Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Trumpet
"It's coming!"
......
Almost at the same time, the same word came to the minds of countless people.
Unlike the city guards, who were forbidden by order, there was inevitably a slight agitation in the wilderness army.
Zhou Yin was in the crowd, and he was also a little stressed.
In order to relieve the pressure, he dragged the marshmallow and kneaded it!
"Do you want to go to the city walls?"
Lao Zhou leaned over and asked.
Zhou Yin spit out a question: "Can you go?"
Lao Zhou nodded: "This section of the city wall from here to there is guarded by our pioneers, but we are not needed for the time being before the sweep begins." At this time, we can actually move freely in our area. ”
But Zhou Yin looked around, but he didn't see anyone walking towards the city wall.
Lao Zhou sighed: "It's all old oil, the scene of the beast tide rushing is not new, and there is pressure to watch too much." That is, those who participate in the battle for the defense of the city for the first time will be relatively curious. Look over there, the fat cattle of the E-level wasteland development team seem to have newcomers joining. ”
Zhou Yin turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a team of fat men walking out of the team, and it seemed that they were indeed going to the city wall.
He thought about it and felt that there was pressure or something, how could it be important to eat melons?
I came here to participate in the city defense battle, but I didn't even see the scene of the beast tide rushing once, and I am afraid that I will lose my face if I say it in the future?
So he nodded and said, "Let's go!"
The rest of the Iron Courage Reclamation Team was understanding, and a group of eight people walked out of the assembly point and walked to the elevator not far ahead.
The elevator in the city wall is of course electrically driven, but there are other stairs on the side that can also be walked up.
As the Iron Courage Reclamation Team and the Fat Cattle Reclamation Team came out, some Reclamation Teams also came out one after another.
They came to the city wall and looked into the distance.
The wave of monsters had just appeared at the end of the horizon, and the black pressure was like an extremely long line.
Rushing from the Longmen Cave overnight, this group of monsters hardly stopped.
They seem to be tireless, sleepless, and energetic.
According to the official real-time update, the places they passed were like locusts, all life was eaten away, and the earth was ploughed open in a thick layer.
Based on the data collected by the pioneers in the Longmen Cave, the researchers made a comprehensive judgment and determined that these monsters could smell the breath of life, and the more vigorous the vitality, the more they could attract their attention.
And the city of Frontier City, which is inhabited by millions of people, is like a cluster of vitality, which is packed in a large bowl, and naturally attracts this group of monsters who have just woken up from their slumber.
In other words, they are simply following the instinct of foraging.
But the law of nature is the law of nature.
Zhou Yin propped up the edge of the city wall, and saw that the black line was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, and gradually he could see the ups and downs of the black tide, the crowds of people, and the faint shaking of the earth.
"It seems that there are really no flying monsters this time. ”
Lao Zhou was obviously relieved.
The monsters in the Longmen Cave sleep underground, mostly ground and rock, and there are also some other attributes, but no one has ever seen the flying system.
Now that this wave of monsters is coming, it is indeed visible that there are no monsters flying in the air.
This is undoubtedly excellent news!
The sky has no boundaries, and the appearance of flying monsters will put a lot of pressure on the defense line, and it will be difficult to clear it, often causing monsters to fly into the city, causing a second disaster.
Similarly, there are monsters with mysterious whereabouts, which are difficult to guard against.
Therefore, after every battle to defend the city, it takes a lot of effort to clean up the monsters that have invaded the city.
The fewer monsters like this, the better, of course.
Standing on the city wall and looking down, you can see that the city guards are already in place.
And on the city wall, there are also a large number of city guards lined up in a phalanx, which is extremely neat.
Zhou Yin saw in the documentary that the city guards on these city walls all belong to a category similar to "artillery", and each of them has cultivated a special military war pet assigned by the army - Lei Li!
[犼] is a kind of mythical beast in myths and legends, like dogs, like to eat borneol.
There is a folk legend that "one dragon can fight three dragons and two jiao", and it is erected on the Huabiao in order to supervise the emperor.
In fact, the sand of this world has been confirmed.
Its appearance is similar to the description of myths and legends, but it is different, about three meters high, like a dog, with antlers, lion's mane, front paws like an eagle, back paws like a tiger, and a tail like a fan.
And its attributes, which were originally thought to be dragon types, were later confirmed to be fairy attributes, and the talent [Dragon Vein Nature] enables it to manipulate dragon energy like dragon war pets!
The goblins have absolute restraint on the dragon system, so there is no war pet with both the elf and dragon attributes so far, and the dragon was once considered to be a dragon/goblin genus, but in fact this is not the case.
In its normal state, an adult [犼] is a divine beast of at least the ninth order or above.
And the military war pet of Pioneer City, Lei Qian, is only a branch subspecies of [Xuan]!
The base level of Lei Qi is the second order, and the limit level is the sixth order.
But from the fourth order onwards, the cultivation difficulty increased exponentially.
Therefore, military thunder is generally fourth-order.
Lei Qian is a dual genus of goblin and electricity, and has a dominant talent [Thunder Net]!
[Thunder Net] is a kind of group talent, and the Thunder Fox with the [Thunder Net] talent can release electric energy and build an electric network with his companions, so as to release group fusion skills that exceed the level limit through this electric network!
Skills such as these are generally found in groups of insects such as ants and bees.
Therefore, Lei Qian can be said to be a very cherished team-type battle pet.
With the [Thunder Net] talent, it can also effectively make up for the lack of Thunder Solid's single combat ability.
......
Each phalanx had twenty-five soldiers and twenty-five thunderbolts.
These twenty-five thunderbolts form a [Thunder Net] and release the three-star skill [Lightning Impact] at the same time, which can exert the power of the five-star skill [Thunder Cannon]!
Moreover, the [Thunderbolt Cannon] released by this group has a longer range and a wider coverage!
In every previous city defense battle, the Thunder Phalanx played a great role, destroying a large number of monsters and beasts!
But this time, many people are not optimistic.
The reason is that most of the monsters that emerge from the Longmen Cave are rock-based and ground-based, and the ground-based war pets have a strong immunity to the skills of the electric system!
It can be said that nearly half of the monsters are out of the range of the [Thunderbolt Cannon]!
"The military will definitely not think of problems that I can think of, and it should come up with effective methods in the future. ”
Zhou Yin blinked, then simply blended into the crowd and continued to observe the approaching beast tide.
......
Front-line command room.
After Lu Helan appeared on the horizon, she walked in.
There are hundreds of commanders in the command room, and each commander wears a VR sensor.
These commanders use "VR sensors" to connect directly to the virtual platform of the network, and can seamlessly communicate on the same platform through thinking, maximizing the efficiency of wartime command.
And the one who commands the entire commander system is the commander-in-chief of the army in the city of Pioneer - Professor Yu Zang!
Professor Yu Zangyu is one of the meritorious deeds involved in the construction of the development city, and now he is eight out of fifty, and his psionic level is as high as the seventh order, but his main battle pet is only the fifth order.
Although the level is not high, the main battle pet of the remnant is an extremely rare variety, and its name is [Thinking Beast]!
The Mind Beast is a pet that bears a striking resemblance to the Digimon Cosmic Brain Demon, with its brain tissue exposed, its eyes protruding, and its neck down like an octopus.
In order to protect the exposed brain tissue, it creates a superpower bubble that envelops the entire skull, giving it an "alien" feel.
The base level of the Thinking Beast is the first order, and the limit level is the fifth order.
In other words, the remaining thinking beasts have been cultivated to the limit!
The fifth-order thinking beast's combat power is not high, but its usefulness is very broad.
Among the three elements of the evaluation level, the health and physique of the thinking beast are very inferior, only the spirit value is extremely prominent, almost not inferior to the battle pet of the top spiritual specialty of the sixth order!
And the talent of the thinking beast is also extremely special, the explicit talent is [empathy], and it can share all perceptions with the war pet master in order to achieve complete sharing of information.
The remaining thinking beast even has an extremely rare hidden talent - [Thinking Fusion]!
The thinking beast with the talent of [Thinking Fusion] can not only empathize with the thinking of the war pet master, but also integrate with its thinking, so that the two can be integrated and achieve the legendary [Human Pet Unity] realm!
To put it simply, it is 1+1=2.
When the two minds are combined into one, the thinking ability of the two brains can be brought into play!
The reason why Yuzo was able to become the most knowledgeable person in the city was because of the ability of the Thinking Beast.
When Lu Helan came in, Yu Zang had already completed the [Thinking Fusion] with the Thinking Beast, he was sitting in the center of the command room, maintaining a posture of meditation with his eyes closed, while the Thinking Beast was sitting on his back, close to his back!
"Professor Yu, can you start?" asked Lu Helan.
Yu Zang didn't open his eyes, or even open his mouth, a voice suddenly came into Lu Helan's head: "The hour has not yet come." ”
Two-Star Skill: Reading!
In the state of [Mind Fusion] with the Thinking Beast, Yuzo can freely use all of the Thinking Beast's skills.
And his thinking is running faster than ordinary people can imagine.
As soon as Lu Helan wanted to continue to ask, a voice came into her head again: "Don't worry, with the current strength of Kai Kai City, it will not be difficult to survive this beast tide." ”
Lu Helan was really relieved at this time, and then withdrew from the command room.
Wait for the door to the command room to close again.
The thinking beast behind Yu Zang raised its tentacles and drew a circle, a trace of ripples rippled, forming a superpower ring in the air.
Then, transparent, invisible bubbles emerged from the ring, piercing through the walls and into the sky, drifting towards the waves of monsters that appeared on the horizon.
As time passes, more and more [Perception Bubbles] are generated from the ring, and the rate of formation is gradually increasing.
Later, hundreds of bubbles were created in almost every wave, and then spread to every corner of the battlefield ahead!
These [Perception Bubbles] were originally only one-star skills, and they were of the same level as [Water Splash], and they had neither penetrating ability nor invisibility ability, and could only feedback some tactile sensations after touching matter.
Normally, the Perception Bubble is used to explore the surrounding environment in an invisible environment, or to hunt out enemies.
However, with the continuous research and development of the remaining thinking beasts, the nature of this skill has completely changed.
Today's [perceptual bubble] not only has a sense of touch, but also a series of perceptual abilities such as sight, smell, and hearing.
By scattering bubbles, he was able to collect all-round information on the entire battlefield without leaving home, and the coverage of bubbles even included underground!
In the true sense, there are no dead ends in all directions!
In this case, Yuzang is like opening the [God's Perspective], and then through the two-in-one thinking ability to analyze the battlefield, he can deploy the people he needs to the location he needs when he needs them, and complete the tasks that need to be completed!
This is the biggest secret of Pioneer City's ability to reduce the casualty rate to the limit in every battle to defend the city!
In addition, Yu Zang is also the director, screenwriter and cameraman of the documentary on the defense of the city!
Filming is his hobby.
With the brain after the [Mind Fusion], he can record all the information collected by the [Perception Bubble] in his brain, and transmit this information to the virtual network through special means, and finally edit it into a film!
......
"Although this time the defense battle is more tricky than before, the victorious one will still be Pioneer City!"
Lu Helan, who returned to her post, made a final speech in front of the camera, and her confident eyes conveyed the message of victory to the hearts of every pioneer.
Soon after, the horn of war sounded!
As the beast tide arrived within 100 meters of the moat, a large number of pre-set traps erupted one after another, instantly stopping the forward momentum of the monsters!
At the same time, the monster that rushed to the front slashed off a layer of skin!
Immediately after, the water system war pet that had been ambushed in the moat suddenly poked its head out.
One after another, the long-built water skills were released in unison, and the monsters that came from the impact were further attacked!
The water system has restraint over both the surface and the rock system.
A large number of ground and rock monsters were defeated by water skills, and these huge ground and rock monsters became obstacles that hindered the advance of the beast tide.
But compared to the huge number of monsters, these water skills are still not enough.
Their biggest role is not to kill enemies, but to pave the way for the next [Thunderbolt] attack.
Later, there were even water-based war pets under the command of the war pet master, releasing water-based skills that were non-lethal and only covered a wide enough area, almost soaking most of the monsters!
Everything is going according to plan.
When the monsters that had slowed down finally approached the outside of the moat, they also entered the attack range of the Thunder Phalanx!
The commander shouted!
The long-awaited Thunderbolt unleashed [Lightning Shock] at the same moment!
Through the [Thunder Impact] after the [Thunder Net] is fused, the [Thunder Cannon] is formed, and the wave of monsters is overwhelming!
