Chapter two thousand and eighty-five sea monsters attack
Seeing those sea monsters being shot and killed one after another without even a chance to rush over, the faces of the recruits were full of excitement.
The fear of sea monsters that I originally had in my heart had long since disappeared, and I even felt that sea monsters were nothing more than this.
Looking at the weapons in their hands, they felt like they couldn't put it down.
Obviously everyone knows that without these weapons, the battle would not be so easy.
Veteran Youzi, who originally thought that he would find a way to protect himself in case of danger, was dumbfounded at this moment.
If this situation continues, they may not be able to gain any merit at all until the end of the battle.
Not getting any military merit means cutting off the source of income, and you can't even expect to get any items from the temple.
"This battle can't be fought, so we are just allowed to watch from the sidelines?"
The veterans, who never suffered any loss, immediately found Sun Jun and wanted an explanation.
Although he is a little afraid of Sun Jun's methods, he still has to fight for the rights he deserves, otherwise he will only suffer the loss.
As a result, Sun Jun told them that the merits for killing monsters would be distributed uniformly after the war, and would also be increased or decreased based on individual performance.
The more capable people work, the more military exploits will be allocated to them.
Even if you don't operate weapons or kill sea monsters with your own hands, as long as you participate in the battle, you will still receive corresponding military merits after the battle is over.
At the same time, Sun Jun also warned those veterans, You Zi, not to think that unified distribution can be cheating and cheating. He will always patrol the city wall and take note of everyone's performance.
Once he finds someone who dares to be passive and slack in battle, he will record it and wait until the battle merit is distributed before dealing with it.
If Lao Laoyouzi wants to cause trouble, he will never be polite.
After hearing Sun Jun's words, these veterans said nothing more because the other party's explanation was clear enough.
Returning to their respective teams, these veterans seemed to be a new person, their eyes fixed on the sea ahead.
At this moment, like the new recruits, they began to hope that more sea monsters would come. These sporadic wild monsters could no longer satisfy their appetite.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this mode, which does not require close combat with sea monsters but can allocate combat merit, is indeed much more comfortable than before.
The atmosphere on the city wall also became more relaxed, and everyone would chat at the top of their lungs from time to time, estimating how many sea monsters they could kill.
This state of being dedicated to fighting is very rare in other defense areas, especially in high-risk defense areas. It has never been the case before.
Under normal circumstances, believers avoid attacks from sea monsters. After all, every battle will cause a large number of casualties.
In the final analysis, it was guns and weapons that gave them confidence, and their desire for military success outweighed their fear of sea monsters.
The gunshots on the city wall continued to ring out, and sea monsters were shot one after another. There were only a few monsters in the ocean.
A layer of blood-red greasy foam has accumulated on the seawater on the shore. The corpses of sea monsters are spread from the shore to the ocean, rising and falling with the waves.
The sea water was even brighter red and exuded a pungent smell of blood that could be smelled from a long distance away.
Although the believers killed a large number of sea monsters in this short period of time, once they were divided evenly, each person would not get much merit at all.
It seems that only a real attack by the sea monster army will provide enough combat merit. Although it will bear huge risks, the rewards are also satisfying.
"What's going on? If we had made such a big noise according to the habits of those monsters, they would have launched an attack long ago?"
An old veteran, Youzi, looked at the ocean in front of him with a look of confusion on his face. He seemed to be confused as to why no monster legion appeared for so long?
The same goes for other believers. They haven't seen more monsters appear for a long time, which makes them feel inexplicably agitated.
Just as the believers were talking about it, a black line suddenly appeared slowly in the distance where the sea and the sky met.
The lookout sentry responsible for observing the enemy's situation immediately issued a warning, and then heard the dull sound of war drums coming from the temple.
The sound of the war drums meant that the sea monster army was coming. The believers who had been doubtful before immediately became excited and nervous.
They tried their best to keep their eyes wide open and constantly observed the intersection of sea and sky, trying to see how big the sea monster was.
At this moment, pieces of things that looked like sails suddenly appeared in front of us, like a giant fleet of ships pushing sideways.
"Oh my god, how could it be such a monster? I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble now!"
"That's right, the number of monsters must be at least hundreds of thousands, maybe even more!"
When the veterans saw this sail-like object, they all showed shocked expressions and seemed a little incredible.
When the recruits nearby saw this, they immediately asked in a nervous tone, wanting to know the origin of this sea monster.
Veteran Youzi didn't hide anything, and immediately told the recruits next to him the origin of this sea monster.
What looks like a sail is actually the dorsal fin of a giant sea beast. Their size is so huge that it can be compared to a moving island.
The main function of giant sea monsters is to deliver sea monsters to the shore to prevent them from losing their physical strength due to long distance travel.
The sea monster's base camp is located in the deep sea, and it moves frequently to avoid being discovered by believers and being targeted by the temple.
While shouldering the task of transportation, the giant sea beast itself also has a strong attack power. Its dorsal fin can spray acid slime balls to attack city walls in the ocean.
This kind of acidic slime ball is extremely corrosive, and it is difficult to recover from a wound infection. If it is not treated in time, it can even cause the body to fester directly.
Once this happens, believers can only pay for the war and rely on the healing function of the temple to help them heal.
Since the giant sea beast's attack capabilities are hard to guard against and it also carries a large number of sea monsters, most veterans don't want to see it appear.
The main reason is that it feels extremely aggrieved to be beaten but have no power to fight back.
In fact, in the temple, there are also weapons that can launch long-range attacks, and they are quite powerful.
If you want to start a long-range strike, you need to pay a certain amount of merit in the defense zone, and then the temple will launch a beam attack.
Under this kind of light beam similar to the rune circle, no matter how powerful the monster is, it will be instantly reduced to ashes.
However, the attack range of the beam rune array is only one kilometer in diameter, so how to choose the attack location is a very critical matter.
The entire attack process needs to be controlled by the commander. As for how many monsters can be killed in one attack and whether the cost can be recovered, it all depends on luck.
The problem is that when using this kind of attack, you are at a critical moment of life and death, so even if you lose money, you have to do it bravely.
As for the battle merit consumed by the attack, it actually does not belong to the believers, but the battle merit gained by the defense zone itself.
This kind of military exploits cannot be used by believers and can only be used to upgrade temples, exchange for city defense weapons, and materials and daily consumables needed to repair city walls.
If the loss is too large, the temple will automatically downgrade, causing some items to no longer be redeemable.
If you want to redeem it again, you can only work hard to kill the sea monster, and then increase the level of the temple again.
Although many believers complained about this, they simply could not violate the rules set by the Great Temple.
"What are you afraid of? We have guns and cannons, so we can practice with these sea monsters!"
Sun Jun's voice sounded, and the believers on the city wall laughed immediately after hearing it.
"Yes, kill these sea monsters!"
A recruit yelled excitedly, and someone nearby immediately echoed, roaring one after another.
The same was true for those veterans, Youzi. Although they were shocked by the number of sea monsters, they were no longer as panicked as before.
I just don't know if those artillery pointed at the sky can cause damage to this giant sea beast, or even kill it directly.
If this can really be achieved, then the military merit gained from killing the giant sea beast will probably make all believers smile with joy.
