Chapter 66: Defending the City
In the afternoon, the six of them came to the Frostwolf Barracks to register for the task of fighting the beast tide, including Yueli. Yueli didn't give up the task, after her brain calmed down, she felt that she was stupid, how could she still put money and not earn it?
The purpose of registering at the barracks is to keep a record, and it is more convincing whether this person is a participant after leaving the bottom. At the same time, it is also for the convenience of management, and it is convenient to have such a list, and it is also convenient to transfer it when the time comes.
The last role is to leave a case record, and whoever wants to contribute to the fight against the beast tide, do not listen to the command, and make trouble will be recorded. With such a record, the Frost Wolf Nation would no longer welcome him, and this person's reputation in the cultivation realm would also be damaged.
After registration, it's time to get to know the tour leader. Although cultivators are free, they are not allowed to be too free now, so cultivators have a leader, and this leader is an elder of the Frostwolf Sect.
This elder was dressed in a white robe, and on his chest was a hideous wolf head, exactly the same as the national emblem of the Frost Wolf Country. His temper is very bold, similar to those people in the rivers and lakes, and he treats the six people like friends, and he doesn't have that domineering feeling.
From the news I heard, I learned that this elder's name was Murong Xiao, and he was a friend of the Frost Wolf Ancestor King, or the kind that had a particularly good relationship. As for how a monk and a mortal became good friends, there is no real record, it is all rumors.
Now, Murong Xiao is not only the elder of the Frost Wolf Sect, but also the national teacher of the Frost Wolf Realm. However, the six of them really couldn't think of what it was like for such a person to get those divine sticks, or maybe the national teacher of the Frost Wolf Country did something different?
After meeting the leader, it was time to visit the equipment guarding the city. When fighting against the beast tide, these instruments are the main force, and in order to cooperate with its attack, it is natural to understand how far these instruments can go. In this way, everyone can know exactly where the offensive blind spots are and where the key defensive areas are during combat.
Of course, this is a benefit for "newcomers", and those who have participated in it before will naturally not need it, but some new equipment will also be introduced to those who have participated.
As for the issue of military secrets...... First of all, human life is at stake, and military secrets are not as important as human life. And then this is not a military secret, these machines are specially researched to deal with the beast tide, and are not used in mundane combat.
After learning about the equipment of defending the city, the six people got a lot of information.
There are two main types of defense equipment, defensive and offensive.
The defensive type is mainly to strengthen the city wall, create barriers, protect civilians and cultivators, and provide offensive space for cultivators. The offensive type is used to fight back, and it is also the main force in this war.
Among the defensive machines, there are mainly two types of machines.
One is known as "iron scale armor" and is a type of protective armor used outside the city walls. The usage is to install it on the city wall, and after the installation is completed, it is like wearing a layer of armor on the city wall.
In terms of design, the structure of the iron scale armor resembles a piece of scale, imitating some scaly spirit beasts. Through various studies, it has been found that such a structure can well alleviate the impact force, reduce the damage, and have a good protective effect on the city wall.
At the moment, the Iron Scale Armor is being installed at a rapid pace. The installation method uses the characteristic method of the northern realm - the freezing method, which directly freezes the iron scale armor on the city wall. With the blessing of the weather, this is much stronger than other methods.
The second is something called "Ascending Cloud Tower", which is actually not a very tall thing, that is, a thing composed of stairs and a platform, which is as high as the city wall. It is mainly used as a combat platform for spirit masters, avoiding the low output efficiency caused by insufficient vision.
The second is to use it for personnel transfer, when the city gate will be blocked, and personnel can only pass through this device. It will be installed after the Iron Scale is installed.
These defensive instruments are specially selected and built, although they are not refining materials, but the hardness is still okay, and they can resist the attack of a certain degree of spirit beasts.
Then there are the offensive machines, mainly of three.
The first is called the "Cloud Piercing Crossbow", which is similar in style to a regular giant crossbow, but works very differently because it is an automatic weapon powered by spiritual power.
Its working principle is actually very simple, that is, it gathers spiritual power, and when it reaches a certain level, it is released to form something similar to spiritual power arrows. It is less powerful, but because it is automatic, it has a fast rate of fire and is used as a conventional weapon.
The second type is called "Fuyun Thunder", which is a trap-type offensive tool, which looks like a large discus and is infused with a large amount of thunder spiritual power.
The method of use is to bury it in the soil, and when the impact from above reaches a certain level, it radiates thunder spiritual power, causing damage and paralysis. After the thunder spiritual power is released, it will explode with a "bang", and it will die with the things above.
On the one hand, this thing is used for surprise attacks and to combat the momentum of the beast tide. On the other hand, it is used for the arming of the main defense points to reduce the pressure of personnel arming.
The third type is a killer level, called the "Cloud Collapse Cannon", which is an artillery type of equipment. Both the barrel and the shells are custom-made, and the firing method is also automatic, as long as you find the right direction before firing.
The main body of the shell is the same as that of a normal shell, but after a special design, it only occupies the type of a normal shell, and the contents are all changed.
Its explosion principle is that different spiritual powers explode after colliding, and the power itself is very powerful. After the explosion of the shell, the shell will scatter with a large number of fragments, which further enhances the lethality.
In addition to the lethality of the shell itself, when the shell explodes, it will also emit a loud and piercing sound, which is also specially designed. This kind of sound will not have much impact on humans, but it will have a great impact on spirit beasts, and it can be regarded as one of the most powerful means to expel spirit beasts.
Of course, in addition to these large instruments, there are also many small ones, mainly spiritual arrows equipped for the soldiers defending the city. The power is small, but it adds up to a lot of damage.
There are also other fortifications, such as the most common trenches, potholes, etc. However, compared to the fact that they played a large role in ordinary warfare, this time it was only used to delay time, in order to give the defenders more time to react.
After understanding the general situation of the arming, the six people also roughly came to the conclusion of which places are weak in defense and which are the key points of arming, which can be regarded as having a relatively clear understanding of them.
However, what they don't understand is that Hu Lie and Bai Jin said that things are not big, and these preparations are not as simple as Bai Jin and they said. In addition, in terms of attitude, it seems that there is no sense of crisis except for those who are unable to participate, and everyone else takes it very seriously.
Such an attitude gives people the feeling that this battle is not simple, but that it is difficult and cannot be easily ended. However, it seems that it is difficult, but no one seems to be worried that they will lose this battle.
The six of them asked the others, and the answers they received were all similar:
"You'll understand when you're done. ”
