Chapter 462: The Beginning of the Great War
A magical spire in a guild territory.
The guild hall set up here has become a temporary command hall for dealing with the beast tide. On the huge sand table in the center of the hall, the entire central and southern Anhui Province, the Baishan River-Chaohu River basin, and all the member strongholds under the jurisdiction of the alliance were all marked on it.
The high-level leaders in the guild are waiting in the command hall.
Outside the hall, in the middle of the guild territory, the white light of the scrolls of the return to the city came and went. The members of the intelligence department who went out to investigate were constantly sent back. Immediately, through the guild network, the latest discoveries were easily submitted. Let the high-level leaders of the Rescuer Guild get the first-hand information of the beast tide as quickly as possible.
"200 kilometers to the east, in the direction of Luozhou, where the original Pangu Guild was located, a new group of demonic beasts with a number of about 1,500 was discovered. There are an unknown number of elite monsters, but it can be determined that no lords exist. ”
With this latest news, a small blue flag was immediately inserted into the sand table in Luozhou.
Immediately, someone used a sticker marked with the word 1500 to paste it on this small flag.
Next to the sand table, in addition to the blue flag, there is also a particularly eye-catching dark purple flag. That represents the corresponding direction, and there is the discovery of lord-level demonic beasts.
Thankfully, at least as of this moment, there is no conclusive news of the lord's whereabouts.
"In the direction of the Dabie Mountains, another 500 demonic beasts have been confirmed!"
Soon, new information arrived.
After a series of intelligence updates, the situation on the sand table has become extremely serious. The red banner representing the territory of the Salvation Guild has been surrounded by a large number of demonic beasts from the east, west, and south. The more than twenty other guild forces scattered around are as precarious as fishing boats in the raging waves, and they may be annihilated at any time.
"The latest number of them has exceeded 20,000!"
Huang Cheng dropped the pencil with a solemn expression.
You must know that when the beast tide was basically formed last year, the number of confirmed was only more than 30,000. And this year, the Warcraft brought together from all parties has just begun, and it has already reached most of last year's total. The average level and strength of Warcraft have been greatly improved.
It can be said that the situation is very critical.
"President, the Great River League has just sent a special envoy to beg us to send troops to support."
Someone spoke again, breaking the tension.
Last year, when the strength of the Rescuers' Guild was not strong enough, Fang Jin still advocated the rescue. This year, the second beast tide is even more severe, and the Savior's Guild is the dominant one in the alliance, so it is naturally impossible to let it go.
But how to save it is also a problem.
Fang Jin looked around and hand-picked the name of the crown: "You bring the 4 bronze groups of 10, 11, 12, and 13, a total of 200 bronze steps." According to the rules we discussed before, we can let their families go first. But their main force must stay, and defend with you layer by layer, fight against the beast tide, and delay as long as possible. Receive a warning from the induction stone at the base, or the situation is difficult to hold, and then retreat in turn - remember to bring all the staff back to the city. ”
"Yes!"
The crown had been waiting for a similar order for a long time, and immediately patted his chest and took the order to set off.
Fang Jin glanced at the sand table and nodded again: "Wei Palace!" ”
"In!"
The eagerly awaited Wei Gong came out, and Mougins waited for Fang Jin's new order.
"Whether it is last year's experience or the situation that has been discovered this year, the hardest hit area is in Luozhou. Without the Pangu Guild this year, it is impossible for us to let the demonic beasts in the east go straight in. You need to lead the team out, destroy a batch of magical beasts outside as much as possible, and then return as appropriate. Remember, don't get too far away from the return to the city! ”
After thinking about it, Fang Jin ordered: "The pressure on your side is relatively high, I'll give you a few top-numbered groups." 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a total of five groups, 250 bronze ranks, handed over to you. ”
"The president can rest assured."
Wei Gong nodded, glanced at the number of demonic beasts marked on the sand table again, remembered it, turned around and strode out.
"In these two important places in the south, a large number of demonic beasts also went north last year, and they also need people to rush to snipe, and by the way, they will meet the nearby Sanmen Gang." As he spoke, Fang Jin looked at Lu An, who was gearing up, and satisfied his desire to fight.
………
One order after another was issued in an orderly manner, and while the demonic beasts in all directions had not yet killed within a hundred miles of the territory, the more than 1,400 bronze-rank professionals owned by the guild were almost all out under the leadership of various high-level leaders.
Only the thousands of Grey Iron Class members remained, as well as the three or four bronze groups after number 25, leaving behind the security of the Guild's territory, just in case.
But even they weren't idle.
These gray iron professionals, whose physical strength is far stronger than ordinary people, and even nearly 10,000 ordinary survivors who volunteered to sign up, took advantage of the fact that the second snow was not too big, and stepped up the deployment of the defense system around the guild territory.
Trenches up to 10 meters deep, ice walls made of excavated earth doused with snow water, a large number of explosion traps, slowdown traps......
In addition to these, the professionals of the engineering deputy position are the busiest people in the audience.
Compared to last year's beast tide, when the deputy engineer had just taken shape and only had time to build a few blade throwing vehicles and giant crossbows to defend the city, the sub-professionals who began to prepare early this year can be said to be much more powerful.
With the supply of guild resources at any cost, just the most well-prepared southern defense line has accumulated 110 slingers and 60 giant ballistae with adjustable elevation angles and can take into account anti-air attacks. These cold and cumbersome weapons of war are lined up on specially built, reinforced with special materials, and even if they are silent, they can give people a great shock.
In addition, the 50,000 special arrows piled up in the back row of the giant crossbow are also enchanted, and have excellent damage and armor-piercing properties.
If they are handled well, each of them will have the same lethality as two or three bronze mages!
"The last one, the overhaul is complete! All of them can be put into practice! ”
Liao Hualiang, the only one in the entire guild who has rushed the deputy of engineering to LV5, stood in front of these weapons with several deputies, full of confidence.
Looking out from the 15-meter-high tower he was standing on, a large number of Grey Iron Class members and survivors were still making their last efforts, like industrious ants. This scene of unity, supplemented by the sharp weapons he personally built behind him, Liao Hualiang believed that even the most terrifying beast tide would never be able to break through such a defense.
"Look, it's our two-legged wyvern!"
Beneath the lead-gray clouds to the west, an inconspicuous black dot flew in, and then quickly grew larger. The dull chirp alarmed the busy professionals below.
Seeing the intelligence officer who had ventured around and brought a large amount of front-line intelligence flying back, everyone couldn't help but cheer and wave at him.
"Just ...... Here we go! ”
Liao Hualiang knew that if it wasn't until the last moment, the bipedal wyvern would not return. Its appearance at this moment can only prove one point, this year's even more terrifying beast tide has reached the time of a complete outbreak.
