Chapter 497 Lies

Just as the zombies were climbing the ladder and were about to approach the top of the city wall, many torches were thrown down from the city wall.

As soon as the torch fell to the ground, it immediately ignited the gasoline under the city, and the flames spread immediately. The zombies were suddenly covered in a sea of ​​​​fire before they understood what was going on.

Zombies are very defensive, which is against force attacks. This flame is the enemy of zombies. Soon, each zombie turned into a torch. Even the zombies who climbed up the ladder were not spared. Soon, together with the ladder, Become a burning torch.

The fire lit up the entire battlefield, and some zombies hiding among the corpses carrying stone frames were exposed under the city wall. Then there was a loud sound of gunfire, and the zombies who were about to throw stones were shot and fell to the ground. But there were still zombies throwing stones before falling to the ground. These stones, carrying their own weight and the power of the zombies, hit the city wall heavily, and some only hit the city bricks, leaving a deep hole in the city bricks. However, there were still city bricks that hit the soldiers guarding the city. Many of them were only injured. However, there were still several soldiers who were directly hit in the head. Their heads were cracked and they died on the spot.

"Aim, aim at those stone-throwing zombies and hit them hard!" When the guard saw that there were casualties among the soldiers, his eyes immediately turned red and he roared angrily at the soldiers below.

"There are artillerymen, blow them up for me, don't be stingy with ammunition, blow up all the zombies for me!" Turning around, the guard shouted to the artillerymen.

Suddenly, gunfire erupted on the city, and scores of zombies were killed and injured. Suddenly, a blank area of ​​more than fifty meters appeared in front of the city wall. There were only zombies lying on the ground and no standing soldiers.

Although the zombies kept roaring and charging forward, the fire ignited by the zombies illuminated the area, and the zombies could no longer cross the isolation area.

"Stop the attack!" The city defense commander saw that the fire illuminated the battlefield and the zombie attack was hindered. More importantly, the ladders and other siege tools were completely burned by the fire just now. Now even if the zombies rush forward, they will only get beaten. It is better to stop, make new tools, and wait for the fire to go out.

So the zombies started to do the demolition work again, and the houses were knocked down by the zombies. All kinds of steel and wood in the houses were cleared out, and then ladders and even battering rams were made one by one, waiting for the fire to be extinguished. Attack the city again.

The fire burned for more than two hours before gradually extinguishing. The fire made the city walls a little hot, and even the water temperature of the moat increased a lot. If the river water was not constantly flowing, I am afraid that the river water would have boiled.

When the fire was extinguished and the remaining warmth had not dissipated, the corpse's throat sounded again, and the city defense commander once again urged the zombies to attack.

This time I gained experience and the bridge across the river was made of door panels. This time the zombies stepped on it and no longer had to worry about falling into the water. Moreover, this time the zombies also learned how to build a ladder and put the ladder directly on the city wall as soon as they came up. Go up and attack the city wall.

Without the illumination of the flames, the soldiers' shooting accuracy dropped a lot, which made the zombies get closer to the city wall. The zombies screamed and crawled towards the city wall. As long as the zombies climbed onto the city wall, close combat at night would definitely be detrimental to the soldiers defending the city.

"Quick, throw a grenade and blow up the ladder!" At the critical moment, the guard came up with a way.

Following an order, the grenade was thrown down the city wall and exploded among the corpses. The ladder was blown to pieces. It also killed many zombies under the city wall. Some zombies were not even hit by the explosion, but were pushed away by the air wave. He retreated and fell into the moat and was washed away by the current.

Another zombie attack was neutralized by grenades, and this time the zombies suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.

There are now less than 200,000 zombies. If more than 100,000 zombies die under the city, they will be taken away by the moat. The attack lasted for most of the night. The only result was to cause single-digit deaths of human soldiers, a dozen soldiers were injured, and several city defenses The crossbow was smashed with stones.

As it gets darker, the front of the royal city is covered with corpses of zombies. At this time, the corpses are even piled up to two or three meters high in some places. These piles of corpses have become obstacles for the zombies to attack.

At this time, the snake demons and kobolds were so tired that they could hardly stand up. Although they did not directly participate in the battle, since they were driven out of the royal city yesterday, they have not had water, rice, or teeth all day and night. Now, Many people already feel tired even standing.

"Sir, we can't fight like this. We can only kill people in vain, and there is nothing we can do about this city." A snake demon soldier said to the city defense commander.

"Then what do you think I should do?" The hungry and thirsty city defense commander said angrily, now full of anger.

"Sir, we should report the situation here to His Majesty the Pharaoh now!" the soldier said cautiously.

"Do you know what Pharaoh will do to us if he knows that the royal city is lost?!" the city defense commander said angrily.

"Sir, if we are not strong enough and we resist desperately and lose the city as a last resort, and we also kill and injure a large number of enemies and severely injure them, will Pharaoh still blame you for such a result?" That one? The snake demon said.

"This...do you think Pharaoh would believe me if I said this?"

"If Pharaoh doesn't believe it, he has to come and investigate, but will the enemy give Pharaoh a chance to investigate? As long as we don't tell, those zombies won't tell. You say..."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. By the way, there happens to be a bottle of evolutionary fluid here, which I extracted from the crystal core in the past two days. I extracted this secretly, so don't tell anyone else! "The city defense commander said, secretly taking out a bottle of evolutionary fluid and putting it into the hand of the snake demon.

"Thank you sir, I will definitely not say anything about you."

"Hahaha, that's good. I'll report it to the Pharaoh right away. I hope His Majesty the Pharaoh can come back for help in time!" The city defense commander glanced at the royal city sadly, then found a black giant scorpion. After climbing up, he quickly Run towards the pyramid.

The snake demon stuffed the evolutionary liquid into his arms, looked at the back of the city defense commander with disdain, and whispered: "What does it have to do with me whether you die or not? The pharaoh is back, at least we don't have to starve!"

At this time, the city defense commander did not know that he was being plotted by his subordinates.

At this time, under the pyramid, Abinus was commanding zombies to continuously enter the pyramid with big dark circles under his eyes. This pyramid was like a giant beast devouring living things. Nearly 600,000 zombies had entered it, but the entire pyramid had already entered. Only two-thirds of the passages have been opened. If we look at this progress, if we want to open all the passages, we will need at least four to five million zombies.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Abinus for not working hard, nor for his poor command. Many of the mechanisms in the pyramid are only managed by one general, and cannot be opened by ten thousand people. Often tens of thousands of zombies are dead, but there is no way to break through the mechanism inside. There is one mechanism in particular, which is two beams of light. When the zombies re-enter the corridor and approach the exit of the passage, the beams of light are instantly emitted, killing all the zombies in the entire passage. If he were killed, if the beam of light hadn't become increasingly dimmed and finally disappeared, Abinus would not have been able to advance even half a step at this point.

Of course, Abinus firmly believed that the content of the servant's letter was true. Many traps were finally passed without energy. This confirmed what the slave said. The only way to consume the energy of the Sun God Statue was to keep attacking. It is the key to cracking this pyramid, so dead people are the best choice. Anyway, these zombies are for consumption.

In fact, how did Abinus know that this was Li Yuanhong's seduction plan? Although after replacing it with the real Eyes of the Sun God and Pupils of the Moon God, the energy of this magical statue was greatly increased, and it could automatically absorb natural energy from the outside world to replenish it. Excessive consumption will also cause the energy of the Sun Statue to be out of balance.

Therefore, in order to keep the energy consumption of the Sun God Statue in a balanced state, Li Yuanhong gradually introduced the Pharaoh's army into the pyramid to prevent the Pharaoh's army from evacuating.

Now that the Pharaoh's army has been introduced into the pyramid, Li Yuanhong can close the door and beat the dog at any time.

At this time, the Pharaoh was still having fun in his team's tent to kill time, waiting for Abinus to bring him good news.

However, before the news of Abinus came, the city defense officer of the royal city came over to ask for an audience.

"Why did this guy come to me if he doesn't defend the city well?" Pharaoh took a sip of wine and asked casually.

"Your Majesty's city defense officer didn't say anything. He only said that he had important military information to report, and he said that he could only tell it in person when he saw you." Pharaoh's guard said.

"Haha, he has learned how to tell the truth, so okay, let him come in!"

"Yes!" The guard retreated and quickly brought in the city defense officer.

"What military information do you have to report?" Pharaoh asked, looking at the city defense commander who was covered in blood and dust.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The royal city has been lost!" the city defense commander said in horror.

"What!" The Pharaoh was shocked, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground without even holding it firmly. It broke into pieces, and the red wine inside splashed out, as if it was red blood, spilling all over the floor.

"Your Majesty... the royal city is lost!" This time, the city defense commander said with tears.

"How did you lose it?" Pharaoh asked with a livid face.

So the city defense commander had more than hundreds of thousands of enemies, and there were not only powerful siege tanks, but also flying combat knights. Then the city defense commander himself took the lead and resisted with all his strength. Unfortunately, the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and he was eventually outnumbered and defeated by the enemy. Enter the royal city. In order to let Pharaoh know the situation in the royal city in time, he had no choice but to come to report the news, otherwise he would die in battle and be loyal to Pharaoh.

In short, the city defense officer described a defeated battle as a history of his heroic resistance, completely unaware that the Pharaoh's face was getting more and more livid.

"You bastard, you dare to lie in front of me. With your commanding ability, I estimate that the enemy with less than 10,000 people would scare the shit out of you. If I hadn't let you defend the city for the sake of your usual loyalty, otherwise How could it be your turn in such an important position! Tell me the truth, how many enemies are there!"

Although the Pharaoh was lecherous and overjoyed, he was definitely not a fool. As soon as the city defense commander opened his mouth, he was full of loopholes and could be seen through at a glance.
