The pillar of light quickly became solidified, revealing a dark glow.

From the city, it looks like a big hole in the sky.

The pillar of light resembles a black waterfall, pouring down into the earth.

Chen Xuan was silent, and the whole city was silent.

At the same time, everyone was staring at the pillar of light that connected the heavens and the earth.

I don't know how long it has been, and the pillar of light has completely penetrated the void teleportation channel and the ground.

The pitch-black walls of light began to flow with various cool tones of light.

It looks cold and magnificent, as if it has been smeared with a layer of cold oil paint.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, the side of the void passage in the pillar of light that connected to the void channel constantly flickered with large gray lights.

When the halo dissipated, a large number of monsters in clusters were revealed.

They slowly descended to the ground following the lead of the pillar of light.

The gray light flashed dozens of times in succession, attracting more than 100,000 monsters.

Under the light of this dim light, the city of Magdam, which was not too bright because of the dark mandala light curtain, became even more cloudy, as if it was an evening with a thunderstorm.

Dark shadows loom over every corner of the city.

The torches and braziers flickered, and the orange light around them flickered and dimmed.

It wasn't until the monster had descended that the pillar of light disappeared quickly and visibly.

The void teleportation channel in the sky that had taken shape had returned to a state like a galaxy turning.

It sat silently in the distance, like a broken texture, or like a different patch, stiffly embellished in mid-air.

After the monster arrived, a tsunami-like roar was set off dozens of kilometers away.

It was a howl of excitement from hundreds of thousands of different demons together.

Tremendous pressure arose in the hearts of everyone in the city.

At this moment, regardless of ethnicity, age, or gender, all the living citizens of the city are bound together by their fate, which is a knot and a catastrophe!

Everyone felt the pressure of a landslide.

You don't have to think about it to know that the monsters will quickly assemble in a team, and then, under the leadership of the high-level intelligent demon descendants, they will attack Magdam City and grab this fruit, which is the first meal after coming to Naroa.

The adventurers and mercenary squads responsible for fighting guerrillas in the defense lines of the outlying villages were even more agitated.

They clenched their weapons tightly, and the sweat from their palms left sweat stains on their weapons.

After urgent reinforcement, all the perimeter lines of defense were turned upside down.

The original thin wooden wall became a layer of "skin", and the garrison engineers, with the help of the earth caster, built a sandwich stone wall.

The two wooden walls are made of "skin", and then the broken [ground thorns] are used as stones to fill in.

Finally, use [Silt Technique] to fill, and by the way, use [Thorn Growth] to solidify the barrier to increase additional defense.

In addition to this, there are a large number of magical and physical traps and barricades laid on the main roads.

This move can buy time when retreating.

For this reason, many houses in the villages outside the state have been demolished and used as materials.

In the case of cultivating magic essence per capita, everyone is a strong man.

Combined with the power of magic, the efficiency is naturally not much lower.

After all, this is a real city-wide mobilization!

But even so, the mercenaries and adventurers were still nervous.

They all understand that their current position is "cannon fodder".

And the first wave of monsters must be the most tragic.

But there was no way back for everyone, plus the association and the state city hall promised heavy rewards.

This made the adventurers and mercenaries who were accustomed to licking blood from the knife edge barely accept the arrangement.

Under the demonic disaster, when you can't stop it, it's useless to hide anywhere.

It is nothing more than the difference between early and late death.

In this case, it is better to fight according to the arrangement.

As for the towering and sturdy castle tower on the third ring in the rear, everyone wants to go up, but not everyone can go up.

Because of the limited number of defensive positions, it is natural that priority should be given to garrisons that can fight in a standardized manner.

Of course, there are no mandatory defensive requirements for the perimeter defense zone.

If this is not possible, they can retreat at any time and return to the city to enter the second line of deployment.

At that time, all the pressure surfaces will be borne by the third circle of the castle tower defense area.

In the four directions of Magdam City, the deployed defensive forces were uneven.

The main defense areas are on the southern and northern lines.

This is followed by the east and west.

As a result, the light cavalry battalion was not directly mobilized, but acted as a mobile force to respond to all sides at any time.

Even if the monster makes a detour to attack other directions, it can buy time for the city to deploy troops.

This plan was discussed by the city hall, and Chen Xuan had no objection to it.

After all, before the monster launches an offensive, it is better to maintain a certain degree of flexibility.

The number of more than 100,000 monsters is huge, but it is not enough to form a siege.

If it is really an attack that blooms on all sides, it is the most arrogant and troublesome situation.

According to the usual practice, the monsters will most likely choose a main attack direction after the formation and rush with all their might.

As for the north of the city, it was not originally the main defense area, but it was temporarily incorporated after the appearance of the demon dragon.

Chen Xuan couldn't be idle after all, he beckoned the second daughter, formed a temporary team, and left the city along the rope ladder lowered by the city tower.

Head to the outer line of defense directly to the south.

When necessary, he can launch the [Same-Domain Flash] at any time to quickly return to the city with the two girls.

At the same moment, on the castle tower to the north, the Zerikan warrior opened her eyes and turned to look south.

Then he silently turned around and looked around at the garrisons who were waiting for him.

He shook his head with a sigh.

"War is synonymous with death."

"But only war can witness such a united situation."

Thinking in her heart, she didn't get up, but continued to close her eyes and breathe in.

At the same time, he felt a rare artistic conception of war.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a water hour has passed.

The tension grew thicker.

During this period, the town hall sent several light cavalry squads with heavy responsibilities, and they obtained first-hand information at the cost of more than half of the loss.

Snowflakes of letterhead carried this information to the town hall.

The temporary headquarters was formed by Baron Bezos, the scholars of Inaoji University, and the various chiefs and guild heads in the city, and the sand table of the city was placed in the center, and everyone's expressions were tense.

Looking at the piece of paper in his hand that recorded the information, Baron Bezos was silent.

This information was all bought with the blood of the soldiers of the light cavalry battalion.

At the moment of the demonic disaster, the filth inside is not important.

"According to the report of the light cavalry team that went out to investigate."

"The main force of the monsters is massively massed in the plain area 63 kilometers south of Magdan City."

"The vanguard is less than ten kilometers away from Bang City"

"At present, there are more than twenty-seven main types of monsters observed, and the total number is estimated to be no less than 120,000!"

"In addition, the original uncleared caves in the west and east directions are also gathering scattered monsters."

"The total number of monsters in a single direction is between 3000~5000."

"In the end, the team sent to the north of the city failed to send back information, and it is suspected that the whole army was wiped out!"

Baron Bezos recounted with some difficulty.

After he finished reading, the venue immediately boiled.

"It's definitely a medium-sized Void Teleportation Channel."

"This kind of passage can teleport more than 100,000 monsters every Naroya Day!"

"You can imagine what kind of pressure our towns will face next."

The first to speak was the old Master Inaoji, who sighed leisurely and looked down at the Star and Moon School Emblem on his chest.

He was greedy for money and had several wives, but this did not prevent him from chasing knowledge and truth.

It did not prevent him from dying with everyone under the catastrophe of the demonic plague.

While leaving home, Inaoji left a strong poison in his home.

Rather than letting the family members be ruined and killed by monsters, it is better to take poison after the city is broken.

At this moment, Inaoji understood for the first time that knowledge could not save lives.

Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a plan to survive the demonic disaster smoothly.

It seems that force alone is the solution to the problem, and it is also the most solid and reliable cornerstone.

"My brethren cannot die in vain."

"The light cavalry battalion will defend Magdam to the death!"

At this moment, Norman Weiner, the captain of the light cavalry battalion wearing leather light armor, suddenly stood up and said loudly.

His eyes were full of fierceness.

This guy is a middle-aged sergeant with a rather tough style.

Typical of grassroots backgrounds, his parents are poor people in the streets of Magdan City.

His talent has been very good since he was a child, so he was drafted by the light cavalry battalion.

When Chen Xuan contracted him, he knew that the umbrella behind Sorel Moran, the leader of the garrison who had coveted him, belonged to a middle-level officer in the light cavalry battalion.

Over the years, that officer has connived at similar squads to do black work, and has made a lot of black gold.

After Chen Xuan informed Norman of the situation, within half an hour, he came to the castle with a bloody human head to plead guilty to him.

In fact, there are many such situations within the garrison and light cavalry battalions.

It's just that Chen Xuan didn't have time to rectify them one by one.

Otherwise, he only needs to borrow the ability of [Insight], and he can easily find out those sinners and moths in the team.

Now that the Demonic Calamity is now, it's not a good time to purge the team.

With him starting, Nigel Dora, the commander of the garrison, also hurriedly expressed his position.

The atmosphere at the scene changed from anxiety to excitement in the face of death.

"Quiet!"

Baron Bezos slapped the table, then picked up the command stick and pointed at the sand table.

There are a lot of vertical chess pieces carved out of wood.

There are coyotes representing mercenaries, goshawks representing adventurers, rats representing the forces of the dark streets, and war horses of the light cavalry battalion.

As for the garrison, it was replaced by the emblem of the state city.

"At present, the south of the city is the main force of the defense zone."

"Nearly four-tenths of the city's garrisons, adventurers, and mercenaries are gathered."

"The north of the city accounted for three-tenths of the troops."

"There is still a tenth of the emergency garrison on the second and first circles."

"The combined strength of the defense zones in the east and west directions is only two-tenths."

"Judging from the location where the monster came, there is only a low probability that those rotten shit will shift the direction of the main attack, after all, a detour of 180 kilometers is enough to delay a lot of time."

Baron Bezos summed up the situation.

It is not easy for hundreds of thousands of monsters to move quickly.

At the very least, there will be a delay of several water clocks.

At that time, the garrison in the city would have been able to complete the transfer first.

The efficiency gap is here, but you don't have to worry too much about the monsters playing around.

"Then why don't we mobilize two-tenths of our troops and divide them among the southern and northern defense zones?"

It was the chief officer in charge of the internal affairs of the city, who was also the deputy of the baron.

His proposal was quickly refuted.

"When there is no elimination of monsters who are good at dark witchcraft, we must not easily transfer the troops of the east and west defense areas."

"There are dark sorcery or evil rituals that can teleport."

"I have to guard against it."

It was the commander of the garrison who spoke, and he was obviously more familiar with the monster routine.

The scene immediately fell into a heated discussion.

This stage is the most abrasive.

While everyone has the same goal, they have different ideas.

In the end, it was Baron Bezos who came forward to end the game.

He smoothed out the controversy with just one sentence.

"The proportion of garrisons will not be changed for the time being."

"The main force of the light cavalry battalion is on standby in the third circle."

"This is the Lord's order..."

……

Just when the city hall was busy gathering information from all sides and coordinating the situation in the city.

On the southern outskirts of Magtan, almost half of the original village has been demolished.

Gone are the crowded and dirty village lanes, replaced by a large road almost full of traps and barricades.

The evacuation route has also been arranged.

There are some windings on the trails on both sides, but you only need to memorize the route a little.

This arrangement can significantly reduce the speed at which the monster advances.

On the outermost stone wall of "Sandwich Biscuits", there are more than 20,000 adventurers and mercenaries waiting here.

In addition, there is a team of about two or three hundred spellcasters hovering over the commanding heights within the walls.

It would be nice to be able to complete the mobilization in a hurry, and there is no way to plan the whole team for them.

So most of these adventurers stay together in small groups.

Mirroring the way you sweep the caves on a daily basis, you'll be in the way with your companions who are good at melee combat.

Crossbow shooters and casters stay at a safer rear high point.

Within a hundred meters of the stone wall, there are more than 17 wooden towers.

In addition, there are nets filled with logs and rolling stones, and wooden barrels filled with slippery oil.

The ground outside the wall is also mostly covered with intertwined thorns.

One or two hundred meters away, there were still a large number of ground thorns.

The power of magic is combined enough to alter the terrain and create a buffer suitable for output.

Chen Xuan stood on the wall with a chain box on his back and an M2 heavy machine gun in dual wield.

Beside him, the two women were also holding an M2 heavy machine gun.

After he unleashed the power of the silver-level powerhouse, the adventurers and mercenaries around him all withdrew their slightly covetous gaze and no longer looked at them wantonly.

There was a cacophony of conversation, and the air was cloudy with the crowd.

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded!

"The monster striker has arrived near the outpost in the south of the city!"

A shrill shout echoed, and all the noise died down at once!

……
