Chapter 14: The Third Wave of Sieges
Ling Hongyu's talisman was carved by a monk in the early stage of the Broken Body Realm, and the explosion seemed sharp, but it didn't have much attack power. The detonating talisman is only meant to attract most of the Krakens.
The real killer weapon is the silver gun in his hand.
Ling Hongyu controlled the silver spear and turned into hundreds of sharp spears, killing the stunned demon beast.
Dong Hai was able to become the captain of the advance team, of course, he had some insight. He knew that the explosion just now and the silver gun were all supported by someone.
In the blink of an eye, the five or six eighth-level demon beasts in front of him were killed by the gun. He immediately gave the order to retreat.
Mainly Dong Hai and a few monks in the late stage of the spiritual transformation, the remaining twenty or so advance team members slowly retreated with the silver spear while blocking the approach of the demon beast.
At the same time, there was a roar from the Kraken army, and a huge Kraken volleyed into the air, trying to chase down several people.
"It turned out to be a demon soldier-level kraken, but I didn't expect that there was a hidden hand in the kraken army. Li Haibo said in a heavy tone, and the people around him did the same.
"I've always been a rudimentary Kraken, so there's nothing to be afraid of. A disdainful voice came, and Ling Hongyu controlled the silver spear to stop the kraken.
The silver spear turned into a spear shadow in the sky to prevent the demon soldier-level kraken from approaching, and Dong Hai and the others took the opportunity to break through.
The battle in the air even affected the Kraken army below. The shadow of the spear formed by the silver spear collided with the demon soldier-level kraken, causing thousands of krakens to die.
Li Haibo and the others on the city tower looked at Ling Hongyu with a change in their eyes. They could be sure that the man who was wielding the silver spear must be a spirit infant monk.
Many people peeked at Haotian, and they heard the conversation between the two just now. Before Ling Hongyu made a move, he discussed with him who would save the advance team.
From this, it is not difficult to deduce that this young man who seems to be a plain weapon is also a spiritual infant monk.
Deputy Commander Zhang is the same as all this, not swallowing his own saliva. Unknowingly, he had offended a Soul Infant Ancestor-level monk.
By the time he noticed it, his back and neck were cold.
But he was also speechless, you said that you are a good ancestor in the infancy stage, why did you appear on the city wall without anything, and you said to yourself that you were a mercenary.
The three major families did invite a lot of monks in the infant stage, but these people were not so much mercenaries as people who came to help in the defense.
Except for the infant monks who guarded the city gates, the rest of the monks were arranged to rest in the city. After all, on the first day of the Kraken attack on the city, it was impossible to dispatch demon-level demon beasts.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that because of the intervention of the Sea Clan, things would change so much.
"Brother Ling, be careful. There is more than one demon beast on the other side. Haotian frowned, and he felt that within the range of the gentleman, there were suddenly several more powerful aura fluctuations.
Sure enough, it fell with his voice. Two more demon beasts appeared and began to attack the silver spear.
Ling Hongyu moved his hands, and the attack speed of the silver spear became faster and faster, enveloping the three demon soldier-level kraken, creating a precious opportunity for the advance team and others to evacuate.
Dong Hai and the others raised their monks to the limit, and took out all kinds of precious magic weapons in their hands to use them to fight against the krakens blocking them.
After more than a dozen breaths, the advance team, led by Dong Hai, successfully broke out of the encirclement. They did not hesitate and galloped towards Linhai City as fast as they could.
Ling Hongyu controlled the silver spear to fight and retreat, and finally the silver spear turned into a meteor and returned to his hands.
The Kraken, who has no opponent, can only roar angrily to the sky to vent his anger.
......
The faces of Li Haibo and the others were very heavy. Because of the three advance teams that were dispatched, less than one-fifth of the eleven people returned.
The advance team sniped any of the Mist Demon this time, and it can be said that they failed miserably. Of the nearly 100 water mist demons, only more than 30 were killed. Not even half. As for the mink in charge of guarding, only five or six died.
Such a big sacrifice, in exchange for such a small gain, how can everyone's faces look good.
~Whew~, the roar of the ichthyosaur beast was heard again, and the second wave of the siege of the Siren attack on the city came to an end. After some statistics, everyone's faces were even more gloomy than just now.
Including the city guards, there were more than 5,000 dead and wounded on the side of Linhai City, but less than 10,000 krakens were killed. It seems that the city guards have the upper hand, but it is not really.
As the defender of the city, relying on such a geography, they couldn't even stop the demon beasts, and even they rushed to the city wall and caused such a lot of damage. It's a shame.
What's even more hateful is that they were calculated by the Kraken one after another. There were many casualties in the advance team, and if this matter spread to the three major families, it would not be a good thing for Li Haibo.
Although he was not sacked from his post, he was condemned among his clan, and the future was worrying.
"Go down and rest first, and I'll let you know if there's anything happening. Looking at the pale members of the advance team, Li Haibo sighed and said.
Dong Hai and the others were taken down to rest, and the battle just now had already exhausted the aura in his body. If the rescue is not timely, they will not be able to come back alive.
"Thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, these brothers wouldn't be able to come back. Li Haibo said to Haotian and the others, with a sense of gratitude in his eyes.
Haotian and the others just nodded faintly, but their glasses stared at the slowly retreating army of krakens.
Everyone knows that this is just the calm before the rainstorm and that the real battle has not yet begun.
"Guys, please go to the city and rest. We'll take care of the rest. Li Haibo hesitated again and again and said what he thought.
"You don't have to worry about us, just concentrate on your business. Haotian said with an indifferent face. Although he promised to be a mercenary of the Han family, there was no one to command him.
Li Haibo wanted to continue to persuade, but Han Wentian shook his head at him. In desperation, he shut up and didn't say much. Instead, arrange for people to check the situation on the city walls.
What followed was a long wait, waiting for the siege to continue.
But more than an hour later, the third wave of the Kraken's siege did not begin. The walls of Linhai Castle became noisy again. Li Haibo gave orders many times before he stopped the noise.
After another two hours, the sky gradually became dark. Just when everyone thought that the Kraken would not continue to attack the city today, they heard the roar of the ichthyosaurus.
"Everyone is on alert, the third wave of the Kraken army is about to begin. Li Haibo's voice resounded throughout Linhai City. The mercenaries and city guards began to prepare.
The third wave of attacks was the same as the previous two, with the Dire Turtle Guardian Sea Serpent launching a ranged attack, and the Poison Frog taking advantage of the opportunity to keep getting closer to the walls.
Compared to the previous two times, this attack seemed a bit unremarkable.
Many people noticed this and began to relax. But Haotian didn't think so, and it was impossible for such a third wave of attacks to be so calm.
"Be careful, everyone, something is wrong. After the first two sieges, Li Haibo also became more cautious.
After the ranged attack, the poison frogs took advantage of them and began to climb the walls. The situation became very critical, and Li Haibo immediately ordered the mercenaries to attack the poisonous frogs under the city walls. In order to prevent the poisonous frog from climbing the city wall again, he also mobilized a part of the city guard to join the battle.
