Chapter 227: Total War
Meng Yang stood above the wall of despair, looking at the horizon in the distance.
Beside him, the loud roar of the rumbling magic crystal cannon continued to sound, and the blue pillars of energy light illuminated the four fields, like fireworks rising one after another, blooming with boundless brilliance under the huge pressure of such a crisis.
"Monsters are already attacking the city in various districts." Standing behind Meng Yang, Phoenix carried the longbow on her back and said in a slow tone.
Since the outbreak of the Demon Tide, Phoenix has begun to dispatch the aborigines of various urban areas, and has begun to enter the most tense defense stage.
As far as the aborigines are concerned, from the appearance of Meng Yang to the establishment of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone can be regarded as having a peaceful life for a while, but now is the time when the demon tide breaks out, and large-scale monsters are coming, and now I don't know what the specific situation will be, everyone can only muster their strength and continue to speed up the work at hand.
The industrial equipment and manpower of the eighth district have hardly been rested, and all kinds of materials are sent in nervously, and then the materials produced are hurriedly transported to the various urban districts.
Some bed crossbows and three-bow bed crossbows, which had been used relatively little, were all moved out of the warehouse at this time, and they were carried towards the city wall in one shot, and there were also some important building nodes, or well-preserved relatively high roofs, which were also equipped with magic crystal cannons and bed crossbows.
Many players may ignore or be reluctant to go to places, such as the summoning circle in the city, these organized aborigines, at this time, all went up and spontaneously began to defend them.
"We must coordinate the manpower, especially the aborigines, if we can't do anything, we can withdraw the aborigines first, and let the people from the other world take over."
When Meng Yang heard Phoenix's words, he didn't turn his head, but he whispered his plan in his mouth.
There is only one life for the aborigines, and although it is a life-and-death battle, if they can, Meng Yang still hopes that they can save themselves as much as possible. This war has been simulated many times in Meng Yang's mind, and he has been actively preparing, but war is such a thing, no matter how you prepare for it, there will never be a time when it will be completely sufficient.
"It's not just about otherworldly people."
Hearing Meng Yang's instructions, Phoenix glanced at Meng Yang slightly sideways, and instead of agreeing as in the past, she gave a rather surprising answer.
Meng Yang slowly turned his head and glanced at Phoenix, only to see that the female shooter's expression still didn't seem to be too nervous, and even the moment Meng Yang turned his head, there seemed to be a sense of detachment on his delicate face.
"City ...... City Lord, you and the Otherworlders have done so much, and all the natives, including me, have been sheltered, and those of us who survived know this. Phoenix's voice was cold, and her tone was light but not serious, "But, the outbreak of the demon tide, this is definitely not just a matter for people from the other world, it is a matter for each of us." If the sacrifice is inevitable, then everything is worth it. ”
"Now is not the time to say that."
Meng Yang waved his hand, he was naturally clear about Phoenix's thoughts, and even many survivors and aborigines had similar thoughts.
It seems that the hope of surviving is given by him, so now is the time to repay him. But Meng Yang never had such a big consideration, what he originally thought was to keep himself alive, and then for this goal, he needed to unite more people, whether it was the aborigines of this world or the players of another world, he needed everyone to unite and work hard, so that he could have a chance to survive after this magic tide.
Phoenix didn't continue to talk about the subject, and by this time it was useless to talk about it, and the natives of her organization were already moving.
They will naturally prove in their later actions that even with the help of the otherworldly, everyone will not just sit back and relax, but will fully integrate into it, and truly face the monster attack after the outbreak of the demon tide.
"The number of monsters is increasing, and the use of magic crystal energy must be reasonably controlled."
Meng Yang had already checked the evacuation of the magic crystal mine outside the ninth city city before, and the last batch of magic crystal mines delivered to the warehouse was still necessary for the next perseverance.
Coupled with the long-term reserves of the previous Desperate City, as well as the magic energy collector invented by the native, at least Meng Yang was confident that there would not be a shortage of energy in the short term.
But even so, in such a situation, for the energy of the magic crystal ore, it still needs to be reasonably distributed, in addition to weapons and equipment, the player's death resurrection, etc., all need to consume a lot of magic crystal ore and magic energy to continue.
"I've already explained to Sheridan and Sheila, and now everything is focused on dealing with the monster invasion."
After hearing Meng Yang's words, Phoenix quickly replied, she is not very binding on players, except for a few players who are willing to learn combat skills or awakened physical skills with her, most players don't have much awe of her.
But the aborigines are different, even in the third city that has not long been incorporated into the entire City of Despair, some of the families of the Eastern Continent in it are still obedient and respectful to her deployment.
Looking at the chaotic forest of bones in front of her, Phoenix paused slightly, looked at Meng Yang and said:
"City Lord, do you want to evacuate from the city wall, the monsters here are increasing, and soon there will be monsters above the third order of transcendence."
"Transcendent third-order monsters are not terrible for us now, unless there are so many that we can't deal with them at all, what I'm worried about now is whether there will be more powerful monsters."
Meng Yang's brows furrowed, and his face fell into some kind of inexplicable anxiety. The monsters that players are facing now are basically the highest level of the transcendent third order, but Meng Yang remembered that the giant dragon that had flown around this desperate city had such a huge size and might, I am afraid that it is not reasonable to say that the transcendent third order, maybe it has reached the level of the transcendent fourth order.
He already had a certain understanding of the transcendent third order now, but when he reached the transcendent fourth order and was still a monster that could fly, Meng Yang really couldn't figure out how to deal with it for a while, and whether the weapon he had now could really cause damage to this giant monster.
"But...... Your safety? ”
Phoenix showed a rare look of worry on her face, she followed Meng Yang for these days, although she didn't fully understand everything Meng Yang had done, but she basically understood that all the people in the other world were almost revolving around Meng Yang.
Summoned by him, not to mention driven, but the whole set of operating mechanisms established is the only reason why the city of despair can recover so quickly and has the strength to resist the invasion of monsters in the demon tide.
"I can't get out of here."
Meng Yang's gaze inadvertently swept over the players around him who were fiery and bombarding the monsters, and shook his head slightly, "I am the city lord, and I need to stand at the forefront at this time." ”
Although Meng Yang can also do a lot of things by hiding in the corner through behind-the-scenes tasks and other operations, at such a critical moment, he needs to be at the forefront no matter what.
His current personal strength has reached the transcendent second order through the awakening of comprehension players and the process of various cultivations, but coupled with the increase in attributes brought to him by extraordinary players, his current individual strength should not be weaker than Sun Shuai, who has become the wrath of death, and if he really faces the powerful transcendent third order, he may not necessarily be an opponent, but there is definitely no problem if he wants to escape.
In the current situation of the City of Despair, with tens of thousands of players from another world, having enough supply of magic crystal energy, and having developed magic energy technology and various magic weapons, Meng Yang actually still has a certain degree of confidence in protecting the City of Despair.
No matter how bad it is, if the city of despair really can't hold it, he also thinks about shrinking the defense as much as possible, holding a few urban districts, and leaving it until the demon tide passes, and then start cleaning up step by step.
Of course, the best case scenario is of course to be able to hold on to the entire City of Despair, what Meng Yang is not sure in his heart is that even if he can survive this outbreak of the demon tide, if everything is read again, he may not have the sharpness he has now.
When Phoenix heard Meng Yang say this, she no longer dissuaded her, in fact, before she spoke, she also knew that Meng Yang would make such a choice.
This is one of the reasons why Meng Yang has been able to win the trust and sincere support of many indigenous people, all of whom hope to see a leader at the forefront of such a critical moment, leading everyone to fight and fight for the right to live.
Meng Yang, as the city lord, stood at the forefront at this time, even if he didn't do anything, as long as he stood there, whether it was for the player or the aborigines, it could bring an inexplicable confidence.
Roar –
Roaring and roaring voices rang out one after another.
In front of the city wall of the eighth city, a large number of monsters with scale armor began to appear at this moment, these monsters basically had six legs, a hideous appearance, and a large mouth full of fangs, and the body size was about fifty or sixty kilograms, which was almost the weight of an adult.
Under the bombardment of each shell of the magic crystal cannon on the city wall, this six-legged strange scale monster will have a large number of casualties, but these monsters still did not retreat and fear, as if they fell into an inexplicable madness, constantly attacking the desperate city wall.
Some of the monsters that had passed through the dense artillery fire began to climb up the vertical surface of the wall with six clawed legs, and occasionally a few jumped above the wall, and were soon stabbed and flown down by the spears and spears of the players guarding the surrounding area.
Meng Yang didn't really stand on the city wall as a mascot, but held a special enchanted long sword, and immediately cut down several monsters that climbed up from under the city wall.
The individual strength of these monsters is not very strong, but if the number of climbers on the city wall is too large, it will still have a considerable impact on the operation of the magic crystal cannon by the gunners in the future.
"Total War!"
After slashing several six-legged monsters in a row, Meng Yang officially released a mission called "Total War" to all players by summoning elves.
In this mission, as long as they are victorious, players will receive a piece of private land, depending on the player's final contribution to the battle, as well as magic crystals and other equipment weapons, as well as potions, cultivation exercises, and other rewards.
The reward is the highest in Meng Yang's history, and at the same time, a large discount has also been started for some materials in the mall, so that more players can improve their strength and participate in the battle as much as possible.
All the previous restrictions are now almost completely opened, and one obvious change in this promotion method is that almost all players have become motivated, and some players are even more happy when they hear about it.
As far as Meng Yang observed by summoning elves, after announcing the outbreak of the demon tide, the price of items in the mall began to decrease, and more than three thousand players purchased and exchanged for potions, of which almost one-sixth of them awakened at one time and entered the transcendent first order, and the other part only awakened after taking the second and third potions.
Meanwhile.
Liu Chuanfeng, who was stationed in the seventh district, commanded the magic crystal cannon above the city wall and launched a bombardment attack on some monsters like scorpions in the once desperate city that invaded on a large scale.
These giant scorpions have long been regarded by the player as the monsters of the novice village in the city of despair, and they have come and gone in waves every now and now, but outside the city walls, there are still a huge number of them.
In the sixth and fifth districts, there are giant scorpions and spiders, as well as some reptilian strange creatures, all of which are attacking the city of despair, and although these monsters have received magical energy, except for a few leaders or individuals, most of them have not yet stepped into the transcendent, and it is not difficult to deal with them.
The situation faced by the other urban districts at this time was basically similar, most of them were facing ordinary monsters, and occasionally there were small groups of transcendent first-order monsters or one or two faster transcendent third-order monsters circling around the city walls.
The monsters faced by the other urban areas are also some relatively low-level, numerous, swarming, at this time, the power of the heavy magic crystal cannon with great lethality is not significant, but the flowering bombs, grenade bombs, magic crystal bombs and magic crystal mines developed by Meng Yang Rang before, etc., have caused a large number of monster killings.
Whether it is in the third city led by the aborigines, or in other player-dominated urban areas, more and more ordinary monsters are gathering, with strange shapes, scales, humanoid snakes, lizardmen, pig-headed people, jackals, etc., many of which players have seen before, but more of them are types that players have never heard of.
It's just that now everyone understands a little.
And that's just the beginning.
Some of the low-level monsters in front are either close to the City of Despair, or there are a large number of fast-moving monsters, and the truly powerful monsters are still behind.
A full-scale war has begun!
