Chapter 200: Fierce Battle of the Defensive Line II.
Above the scorched earth, there was a strong smell of burning in the air.
The area in front of the makeshift line was like a furnace, and even the air was faintly distorted by the heat.
In terms of the layout of the defensive line, Magdam City can be said to have made a bloody investment.
The flame pit used a lot of precious magic materials, and a total of twelve clusters of flames would bake the monsters trapped in it into charcoal, each of which was equivalent to the power of third-order fire-based magic, and could sustain a flameshoot for several minutes!
Even if it was filled with dirt at this time, the cracks in the soil were still full of flames.
The surging flames below seemed to erupt at any moment.
However, the monsters didn't care about this, and under the influence of the dark mandala light curtain, they were always in a state of frenzy, putting on a posture of never dying.
Almost as soon as the burrowing worms receded, the remaining black-backed pigs and dog demons roared over the scorched earth, vowing to level the southern front!
The hastily filled pit was filled with soft soil, and the monsters stepped on it, making it more and more compact, and naturally there was a subsidence arc again.
And as the flame continued to erupt, the soil was scorched hot.
As far as the eye could see, the location of the pit was glowing orange-red.
Black smoke rose from the gaps, and from time to time several smaller streams of flame burst out of the cracks.
All the monsters that passed by there were affected, and some of the chaotic mana on their bodies was consumed.
So this pit has become a kind of "hot foot" debuff for monsters at this point.
After crossing the fire pit, the monster cluster officially entered the 100-meter moving average of the defensive line.
All the adventurers and mercenaries on the temporary city wall suddenly became nervous.
"Shield warriors in formation!"
"The spear group followed up with the spear for the ridge and prepared for hand-to-hand combat."
"The second echelon is on standby!"
"Front-line shooters and spellcasters retreat to the third echelon of the village guard!"
"Shooters and casters in the back position prepare to face the enemy!"
"Sentinels notify the third circle of defense, open the gates, and get ready to respond!"
In charge of the temporary command was the lieutenant of the garrison, named Tansen Mars.
He has a slightly flamboyant long pale blonde hair, he is good at fighting with two-handed swords, his fighting style is very fierce, and his magic cultivation is also close to the peak of the silver level, which can be regarded as a first-line powerhouse in the city.
Therefore, Tansen is also known as the "Lion of Magdam City".
If the Demonic Calamity hadn't erupted, he would have been able to reach the gold level in a Naroa or two years at most.
At that time, he will be transferred to Atlas and hold an important position in one of the legions.
Chen Xuan had no idea of taking command at all.
He knew his depth, and before he experienced a large-scale monster war, he was a rookie in the legion-level command battle.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and the tactical arrangements for dealing with monsters are still left to the aborigines.
He just needs to grasp the general plan.
Anyway, the demon disaster is about everyone's life, and no one will cheat and cheat in this kind of thing.
Especially those officials who have vested interests in the city will risk their lives to defend the city.
In addition to this, there are slave contracts as safeguards.
Tansen Mars had also made a pact with him.
At present, all the middle and high-level people in the city are all slaves of Chen without exception.
As for the bottom, only the coolie mules and the severed fingers are completely controlled by contract.
Others, such as scattered mercenaries, adventurers, or garrison squads, he can't contract them for the time being.
I saw in the distance that Tansen had a hard face, resolute eyebrows and eyes, a pair of decent mustaches on his lips, and a set of standard light armor of a state city officer.
He had been standing in the tower not far from the front of the line, surrounded by several bannermen.
As he activates the flame trap, he gives a series of commands.
The crossbow shooters and spellcasters who had been staying a short distance behind the first line quickly left the high ground and retreated to the third echelon five hundred meters behind to re-garrison.
And the second echelon, which was more than two hundred meters away from the temporary city wall, was ready to attack.
At the same time, the warrior group holding shields, spears, and swords almost pressed against the temporary city wall, and discharged several shield walls at intervals of thirty or forty meters like speed bumps, assuming a posture of engaging the enemy in close combat.
Through the Banner Command and the Magic Horn, his orders were quickly transmitted everywhere.
This means that they are about to abandon the city walls.
The next step is to resist in waves, with the help of horses, barricades, and traps placed in the village, so that the onslaught of the monsters is dispersed, and then retreat from the side to the castle defense line.
Chen Xuan frantically pulled the trigger, and the M2 heavy machine gun spewed out deadly flames.
Bullets were wrapped in extremely impactful kinetic energy and shot at the black-backed pigs who were rushing forward.
He turned his head and glanced at Ophelia and the kitten lady not far away.
The second girl instantly understood what he meant, stopped firing without hesitation, and jumped up and down to the commanding heights of the tower farther back with the receiver in succession.
At this time, the orc shield warrior named Mogroga beside Chen Xuan glanced at him with a complicated expression.
When I look back, my eyes are resolute.
With the evacuation of the Shooter and Caster as the Shooter and Spellcaster gradually withdraw, ranged attacks in Magdam's makeshift line have come to a complete halt.
On the monster side, on the other hand, the "artillery position" constructed by the Death Light Rhinoceros, the Eye Demon and the Headless Stone Demon is ruthlessly pouring down on the temporary position.
Dozens of balls of light, stone projectiles, or exploding goblins fall every second.
There were also hundreds of Eye Demon beams sweeping around.
In such a situation, the Magical Shield spawning device on the front line quickly collapsed.
The shield that resembled the lid of a colored mushroom shattered.
Fortunately, the front line has long been emptied, and the shield warriors have used their own means to unleash defensive magic skills, and at the same time activate the protective scrolls or protective jewelry they carry, building a new front.
All of this happens in a matter of seconds.
Just as Rebecca and Ophelia retreated to the rear.
The surviving more than 2,000 black-backed pigs rushed to the city like a tide!
"Boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The sandwich walls, which had been reinforced several times, shook violently.
A black-backed pig slammed into the wall without fear of death.
The vines and wooden walls on the surface were smashed open, revealing the piles of stone inside.
Thousands of black-backed pigs slammed into each other at the same time, causing the walls to shake.
After all, it was only a temporary line of defense, and it could not be compared to the towers of Magdan City that had been reinforced many times.
And at the same time as the black-backed pig hit the city wall, those dog demons also waited for the opportunity to jump up, trampling on the bodies of their companions and jumping onto the wall.
The warriors at the front built a shield wall against the dog demon, and the warriors who assisted behind them waited for the opportunity to stab their spears.
Chen Xuan had already put away the M2 heavy machine gun, and his body was surrounded by pale cyan wind spirit magic power floating in the air more than a hundred meters above the ground, which was the effect of the second-order wind magic flotation technique.
Just as the Inudemon and the Blackback Pig were charging into melee combat with the front-row warriors.
The flying monsters flew over in the dark.
Chen Xuan stared intently at Tansen Mars, who was staying in the tower behind.
He kept an eye on the scene, his expression serious and indifferent.
As the canine demons poured onto the walls, the shield warriors at the front began to crumble.
There was a gap in the battle line visible to the naked eye, and even some dog demons crossed the first line of melee defense and rushed to the rear scattered, and were sniped by the second line of shooters.
The makeshift sandwich wall was also crumbling under the fierce charge of the black-backed pig.
"Strong winds blowing! Frontier retreat! ”
The orders from the towers gave way to the soldiers on the front line as if they were pardoned!
To tell the truth, even though they had already had the intention of dying, when the monster swarm came to them, and the ferocious canine demon jumped up and rolled on the shield, everyone still felt unspeakable fear.
Compared to the monster horde, the battle line they have built is like a sandbag to stop the tide, and sooner or later it will be drowned by the raging tide.
The defenders of the outer defense line of Magdam City were half a pound and two taels in terms of numbers, and the second round of monster phalanxes.
But in terms of quality, it is far inferior.
More than eighty percent of the adventurers and mercenaries who participated in the garrison were at the level of black iron, about one and a half percent were at the level of bronze level cultivation, and the remaining half percent were at the level of silver.
And it's basically the early to middle stage of the silver level.
After all, this is a stage of cultivation that requires a long period of accumulation of water grinding kung fu.
In the face of the impact of those clusters composed of second-order, third-order, and even fourth-order monsters, it is normal to not be able to stop it.
In addition, adventurers and mercenaries usually fight in squad mode, and have not received combat training from formed regiments, so it is extremely difficult to cope with the current situation.
If there is no big rout, they can already be regarded as having excellent psychological quality.
Fortunately, the Bangcheng Command has already made an evacuation plan corresponding to each stage.
The large magic array buried behind the temporary city wall took effect instantly.
A strong wind whistled and suddenly formed a wall of wind.
The strong wind blew away the inuchi and the black-backed pig.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, those front-line fighters hurriedly retreated, leaving two or three hundred corpses in place.
At this time, a large group of batwing demons and rotten vultures flew over the defense line first.
The massive Heartless Eagle was further back in the finale.
In an instant, the wall of wind below with a fierce air flow swirled into the air.
It's like a broom made of wind blowing a swarm of flying monsters.
But the strong wind blew and the magic then disintegrated.
This wave bought nearly half a minute of precious time for the front line.
"Boom!"
The ground shook in the distance.
Tubular burrowing worms shuttled in, slowing down the excavation only a little bit when they were blocked by the hardened ground outside the city walls!
Taking advantage of the opportunity to break through the temporary city wall, the second round of monster phalanx was almost completely pressed.
In the blink of an eye, it brought tremendous pressure to the southern front.
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
When the effect of the strong wind was over and the soldiers at the front were evacuated, the sandwich wall was overwhelmed by the impact of the black-backed pigs and collapsed.
CHEN XUAN FLOATED IN THE AIR, AND HIS HANDS WERE REPLACED WITH TWO M134 7.62MM SIX-BARRELED MACHINE GUNS.
Behind him was replaced by a large piggyback box.
This chain box contains 7,500 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition!
Inserting the bullet chains at both ends into the receiver made him go from a dual-wielding M2 heavy machine gun to a dual-wielding M134 "Terminator".
Hundreds of kilograms of weight were stress-free for him.
Suspended in the air, Chen Xuan watched as the city wall collapsed, and the black-backed pigs, dog demons, and ground-burrowing worms on the ground poured into the defense line in almost no particular order.
The batwing demons and venom vultures in the air also quickly adjusted their flight attitudes, as if a dark cloud obscured them.
The screaming Rotten Heart Demon Eagles distanced themselves from each other, and their sharp eagle eyes locked on, ready to pounce at any moment.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan pressed the click switch of M134.
The small motor is started with the power supply of a lithium battery.
The six barrels rotated along the central axis, and officially entered the pre-launch phase.
After the adjustment was complete, he pulled the trigger!
"Dada..."
The sound of bullets coming out of the chamber so dense that they almost coincided appeared.
The two spear flames that radiated nearly half a meter were particularly eye-catching.
At the same time, two small chains of light that could not be seen clearly appeared.
In the absence of tracer bullets, the bullets fired do not actually emit light.
At most, it will burst out for a short time during the flight due to air friction and a primer that has not yet burned out.
This time, Chen Xuan didn't care about the monsters rushing on the ground, but aimed the barrel of his gun at those batwing demons and rotten vultures!
A multi-barrel rapid-fire machine gun used as a vehicle.
The maximum rate of fire of the M134 can reach 7000 rounds / minute.
However, its actual combat rate of fire is limited by the battlefield environment and ammunition volume, and can only reach 3000~3500 rounds per minute, which is used for fire suppression and support in a short time.
But for Chen Xuan, there is no such concern.
He carried a special chain box on his back, which in the case of dual wielding could ensure half a minute of fire at full speed.
In other words, hundreds of bullets are fired almost every second.
The multi-barreled machine gun can be said to be the limit of the rate of fire of a human individual weapon.
In the future, whether it is a multi-barrel matrix, a super-high-speed melee defense gun, or the famous metal storm, it will not be considered a single weapon.
Metal Storm, in particular, doesn't even have the shape of a gun, it's just a set of iron boxes.
The structure is actually similar to the multi-barreled salute and fireworks of the Xia Kingdom.
I saw an amazing scene at the scene.
Chen Xuan in the air dual-wielded two revoltor machine guns, facing the flying monster cluster alone, frantically pouring firepower.
Looking up from below, the two half-meter-long gun flames are inconspicuous.
Chen Xuan's whole person was even smaller compared to the cluster of flying monsters.
But his attack was quite effective, like a knife visibly ripping away a piece of rotten flesh.
On average, one or two venom vultures or batwings are shot down every second.
It's just that the distance between the two sides is also rapidly narrowing, and he is like a lonely boat that will be swallowed up at any time.
Just when Chen Xuan was about to be surrounded.
He suddenly disappeared in place, appearing about a hundred meters behind.
This is the effect of [Same Domain Flash].
Now he can't care about hiding anymore.
With the continent of Naroa in full turmoil at any moment, it's a good time for heroes, braves, and inhumans to rise.
And Chen Xuan is destined to make a name for himself in this world!
Magdam's Scourge was his first battlecard!
