Chapter 201 Fierce Battle on the Defense Line I [Please subscribe]
Three different monster phalanxes are clustered four hundred meters away.
At the forefront are a group of pig-shaped monsters with ridged backs and covered with black cuticles.
"Damn it, that's a black-armored pig!"
"A second-level monster known for its defensive power and explosive sprint!" A
well-informed adventurer shouted in a hoarse and drawn-out tone.
Each black-armored pig is pulling its hind legs, looking ready to go.
Their body length is about 3 meters, and their shoulder height is about 1.2 meters.
It looks about the same size as the Jimny off-road vehicle in Blue Star.
The spine armor extends along the curve of the back, like a giant wild boar covered with a curved steel plate.
The carapace has a dull matte color and a heavy feel.
The black-armored pig also has two curved tusks about thirty centimeters in length under its arched nose.
It is conceivable that if these guys collectively launch a sudden advance, it will definitely be called a mudslide on the front.
"Not only that, but there are also dog demons behind!"
The shooter with the eagle eye skill stood on the sentry tower and reminded loudly.
Pressing behind the black-armored pig are black devil dogs that are not much smaller than the Blue Star Siberian tiger.
They are third-level dog demons, with thick hair all over their bodies, exploding like lions, their forelimbs are like forest wolves, but their ears are pointed and pointed upward, and they look somewhat similar to the ears of goblins.
In addition, the dog demon also has a bat-like head with a relatively flat face. Only the large mouth full of sharp teeth is slightly curved.
All barghests maintain a low-lying posture, which is a common posture for wolves when hunting.
Afterwards, a large amount of dust floated up, and the ground shook continuously, making it difficult for the defenders to see clearly.
In addition to the newly gathered monster phalanx on the ground, the dead light demon rhinos, eye demons and headless stone demons at the back are also increasing their numbers. The total number has increased from more than a hundred to the current hundreds.
This means that the density of long-range attacks on the monster side in the next round will increase several times!
The most eye-catching thing is actually not the monsters on the ground, but the flying monsters that gather together like dark clouds in the sky.
Thousands of flying monsters loomed into smaller aerial battle groups.
The sounds of their wings merged into a cacophony that rattled the eardrums.
Moreover, the levels of these flying monsters are not low. They generally start at the third level, and their individual strength can fully compete with adventurers between bronze and silver levels.
"Oh my God! Those are the Bat-Winged Demon, the Rotten Vulture and the Heart-Destroying Demon Eagle!" "The Heart-Destroying
Demon Eagle is a fourth-level monster. It can destroy stone walls with one claw!"
Many adventurers recognized those monsters. The origin of the flying monster, his tone was full of awe.
You must know that flying monsters are naturally more difficult to deal with than ground monsters.
There are no limitations on the ground in the air. Flying high, low, fast or slow can bring about different position changes.
Simply put, the airspace is far more three-dimensional than the ground area.
Especially when a large number of flying monsters group together and fight together with ground monsters, it greatly increases the difficulty of defense.
The difficulty of defense will increase exponentially as the defensive surface increases.
It is no exaggeration to say that the addition of flying monsters will increase the defensive pressure on the perimeter defense several times.
Among the three flying monsters that were recognized by name, it goes without saying that the bat-winged monster often appears sporadically in the airspace around Magtan City. It looks like a large bat, with a standard body length of 2 to 3 meters. Meter, the flight speed is medium, but it can maintain high speed in small and cramped caves or other similar environments.
It can also use sonic attacks and pathfinding methods, ignoring most visual shielding effects, such as "blinding", "night", "fog", etc.
It is a very difficult flying monster.
The claws and beak of the poisonous vulture are poisonous, and any wound made by it will be contaminated with poison.
The original Heart-Flaying Succubus Sophie was poisoned and injured after a battle with a rotten poisonous vulture at the new cave guard level, and was picked up by the wild boar Ragnar.
There are also different levels of the same monster.
The poisonous vultures that appear now are ordinary third-level monsters, not guardian-level ones. They are similar in size to those bat-winged demons, with slender necks and two relatively flexible claws.
They are good at diving and attacking. They are cruel and cunning, and rarely face the enemy head-on.
Most of the time, they will hover over the battlefield, waiting for opportunities to launch surprise attacks on enemies who are in poor condition or are paralyzed.
As for the Heart-Destroying Demon Eagle, it is a huge flying monster.
Its wingspan can reach more than fifteen meters and its body length is seven to eight meters.
The claws are like the buckets of an excavator, and the feathers on the edges of the wings are as sharp as knives.
There is also a circle of pointed feathers on the neck that looks like a wheel, plus a hook-like beak, which makes it even more ferocious. This giant eagle can fly away a large number of human adventurers with one claw.
Even the chest and abdomen are covered with hard feathers, and the full chest muscles give them the endurance to fly long distances.
It's just that these raptor monsters have an oval-shaped black heart embedded on the chest surface.
This heart is only the size of a honeydew melon, surrounded by dense blood vessels and is beating continuously.
It is also the origin of the name of the Heartbroken Eagle.
The exposed heart is also one of the few weak points on their body surface.
Most of the time, the magic eagle will lower its head intentionally, using the feathers on its neck to cover the weak spots on its chest.
There are not many of these difficult guys, only about forty or fifty.
Due to its huge size, each heart-broken demon eagle is particularly conspicuous among the flying monsters.
Chen Xuan's book was not in vain. Almost instantly, the information about these monsters appeared in his mind.
During this long war that lasted for thousands of Naloya years, most of the monsters were included in the illustrated books compiled by the aborigines.
In addition, the sentries on the tower also discovered the existence of several obviously defensive-level monsters, which were hanging around the long-distance attack monsters in the rear. They looked like commanders.
"Roar!"
The stalemate and confrontation did not last long.
After the monsters gathered together, an inexplicable roar appeared.
As if the call to charge was sounded, the black-armored pigs at the forefront ran away almost simultaneously.
The thick hoof legs stepped on the land washed into mud by the water waves.
The goblin stumps piled up on the edge of the thorn field were trampled, and pieces of flesh and mud were scattered all over the sky.
The black pig quickly turned into a mud pig.
In front of them, the thorns that could effectively prevent the goblins from advancing were crushed brutally.
The total number of black-backed pigs exceeds 5,000, and they swarm towards the sandwich city wall. The scene is actually quite spectacular.
The chaotic magic power of all the black-backed pigs is condensed together, forming a defense that is like one body.
The giant crossbow that defended the city fired again, and the crossbow arrows, as thick as a child's arm, were carried by the strong wind and shot toward the pigs.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
The armor-piercing crossbow arrow shining with runes penetrated the chaotic magic power and hit the spine of a certain black-backed pig, making a sound of gold and iron.
The black-backed pig that was directly hit flew upside down on the spot. The huge crossbow bolt was inserted behind it. Black blood was gurgling out and it was obviously dead.
There is no doubt about the power of the city crossbow, especially when dealing with single targets.
But everyone understands that the city crossbow is not very effective against black-backed pigs.
Because before, each shot of the armor-piercing crossbow could defeat more than ten goblins, but now it can only kill one.
There are only a dozen crossbows on the outer defense line, and there are not many arrows in stock.
The crossbow string may break at any time under continuous firing.
The durability of urban machinery is not very high. The greater the power, the greater the loss.
This also shows that the defensive power of the black-backed pig is far beyond that of the goblin.
Especially after they reach a large scale, it is even more terrifying.
As the black-backed pigs broke in, the crossbow archers also collectively fired a hail of arrows.
The pouring arrows fell towards the black-backed pigs, causing ripples in the chaotic magic power.
In other words, the effect of this wave of arrow rain is better than nothing. At best, it consumes some of the chaotic magic power reserves of the black-backed pig cluster.
On the contrary, magic played a slightly blocking role.
Especially natural and earth magic.
From time to time, vines grew on the ground and thorns poked out, blocking the charge of some black-backed pigs.
For things like charging, rhythm is important.
If the front row is slightly disrupted, the back row will be easily crowded and trampled, turning it into a mess.
Following the black-backed pig were about three thousand dog demons.
These guys have strong postures and are obviously faster than the black-backed pigs, but they choose not to speed up and slyly follow the black-backed pigs.
Once they advance under the city wall, they will leap up to attack.
The dead light rhinos in the distance recovered and then poked out of the tubular cavity again and shot out black light balls one after another.
The beholders are connected to each other through mysterious connections and shoot out beams of light.
The headless stone demon split into two parts, one of which continued to throw stone projectiles.
The remaining ones grabbed strange goblins with bulging bellies and painful faces and threw them towards the defense line.
The bellies of these goblins exploded before and after they landed on the ground, bursting into flames that filled the sky.
This round of fighting has just begun and has entered a fever pitch.
On the defender's side, various magic energy shields rose up.
But it obviously can't last long under such attack intensity.
The adventurers and mercenaries responsible for melee combat suddenly became nervous.
Everyone understood that close combat was inevitable.
It is worth mentioning that behind the dog demon, the ground shook violently, and the land bulged from time to time. It was obvious that monsters were attacking the defense line from underground!
This wave of monsters seemed to be ready to go all out, without any intention of testing.
The defensive line instantly became under pressure.
And this is even before those flying monsters attack.
Chen Xuan dual-wielded M2 heavy machine guns and began to output wildly with the help of the cover of the magic energy shield.
Ophelia stayed with Kitten Girl, she had a silver level of magic cultivation, while Rebecca only had a bronze level.
Ophelia can protect her when necessary.
In this way, Chen Xuan can let go of his hands and feet and cum to his heart's content!
In front of him, two light chains composed of 12.7mm ammunition swept towards the black-backed pig cluster.
It is different from the previous killing power like mowing grass when dealing with Goblins.
After the light chain hit this time, it felt a bit like a muddled cow drowning in the sea.
On average, it takes 15 to 18 shots to stop a black-backed pig.
After the 12.7×99mm ordinary bullet penetrates the chaotic magic, its power is reduced by at least 70%.
The bullet that followed was able to break through the armor after hitting the carapace, but the wound it caused was only the size of a teacup, which was nothing compared to the huge body of the black-backed pig.
So on average, it takes at least a dozen hits before the black-backed pig is injured and stops.
This ghost's vitality is extremely tenacious, and even after being seriously injured, it still has the energy to move forward.
However, the vast majority of injured black-backed pigs will be trampled to death by their companions because they slow down.
But even though he could no longer experience the joy of mowing grass, Chen Xuan did not stop attacking.
His barrage and the attack strength of the city defense complement each other. For every point of output, the defense capability of the black-backed pig cluster will be reduced by one point.
The three masters and servants shot out four light chains, forming a group of two, trying their best to stop the advance of the black-backed pig swarm.
They charged regardless, and soon advanced to a position less than a hundred meters away from the sandwich city wall.
"Attention everyone! The magic trap is activated!"
the temporary commander at the scene shouted loudly.
His voice was quickly drowned out, but in the next second, a drastic change occurred more than a hundred meters in front of everyone.
Running at the front, about two-fifths of the black-backed pigs suddenly fell into the pit.
Then pillars of fire wrapped in red flames soared into the sky!
In the blink of an eye, the pit turned into a pit of fire.
The flames were so blazing that the orange-red flames even illuminated the faces of the frontline defenders.
Chen Xuan saw with his own eyes many black-backed pigs jumping out of the edge of the fire pit with their bodies on fire, turning into fire pigs and continuing to run wildly.
"Hmm, hum, hum..."
The grunt of the black-backed pig echoed above the fire pit.
In the flickering light and shadow, you can still vaguely see the shadow of the pig jumping in pain in the fire pit.
Just when everyone thought this trap could slow down the monster's attack.
"Rumble!"
There was a huge noise on the ground.
Several layers of soil up to a hundred meters wide rose up like waves, pushing toward the fire pit ahead.
The remaining black-backed pigs and dog demons along the way gave way.
Waves of earth poured into the fire pit one after another, filling it up in less than half a minute.
The blazing flames were extinguished.
Chen Xuan did not stop the barrage output. After the light chain swept across the raised soil, he saw black blood soaking out. He immediately knew what was going on and loudly reminded everyone around him.
"Be careful, there should be burrowing worms underground!"
After hearing his words, more than ten earth spell casters quickly cast solidification spells around them.
Earth-boring worms are good at burrowing and propelling themselves through the ground, and their large tubular mouths can chew rocks.
However, its defense is weak, and it is not difficult to kill it as long as it can accurately lock its position.
These ground-boring worms did not attack hastily. After filling the fire pit, they retreated towards the rear.
From time to time, flames shot out from the gaps where the landfill was originally located.
The entire land was glowing with flames and smoking, and it looked extremely hot.
From time to time, a few burnt black-backed pigs would come out of the ground, howling and charging at the
magical flames, which were not so easy to extinguish.
The flame magic circle there can maintain high-intensity spray for at least three minutes.
However, the monsters immediately launched a charge!
