Tang Zhen didn't know how many arrows he had shot. He didn't stop attacking until there was a strange and sharp sound in his ears, and the monsters attacking the city retracted into the ocean like a receding tide.
"The monster retreats!"
An unknown soldier nearby shouted loudly, and then a burst of cheers came from the city wall, which could be heard from a distance.
"We won, hahaha..."
The soldiers who were responsible for carrying the wooden box around him also had faces full of joy and high-fived each other.
It can be seen from their expressions and movements that they are obviously happy from the bottom of their hearts. It can be said that it is not easy to survive such a cruel battle to defend the city.
Every battle to defend the city may mean that you fall. It is undoubtedly a happy thing to be alive to see the enemy being repulsed.
The originally gloomy and depressing city wall now had a lot more chatter. The soldiers may have done this deliberately to dilute the shadow of death.
Unfortunately, death is not really far away, it is just retreating temporarily, and we don’t know when it will come again.
From Tang Zhen's perspective, it can be seen that among the mountains of corpses under the city wall, not only are they monsters, but from time to time, the remains of the soldiers who defended the city can also be seen.
They had no chance to celebrate their victory, but lay quietly in the middle of the monster's corpse. Just like those monsters, no one wanted to take a second look.
The soldiers guarding the city knew that watching too much would only make them bored, and maybe after a while, their bodies would be lying there.
Inside the city wall behind him, there was a flat field where the corpses of soldiers who were too injured to be saved were neatly placed.
Although they won the victory, the defending party also paid a heavy price.
There were a large number of injured people nearby. They looked at the corpses in silence, with only confusion and dullness in their eyes.
Covered in blood and motionless, he looked almost like a corpse.
They also know in their hearts that the war is far from over, and it won't be long before those monsters in the ocean will come back.
They are endless and they have been killed for who knows how many years, but they still show no sign of decreasing.
Over the long years, no one knows how many believers have rested here. It is not too much to say that this Great Wall is made of flesh and blood.
If the city wall was really built with corpses, it might be taller than the existing city wall. If you don't believe it, just look at the ocean in the distance. It has long been dyed by the river of blood, making it bright red and greasy.
The only thing worth celebrating is that countless believers have been summoned, and believers who have obtained passes arrive here every moment.
Otherwise, after just a few dozen battles, these defenders will be exhausted, and then the sea monster will march in and completely destroy the temple.
If something like that really happens, both faith and life will disappear.
Therefore, no matter how cruel the battle is, the believers will never retreat, but will fight for their lives and not retreat.
After discovering all this, Tang Zhen not only had some doubts in his heart, but did the so-called trial really exist?
The purpose of summoning believers to enter here may be to deal with sea monsters and use them as cannon fodder.
Of course, he only had suspicions, but did not have enough evidence to prove whether his guess was correct.
Presumably, after arriving at the temple, I can get more information I want to determine the truth.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't know. He just needs to retrieve his memory and figure out the purpose of coming here.
As for what the disappeared god was doing, for Tang Zhen, there was no difference between knowing or not knowing.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhen turned around and handed the rune war bow to the soldiers beside him. Although he used this weapon easily, it was not his own.
From the soldier's previous tone, it can be determined that this rune war bow is worth a lot of money. In this case, Tang Zhen will not win anyone's love.
If he wanted such a weapon, he could completely refine it himself, and the power it would possess would be higher than lower.
Putting aside the refining techniques, the rune array on the battle bow alone is several levels behind Tang Zhen's method, and its power is naturally incomparable.
The soldier took the war bow with a somewhat hesitant expression. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to want to leave the rune war bow to Tang Zhen.
After all, only in the hands of Tang Zhen can such a weapon exert its true power. If it falls into the hands of mediocre people, it will be nothing more than a decoration and furnishing at best.
However, soldiers have no such right, and even the commander on the city wall cannot make this decision.
If Tang Zhen really wanted it, he could redeem it with his military exploits. Only in that case could he convince everyone.
"Substitute people for defense, clean the battlefield, and repair the steam ballista at the same time. The speed will be faster!"
The officer on the high platform gave the order again, glanced at Tang Zhen, and nodded to him.
Tang Zhen followed the soldiers, walked down the steps from the city wall, and came to a group of barracks.
Many soldiers walked to the sink, poured water over their heads, and washed away the bloody residue on their bodies.
Some soldiers were so exhausted that they fell asleep directly after returning to their barracks.
Most of the soldiers were sitting on chairs, cleaning and bandaging their wounds while waiting for their meals.
Not far from the barracks, there were long iron troughs, and a cook was taking out pieces of fresh meat and throwing them into the iron nests for cooking.
The condiments are handfuls of weed-like things that are simply washed and waited for, exuding a rich flavor.
Tang Zhen squinted his eyes and observed, and found that the color and texture of the fresh meat were somewhat familiar, and there seemed to be a lot of them under the city wall.
"What is this, the flesh from a monster?"
After hearing Tang Zhen's words, an old soldier around him immediately replied: "This is indeed the meat from the monster. Don't feel disgusted. In fact, this kind of stuff tastes very delicious.
At the beginning, no one knew that sea monster meat could be eaten, and the bodies were simply incinerated or thrown back into the sea.
It wasn't until one battle was so fierce that the starving soldiers grabbed the roasted sea monster carcass and ate it. Only then did they realize that the sea monster meat tasted particularly delicious.
After this incident, sea monster meat has become one of the most popular foods. It is delicious and can replenish physical strength.
It's a pity that this kind of food is best eaten when it's fresh, and it can't be stored at all, otherwise you can enjoy delicious meat every day.
So if you want to eat sea monster meat, you must first get a deal with the sea monster here, otherwise you won’t be able to eat it.”
When the old soldier said this, everyone around him laughed.
For them, after killing the attack of the sea monster, they can enjoy the sea monster meat, which is definitely a comfortable and refreshing thing.
After hearing the old soldier's explanation, Tang Zhen nodded lightly and didn't think there was anything wrong.
Fights between different races are often life-and-death battles. After killing the enemy, it is also quite common for them to devour their flesh and blood.
I believe that if given the chance, those sea monsters would never let go of the soldiers' corpses and would also devour them as food.
In fact, this is actually better, as the monster's corpse can be used more effectively, instead of being buried and discarded as a pile of putrid meat.
Once a plague breaks out, it will make things worse, and the threat is not much worse than the monsters in the ocean.
After thinking for a while, Tang Zhen asked the old soldier: "How often will these sea monsters launch attacks? If I want to earn more military exploits, are there any other ways?"
Tang Zhen didn't want to waste too much time, so he eagerly wanted to get more meritorious deeds so that he could redeem his memory fragments.
Before he understands the specific situation, he will act according to the rules, wait until he seizes the opportunity, and then adapt to the situation according to the situation.
Even with memory loss, his goal has not changed, which is to take the opportunity to improve his strength and make himself stronger.
