2062 Blocking on the city wall (1)
On the dilapidated city wall, corpses were already strewn all over the ground. After many years of accumulation, a thick layer of blood had already been formed.
...As the battle continued, soldiers continued to drag the monsters ‘corpses away with hooks and throw them into the black holes at the edge of the city wall.
The main purpose of this was to prevent the ground from being too messy, which would affect the soldiers fighting.
At the same time, various materials could be collected from the monster’s corpse. For example, the outer skin that was as hard as iron could be used to make a pretty good armor.
Even Tang Zhen’s armor used this monster’s skin as the main material and strengthened the protection at the vital areas.
During the battle, the ground had become sticky due to being soaked in blood and seawater, causing the boots and pants of the guards to be covered with blood.
An indescribable stench drilled into his nostrils, making him feel extremely nauseated.
However, in the face of the enemy, no one cared about this, because the ferocious monsters were climbing up the Rocky beach under the city wall in front of them.
The soldiers ‘voices were already hoarse from shouting. They opened their mouths and let out silent roars. At the same time, they waved the long Spears in their hands, stabbing and slashing at the monsters.
These monsters were either covered in crude fish bone Shell Armor or had no protection at all.
However, the black scales on their bodies were as hard as metal. Unless they attacked with all their might, it was impossible to cut through the scales of the monsters with one strike.
The problem was that it was a taboo to use up all one’s strength in a fight, because it would cause one to have no energy left to Dodge, and it would also consume a lot of physical strength.
The soldiers obviously knew this, so they didn’t attack in a group. Instead, they cooperated with each other and fought in batches.
After these soldiers defended for a period of time, another group of soldiers who were ready would rush forward and replace the exhausted soldiers.
At the back were the reserve team. When someone fell and could not participate in the battle, the reserve team members would fill the vacancy and maintain the completeness of the direction.
Every 100 meters or so, there were tall buildings that looked like beacon towers.
On each of the high platforms, there was a huge and strange device, which was operated by several soldiers at the same time.
On the surface of these huge pieces of equipment, there were rings of runic magic circles flashing, as if they were boiling, and smoke and steam were constantly rising.
In front of the equipment, there were tubes similar to machine guns, which shot sharp arrows at the bottom of the city wall.
These half-foot long special arrows were extremely sharp and could fly up to 300 meters, shooting down the sea monsters that rushed ashore.
However, these devices could not be launched continuously. Every ten minutes or so, they had to rest for a period of time.
Every time this happened, the soldiers would replenish the God’s stones that had been used up, and then the equipment would be like a boiling pot, with billowing steam rising.
The moment Tang Zhen climbed up the city wall. Coincidentally, a group of soldiers had retreated and were lying on the ground.
Almost all of these soldiers were injured, and there was a large gap in the long line because of the losses.
substitute soldiers, quickly fill up the positions!
An officer on the tower shouted, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was shot by a Fishbone spear thrown from below the wall.
The officer’s body slanted and he fell from the tower. He was then lifted up in a flurry and sent to the bottom of the city wall for treatment.
After the officer fell, someone quickly took his place and continued to command the battle on the city wall.
Tang Zhen had just climbed up the city wall when he pushed the wheelchair and joined the line of substitutes, waiting for the next shift.
In this chaotic battlefield, no one cared if you were a rookie or a veteran. If you were unlucky enough to die, you could only blame your own bad luck.
Tang Zhen noticed that over a dozen newcomers like him had also been directly sent to the top of the city wall and joined the reserve team.
Their faces were filled with confusion and panic. It was obvious that they had not realized that they would directly step into the bloody and cruel battlefield!
The battle was still ongoing. They were less than ten meters away from Tang Zhen’s position. One could clearly see the bloody scene through the human wall.
In the tense and oppressive atmosphere, a dull drum sound was suddenly heard. Then, the soldiers who were waiting immediately started to move forward like machines after hearing the sound.
When the second drum beat sounded, the soldiers who were fighting at the front were ready to retreat.
When the third drum beat sounded, the soldiers who were fighting at the front suddenly retreated, and the soldiers who took over the fight rushed forward and continued to fight with the monsters.
There were a couple of monsters in front of Tang Zhen. They were brandishing strange-looking weapons as they took advantage of the moment when they changed their defenses to charge over.
However, as soon as these monsters took a step forward, their heads flew up into the sky, and their cold, smooth, headless bodies collapsed to the ground.
While the other soldiers were still fighting, the area in front of Tang Zhen had already been cleared. There was no longer a monster’s figure.
Seeing this, the soldiers around them were not only worried about the terrain, but this was also a crucial moment of life and death. The slightest negligence could cost them their lives, so no one dared to be distracted.
After Tang Zhen killed the monster with a single slash, he completely ignored the surprised gazes of the others. He took a step forward and directly rushed to the edge of the city wall.
He had already made up his mind to accumulate the most Battle Points in the shortest time possible and then head to the temple to see what secrets were hidden there.
However, one thing was certain. The strength of the gods who had built countless divine kingdoms was definitely far beyond Tang Zhen’s.
Therefore, Tang Zhen would definitely not act rashly before he figured out the specific situation to avoid causing trouble.
The closer he got to the last step, the more cautious he had to be. Therefore, he had made up his mind that Shan Shuang had to follow the rules here and achieve his goal step by step.
Whether it was to exchange for various rewards or to obtain the sealed memory fragments, they all required sufficient battle credits, so this was the most important step.
In reality, Tang Zhen did not even need to use his full strength to fight against such a monster. It was completely like chopping melons and vegetables.
Due to Tang Zhen’s existence, the pressure on the soldiers around him had been greatly reduced. Their eyes were filled with gratitude as they looked at him.
Although the more enemies one killed on the battlefield, the more battle merits one would obtain, it also meant that one could be killed by the enemy at any time.
If he could kill his enemies calmly and ensure his own safety, that would naturally be the best.
Tang Zhen’s head rolled on the ground as he killed. Those monsters also discovered that it was extremely difficult to attack him here. They began to continuously throw bone Spears and stones in an attempt to kill him.
After forming a protective barrier and blocking those attacks, Tang Zhen glanced at the long wooden box beside him and extended his hand to grab it.
There were more than ten war bows and bundles of arrows in the box. There were probably more than ten thousand arrows in total.
The wooden box seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope as it flew in front of Tang Zhen. Then, he grabbed a longbow and an arrow.
His right hand was like a Phantom, constantly drawing arrows and shooting them. The arrows never left the eye sockets of the monsters.
The corpses of the monsters under the city wall fell to the ground. The arrows pierced through their heads, killing them directly.
Tang Zhen had already noticed earlier that not many people on the city wall used bows and arrows.
First, it was because when fighting monsters, it was basically close combat, and bows and arrows were not useful at all.
Secondly, the monster’s body was covered in scales. Unless the vital parts were shot, it was impossible to effectively kill the monster.
It was placed on the city wall for the convenience of the soldiers, but no one cared.
At this moment, Tang Zhen’s accuracy and killing speed caused those soldiers to be dumbstruck. The way they looked at him was as though they were looking at a terrifying monster.
