Chapter 228: Development VII
On the tower of the city gate, although the two veterans standing guard were standing in the cold wind, they were all smiling and looking energetic.
Both of them are in the late stage of body refining, and they have been in this Philadelphia for nearly seven or eight years. In the case of such a serious attrition every year, the two of them have survived until now, and they have been through life and death several times, which can be regarded as fate.
"Lao Wang, tomorrow the city protection array will be activated, so you don't have to worry about it in the future!" said a veteran with a spear and a strong bow to his companion with a smile.
"Yes, it's finally here. When the moat is activated, it's time for me to return home. Originally, I wanted to go back to retire for a long time. To be honest, although it is dangerous here in Philadelphia, there is still a lot of military pay. I've also accumulated some money over the years, and if I hadn't worried about these young people, I would have gone back a long time ago. ”
A fifty-year-old man armed with a steel knife replied, his eyes still burning under the city walls, even though he was saying this.
Although every attack in the past was dominated by flying beasts, it will have the cooperation of ground beasts, so it can't be taken lightly.
"Hua Fei, let's come to Philadelphia together, you have a small amount of savings over the years, do you want to continue to defend here?" asked Lao Wang. He still admires the companion next to him, who is more than ten years younger than himself. He came to Philadelphia at a young age and stayed like himself for several years.
The man in his thirties raised his hand and scratched his head while paying attention to the movement of the night sky in the distance, and said, "You forgot my sex flower, we are all subject to orders, and we are not allowed to return for less than ten years." ”
As the man named Hua Fei spoke, he occasionally glanced at the position of the soldiers guarding the city on the other side of him. Finding that there was no figure, his eyes moved down and saw that the other party was already lying on the ground.
"Desolate beasts attack the city!"
As Hua Fei's rough voice sounded, the night sky was in an uproar, and a piece of black pressure flew towards the city wall.
"It's a blood bat, activate the alarm, it's a blood bat!"
As the sirens sounded, the battle began.
The Blood Bat is the size of a goshawk, with a pair of membranous wings that make a dizzying sound, and its fangs and claws are its weapons.
Although the attack power is not particularly strong, the main thing is that their cries can greatly interfere with ordinary monks. Originally, the strongbows of the defenders could easily shoot through them, but the shrill screams made people's minds dizzy. Most of the arrows that were finally shot still lost their accuracy. Only occasionally a few were shot and fell from the night sky.
"Everyone quickly plug their ears with something to reduce the interference of these beast calls. Some experienced veterans hurriedly shouted to the people around them.
"Oh no, there are black-faced spiders, these things climb the city wall the fastest!"
Hundreds of blood bats were already a headache, and a large group of spider beasts were found below. Black-faced spiders the size of a dustpan, with eight legs as hard as iron bars, rushed towards the city wall.
One of the generals unleashed a slash of air that slashed a blood bat down. Turning his head to look at the city, under the cold moonlight, there were dense black-faced spiders all over the ground, and it was impossible to calculate the number.
"That's ,,, so much! It's over, how can this be dealt with!" Soon the soldiers fighting on the city wall noticed the terrifying scene below. A young recruit said with a desperate look in his eyes.
"Be careful!"
Just as the recruit was stunned, a blood bat opened its mouth and swooped down on him with its fangs bared. The general next to him slashed out and tried to save the other party, but he was still a step too slow.
The Blood Bat bites the recruit's neck and flickers its wings to send it into the air. The recruit screamed miserably, kicked his legs wildly, and soon stopped moving.
As the Blood Bat's claws loosened, the young recruit fell to the ground, still staring at a pair of terrified eyes. Judging from his face, the other party is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is still a hairy boy. The first time you experience such a scene, you will inevitably panic, how can people really not be afraid of death. It's just that he paid with his life for it.
Not only young recruits, but many more people died. With the interference of the blood bats, the black-faced spider successfully climbed the city wall. On the dark face, there are ugly mouthparts, and eight sharp limbs with black hair, like eight spears, swinging to their heart's content, taking away fresh lives one by one.
Such a large-scale siege of desolate beasts is rare, and even some veterans have to hold their blades tightly to keep their hands from trembling. Not to mention the recruits who experienced such a tragic situation for the first time.
One of the recruits, probably in desperation, was courageous, raised his weapon and slashed at a black-faced spider with his back to him.
The blade slammed into wood with a clattering sound, and then slashed deep into the black-faced spider's round belly. The abdomen of the female spider is used to lay eggs, and after being cut, the fishy liquid and many unformed eggs are all over the place.
Hiss!
The mother let out a scream, raised her four sharp limbs, and stabbed at the recruit.
Boom!
At the critical moment, a figure slammed into the recruit's figure. The figure was pierced by four sharp spears.
"Lao Wang!" Hua Fei roared angrily, his eyes reddened, and he held a spear in one hand. The spear pierced through the back of the mother's head and exited through its ugly mouthparts.
With a flick of the spear, the female spider was directly picked up. Hua Fei and the rescued recruit stepped forward and squatted beside Lao Wang together.
Lao Wang tried to raise his head, wanting to say something one last time, but when he opened his mouth, more blood gushed out.
In the end, before closing his eyes, he could only hand over the steel knife in his hand to the recruit.
Tears burst out of his eyes in an instant, and the recruits stood up, holding Lao Wang's steel knife in their hands, and turned their heads and rushed towards the chaotic battlefield. He knew Wang, and when he first came to Philadelphia, it was this enthusiastic veteran who was leading him. He never thought that the two were not related, and the other party would spare his life to save himself.
Holding the still warm hilt in his hand, he was not afraid of life and death at this moment. At this moment, he transformed from a recruit to a veteran. Maybe the experience is not enough, but he already has the heart of a warrior.
In the face of a ferocious enemy, whether the opponent is a beast or a human, there is no fear or mercy in his heart. The only thought is to slay the enemy in front of you. With hatred that fills the chest, it is like cutting down trees, like harvesting grass, and slashes all enemies in sight.
The moment the alarm sounded, Qin Jie's figure shot out from the room. When the figure unfolds, it leaves a slight arc of electricity in the night sky. A long light swept through it, heading towards the battlefield.
Behind him, Hua Yinyu also came out.
With his body in the air, Qin Jue sealed his hands. Then the figure paused in mid-air, bent down and pressed his palm downward.
A spirit array covering a huge area took shape and suddenly fell downward.
A powerful force field suddenly appeared, and those blood bats flying in the night sky seemed to lose their ability to fly at the same time, and fell to the ground like dumplings.
Then Qin Jue ignored those bats, his body folded sideways, and he flew hundreds of meters in the air again, landing on the city gate tower. With a press of the palm in the air, the spirit array was formed, and a dazzling beam of light shot towards the foot of the city wall, and then swept horizontally towards the black-faced spider swarm that was about to climb up.
The beam of light illuminated all directions, cutting horizontally against the city wall, and a deep ravine was cut into the ground, killing countless black-faced spiders
Ease the situation on the battlefield for a while, and see more desolate beasts rushing in the distance. Qin Jie's eyes swept around, and he saw that all the spirit pattern masters of the Tian Yuan Sect had already arrived.
"All members of the Spirit Array Department listen to the order!" Qin Jue shouted.
"Here!" replied the Spirit Pattern Masters below.
"Take your place and open the Spirit Array!"
"Yes!"
One by one, figures flew towards all corners of the city, preparing to open the city protection array.
