389. The enemy has become cunning
At this time, on the periphery of the City of Pleasure, tens of thousands of monsters were divided into three ways, and gradually converged towards an empty town under the guidance of a unique smell.
When viewed from above, it looks like three pitch-black streams merging into a pond.
Although it can't be compared to the larger-scale monster tide behind, such an order of magnitude is enough to destroy the under-guarded City of Pleasure.
And on the back of one of the extremely large rhinoceros monsters, there was also a young waiter, with his head tilted, his eyes closed, letting the rain wash away, and then sniffing vigorously, as if to distinguish the smell of the air.
"I smelled fear and despair, mixed with hesitation and doubt...... Hee-hee, humans are the ugliest creatures in the world, and as arrogant as ever, they naively think that their stupid plans will always work. ”
The waiter said in a voice that was neither male nor female, stretched out his hand and patted the monster under him, urging it to go faster, and continued:
"So it only takes a little bit of guidance to make their defenses vulnerable."
With that, he stretched out his hand and tossed in the air for a while, and a curtain of water appeared in front of him, showing the situation in the three towns at the front.
It can be clearly seen that the Joy Order has discovered the monster's abnormal movement, which has caused a not small chaos on the originally strict defense line, and they don't know how to deal with this handful of monsters that have suddenly bypassed the defense line.
wants to send a strong man to pursue, but is afraid that the defense line will be lost; But if it is not stopped, the city of pleasure behind will be thousands of miles away, and the lives will be ruined.
The witch who looks like a waiter can even hear a quarrel through some secret arrangements:
"Let go of me! My wife and children are still in the city! Let me go back! Even if it's me! ”
"Shut up! Don't shake the line of defense! This is an edict from the Holy One! ”
"But if these monsters are allowed to pass, what is the point of our perseverance?"
"Hold on! Don't waver! If a larger-scale tide of monsters is formed, then it will not only be the City of Pleasure that will be destroyed. ”
"Are we going to work for other cities?"
"Not other cities, but the whole of human civilization."
"Fuck your civilization, I haven't lived enough! I don't want to lose my life in this hellish place. ”
"Let's calm down, everyone, hope has not been completely broken, the monsters behind don't seem to have become smarter, only the ones that have been bypassed have suddenly become a little special, as long as we can resist the back ones, there is still a chance to dissolve the tide of monsters!"
"That's right! There are people from other cities, they will come to our aid, their Sages will come to our rescue! ”
"Hehe, death is on the verge of death, still waiting for someone to save you? And what about our own Holy One? ”
"Alas...... Who called us asylum? followed the weakest sage and lived in the worst city...... I can't escape, I can't escape......"
The witch admired with great interest the ugliness of human beings at such a time, and her face showed a look of enjoyment.
"Hehe, it's useless, no matter what kind of response you make, I can easily resolve it, in front of the great power from the master mother, everything you do is just the struggle of ants, making people laugh......
It's a pity that my control of the power of the master mother is still too immature, and it can only affect these 50,000 cuties, otherwise, I don't need to go around in circles with you. ”
The waiter-like witch said disdainfully, waved her hand to disperse the water curtain in front of her, stood up from the monster's back again, and looked at the empty town not far away.
"Hmph~ It's pretty fast to escape, but how long can you escape? Hurry up, cuties! Drink the blood of men! ”
With his urging, the three monsters that had bypassed the defense line unified, turning into three rapidly rushing streams, and soon occupied the outlying areas of the town.
Then, the witch ordered the monsters to slow down a little, wait for those behind to follow, and then gather into an irresistible wave to storm the heart of the City of Pleasure.
"Hehe, I wonder if they have resolved the turmoil in the city? But even if it is solved, it will not matter, they will soon find out that everything we have done in the city is only to play and fool them, and the real power to destroy this city has always been in my hands. ”
The witch said to herself, looked back again, roughly estimated the size of the monster, and wanted to adjust the time.
But in his ears, he suddenly heard a special wind.
咻 ~ 咻 ~ 咻 ~ 咻 ~
It was the sound of a cannonball piercing through the air.
"Oh? There is still sporadic resistance? It was a bit of a surprise to me, and then it was still just a stupid struggle, just a few shells, and it couldn't be ......."
Before the witch could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by several violent explosions.
Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom~
With a thunderous roar, the entire ground began to tremble slightly, splashing large clouds of dirt and smoke, mixed with a large amount of monster residue and debris, together enveloping the temporary assembly point of this monster.
"This ...... How can it be so powerful? Is it humanity's secret weapon? ”
The witch's face couldn't help but stiffen slightly.
The previous four shells killed at least 100 monsters......
He is quite clear about the various hot weapons of the human race, especially the weapons of the City of Pleasure, and knows very well what kind of damage a single cannonball can cause.
Artillery may be useful for low-danger monsters, but from Danger 3 onwards, it will be difficult to shake.
And the witch's 'straight smashing the Yellow Dragon' this time, in order to ensure the team's travel speed and combat effectiveness, it has been specially screened, and most of them are monsters with a danger level of 3 or more, which is equivalent to an elite army of monsters.
This will inevitably lead to the danger of those monsters behind not being high enough to put too much pressure on the defense line.
Therefore, if the human side can look at the situation from an omniscient perspective, they will find that the best way to deal with it at the moment is to take the initiative and first solve the relatively weak monster groups behind, so that the monsters that are rushing from farther away cannot find their way and fall into chaos on their own, so as to completely block the convergence of the monster tide.
Then turn around and deal with this group of lonely monsters, and you can eliminate this crisis.
But it also means that the unsuspecting City of Pleasure will be looted by tens of thousands of monsters and killed by countless people......
In that case, even if the monster tide is finally eliminated, it will be similar to losing.
Therefore, the witch who looks like a waiter firmly believes that no human can make such a choice.
But if his side is stubbornly resisted by humans and cannot rush into the city, it will obviously be a different ending......
The witch knew the consequences of this, so she immediately issued an order:
"Find the location of those guns!"
As a result, hundreds of flying monsters broke away from the large army and searched the sky for artillery positions.
The humans didn't make them wait long, and soon a second round of four cannonballs covered them, smashing straight into the area with the highest concentration of monsters.
For a while, the splashing of stumps and colorful blood plasma stained this area that was originally a train station vividly.
With just four shells, it produced a lethal effect that hundreds of artillery pieces could not hit.
But the flying monsters also locked on to the source of the cannonballs at the same time, and flew towards the other side of the town.
"Heh~ It's not a big problem, as long as I solve this powerful secret weapon, I can still control the situation!"
The witch said to herself.
However, in response to him was the third round of firepower......
This time, even the witch herself flew into the sky with a violent explosion, but only the upper half of her body, and the lower half of her body had completely turned into powder.
However, for creatures like them, the body is just a set of containers, and the loss of the lower half of the body is not life-threatening, but only affects movement.
So the witch still has the strength to continue to muttered to herself:
"Damn! Why is this cannonball so powerful? And ...... of this Possessed of extraordinary power? ”
"And! Didn't I already find the position of artillery? Why didn't the enemy be dealt with? ”
The answer to him was the fourth round of fire coverage, which still only had four shells, but it could still shoot hundreds of heavy guns.
……………………
"Hahaha! It's so cool! ”
Lloyd laughed excitedly as he rubbed his hands back and forth on a palm-sized cannonball, imbuing it with supernatural power.
Then he reloaded the shell into a nearby mortar-like weapon, and then proceeded to process the next shell.
The two top students who were not afraid of death and came with them were doing the same thing.
At this time, they were standing on a relatively high hillside, and there were hundreds of monster corpses scattered nearby, all of which were flying monsters that had pounced earlier.
Lloyd had long expected the surprise attack of such monsters, so he covered the range of the [Twisted Realm] to the maximum at the beginning, enveloping this hillside.
As soon as those flying monsters approached, they were directly distorted by him, and they could only scurry around like headless flies.
Then Lloyd unleashed his inspiration to the maximum, locking on a dozen heads at once, unleashing a physical warp to destroy them.
In fact, he still wants to lock on, destroy more in one go, or make the [Twisted Realm] cover a larger area.
It's just 300 points of [Inspiration], so that's already the limit......
For the first time, Lloyd felt that inspiration would not be enough.
Professor Toledo, on the other hand, was holding what looked like a rangefinder, looking into the distance.
With the guidance of the device in his hand, the mortar clamped to the ground did not need to be controlled by human hands, and adjusted the direction of the mortar on its own, and then fired.
"Hit the bull's-eye! Hahaha! My artillery skills are truly unparalleled in the world! No wonder the women in my hometown call me Little Steel Cannon! ”
Professor Toledo erupted in another burst of excited cheers.
Under the cover of several rounds of extremely accurate and extremely powerful firepower, the nearly 1,000 monsters that had gathered first were hit head-on and blown to pieces, so that even the monster scientists could not distinguish them.
Don't look at the small size of this shell, but the power of the explosion is not lost to the large-caliber heavy artillery on the earth, and the explosion is very enjoyable.
And it can also be covered with extraordinary power, further enhancing its power, and under the control and guidance of Professor Toledo, the accuracy is extremely high, and every shot can land in the area with the densest concentration of monsters.
So just a small-scale mortar position composed of four people blew up the monsters behind them that were still gathering, and they had to fall into a temporary stagnation, not daring to continue to get closer.
"Professor? Why don't you continue? ”
After reloading another shell, Lloyd asked impatiently.
Professor Toledo hurriedly changed into a pair of special binoculars, observed the movement of the monster, and then replied scoldingly:
"The range is not enough...... These cowards are afraid to come closer! Damn, I knew I should have made the cannon bigger......
Wait a minute! They're changing direction to bypass our positions, and they're spreading out of formation, no longer so densely packed together. ”
When Lloyd heard this, he couldn't help frowning,
"Sure enough, there is a witch in command, ordinary monsters can't be so smart."
Another honor student also said eagerly:
"This is trouble, there are only four of us, we can't cover too wide a distance, and they will bypass us!"
And Professor Toledo has another piece of bad news:
"Not good! They got smart again and began to approach us in small batches. ”
"This ...... Are there enough shells for us? ”
Another honor student asked in a whisper.
Professor Toledo frowned and asked:
"Cannonballs are definitely enough, but what about your spiritual power?"
"This ...... I can drink medicine. ”
The honor student said, and hurriedly poured tons of potions into his mouth, and another honor student also concocted the same method.
If you want to make the cannonball exert the same power and range as before, you can inject a lot of spiritual power into it, and the first few rounds have already consumed most of their spiritual power.
Lloyd's side could hold on a little longer, but it couldn't hold on forever.
What's more, he had dealt with the hundreds of flying monsters by himself before, and the consumption was also very large......
On the other hand, the enemy's side, after taking a dull stick at the beginning, adjusted so quickly, is obviously extremely cunning and difficult, and at the same time occupies an absolute numerical advantage and has plenty of room for error.
And Lloyd, on his side, has a headache how to stop those monsters who are bypassing......
Professor Toledo was quite calm, and hurriedly said:
"Don't panic, don't panic, the situation is not too bad, the academy should send a medical team to support us soon, we just need to stick to this direction!"
It's all this time, what's the use of sending a medical team? Collect the body?
Lloyd couldn't help but scold.
