The outpost in the south of the city is only a few kilometers away from the outer defense line.
In fact, the integration efficiency of monsters is much higher than everyone imagined.
This situation shows that there is definitely a leader among the monsters who can suppress everything.
Maybe it's the ferocious dragon, or maybe it's other high-level monsters coming from the void passage.
This is not good news for everyone in Magtan City.
After the sentry alert, everyone on the city wall immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
Soldiers holding various types of shields stood on the front line.
Looking around, there are round shields, square shields, kite-shaped shields and even small arm shields.
Different shields formed the same formation at this moment.
Each shield surface is filled with the brilliance of magic elements.
There are also alternate shield warriors on standby in the back row.
In addition, those melee fighters armed with various cold weapons stood quietly behind the wall.
They will be responsible for initiating a close-quarters stranglehold when the monster approaches.
Anyway, there is a high probability that the first wave of attacks will not be the turn of the screaming warriors.
The main force in the early stage will still depend on the crossbow archers and spell casters.
There are also many places on the temporary wall where low-level rune shield vehicles are placed.
The defensive capability of this kind of shield vehicle is not very high, but it can also function as a bunker.
There was a blue orb as big as a coconut on a wooden tower not far behind everyone.
With the cooperation of multiple second-level spellcasters, this orb is emitting a soft radiance within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area.
The caster bathed in this light can obtain a certain degree of mental power recovery effect, which is equivalent to indirectly extending the ability of spell output.
"Crack!"
Pull the bolt and release the bolt safety.
Chen Xuan and the two girls were also ready to shoot.
Time passed in a hurry, and just as everyone was waiting, the horn was blown for the second time.
"Woooooooo~"
The melodious sound of the horn echoed in the air.
It was as if an elegy was sounded.
Death is destined to bloom here, either soaked in blood or soaked in demon blood.
At this time, everyone could already see the group of monsters that looked like a black tide.
They stopped about two or three kilometers away from the southern perimeter of the city.
There is an open area there, which is very suitable for gathering the whole team.
The dark group of monsters was divided into twelve square formations under the gaze of everyone.
From a distance, it looks like a creeping fungus blanket, which makes your scalp numb.
Moreover, there are a large number of flying monsters hovering in the sky, and they look like a gauze net when they gather in the sky.
Chen Xuan mounted two M2 heavy machine guns on the wall pier in front of him, took out a pair of binoculars and looked at the gathering place of monsters in the distance.
Due to the poor lighting, not many details can be seen, and the area swept by the lens is a large area of darkness.
Each square array was formed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, there was a crooked phalanx marching towards the southern defense line.
Behind this phalanx were followed a dozen large monsters that looked like rhinos.
It wasn't until they advanced a certain distance that the second and third monster phalanx slowly followed, and a small group of flying monsters followed behind like a swarm of bees.
Chen Xuan put away the telescope and looked a little solemn.
Using [Time Slow Travel], he had read the "Book of Poetry" and could easily see through the monster's plan through the battle examples recorded in the classics.
This is a typical cannon fodder tactic.
First send out a frontline battle group composed of low-level monsters to test the strength of the defense.
It can be understood that they were sent to "step on thunder".
After the test is completed, the remaining monsters will follow up with the whole army in one go, cooperating with the high-level monsters to launch a gushing siege.
Magtan City is square and square, and the terrain in all four directions has natural limitations.
For example, in the area south of the city, except for the several hundred meters of open land in front of it that was specially cleared, there were swamps and woods on both sides. This terrain allowed the defenders to use funnel tactics.
The monsters cannot disperse and can only concentrate in a fixed area with a gourd mouth shape to launch an attack.
"Wulonglong..."
The ground shook slightly.
Tens of thousands of monsters launched a swarm charge.
They quickly crossed this distance and entered the 800-meter area limit.
As cannon fodder is the Goblin phalanx.
These ugly little green-skinned monsters have pustules all over their faces. Among them are goblin swordsmen holding rusty machetes, goblin warriors holding high square wooden shields and short spears, and tall bear goblins holding big sticks.
Behind them were a large group of Goblin archers holding short wooden bows.
Mixed in among them were a small number of shamans.
But the fastest ones are undoubtedly the Night Shadow Wolf Cavalry.
At this moment, these despicable lower-level monsters were jumping up and down excitedly, saliva dripping from the corners of their crooked mouths, their eyes glowing red, and they rushed towards the outer defense line of Magatan City without fear of death.
The ground was trampled and made a "rumbling" sound, which seemed very powerful.
Under the light curtain of [Dark Mandala], the monsters were as mad as they were on a moonlit night.
Looking at the surging goblins, Kitten Girl Rebecca seemed to recall some bad memories, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Ophelia, who had her blond hair tied up, was fearless and raised her gun early.
Chen Xuan twisted his neck, moved his arms, and then grabbed the two machine guns again.
"Don't be afraid, it's time to make these filthy bugs pay."
He gave Rebecca an encouraging look.
Thinking of the adventurers who were tortured to death, Kitty Girl's expression finally became firm.
There were thousands of Night Shadow Wolf Cavalry running at the front. When they entered the thorny area, their speed suddenly slowed down a lot.
"Hooga! Hooga! Hooga!"
They roared like they were panting, and moved forward without stopping with crazy smiles on their faces.
"call out!"
"Ugh!"
The reverberating sound of strong strings appeared, and crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm shot out from the city crossbow.
Coupled with the light blue wind spirit magic power, the speed quickly increased to the extreme!
Accompanied by the goblin's cry of pain, the crossbow bolt passed through the chest of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry at the forefront.
Then it ran through a straight line of about eighty or ninety meters behind it.
All the goblins along the way will have the effect of almost tearing their limbs apart after being hit.
Black blood spilled, and flesh and blood stuck to green skin splattered everywhere.
The chaotic magic power of the low-level monster's protective body was destroyed almost instantly.
Shooting several thick crossbow bolts into the goblin swarm in succession can create a plowing effect like flesh and blood.
The attack of the city crossbow was also a signal, kicking off Magtan City's counterattack.
The crossbow archers and rangers shot arrows blessed by magic.
These arrows were still powerful even though they spanned a distance of two to three hundred meters, forming a dazzling shower of arrows that rained down on the goblins.
"Fire!"
He accurately calculated the power of the 12.7×99 mm ammunition and evaluated an optimal firing distance.
