Chapter 32: Positional Warfare
"And, are you sure you're not talking about your slave?"
Wei Ziqi stared at the bundle of Shinozhi speechlessly.
"Alas, so the dean can't do this?" Shinonoshu directly ignored his last sentence and exclaimed, with a look of surprise.
Then, with a disappointed face, she said, "It's a pity, I still want to see how far the alchemy in this world has developed." ”
"In the future, there will be opportunities for you to study slowly. Wei Ziqi took out a letter of appointment and dragged the bundle of Xiaozhi over, "Now, sign this contract for me first." ”
"Letter of appointment?"
Shinonoshu took the letter of appointment and his eyes widened, as if he wanted to see what was written on it.
"Let me be an alchemy teacher...... Huh, can't you even be dismissed if you sign it?"
But despite the fuss in his mouth, Shinohinoshu obediently signed his name on the letter of appointment.
"Good. Wei Ziqi nodded with satisfaction, "Welcome to become a member of the Supreme Academy." Now, let me introduce you to the members of the Academy. ”
"Hey, then please Dean. ”
Holding his gold token, Shinonoshu stood aside rather obediently and bowed.
Wei Ziqi glanced at her and said, "This is Professor Charles, the psychological counselor of the college. ”
Professor Charles smiled and nodded gently at Shinoshu, "Hello, you should be from Japan, right? I've been there, it's a beautiful place." ”
"Hello Professor, I'm Shinonoshu, please give me a lot of advice. ”
Shinonoshu bowed to Professor Charles.
Wei Ziqi looked at Patchouli again and said, "This is Patchouli? Norregi, a magician. ”
"Hello. ”
Pache nodded slightly at Shino's Bundle.
"Huh, is it actually a magician?" Shinonoshu's eyes lit up, and he looked very curious, "I'm Shinoshu, please advise." ”
"In addition, there are a few companions, but they are not here right now, so I'll introduce you later. ”
Wei Ziqi said.
"Okay Dean. ”
Shinonoshu looks well-behaved and docile.
"By the way, there's a war going on outside right now, so it's best not to get out of this place if it's not necessary. If you need anything, you can ask the waiter at the inn. ”
Wei Ziqi admonished.
He glanced at the room, and now that there were too many people, the room was a little insufficient.
So he said, "I'll open you two more rooms later, and you can divide them among yourself." ”
"Okay. ”
Shinonoshu smiled and said he understood.
Wei Ziqi glanced at the direction of the city wall: "Time should be running out, I don't know when the beast tide will attack." Patsy, let's go to the wall first. ”
"Understood. ”
Pache closed her book and nodded slightly.
Wei Ziqi said: "Patsy and I shouldn't be back at night. Professor, I'll leave this matter to you. Xiao Shu, remember what I said, and don't run around. Wait until Shirley Lu and the others come back and get along. ”
"Dean, are you leaving?" said Shinonoshu with a smile, "Okay, I see. Don't worry, I'll get along with the rest of my companions. ”
Professor Charles also nodded and said, "I will take care of these children." ”
Wei Ziqi nodded at the two of them and said, "I'll go see Estes." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the bedroom inside.
When his figure disappeared into the living room, Shinozhishu restrained his smile and looked up at the window, his eyes flashing with a strange light: "The war in another world, you must have a good look." I didn't expect to have the opportunity to come to another world, such a magical world. It's just that...... Is my world just an imaginary thing......?
in the bedroom.
Wei Ziqi stood on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Estes who was sleeping quietly.
Now that beautiful face had regained a hint of ruddyness, and the sound of his breathing had stabilized, it was not long before he could see the proud queen again.
"Wake up, Estes. I'm really not used to your days. ”
Wei Ziqi muttered, and reluctantly glanced at Estes deeply, then turned around and left the room.
After gently closing the bedroom door, Wei Ziqi's gaze swept over the people in the room, and then nodded to Patchouli: "Let's go." ”
The two of them left the inn and soared into the air in the wide square, heading towards the city wall.
Just as they were about to arrive, the rush of sirens sounded again.
"The beast tide is here again!"
Wei Ziqi's face changed slightly: "Patsy!"
Pache nodded, and spat out a short incantation, and the speed of the two of them instantly increased.
"Don't go down yet. ”
Coming to the sky above the city wall, Wei Ziqi said to Patchouli.
"Let's see how it goes. ”
Looking at it in the air, I saw a huge tide of beasts surging towards the silver-white city wall of Youfeng Town like a pitch-black tide, and the huge momentum made people feel depressed.
However, there was no Beastmaster among them, and the earth-shaking dragons did not move. It seems that the beast side has made up its mind to slowly consume.
"Let's go to Zhao Licheng's side. ”
Since it was just an ordinary attack, they didn't have to rush to their own defensive area. Wei Ziqi decided to go first to see what Zhao Licheng had planned.
When they came to the place where Zhao Licheng and the others were, the two of them also frowned and looked at the beast tide in front of them.
At this time, the beast tide had begun to diverge, and it seemed that it was preparing to surround Youfeng Town.
"Commander Zhao, Lord of An. ”
Wei Ziqi said hello, didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "The fierce beast side seems to be preparing to slowly deplete, do you have any countermeasures?"
Zhao Licheng shook his head: "I can only stick to it as much as possible." ”
An Shu said, "We have already started to set up the teleportation array, and the guards in Qingyan City and a large number of cultivators have already begun to assemble, and when the teleportation array is set up, they will be able to come to support. At this point, we can only fight a positional battle in this place. ”
"Teleportation array?" Wei Ziqi asked, "How long will it take?"
A smile appeared on An Shucheng's face: "At most, tomorrow morning, the erection and commissioning will be completed." ”
Wei Ziqi also relaxed slightly: "That's great." However, this is still a palliative rather than a cure, and relying on the strength of Qingyan City alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold this place in the end. ”
When he said this, everyone fell silent.
"It's just a matter of taking one step at a time. Zhao Licheng looked at Wei Ziqi and suddenly said, "Presumably Miss Mingyue has already told you, when the city is broken, Dean Wei, you will find a chance to leave." ”
Wei Ziqi was stunned, he didn't expect him to say that.
Zhao Licheng laughed at himself: "Originally, this was not your responsibility. Therefore, although I know that the people of the three major sects are also planning to escape at the last moment, I will not pursue them. As long as they can hold out to the end, then the matter of dying on the battlefield will be left to the soldiers, and they will be able to escape and save a part of the strength of the Terrans. ”
Wei Ziqi was in awe: "You are a real warrior, a real iron-blooded soldier. ”
Zhao Licheng smiled, and then said solemnly: "Dean Wei, if you have a chance to leave, I would like to ask you for an incident." ”
"Commander Zhao, please speak. ”
Wei Ziqi nodded.
Zhao Licheng's expression was slightly complicated, and he said, "When the time comes, I hope you can take Yang Yun away." ”
"General Leng Yangyun?"
Wei Ziqi was stunned.
Zhao Licheng nodded, his tone heavy: "He is the most talented young general I have ever seen, and there should be a bigger stage for him to play." If he dies in this place, it will be a great loss for our human race. Therefore, I hope that Dean Wei can take him away. ”
"Of course that's fine. Wei Ziqi agreed, "But I'm afraid General Leng won't agree, right?"
"Please rest assured, Dean Wei, I will solve this point. ”
Zhao Licheng said.
Rumble!
A loud bang sounded not far away, followed by bursts of exclamations and screams.
The three of them looked at each other at the same time, and then their faces changed.
I saw that a fort not far away had been completely destroyed at this time, and the Yuan Neng cannon was completely distorted and deformed. There were several mutilated bodies lying on the ground, as well as a number of wounded.
"Quick, carry the wounded back!"
Immediately, someone rushed up, carried the wounded on the ground onto a stretcher, and then transferred them to the rear for treatment.
"What's going on?"
Wei Ziqi asked.
Zhao Licheng didn't speak, his eyes looked outside the city wall.
Wei Ziqi also followed his line of sight to the back of the beast tide, and then was stunned.
I saw that behind the beast tide, a strange beast with a flat head and a huge body was lying in a row. These monstrous beasts are covered in carapaces covered in thorny, barbed barbs, and underneath them are pairs of slender arthropods.
The arthropods of the monstrous beasts plunge into the earth, holding their bodies firmly in place. Immediately, the carapace behind it slowly cracked into several petals, revealing the white muscles underneath.
Immediately, a long, metallic thorn-like object rose from under the carapace, its head raised, and it was facing the direction of Youfeng Town.
As far as the eye can see, these strange beasts are like missile launchers, giving Wei Ziqi a strange sense of déjà vu.
"It's coming. ”
At this time, Zhao Licheng's voice came.
The next moment, Wei Ziqi saw that the muscles on the backs of those strange beasts exerted force, and then one by one the metal bone spurs shot out like crossbow arrows, turning into a black shadow and disappearing in an instant.
"Be careful!"
Someone shouted loudly on the city walls, alerting his companions.
Rumble!
Then, a loud bang rang out over the city walls.
Those metal bone spurs fell onto the city wall, and then exploded, turning into countless tiny sharp bone spurs that roared out in all directions.
Screams rang out one after another, and many adventurers with weak armor fell to the ground, and even the well-armed Legion of Guards was reduced in number.
"Did this attack destroy that fort just now?"
Looking at the tiny bone spurs scattered on the ground, Wei Ziqi instantly understood what had just happened.
