Chapter 487: He'an and Yanjing
Almost at the same time that the Rescuers Guild worked hard to kill William, the battle at the He'an base was also coming to an end.
In terms of the total number of bronze ranks in the base, the He'an base is two or three hundred more than the Rescuers' Guild. The number of gray iron grades is more than four or five times. It stands to reason that the Beast Tide in the He'an base should be more relaxed than the neighbor to the south.
But in fact, this is not the case at all.
The biggest problem is still that one - the people at the He'an base are not united.
Even before the Pangu Guild joined He'an, there were two large factions within the base, not to mention the small and medium-sized forces, among which there were also opposition factions who sympathized with Commander Hong and were dissatisfied with the existing Han lieutenant general. Restrain each other, and the tasks that have interests to be taken belong to me, and the high-risk tasks that send you to death are you.
It is conceivable that such a complex internal force, even if it is barely maintained due to the high pressure of the beast tide, it will inevitably be difficult to exert all its strength.
Not to mention anything else, the arming of the He'an base alone took them a whole day to quarrel.
Because everyone is worried that other forces will not give their all, or that the commander will be partial in assigning tasks, the end result is simply a faction to defend the base. It was supposed to be a unified dispatch of the base, but it became a battle for each of the four sides.
In addition, the growth of the average strength of the beast tide is also a serious threat.
In last year's beast tide, in the face of relatively low-level demonic beasts, the traditional concrete defense line could still have a good shielding effect. But in the face of these sixteen or seventeen-level demonic beasts, or even quasi-silver ranks, the ordinary defense line was too fragile. The professionals who defend the city have to face the embarrassment of the defense line being broken through frequently, and there is hardly much geographical advantage to speak of.
Only true guild defenses, reinforced with special materials and runes, and slowly self-healing, can withstand the increasing onslaught of beast tides.
If that's all there is to it.
There are no guild defenses, no ballista throwers, and at least enough professionals in the He'an base.
It's just that there are more casualties.
However, the strength of the beast tide's attack is not roughly the same in the four directions.
The beast tide from the east and north directions is far more numerous than the other directions, and the southern defense line is ...... There are only a few scattered small strands of demonic beasts, and there are only a few hundred of them in the sky, and it is as easy to keep as if it were a vacation.
This unfairness naturally once again sparked dissatisfaction and quarrels on the defenders from all sides.
Before they could compromise and come up with a result, lord-level demonic beasts quietly arrived......
The lord of the Demon Beast that attacked the He'an base came from the Wuhu Death Forbidden Land, which was still in gestation and had not yet fully formed, and was a frost clouded leopard with powerful ice spell abilities and an unimaginably flexible body.
The ranger arranged by the He'an base found it too late.
Before the frightened base side could complete the dispatch, it was rushed under the defense line by this frost clouded leopard lord, and killed dozens of bronze ranks in one move of the ice storm.
Then, the bloody slaughter began......
The eastern defense line once collapsed under the attack of the Frost Clouded Leopard Lord, and hundreds of demonic beasts took advantage of the chaos to break into the survivor settlement area in the base. Although the He'an base deployed manpower at any cost, it finally blocked the lord again, but in the end, the losses paid reached a figure that made everyone vomit blood.
Just the number of professionals who died directly under the claws of the Frost Clouded Leopard Lord was as high as three hundred and eighteen!
After all, there is no super master on the He'an base who can stand up at a critical moment like Fang Jin and forcibly drag the lord with his own strength.
"It's almost over, it's almost over......"
Receiving the news that the Frost Clouded Leopard Lord had been killed, and the preliminary personnel loss statistics that would be sent in a few hours, Lieutenant General Han stared at his bloodshot eyes and muttered with a pale face.
I just don't know, he's almost done referring to the beast tide, or is it ......
………
Thousands of miles away in Yanjing!
As the most powerful military and political force inherited from the entire era of Chinese civilization and the most powerful surviving survivor base, the killing of the Yanjing base also ushered in the end.
It is worth mentioning that the Yanjing base in this life is very different from the previous life.
Before the rebirth, the Yanjing base was located in the suburbs of Yanjing City, which happened to be located in a place with many spatial cracks and more active. This time, there is Fang Jin's survival guide, as well as the specially marked space stability points, including Yanjing, Zhonghai and other major bases, have changed their locations.
The space is stable enough, which means that there will be no cracks and a lot of monsters running out of the base casually.
This puts a lot less pressure on the base and allows for more external development.
Because of this, it is also the beast tide of the last two years, and the scale of the Yanjing base in this life has doubled compared to the previous life: there are more than 4,500 bronze-level professionals and nearly 50,000 gray iron professionals, and the strength is undoubted.
If it weren't for the lack of nearby Warcraft resources, coupled with the fact that there were still hundreds of thousands of survivors to protect, which limited the development speed of Yanjing to a certain extent, this number might have been a few percent higher.
However, this power, in turn, became a source of calamity.
In the northern great diocese, there are also priests of the Fallen Star Sect who feel the threat of the Yanjing base. The scale was twice as large as in the previous life, and the priests realized that it was no longer possible to stop the growth of this base by simply guiding the beast tide to attack. If they are allowed to develop, they will inevitably become the great enemies of the sect.
As a result, William's counterparts in the northern diocese, after reaching an agreement and sharing the responsibilities equally, prepared more ferocious and decisive means.
Taking advantage of the attack of the lord demonic beast, the three gold-rank priests joined forces to join the battlefield.
On the four-kilometer-long defensive line in front of him, the mage chanted a blizzard, summoning a terrifying blizzard that could instantly freeze people into ice sculptures; The warrior is like the invincible Vajra Buddha, who opened the two super skills of rampage and feast, rushed into the defense line and launched a whirlwind slash, mowing the grass unequaled; The archers at the back are even more terrifying, every time they pull the bowstring, a professional will be instantly killed by invisible magic arrows, and there is a powerful rain of chaotic arrows, which instantly knocks down more than ten people!
The combination of the three is like an incomparably sharp knife, with the ability to destroy withering and decaying.
The unguarded Yanjing base was wiped out by hundreds of professionals in an instant, and a large section of the defense line was cleared.
"It's ...... What is the situation? ”
Xiao Jiuzhou, the ace of the Yanjing base, who had just arrived here and was almost affected by the blizzard, looked at the roar of anger in the sky, the storm and the snowflake ice crystals, and the gold-rank warrior who was burning with terrifying blood not far away, and fell into a stupor.
This warrior who had fought against Fang Jin Jinghong in Jiangxia had a top level of 17. After this beast tide, it will almost be able to rise to 18 in one fell swoop, and it is not far from the silver level. It is true that as early as the era of civilization, he had excellent martial arts talent and the courage to challenge the strong, but these three ......
It's so perverted!
Breaking through a line of defense in a gesture, in the face of such a terrible monster, you have to take the initiative to challenge, that is not called bravery, it is called stupidity! It's called self-defeat!
For a few seconds, Xiao Jiuzhou, who thought he was about to successfully cross the beast tide, fell into unprecedented despair.
