Chapter 200: The Dead
The wood thorns they burst out of the explosion seemed to be painted into one seed after another, and the roots spread wildly.
At this time, the city wall began to shake violently, and the roots of a large number of wooden thorns grew wildly, inserting into the brick cracks of the city wall, and the squeezing force belonging to the plant roots tore the city wall from the inside out.
The walls of Kyoto, which had been impregnable for hundreds of years, have been completely transformed into a sea of dead wood.
The growing branches seemed to be desperate for life, and while the saplings were still spreading, they began to attack the defenders on the city walls.
"Help!" An ashigaru was caught off guard and was directly wound through his chest, spitting a large amount of blood clots and shouting for help.
However, it was difficult for samurai warriors to cut through branches in one go, even with swords with spiritual powers, after all, katana swords were designed to cut through animal tissue, and their effect on this kind of enemy that was more inclined to plants was limited.
No one thought that the enemy this time would be this kind of vegetative person.
"Brush!"
The crimson light of the knife spanned nearly 100 meters, and the cutting force formed by the high pressure of the liquid fire directly cut off any branch that stretched out its hand.
The samurai, who had been entrapped in large numbers, were able to break free, and they quickly took up arms again to resist.
But it was clear that it would be difficult for them to inflict substantial damage on such monsters, and even Levi's napalm with more than a thousand degrees of flame would take several minutes to burn until it was reduced to char before it could stop their movements.
Many people think that fire restrains plants, but in fact, living plants are far more tolerant to fire than animals by hundreds of times.
It's just that because plants can't move, flames usually take much longer to ignite plants than they do to burn animals.
It was also during this time that a large number of thorny monsters began to come under the city walls, and one by one they exploded into trees that rose from the ground.
The samurai and ashigaru defenders on the walls began to suffer casualties, and all of these monsters were piled up under the walls.
At this time, Levi put his hands together, and the fierce liquid fire poured down from the city wall like a wave, and all the thorny monsters everywhere they went were collectively ignited, and then directly carbonized, turning into rising black smoke.
Since napalm with more than 1,000 degrees is difficult to ignite, replace it with a liquid fire with thousands of degrees.
The flames were like a waterfall rushing down, engulfing all the thorny monsters in an instant, whether it was the dead wood growing on the city wall or the monsters underneath, they were all removed without any resistance at this level of temperature.
The other side of the entire Kyoto Castle Wall began to turn into magma-like facets, and the temperature on the walls soared.
However, the walls of the capital city have begun to be in danger, and the internal structure has been broken by the root system of dead wood, and it is estimated that it will not take much impact to collapse the entire city wall.
But in this way, all the monsters have finally been solved.
Levi gasped for a while, and this wave directly emptied nearly half of his spiritual power, which was due to the fact that he was practicing in almost his free time during the quest dungeon, coupled with the system's 460% spiritual bonus, his spiritual power was more than ten times more than at the beginning.
The Necronomicon is sending out a hint, and it's clear that these thorny monsters are weird tokens, and that the secondary hosts of the tokens are still the Daimyo Alliance.
It is possible that the Daimyo coalition forces of Mt. Atagoyama all attracted a strange attack and all died there.
And if this guess is correct, then there is a good chance that there will be as many as 10,000 such monsters.
And just now, they only wiped out nearly a thousand at most.
"We succeeded, long live the Lord!" Some of the samurai began to tear off the strips of white cloth tied around their heads, holding them in their hands and waving them incessantly, shouting loudly.
But soon, their happy expressions froze in place.
In the distance, densely packed more monsters began to attack, and even this time the number reached several times that of the first time.
Even after more than ten kilometers, you can see the Kuroshio Tide that is surging over in a dense manner.
Even from such a distance, one of the monsters could be seen alerting to the extraordinarily large monster, which seemed to be a giant willow tree, dragging it forward.
"Impossible, what are you kidding, why are there so many of them, what is the situation with this monster!" Someone had already started yelling.
Koizumi pulled out his sword and shouted: "Don't say a discouraged word to me, even if we face more monsters, we have to defend here, behind this is Kyoto, it's your wife and daughter, you don't want your wife and daughter to all become that kind of monster!" Then stand up for me! ”
"Ha Yin ......"
"No spirit, louder, inaudible!"
"Hayin!"
Koizumi saw that Levi was resting, and immediately took over the command: "The Fujiwara Kunika group began to check the situation of the Kamui Kunika, and the rest of the people began to pull more artillery up the city wall. ”
Levi looked at that number of thorn monsters, he began to feel strained, even if he opened up his fire again this wave and cleared up this batch of thorn monsters, but it was only a few thousand more numbers, and at that time, his spiritual power was exhausted and had to leave.
However, according to estimates, there are more than 10,000 monsters in this group, and unless they only attack once a day, they will not be able to clean up this group of monsters at all.
"I'm sorry everyone, we can't protect Kyoto with our current strength alone, and I now need two teams of more than twenty people to go out of the city with me to deal with the source of the monster." Levi let out a long sigh and said,
"And, this time out, ten deaths, I need one team to lure the monsters with their own lives, pull them far away, and delay the rest of the defenders of the city wall, while the other team rushes into Mt. Atago, and the other team will rush into Mt. Atago, and there may be no survivors."
Levi's tone was calm, but the words he said silenced everyone around him.
This is his plan after careful consideration, if he sticks to Kyoto, Levi can only survive the next wave at most, but there are still nearly 10,000 monsters, then he will definitely not be able to hold it, and at that time, Kyoto will only have the possibility of breaking the city.
He also had another option, which was to release the remaining spiritual power from the Apocalypse Day, relying on the Apocalypse Day's field flames to block the advance of the Thorn Monster.
Book of Hundred Leagues
However, even if he used all the remaining spiritual power, the duration of the Apocalypse Day would be less than two hours, and if he could hold on for these two hours, the next wave of time Apocalypse Day would have disappeared.
Levi could have escaped, and with his strength, he could go anywhere in the world, but in this case, everything he had done before would be useless.
Besides, he's not alone now.
The only way to survive is to solve the source of this weirdness.
And if this plan is to be carried out, it will take a team of decoys to lure the monster in the opposite direction, whether it is for the people on the city walls or for Levi himself to buy enough time.
