The first thousand two hundred and forty-nine chapters
The task that Qian Zhongyun and the others received at the headquarters was to go to various defense zones to supervise operations to prevent the sea monster clan from taking the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
The monks who participated in the competition for the Lord of the Building City all accepted similar tasks, instead of letting them move freely as previously thought.
That would be too inefficient and may lead to unnecessary dangers. Although the participating monks are eager to perform their duties, they must not be allowed to act recklessly.
If something unexpected happens, the gain will outweigh the loss.
The command headquarters analyzed the sea monster clan's behavior and believed that the possibility of them launching a sneak attack was extremely high, so they made preparations to defend themselves against sneak attacks while heading to the deep sea for a decisive battle.
In addition to Qian Zhongyun and other Loucheng monks, there are also a large number of Loucheng monks from the Rift Territory. Their mission is also to go to major defense areas to supervise operations.
The monks in the two tower cities belonging to different war zones have more opportunities for contact and cooperation because of this war in the Kingdom of God.
The Holy Dragon War Zone has just emerged, and the Rift Territory has just been established. The gap between them is not very big.
In the days to come, there may not be such opportunities for cooperation, simply because the two theaters have different strengths, and the tasks they will come into contact with are definitely different.
This time, the Shenglong War Zone was engaged in coordinated operations. Because of Tang Zhen, they only came here to train troops and take advantage.
In addition to sending Loucheng monks to supervise the battle and guard against sea monsters taking advantage of the situation, the headquarters also made other arrangements.
Each light warship is on standby, and if the defense area is attacked by a sea monster, they will immediately provide support.
With the firepower possessed by these light warships, they can indeed annihilate a large number of sea monsters in a very short time, and they can be regarded as a powerful weapon for rescuing and annihilating enemies.
However, light battleships also have disadvantages, that is, their destructive power is not as good as that of heavy battleships, and their sustained firepower is insufficient.
It is indeed very effective against monsters that actively attack and land, but it is somewhat powerless against monsters in the ocean.
It is for this reason that light battleships were not sent to sea to participate in the battle, but stayed on land as mobile units.
Qian Zhongyun and the others came to the 745 Defense Area with great interest, ready to make contributions, but they did not expect that this so-called trouble-free defense area only had this few manpower.
Compared with the sea monster legions, which can easily number in the dozens or millions, the manpower in the defense area is barely enough. If they are really attacked, they may not be able to withstand even a wave of attacks.
At this time, Qian Zhongyun and the other two people really hoped that nothing happened in this trouble-free defense zone. Otherwise, it would not be an opportunity to make great achievements, but would be extremely unlucky.
If you want to make meritorious deeds, you must act according to your ability. If you are faced with a situation where you are destined to die, you must show off your ability. That is asking for death.
"Don't think too much. According to past records, the Peaceful Defense Zone has only encountered two sea monster attacks in so many years.
These two attacks were not aimed at the innocent defense zone, but were involved in other defense zones and encountered small-scale sea monster attacks.
These two attacks did not even cause any casualties among the believers, and were over in a very short time, which can be said to be very strange.
So the chance of us encountering a sea monster is very slim. You said it might offend someone, but I think someone is actually taking care of us.
Isn't it a good thing to complete this mission comfortably and gain military exploits easily?"
Mo Ziqi said from the side, but his expression was very calm, as if he didn't care about the poor state of the innocent defense zone.
Regardless of whether the defense area is attacked by sea monsters, they will receive combat merit rewards after the mission is over, and the amount is quite generous.
After this mission is over, they will accept new missions until the end of the Kingdom of God War.
The competition starts now, and what kind of tasks they will receive in the future will be determined by their performance in previous tasks.
War is not a child's play. Those arduous tasks naturally require more capable people to complete them.
"Having said that, I still feel a little unwilling to do so. This is not the result I want.
In fact, what I want to do most right now is to go to sea with His Excellency Tang Zhen, and then have a good fight with those sea monsters!"
While Qian Zhongyun and Mo Ziqi were talking, Tang Hao kept staring at the sea ahead, frowning slightly.
"Brother Tang Hao, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong in the sea water?"
Qian Zhongyun said with a smile, but his eyes swept across the sea, looking very carefully.
His words and deeds may seem frivolous, but he never takes it lightly when performing tasks.
"Have you noticed that the color of the sea water is gradually getting darker?"
Tang Hao asked Mo Ziqi and Mo Ziqi in an uncertain tone.
"I didn't pay attention to this, but the color of the sea water is indeed something wrong. Could it be that there is something extra in the water?"
The expressions of the three of them were a little solemn. After looking at each other, Mo Ziqi asked the old believer next to him: "You have been here the longest. Look at the color of the sea water. Is it abnormal?"
The old believer took a look and let out a light sigh, as if he also discovered something was wrong.
When Qian Zhongyun and the three people next to him saw this, their hearts skipped a beat and their expressions became solemn.
At this special moment, no subtle situation can be ignored. Who knows if it is related to sea monsters?
"What did you see? What's wrong?"
Mo Ziqi looked at the old believer and asked in a serious tone.
"Well, there is something wrong with the color of the sea water. It shouldn't be like this normally!"
The old believer shook his head, looking puzzled, as if he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Mo Ziqi frowned slightly and turned to look at Qian Zhongyun and the other two, wanting to see what they were thinking.
The moment he turned around, countless whirlpools suddenly appeared in the sea water, and lines like oil paint appeared in the water.
They are actually countless tiny things that are constantly condensing and merging. It is because of their existence that the seawater changes color.
When condensed into the thickness of chopsticks, these things swam towards the defense zone quickly like spiritual snakes.
"Enemy attack!"
The old believer's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe the scene in front of him. This was the first time he had seen such a situation in the hundreds of years he had been living here.
Something happened in the safe zone!
He subconsciously yelled a warning, then staggered back a few steps to grab the crossbow placed next to him.
It's just that the crossbow lacked maintenance and was rusted in many places, making it a useless waste.
"Hurry up and activate the teleportation stone warning, and call all the believers over at the same time. The faster the better!"
Qian Zhongyun shouted loudly, while opening the storage equipment and taking out a weapon similar to a mobile turret.
From the black turbine-like muzzle, a fire dragon suddenly flew out and swept towards the sea.
The temperature of the fire dragon was extremely high, and the seawater it came into contact with instantly vaporized, and those things that looked like insects, monsters, and fish were directly turned into ashes.
A scream like a baby's screams penetrated directly into the mind, causing a splitting headache.
Obviously, this monster's cry is unusual and has the effect of a spiritual attack. Worse believers cannot withstand it at all.
Qian Zhongyun's body trembled slightly, but he still controlled the fire dragon to stop the strange things that washed up on the shore.
Tang Hao and the mercenaries beside him also rushed to the edge of the city wall, took out their weapons and attacked continuously.
It's just that their number was too small and they couldn't hold the entire defense line. As a result, it didn't take long for the bugs to climb up the city wall.
