, plus an anti-aircraft missile battalion and three rocket battalions, were specially designed to deal with the Red Demon Dragon.

There are three dedicated giant impact vehicles, and at least two hundred super magic cobwebs.

At about half past seven in the morning, the Spectral Monster began to land.

But the container hurdle has not yet been erected.

In order to cover the workers, Wind Shadow Frost herself took the lead, and she, Yang Hong and his wife, as well as Lei Peng Ren Zhong and several other green-level masters, rushed out to kill those ghostly claw monsters that broke in head-on.

Five or six masters with a green-level cultivation level or above made a move, and it was definitely not something that those phantom claw monsters could resist.

Soon. They forced the Spectreclaw back as they had approached.

But the phantom claw monsters immediately changed their strategy, and in the face of interception, as soon as they came ashore, they scattered and separated, although the wind shadow frost and their cultivation was high, but they could not stand their large numbers, and the speed was fast, and they were scattered all over the place, attacking humans. Especially those workers who have little to no resistance.

Seeing this scene, the high-level cultivators of the second echelon of the reserve immediately stepped forward, and dozens of yellow-level and orange-level martial artists who had cultivated to the late-stage level rushed forward.

Start plugging the leak.

Then came the third echelon. Under the protection of superior equipment, they also fought bravely.

Soon, the hundreds of ghostclaw monsters that rushed to the harbor were divided and wiped out in the blink of an eye. The harbor was littered with the corpses of the Ghostclaw.

But. There have been many casualties on the human side.

But most of them were workers, three died. More than 20 people were wounded.

"Quick, hurry up and close the hole." Wind Shadow stood on top of the container stacked more than ten meters high, looking at the steady stream of ghostly claw monsters in the distance, and shouted loudly.

Soon the workers at the scene immediately restarted.

However, because many ghost claw monster corpses blocked it, the loophole was not completely blocked.

Once the corpses of the claws were removed, the second wave of the claw's impact arrived.

Luckily, by the time the second wave of Spectral Claws rushed over, the gap had already been closed.

The gap they placed was about twelve or thirteen meters wide, and could accommodate five ghostclaw monsters at the same time.

The length of the gap was about a hundred meters long, so if the Spectral Claw rushed in, it would be trapped in a space of more than a thousand square meters.

Wind Shadow Frost divided the more than 300 warriors into fifteen teams, each team of twenty people, five teams for mobile combat, and the other ten teams were responsible for plugging the gap.

Soon, the Spectral Claw stepped on the corpse of its companion and began to pound wildly.

Trying to break through this narrow blockade and go deep into the interior.

But they were immediately met head-on, and the twenty-six tanks were divided into four groups, the first team with its muzzles raised flat, the second with its muzzles diagonally upward, and then loaded with armor-piercing shells and launched a salvo of six rounds.

It's like a platoon gun shooting.

The first round was a small elevation projectile from the rear row of tanks, followed by the penultimate row, then the third, and finally a flat shot from the front row.

"Boom!" After the first round passed, the Phantom Claw Monster running in front instantly fell down, and the Phantom Claw Monster behind was just about to rush up, when the second round of shelling came again, and they were blown down in a large area at once.

These shells are specially designed to deal with the Spectreclaw, and the ends are all flowering, which increases the blast yield.

After spinning at high speed, it hits the Spectral Monster, which can easily burrow into it and explode inside.

So basically, as long as this special bomb is hit into the body, it is a hit and an accurate, the only problem is that the shell of the claw monster is relatively smooth, and if they dodge it, it is easy to bounce off.

But when the group rushed in, they huddled together, and there was nowhere to hide.

After a few volleys, the lying Talon formed a small mountain.

The rate of fire of a heavy tank is 10 rounds per minute, one shot in six to ten seconds, and one shot in four groups is exactly two seconds.

That's just enough speed to suppress the Spectreclaw's charge.

Still, the Spectral Monsters pounced on their companions, stepping on the corpses of their companions.

And relying on the slight time difference, he slowly moved the charging line forward by at least twenty meters.

There were also many fish that slipped through the net, dodging the artillery fire and approaching the artillery array constructed by the tank battalion, but as soon as they came up, they immediately killed the human warriors guarding on both sides.

Under the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, the ghost claw monsters who followed one after another still had no intention of retreating.

And soon, they piled up a thick mountain of corpses with corpses.

The muzzle of the tank also had to begin to adjust upwards. As the corpses of the Spectral Claws pile higher and higher.

Storm Shadow Frost only realized that there was a problem, if the Spectral Claws were so unafraid of death. There will be a big hole in this barrier that they have put up.

At a distance of more than 100 meters, the corpses of at least 300 ghost-claw monsters had been piled up.

But at the same time, the corridor surrounded by containers more than ten meters high has become meaningless. The claw climbed up the corpse, then pounced on it.

Some even climbed into the shipping containers and pounced on humans from a high position.

But they were met with a dense range of machine guns fired from armored combat vehicles.

Although it was not lethal enough, due to the heavy firepower, those ghostly claw monsters were also beaten back again and again.

Some were shot too much and were still killed.

If you don't die, after you land, you will immediately be surrounded by the warriors on the ground and solve it on the spot.

But. More and more Spectral Monsters still rushed to the container pile, and jumped down without fear of death, some fell to their deaths, some broke their legs, but some survived.

They immediately began to attack the humans who had been waiting for a long time.

After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, more than 500 of them had died, and the deliberately left corridor was completely blocked, and the Ghostclaw could only rush up the steep slope they had built out of corpses, and then on the container pile. Engage in a duel with the humans who have been deployed for a long time.

However, on the container, the phantom claw monster still suffered a lot of losses, and the weight of the human warriors was not too heavy, and they jumped freely on it. But the claws are huge, and many times, they step on them hard. They will fall into the container with their bodies together, and their long legs will sink into the tin box. It's hard to come out.

But even so, there are more and more Spectre Monsters.

on the container. More and more Spectreclaw Monsters rushed forward, and soon, as the Spectral Monsters gathered more and more, the number of casualties increased.

There is also less and less room for humans to stand on the container.

There are only a few people who can still gain a foothold on it, such as Feng Yingshuang and Yang Hong and his wife, as well as Lei Peng and others.

But soon, several bloody claws began to appear.

In order to preserve their strength and strength, they had to retreat from the top of the container.

"Retreat to the second line of defense." Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Storm Shadow immediately ordered a retreat to the second line of defense.

That was agreed in advance.

They knew very well that a single line of defense could not prevent so many Phantom Claw Monsters, so they also set up a second line of defense, and they had already arranged for people to start building a third line of defense.

The second line of defense is to rely on tanks and armored vehicles, and then force the Talon attack route against the large buildings in the harbor.

However, compared to the first line of defense, it is a little weaker.

If you really can't do it, you can only rely on bloody battles to slow down the attack of the Ghost Claw.

After all, they'd been able to block the Spectral Monster's attack for almost two hours now.

And according to the plan, they must hold out for at least four hours to keep the vast majority of citizens safe.

There was too little time for them, and it was only a short time of three or four hours from the discovery of the Phantom Claw's attempt to land to the time they built a defensive line, and it was difficult to build a decent defensive line at all.

"Count the casualties."

After the humans retreated, and the tanks and armored vehicles suppressed the Spectral Monster's attack with firepower, Storm Shadow quickly caused the participants to begin to adjust and check the casualties.

Soon, there were preliminary results, five human warriors were killed and more than 20 were injured, and the workers and some support personnel at the scene were killed and more than 40 were injured.

Seven military soldiers were killed and 18 wounded.

It can be said that there are still quite a few casualties.

However, looking at the corpses of the ghost-clawed monsters lying all over the ground in front of him, the number was almost a thousand, and in comparison, humans were considered a great victory.

You must know that under the same circumstances, the firepower of the Mi people was so fierce, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured, which barely resisted the impact of the ghostly claw monster.

According to the preliminary statistics of the rice people, the death exchange ratio between the ghost claw monster and the human is one to thirteen, and the death of a ghost claw monster is exchanged for the lives of thirteen rice people.

Even if they are replaced with combat personnel, the ratio has reached one to five.

The 32 Group killed only twenty people, but the Phantom Claw Monster paid the price of nearly a thousand.

Of course, there is still no comparison between the two sides.

On the side of the 32 Group, they have prepared in advance and dug a pit to deal with the Phantom Claw Monster, and the level of understanding of the relevant personnel against the Phantom Claw Monster is not comparable to that of the United States.

Of course, there is nothing to show off, after all, from the topography, the 32 Group occupies an absolute advantage, and many people did not participate in the war, in fact, only some of the main attackers were in the battle.

It was the weapons of the military that really made a difference.

But then the crisis came, because the military's ammunition has begun to be a little insufficient, and the shells in the tanks are now being used to store ammunition, and once they are exhausted, they can only fight hand-to-hand.

"How's the people in the city going?" Wind Shadow Frost herself was already out of breath, and in the past two hours, she had been exhausted by using the inner element continuously and using remote techniques many times to rescue the danger.

And the next moment was the hardest moment, so her only thought now was to let these warriors who had risked their lives to resist the Talon Monster rest as soon as possible.

Soon, as soon as the Spectral Monster had completely taken over the container, it launched an attack on the second line of human defense.

The open land fueled their movements, and they leapt from the container, and the momentum began to charge at the second line of defense they had formed.

But soon, the armored fighting vehicles taught them a hard lesson with crossfire.

Then the tank began to fire, blasting the Spectre into the air as it sped up.

However, these appetizers could not stop the attack of the Spectral Monsters, and after dozens of Spectral Monsters fell, some of the Spectral Monsters soon broke through the fireline and began to attack.

"Launch!"

Dozens of demonic cobwebs erupted, instantly trapping the ghostly claw monsters that rushed up.

Wind Shadow Frost and more than a dozen other martial artists with relatively high cultivation levels jumped out, pouring their ranged skills behind those trapped Phantom Claw Monsters, blocking the backup of those trapped Phantom Claw Monsters.

Then dozens of experienced monster slayer warriors rushed forward, and the war knives in their hands desperately beckoned to the vital points of those trapped monsters.

At the cost of four injuries, more than thirty ghost-claw monsters that were impacted by the forward were directly killed collectively.

The corpses of the lying Ghostclaw were piled up in front of everyone's eyes.

The Spectre didn't give up, and subsequent attacks followed.

Launched the Demon Cobwebs again, and then Wind Shadow Frost and the others slew more than a dozen Ghost Claw Monsters again.

But the Spectral Monster still pounced on him without fear of life or death.

Soon, they stepped over the corpses of their companions and swooped down on the humans guarding the second line of defense.

Although most of them were basically injured and disabled before they even landed, once they fell into the crowd, many people would be injured with a wave of their giant claws.

At first, Wind Shadow Frost was barely able to block them, but as there were more and more Ghost Claw Monsters, more and more of them, the military tank could kill two Ghost Claw Monsters with a single shell.

The second line of defense was in danger after less than half an hour of being in the town. (To be continued......)
