Chapter 67: The Beasts Are Coming
On the morning of July 21, as usual, the sky in the north was covered with drizzle, but the atmosphere on the border of the Frostwolf Country was somewhat abnormal.
In the jungle in the distance, a white shadow rushed out and ran towards the Frostwolf City Wall. Then, three more shadows appeared, following them.
The soldiers at the outpost immediately noticed the unusual movement here and began to ring the bell in warning. At the same time, on the outpost on the other side, a thick horn sounded.
When the horn sounds, the families who set up the morning market immediately close their stalls, get out of the way of the streets, and close the doors and windows when they return home. On the other hand, some inns suddenly opened their doors at this time, and many people came out of every place where they could get out.
They didn't look at what the others were doing, but they reached the huge building by the city wall at great speed, quickly finding their respective positions and waiting for them.
At this time, the shadows in the distance had become a lot and clearer, and some spirit beasts could already be seen clearly on the outpost. On the side of the city wall, the movement of people is still going on in an orderly manner, and giant crossbows and heavy artillery have begun to be used on the city wall.
In a short time, the giant crossbow and heavy artillery were erected, all the personnel were settled, and the herd was not far from the city wall.
At this moment, everyone understands that the battle has begun.
All the spirit masters on the fifteen-story ladder began to draw spirit runes, and one by one the spirit runes quickly took shape in front of them. Among them, the second and third layers are the fastest to complete.
When they were done, they pointed the spirit rune downward, and the group of people below suddenly shone with various lights. After the light ended, these people below all felt some changes in their bodies.
At this time, the runes of the upper twelve layers had just been completed.
At this moment, the front herd suddenly sank into the ground, and the trench fortifications took the lead. At the same time, the spirit master of the twelfth layer launched an attack on the spirit beast that was trapped in the trench.
Then, a few arrows flew from the city wall, followed by more sounds and more arrows. Although it is not as spectacular as "Ten Thousand Arrows" and "Arrow Rain in the Sky", it is also a large scale of arrow rain.
After all kinds of spiritual power attacked, it was followed by a rain of arrows. When the two come into contact with the herd, they turn into colorful explosions. At this time, the spirit beast at the front of the herd encountered a variety of spiritual power explosions.
Such an attack did not stop the spirit beast's attack, and they continued to move forward over the trench.
However, they were greeted by ice pits of various sizes, and the spirit beasts at the front once again temporarily lost their shape. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the spirit master and the soldiers launched a second wave of attacks.
At this time, the group at the bottom began to disperse and arm, and the auxiliary spirit masters also changed positions with the change of armament.
The six were assigned to a less important garrison point. Although their own strength is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators of the same rank, their cultivation is low, so they can only be assigned here.
Although the ice pit played a certain role, it still did not stop the progress of the beasts. When the spirit beasts behind saw these ice pits, they quickly adjusted their direction and avoided the ice pits.
When the beasts walked forward for a while, they triggered the third line of defense, Fuyun Thunder. A large part of the new Beast Herd Striker Force triggered the Fuyun Thunder, and only a small number of small, fast spirit beasts survived.
After the Fuyun Thunder was issued, as expected, a large amount of thunder attribute spiritual power was released, which not only paralyzed the spirit beasts above, but also caused some spirit beasts that encountered these spirit beasts to suffer later.
At this time, a huge spirit arrow sank into the herd, causing a huge explosion in the place where it fell, and some small spirit beasts nearby were almost overturned.
Then, a rain of arrows appeared. Although the number is small, the power has to be guarded against by the spirit beasts. The spirit beasts have used their own defense skills, those who can dodge, those who can resist, and those who can block.
In short, under the operation of the spirit beasts, the effect of the cloud-piercing crossbow was not as good as imagined.
At this moment, there were several slight cannon shots, and several cannonballs fell into the herd, followed by a loud bang. The sound was so uncomfortable that even the monks at the city walls felt a little uncomfortable.
After the cannonball exploded, the herd of beasts that had been still somewhat orderly suddenly became chaotic, and the offensive rhythm of some spirit beasts with extremely low resistance to this sound was instantly chaotic. In this chaos, the rhythm of the entire herd began to be chaotic.
Immediately after that, a few more shells, and several parts of the herd were thrown into disarray.
However, under the five-fold firepower of soldiers, spirit masters, cloud-piercing crossbows, cloud collapse cannons, and cloud thunder, there were still some smaller spirit beasts that quickly broke through the defense line, entered the defensive blind spot near the city wall, and came to the front of the monks.
Now, it's time for the monks of the first layer to play their role.
The monks rushed forward one after another, and began to fight with the spirit beasts that were close to the city wall. At this moment, many spirit beasts appeared on this side of the city wall, which were the spiritual pets of these monks.
The six people released here are Huang, Xiaocai, Chiyan, and Xiaozi. The blue scales are as always, and the cold ice is on the one hand of high rarity, and on the other hand, it is not very good at cooperating with the nature of combat, which has been tested when dealing with the Long Sword Sect. If you release it now, if you accidentally hurt your teammates, you will be treated as a spirit animal in the herd.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield was like this: the spirit master, the cloud-piercing crossbow, and the cloud-breaking cannon continued to bombard the spirit beasts in the distance, the soldiers' arrows were frantically covering in all directions, and the monks on the third floor of the Dengyun Tower were fighting against the wave of spirit beasts closest to the city wall.
At this time, if you look at it from a high altitude, you will see a rain of arrows, rune attacks, and a chaotic herd of beasts. Explosions occurred from time to time in the herd, and the speed of progress slowed down a bit, but overall it was still moving forward.
At this moment, several strange weapons appeared on the city walls. It is similar in shape to a small crossbow, but its launch slot is much wider, and the design of the launcher is much simpler than that of a crossbow.
Some soldiers put a round white ball on it, activated the mechanism, and the round ball was pushed out. At the moment when the ball reached the notch, the two gem-like inlays on the left and right lit up, one red and one blue, and the white ball suddenly had a faint blue and red color.
When a few white balls flew a certain distance, they exploded, and some powder flew out of the balls and scattered all over the battlefield. The herd was now even more chaotic than before, as if it had received a stimulus.
Those powders weren't anything strange, they were ordinary repellent powders used to dispel spirit beasts. Although it is only a general version, it is enough to deal with the herd.
After the spirit beasts were messed up, they were also injured many times by various weapons, and the spirit beasts at the front were also repelled at this time, so they had to retreat into the army.
However, even though the battlefield is already filled with sounds and smells that the herd doesn't like, the herd just becomes a mess. They didn't leave after touching these, as they usually do, but moved on.
The battle against the beast tide continues.
