Chapter 202: Fierce Battle on the Defense Line II [Please subscribe]
Above the scorched earth, there is a strong smell of burning in the air.
The area in front of the temporary defense line was like a furnace, and even the air was slightly distorted by the high heat.
In terms of the layout of the defense line, Magtan City has spent a lot of money.
A lot of precious magic materials were used in that flame pit. A total of twelve clustered flames will roast the monsters caught in it into charcoal. Each flame is equivalent to the power of third-level fire magic and can last for several Minutes of flame spray!
Even though it was filled with soil at this time, the cracks in the soil were still filled with flames.
The surging flames below seemed to burst out at any moment.
However, the monsters didn't care about this. Affected by the dark mandala light curtain, they were always in a state of fanaticism and assumed a fight to the death.
Almost as soon as those earth-burrowing worms receded, the remaining black-backed pigs and dog demons howled and walked across the scorching earth, vowing to level the southern front!
The soil in the hastily filled pit was very soft, and the monsters stepped on it, making it more compacted, and the arc of the sinking naturally appeared again.
And as the flames continued to spray, the soil was scorching hot.
Looking around, the area where the pit is located is emitting an orange-red light.
Black smoke billowed up, and from time to time, several smaller flame streams would burst out from the gaps.
All the monsters passing there were affected, and some of the chaotic magic power on their bodies was also consumed.
So this trap now becomes a "hot foot" debuff for monsters.
After crossing the fire pit, the monster cluster officially entered the 100-meter moving average of the defense line.
All the adventurers and mercenaries on the temporary city wall suddenly became nervous.
"The shield warriors form a formation!"
"The spear group will follow up and stand up with spears as a ridge, and prepare for hand-to-hand combat." "
The second echelon is on standby!"
"The forward shooters and casters retreat to the third echelon of village guards!"
"Rear defense position The shooters and casters on top are ready to fight the enemy!"
"The sentry notified the third circle of defense, open the gate, and be ready to respond!"
The person in charge of the temporary command was the deputy lieutenant in the garrison named Tanson Mars.
He has long, slightly flamboyant light blond hair, is good at fighting with two-handed swords, has a very fierce fighting style, and his magical power is close to the peak of silver level, and he can be regarded as a first-line strongman in the city.
Therefore, Tansen is also known as the "Lion of Magtan City".
If the demonic disaster hadn't broken out, he would have been able to smoothly enter the gold level in one or two Narayan years at most.
At that time, he will be transferred to the giant city of Atax and hold an important position in a certain legion.
Chen Xuan had no intention of taking command.
He knew his own depth. Before he experienced a large-scale monster war, he was a rookie in legion-level combat.
There are specialties in the arts, and the tactical arrangements for dealing with monsters are still left to the aborigines.
He just needs to grasp the general plan.
Anyway, the magic disaster concerns everyone's life, and no one will cheat on this kind of thing.
Especially the chief officials who have vested interests in the city will risk their lives to defend the city.
In addition, there was the guarantee of slave indenture.
Tanson Mars has also made a pact with him.
At present, all the middle and high-level people in the city are without exception Chen's slaves.
As for the bottom level, only the two underworld forces, the Coolie Mule and the Broken Finger Gang, are fully contractually controlled.
Others, such as scattered mercenaries, adventurers or garrison teams, he can't contract with them yet.
I saw Tansen in the distance with a tough face, resolute eyebrows, a pair of decent mustaches on his lips, and a set of light armor standard for state officers.
He stood in a tower not far from the front line from beginning to end, surrounded by several flag soldiers.
While activating the flame trap, he issued a series of instructions.
The crossbow shooters and spell casters who were originally staying not far behind the first line quickly left the commanding heights and retreated to the third echelon line five hundred meters away to re-garrison.
The second echelon, more than two hundred meters away from the temporary city wall, was ready to attack.
At the same time, the group of warriors holding shields, spears, and knives almost pressed against the temporary city wall, forming several shield walls spaced thirty or forty meters apart like speed bumps, assuming a close combat posture to engage the enemy.
His orders were quickly conveyed everywhere by means of flags and magic horns.
This means they are about to abandon the walls.
The next step is band resistance. With the help of horse blocking, roadblocks and traps arranged in the village, the monster's impact is dispersed, and then they are evacuated from the side roads to the tower defense line.
Chen Xuan pulled the trigger crazily, and the M2 heavy machine gun sprayed out deadly flames.
Each bullet carried extremely impactful kinetic energy and shot towards the charging black-backed pigs.
He turned his head and glanced at Ophelia and Kitten Girl who were not far away.
The two women instantly understood what he meant and stopped firing without hesitation. They jumped up several times with the receiver in hand and retreated to the commanding heights of the tower further back.
At this time, the orc shield warrior named Mogroga next to Chen Xuan looked at him with a complicated expression.
When he turned around, his eyes became extremely determined.
As the shooters and casters evacuated one after another, the long-range attacks at the temporary defense line of Magatan City completely stopped.
On the monster side, the "artillery position" constructed by the Death Ray Rhino, Beholder Demon, and Headless Stone Demon was relentlessly attacking the temporary position.
Dozens of light balls, stone bullets or exploding goblins fall down every minute and every second.
There are hundreds of beholder beams sweeping around.
Under such circumstances, the frontline magic shield generation device quickly collapsed.
The protective shields like colorful mushroom caps were shattered one after another.
Fortunately, the front line had already been cleared, and the shield warriors each used their own means to activate defensive magic skills, and at the same time activated the protective scrolls or protective jewelry they carried to build a new front.
Everything happens within seconds.
Just as Rebecca and Ophelia retreated to the rear.
More than two thousand surviving black-backed pigs rushed to the city like a tide!
"Boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The reinforced sandwich city wall shook violently.
The black-backed pigs slammed into the wall fearlessly.
The vines and wooden walls on the surface were knocked open, revealing the stones piled inside.
Thousands of black-backed pigs hit each other at the same time, causing the wall to shake.
After all, it is just a temporary defense line and cannot be compared with the city tower of Magtan City that has been reinforced many times.
And at the same time as the black-backed pig hit the city wall, the dog demons also waited for the opportunity to jump up, trampling on the bodies of their companions and jumping to the top of the wall.
The warriors at the front built a shield wall to hold back the dog demon, while the assisting warriors behind waited for the opportunity to poke out their spears.
Chen Xuan had already put away the M2 heavy machine gun, and he was surrounded by light cyan wind spirit magic floating in the air more than a hundred meters above the ground. This was the effect of the second-level wind magic levitation technique.
Just when the dog demon and the black-backed pig launched a charge and started a close combat with the front row warriors.
Those flying monsters flew over in darkness.
Chen Xuan looked attentively and looked at Tansen Mars who was staying on the tower behind.
He always watched the situation at the scene with a serious and indifferent expression.
As the dog demons swarmed up the wall one after another, the shield warriors at the front began to collapse.
There was a gap visible to the naked eye in the battle line. There were even dog demons that crossed the first line of close combat defense and rushed to the rear in scattered pieces, only to be sniped by the second line of shooters.
The temporary sandwich city wall also became crumbling under the impact of the fierce charge of the black-backed pigs.
"Strong wind blows! Retreat from the front!"
The order from the tower made the soldiers on the front line feel like they were being amnesty!
To be honest, even though they had long been determined to die, everyone still felt unspeakable fear when the swarm of monsters came to them and the ferocious dog demon jumped up and crushed on the shield.
Compared with the monster swarm, the battle line they built was like a sandbag blocking the tide. Sooner or later, it would be submerged by the raging tide.
The number of defenders on the outer defense line of Magtan City is about the same as that of the second round of monster phalanx.
But the quality is far inferior.
More than 80% of the adventurers and mercenaries participating in the garrison are at the Black Iron level, about 15% are at the Bronze level, and the remaining half are at the Silver level.
And they are basically early to mid-stage Silver level.
After all, this is a stage of cultivation that requires long-term accumulation of hard work.
Facing the impact of those clusters of second-, third- and even fourth-level monsters, it is normal to be unable to stop them.
In addition, adventurers and mercenaries usually fight in small teams and have not received the combat training of an organized legion, so it is extremely difficult to cope with the scene in front of them.
The absence of a big rout can be considered as their psychological quality.
Fortunately, the Bangcheng headquarters had already prepared evacuation plans corresponding to each stage.
The large magic circle buried behind the temporary city wall takes effect instantly.
Erratic strong winds howled and suddenly formed a wall of wind.
The strong wind blew away the attacking dog demons and black-backed pigs.
Taking this opportunity, the soldiers on the front line quickly retreated, leaving two to three hundred corpses in place.
At this time, a large group of bat-winged demons and rotten vultures took the lead in flying over the defense line.
The huge Heart-Destroying Demon Eagle is further back in the final position.
In an instant, the violent wind wall below swirled into the air.
It was like a broom made of wind blowing the flying monsters into a mess.
But the strong wind blew the magic and then disintegrated.
This wave bought the frontline nearly half a minute of valuable time.
"Rumble!"
The ground in the distance shook.
Tube-shaped ground-boring worms shuttled through, and their excavation slowed down slightly until they were blocked by the hardened ground outside the city wall!
Taking advantage of the opportunity to break through the temporary city wall, almost all of the monster phalanx in the second round came forward.
In the blink of an eye, it put tremendous pressure on the southern front.
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
When the effect of the strong wind ended and the soldiers at the front evacuated, the sandwich wall was overwhelmed by the successive impacts of the black-backed pigs and collapsed.
Chen Xuan was floating in the air, with two M134 7.62MM six-barreled machine guns in his hands.
Behind him was a huge backpack magazine.
This magazine contains 7,500 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition!
Insert the bullet chains at both ends into the receiver respectively, allowing him to change from dual-wielding M2 heavy machine guns to dual-wielding M134 "Terminator".
Carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight is no pressure on him.
Suspended in the air, Chen Xuan watched the city wall collapse, and the black-backed pigs, dog demons and ground-boring worms on the ground poured into the defense line almost indiscriminately.
The bat-winged demon and rotten vulture in the air also quickly adjusted their flying postures, as if they were covered by a dark cloud.
The chirping heart-broken demon eagles distanced themselves from each other, their sharp eagle eyes locked downwards, ready to pounce at any time.
When Chen Xuan saw this, he pressed the click switch of M134.
The small motor is powered by a lithium battery.
The six barrels rotated along the central axis and officially entered the pre-launch stage.
After adjusting, he pulled the trigger!
"Click, click, click, click..."
The sounds of bullets coming out were so dense that they almost overlapped.
The two gun flames radiating out nearly half a meter are particularly eye-catching.
Also appearing at the same time were two tiny chains of light with unclear tracks.
In the absence of tracer bullets, the fired bullet does not actually glow.
At most, there will be a brief burst of light during flight due to air friction and the unburned primer.
This time, Chen Xuan no longer paid attention to the monsters rushing on the ground, but pointed the barrel of his gun at the bat-winged demons and rotten vultures with flapping wings!
A multi-barreled rapid-fire machine gun used as a vehicle.
The maximum rate of fire of the M134 can reach 7,000 rounds per minute.
However, its actual rate of fire is limited by the battlefield environment and the amount of ammunition. It can basically only reach 3000~3500 rounds per minute, which is used for fire suppression and support in a short period of time.
But for Chen Xuan, there is no such concern.
He carries a special magazine box and can shoot at full speed for half a minute when dual-wielded.
In other words, hundreds of bullets are fired almost every second.
The multi-barreled machine gun can be said to be the limit of fire rate of human individual weapons.
From now on, whether it is the multi-tube matrix, the ultra-high-speed close-in defense gun, or the famous Metal Storm, they will no longer be considered individual weapons.
Especially Metal Storm, it doesn't even have the shape of a firearm, it's just a group of iron boxes.
The structure is actually similar to the multi-barrel salutes and fireworks of the Xia Kingdom.
I saw a surprising scene at the scene.
In the air, Chen Xuan wielded two miniguns and faced off against the flying monsters alone, pouring out firepower crazily.
Looking up from below, the two half-meter-long gun flames were not conspicuous.
Chen Xuan's entire body was even smaller than the swarm of flying monsters.
But his attack was quite effective, like a small knife visibly cutting out a piece of rotten flesh.
On average, one or two rotten vultures or bat-winged demons will be shot down every second.
However, the distance between the two sides is also rapidly closing, and he is like a lone boat that will be swallowed up at any time.
Just when Chen Xuan was about to be surrounded.
He suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared about a hundred meters behind.
This is the effect of [Flash from the same domain].
Now he can no longer hide his clumsiness.
The continent of Naroa will fall into total turmoil at any time, which is a good time for heroes, braves and strangers to rise.
And Chen Xuan is destined to make a name for himself in this world!
The demonic disaster in Magtan City was his first battle medal!
