Chapter 7 The Beast Tide is Coming
A few days later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the observation room of the arrow tower, Lin Luo looked at the vast sea of trees in the distance, and a slightly strange feeling rose in his heart: in his previous world, he had never seen such a large area of primeval jungle, and the black pressure could not see the edge. However, it seems that the sea of trees today is a little too quiet.
Knock knock, a footstep came up, interrupting Lin Luo's thoughts.
When Lin Luo looked back, he saw Xu Da climb up from the ladder with a happy face, and said with his fists clenched: "Young master, arrows, fire oil, etc. have all arrived, and the old servant has come to restore his life!"
Now Xu Da is no longer in the hard labor camp, he is dressed neatly in a sergeant's clothes, a long beard hangs down on his chest, but his stomach is sticking out, but he has a bit of the momentum of a veteran.
A few days ago, Lin Luo was ordered to select sergeants to form his own arrow tower guard, and Lin Luo hurriedly asked Captain Chen Ji of the Shenji Battalion to fish Xu Da out of the hard labor camp and become his own herald soldier.
Lin Luo saw that Xu Da was so stretched straight that he looked like a capable soldier, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't call me young master in this army in the future, and you can't call yourself an old servant." ”
Xu Da clenched his fists and responded: "Yes, young master!
Lin Luo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Pass the order, and after all the arrows and materials are replenished, they will take their posts and start routine exercises." ”
In the past few days, Lin Luo has repeatedly studied the "Commentary on the Scripture of Architecture", and with the help of Boundary Building, he has a little more understanding of Architecture. This architectural structure can be directly controlled with telekinesis. With the help of boundary building, Lin Luo alone can control the operation of the entire arrow tower, but this consumes a lot of mental power.
Lin Luo didn't dare to expose his special ability of "building boundaries" at all, so he had conducted strict training for the selected sergeants in the past few days, so that everyone could skillfully control the machine they were responsible for.
Just as he was about to start the exercise, a croaking sound came from the sea of trees, and I saw a group of birds fluttering up from the sea of trees and flying away, as if a dark cloud had risen and then dissipated.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several cloud-piercing arrows streaked across the sky, emitting a sharp and piercing whistling sound.
Stamped, four knights galloped out from the edge of the sea of trees, and the military uniform should be the scout of this city.
Several people rode towards the Divine Axe barrier, and at the same time, they kept throwing their hands and shooting the cloud-piercing arrow in their hands.
Although Lin Luo knew that there must be an emergency, he didn't know what it meant?
A middle-aged sergeant beside him, who was in charge of controlling the arrows, suddenly trembled and exclaimed, "The beast, the beast has collapsed!"
A tidal rumble approached from the sea of trees, gradually converging into a deafening roar, and a black torrent poured out of the sea of trees!
All kinds of strange monsters of all sizes, sizes that Lin Luo couldn't name, rushed out of the sea of trees in dense numbers, followed behind the four knights, and ran wildly along the passage of the canyon towards the Divine Axe barrier!
A knight's horse was suddenly startled, raised his front hooves and threw off the knight on his body, and the crazy demon beast swarmed up, trampling, gnawing, and tearing, and the knight drowned under the torrent of demon beasts without snorting.
The other three didn't even look back, they just rode forward desperately, but the mad dog-like demon beast that rushed in front of them was extremely fast, and the distance between the beast group and the three knights quickly narrowed.
The guards on the Divine Axe barrier heard the warning of the Cloud Piercing Arrow, and they had already quickly deployed their defenses. A small basket cable car was also put down, but the three knights were too late to make it.
"Archer, ten on the left, five on the front and left, listen to the order! Tilt three points, prepare!" Lin Luo calmly commanded.
All the sergeants who operated the machine were stunned for a moment, and immediately hurriedly turned on various switches and adjusted the angle of the arrow machine.
Lin Luo was engrossed in observing the speed of the knights, and seeing that the three knights were still ten arrows away from the obelisk arrow tower where Lin Luo was, Lin Luo ordered: "Shoot! Shoot!"
Puff puff!
A rain of arrows spilled out, grazing the heads of the three knights and flying over, and one of the knights who fell quickly reacted and lay on his horse with his head bowed, otherwise he might have been shot off the horse on the spot.
The group of beasts behind was not so lucky, dozens of demon beasts in the lead were nailed to the ground on the spot, and many of the demon beasts running wildly behind also crashed into their companions who were nailed to death by arrows in front, and the front of the torrent of demon beasts was slightly messed up.
After a while, the three knights ran smoothly to the city and climbed onto the cable car. Several wrestlers on the Kobe barrier stirred desperately, the cable car slowly went up, and the three knights were finally out of danger.
The beasts continued to surge, and the arrows commanded by Lin Luo rained down, harvesting the lives of the demon beasts piece by piece. But the beasts didn't seem to care, they just ran towards the axe barrier one after another, and some of them even hit the heavy stone wall and died directly. Only a few demon beasts became interested in Lin Luo's arrow tower and wanted to attack the humans inside the arrow tower.
However, Lin Luo's arrow tower grows from the stone wall halfway up the mountainside, and the bottom is more than 20 zhang away from the ground. The stone walls are steep, and there is no grass or trees to pull, not even a monkey can climb up, let alone these four-legged monsters. More of the demon beasts' attention is still on the Divine Axe Barrier, but how can the Divine Axe Barrier be so easy to breach?
At this time, the general Zhou Renguang had already come to the city wall in person, and the three scouts were kneeling to report the military situation, leading one person: "This beast tide came very suddenly, and I found that the situation had changed in the sea of trees, so I rushed to return the letter, but I still broke two brothers." Thanks to the brothers on the arrow tower, we would not have been able to come back. ”
Zhou Ren raised his eyebrows, glanced at the arrow tower not far away, and said, "Well done, get up." Retire and rest first, and the broken brother will have a heavy pension. ”
"General Xie!"
Zhou Renguang leaned on the wall with his hand, looking at the dense beast tide in the canyon below, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Zhou Renguang has only been in this border city for six years, but he has encountered several sporadic demon beast attacks, but he has never experienced such a real beast tide, so he asked: "Teacher Nian, when was the last beast tide?"
The strategist beside him immediately said: "It has been ten years, eight months and thirteen days since then. Nian Lang seems to be old, but he is still quick and articulate.
"What level do you look at this beast tide?" Zhou Renguang asked again.
Nian Lang is the oldest person in this city, he has lived in this city since he was born, and he knows the beast tide of the sea of trees very well.
"The general is reassured. In the old man's opinion, this is a small tide. Hundreds of years of operation with a divine axe barrier is not enough to worry about!" Nian Lang said confidently.
Seeing that all kinds of small beasts were accumulating more and more, Zhou Renguang asked again: "How can these beasts be willing to retreat?"
Nian Lang sighed: "Without him, there is only killing! Kill until the blood flows like a river, and the corpses are all over the field, and these beasts are also frightened, and they will retreat!"
When Zhou Renguang heard this, he shouted in a deep voice: "Pass my order! Kill!"
The archers on the city wall were ordered, and they didn't need to aim, and they all fired their arrows. The archers were divided into three groups and took turns shooting downward, and the arrows were like a black rain curtain, continuously sprinkling towards the hordes of demon beasts under the city.
The demon beasts suffered heavy casualties, but they did not flinch in the slightest, some grabbed and gnawed against the barrier of the divine axe, and some jumped up with all their might, but it had no effect.
Seeing that a thick layer of demon beast bones was gradually piled up in front of the divine axe barrier.
Lin Luo had never experienced such a tragic formation on the spot, and he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and he felt his heart clenched, but he also commanded the arrow tower to join in this one-sided killing.
Suddenly!
Hundreds of gray shadows burst out of the herd, and after running on the hill of beast corpses for a while, they jumped hard, and hung firmly on the city wall.
I saw that these demon beasts were slightly different from the others, their bodies were as thin as wolves, but their limbs were unusually thick and developed, and they had unusually sharp claws.
These gray demon beasts actually grabbed the city wall with their sharp claws, and climbed upwards at a very fast speed like geckos.
The soldiers on the city wall hurriedly fired arrows downward, these monsters were very flexible, shrinking their bodies and sticking to the wall, or jumping and panning on the wall slightly, and the number of arrows falling was not much.
Soon, these monsters had climbed to a height of nearly a third of the city wall.
The soldiers were a little panicked when they saw this, and at this speed, it wouldn't be long before these demon beasts would be able to reach the city wall.
Lin Luo saw it from afar, and said in his heart that this demon beast was so powerful that it could actually climb the wall. However, Lin Luo was not afraid that this demon beast would target his own arrow tower, the lookout window of the arrow tower was only one foot square, although these demon beasts could climb their own arrow tower, but they couldn't get in at all. But the city wall is different, if these demon beasts climb the wall, the guards will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the entire border city will also be in danger!
