Chapter 232: The Battle at the Edge of the City Wall
"Damn, these aborigines are really hard to serve."
Watching Lan Yu and the other heavily armored soldiers gradually retreat, Wang Liao spat unhappily, and also followed behind Tang Man, and some players whose bodies had mutated evacuated along the city wall towards the second city.
"The location of the third city is quite special, it retains a relatively complete aboriginal force in the Eastern Continent, otherwise you think that we, the 'players', can easily occupy the dominance of the entire city when we arrive?"
Tang Man twisted his sturdy and terrifying fat body, his mouth moved slightly on his ugly face, and he let out a burst of angry speech.
"I just don't feel happy." The bone layer on Wang Liao's body seemed to make a crisp friction sound as he moved, and a cold light flickered faintly in a pile of vertical pupils like reptiles, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Or, find an opportunity to directly clear the aborigines of the third city." Of course it's not for us to do it, just a defensive mistake and some monsters or something......"
"Huh!" When Tang Man heard Wang Liao's words, he moved his body, and a trace of coldness seemed to rise on his ugly face, "Ah Liao, you have changed a little bit, can you do it like this?" If you think about it, those aborigines are not NPCs, and they are real otherworldly life. Even if it's a game, it's a piece of data, at this time, they are also 'living' people. ”
"Uh......" Wang Liao seemed to be a little uncomfortable being stared at by Tang Man, and said, "But it's not happy, when have we players been so aggrieved." ”
"This is the real world." Tang Man first glanced at Wang Liao, and then at the chaotic group of monsters under the ground.
He has reached middle age, and he has seen a little bit of heaven and earth and sentient beings, and understands that many things are never so simple. Everyone wants to cut through the mess quickly, and when they encounter something, they will slash and kill indiscriminately, and everything will be quiet, but how can it really be done.
Players are now dominant in the City of Despair, but there are still a number of natives in the City of Despair, and it is inevitable that these natives will be cowardly, brave, grateful to them, or hostile to them.
As outsiders from another world, these people are naturally a lifesaver in the most difficult and desperate times. But at any time, the darkness in human nature is never lacking.
Tang Man could more or less see that the City Lord's Mansion and many high-end players who had grown up tried their best to maintain a situation, that is, try not to let the player have a direct conflict with the aborigines, after all, the player is a rescuer who should be called, not a colonist who has invaded the other world.
Taking a step back, even if it doesn't matter how these natives approach the player, the player is now the largest group in the City of Despair, but resisting the monsters isn't that simple.
In terms of display, food, clothing, housing and transportation, players now need to do a lot of trivial work, but there is still a large part of it, which is still borne by the aborigines, the most bitter and tiring dare not say, but it is definitely troublesome and boring.
In this case, even if you treat this as a sandbox game, you won't even have NPCs, so you have to do everything yourself.
Moreover, Tang Man himself had experimented with the aborigines of this world in many ways, and in his eyes, these people were actually living people.
Although he didn't get a clear answer to whether this world was true or not, his self-observation and some occasional discussions made him aware of a lot of clues.
And if everything is really true, then the position of the player, as well as the position of these aborigines, is actually understandable.
"Let's go, let's go back to the second district."
Wang Liao looked at Tang Man's attitude and nodded imperceptibly.
In fact, he also said that if he first entered this world, he might not have cared about this kind of thing that lured monsters to attack the camp, but after such a long time, even the dullest people can actually feel some of it.
Even, he also heard that some players seem to have a little strange relationship because they have been taking care of some aborigines for a long time.
Of course, because of the protection mechanism, it is naturally impossible to really do anything, but the communication between people will always produce feelings over time, whether it is the feeling of licking the calf or the feeling of empathy, it is all the same.
Tang Man looked at Wang Liao and seemed to have recovered his strength, not as extreme as Fang Cai, pursed the corners of his mouth, and smiled lightly.
He has known Wang Liao since he entered this world, and for a few months, they have been moving bricks together, fighting monsters, and awakening to the extraordinary. Wang Liao's three views are not crooked, and the friendship between the two will not be affected, at his age, in fact, even if he chooses to make friends and fit the three views, sometimes it is more important than others.
Just as the players from the third district began to evacuate, at this moment, above the walls of the third city for several kilometers, there were still some players assisting the aborigines in operating the magic crystal cannon, constantly facing the upcoming battle.
The relationship between this part of the players and the aborigines is more harmonious, many of them are newcomers, and the summon point was originally selected in the third city, and the relationship with the aborigines is also closer. If you make a living, this can be regarded as the starting point for them to contact this world, and the relative affection is also deeper.
The aborigines are also much more familiar with many of these players, and they are much smaller in terms of conflicts than others, but looking at the evacuation of players in the third district, this part of the players is actually a little unhappy.
This natural stance dictates their attitude, but fortunately, the battle is in full swing at this time, and there are many green-skinned snakes and four-armed lizardmen pouring in from under the city walls, and many times the players have no time to worry about it, and they are busy fighting.
A little episode, they probably just glanced at it casually, and then they had to get busy with the battle in front of them.
Boom –
Boom –
In front of the walls of the third city, there was a sudden sound of shaking mountains.
The entire towering wall of despair seemed to shake a little at this moment.
The ground caved and the dirt rolled.
A large creeper's head emerges from the ground.
The incomparably long body was at least more than twenty meters in the past, it was a green-skinned snake man who had already entered the transcendent third order, and its power was amazing, not weaker than the momentum of the four-armed lizard man who had attacked the third city at the beginning.
I just don't know why this monster didn't attack from the ground, but instead drilled from underground.
"What's going on?"
Tang Man, who had just retreated along the city wall towards the second city district, suddenly paused and looked back at the front of the city wall stretching out of the third city district.
"Leave it alone!" Wang Liao turned around and glanced at it lightly, and said casually.
Although he didn't really put some monsters and clean up the aborigines of the Third City, there were still some pimples, and at this time, seeing the huge changes in front of the city wall of the Third City, instinctively made him a little resistant.
"Let's take a look first, we shouldn't need our help."
Tang Man did not categorically refuse Wang Liao's proposal, after all, he had just been blamed, whether it was him, Wang Liao, or these mutant players around him, everyone was a little unhappy.
In particular, some mutated players have become alienated after taking potions to mutate. Usually players communicate with each other, but it doesn't matter, on the contrary, there are many players who have awakened or have not awakened transcendent seeds, and they are very envious of the strength of mutant players.
However, this situation is not very popular among the aborigines, and from the beginning of Sun Shuai becoming the wrath of death, many aborigines will subconsciously regard them as monsters.
At this moment, a transcendent third-order green-skinned snake man appeared in front of the third city, and in Tang Man's opinion, there should not be a point where he needed their help.
With the magic crystal cannon equipped with the wall of despair and other firepower, it is impossible for three or five transcendent third-order monsters to break through, and the key point of the problem is that some aborigines are inferior to the player in terms of operating magic crystal cannons and magic crystal bombs, as well as other flexible use of various tactics.
In addition, most players can be resurrected, and the resurrected summoning circle is just below the city wall, and the endurance is strong enough, which the aborigines can't compare to.
Overall, if the aborigines have a competent command and the overall quality is passable, with the small number of players who are already there, the general crisis is still more than enough.
Moreover, the real battlefield is the most able to hone one's mentality, skills and will, and many players grow rapidly in such situations, not to mention the aborigines who face death every time they play.
However.
Just when Tang Man was optimistic about the defense of the third city, the rumbling sound of the ground continued to sound, and one after another cracked along the city wall, drilling out one giant green-skinned snake man after another, the number reached an astonishing eleven, the size ranged from more than ten meters to more than twenty meters, probably more than half of them were above the transcendent third order, and some of the others were slightly smaller, even if they did not have the transcendent third order, at least they had reached the level above the middle of the transcendent second order.
At this moment, these green-skinned snake people who came out of the ground hissed strange noises from their mouths, which caused the ordinary green-skinned snake people and four-armed lizardmen around them to respond one after another.
The artillery and bombs could no longer stop these monsters, and they launched a frenzied attack towards the gates of the Third District.
The yellow vertical pupils of the eleven-headed green-skinned snake people were even more blooming with cold light, and the location where they appeared was already only a few dozen meters away from the city wall, and it was very difficult for the magic crystal cannon to turn the muzzle attack at such a distance.
And the power of the magic machine gun is far from enough to cause fatal damage to them, and some of the magic crystal bombs thrown by the player are sensitively dodged by these long insect monsters, and occasionally even if they are hit, with the strong vitality of the green-skinned snake man, it is not fatal damage.
There are even two green-skinned snakes in their hands and mouths, and they are also biting the arthropods of some kind of insect-like monster, which is hideous and ferocious, and cannot be beaten.
"Could it be that these green-skinned snake people came here through the underground network of giant insect monsters?"
Tang Man looked at the part torn by one of the green-skinned snakes, and the whole person was suddenly startled, and Wang Liao next to him also let out a low exclamation.
Both of them were originally mining in the Demon Crystal Vein, so they naturally knew that there was a huge underground network beneath the Demon Crystal Vein.
At first, they thought that the network was just opened by bone monitor lizards to dig up magic crystal mines and keep cubs alive, but later they found some large insect monsters tearing through the soil in the forest of bones many times.
Based on the green-skinned snake people that suddenly appeared in front of him, it was easy to come to the conclusion that there was actually a huge underground network beneath the Forest of Bones.
The size of this underground network is unknown, but it is possible to allow such a huge monster to pass through without hindrance, and you can imagine what a huge world it is.
At the same time, Tang Man had some new doubts at this moment, since these monsters were able to travel underground, why not just burrow into the City of Despair. That avoids the bombardment of the magic crystal cannons, and it can also directly attack the inside of the city walls. With the current defensive direction of the entire city of despair, once a monster breaks out inside the city, the destruction of the entire battle line is almost fatal.
"Unless, the walls of the City of Despair are not just fifty or sixty meters as far as the eye can see, but all the way to the ground." Tang Man secretly speculated in his heart.
However, the situation in front of him seemed to be unable to wait for him to find the answer carefully, and in front of the wall of despair, the attack of the giant green-skinned snake man had already exploded.
The distance is too close, so that the most powerful weapon in the current Desperate City, the magic crystal cannon, has no way to exert its power, the city of despair alone is fifty or sixty meters high, and basically the closest distance covered by the magic crystal cannon is also hundreds of meters away.
In the past, in the face of these extraordinary third-order monsters, they were basically suppressed by long-range magic crystal cannon firepower, and under the bombardment of round after round, these monsters were gradually dismembered.
But at this moment, more than a dozen transcendent third-order and second-order giant green-skinned snake people had already arrived under the city, and with the huge size of these monsters, although the height of the city wall was difficult for them, it was not insurmountable.
Moreover, the giant green-skinned snake has a long snake shape, but it also has strong and terrifying arms on the upper body, and can use tools and weapons, which is also a huge pressure on the city gate.
Really.
When Tang Man realized the great trouble that these green-skinned snake people would cause, several of them, with the strength of their thick arms, had already climbed the city wall. The entire chest, abdomen, and tail are clinging to the wall, and it looks like a giant gecko.
"Suffer!"
Tang Man looked at the transcendent third-order giant green-skinned snake man, climbing the fifty or sixty-meter-high city wall in the posture of a gecko, and screamed loudly when he landed.
Although the Transcendent Third Order is now commonplace for players, the more this is the case, the more they know how powerful their destructive power is.
The city head of the third city is basically not particularly strong in terms of natives or players, and the only one who has reached the second order of transcendence is Lan Ling, but with her own strength, she can't compete with it at all.
As long as an extraordinary third-order monster attacks the city, I am afraid that it will not take a moment or three for all the magic crystal cannons and other defensive equipment to be cleaned up, and then the monsters' attack will be unhindered.
In the absence of defensive countermeasures, let alone a city wall tens of meters high, even if it is a city wall hundreds of meters high, what can it do, in the face of a steady stream of monster impacts, there will be a moment when there will be a gap or fall.
"Stop them!"
A coquettish voice suddenly sounded from fate.
The female warrior Lan Ling rode the Wind Beast like a whirlwind and jumped from the battlements of the city wall, and with the advantage of the transcendent second order plus the mount, she forcibly suppressed a green-skinned snake man from the city.
At the same time, beside Lan Ling, many players who came back to their senses grabbed magic machine guns and began to shoot wildly, trying to force these monsters back.
At such a distance, the magic crystal cannon could not play a role, and the magic crystal bomb was too close to throw the wall root of the city wall, so it could only be defended by relatively primitive cold weapon means and a part of the magic machine gun.
Whoosh –
Suddenly, a figure flashed quickly.
Tang Man was slightly stunned, and then noticed that Wang Liao, who had been complaining and unhappy by his side, had already reacted immediately, his body was leaping like flying, and he grabbed a giant enchanted broadsword with both hands, and slashed at the head of the green-skinned snake man who had climbed up to the city.
"Good boy!"
Tang Man was stunned at first when he saw Wang Liao's movements, and then laughed.
Wang Liao had a little evil thoughts, and he was a little frightened, worried that the young man was too extreme. But at this moment, in the face of a real crisis, he did not hesitate to stand up, such a feeling made Tang Man feel an inexplicable emotion churning in his heart at this moment.
This world is indeed different.
A lot of people are showing a very different side here.
Tang Man laughed and beckoned to the mutant players around him, quickly took out his weapon, and suddenly leaped forward, his incomparably strong body, but as agile as a bobcat, and pounced towards the giant green-skinned snake man who poked his head out of the nearest city wall.
