Chapter 454: Beast Tide Battle (4)
Fengyun City is a hundred miles in circumference, and the city wall that Wang Hong's pair of more than 20 Jindan monks are responsible for guarding is forty miles long, and on such a long section of the city wall, each Jindan monk has to guard an average of two miles.
Although in the previous month, Wang Hong and hundreds of other Jindan monks united with tens of thousands of foundation building monks stationed on the city wall to kill nearly a million demon beasts, but there was no joy on the faces of many monks in Fengyun City.
Because within this month, there were millions of demon beast armies gathered in the sea area several miles away from Fengyun City, at this time, outside Fengyun City, there were more than two million low-level demon beasts gathered, there were thousands of demon beasts in the demon pill stage, and there were as many as twenty demon beasts in the transformation stage.
Such a huge number of demon beasts made every monk in Fengyun Immortal City frightened, in order to be able to keep the immortal city, at this time, hundreds of thousands of low-level monks in Fengyun Immortal City also participated in the team defending the city.
Even the tens of millions of secular people living in the immortal city, many of them have joined the ranks of defending the city, holding secular weapons in their hands, scattered all over the city wall.
At this time, Wang Hong stood on a battlement not far from the east city gate, quietly sitting on the city wall with his eyes closed, somewhere near the southern end, but his divine consciousness was released dozens of miles away.
In the distance he was in charge of, there were hundreds of catapults and giant crossbows, and more than 10,000 mortals were waiting densely on the side.
Except for the seven or eight hundred Qi Refining Stage disciples, one hundred mid-to-late stage foundation building cultivators, and Zhao Di himself, there were no other monks, and these people were only commanding mortals or dealing with some accidents.
Because the monks can fly with weapons and are very good at maneuvering, most of the monks are organized into a team, and they are not fixed in a certain place, but are sent to where the situation is more tight.
At night, the city wall was sprinkled with a faint moonlight, and the refreshing night breeze was blowing slowly, and most of the mortals had already fallen asleep on the city wall with a thin quilt on their faces. Occasionally, some people are nervous or excited because the big war is imminent, and they can't sleep, so they get together in twos and threes, talking quietly.
Because of Wang Hong's special identity, there are no mortals close to him within a hundred zhang beside him.
Immortal masters like to be quiet and alone, like this, these mortals who were born in Fengyun Immortal City since they were children and are used to seeing immortal masters flying around also know some more or less
Looking at these worldly people, Wang Hong couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that there was no way for these worldly people to come to defend the city, after all, their ancestors had lived on this island for generations.
If the fairy city is breached, the monks in the fairy city can escape, but they have nowhere to escape, they can only die tragically under the claws and fangs of the demon beasts.
In order to survive the mortals in the city all arrived under the city wall to help defend the immortal city, because the number of demon beasts attacking Fengyun Immortal City this time was too much, although more than one million were killed successively, but the number of demon beasts outside the city was still amazing, not to mention that after fighting with the demon beasts for so long, the monks in the city also suffered as many as three or four percent casualties.
This made the already dangerous city wall even worse, in order to be able to defend Fengyun Immortal City, Lingfu Zhenren and other more than a dozen spirit infant monks, in desperation, also allowed the mortals in the city to participate in the team defending the city.
Looking at these mortals, with their simple and mellow faces, Wang Hong suddenly felt that he suddenly had an extra burden, to protect these people from the destruction of demon beasts, and to let them live.
Then he chuckled noncommittally, and tried to run his divine sense to the extreme, to see how far he could detect at most, within a hundred miles, eighty miles, and sixty miles, within a hundred miles, he could monitor it more clearly, and beyond a hundred miles, he could only barely have a vague sense
Wang Hong was very satisfied with this result, you must know that the average Jindan late stage monk can only detect seventy or eighty miles at most. Suddenly, Wang Hong rose into the air, floated above the city wall, and looked far away at the sea. Under the pale moonlight, the sea is dark and dark. His divine sense detected that in the sea area dozens of miles away, a large number of demon beasts were appearing, and the number of them and the violence of their breath were very terrifying.
"Get up, the first wave of demon beasts will arrive in less than half a year" Wang Hong's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the vicinity.
Suddenly there was a boil, and mortals and monks got up one after another, looking up at Wang Hong, who was high above. After a while, there were monks from the ten major sects one after another, using their spiritual power to transmit a sound like a bell, waking everyone up, prompting that the beast tide was coming.
"Tut~" A long horn sounded, resounding for thousands of miles, indicating that the demon beast was very close, and everyone must strictly guard their respective posts. These mortals had already practiced similar situations, and they were busy in a lively and chaotic manner, preparing the catapults and giant crossbows, and then standing quietly at their respective posts.
On the city wall, in a moment, countless torches were lit and countless moonstones were lit, illuminating the city wall as if it were day. The inspiring sound of bells and drums spread throughout the city walls. Everyone is solemn and ready to go, but everyone's mood is different. Some are nervous, some are excited, some are worried, some are afraid, some are serious, and some are laughing lightly
"Hmm, this drum and trumpet sound can be transmitted so far, it seems that it is not an ordinary thing, it should be a magic weapon specially refined by the Outer Sea Business Alliance for this purpose. Wang Hong looked at the people with different expressions at his feet, and thought of it, and at the same time, his divine sense was also carefully probing into the distance.
With the faint moonlight, Wang Hong saw the group of demon beasts that were sweeping not far away. It is no longer appropriate to say that the demon beast group is so wide that it is more accurate to call it the demon beast sea.
"Come, come up," shouted many of the monks. Some of the demon beasts at the front had already climbed onto the island and were rushing towards the position of the city wall. Sea lion demons with long bodies appeared one after another, golden toad monsters that leaped several feet away, and various huge crabs, shrimp monsters, and all kinds of strange fish demons and sea python demons, all of which were the most common low-level demon beasts in the No. 10 sea area.
These demon beasts with very low intelligence, as if they were invisibly driven away by something, rushed towards the city wall more than 1,000 zhang high. From the sea to the city wall, it is only a short distance of more than 20 miles, and in a few moments, a huge number of demon beasts have been enriched under the city wall, and they are constantly increasing.
Hundreds of pounds of boulders were already placed on the catapult, and the crossbow was also fastened with iron arrows three or four feet long, inscribed with simple runes, flashing with a faint aura, and tightening the bowstring.
The monk in charge of the "launch" gave the order, and the mortals on the city wall began to attack. Ten mortals pressed the giant tree at the same time, pulling the trigger on the giant crossbow, and the tight bowstring immediately shot out the catapult iron arrow, which broke through the air in an arc.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of people used force at the same time to pull the bowstring full again, pull the trigger shut, and three people carried an iron arrow and placed it on the giant crossbow. Hundreds of mortals pulled a long rope together and ran wildly along the city wall for dozens of feet. The long rope drove a giant log on the catapult to rotate, and threw the stone placed at one end into the air dozens of feet high. The stones went over the walls and downward.
Then the giant tree slowly fell under the control of these men, and soon seven or eight strong men lassoed the stones with sticks and ropes and attached them to the catapults. Such scenes are constantly played out throughout the city walls.
On the entire city wall, there were no less than 10,000 catapults and giant crossbows, and there were no less than a million mortals who indulged in these great killing weapons. Iron arrows and stones fell in an arc from the city wall more than 1,000 zhang high like raindrops, with an amazing whistling wind, and the momentum was very shocking
With a "poof", an iron arrow easily pierced the body of a running sea lion demon and nailed it to the ground. With a loud "boom", a stone with the amazing momentum of falling from a high altitude happened to smash on the hard shell of a crab monster, and it actually smashed this demon into a pulp, and this stone was also broken into countless small pieces and splashed out in all directions, injuring several nearby demon beasts.
Although the skin of the demon beast is rough and thick, after the stones and iron arrows fall from a height of more than a thousand zhang, the speed is extremely fast and powerful, as long as they are hit by the vital point, they will definitely die, not to mention that these iron arrows and stones are engraved with simple rune spells.
Although most of the attacks missed, after this wave of volleys, there were no less than a thousand dead and injured demon beasts. The middle-aged monk in the foundation building period who "launched" the flag of the order in his hand gave the order again.
Iron arrows and stones rained down again. A golden toad monster several feet in size was leaping towards the city wall, and a three-foot-square stone fell on the hard ground in front of it, smashing into a huge crater of extreme depth, and splattering countless rubble.
The speed of these rubbles was extremely fast, and there was no way to avoid it, and the toad monster was immediately injured, and even its fist-sized left eye was hit, and blood flowed profusely. The toad monster opened its huge jaw and let out a scream like a cow's moo, but it still jumped towards the city wall without stopping.
Under the city wall, monsters of various forms are frantically impacting and destroying the city wall with sharp teeth, giant tails, limbs, and bodies. The outside of this city wall is engraved with many defensive spells, and it is the most powerful and sturdy place, even if these low-level demon beasts are attacked without regard for their own lives, they are also very damaged.
"Wang Hong shouted the order and passed it to the monk in the foundation building period, who immediately waved the order flag in his hand and passed the order to the mortals. On the edge of the city wall, countless mortals were working together to push down stones several feet in size from the low half-human height wall.
Countless stones fell, and the demon beasts at the foot of the city wall were suddenly killed and injured, and all kinds of wails and howls were endless. Pieces of demon beasts poured onto Fengyun Island, bursts of iron arrows and stone rain fell, screams and roars came out, and a body was injured and fell, and the area of dozens of miles under the walls of Fengyun City under the moonlight suddenly became a bloody and crazy killing field.
