Chapter two thousand sixty-seven city head blocking
On the dilapidated city top, there were already corpses strewn on the ground, and the blood had already been covered with a thick layer after years of accumulation.
While fighting, soldiers continued to use hooks to drag away the monster's corpses and throw them into the black holes on the edge of the city wall.
The purpose of this is mainly to prevent the ground from being too cluttered and affecting the soldiers fighting.
At the same time, you can also collect various materials from the corpses of monsters, such as the outer skin as hard as iron, to make quite good armor.
Even the armor Tang Zhen was assigned was made of this monster leather as its main material, with enhanced protection in key areas.
During the battle, the ground became sticky because it was soaked in blood and sea water, causing the boots and pants of the guarding soldiers to be covered with blood and mud.
An indescribable fishy smell penetrated my nostrils, making me feel extremely nauseous.
However, with the enemy now, no one cares about this at all, because on the rocky beach under the city wall in front, ferocious monsters are climbing up one after another.
The soldiers' throats had long been hoarse, and they opened their mouths to let out silent roars. At the same time, they waved their spears and knives, stabbing and slashing at the monsters.
These monsters were either covered in crude fish-bone giant shell armor, or had no protection at all.
However, the black scales on their bodies are as hard as metal. Unless they attack with all their strength, it is impossible to cut through the monster's scales with one strike.
The problem is that when fighting, it is a taboo to use all your strength, because this will leave you with no energy left to dodge, and it will consume a lot of physical strength.
Those soldiers obviously knew this, so when they attacked, they did not swarm them all, but looked after each other and cooperated with each other, and fought in batches.
After these soldiers defend for a period of time, another group of prepared soldiers will rush forward and replace the exhausted ones.
There is a reserve team at the back. When someone falls down and cannot participate in the battle, there will be a reserve team to replace the vacancy, always maintaining the integrity of the direction.
Every hundred meters or so on the city wall, there are taller buildings that look a bit like beacon towers.
On the top of the high platform, there is a huge and strange piece of equipment, which is operated by several soldiers at the same time.
On the surface of these huge devices, there are rings of rune arrays flashing with light, as if a pot is boiling, and smoke and steam are continuously rising.
In front of this equipment, there is a tube similar to a roller machine gun, which shoots sharp arrows towards the bottom of the city wall.
These half-foot-long special arrows are extremely sharp and can fly as far as three hundred meters, knocking down sea monsters washed ashore in pieces.
However, these devices cannot transmit continuously and must take a break every ten minutes or so.
At this time, the soldiers will refill the consumed sacred stones, and then the equipment will be like a boiling pot, with rolling steam rising.
The moment Tang Zhen climbed onto the city wall, a group of soldiers withdrew and collapsed directly on the ground.
Almost every one of these soldiers was injured, and there were a lot of vacancies in the long queue due to battle losses.
"Replacement soldiers will be added immediately, faster!"
An officer on the tower shouted loudly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was shot by a fishbone spear thrown from the city wall.
The officer tilted his body and fell directly from the tower. He was then picked up by someone with all hands and feet and sent to the bottom of the city wall for treatment.
After the officer fell, someone quickly took his place and continued to direct the battle on the top of the city.
As soon as Tang Zhen climbed onto the city wall, he was pushed to join the queue of substitutes, waiting for the next change of guard.
In this chaotic battlefield, no one cares whether you are a newcomer or a veteran. If you die, you can only blame your own bad luck.
Tang Zhen noticed that a dozen newcomers like him were also sent directly to the city and joined the preliminary team.
There was confusion and confusion on their faces. Apparently they had not realized before that they would directly step into a bloody and cruel battlefield!
The fighting was still going on. It was only ten meters away from where Tang Zhen was, and the bloody fighting scene could be clearly seen through the human wall.
In the tense and depressing atmosphere, a dull drum sound suddenly sounded, and then the waiting soldiers immediately started to move forward like machines after hearing the sound.
When the second drum sound came, the soldiers who were fighting in front were already ready to retreat.
The third time the drum sounded, the soldiers who were fighting in front suddenly retreated, while the soldiers who took over the battle rushed forward and continued to fight with the monsters.
There were several monsters in front of Tang Zhen, wielding strange weapons, and they took advantage of the moment of switching defenses to rush forward.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these monsters took a step, their heads soared into the sky, and their slippery, cold, headless corpses collapsed to the ground.
While the other soldiers were still fighting, the area in front of Tang Zhen had cleared up, and there was no longer a monster.
When the soldiers next to him saw this, not only did they lose their sight, but this moment was a critical moment in a life-and-death fight. A slight oversight could lead to loss of life, so no one dared to be distracted.
After Tang Zhen killed the monster with one blow, he ignored the surprised looks in others' eyes and took a fierce step forward, rushing directly to the edge of the city wall.
He had already made up his mind to accumulate the most combat points in the shortest time, and then go to the temple to see what secrets there were.
But one thing is certain, the strength of the gods who established countless divine kingdoms must be far greater than that of Tang Zhen.
Therefore, before clarifying the specific situation, Tang Zhen will never act rashly to avoid complications.
The closer to the final step, the more cautious he needs to be, so he has made up his mind to follow the rules here in odd and even situations and achieve his goals step by step.
Whether you are redeeming various rewards or obtaining sealed memory fragments, you need sufficient military merit, so this is the most important step.
In fact, to fight against such a monster, Tang Zhen did not need to use all his strength at all, it was just like chopping melons and vegetables.
Because of Tang Zhen's presence, the pressure on the soldiers around him was greatly reduced, and they looked at him with a hint of gratitude in their eyes.
Although the more enemies you kill on the battlefield, the more military merit you get, but killing enemies also means that you may be killed by the enemy at any time.
It would be great if you could kill the enemy calmly and ensure your own safety.
Tang Zhen killed so many people that the monsters found it extremely difficult to attack him and started throwing bone spears and stones in an attempt to kill him.
After putting up a protective barrier to resist the attacks, Tang Zhen glanced at the long wooden box next to him and reached out to grab it from the distance.
The box contained more than a dozen war bows and bundles of feathered arrows, probably tens of thousands of them in total.
The wooden box seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope and flew down in front of Tang Zhen. Immediately afterwards, he was seen grabbing a long bow inside and holding an arrow at the same time.
The right hand is like a phantom, constantly drawing arrows and shooting, and the arrows never leave the monsters' eye sockets.
The monster corpses under the city wall fell to the ground, and the arrows penetrated their heads, killing them directly.
Tang Zhen had noticed before that not many people used bows and arrows on the city wall.
Firstly, it's because when fighting monsters, it's basically close combat, and bows and arrows are of no use at all.
Secondly, it is also because the monster's body is covered with scales, so it is impossible to effectively kill the monster unless it hits its vital parts.
Especially in a chaotic battlefield environment, soldiers simply cannot calm down to aim and shoot at the vital points of monsters, so few people use bows and arrows to kill enemies.
It was placed on the top of the city for the convenience of soldiers, but no one paid any attention to it.
At this time, Tang Zhen's precision and speed of killing monsters left the soldiers dumbfounded. Their eyes looked at him as if they were looking at a terrifying monster.
