“don’t worry, city Lord. I’ve taken a good look at our weapons and equipment. They’re much better than those powerful towers. We can definitely withstand the monsters that attack the city! ”

“Just as Tang Zhen was thinking about something, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear. He raised his head and saw an old Wanderer speaking in a hoarse voice. At the same time, he raised the cigarette in his hand and took a deep puff. It seemed that he was deliberately imitating the smoking appearance of a Big Shot. However, his actions were extremely awkward and artificial, making him look rather comical. ”

“Tang Zhen smiled when he saw this. He had once heard Tai Seng introduce this old fellow. It was said that he was hired by a newly built City Tower when he was young and had participated in a defensive battle of the City Tower. In the end, the defensive battle failed and the city Tower was destroyed by a monster. The Wanderer named old Mike had escaped death and then drifted around like all other Wanderers before joining the valley Camp. ”

“It could be said that among these people, he was the only one who had personally experienced the scene of a monster siege. He also had the most say. ”

“Moreover, this guy was extremely slippery. If it wasn’t because he was confident that Tang Zhen would be able to hold the loucheng, he would have sneaked away immediately. ”

“Tang Zhen suddenly had an interest in chatting as he looked at this comical old man. At the same time, this was also a good opportunity for him to get closer to the residents. ”

“””Old Mike, tell me about your past experience of defending the city?”” ”

“Seeing the city Lord speak, old Mike chuckled and opened his pitch-black Mouth, which only had a few teeth left, and said, “” “”My Lord, you don’t know this, but during that battle, there were more than 500 residents in the city. Including us mercenaries, there were nearly 1000 of us. But so what? ”

“First, it was a dense pack of two-headed scavenger dogs that pounced over, leaving a trail of dust in their wake. That building didn’t have a line of defense like us, so only one-third of those scavengers died, and the rest all rushed to the bottom of the building. ”

“It was not easy to kill all the scavengers, but there were zombies, hard-skinned lizards, bloodthirsty gnomes, giant-teeth Tigers, and countless other monsters. It was impossible to kill all of them. ”

“Other than that, there was also a level four horned Earth Dragon commanding the battle. It was five to six meters tall and had shocking combat power. ”

“According to the words passed down by the elders, in order to protect the newly built City Tower, one needed to do one of the three things. The first was to hold on for an hour and kill two-thirds of the monsters. The third was to kill the leader monster. ”

“Unfortunately, looking at the situation at that time, I’m afraid none of that could have been done, and the final outcome was the city being destroyed and people dying. I was lucky enough to get a four-horned horse, which was why I was able to survive. As for the others, they’re all useless.”” ”

“Old Mike stopped talking, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. ”

“Tang Zhen didn’t continue to ask about the fate of old Mike and the others. From his expression, he knew that they had most likely died in the battle to defend the city. Perhaps, his friends and family were among them. ”

“Tang Zhen threw the remaining pack of cigarettes to old Mike, turned around, and walked to the roof. ”

“After he returned to the rooftop, Tang Zhen took out his binoculars and began to observe the gathering of the monsters in the distance. Compared to the scattered monsters that had gathered in twos and threes before, the entrance of the valley could be said to be ‘full of monsters’. ”

“All kinds of monsters gathered together, but there was no sign of fighting, even among the monsters that usually ate each other. They just drooled, paced restlessly, and looked at the building with greedy eyes. ”

There was a faint stench in the air. It was the smell that would only be released when many monsters gathered together.

“All of a sudden, there was a commotion among the monsters. Then, three figures broke through the weeds and headed straight for the tower. Tang Zhen quickly turned the binoculars and looked carefully. He discovered that there were three monsters that were at least Level 4. ”

“damn the SIPs, there are actually three of them! ”

Tang Zhen inhaled a breath of cold air. He secretly cursed his bad luck in his heart as his expression became a little ugly.

“He originally thought that when the monsters attacked the city, there would only be one level 4 monster at most. Who would have thought that three of them would come at once? it was probably because of the undead race’s rampage that attracted a large number of monsters. Tang Zhen chose to build the city at this time, which attracted so many high-level monsters. ”

“Knowing that it was useless to be angry and complain, Tang Zhen steeled his heart. It was just a mere three monsters. He would just fight it out with them! ”

“With the arrival of the three high-level monsters, all the monsters howled in unison. The sharp and ear-piercing sound reverberated through the valley, making people’s scalps numb. ”

“The three high-level monsters were like generals in command, each occupying an area. After a while, as they roared, countless monsters were like wild dogs out of their cages, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced at the building. ”

“As the monsters began to charge, the battle to defend the city immediately began! ”

All the Wanderers in the building held their breaths and held their weapons tightly. Their eyes were fixed on the approaching monster horde. Some people’s palms began to sweat and their bodies trembled slightly.

The Horde of monsters covered a large area of the valley. These monsters looked ferocious and their roars were terrifying. It was a huge psychological impact on people.

“If it weren’t for the support of their beliefs, their equipment, and the encouragement of their comrades, some of them would have already broken down and fled. ”

“In the blink of an eye, the monsters had already approached the first line of defense. ”

“&Nbsp; seeing that the monsters were about to approach the first spike-filled trench, Tai Seng gave the order, and the six triple-bow ballistae were activated at the same time. Black bolts whizzed out one after another, instantly crossing a distance of nearly a hundred meters and piercing into the group of monsters. ”

“””Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”” ”

“The charging monsters screamed as the arrows with great momentum fell into the dense group of monsters. Each arrow penetrated at least two monsters, causing them to lose their ability to move. Even if these monsters did not die, they lost the ability to continue causing trouble. ”

“good! seeing that this round of shooting had killed quite a number of monsters, Tang Zhen shouted out and gave a thumbs up to Tai Seng and the others before continuing to observe. ”

“After the mounted crossbow was fired, someone immediately began to reload the string and load the arrow. The movement was very fast. ”

“The trebuchets on the side took advantage of the gap between the ballistae and the monsters to fire bullets. The bullets whistled and hit the monsters, turning their targets into minced meat. ”

“A few more bullets were ejected by the catapult, but they were bullets wrapped in explosives and steel balls. They fell into the group of monsters with an ignited fuse and exploded in an instant. ”

“The bullets that Tang Zhen had inserted into the explosives were extremely powerful. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere in the group of monsters. It was unknown how many monsters were affected by the steel balls that flew out from the explosion, leaving deep bloody holes all over their bodies. ”

The first wave of the catapults had killed at least a hundred monsters.

“However, the charging monsters were not frightened by the power of the ballistae and catapults. Instead, they howled madly and jumped over the trenches one after another. ”

“During this period, many monsters did not jump over and fell into the trenches in fear. Some monsters were pushed into the trenches by their companions behind them and then pierced through the heart. Their screams before they died echoed through the valley, but they still could not stop the crazy monsters behind them. ”

“There were too many monsters. When the bottom of the trench was filled with monster corpses, the monsters that fell in could climb out again, and the damage they suffered was reduced. ”

“Seeing this, Tang Zhen took out his walkie-talkie and gave his first order. ”

“After hearing the command from the walkie-talkie, thousand Dragons immediately drew his bow and shot. At the same time, ten archers also raised their sharp arrows wrapped in burning fireballs and fired at the same time. ”

“These fire arrows drew an arc in the air and directly fell into a small pit that was dug out in advance. Immediately after, a flame soared into the sky and quickly formed a line of fire that connected to the huge trench. ”

“””Bang!”” ”

“The flames rose from the trenches and formed a huge wall of fire, blocking the charging monsters! ”
