Chapter 397: Fierce Battle
The moonlight at twelve o'clock in the evening, as cold as ever, made everyone in Stone Town almost burst into tears, many of them actually didn't know the specific things after dark, but were simply happy to see the moonlight, it turned out to be completely dark, only the light of the flames, it was really suffocating.
"Kill the monsters and defend your homeland."
A military general roared loudly and cut off the head of the monster sheep that came up, and the people around him also shouted, and the morale was suddenly shocked, and everyone fought desperately as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, firmly blocking the monster outside Stone City.
"Twelve o'clock, that is, half of the three tribulations, in this case, there shouldn't be a beast king-level monster, right?"
As the commander-in-chief, Liu Ru, who was sitting in the center, was relieved when he saw the moonlight appear, the evolution of the monster ended here, according to the information Fan Ping'an gave her, there should be no beast king, although she was still a little worried about the next situation, but Fan Ping'an said that as long as the beast king did not appear, everything was not a problem, she believed it, after all, the city lord had brought her too many surprises.
However, although the situation seems to be very good now, Liu Ru is still a little worried in his heart, the martial gods of the Martial God Alliance can't be stupid, since they intervened, there is no reason to make such a simple game, right?
It is true that an extra six hours of evolution time, according to normal circumstances, can definitely destroy a city, after all, even if there is no extra time, it is not so easy to resist the second tribulation, and if it takes half a day, the strength of the monster will at least triple, and it should be able to destroy the city.
The problem is, this is Stone City, the Stone City where the six major families of the descendants left by the Martial God are located, its own strength is much higher than other cities, and at the same time, the current city lord is called the Descendant of the Underworld, and the Descendant of the Immortal God who has failed twice in the Martial God Alliance, will the Martial God Alliance really have only such a simple means?
"Let the city lord think about these things, what I want to do is to block the next attack."
Liu Ru shook his head, the monster has evolved, which means that the general attack is about to begin, and the previous attack of more than an hour is just a scattering of guerrillas, and the real test has just begun.
Next, in front of the morale of the people, the monsters that had been continuous were quickly killed, everyone was overjoyed, and many places cheered, but the leadership of Stone Town frowned, there is no reason to be such a monster?
"Hurry, those who are resting hurry up and rest, those who are treated are quickly treated, the martial disciples in the back come up and throw the corpse of the monster down, don't affect the battle for a while."
The commanders of the four gates shouted orders to restore order to all the soldiers, knowing full well that the test had just begun and could not be ended so quickly.
These people were not mistaken, and soon, the puppet bird left by Fan Ping'an to Liu Ru came back from four directions, and then brought back very bad news.
When the head of the Liu family heard what Liu Ru said, he asked incredulously, "...... Liu Commander-in-chief, what do you say, those monsters are gradually gathering in the distance? ”
"Yes, they didn't come in groups like they did for more than an hour, but they were all gathering, in all directions, and the monsters were gathering more and more, it seems that they wanted to wait until enough monsters gathered, and then go together."
Liu Ru said: "In other words, what will happen next will be a big battle, and it will also be the last battle of the day." ”
Someone couldn't help but scold: "These monsters have wisdom is trouble, and they know how to use strategies." ”
The head of the Zhang family asked: "Is it trouble, commander-in-chief, what are the specific four directions?" ”
"See for yourself."
Liu Ru took out a disc, then put a crystal on it, the crystal lit up, and then a light curtain appeared in the sky, and there were mutants all over the sky, at least tens of thousands.
This is the picture taken by the puppet bird through the encapsule, which is equivalent to a camera before the end of the world, but because of the coming of the apocalypse, all these electrical appliances have been destroyed and cannot be used, but similar things in the martial arts world are no problem.
In fact, engram crystals are relatively rare even in the martial arts world, but the eyes of the puppet birds among the puppets that Fan Ping'an subdued are made of engram crystals, and this kind of puppet bird is specially made by the ancient puppeteer for investigation, but it is cheaper than Fan Ping'an.
Now use the puppet bird to reconnoiter the situation, otherwise it is too dangerous to send scouts over, the puppet bird is not life, and it is much safer in the air.
The people present have all seen the world, although they don't know the existence of memory crystals, but they are very calm, one of them said: "There are a lot of mutants, but through this memory crystal, I can't see the specific strength." ”
Another person smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that the lowest ones are all second-order, after this half-day evolution, it is difficult to find first-order monsters now." ”
"According to the information brought back by the puppet bird, the south and west are dominated by mutants, mixed with some monsters, while the east and north are all monsters, and there are almost no mutants."
Liu Ru said about the information recorded by the engram in the puppet bird's eyes: "The puppet bird has a soul, so it can distinguish things a little, and according to what they perceive, there are several very powerful breaths in the four directions. ”
After a pause, Liu Ru said: "Whether it is a mutant or a monster, they only obey the strong, and they have absorbed so much special energy, and the negative aura is off the charts, but now they can obey the command to gather there, there is definitely more than one fifth-order monster in the four directions, and there will be an extremely strong person inside, if you guess correctly, it should be at least a fifth-order high-level monster or mutant, and even the peak is possible." ”
"Fifth-Order Advanced, or even Fifth-Order Peak?"
Everyone gasped, even if there is a divine soldier who can cross a large order, but with the improvement of the level, it is impossible to completely cross a large order, and it is not one now, there must be several in each direction, if there is another ancient bloodline or something, everyone can take a break.
The head of the Li family frowned and said: "Even if we have divine weapons, we can only deal with one or two at most in each direction, if they come in waves like before, then it's okay to say, it's not easy to gather them all like this now, not to mention that there are extremely strong people inside." ”
"Don't worry so much, our formation is not vegetarian, not to mention other changes in the formation, relying on the defensive ability of the formation, divide and annihilate, haven't we never done it?"
Liu Ru said: "Besides, don't everyone have some hole cards? ”
Everyone laughed when this sentence was said, in addition to the divine soldiers, the guardian spirit beasts, each has a hole card, which is a hole card like the water dragon ball of the Simon family, which is a killer weapon to use at a critical time, however, until the critical time, everyone will definitely not easily use this hole card, and the hole card that is not known is a good hole card.
"If the formation is to deal with monsters below the third order, it can indeed last for a long time, but now that the fifth-order monsters appear, if there is an ancient bloodline, it may not be able to last long, so it is necessary to kill these monsters as soon as possible."
Liu Ru obviously knew everyone's psychology and said: "When it comes to life and death, everyone should not think too much, and besides, the city lord will always watch everyone." ”
Everyone's faces were different, but at this moment, Wang Yuan, the head of the Wang family, suddenly said: "Commander-in-chief, such a strong monster, only the city lord can deal with it, I don't know where the city lord is now?" ”
This sentence contains evil intentions, obviously saying that it is very irresponsible for the city lord to play missing at this critical time, and there is also a blame for Liu Ru to only let them pay, but the city lord doesn't have to do anything.
Liu Ru glanced at Wang Yuan and said very directly: "The city lord will naturally appear at a critical time, there is no need for the lord of the Wang family to worry about it, the lord of the Wang family just needs to do his duty, this is our duty as a courtier." ”
Wang Yuan's face was a little ugly, how could he say that he used to be the city lord, but now he was scolded by such a junior in person, seeing this, the head of the Liu family hurriedly played a round and said, "Commander-in-chief, what should we do next?" ”
"There's not much we can do, pass on the news, and then wait for the decisive battle, don't worry too much, we still have the city lord, when we need it most, he will definitely appear, he is our last line of defense, and also our Dinghai Divine Needle, speaking of which, the city lord has also modified the formation, and it will give us many surprises at that time,"
Liu Ru stood up and said: "In addition, we are also going to the battlefield to participate in the battle, I still say the same, now is the decisive battle, if the stone city is broken, what will happen to us, everyone should understand." ”
"Okay."
Everyone stood up and agreed, Stone City is their foundation, they naturally know what to do, these big families are intrigued, but the overall situation is still there, they have no doubts about Fan Ping'an's appearance at a critical time, this person single-handedly entered Stone City to take this city, it is impossible to give up casually, and for Fan Ping'an's strength, they are even more convinced, can they defeat the guy who guards the spirit beast, can it not be strong?
However, these people are suspicious of Fan Ping'an's modification of the formation, after all, Fan Ping'an is a descendant of the god of the underworld, and his strength is extremely powerful, these are not false, but he can't also be proficient in the formation, right?
These people didn't know that the formation mages in Stone City who were above the top were still sneering with disdain when Fan Ping'an wanted to guide them to modify the formation before, but after Fan Ping'an pointed out the loopholes in the formations they arranged one by one, and showed their superb formation skills, this group of formation mages immediately knelt down and shouted one by one Master, including those from the Liu family, they simply wanted to treat him as a god.
Now the army in Stone City is not all loyal to Fan Ping'an, but the formation mages in Stone City are basically loyal to Fan Ping'an, and the wisdom Fan Ping'an not only improved the original formation, but also laid out an extra layer of formation, which will be explained in detail later.
Leaving the command center, Liu Ru came to the location of the south city gate, and stood with Ximen without tears, at this moment the information about the monster gathering has been passed down, everyone is quite nervous and worried, but seeing Liu Ru come to sit in person, morale suddenly improved, and began to make final preparations in an orderly manner.
In fact, the hearts of the people at the South City Gate are quite stable, after all, the fifth-order giant eagle controlled by the Heavenly Maiden Umbrella has always been there, and relying on this giant eagle before, the loss of the South City Gate is much less than that of other city gates.
It didn't take long for the final battle to come, and in the moonlight, the soldiers of the four city walls could see the dust in the distance, thousands of troops and horses charging, countless monsters roaring, and even the ground could be felt shaking, which was the terrible movement caused by a large number of huge monsters.
When it got closer, everyone saw a dense crowd of mutants and monsters, spreading all the way to the sky, as if endless, and the people on the four city walls felt that their breathing was about to stagnate, so many monsters?
After experiencing various disasters after the end of the world, Stone Town, which originally had a population of nearly 10 million, now has a population of only about 1 million, and the number of soldiers, that is, the number of military soldiers and above is less than 100,000, which is still thanks to this battlefield copy, and now the defenders of each city wall plus the reserves are only about two, and now the number of monsters rushing over each city wall is above them.
Especially in the south and west, the number of mutants is around 100,000, while in the east and north, the number of monsters is slightly less, but as we all know, in the first few ranks, the strength of monsters is more than that of humans, and now even the number is exceeded, this battle will definitely be a tough battle.
"We're going to die, we're going to die, right?"
Some of the undetermined miscellaneous soldiers are full of despair, if it weren't for the presence of the Warlord team behind, I'm afraid that some people would want to escape, but most of the soldiers are still very determined, after all, they have recovered Stone City, no matter how big the battle has been, and this is a backwater battle!
"The generals are ready to use the city defense equipment, and the commanders of the various city walls are beginning to command!"
At this moment, Liu Ru's calm, penetrating voice reached the ears of all the soldiers on the four city walls through the formation, and everyone suddenly woke up from the horror of the monster, and the generals who were qualified to control the city defense equipment were all well-trained elites of the six major families, and they all began to adjust the city defense equipment calmly and skillfully.
As a commander, Liu Ru did not make any impassioned speeches, but only issued the simplest and most direct orders, and such orders made the army calm down as quickly as possible and make all kinds of preparations, which is the charm of Liu Ru.
Soon, the surrounding monsters had already entered the attack range of the city defense equipment, but Liu Ru did not give the order to attack, because she saw that these monsters in the front were only second-order, so there was no need to worry, and the commanders of the other three sides also did not order the attack, so they would not put any more thought into these cannon fodder.
The leader of the monster obviously has a lot of wisdom, so that the weakest cannon fodder rushes to the front, and behind the cannon fodder are third-order mutants and monsters, and there are many fourth-order monsters in the middle, Liu Ru's heart is slightly heavy, now the lowest-level monsters are all second-order, and the number of third-order and fourth-order is also quite large, especially the fourth-order, the number is more than the original I don't know how many times.
"Although there are battlefield copies, the number of fourth-order in our stone city is only more than twenty, fortunately, the adults gave me the command of the puppets, and the more than three hundred puppets are scattered into four city walls, which should be almost enough, otherwise it will be really difficult."
Liu Ru sighed secretly, and calmly waited until the third-order monster entered the firing range, and Liu Rucai shouted to the defenders of the south gate: "Release!" ”
"Put!"
The generals of the south gate shouted in unison, the so-called city defense equipment, in fact, is a strengthened version of the trebuchet, the materials used are different, the distance is very far, and the above is not an ordinary stone, but a kind of flame stone specially mined from the secret realm, ignited like a ball of fireball, when the general pulls the heavy mechanism, each wall has hundreds of fireballs thrown towards the monster.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Explosions sounded one after another thousands of meters in front of the southern city wall, and a large number of third-order mutants and monsters were blown up with flesh and blood, raging and raging, and the monsters suffered heavy losses.
And after the southern city wall opened the attack, the other three city walls were also launched one after another, Zhang Yao, Huang Long, and Li Yuan were far inferior to Fan Ping'an, but they were also the pride of the sky, and they were absolutely qualified as commanders.
"Load the catapult as fast as possible, and all the soldiers prepare their bows and arrows."
Liu Ru once again calmly ordered, different from the ancient world, because the warriors are relatively strong, plus the need to go out hunting, so most of the warriors will be equipped with bows and arrows, at this time the dense warriors on the city wall pulled out their longbows, waiting for the order, after the previous battle, although still nervous, but even the miscellaneous soldiers, there was no longer a matter of releasing arrows in advance.
"Bow and arrow, in order, ten arrows per person, shoot freely, and annihilate monsters as much as possible!"
Liu Ru shouted, and the dense arrows fell one after another with a sharp whistling sound, shooting a large number of monsters, but the monsters were not frightened, and still rushed over frantically.
Although the monsters have wisdom, but after all, they have no experience in war, and at the moment they use the most primitive tactics - the sea of people charges, relying on the large number of people, even if they are constantly bombed and shot, but they are still approaching as quickly as the tide, and in the end, the mutants in the south and west each died thousands of people and came to the city wall, and the monsters in the east and north are more durable, plus the speed is faster, and the death is relatively small, and they also came to the city wall.
It's a scalp-numbing sight, and when you look at it, you're full of monsters, densely packed, and these monsters are red-eyed, trying to swallow you, like a ghost, and those with poor psychological quality will be scared to death.
At the beginning, these monsters were frantically ramming the city wall, as if they wanted to collapse the city wall, but of course the city wall with the fusion of formations could not be knocked down so easily, but it was quite stable, and the defenders above took this opportunity to kill them.
But soon, the monsters reacted under the orders of the leader behind them, and either jumped up directly, or used spells, or went up to the human wall, although there was a hundred-meter-high city wall, but in front of these powerful monsters, it was not difficult to climb up.
"Kill, kill these damn monsters!"
So, the white-knuckle battle began, the monster and the defender who climbed up fought fiercely on the city wall, one defender slashed to death a mutant who jumped up, but was immediately hit by another mutant in the air and hit the wall, spitting blood and dying tragically, the other defender rushed up angrily, and the mutant monster made a big shot, and the other monsters and defenders next to him also frantically added.
Such scenes abound, shouts and screams are endless, and a large amount of blood appears on the ground before the blood stains have dried, there is human blood, and the cold blood of monsters, one side wants to drive the monster off the city wall or kill it for the safety of itself and his family, and one side wants to kill all humans for food, and both sides are destined to fight to the death!
As a commander, Liu Ru didn't pay attention to the specific battle, and was not affected by the smell of blood and the shouts of killing everywhere, but let the captains of the city take charge of the corresponding things, and she was collecting information on the fifth-order monsters.
At this moment, not all monsters are attacking, there is a group of monsters left behind in each direction to stare at the city wall, and there are also at the south gate, that group of monsters is about a hundred people, according to observation, there are as many as eight fifth-order mutants inside, and the rest are at least fourth-order, obviously the leader of this group of monsters.
"West City Gate, seven fifth-order mutants."
"North City Gate, five fifth-order monsters."
"East City Gate, two fifth-order monsters."
The commanders of the other city gates sent news from each other, the situation was quite bad, except for the east direction that Fan Ping'an was in charge of because a large number of monsters were killed, resulting in only two fifth-order monsters, the number of other fifth-order monsters in the city gate was quite a lot, in fact, there were already a few newly promoted fifth-order monsters that had been killed before, otherwise the number would be even more.
These fifth-order monsters all absorb special energy and grow up, in fact, the overall number is not too much, and in the next period of time, the monsters will devour each other, or attack human gatherings, devour a large amount of essence, and even get new adventures after plane fusion, and then more fifth-order monsters will appear.
A divine weapon can basically only deal with a fifth-order monster, if there is no formation, this is almost a mortal situation, but even if there is a formation, it is a hard battle, and if you are not careful, the city will be destroyed and people will be destroyed - with the strength of the monster, the formation can no longer be as solid as before.
"If it weren't for doubling the mutation time, the number of these monsters would have at least doubled, damn the Martial God Alliance."
Liu Ru secretly hated in her heart, at this moment, these fifth-order monsters did not make a move, Liu Ru did not know which level of the fifth order they had reached, however, she believed in Fan Ping'an very much, since there was no beast king, the city lord would definitely have a way to solve all this.
Because of the existence of formations and city walls, although there are many monsters, there are not too many who can participate in the battle, which is the advantage of defending the city, so even if the number of humans is small, it can still be defended.
The leaders of those monsters also wanted to consume the physical strength and true qi of the human race first, so they did not make a move immediately, and waited quietly, so they fought for more than an hour, and the corpses under the city wall were all over the field, but the monsters were endless, but the physical strength and true qi of the defenders began to hold on, and the casualties began to grow, Liu Ru did not immediately use the formation when he saw this, but let Ximen send out the fifth-order giant eagle that was controlled by the Heavenly Maiden Umbrella without tears.
The fifth-order giant eagle is strong, just a loud roar, using sound wave attacks, hundreds of mutants immediately burst into brains and died, and then the giant eagle rushed up, its wings were like two giant knives, and with a slash, dozens of mutants were directly cut off by the waist, and their deaths were extremely miserable, this is the strength of the fifth-order monster, and it is completely crushing.
