She Is Not a Witch Chapter 33: Water tide animal disaster
One month ago, Zheye Island, Yahu Mansion.
This is the prosperous state county located in the southwest of the dynasty. There are many schools in the continent. Many students from the twenty-seven continents in the southwest have traveled thousands of miles to study here.
It's just that after the world gradually became chaotic, the original prosperity gradually dissipated.
The turpentine on the torch was crackling, emitting the smell of pine oil and burnt smoke. On the city wall at night, soldiers in brown wooden armor patrolled back and forth, scanning the dark wilderness outside. Occasionally, soldiers would interact with each other. Talk a few words about the hidden worries of today.
"Did you hear that?" A soldier suddenly stopped and looked outside the city wall.
"What do you hear, don't scare me."
Several companions on the side also turned their eyes away.
"I seem to hear a cry from far away." As he spoke, he pointed to the extremely dark wilderness outside.
"Why didn't I hear it, did you hear it wrong."
"It's pitch black, how can you see it clearly..."
"No way, could it be that Yan Qu came over." Several people looked outside nervously.
Wan Qu is a strange beast that appeared in Changzhou a few months ago. It has a leopard head and a dragon body, with two wings on its back, six claws on the ground, and blue fur.
As soon as this beast came out, the floods continued and the river burst its embankment. Within a few days, Changzhou was turned into a swamp country, and the continent was in a mess. After receiving the news, the factions in nearby Zhou County joined forces to crusade, but unfortunately ended in failure.
This alien beast is no longer just an ordinary eighth-level monster. It devoured and manipulated the dragon veins of the local Zhou County. Disaster, or auspiciousness in this world, but from the results, the former is often the majority.
In the barbaric era when the five phoenixes were not born, such powerful alien beasts were often worshiped as gods or totems by tribes everywhere, and sometimes blood sacrifices and other ceremonies were held to please them, so that the tribes could live in the local area.
It's just that with the birth of the five phoenixes and the establishment of the dynasty, such a scene has long been forgotten. Now when such a dragon-veined beast reappears, everyone is caught off guard and makes mistakes in judgment, causing heavy casualties.
"Probably not, there is Shi Pizhou between us and Tanzhou, how can I say..." The soldier stopped suddenly while talking, his mouth was slightly opened, and under the light of the fire, Half of the side face looked motionless at the wilderness outside the wall.
"Why did you stop, I..." The companion on the side also turned his head away as he spoke, his voice suddenly froze, and at this moment he also understood why the companion stopped talking.
On the pitch-black wilderness, pairs of blood-red eyes are running as fast as sparks, silently, but those eyes have already exposed their existence, the rapid bells sounded from the city tower, and the sobbing horns blew, There was the sound of shouting and running everywhere.
After discovering these attacking monsters, the sound of gongs and drums was everywhere in Yahu City. Soon after, under the nervous eyes of every household, groups of soldiers set out from the barracks, carrying firearms and weapons , crossed the street, and ran towards the tower.
"Set up the gun and fire!"
Following the command of the lieutenant in bright red armor, a dazzling fireball was fired from the cannon and rose into the sky. bright.
The monsters that had been hidden in the dark night before were instantly revealed under the firelight. These monsters have different shapes, some are like foxes, some are like leopards, and some seem to be aquatic beasts. They were running on the ground, as if driven by something, and at the end of the field of vision, a wave of muddy water had already washed away.
"The monster is coming——"
"The monster is coming——"
Calls of surprise resounded on the city wall, which made the residents in the city even more uneasy. Many people began to pray silently in front of the lights, praying that today would pass smoothly.
"Is the cannon ready?" the lieutenant on the wall asked eagerly.
"My lord, hurry up, 50 cannons will be ready soon."
According to common sense, even if Yahu City is the state capital of Zheyezhou, it would not have so many cannons, but now the situation is critical, the state shepherd and the captain have tried their best to collect and search for more weapons and equipment.
"Ready now, fire!"
Finally, when these monsters were about to hit the city wall, the cannons at the back were loaded. burn.
When the transformation of the Western Continent was in full swing, the eastern dynasties also learned and imitated to a certain extent. Although there was still a gap compared with the top firearms, they were not far behind in the standing artillery.
A huge explosion exploded in the group of monsters, sending many weak monsters flying, but some of them became more ferocious after being injured.
After experiencing the baptism of artillery fire, the remaining monsters continued to approach the city wall. At this time, the sound of continuous firecracker shooting sounded, the continuous green smoke floated in the light of the fire, and the strong smell of fire filled the air.
The bullets fired penetrated the fur of the monster beasts, shooting out dark red blood flowers one by one. Some monster beasts screamed and dodged, and then continued to approach. Climbing along the cracks and stone walls of the city wall, they rushed to the soldiers who were overlooking and shooting.
Seeing these monsters sprinting up, the soldiers holding the firecrackers on the city wall retreated quickly, and the soldiers holding the shields stepped forward, and then felt the shields sink in their hands, and a force of impact came, causing the shields to deflect. Slanting, the stinky fangs protruded from the top of the shield and went straight to the neck, before being stopped by the long knife.
White and yellow teeth bit the blade tightly, **** wounds were cut in the black mouth and tongue, and the claws on both sides kept tearing at the shield and armor, drawing ravines, bringing a sigh of relief The sound of tearing and rubbing.
Even though he was wearing thick armor, the soldier was startled by the stench and fierce fangs that were so close at Chichi. Going down the city tower, and then brandishing the blade to fight against other monsters that rushed up again.
Facing the cold blades in the flames, some monsters jumped up quickly and rushed straight to the soldiers' heads, and some even wanted to attack from behind. The beast succeeds.
But with the fighting on the city wall, the positions originally used for shooting were also occupied. The soldiers holding the firecrackers had to put down the firecrackers and took out their knives and guns for close combat, and the sound of killing was everywhere. But compared to the soldiers on the city wall, the monsters in the wilderness seem to be endless. Although most of them are only 1-3 ranks, they are better than the large number. Gradually, gaps began to appear on the city wall. Some monsters ran into the city and immediately sent There was a burst of exclamation and wailing.
"The gate of the fire tower is here, all disciples follow me to kill the enemy!" On the chaotic and scattered streets, a group of strong men dressed in iron armor and holding iron and fire organs appeared.
These people opened the square iron box held in their hands, held it up with one hand, and turned the handle on the mechanism box with the other hand, and then a sharp arrow shot out from the iron box, swishing through the air, stabbing the attacking monster. Soon, the streets were full of arrowheads of iron arrows and corpses of monsters.
"Thank you, for saving my life!" Some people who escaped were very grateful to these strong men. These Huotamen disciples who used to be considered fierce have become so amiable and reassuring.
"You don't have to thank me, you should go to the rear to take refuge quickly, and don't get close to the city wall."
"Yes, yes, everyone, come with me, hurry up." Speaking of these people from the neighboring outer city, dragging and carrying their families, they walked quickly to the back of the street.
Afterwards, these disciples of the Fire Pagoda Gate continued to patrol the streets with the iron fire box mechanism, shooting and killing the monsters that ran into the city.
As time passed slowly, the battle on the city wall became more and more intense, and some practitioners and small factions in the city continued to join in to fill the gradually torn gap on the city wall. Now that a catastrophe is imminent, they also know that if the city falls, they will inevitably be in danger. At present, they must help the defenders resist the beast tide in order to survive.
Yahu City is the base of the Fire Tower Gate. Compared with other factions, there are more strong men with iron and fire organs in the city. It is famous far and wide.
Relying on orders from the imperial government, the Huotamen, which focuses on organs and firearms, has expanded rapidly in the past two decades. The number of people has expanded from a few hundred at the beginning to tens of thousands at present. The master is generally at the fifth level, and the sect master who is in charge has the strength of the seventh level.
According to the rumors in the market, the head of the fire pagoda gate is about three feet high, with a body like an iron tower, four arms like steel, and can shoot fire and arrows from three sides, very human.
Although there are suspicions of exaggeration and rumors, the head of the Fire Pagoda Gate has indeed fought against the eighth-level goblins and repelled them. The monsters and the Fire Pagoda Gate were also involved, but it was a pity that this time it was different from the past. Na Yanqu was a dragon-veined beast, far from being comparable to ordinary monsters. There were countless deaths and injuries among the masters of the five sects, and even the master of the Fire Tower Gate was buried in it , a suit of iron armor and firearms was knocked apart, fell into the monstrous turbid waves, and disappeared.
Although there are thousands of Huotamen disciples stationed in the city, most of them are ordinary disciples, and there are less than a hundred masters above the fifth rank.
"Third senior brother, it's not good, we don't have enough arrows."
Among the continuous shooting and sniping monsters, some disciples of the fire tower gate were also injured and retreated, and some of them were even short of ammunition.
"Walking and retreating, there are still a lot of arrows and gunpowder stored in the pie." The tall man with short dark brown hair set up the mechanism in his hand, and then the flames burst out, killing the four rushing people. The monster was burned into a fireball, and then the heavy mechanism was put away.
"Let's go." Several disciples of the Fire Pagoda Sect greeted their fellow disciples, covering each other, some even supported the injured fellow disciples, retreated carefully, and watched nervously around the street.
Now the streets are full of burnt and collapsed ruins. Some houses were set on fire during the scuffle, and the fire soared into the sky. Blend, reflect some light.
These people dragged their companions to keep retreating, repelling the jumping and attacking monsters from time to time along the way. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the station of the fire tower gate, they could even see the towering five-story stone building in the distance , which is brightly lit. But a roar sounded like a cow's cry on the street, and then a heavy and ticking hoofbeat, a black and blue giant bull with four horns rushed towards the group of people.
Compared to ordinary buffaloes, this monstrous giant bull is as tall as five people, with a high hump on its back, which gives people an extremely heavy and oppressive feeling. When breathing from its nostrils, two gushes of white air emerge from its nostrils. , running all the way, countless bricks and stones on the street were crushed, and the four corners of the dark thread smashed into houses and buildings.
"How did such a monster break in?"
Looking at the extremely powerful blue-black giant ox exuding a turbid aura, everyone present was amazed, but there was no good way at the moment. The firearms were fired at the monster.
"Roar——"
The ferocious beast roared, the huge bull's head swung, and easily missed the arrow. Even if it hit, it was blocked by the thick cowhide, leaving only faint white marks.
"Use fire, use fire!" Realizing that the arrow was useless, the leading strong man yelled, and then he pushed the mechanism on the iron box, and an extremely blazing pillar of fire erupted.
The dazzling pillar of fire is like incandescence, illuminating the night and the street. After the third senior brother reminded, the disciples of the Fire Pagoda Sect next to him also pushed the mechanism on the iron box and spewed out the pillar of fire.
Seven or eight pillars of fire submerged the giant bull in his field of vision, and the roar of the giant bull was also heard from inside. He shook his head, dodging these attacking pillars of fire with some disgust, and then found that he could not avoid or detour, so he buried his head again Charge, the whole figure gallops in the flames.
Seeing that the giant bull turned into a huge fireball, it smashed through the walls and buildings next to the street, and approached the crowd, until finally it suddenly ran out among the bricks, stones and smoke, and smashed through the few people blocking the way. broken.
"You, **** it!" Seeing the junior brother in front of him being killed by the giant bull, the third senior brother's eyes turned red, and the extraordinary core turned rapidly, pouring all the magic power into the mechanism box in his hand, and sprayed out more blazing blue flames. firelight.
The giant bull was berserk in the flames, its eyes were burned by the flames, it blindly ran and bumped, crushing buildings everywhere, but it always avoided the third senior brother and continued to attack.
Finally, in the flames, this monster beast at the peak of Sequence 6 slowly fell down, like a house collapsing, throwing up waves of smoke and dirt on the ground.
"Huh, huh, huh..." His arms were already sore, and the mechanism he had been holding before also slipped to the ground ~IndoMTL.com~ and became a crutch to support him from falling down immediately.
After a while, just when he thought the crisis was over and he could go to the station to find someone for help, there was another sound of running iron hooves at the end of the street, and this time it was not just a giant bull, but They are three monsters that are on the same level as the giant bull. One of them is a crocodile covered in blue iron scales, the other looks like a giant gorilla, with a blue face and giant palms, and a burly figure. The last one is completely black with only a few white patterns. , with a face like a ghost, with long fangs, shaped like a cow or a deer.
"Bah." Looking at the monster that was blowing like a bad wind, the strong man spat, and picked up the iron box mechanism in front of him again.
Even if he wanted to run now, he couldn't.
The rest of the iron arrows slanted out, and then a blazing pillar of fire emerged on the street again, glowing red.
This kind of attack only prevented the leading black stag and bull a little, and then rushed out, pushing the strong man up, and the sound of bones breaking was heard.
Looking at the flames and smoky streets below, he felt as if he was 'floating up, and everything in front of him began to fade away.
