Chapter 70 New Discovery
The intensity of monster siege varies according to the size of the city and the number of city guards. An ordinary player's city is only as large as the area in Essinger's third city wall, and there will not be so many monsters. The reason why Essinger is difficult to defend is because the area is too large, and the number of monsters spawned is too large, so it is difficult to defend!
It's now past two o'clock in the morning, and it will be three o'clock in ten minutes. The monsters outside the second city wall are still resting under the outer city wall. It seems that the system regulations are still very binding on them! Vader was explaining tomorrow's mission to several important generals on the second wall's gatehouse.
The demon spirit knights have all been sent out of the city. Now there are no soldiers on the city wall who can serve as emergency reserves. The night guards have to be responsible for front-line blocking tasks. The mages are obviously not suitable for these tasks. They are more powerful than the others against enemies outside the city, but mages are not as good as archers against enemies at close range.
I walked up to Vida. He wanted to salute but I raised my hand to stop him. "Go on!"
"Yes!" He turned back and said: "Tomorrow's strategy is to use the height of the city wall to carry out a suppressive attack. The main combat goal is to prevent the enemy from approaching the city wall. Of course, we cannot block all enemies. What I mean is not to let The Cyclops is approaching the city wall, and you have all seen their tactics today! The only consequence of being approached by them is to lose the second city wall just like yesterday! Therefore, the Cyclops must not be allowed to approach the city wall under any circumstances!"
A blood lord said: "But sir, our mages cannot accurately locate, and the archers do not have enough firepower to suppress the Cyclops!"
A death knight next to him came out and said, "I'm talking to Vader, should we go out and conduct a raid ourselves?"
"You mean just the five of us?" Vader looked at the Death Knight who made the suggestion.
"If you feel in danger, you can bring the blood lords with you. We are all powerful beings. Don't worry about those little monsters. As long as you can kill the Cyclops, it will be fine, right?"
"What about the commander? You took away the commander, how can we defend?" Vader's words immediately silenced everyone.
I entered the discussion circle. "If it's just to deal with the Cyclops, I have a way!"
"What can the city lord do?" A death knight next to me looked at me in surprise. "We don't have many long-range attack troops!"
"Have you forgotten it?" I pointed to the top of the Spirit Gathering Tower.
"Eye of Hell?" None of the Death Knights responded.
"The Eye of Hell is a master of precision strikes. It can hit 0 specific people in a large group of people within one minute. The Eye of Hell in the Lost City can hit flying artillery shells, and ours is not inferior. Ping, isn’t it a piece of cake to deal with some monsters?”
"It makes sense! Then please, Lord City Lord, go tell the Eye of Hell and kill all the Cyclops when the battle begins!"
"Just go up and say no to it!" I don't want to run back and forth!
"Don't you know, Lord City Lord?" the death knight next to him asked strangely.
"what do you know?"
Vida also asked suspiciously: "Didn't I tell you?"
"What did you tell me?"
"Maybe I forgot about that! In fact, the Eye of Hell is only controlled by the city lord. No one can control it except your orders! It won't listen to anything unless it sees you in person!"
"Oh! That's it! Then I'll go for it myself!" I had no choice but to run back to the Spirit Gathering Tower in frustration to chat with the Eye of Hell. "Hell's Eye, can you hear me?"
The orange-red eyes burning with blue flames turned to stare at me, and a distant and slow voice sounded. "Yes, Lord City Lord!" The voice seemed to be made purely from the throat. Not only did it have an echo, but it was also very low and hoarse. It sounded quite scary, but it had a seductive feeling!
"That..." It made me forget something because of its voice! "Oh! Well, when the battle starts tomorrow, you must kill all the Cyclops you can see as quickly as possible. You must not let them get close to the city wall!"
"Yes! Lord City Lord!"
"Okay, that's it! By the way, since you have one eye, you should be able to see things very clearly, right?"
"Yes!"
"How far can you see?"
"When visibility is good, I can see what an ant is doing 500 kilometers away!"
It's exactly what I guessed. The Eye of Hell is as big as an astronomical telescope. As long as you have the ability to telescope, you should be able to see very far away things.
"Can you see the rear of the monsters? In that forest, take a closer look. Is there anything like a command post inside? The behavior of the monsters yesterday (now early Sunday morning) clearly showed The logic that is inconsistent with their intelligence can only mean that they have a headquarters or something like that, and there may be a creature with advanced intelligence coordinating behind them!"
"Let me try! The dark night also has a certain impact on my vision!" The Eye of Hell suddenly turned outside the city, "City Lord, please close your eyes, and I will tell you what I see!"
I closed my eyes, but the image of the forest outside the city immediately appeared in my eyes. Although Hell's Eye said that the night also affected it, the picture I saw was still very clear! The monsters were densely packed in the open space outside the city and extended into the forest. As the screen zoomed in further, one could barely see clearly what was going on in the forest through the gaps between the leaves of the trees. Of course, this is thanks to our logging campaign to build the city. We have cut down all the larger trees in the forest, and now there are gaps in the east and big holes in the west.
After carefully looking at the situation in the woods, we quickly found some details. There is an area in the forest that is guarded by a large number of high-level monsters, and these monsters are obviously scattered in a circle. This layout can only mean one thing, and that is what they are guarding! Looking forward in the direction their backs were facing, I soon saw something like a tent. This is the first time in a long time that I have seen monsters displaying high intelligence. The splendor of this tent is definitely not comparable to the rags worn by wild boar warriors!
At this moment, the tent curtain opened, and something came out, but a few leaves obscured the guy's head, so he couldn't see clearly what it was. But its body looks strong and muscular. This guy has a silver breastplate (without sleeves) and a skirt armor on his waist. Although they are short equipment, at least he has basic armor. Although these two items are short, they have completely protected the vital points of the body. Although it is not certain that this guy is the monster leader, at least he is a leader!
This strange guy said something to another monster that walked in from outside the camp. Then it returned to the tent, and the monster that talked to it...how should I say it! This one may not be a monster, because it looks like a human being no matter how I look at it! Although it is a bit hunchbacked and has six arms, this guy is very human-like, and its dress reminds me of a ninja! A ninja with six arms!
The monster spawned by the system will definitely not be a player, and Chinese players will not be a ninja, not to mention it has six hands! foreign? impossible! The system announcement made it very clear that except for monsters and players in the guild, everyone else will be automatically teleported out of this area, and no players will come in! Then it must be an NPC monster!
While he was guessing, the guy turned around, revealing a pair of eyes with a faint red light. It seemed that he was indeed a monster!
"Okay, let me quit!" I said to the devil's eye.
The picture suddenly returned to the world I saw.
"Has the city lord seen clearly?"
"Yeah!" I nodded. "Okay, I still have something to do, don't forget your mission tomorrow!"
"knew!"
Back at Vader's place, the meeting has ended and everyone has gone to assign work.
"Vader!"
"Lord City Lord!"
"I already told Hell Eye, you don't have to worry about Cyclops. And I saw some strange things."
"what?"
"The other party has a chain of command!" I said what I just saw.
Vader was very surprised. "They are just monsters. Although some have basic intelligence, they cannot be commanded. At most, they only have fighting instincts!"
"Fighting Instinct? Then how do you explain that the Cyclops originally used for long-range support suddenly turned into a vanguard battalion? Temporary formation changes are not something that Combat Instinct can do, right? Also, the guy I saw has relatively complete armor. It looks like Its equipment is not bad!"
"Is there really a chain of command?"
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"No! I'm just too surprised! We underestimated the monster's ability!" Vader thought for a moment: "Then our plan will change. What is the plan of the city lord?"
"And you?"
"I still want to hear what the City Lord wants first!"
"How about we write down our thoughts and see if they are the same?"
"OK!"
The two of us turned around and wrote our thoughts on the city wall with low gravel, and then covered it up. After one, two, three, we let go together. Although the two people wrote different things, the meaning was the same. Vida wrote "Capture the thief first, capture the king first", I wrote only two words "Behead"!
The two of them laughed after reading each other's words. "I thought we'd go together!" I patted Vida on the shoulder. "Who do you want to go?"
"I'm definitely inseparable! But this kind of action must be carried out by experts and strive to kill with one blow. I'm afraid only my four brothers in the whole city are suitable for it!"
"Tell them to come here now!" Such an important task must be explained clearly.
Four death knights rushed over quickly. "Brother, what's going on? Oh! The city lord is here too!"
"I've come to see you with a mission!" Vader pressed the four of them against the wall. "The Lord of the City just used the Eye of Hell to scout the enemy's rear, and found out that the enemy has something similar to a command system. There should be one or several high-level monster commanders there."
"You don't want us to take them away, do you?" A death knight named Rafaela immediately guessed what we meant.
Another Death Knight, Renault, sounded unexpectedly firm. "Boss! We are knights, not killers! Did we do the sneak attack from behind?"
The third knight spoke. Her name was Sith, and she was the only female among the five! "As Death Knights, harvesting lives is our obligation, but we have our own habits!"
The last Death Knight is called Aman. He is older physically: "I am willing to carry out this mission, but it is up to me to decide how to do it!"
Vader took a deep breath. I knew he was about to start training, but I spoke first. "I agree, no matter how you do it, as long as you complete the mission in the end!" Now that I see that command post, it is a thorn in my side. As long as I can pull it out, I don't care how you do it!
Under Vader's threat, the other three Death Knights finally agreed to attack, but they decided to let the last Death Knight take command and fight according to his wishes!
I kindly asked the Death Knight: "Do you need me to send you out now? The ship is in the port, and the river is still under our control!"
"No need, we will figure it out tomorrow!" Although the knight agreed to attack, it was obvious that he didn't like my decision. Knights all have brain problems, whether it is the Temple of Light or Darkness, their knights are not normal! The death knights of the Dark Temple don't care how many people they kill. Even if I ask them to massacre the city and kill all the old, weak, women and children they see, they won't care. But the word sneak attack is in the dictionary of all knights. nonexistent!
The next time is to arrange some messy little things. Managing a city is definitely not as simple as it seems! In order to ensure that the 8-hour battle would not be affected, I calculated the time and went offline again. Before going online again, I solved all possible interference problems, and then went online on time. The time is now 11:50 noon. I am standing on the top of the city wall. All the players in our guild behind me have arrived. The monsters leaning against the first city wall in front have also stood up again. The war is about to begin again!
The system announcement rang again: "The second siege is about to begin. This battle will last for 9 hours, and the attack intensity will also be increased. I hope everyone will continue their efforts! The 30-second countdown begins now,), (,..., 3, 2, 1, the battle begins!”
Almost at a moment's notice, the first salvo of the magic crystal cannon knocked down a large area of the monsters that had just been prepared! At first, I was a little dissatisfied with the design of Essinger's fort. All (0 magic crystal cannons) were mounted on the second city wall in the middle. Only now do I know how important this is. If they were all placed On the outer wall, I don’t even know what to use for defense now!
At the beginning of the battle, yesterday's monster paving phenomenon resumed. A large number of monsters rushed under the city wall and began to attack the city wall. However, today's main force is no longer wild boar warriors. Yesterday's battle has basically made them extinct. Today's main force is 450 A level vine troll. These things grow like a big moving tree, and their arms are natural big hammers, specially used to smash city walls!
"Attention, demon pupil guards, change rockets!" Vader's order was absolutely timely and correct. The Vinewood Troll is like a pile of moving firewood, catching fire at the first sight!
After easily killing the Fujiki Troll, the troops behind started to have trouble. The Cyclops who had made great achievements yesterday finally rushed forward, but this time we were well prepared! The Eye of Hell, which originally used a giant beam to play on fire in the pile of monsters, suddenly extinguished the beam, and then hundreds of thin orange beams of light rained down almost at the same time. The light rain showed no sign of thinning, and was emitted in one wave after another. After being baptized by the light rain, the monsters found that they were unscathed, but soon they discovered that all the charging Cyclops had fallen down, and each one had the same injury. They all had the only huge eye on their head. It was burned into a big hole.
I really didn't expect the Eye of Hell's shooting speed to be so exaggerated, and its accuracy to be so good! Everyone was shocked when they saw the Cyclops who had lost the first city wall yesterday rushing up again, but in the blink of an eye all the Cyclops fell to the ground with smoke coming from their heads!
My job has been changed. The thunder cannon on the Juling Tower has been handed over to Rose. As a super human shield, I can't bear to let my wife take risks on the city wall, so I sent her to the Juling Tower to control the thunder cannon for me. , Bingbing continued to suppress the enemy with his requiem at the top of the tower! I went directly to the city wall to join the battle. My attack power is so high, it would be a waste not to come up and fight!
After the Cyclops was killed, I turned to the four Death Knights and said, "You can start!"
I originally thought that they would leave the city wall immediately and go elsewhere to assassinate the opponent's leader, but to my surprise, they left the city, but they jumped directly from the city wall! Originally, I was worried that they would be knocked flat, but a few simple wind magics solved the problem! Instead of worrying about them getting smashed into patties I start worrying about their mission. If you jump from here, you will jump into a pile of monsters. What is the difference between this and death?
In my worry, the four guys landed lightly, and the monster next to them rushed forward without hesitation. The first one to land was Aman. He specially took two single-edged swords today, one on each side of his left hand. This posture was about to kill! Sure enough, as soon as he landed, when a monster rushed up, he used his right foot as a fulcrum, turned his body behind the monster, and then struck with a knife. This process sounds complicated, but he completed it very quickly. I only saw his silhouette blur, and then there was a golden flash, and the monster turned into two halves from the middle and fell to both sides!
The golden light didn't just flash once. In fact, it started flashing continuously from the moment Aman landed. I could only see a piece of golden light flickering and moving into the distance, with only fragments behind it!
The beautiful Miss Sisi is even more terrifying. She uses a two-handed heavy sword. Usually women do not become knights. Even if they become knights, they rarely use heavy weapons. But she did use it, and she actually used it. The heavy sword with a handle as long as hers looks like feathers! I could only see brilliant red flashes dancing like jumping flames as they followed Aman, but she also left countless body fragments around her.
The two Death Knights who landed at the same time were not very fast. Rafaela used a halberd. It was rare to see knights using this thing before, but obviously Rafaela was special. It seems that he moves the slowest among the four, but in fact he kills the most enemies. The reason is very simple, because the halberd is particularly long. No matter how he dances, this thing can always bring down a large number of monsters!
Renault was more steady. He was holding a machete with an extra-long blade. The broadsword with a faint green light looked very thin because it was too long, but its power was probably second only to Rafaela's halberd. Renault never took action and followed Rafaela closely to let him clear the way. If he couldn't help it, he would wave a knife seemingly casually, but the result was that everything within 50 meters of this straight line was neatly divided into two! What a terrifying sword energy. I wish I could play Holy Dragon Fang to this level!
The four Death Knights just fought their way out of the city under the astonished eyes of our players. Although the city was full of monsters, none of them could get close to them. Monsters less than level 750 could not even use their sword energy. If they can't stop them, some monsters that are rarely over level 750 can just rush in front of them, and then they will inevitably fly out in the 70s and 80s!
I have absolutely nothing to say, strength is strength!
As soon as I lose my focus, something happens around me. A scream made me turn around immediately, but what I saw was the shining white blade!
