Chapter 1075 Heavy Tank Giant Lizard, Terrifying Dwarf Army!
The guards standing on the city wall are not that sensitive to light changes.
Especially in the wasteland where there is no light pollution source, most people will subconsciously avoid looking directly at strong light at night.
However, the guards on the watchtower are different.
Standing high, seeing far.
Three short and one long, very rapid.
The rhythm of the halo scattering is very obvious, and it instantly matches the distress signal that the Western Suburbs Alliance has just released not long ago.
"It's the people of Huo Village. It seems that there are enemies chasing them behind?"
"Turn on the spotlight, hurry up, turn on all the lights on the city wall!"
"Don't rush to open the door, confirm your identity first, repeat, don't rush to open the door!"
"Archers, archers, prepare for support!"
The chaotic noise of the guards echoed on the warning wall that spread for several kilometers.
Looking at the newcomers who bumped into each other from time to time, like headless flies, the old guards who participated in the last city wall defense battle had a headache.
There is no way, this is the biggest disadvantage of the territory peace guards who have not experienced real combat.
Even though the attack and defense of the city wall had been rehearsed many times before, it was still difficult to perform normally in an emergency.
Fortunately, there were not many enemies in the distance. When the distance was shortened, the section of the city wall facing the enemy had been organized into a simple order by Lu Zhou.
The guards holding shields stood in the front, guarding against the long-range weapons released by the enemy when attacking the city.
The guards holding crossbows stood in the middle, aiming the shooting port in the direction of the enemy.
The figures running and chasing in front of the city wall were also revealed under the illumination of high-power spotlights.
The one running in the front was naturally the "discarded armor" Huo Village Supply Team.
In order to distinguish friendly forces at night, the supply team would replace the outermost coat with a reflective vest when transporting at night, with a T-shaped design in the middle to attract attention.
At this time, when the light shines, the number can be counted immediately based on the reflection.
The standard transport team is forty people, but now there are only eighteen people left.
And Hope Village lent Huo Village ten coolie lizards to pull the cart out of friendship. Now the frame behind the lizard has been removed and turned into a temporary mount.
Two people shared one lizard, leaving nine.
The captain in charge of transporting supplies was holding up a flashlight and sending out distress signals in a rhythmic manner.
The pursuers behind
"Wait, how come these guys are riding coolie lizards?"
Lu Zhou, who was in charge of the city defense, was shocked when he saw the approximate shape of the black shadows.
As one of the first people in the territory, he participated in the battle against the Black Stone Camp that year.
Naturally, he also knew the initial appearance of these lizards and their subsequent changes.
Although the lizards on both sides are somewhat different in size, their outlines are similar.
The reason why they have been unable to catch up is that the lizards that were once captured from the Dwarf Black Stone Camp have almost doubled in weight after Su Chan's careful feeding for more than half a year, reaching more than 100 kilograms.
Adequate nutrition has given the coolie lizards stronger endurance, strength, and courage than before.
The chasing lizards behind them looked much thinner, and many of them were even smaller than the size of the coolie lizards when they first arrived at the territory, which led to the continuous increase in the distance between the two sides.
Of course, the pursuit problem is not a simple mathematical problem.
It also involves many factors such as wind speed, terrain, physical strength, and momentum.
If it is an endless wilderness, it may be difficult for the supply team to escape the pursuit of the other party.
But being able to run under the warning wall is already a certain degree of safety.
"Get ready, shoot arrows when the enemy enters the range!"
In fact, there is no need to observe who the enemy is carefully, Lu Zhou's mind has automatically matched the creature sitting on the lizard.
It is not others, but those dwarves who have disappeared for a long time!
The original dwarf territory bordered the Tianyuan territory, especially the Black Stone Camp was less than 100 kilometers away from Hope Village in a straight line, and the coolie lizards only needed a few hours to reach it at full speed.
After the new continent was enlarged in proportion, the territory and the dwarves were separated by a certain distance.
According to the five-fold multiplier, it is about 300 to 500 kilometers.
It doesn't sound far, but it is already a very considerable strategic distance in the wasteland.
After all, the opponent's technology has not developed to the modern level, and it can fight across 500 kilometers without any supplies.
However, now, taking advantage of the Metal Sigh disaster, the vengeful dwarves finally made a comeback.
"Shoot!"
The spotlight has been shining on the pursuers, reflecting the hideous dwarves with bared teeth.
Lu Zhou shouted loudly, and dozens of guards pulled the trigger together.
Whoosh!
The rain of arrows in the sky brought a series of glimmering ripples in the dark night, flying straight towards the dwarf team.
However, disappointingly, before the first crossbow arrow approached the dwarf.
Huh.
Blue and white light curtains suddenly rose from the dwarf, not only wrapping himself, but also wrapping the coolie lizard.
The crossbow arrows shot on the light curtain, and the stalemate lasted only one or two seconds.
As the kinetic energy was absorbed by the light curtain, it could only fall to the ground helplessly, and failed to cause effective damage.
"Fuck!"
"Our technology has been weakened, but these damn alien races, their abilities have not been weakened!"
This is not the first time I have seen dwarves use such abilities.
Lu Zhou slapped the city wall in anger.
If the guards were holding a wolf crossbow made of the second-generation powerful iron instead of an ordinary wooden crossbow.
Then as long as they kept firing to trigger the critical hit effect, they would always find a chance to break through the opponent's defense.
But unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
The wooden crossbow has no special ability and it is impossible to have a critical hit effect.
"Keep shooting arrows to consume their protective shield energy!"
After opening the game panel and notifying the back of this information, Lu Zhou continued to command the guards to shoot.
Although the power of the crossbow arrows could not harm the dwarves behind the light shield, their speed was visibly slowed down.
Taking this opportunity, the guards under the city wall quickly opened the gate and let the people from the supply team in.
"Tonight is Captain Zhang? How did you provoke the dwarves?"
"No, how did you meet here?!!"
The guards were not unfamiliar with the oriental face in the lead, which was Zhang Zhishang, the current captain of the guards in Huo Village.
It's strange to say.
Although Huosens Shelter is a shelter dominated by Western faces, even the managers are Westerners.
But their internal guards and military leaders are all oriental.
"Oh, brother, don't mention it. Now it's not just us who are in trouble. The whole Qinggang City is in big trouble!"
Finally arriving at a safe place, Zhang Zhishang wiped the sweat from his head and explained hurriedly.
In order to set up the framework of Huo Village as soon as possible and open up a plantation that can supply food and drink for 40,000 people.
Kevin has recently issued a death order that the capable ones will be promoted, the average ones will be given way, and the mediocre ones will be demoted.
If you can't do it, then don't do it.
If you say you are tired, then just get out of the shelter.
This kind of order directly caused everyone in the shelter to become a roll king, wishing to work 24 hours a day.
Even he, the captain of the guard, has to escort three trips of supplies a day before he can rest.
More than ten days have passed, and more than 60 round trips have not made any mistakes, which has made Zhang Zhishang a little relaxed.
But what happened tonight almost killed him.
"The dwarves you mentioned have sent out an army of tens of thousands of people. They are going to capture the city!"
"What?!"
When the guards who were about to go up to the city wall to help heard tens of thousands of people, they were stunned.
"Yes, and this number is no less!"
Not only the guards were shocked, but also the other people in Huo Village who had escaped by chance.
"They ride on lizards like you, and have all kinds of strange abilities!"
"Yes, they can not only breathe fire, but also launch energy attacks. I saw a dwarf cut out an energy blade!"
"What is an energy blade? That's called a light wave!"
"We can't beat them. How can we beat them without weapons? Or should we quickly notify the people in the village to escape?"
"Escape, where to escape? The manager is still in the shelter!"
"Yes, our roots are here. Where can we escape without supplies?!"
"They also have heavy tank lizards. The size of that guy is even bigger than a tank. I saw with my own eyes that thing collapsed a small building when it walked over."
The survivors shouted in unison, and the words they said seemed to be describing a science fiction movie.
But what they didn't know was that on the lightning wall dozens of kilometers away.
Commander Edmund's words at this time were no different from theirs.
"A lizard bigger than a tank?!"
"What the hell is this?! Has the radiation beast mutated to this extent?"
A large number of reptiles were already roaring in front of the lightning wall.
The most conspicuous of them were naturally those huge heavy tank lizards that could be called behemoths.
The height of these things was at least fifteen meters, and some of the big ones were around twenty meters.
The lizard was covered with a layer of black flesh membrane and scales, with a spiral horn on its head for attack, and a large protruding tumor on its back, which looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex with a tortoise shell.
Some dwarves were drilling in the tortoise shell, controlling the lizard to move step by step towards the lightning wall.
"Our plane may have been taken away by these guys!" The deputy commander next to him swallowed his saliva.
This scene looked too terrifying, beyond human cognition of other creatures.
Especially when thinking of the stolen plane and the video sent back, everyone present had a slight change in expression.
"We didn't provoke these guys, why did they come to attack us?"
"Is it a conspiracy of those mole guys in the southern suburbs? These monsters came from the south!"
"It's the western suburbs. It must be Hunter Tiger's doing. He likes dealing with mutants and these radioactive beasts the most."
"Everyone, the most urgent task now is not to figure out where our enemies come from, but how to win this battle. They are about to attack!"
This outrageous scene scared everyone present and made their brains crash. Only a few older commanders grasped the key point.
At this time, although the lightning wall had been repaired, the door below for entry and exit was also closed tightly.
But there is no doubt that in front of the 20-meter heavy tank lizard, the wooden door of more than 10 meters would definitely not be able to stop the opponent.
Edmund made a prompt decision and gave an order.
"Push out the wall gun!"
"80MM armor-piercing shells, target the largest enemy creature!"
Wow.
As Edmund's voice fell, cracks began to appear on the surface of the towering lightning wall.
From the crack, the dark muzzle slowly stretched out.
Although the Metal Sigh disaster deprived humanity of its weapons inventory overnight, it made it impossible to resume production within thirty days.
But this does not mean that it has basic industrial capabilities, such as a powerful gathering place such as Clear Harbor Shelter.
More than ten days have passed and no short-term replacement has been produced.
These city cannons used for defense were the first weapons ordered by Edmund.
Speaking of which, when weapons were first produced, some people suggested producing substitutes for guns, taking advantage of this time to kill all the gophers in the city, and destroy the Western Suburban Alliance in the bud.
But looking back now, Edmund's decision was indeed the right one.
With defense, there is offense.
Although these city cannons made of high-strength injection plastic are expensive, they give everyone a great sense of security at this critical time.
Fully sixty muzzles were stretched out and aimed immediately with the help of auxiliary equipment.
"Fire!"
Boom!
Boom!
The armor-piercing explosive bombs drew a beautiful parabola in the air and flew into the enemy's positions.
The blazing yellow tail flame outlines the stream of light all over the sky, bursting out with the crystallization of human civilization!
At this moment, not only the soldiers who launched the shots stared wide-eyed, wanting to see the damage caused by the shells.
Everyone on the city wall, including dozens of commanders, also had their eyes narrowed, staring firmly at the huge heavy tank lizards.
However, it is a pity that it was like a crossbow arrow hitting the blue-white light curtain and falling down weakly.
Before the cannonball could actually fly past, a huge white light shield suddenly appeared from the center of the position and enveloped half of the sky in less than a second.
boom! Boom!
The armor-piercing projectile hit the mask and exploded. Fire rain fell from the sky with the explosion, and the night sky in Qinggang City suddenly became as bright as day.
None of the sixty shells could penetrate this mysterious light shield, and they all exploded high in the air.
The strong smell of gunpowder smoke came, and the explosion debris that filled the sky was reflected back, scaring the people on the city wall to hide.
"Gan!"
"What the fuck is this?"
Edmund yelled in a daze, not caring even if his face was scratched with blood from the fragments.
This was simply beyond his knowledge, no, that's not right!
This thing is beyond the cognition of all Blue Star humans. Not even the foundation, not even the academy, they have such means.
For a long time, human beings have never tired of 'attacking' the technology tree.
From the point-to-point weapons at the beginning, to the over-the-horizon weapons later, and finally to the weapons that ignore distance.
If the enemy in front of him used a weapon he had never seen before, Edmund would never be so shocked.
but defense
Defense, the basis for researching this thing must at least be researching weapons.
If you want to defend against bullets, you must at least know the power of bullets in order to make corresponding shields and armor.
If you want to defend against missiles, you must at least measure the missile's trajectory so that you can intercept it in advance.
You don’t know the nature of the opponent’s weapons, how about you defending against ghosts?
Human beings have imagined a general defense device that can prevent any weapon attack.
But then there must be a generational difference in civilization!
It's like fully armed modern people returning to ancient times and not caring about the attacks of ancient people at all.
No matter how sharp your sword is, if I drill into the tank, can you still split it from the outside?
If the opponent's defense points are already higher than humans' attack points.
"No, hurry up and inform those idiots underground. Hurry up and wake up the manager!"
"The disaster of Sunny Harbor Sanctuary is coming!"
