Chapter 198 The War Begins, Goblin Must Die [Subscribe]
The southern outpost is only a few kilometers away from the outer defense line.
In fact, the integration efficiency of the monsters is much higher than everyone imagined.
This situation shows that there is definitely a leader among the monsters who can suppress everything.
Maybe it is the fierce dragon, or maybe it is other high-level monsters that descended from the void channel.
For everyone in Magtan City, this is not good news.
After the scouts gave the warning, everyone on the city wall immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
Warriors holding various styles of shields blocked the front line.
Looking around, there are round shields, square shields, zither-shaped shields and even small arm shields.
Different shields have formed the same formation at this moment.
Each shield surface is filled with the brilliance of magic elements.
There are also backup shield warriors on standby in the back row.
In addition, those melee warriors holding various cold weapons stand quietly behind the wall.
They will be responsible for launching close-range strangulation when the monsters approach.
Anyway, the first wave of attacks is unlikely to be for the warriors who are screaming.
The main force in the early stage still has to rely on the crossbow shooters and spellcasters.
There are many places on the temporary wall where low-level rune shield carts are placed.
The defense ability of this shield cart is not very high, but it can also serve as a cover.
A blue gem as big as a coconut is placed on a wooden tower not far behind the crowd.
With the cooperation of many second-level spellcasters, this gem is emitting a soft glow to the surrounding hundreds of meters.
The spellcaster bathed in this glow can obtain a certain degree of mental recovery effect, which is equivalent to indirectly extending the ability to output spells.
"Click!"
Pull the bolt and release the bolt safety.
Chen Xuan and the two women are also ready to shoot.
Time passed quickly, and just when everyone was ready, the second horn was blown.
"Woo woo woo~"
The melodious horn sound echoed in the air.
It was like a dirge.
Death is destined to bloom here, either stained with blood or demon blood.
At this time, everyone could already see the monster group that was like a black tide.
They stopped about two or three kilometers away from the outer defense line of the south city.
There was an open area there, which was very suitable for gathering.
The dark group of monsters was divided into twelve square formations under the gaze of everyone.
From a distance, it looked like a creeping fungus blanket, which made people's scalps numb.
And there were a large number of flying monsters hovering in the air, and when they gathered in the air, they looked like a gauze net.
Chen Xuan placed two M2 heavy machine guns on the wall pier in front of him, took out a pair of binoculars and aimed at the monster gathering place in the distance.
Due to the poor light, not many details could be seen, and the place where the lens swept was a large black mass.
The square formations were formed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, a crooked square formation marched towards the southern defense line.
Behind this square formation, there were more than a dozen large monsters that looked like rhinos.
It was not until they advanced a distance that the second and third monster square formations slowly caught up, and another small group of flying monsters followed behind like a swarm of bees.
Chen Xuan put away the telescope, his expression slightly solemn.
Using [Time Slow Walk], he, who was well-read in "poetry and books", easily saw through the monsters' plans through the battle examples recorded in the classics.
This is a typical cannon fodder tactic.
First send out a frontier battle group composed of low-level monsters to test the defense strength.
It can be understood as being sent to "step on mines".
After the test is completed, the remaining monsters will follow up with all their forces and cooperate with the high-level monsters to carry out a spring-like siege.
Magtan City is square, and the terrain in four directions has natural limitations.
For example, in the southern part of the city, in addition to the hundreds of meters of open land that was specially cleared in front, there are swamps and woods on both sides. This terrain allows the defenders to play the effect of funnel tactics.
The monsters cannot disperse, and can only concentrate in a fixed area in the shape of a gourd to launch an attack.
"Wu Longlong..."
The ground trembled slightly.
Tens of thousands of monsters launched a cluster charge.
They quickly crossed this distance and entered the 800-meter area boundary.
The goblin phalanx was used as cannon fodder.
These ugly green-skinned monsters had pustules all over their faces. Among them were goblin swordsmen holding rusty machetes, goblin warriors holding square wooden shields and short spears, and tall bear goblins holding big sticks.
There were also a large group of goblin archers holding short wooden bows in the back.
There were a small number of shamans mixed in.
However, the fastest ones were the night shadow wolf cavalry.
At this moment, these despicable lower-level monsters were jumping up and down excitedly, saliva dripping from the crooked corners of their mouths, their eyes glowing red, and they were fearlessly rushing towards the outer defense line of Magtan City.
The ground was trampled with a "rumbling" sound, which looked very powerful.
Under the cover of the [Dark Mandala] light curtain, the monsters were as crazy as they were on a moonlit night.
Looking at the surging goblin group, the kitten girl Rebecca seemed to have remembered some bad memories, and her face turned pale.
Ophelia, who had tied up her blonde hair, was fearless and raised the muzzle of the gun early.
Chen Xuan twisted his neck, moved his arms, and then grabbed the two machine guns again.
"Don't be afraid, it's time to make these dirty bugs pay."
He gave Rebecca an encouraging look.
Thinking of the adventurers who were tortured to death, the little cat girl's expression finally became firm.
There were more than a thousand Night Shadow Wolf Cavalry running in the front. When they entered the thorny area, their speed slowed down a lot.
"Huga! Huga! Huga!"
They roared like panting, and moved forward without stopping with crazy smiles on their faces.
"Swish!"
"Wooah!"
The sound of the strong string reverberated, and the crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm shot out from the city crossbow.
Wrapped in the light blue wind spirit magic, the speed quickly rose to the extreme!
Accompanied by the goblin's screams of pain, the crossbow arrow passed through the chest of the goblin wolf cavalry at the forefront.
And then penetrated the straight line of about 80 to 90 meters behind it.
All the goblins along the way would be almost torn apart after being hit.
Black blood fell, and flesh and blood attached to green skin splashed everywhere.
The chaotic magic power that protected the low-level monsters was almost destroyed in an instant.
A series of thick crossbow arrows shot into the goblin cluster can produce the effect of plowing the flesh and blood.
The attack of the city crossbow is also a signal, opening the prelude to Magtan City's counterattack.
The crossbow shooters and rangers shot arrows blessed by magic elements one after another.
These arrows are still powerful even after crossing a distance of two or three hundred meters, forming a dazzling rain of arrows, pouring down on the goblin cluster.
"Fire!"
He calculated the power of 12.7×99 mm ammunition and evaluated the best firing distance.
And now is the best time to shoot!
Chen Xuan shot left and right, grabbed the rear grip of two M2 heavy machine guns with one arm, and pressed the V-shaped butterfly trigger on the receiver.
This is the embodiment of brute force, making him comparable to a human mecha.
"Da Da Da!"
The gun flames vented unscrupulously from the muzzle, and two flashes of orange-red light illuminated his face.
The tracer bullets in the ammunition formed two light chains and swung out in a slight arc.
Hit the Night Shadow Wolf cavalry at the front line fiercely.
12.7 caliber ammunition, each one is as thick as a thumb.
Both the charge and the muzzle kinetic energy are not comparable to small and medium caliber rifle bullets.
As low-level monsters, the Night Shadow Wolf and the Goblin have little chaotic magic to protect their bodies. Under the bombardment of heavy machine gun bullets, they were first restrained by the kinetic energy, and then the huge bullets penetrated their bodies, leaving a bowl-like hole.
The steaming bullet holes were thrown out from both sides, and the ammunition belt was fed progressively from the back box.
Under the pressure of the gunpowder gas in the chamber, the barrel and the bolt recoiled at the same time.
But this little recoil is not worth mentioning for Chen!
After he opened fire, the little cat girl Rebecca also gritted her teeth, held the gun and pulled the trigger.
The light chain swept out like a long whip, swinging into the goblin group behind the Night Shadow Wolf Cavalry.
The little cat girl was full of hatred for these ugly and evil monsters.
"The goblins must die!"
The release of ammunition made her feel inexplicably excited. The petite cat girl holding a heavy machine gun brought a sharp contrast.
She licked her lips as if she could taste blood.
The calmest one was Ophelia. She calmly fired in semi-automatic mode, accurately firing a series of bursts like popcorn.
After all, it was a heavy machine gun that had set a sniper record. In semi-automatic mode, the accuracy was amazing.
In addition, Ophelia's physique could fully control this noisy firepower monster, and it was 120 % of its performance.
The four light chains became the most beautiful scenery on the temporary city wall defense line.
The violent firepower was many times stronger than those arrows.
After the three people opened fire, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.
Wherever the light chain swept, the goblins' flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they became a pool of minced meat under the bombardment of large-caliber ammunition.
Broken limbs, broken bodies, and broken heads were everywhere, and it was difficult to distinguish them.
They fell from the back of the Night Shadow Wolf with a howl, and then were torn to pieces in the barrage.
In the face of such amazing firepower, the mighty goblins The goblin swarm was like a piece of rag being cut by a sharp knife!
In addition, arrows and various magics also rained down.
A real death isolation zone was formed.
Occasionally, scattered night shadow wolf cavalry rushed to the wall, but before they could jump up, they were pierced through the head by the spears piercing from the gaps in the shield.
The low-level goblins were as crisp as biscuits, and the situation changed slightly until the stronger bear goblins advanced to the front line.
They lowered their heads, protected their heads with clubs and arms, and rushed forward regardless of everything.
Under such circumstances, groups of bear goblins finally rushed to the wall, hitting the wall made of wood and stone.
Although they eventually died under the wall, their strong bodies raised the ground below.
This is a ladder to victory built with flesh and blood.
The goblin archers kept shooting with short wooden bows, throwing out smaller rains of arrows.
Most of the wooden arrows were blocked by the shield wall, and only a few could pass over the top of the wall.
These goblin archers could only shoot two or three arrows on average before they died under the attack of the defenders.
The originally tangled thorny ground was filled with the flesh and blood of monsters in a blink of an eye.
At the same time, the rhino-like giant monsters that followed the goblin group behind also stopped.
They were six or seven meters long, with limbs like thick elephant feet, and they were as still as a mountain when they landed firmly.
The heads of these giant beasts were like rhinos, and their backs were covered with a layer of back shells similar to pangolins.
When they stood still, the back shells moved interspersedly, and a tubular cavity emerged from the spine.
In just a moment, these cavities accumulated manic chaotic magic power, and finally condensed into black light balls the size of basketballs.
Each light ball was surrounded by black smoke, and it shot out after accumulating power.
There was no sound, only a dozen black light balls shot to the back in a parabolic trajectory.
When they were about to fall, light curtains of different colors rose up.
The light ball exploded when it hit the light curtain, rippling circles of ripples, and the violent chaotic magic power dissipated everywhere until it turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared.
The attack was successfully resisted, but then the giant beasts shot out rounds of black light balls.
And as time went by, the other two monster phalanxes in the back also arrived at the battlefield one after another.
The headless stone demon covered with stone skin grabbed the stone bullets, and the eyes on the chest locked the front. They cooperated with the light ball monster and threw stone bullets one by one.
The simple wooden wall of the Colo Leon Farm was destroyed by stone bullets.
When the goblin cannon fodder army was suffering damage and was quickly wiped out.
The long-range offensive of the monsters was also being deployed in full swing.
In addition to the light ball monster and the headless stone demon, there were hundreds of eye demons secretly surrounding them.
They stretched out their crimson meridian tentacles to connect with each other.
Then the giant eyes flashed, and beams of light shot out.
A three-meter-tall, third-order bull-headed demon holding a log shield formed a formation to block the scattered long-range attacks for them.
Chaotic magic extended along their body surface to the shield surface, greatly enhancing the defense of the wooden shield.
These light balls, stone bullets and beams continued to hit the colorful magic light curtains, and seemed to have no effect except for ripples.
But anyone with a discerning eye knew that these magic shields arranged on the temporary front line would not last long.
At this attack frequency, the shield's damage threshold would soon be reached.
At that time, the adventurers and mercenaries stationed inside and outside the city wall would face the long-range attacks of the monsters.
Fortunately, more than half of the goblin group was strangled in this short period of time.
Most of the monsters failed to advance to the vicinity of the city wall.
The corpses covered most of the gaps in the thorny land, making this place look like a quagmire flowing with dark flesh and blood.
