Chapter 940: The Kraken Siege
Although Chen Mo joined the Golden Workshop as an apprentice refiner, he did not hide his identity as an 'Ice Descendant'.
Therefore, he has a transcendent status among the apprentices of the Golden Workshop.
At this moment, the street was already in chaos, several apprentices looked at him, and Chen Mo immediately decided: "Go to the store!" ”
Immediately, everyone ran in the direction of the store.
The rapid sound of the horn did not stop, and there were dense explosions and waves outside the city wall, as well as strange screams one after another, such a big thing happened, and the shopkeeper of the golden square also panicked, and saw Chen Mo running over with a group of apprentices, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're finally here."
The shopkeeper said anxiously: "This kind of thing happened to the owner just after leaving Sea Breeze City, I just sent someone over to ask, the kraken who came this time is not a joke, in case the war ahead is tight, the homeless people take advantage of the chaos to rob, and the store suffers losses, I will let the owner down." ”
He looked at the apprentices and said, "Don't go anywhere today, just stay in the shop and guard these blood weapons with me." ”
All the shopkeeper thinks about is that the store's finances will not be lost.
But Chen Mo, who has experienced many wars, knows the cruelty of racial wars, and immediately said: "Don't forget, it is the Kraken who is attacking the city, if they attack Sea Breeze City, do you think that we who are guarding the golden square will still have a way to live!" ”
On weekdays, Chen Mo does not contradict the shopkeeper and refiner, and in the eyes of apprentices and refiners, he is a person who understands the general situation.
But at such a critical moment, seeing that the shopkeeper was already panicking, he couldn't care so much.
"This ......"
The shopkeeper didn't know what to do.
Chen Mo said decisively: "Distribute the high-quality blood weapons in the shop to the apprentices, if we can still survive, we will naturally return them, if we can't survive, it is useless to keep these blood weapons." ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was still hesitating, Chen Mo immediately launched the fireball technique and forcibly destroyed the counter.
"Alas!"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper no longer stopped and motioned for everyone to take away the best quality blood weapons in the store.
Chen Mo took two blood weapons, namely the Fire Mirror and the Banshee Veil.
These two blood weapons, one can summon the Elemental Firebird and release the Bead Fireball Technique, and the other can summon the Grey Banshee Protector and unleash the Soul Protector on nearby enemies.
Seeing this, the other apprentices also took away the high-quality blood vessels in the shop as much as possible.
Chen Mo's purpose in doing this, in addition to putting himself in the shoes of this crisis, is to integrate himself into the lives of ordinary people as much as possible, and experience the artistic conception of the years mentioned in the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", so as to practice until the later stage of Dacheng and completely reborn.
"Let's go!"
The Golden Square is very close to the city walls, only two streets away.
Standing under the city wall, looking at the city wall dozens of meters high, even Chen Mo couldn't help but feel insignificant.
People kept coming this way, and at the same time, people kept fleeing in panic.
There was already chaos in the neighborhood.
Chen Mo and the others, who kept climbing up the stairs, couldn't help but show horror when they saw the soldiers screaming and falling into the darkness from the city wall, and some of them retreated.
"What's that!"
Already on the verge of climbing to the top of the city wall, one of them seemed to see something and cried out in horror.
Chen Mo, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but look over.
It was a huge translucent creature similar to a jellyfish, and at the moment it was floating in the air at the top of the city wall and shaking its tentacles, each tentacle was more than ten meters long, and these tentacles fell a large number of light spots, and after ordinary soldiers came into contact with it, their bodies suddenly seemed to have been steamed by boiling water, and their skin became extremely red, and they rolled on the city wall in pain.
Their blood was boiling.
Some of these inconspicuous fires landed on Chen Mo and the others, and Chen Mo immediately activated the banshee veil, this inconspicuous silk scarf formed a hurricane around everyone, protecting everyone in the central area, and faintly could see the image of a hideous-looking banshee.
Under the protection of the Banshee Veil, these sparks were dispersed.
Fortunately, the High Ice-Descendants at the top of the city wall also noticed the Kraken, even when several elemental creatures approached this side, including a fire demon, a group of wind bats, and a stone giant.
Especially the fire demon, which is very large.
Its body was burning with high-temperature flames, and it had at least the strength of a second-level peak creature, and it spewed out a pillar of flame light dozens of meters away, which actually lit up the nearby sky and also allowed everyone to see the fierce battle under the night sky in a more distant area.
Compared to these few high-level krakens, the dense low-level krakens are constantly climbing upwards from the sea at the bottom of the city wall outside.
These dense low-level krakens are the key to determining the outcome of this battle.
The human soldiers at the top of the city walls activated various mechanisms to fight back.
Some of them were spikes sticking out of thin air from the waist of the towering city walls, and huge balls of thorns swept through the sky, and there were countless fire oils, boulders, rolling logs, and bombs.
These traps are extremely powerful, and they can often easily kill dozens of climbing krakens who screamed and fell off the city wall and fell back into the sea, leaving only the viscous blood water staining the city wall red, Chen Mo couldn't help but think of all the tragic situations in the doomsday mission when he saw this scene.
And as the fire demon's attack stopped, the light in the sky gradually went out.
Darkness is back in the neighborhood.
Although the fire demon's attack caused some damage to this kraken, Chen Mo noticed that this kraken was indeed very restrained against elemental creatures as the intelligence said, and at least half of the fire demon's attack was absorbed by it.
The attacks of other elemental creatures are also very limited in their damage.
And with a gentle sweep of its tentacles, whenever an elemental creature is touched, it is like spring and snow, as if it has been struck by lightning, and its form will easily collapse.
Then.
Chen Mo and the others finally climbed to the top of the city wall.
Because the fortifications of the city wall here are too tall, a few people climbing up is almost equivalent to climbing more than twenty floors, above which is a wide platform, and a magic crystal cannon is prepared for the direction of the sea, if the uncle is here, his eyes will definitely shine.
"Ah......h
The fat scream made Chen Mo instinctively pull away one of the apprentices who followed him.
This is a kraken similar to an eel, very fast, holding a translucent giant sword, and if you look closely at the bone spurs that seem to be some kind of creature, it is quickly interspersed in the crowd, and Chen Mo and the others are the next targets.
The apprentice who was saved by Chen Mo was almost cut off by it.
"it!"
He was obviously aware of the danger, and after a moment of pale pause, he then blew the conch blood weapon in his hand with a look of fear, and the strange sound wave locked onto the eel-like kraken, causing it to roll on the ground in pain.
Seeing this, the two Icescent soldiers ran over and raised their weapons to slash the Kraken.
"Thank you."
One of the soldiers gasped and came to the apprentice beside Chen Mo to thank him.
He came back to his senses, his expression was a little dazed and frightened, and the soldier couldn't help but look at Chen Mo, noticing the firebird he summoned and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Chen Mo responded while driving the firebird to attack the krakens who had not yet climbed to the top of the city wall: "We are from the Golden Fang, and we came here after hearing the war horn. ”
"That's great."
This soldier should be a squad leader, and after wiping the blood off the knife, he gasped: "The city lord has long expected that these krakens will definitely attack Sea Breeze City, so he has prepared in advance, but he still underestimated the scale of these krakens, it seems that this time it will be a bitter battle, but you can rest assured, our city walls are tall and strong enough, and we are already asking for help from neighboring cities......"
And just like that, the war went on all night.
At the beginning, Sea Breeze City was obviously a little caught off guard, but fortunately, it was supported, as the sky gradually brightened, the soldiers began to forcibly recruit the ice people in the city to come to the city wall to defend, and Chen Mo and the others were now awarded badges and squadron leader professional rewards because of their initiative last night, responsible for managing more than thirty low-level ice people as second-line soldiers.
Although the Kraken's attack is still ongoing, it is not as intense as last night.
"Chen Mo, this time it's really thanks to you!"
Geng Li was also forcibly recruited and was included in his name by Chen Mo.
"Brother Geng, don't worry, I have already reported your medical ability to the above, and I believe that you will be transferred to the rear very soon, and you don't have to risk it here."
When Geng Li heard this, he showed a relieved expression.
"Well, I don't know how long this war will last."
The blood of some krakens is corrosive, and after the city wall is soaked in this blood, it will quickly become crispy, so it needs to be cleaned as soon as possible, which is also the main job of Chen Mo and the others.
They need to first throw the corpses of the Sirens on the walls back into the sea, and then use rudimentary devices to wash the blood from the walls to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Although the large Kraken has become scarce, and the occasional attack is only launched remotely in the distant sea, the low-level Kraken is still continuing to climb the city walls, and many of the mechanisms on the walls are out of order during repeated activation.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
The women of the city were also organized to do what they could.
After a busy night, Chen Mo was also hungry.
He didn't have much time to rest, so he took dry food and a bowl of hot soup and came to the edge of the city wall.
Not only were the human soldiers tired, but these krakens were obviously also very tired, Chen Mo noticed that the seaside reef under the city wall was already full of kraken corpses, and the shadows on the sea farther away were sticking out many heads, looking at this human city.
Some Krakens took the opportunity to transport the corpses of their own kind back to the depths of the sea.
Although there are many battles between the two sides, there have been few large-scale wars of this kind since ancient times, on the one hand, there is no one to control these Krakens to force wars, and on the other hand, the Ice Descendants have lost their former strength, and the friction between the two sides is limited to small groups.
"Woo woo woo ......"
A woman who happened to see her husband's corpse, which was being carried off the city wall by two soldiers, broke down and cried bitterly on the spot, causing a high-ranking Ice Descendant Pavilion owner to take her and her husband's corpses away from here after a little comfort, so as not to affect the morale of the battle.
The apprentice who had the best relationship with him on weekdays, named Wang Fan, stood by his side.
"I feel that in the future, Sea Breeze City will never be able to return to its former life."
Just as he sighed, another apprentice ran over with an excited face with dry food in hand, and said excitedly: "Come and see a kraken corpse over there!" ”
Hearing this, several people followed him and quickly ran over the city wall, and after a while, they saw a corpse more than four meters long similar to a sea lion, which was being extracted by several soldiers to use the essence blood as a blood weapon.
But they apparently didn't realize that the most valuable part of the corpse was its teeth!
"Third-level blood teeth, as long as we can get one, we will be rich!!"
The man's voice, almost squeezed out of his throat, whispered excitedly,
