Chapter 162: The Monster Siege Begins!
"Woooooooooooo The work was not allowed to do it! ”
The next day, Rimuru, who rushed to work in the hotel, was depressed to find that because of the sudden outbreak of the monster siege, the entire Canglan City has now entered a state of martial law, and all civilian shops are closed.
At the same time, all incapacitated residents were asked to take refuge in the nearest shelter.
Yes, monster siege!
The loud bang last night seemed to mean that the monsters had breached a wall to the west and used that wall as a breach, and then a large group of monsters began to pour into the city.
And these monsters, who knew by their appearances that came from the Demon Realm, came to this world after passing through a temporary space passage that appeared outside the city walls without knowing how.
It is said that there are also many elite monsters that initially set their sights on the side of the Colosseum, as if they wanted to destroy the summoning circle built inside.
Fortunately, although Canglan City is short of manpower, the city guards are still very powerful.
At this point, with the help of a portion of the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace, the army was able to barely control the situation.
Not only did he completely destroy all the demonic creatures who went to the Great Arena, but he also established fortifications on the street in front of the hole in the city wall, although he couldn't find time to completely block the hole in the city wall at this time, but at least with the help of the three-dimensional attack formation established on the city wall and the fortifications, all the monsters that rushed in were finally wiped out near the hole.
At least for the time being, there is no need to worry about threatening the residents of the city.
And how did Limulu and Tan Nianwei know in such detail?
Naturally, after Limulu found out that he had no success at work, he had to follow Tan Nianwei and hide in an underground shelter near the hotel.
And this information was learned from the information that everyone in the shelter passed on to each other.
I have to admit that although there is darkness in this world, maybe because of too much pressure to survive, those villains or something either can't live long, or they have completely become bandits and robbers and are rejected by human society.
Therefore, the information transmitted here is basically a truth-seeking description of the current situation, without exaggeration, and no one is fed up for fear that the world will not be chaotic and spread rumors.
Well, troubled times use heavy canons.
In fact, the Canglan Empire has long been aware of the dangers of this kind of rumor-mongering, and has set extremely severe punishment standards.
The light ones want to fill the army and become a member of the trapped camp, and to put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder.
Surviving is considered a successful atonement, and dying on the battlefield is considered to be the last residual heat of human society.
In the worst cases, if you are lucky, you can be executed and killed, and in the worst cases, you may even be sacrificed to some terrifying magic rituals, not only the body will die, but the soul will also be reduced to the fuel of magic and the soul will be scattered - survival is a problem, so the lower limit of this world on some moral levels is relatively low, at least in order to survive, they don't care about using those seemingly very evil means to protect themselves.
In addition, some professions have a certain degree of polygraph ability, and you can find out if you are malicious rumors, and you don't have to worry about wronging good people at all.
Therefore, at this moment of panic, Limulu and Tan Nianwei not only easily learned that there was no false information, but also understood that it seemed that this kind of stalemate might be delayed for a long time.
There is no way, although even the Praetorian Guards in the palace have been dispatched, but the main forces of the Canglan Empire have been pinned down at the forefront in the end, and the defensive force on the side of Canglan City is still a little weak.
And although that spatial passage is a temporary passage, it is extremely stable, and the opposite side seems to lead to a certain secret realm of the demon realm full of monsters.
Although it seems that these monsters have nothing to do with the demon king's army invading from the demon world, they seem to be derived from the trend of the origin of the world, and they still aim to set up a large arena that summons the magic circle, and all kinds of monsters with terrifying appearances are endlessly integrated into the city, and they frantically pounce on the big arena.
So much so that the city defense army and the Praetorian Guard, not to mention the closed space passage to repair the city wall, even the defense was very reluctant at this time.
Even because they couldn't get enough rest after a night of fighting, at this time, in fact, many fighters had lost their strength and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.
So much so that the commander of the city guard had to temporarily recruit professionals in the city to become a reserve team at this time, intending to use these ordinary professionals who have not undergone combat training to rise to the top at a critical juncture - although everyone knows that many people will die if they do this, but in order for more people to live, most people in this world are actually ready to sacrifice their lives to protect the country and their relatives!
Of course, because one of Limulu and Tan Nianwei is a little Lori and the other is a cook, naturally no one will pull them into the army.
Therefore, the two of them are also happy and relaxed at this time.
Sitting on the slightly hard ground of the shelter, the two of them ate and drank happily.
Tan Nianwei's magic backpack was used by Sui Yu, and the internal space was originally larger than most magic backpacks, and when she heard that she was going to hide in a shelter temporarily, Limulu used her predator skill to take away a small half of the store's ingredients before going out.
So, the two of them sat here, one of them kept pulling out all kinds of vegetables and fruits, chickens, ducks and fish from the bottom of the skirt, and the other took a frying pan and a kitchen knife to launch the chef's skills to cook on the spot, which was very lively.
It even attracted a lot of people around and had to spend a lot of money to buy some food with the two of them to fill their stomachs.
Well, Rimuru's strange ability to infect can make everyone who sees her eat hungry, and it's hard to think of it without paying for it.
Fortunately, the world has always paid great attention to the transmission of positive energy, and things like forcing others to pay for themselves and enjoy their own achievements have been done many years ago.
Fair trade, willing to fight.
So everyone didn't have any emotions, but while eating Tan Nianwei's grilled mutton skewers around the two girls, they chatted with each other about this monster siege.
"It's strange to say, the walls of our Canglan City are the top enchanted walls that have been tested by many wars. Not only is it extremely sturdy and solid, but the enchantment is also checked and repaired by someone every day, how can that group of monsters be easily defeated? ”
"No! Even if the city wall is deliberately demolished, I am afraid that it is necessary to identify the weaknesses of the structure and use multi-point blasting to demolish it in a short time! ”
"Huh? Speaking of blasting, last night's explosion was also very weird! I was living over there, and I heard the sound and direction that it was clear that the explosion was not happening outside the walls, but inside the walls! ”
"What? Inside the city walls? Could it be that there is an inner ghost?! ”
Everyone was shocked, thinking of the location and timing of the appearance of the group of monsters, and the explosion that sounded in the city at the same time, followed by everyone present was furious.
Human rape is an extremely hateful existence in any world!
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense! In case it is misunderstood as a rumor, I can't stand it! The old man who broke the shocking information hurriedly touched a cold sweat and reminded everyone not to spread it.
He was just guessing with his own experience, what was going on, and he wasn't sure, if it caused a bad impact, it would be a big trouble!
However, he was not sure, and a refugee who seemed to be from near the walls of the West City frowned and said, "But when you say that, I do remember that on the night of the incident, I did see a group of transcendents carrying large bags and small bags walking towards the edge of the city wall when it was almost dark, and at the same time, I also seemed to have heard that someone saw the group of people placing those bags in specific places on the city wall. I didn't feel anything before, thinking it was just a normal maintenance of the city defense, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the group of people was really preparing for the fixed-point blasting at that time! ”
Speaking of this, the evacuee flashed a badge and continued, "I am a magic apprentice, although I don't have much combat power, but my perception of magic fluctuations is still relatively keen!" And that day, I felt that there was something strange about the package that those transcendents were carrying! Because there was a very obvious wave of magic power coming from inside! ”
"Thinking about it carefully, I can basically be sure that those packages are all low-level demon cores!"
"Demon Core?!"
Everyone was shocked, and then the good education made them instantly think according to their common sense: "Could it be that the explosion is used to trigger the magic power stored in the magic core to produce a magical explosion!" ”
"Shhh Everyone gasped and exclaimed: "This! What a big deal! ”
Yes, although the core can be purchased for money in some magic shops, the value of this thing is a bit high.
Therefore, only large cities can be lit at night by magic lamps, because the magic power of magic lamps basically comes from the magic provided by the magic circle that envelops the entire city.
Only the great nobles could afford to use the magic lamp with the magic core as the energy core, and as such, once they left the city, the travelers who were outside could only use torches and magic candles for lighting.
Just like Sui Yu, who is more economical, when he left the city before, he bought a lot of magic candles and planned to use them for lighting in the tent when he was camping outside.
And for convenience, Sui Yu also specially lit it and threw it into the backpack space - anyway, the backpack space can be preserved, which naturally includes the state of burning.
At the same time, although everyone also knows that the magic core can be used as a bomb, the essence of the most popular magic bomb on the market is that the magic array gathers magic power and then detonates this magic power, and then pushes the fragments to kill through the impact of the magic power explosion instead of directly detonating the magic core.
But he didn't expect that a group of people used the magic core as an explosive object to blow up the city wall, which had to cast a deep shadow on the hearts of everyone present - since the other party is so rich and has such a big hand, it is not possible to make a big plan!
So, while the other side blows up the walls and traps the defenders in front of the hole, there won't be some other conspiracy, right?
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
I'm really afraid of something!
When everyone analyzed such a conspiracy, and someone immediately ran out to find someone to report, a series of explosions suddenly began to occur in many places in Canglan City!
Feeling the powerful magic fluctuation at the nearest explosion point, Limulu nodded slightly and said to Tan Nianwei: "Aunt Tan, what a strong magic fluctuation!" Looks like they're using the core as a bomb! What a pity! The Magic Core is a very nutritious Mul! ”
As she spoke, Rimuru's saliva was about to flow.
However, just when Tan Nianwei was about to habitually refute "Don't call me aunt", Limulu's eyes suddenly changed, and then she shouted to Tan Nianwei with a look of surprise: "Ah! I spotted a bunch of walking cores passing by our door! ”
With that, Rimuru rushed out.
Seeing the figure of Limulu rushing out, Tan Nianwei was a little confused at first, and then her expression changed: "Demon core!" Not good! Explode! ”
"Rimuru! Be careful! ”
