2588 The city is about to be broken (1)
Walking on the barren land, the atmosphere of despair became more and more intense, as if there was no more hope in the world.
Life was completely gone, and death was the eternal theme.
Along the way of the monster army, countless bones and remains were abandoned. The villages that were well-known by chickens and dogs were directly razed to the ground.
In the middle of the scorched earth, a giant soldier God as tall as a mountain was slowly moving forward.
When the giant foot landed on the ground, it made a dull sound. Compared to the speed of the wind in the previous battle, the giant soldier God’s steps were obviously heavy.
Only Tang Zhen knew that the giant soldier God’s condition was getting worse and worse. If someone else were to control it, the giant soldier God would not be able to move at all.
Even Tang Zhen himself had to be extremely careful, as if he was walking on thin ice.
“According to the map, the distance between the two cities is not far. After crossing the mountain in front, we should be able to reach the city surrounded by monsters.
In the process of controlling it, Tang Zhen sensed the hazy consciousness of the giant divine weapon and understood its simple thoughts.
A weapon of war like this should fall on the battlefield with a bang. This was also the ideal destination in the heart of the giant soldier gods.
Being paralyzed in a nameless place, becoming a pile of scrap metal that could no longer be activated, this was the real tragedy.
After estimating the time and distance, Tang Zhen continued to advance. After crossing the mountain range in front, he finally saw the city marked on the map.
……
Countless monsters surrounded the city, and the surrounding plants had been gnawed away, leaving only a piece of charred land.
Because of the large number of monsters, the demonic Qi soared into the sky, and the smoke made the scene even more evil.
The sky above the city was covered by thick dark clouds, and there was no sunlight at all. The black mist was like cotton, constantly falling into the city.
This was one of the demonic creatures ‘means of attack. When they gathered together, the demonic Qi could spontaneously gather into a cloud of demonic Qi.
When the demonic clouds had accumulated to a certain density, they could condense into floccules and continuously scatter in the areas where living beings gathered.
Under the influence of the demonic Qi, the usually friendly neighbors could suddenly turn into ferocious monsters under unexpected circumstances.
In fact, during this period of time, there would be residents who would turn into monsters from time to time, and then cause tragic bloodshed.
Not only did the soldiers have to fight the monsters outside the city, but they also had to clear out the monsters inside the city. It was already a miracle that they were able to hold on until now without falling.
In addition to the defending Army, there were also a large number of native cultivators and loucheng cultivators who participated in the battle. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to hold on for so long.
However, as time passed, the situation became more and more unfavorable.
The soldiers and soldiers knew that if there were no more reinforcements, the city would fall sooner or later.
But now, there were monsters everywhere, and everyone was busy with their own affairs, so how could they send reinforcements?
Although he knew that the chances were slim, he still held onto a glimmer of hope and hoped for a miracle to happen.
On the broken city wall, the city guards stared at the monsters below, their faces covered in blood and dust were numb.
He couldn’t remember how long he had been on the city wall, but he knew that he had never left since the monsters started attacking the city.
The crazed monsters attacked again and again, and the city guards fought back with all their might. Blood flowed like a river from the top and bottom of the city walls.
The soldiers guarding the city were constantly being replenished. The first batch of soldiers had all died long ago.
In addition to the endless monsters, the soldiers and people guarding the city also had to endure the torture of hunger and illness. Because of the lack of water and food, sometimes they could only eat one meal a day.
Because of the infection of the demonic Qi, the wounds could not heal, and many injured people died because of it.
As for sleeping and resting, there was no fixed time at all. Whenever the monsters ‘attacks slowed down, they would quickly find time to sleep.
The soldiers were extremely tired. As soon as they closed their eyes, they would immediately snore like thunder.
Some of the soldiers did not wake up because they had exhausted the last of their strength and died quietly in their sleep.
the monsters are attacking the city again! Everyone, get up!
The general in tattered armor walked over and shouted in a hoarse voice. Perhaps it was because he was too tired, his tall body had long become hunched.
Few responded, because these soldiers were also exhausted and did not even bother to say a word.
They staggered to the edge of the city wall and looked at the monsters swarming towards them. There was no expression on their tired and numb faces.
The monsters were coming like a tide. They would climb up the mottled walls and then find an opportunity to jump onto the top of the city wall.
What the soldiers had to do was to defend the city wall with their lives and not let the monsters enter the city.
What was puzzling was that the monsters ‘attack power was not very strong. They always sent some cannon fodder-like monsters to join the battle in order to consume the strength of the defenders.
The corpses of the monsters would be dragged back to the monster Camp and thrown into the fire as food.
This was actually the monsters ‘scheme. They used this method to eliminate the low-level monsters while keeping the elite monsters.
This meant that with the power of the monsters, they could have broken into the city a long time ago, but they did not do so.
When the time was right, the elite monsters would launch an attack and take down the city in one fell swoop.
The battle was about to begin, and the soldiers and civilians on the city wall were ready. The entire process was mechanical and numb.
An old soldier nocked the crossbow in his hand. It used to be a very simple task, but now it took him three tries to complete it.
Sighing in his heart, he knew that he couldn’t hold on for long, but he didn’t dare to fall easily.
Because his family was still in the city, they had no power to fight back against the ferocious monsters.
The only thing the veteran could do was to kill as many monsters as possible and hold on until the moment of hope came.
“Giggle giggle.”
As soon as he installed the arrow, the veteran heard a strange sound coming from his side. It seemed to be coming from the throat, with suppressed pain and madness.
“Not good!”
With this thought in mind, the veteran pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed in the direction of the sound.
The veteran’s dagger had been polished on the city wall’s stones, so it was always sharp enough. The knife easily pierced into the body of the soldier next to him.
At that moment, he saw the soldier’s twisted face, which looked like a ferocious demon.
His mouth was full of fangs, and he was about to launch a sneak attack, but the seasoned soldier discovered the abnormality in advance.
Fortunately, the veteran was experienced. Otherwise, his neck would have been bitten off, and no one could save his life in a situation where his vital parts were injured.
hurry up and throw it down! This guy has become a monster!
The veteran roared, and the soldiers beside him also came to their senses. They swarmed forward and pushed the mutated soldiers off the city wall.
The demonized soldiers fell off the city wall and were immediately devoured by the monsters that swarmed up. At the same time, countless monsters climbed up the city wall. The cruel battle to defend the city had officially begun.
Similar battles had happened many times, and the soldiers were used to it. All they could do now was to fight back the monsters that climbed up.
However, the battle this time was clearly different from the past.
The soldiers and soldiers soon realized that the monsters ‘attack was unusually fierce. Wave after wave of monsters kept coming.
At the same time, there were also monsters that threw rocks. If one was not careful, they would be hit. If one was unlucky, they would die immediately.
There was no one to replace the soldiers guarding the city. From time to time, some of them would fall to the ground in exhaustion, and no matter how the officer kicked and roared, they could not stand up.
An ominous feeling rose in the hearts of the soldiers and people defending the city. Perhaps today was the day the city would fall.
It did not take long for monsters to rush up the city wall. In the process of barging in, soldiers fell under the sharp claws of the monsters.
Every time this happened, cultivators would rush up and surround the monsters.
The number of cultivators was limited, but the number of monsters climbing the city wall was increasing. The city wall was about to fall.
At this critical moment, the monsters outside the city were suddenly ambushed. Countless boulders fell from the sky, smashing the monsters into meat paste.
