2574 City mobiliation_1
The weapons and equipment of the Empire’s regular army were not something that the local forces could compare to. At the very least, they were better than the guards of Heaven’s Wall city.
They carried a large number of heavy weapons and never found it troublesome to travel.
In a normal Army operation, the auxiliary troops were several times more than the combat soldiers. Their task was to transport provisions and supplies, and their combat power could only be said to be average.
However, when the mutation occurred, these auxiliary troops also became extremely fierce, their combat strength far surpassing the regular army before the mutation.
The ballistae were not the only thing that had mutated. Heavy weapons such as catapults had also undergone incredible changes.
Normal catapults used ropes and heavy objects to throw cannonballs, so the shooting range was not very far.
However, the mutated trebuchets had an extremely long range and even more terrifying attack power.
The mutated catapults had also turned into monsters of flesh and blood. The auxiliary soldiers in charge of transportation had become one with the catapults.
From the drawings in the intelligence report, the trebuchets looked like deformed skeleton monsters, holding strange meatballs in their hands.
When it was fired, the catapult would make a strange sound and swing its arm to throw the meatball.
No one knew what kind of killing effect the meatball had, but it was definitely not something good. Once it hit one’s body, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In addition, there were also heavy-armored cavalrymen, who were riding warhorses that had also mutated. They were slowly advancing in a neat square formation.
The seemingly slow march was actually an accumulation of momentum. If they encountered an enemy, they would instantly turn into lightning and thunder.
However, against the Heaven’s Wall city, these heavy-armored cavalries with strong defense were of no use.
However, if it was used as a blockade line, it would definitely be an iron wall. Without paying a heavy price, it would be impossible to break through it.
As for the infantry and archers, they had also been strengthened, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they could fight against ten people alone.
In such a short time, the patrol team had only collected this much information, and they had risked their lives to obtain it.
In order to get this information, the runic airship was almost shot down by the cultivators of loucheng, and the whole process was extremely dangerous.
After gathering enough information, the runic airship left quickly. However, the information it brought back was enough to raise everyone’s vigilance.
The arrival of a new crisis caused the atmosphere in the Heaven’s Wall city to become tense again. Everyone felt a strong sense of urgency.
In a short period of time, there were two consecutive monster attacks. Although the Heaven’s Wall city won each time, they also paid a heavy price.
The death toll of the Heaven’s Wall city had already exceeded a thousand, and the supplies they had stored up had also been greatly consumed. If another large-scale battle were to occur, it was unknown if they would be able to withstand it.
War was all about consumption. At this time, the Heaven’s Wall city had already reached the end of its rope, and it was completely using all the strength of the city.
In the face of this life or death problem, even if they really couldn’t handle it, the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city had to clench their teeth and endure it.
A weak display would only make the enemy even crazier and more insatiable.
An incomparably greedy monster would never give you a chance to breathe. It would devour its prey until not even dregs were left.
The Heaven’s Wall city once again entered a state of war. Although the residents were extremely depressed, they had no choice.
With the sudden arrival of the catastrophe, it was not easy to survive. Since one wanted to live, one had to endure all kinds of torture.
Although it looked extremely painful, compared to those who were struggling on the line of death, the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city were much luckier.
At least they didn’t turn into monsters, and they didn’t lose their families. When monsters attacked, they could fight against them with a United will.
The Fortune within the misfortune was that there were nearly a thousand cultivators from the tower City joining the Heaven’s Wall city. This made Tang Zhen even more confident.
The combat power of the cultivators in the tower City far exceeded that of the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city. When the crisis came, they could definitely turn the tide.
Tang Zhen didn’t treat himself as the city Lord. Instead, he gave every cultivator in the city a chance to participate and let them participate in the defense work.
He announced to the cultivators, telling them to show off their abilities and come up with a solution to deal with this crisis.
Although the cultivators didn’t say anything about Tang Zhen’s attitude, they were very satisfied in their hearts.
Although Tang Zhen’s reputation was well known and he had taken over the Heaven’s Wall city, it did not mean that everyone would acknowledge his leadership.
You Jiu and Luo Fei acknowledged Tang Zhen, but that didn’t mean that the other cultivators agreed. Although they didn’t say it out loud, they definitely had their own thoughts.
In order to conquer these rebellious cultivators, one had to have a stunning performance that made people feel that they were far inferior.
Some things needed to wait for an opportunity. Tang Zhen wasn’t in a hurry. He even wished that more outstanding cultivators would appear to help him share the pressure.
As for the cultivators who had just arrived in loucheng, they were very calm and didn’t seem to be worried about the monsters at all.
To these cultivators, whether the Heaven’s Wall city could be defended or not didn’t have much of an impact on them.
If the monsters destroyed the Heaven’s Wall city, the cultivators in the building would lose some servants at most, but they would have a place to kill monsters at will.
The cultivators of loucheng in the fifth battle area had the same problem as the cultivators in other loucheng, which was that they didn’t take the natives seriously.
In this aspect, Tang Zhen appeared to be very different.
Different from the other cultivators, Tang Zhen valued the potential of the natives more. As long as they were given enough opportunities, they might bring unexpected surprises.
It would take some time for the monster army to attack. Tang Zhen was prepared to use this time to cultivate another batch of war beasts.
If they continued to use their air superiority to attack the monsters from above, it might even affect the outcome of the entire war.
The Black Dragon originally thought that it had escaped a calamity, but it did not expect to be targeted by Tang Zhen again. It could only curse the despicable humans in its heart while working hard to reproduce.
Tang Zhen, Luo Fei, and the others started to manufacture firearms. They wanted to try their best to produce a batch of weapons before the monster army arrived.
Through this defensive battle, the power of firearms had been proven. Especially to ordinary residents, it was a godly weapon to kill monsters.
They didn’t need to aim at all. All they needed to do was to aim at the monster below and pull the trigger.
The densely packed monsters would take the initiative to hit the bullets and then lose their lives in confusion.
After confirming the power of firearms, the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city urgently needed a large number of firearms to fight against more and more monsters.
The residents of the Heaven’s Wall city quickly took action, repairing the areas that had been damaged by the war and moving all kinds of weapons that were needed for defense. They wanted to bring every stone to the battlefield.
The weapons used in the previous battle had all been recovered and repaired. Because the project was too large, all the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city had been mobilized.
Men, women, old, and young, everyone came to the streets and busied themselves.
