Chapter 197 The Arrival of the Monster Is Imminent [Subscribe Please]

The light column quickly solidified, revealing a dark and dark light.

From the city, it looked like a big hole in the sky.

The light column was like a black waterfall, pouring down to the earth.

Chen Xuan remained silent, and the whole city was silent.

At the same time, everyone looked at the light column that connected the sky and the earth.

After an unknown amount of time, the light column completely penetrated the void transmission channel and the ground.

The dark light wall began to flow with various cold-colored lights.

It looked cold and magnificent, as if it was covered with a layer of cold oil paint.

Under the attention of everyone, the side of the light column that connected to the void channel kept flashing large patches of gray light.

When the halo dissipated, a large number of monsters in clusters were revealed.

They slowly fell to the ground following the guidance of the light column.

The gray light flashed dozens of times in succession, guiding more than 100,000 monsters.

Under the illumination of this dim light, Magtan City, which was not very bright because of the dark mandala light curtain, became more cloudy, as if it was the evening when a thunderstorm was about to come.

The shadow of darkness was crushing every corner of the city.

The flames of torches and braziers were swaying, and the orange light around them became flickering.

It was not until the monsters had finished coming that the light column disappeared quickly with the naked eye.

The void transmission channel that had already taken shape in the sky returned to its state like a galaxy.

It stayed quietly in the distance, like a broken map, or like a different patch, stiffly attached in the air.

After the monsters came, a tsunami-like roar was set off dozens of kilometers away.

It was the excited howling of hundreds of thousands of different demons.

Huge pressure appeared in the hearts of everyone in the city.

At this moment, regardless of ethnicity, age, or gender, all living citizens have tied their fates together. This is a knot and a catastrophe!

Everyone felt the pressure of a landslide.

It goes without saying that the monsters will quickly form a team and then, under the leadership of the high-level intelligent demons, launch an attack on Magtan City. Seizing this fruit is the first meal after arriving in Naroa.

The adventurers and mercenary teams responsible for guerrilla warfare in the outer village defense line became even more agitated.

They all clenched their weapons, and the sweat from their palms left sweat stains on their weapons.

After emergency reinforcement, all the outer defense lines have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original thin wooden wall became a layer of "skin", and the garrison engineers, with the assistance of the earth caster, built a sandwich stone wall.

Two wooden walls are used as the "skin", and the smashed [ground spikes] are used as stones to fill it in.

Finally, [mud magic] is used to fill it, and [thorn growth] is used to solidify the barrier to increase additional defense.

In addition, a large number of magic and physical traps and roadblocks are laid on the main roads.

This move can buy time when retreating.

For this reason, many houses in the villages outside the city of Bang were demolished and used as materials.

With everyone cultivating magic essence, everyone is a strongman.

With the power of magic, the efficiency is naturally not low.

After all, this is a real mobilization of the whole city!

But even so, the mercenaries and adventurers are still nervous.

They all understand that their current position is "cannon fodder".

And the first wave of monsters will inevitably be the most tragic.

But everyone has no way out, and the association and the city hall of Bang City have promised a huge reward.

This makes the adventurers and mercenaries who are used to licking blood on the edge of a knife reluctantly accept the arrangement.

Under the magic disaster, when you can't stop it, it's useless to hide anywhere.

It's nothing more than the difference between dying early and dying late.

In this case, it's better to fight according to the arrangement.

As for the tall and sturdy tower in the third circle in the back, everyone wants to go up, but not everyone can go up.

Because the defense position is limited, it is natural to give priority to the garrison troops who can fight in a standardized manner.

Of course, there is no mandatory defense requirement for the outer defense zone.

When things are impossible, they can retreat at any time and return to the city to enter the second line of deployment.

At that time, all the pressure will be borne directly by the third circle of tower defense zone.

The defense forces deployed in the four directions of Magtan City are uneven.

The main defense areas are in the south and north lines.

The second is the east and west.

Therefore, the light cavalry battalion was not directly mobilized, but as a mobile force to respond to all parties at any time.

Even if the monsters attack in other directions, they can buy time for the city to deploy troops.

This plan was discussed by the City Hall, and Chen Xuan had no objection to it.

After all, it is better to maintain a certain degree of flexibility before the monsters launch an offensive.

More than 100,000 monsters are huge, but not enough to form a siege.

If they really attack from all sides, it will be the most arrogant and troublesome situation.

According to convention, the monsters will most likely choose a main attack direction after lining up and rush in one go.

As for the north of the city, it was not originally the main defense area, but was temporarily included after the appearance of the magic dragon.

Chen Xuan couldn't stay idle after all. He called the two women, formed a temporary team, and left the city along the rope ladder lowered from the city wall.

Headed to the outer defense line facing the south.

When necessary, he could activate [Same Domain Flash] at any time to quickly return to the city with the two women.

At the same time, on the northern tower, the female warrior Zerekan opened her eyes and turned to look south.

Then she turned around silently and looked at the garrisons around her who were waiting in full battle array.

She shook her head with a sigh.

"War is synonymous with death."

"But only war can witness such a united situation."

She thought in her heart, but she did not get up, but continued to close her eyes and breathe.

At the same time, she felt the rare artistic conception of war.

...

More than an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

The tense atmosphere became more and more intense.

During this period, the city hall sent out several light cavalry squads with heavy responsibilities. They obtained first-hand intelligence at the cost of more than half of the loss rate.

The snowflakes of letters brought this information to the city hall.

The temporary command center was formed by Baron Bessos, Grand Secretary Inaoji, and the chief officers and association leaders in the city. The sand table of the city was placed in the center, and everyone's expression was very tense.

Looking at the piece of paper with the information in his hand, Baron Bezos was silent.

All this information was obtained with the blood of the soldiers of the Light Cavalry Battalion.

In the face of the demonic disaster, the filth inside is not important.

"According to the report of the light cavalry team that went out for reconnaissance."

"The main force of the monsters gathered in large numbers in the plain area 63 kilometers south of Magtan City."

"The vanguard is less than ten kilometers away from Bang City."

"Currently, more than 27 types of main monsters have been observed, and the total number is estimated to be no less than 120,000!"

"In addition, the original uncleaned caves in the west and east are also gathering scattered monsters."

"The total number of monsters in a single direction is between 3,000 and 5,000."

"Finally, the team sent to the north of the city failed to send back information and was suspected to be wiped out!"

Baron Bezos repeated with some difficulty.

After he finished reading, the venue suddenly boiled.

"It is definitely a medium-sized void transmission channel."

"This type of channel can transmit more than 100,000 monsters every Naroya day!"

"You can imagine how much pressure our town will face next."

The first to speak was the old scholar Inaoji. He sighed and looked down at the star-moon school emblem on his chest.

He was greedy and had several wives, but this did not prevent him from pursuing knowledge and truth.

It did not prevent him from dying with everyone in the catastrophe of the demon disaster.

When he left home, Inaoji left a strong poison at home.

Rather than letting his family be abused and killed by monsters, it is better to take poison after the city is broken.

At this moment, Inaoji realized for the first time that knowledge could not save lives.

Even if he racked his brains, he could not think of a plan to smoothly survive the demon disaster.

It seems that only force can solve the problem, and it is also the most solid and reliable foundation.

"My brothers cannot die in vain."

"The Light Cavalry Battalion will defend Magtan City to the death!"

At this moment, Norman Weiner, the captain of the Light Cavalry Battalion, who was wearing leather light armor, suddenly stood up and said loudly.

His eyes were full of fierceness.

This guy is a middle-aged sergeant with a very tough style.

He is a typical grassroots person, and his parents are both poor people in the black streets of Magtan City.

He has been very talented since he was a child, so he was recruited by the Light Cavalry Battalion.

When Chen Xuan contracted him, he knew that the umbrella behind the garrison captain Sorel Moran who coveted him was a middle-level officer in the Light Cavalry Battalion.

Over the years, that officer condoned similar teams to do illegal work and made a lot of black money.

After Chen Xuan informed Norman of the situation, within half an hour, he came to the castle with a bloody head to apologize to him.

In fact, there are many such situations in the garrison and the Light Cavalry Battalion.

It's just that Chen Xuan didn't have time to sort them out one by one.

Otherwise, he only needed to use the ability of [Insight] to easily find out the criminals and termites in the team.

Now that the demonic disaster is approaching, it is not a good time to purge the team.

With him taking the lead, the chief officer of the garrison, Nigel Dora, also quickly expressed his opinion.

The atmosphere on the scene changed from anxiety to excitement of being ready to die.

"Quiet!"

Baron Besos patted the table, then picked up the command pole and pointed at the sand table.

There are many vertical chess pieces carved with wood on it.

There are coyotes representing mercenaries, hawks representing adventurers, mice representing black street forces, and war horses of the light cavalry battalion.

As for the garrison, the emblem of the state city is used instead.

"Currently, the south of the city is the main force of the defense zone."

"It gathers nearly four-tenths of the city's garrison troops, adventurers and mercenaries."

"The north of the city accounts for three-tenths of the troops."

"The second and first circles have one-tenth of the emergency garrisons."

"The defense zones in the east and west directions only have two-tenths of the troops in total."

"Based on the location where the monsters descended, those rotten shits have a very low probability of shifting the main attack direction. After all, a detour of 100 to 80 kilometers is enough to waste a lot of time."

Baron Besos summarized the situation.

It is not easy for hundreds of thousands of monsters to march and transfer quickly.

At least it will take several water clocks.

With that time, the garrison in the city would have completed the transfer first.

Given the efficiency gap, there is no need to worry too much about the monsters playing the trick of making a feint to the east and attacking the west.

"Then why don't we mobilize two-tenths of the troops and distribute them to the southern and northern defense zones?"

The speaker was the chief officer in charge of the city's internal affairs and the baron's deputy.

His proposal was quickly refuted.

"Until there is no exclusion of the existence of monsters that are good at dark witchcraft, the troops of the eastern and western defense zones must not be easily transferred."

"Some dark witchcraft or evil rituals can be transferred instantly."

"We have to be on guard."

The one who spoke was the chief officer of the garrison, who was obviously more familiar with the monster routines.

The scene immediately fell into a heated discussion.

This stage is the most exhausting.

Although everyone has the same goal, they have different ideas.

In the end, it was Baron Bezos who came forward to end it.

He used only one sentence to smooth over the dispute.

"The garrison ratio will not be changed for the time being."

"The main force of the light cavalry battalion is on standby in the third circle."

"This is the order of that lord..."

...

Just when the city hall was busy collecting intelligence from all parties and coordinating the situation of the whole city.

In the southern suburbs of Magtan City, most of the original villages were demolished.

The crowded and dirty village paths disappeared, replaced by a road full of traps and roadblocks.

The evacuation route has been arranged long ago.

The paths on both sides are a bit roundabout, but you only need to remember the route.

Such an arrangement can significantly reduce the speed of the monsters.

On the outermost "sandwich" stone wall, there are more than 20,000 adventurers and mercenaries waiting here.

In addition, there are about two or three hundred spellcasters wandering around the commanding heights inside the wall.

It was good enough to complete the mobilization in a hurry, and there was no way to plan for them.

So most of these adventurers stayed together in the form of a team.

Referring to the daily way of sweeping the magic cave, the companions who are good at close combat stood in front.

The crossbow archers and spellcasters stayed at the safer high point behind.

Within a hundred meters inside the stone wall, there were more than 17 wooden towers.

In addition, there were net bags filled with battering rams and rolling stones, as well as wooden barrels filled with slippery oil hanging on the wall.

The ground outside the wall was basically covered with tangled thorns.

There were also a large number of ground spikes scattered about one or two hundred meters away.

The power of magic gathered together was enough to change the terrain and create a buffer zone suitable for output.

Chen Xuan stood on the top of the wall with a belt box on his back and dual-wielding M2 heavy machine guns.

Beside him, two women also held an M2 heavy machine gun and were ready for battle.

After he released the power of a silver-level strongman, the adventurers and mercenaries around him withdrew their slightly covetous eyes and no longer looked at them wantonly.

There was noisy conversation in my ears, and the air became turbid because of the crowd.

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded!

"The monster vanguard is approaching the south city outpost!"

The sharp shouts echoed, and all the noise subsided instantly!

...
