Chapter 848: A Staircase Built by Death
"Boom!"
Near the head of the city, a shocking pillar of fire rose again.
The Central Army, which had just been adjusted on the city walls, was again overturned by the flame blaster in the same way.
...
This is not the first time that this pillar of fire has appeared, apparently Ifrit has regained his strength, and in a very short time there was another "nuclear explosion".
Probably because of the lack of rest time, this time the power is slightly worse than the first time.
At the same time, with the first experience, the Central Army's response has also become proficient.
The flame-swept walls suffered heavy casualties, but as soon as the heat subsided, another wave of crossbow spells rose to the top, and the long-range suppression of the infected was restored.
Although Ifrit's abilities have helped the infected delay for a while, the neighboring cities will not stop attacking for any reason, and the damage to the infected has not slowed down significantly.
At the same time, the ranged troops on the right side of the city quickly adjusted their weapons, and a new round of firepower instantly covered the army of infected people under the nearby city.
.....
"Ah!!!h
Screams and screams followed, and the closer you got to the city walls, the greater the casualties of the infected, and a large number of figures fell one by one like ears of wheat, and the bloody and tragic images made it unbearable to look at directly.
Summer Breeze's containment didn't have much effect.
Seeing the ranged troops on the city walls directly ignore them, Xia Feng set his eyes on Frost Star.
"Froststar, can you do something, please."
Froststar had seen helplessness in Xia Feng's pupils, and the infected had believed in him all the way, but now that they were powerless in the face of tragic casualties, it must have been heartbreaking.
"I'll try!"
With that, Frost Star gripped a crystalline source stone and closed his eyes.
In the next second, a dark blue light bloomed under his feet, because the brewing source stone skill consumption was too huge, and the source stone held in the hand by the frost star instantly lost its original luster.
The moment Frost Star opened his eyes, the soldiers on the city wall subconsciously shuddered.
At this moment, they could no longer ignore the squad on the flank, and the blue light lit up in the battlefield was like a shining North Star.
"Bang!"
With Froststar's spell, a huge icicle instantly condensed in the air.
The icicles are at least 10 meters in diameter, with one end sticking straight into the ground, and the other end of the ice is constantly generating and crashing towards the city wall 100 meters away at a very high speed.
The dark blue light continued to bloom on Froststar's body, and even her pupils shone with blue light, treating the ice spell as a "treasure of the city", which had surpassed all the strength she had cast so far.
Like an ice spear thrown by a giant, in an instant, the icicle crossed most of the battlefield and slammed straight into the distant city wall.
"Boom!"
After the flames swept through, the city walls ushered in a terrifying sight.
With the violent impact, the stones cracked, the ice splintered, and the enormous force caused the entire moving city to vibrate violently.
Where the icicle hit directly, the crossbowmen and wizards were instantly smashed into pulp, and the bursting ice crystals were extremely sharp, shooting nearby soldiers to the ground.
All of a sudden, the whole city was in chaos.
.....
Frost Star did not inherit any ancient powers, and this perverted source stone technique was completely activated by the flesh with the source stone.
After performing this attack move beyond the limit, her face was so white that she was bloodless, her body was crooked, and her whole person was already a little unstable.
The Snow Monster No. 1 next to her immediately held her up.
"Sister Froststar!"
"It's fine."
Froststar's lips were pale, and it seemed that she would not be able to activate the Source Stone Technique again in a short period of time.
However, the central army on the city wall did not know the frost star, nor did they know the source stone technique, and this shocking ice system source stone technique successfully played a role in "containment".
In order to prevent similar icicles from crashing into the city, part of the fire of the city wall was shifted to the flank where Xia Feng's team was located.
Soon, a barrage of crossbow bolts and spells hit head-on.
...
Compared to the crowded and chaotic army of the infected, their squad is obviously more flexible, and if it is just contained, it is quite easy.
This kind of crossbow bolt and ultra-long-range spell did not pose a threat at all in their eyes, including the special forces under Silver Gray, which could perfectly deal with the long-range attacks of the city wall.
It's just that the slow summer breeze still found that this kind of containment is just a drop in the bucket. Go to Audiobook.com
It's been a while since the attack began, and as long as the city can't be completely stormed, the sacrifice of the infected is meaningless.
Looking at the tragic scene on the plains, Xia Feng could not know the exact number of casualties, which could be 50,000, maybe 100,000, or even more.
At this moment, the infected besieging the city are known as a million army, but if the stairs leading to the "tower" are really piled up with millions of corpses, then what is the purpose of the last person to climb the peak?
This is the last line of defense of the empire, as long as the empire does not collapse, the central army will defend the front to the death, and it is absolutely impossible to surrender.
The same is true on the side of the infected.
Eventually, everyone will die, and the infected will continue to swarm in, gradually using up most of their forces until the city is breached.
The Central Army will hold out until the weapons run out, the city gates are broken, and finally, fight the infected with their bodies.
....
It wasn't until this moment that Xia Feng finally had doubts about what he had always believed in.
Could this be the revolution that Tallulah wants to start?
This world has given birth to the Source Stone because of natural disasters, and because the Source Stone has given birth to the Infected, and because of the Infected, countless disputes and hatreds have been born.
Unconsciously, he seemed to have overlooked something important.
The person named Fire Feather Xia Feng is immersed in the game that belongs to him, and he should have the perspective of God, but the world in his eyes is getting narrower and narrower, and the whole person is gradually losing his rational judgment.
Exactly why Verin wanted to expel the infected, he still didn't know.
Was this revolt wrong from the start?
Now, he has nowhere to find the answer.
Looking at the tragic scenes unfolding in front of him, Xia Feng felt that the voice in his ears had disappeared.
In a trance, an inexplicable thought flashed through my mind.
....
If time were to start over, would he change his choice?
And after the change, what kind of outcome will be derived?
....
....
"Boom, boom!"
There was a dull loud bang behind the plain, and soon the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly.
It feels like a behemoth is approaching.
On the plain, a dull loud noise woke Xia Feng out of his trance, and when he saw his companions all staring behind him, he finally realized something.
Then, he turned around in a daze.
....
At the end of the horizon, a huge steel fortress galloped through the wilderness with skyrocketing smoke and dust.
There is no doubt that this is a mobile city!
According to the prior investigation, Xia Feng was very sure that there were no more cities with the ability to move near Lentinium, and the three in front of him were all.
So, who is galloping towards them now?
A moment later, as the outline of the moving city became clearer, a name came to Xia Feng's mind.
Everyone in Black Feather apparently recognized the city as well
"Brother Feng, this is not ....."
"It's ....."
"Yes, this is indeed ......"
At this moment, this huge mobile city that is speeding towards Lentinium from the south is the same city that moved north two months ago to escape the natural disaster, Notting City.
At this moment, all the forces that the empire can mobilize have been concentrated here, and there is no so-called support at all.
Then, there is only one possibility for the forces that are "driving" Notting City at this moment.
.....
The billowing smoke and dust rising from the distant horizon broke into view, and the huge roar made everyone on the main battlefield look sideways, and even the central army on the city wall stopped shooting because of this change.
Xia Feng stared blankly at the approaching "Notting City".
The figure he had vowed to regain his hometown for was gradually emerging in his mind.
"Vina ......"
