Chapter 379: Flesh and Flesh

Nail's heart tightened suddenly.

At that moment, time seemed to slow down. He prayed in his heart that he would be hit. At the same time, he looked at the giant evil beast without blinking, until the breath he held was restored, and the opponent was still safe and sound, still running forward.

After a few breaths, a snow column rose far away from the monster.

worse.

Nail's heart sank suddenly. Because the giant beast was not heading towards the sixth section of the city wall, there was an angle between it and the artillery. The long-barreled cannon had to constantly adjust the angle, and at the same time had to estimate the speed of the opponent's movement and shoot in advance. Otherwise, as it is now, after firing, the shell will be hit behind the target.

According to the rate of fire of the field cannon, they only have one last chance before the monster breaks through the city wall!

Nail could already see the thick fur on the enemy's body and the bloody mouth under the fangs. The witches were rushing towards this side, obviously intending to intercept this monster. But the sum of the four of them is not as thick as the other's leg. Can magic alone do it?

He was so anxious that he even wanted to run to the sixth section of the city wall and remind the artillery team to aim forward, but the supervisors standing on both sides of each section of the city wall made him finally suppress this urge—now that he left the defensive position without authorization, it was very likely that he would be killed. Considered fleeing. Lord Iron Ax has repeatedly emphasized that this kind of behavior that may cause the defense line to loosen is absolutely prohibited. Once discovered, the supervisory team can shoot and kill directly.

The evil beast running in the front had already entered the shooting range of the revolver rifle, and a series of crackling sounds sounded from the top of the city.

Nail had no choice but to continue to perform his task, placing the loaded loader next to the shooter.

At this time, the second earth-shattering roar sounded again, which was only three or four breaths away from the previous firing of the long-barreled cannon.

So fast! ? Nail was surprised to look at the sixth section of the city wall. The smoke above the gun barrel had not dissipated, and there was still smoke coming out of the gun muzzle, like a lighted silver pipe. But the more shocking thing was yet to come. Before he even had time to observe whether the shooting had hit the enemy, the dazzling fire appeared again——

The third shelling!

God, don't they have to reload?

He only saw four or five people busy behind the gun barrel, but no one had ever approached the muzzle. It seemed that this artillery was completely different from those stubby field guns. It was like a revolver, capable of continuous firing. !

And this time the attack paid off.

Nail didn't see the shells being shot into the monster's body. The first thing that caught his eyes was a cloud of blood bursting from the side of the giant evil beast. Apart from the scattered black blood, there were also torn fur and large pieces of flesh and blood. . At the same time, the evil beast trembled fiercely, and its entire body seemed to be a little deflated, and ripples appeared on the sturdy fur like the surface of water—but he doubted whether it was an illusion, because the next moment, the sunken body appeared again. It returned to normal, but the monster's eyeballs were squeezed out in the depression, and at the same time, black and white sticky objects were ejected.

There was not even a dying roar, and the giant beast fell straight sideways on the ground, making a dull impact sound. Only then did Nail find the place where the cannonball hit—a large hole was opened in its body near the neck, although it was insignificant compared to its burly body, it was even difficult to connect this hole with the fatal blow just now. Together. Wisps of blue smoke were coming out of the hole, while the surrounding fur was charred black.

The monster from hell just died?

Nail couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and vented his previous worries into a roar.

"Long live Your Highness!"

Even such a terrifying and ferocious enemy cannot stop the powerful weapon invented by His Highness the Prince! Apart from the new-style cannon, he couldn't even think of any other way to kill this burly mixed-breed evil beast—even if the witch could do it, it wasn't as clean and neat. Thinking about it further, in a sense, His Highness endowed them with power comparable to witches!

This cry received more responses, like an introduction, and quickly ignited the emotions of others. At first, the recruits followed suit, and then the veterans couldn't help but clenched their fists.

High-pitched cheers erupted from the top of the city.

"Long live Your Royal Highness!"

*******************

Roland didn't get the news until after the battle.

He put on a wool coat and rushed to the western part of the city wall. The huge corpse of the evil beast was still lying quietly in the snow, and the black blood melted the surrounding snow into a bend of black water.

It seems that no matter how frightening their appearance, these monsters are still only carbon-based organisms. In the face of gunpowder and steel, they are still no different from thin paper.

After being shot into the target's body, the solid-pointed projectile rolled over due to instability, and transferred the kinetic energy it carried to the target's whole body, and finally spun through the body—as seen at the scene, the body on the other side of the target It was completely lifted, and the internal organs and broken bones were scattered all over the place. Even the hardest head was shattered in the energy shock, and the whole body collapsed.

However, he was also a little worried in his heart. There is a limit to the strength of a creature's bones. This thing is obviously several times larger than an elephant. How does it support its own body without being crushed by its own weight? This is why land animals are much smaller than sea creatures, and gravity is an insurmountable barrier.

Could it all have something to do with magic too? I remember that Nightingale mentioned that she could see magic power flowing in the bodies of some hybrid evil beasts.

"This...how is it possible!" Agatha who followed her widened her eyes, "Isn't this a hell beast?"

"What is that, the name of the hybrid beast?" Roland asked curiously, "It also appeared in the Fertile Plain before?"

"Yes, when they appear in groups, they are extremely difficult enemies for witches and devils. Many towns have been trampled to the ground by hell beasts," Agatha's voice sounded a bit Dry, "But you can only see them when the red moon is approaching."

"The red moon... is coming?" Roland suddenly remembered the record in that ancient book, "When the red moon dripping blood appears in the sky, the gates of hell will open again." He frowned, "What do you mean?"

"According to the records handed down from the first battle of divine will, that was the moment when the magic power was the most abundant. The emergence of witches will usher in a peak, but similarly, devils and evil beasts will also become extraordinarily powerful." Agatha was nervous Said calmly, "I have carefully read the history book you gave me. According to the estimation of the age, there should be at least 20 to 50 years before the Red Moon. It is impossible for such a monster to appear."

"But it still appeared," Roland said in a deep voice, "what does it mean?"

"It means we're running out of time."
