Chapter 22: The Crooked Tech Tree (2)

The crossbow arrows that match the ballista are not easy to make and the cost is very high.

The arrow shaft part must be made of trees with excellent energy conductivity, and only the core of the tree can be used, so that each tree can be made at best ten or twenty roots, not including those that are scrapped in the processing process.

As for the arrowheads, they are carved using gemstones, and the lowest is a "split" grade.

Although the Alliance has been stockpiling this material for many years, if the ballista has been firing at the highest frequency, it will not actually last for a few days......

As a result, after giving Andariel a dismount and giving everyone in Rog's camp confidence again, the frequency of ballista firing has dropped significantly. To compensate for this reduced firepower, more Rog and the Profession took to the city walls, sweating and magic.

At this time, low-level cannon fodder monsters such as the Sinker Demon and the Skeleton were almost consumed.

"Volley again, aimed at the boss monsters of Lakanihu!" When the last mob was killed, Kasha's command rang in the ears of Rog, who was operating the ballista.

With a sharp roar of breaking wind, the multicolored crossbow arrows shot out, and then converged into more than a dozen pillars of light again, and Tarzan smashed towards Lacanixiu and several other monsters who were already the commander of the light pole at this moment.

The light splashed like a fountain in all directions, and when it dissipated, the scarred earth was left empty.

"Great, completely crushed!" Many of the Rogers and professionals on the city wall smiled happily. At the beginning, it was the "vanguard" legion led by these monsters that gave everyone great psychological pressure. I still feel that feeling when I think about it now.

Kashya raised his eyebrows, carefully perceived it a few times, and wondered in his heart: "Really killed?" Why does it feel that something is wrong...... Absorbing a part of the strength of tens of thousands of ordinary monsters, are they really so weak? ”

However, seeing the performance of the people on the city wall, Kasha could only suppress these doubts in his heart.

In the Blood Wasteland, the first people who approached the city walls were melee cannon fodder monsters, such as zombies, skeleton warriors, and sunken demons, and when they were crushed by the huge war machine of Camp Rogg, the high-level monsters began to approach, putting great pressure on the defenders. In particular, the number of monsters attacking from a distance has begun to increase.

[PS: Actually, there are only a few "templates" of monsters in the first act, such as zombies and starving dead people actually look the same...... Another example is Fallen Rog, which is divided into those with swords and shields (Dark Hunter, Evil Hunter, Dark Sneak Attacker, Black Rog, Flesh Hunter), Bow and Arrow, and Spear, all of which have several "varieties", just like the Sinking Demon (Sinking Demon, Blade Demon, Little Devil, Dark Demon, Teleportation Demon). Therefore, although the Blood Wasteland is densely packed with more than ten or two hundred thousand monster legions, they actually look almost ......]

For example, Skeleton Mage, Sinking Mage, Fallen Rog Archer, Spearman, and many more.

Luckily, these monsters have a very limited attack range, and only the first dozen or so rows can pose a threat to the humans on the city walls. However, despite this, in order to dodge the attack from the castle, the attack pouring down from the city wall was instantly weakened by nearly half!

At this time, Zhang Shen and others saw familiar things again.

Shields!

An extremely common and very important class of troops in ancient warfare.

After being infected with the characteristics of the Present World (strong physical fitness), it has successfully upgraded to a rare and powerful hoplite!

This is also one of the hole cards that the Alliance has secretly trained, a super melee class that can compete with giant beasts!

The heavy infantry were all the elites in Luoge, all of them were tall and strong, and they were all brute force enough to crush Lu Bu Mengshu during the Three Kingdoms period......

When this blood-red heavy-armored army walked up to the city wall with heavy steps and held up the large shield in his hand, almost all the bows and arrows from below the city wall could be ignored...... Even, Ouyang Tianqi also found that even the various spells from the monster fell on it, as if they had hit the tofu on the iron plate, and dissipated in an instant.

Obviously, their blood-red heavy armor and large shields are not ordinary goods, and they even surpass most of the primary equipment.

Zhang Shen looked at the row of red tin cans on the city wall, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and groan: "I feel like my three views are beginning to collapse." ”

"Although I can understand the strength and importance of this army, I still can't help but feel the urge to hit the wall." Yi Chao's expression was weird. "What did those seniors do to this world......

"The technology tree of this world is crooked." Li Jing made a concise and powerful summary.

"I have a bad feeling." Zhang Shen was expressionless, "This is just the beginning, sooner or later, my three views will be broken by this world." ”

Bu Lichen gave him a roll of the eyes: "You have already had a wrong view!" ”

"This is really a great wrong, I am a good young man with Xia national characteristics who has kept the three represents, eight honors and eight shames in mind!" Zhang Shen exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.

…………

After a few people laughed for a while, Blue Phoenix said: "According to the current situation, there will be nothing for us in the short term, let's go first." After saying that, the five members of the Sky Blue team said goodbye and left.

After the five members of the Sky Blue team left, Zhang Shen and the four of them continued to stay for half an hour, and they also chose to return.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so I just went back to catch up on sleep."

"It's noon, you're still catching up on sleep, what the hell did you do yesterday, making yourself so miserable?"

"Draw and refine into a formation. I've found a time-saving way to draw the basics first, and then add the technique directly to it when I want to use it. Because I accidentally didn't pay attention to the time, as a result," Zhang Shen shrugged and yawned, "You see." ”

Bu Lichenxiu frowned slightly, revealing a worried expression: "Then haven't you eaten three or four meals in a row, aren't you hungry?" Now that you've lost your [Food-Making Technique], you'd better go get something to eat first. ”

"Isn't there compressed food, just eat whatever you want." Zhang Shen waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.

Li Jing grabbed his hand: "No! It's not good for your health to mess around like this. ”

"That's right, let's be honest, let's go to lunch together." Bu Lichen grabbed his other arm, "Ouyang, don't be afraid, let's go together." ”

Ouyang Tianqi, who was about to slip away, was stunned for a moment, and was about to refuse, but found that Zhang Shen had been escorted forward by the two women for several meters.

With a silent smile, Ouyang Tianqi quickly followed.

A meal, talking and laughing, ate for more than an hour. Even Ouyang Tianqi, who usually speaks less and doesn't speak, also broke the "ring".

However, when the four of them checked out and left, they happened to run into Yan Cut, who was entering the door.

When the latter saw Ouyang Tianqi, a layer of frost suddenly formed on his face, and his eyes were full of undisguised killing intent.

With a cold snort, Yan Di stepped in and staggered past the four of them.

"This guy is a big problem for us." On the way, the expressions of Zhang Shen and the three of them were a little unsightly. According to Ouyang Tianqi's description, Yan Xi's strength far exceeds that of the four, and he can only compete with him unless he joins forces and has a certain tacit understanding.

"Trouble? No, it used to be, and it wasn't anymore. The corners of Ouyang Tianqi's mouth moved, and a treacherous smile appeared in his eyes.

"Hey, do me a favor and don't show that scary look, okay?" Li Jing was taken aback by his sudden change.

"Anyway, you just wait and see the show." Ouyang Tianqi's right thumb and index finger touched each other, as if he was pinching something.

……… Divide......... Cut......... Line.........

"I finally know why I can't buy a more advanced rune?" Wren's eyes scanned back and forth between the ballista and the infantry heavy armor, his face tangled. "The feelings were cut off by themselves, and they all used to make this kind of thing."

"But—" Wren suddenly frowned, excited.

"The runestone is calcined and smelted by a special method to direct the amount of force in it...... Then, this kind of power and the sharp weapons of the ancient war of the Xia Kingdom were fused to create a powerful weapon that conformed to the characteristics of the power system of the world in this world...... The guy who came up with the idea was a genius and it gave me a lot of inspiration! ”

"Drawing on this kind of thinking, as long as I am given a certain amount of time and resources, even if the growth of [Runes] is a little lower, I can still create a powerful armament!"

"When the time comes, I can join [Steelism]!" Wren's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to return to Guardian Space and then back to his workshop to add the whims that had sprung up in his head to his beloved "armament".

Frannie looked helpless: "Calm down, calm down!" ”

Boom! In the end, she really couldn't quiet the guy who was in an inexplicable frenzy next to her, and smashed it with an old fist.

Finally, the pain in his head brought Wren back to the real world.

"I said if you can change this problem, it's really terrible."

"Uh-huh." Wren is in a special state of "hot blood", and even the perfunctory is extraordinarily perfunctory, which makes Frannie roll her eyes in anger, and her silver teeth crunch.

After a long time, calming the depression in her heart, Frannie spoke: "Looking at the current situation of the battle, we can't intervene at all, so let's leave first." ”

"Well, alright." Wren's "normal" thinking had not been lost, and so was his thinking, so he turned and left.

Xu Ping was five or six meters away from the two of them, Frannie and Wren were talking, and he couldn't interject and didn't dare to step forward.

He had wanted to leave for a long time.

Ever since he came here, he felt as if there had been a cold gaze staring at him in the sky, and at the same time, there was a dull pain in his back, which made him uncomfortable and at the same time, it was like being on the dividing line between ice and fire, and he didn't dare to move at all.

Now, he can finally leave here, Xu Ping couldn't help but let out a long breath and quickly followed, even ignoring the "safe distance" between himself and Frannie.

Above, when Xu Ping disappeared into his sensing range, a wisp of doubt flashed in Kashya's eyes.

For this guy who killed Latisse, Kashya naturally wanted to smash him to death, but now that Akara had made a decision, Kashya could only forcibly endure it for the time being, at most beating him out of anger at the moment before he left.

However, just now, she seemed to feel a hint of hell from Xu Ping.

The wisp of breath was extremely meager and disappeared in a flash, no longer appearing, making her dare not make up her mind easily.

Originally, if it was someone else, Kasha would not hesitate to take it first at this sensitive period. However, when the target became Xu Ping, whom he hated to the core, Kasha hesitated a little.

"At that level, it shouldn't be able to turn over any waves......
