Crunch~
The heavy crossbows arranged on the Zhensha Pass city wall were all cocked, and were immediately controlled by Battle Cultivator crossbowmen to adjust the shooting angle.
One sharp Crossbow Bolt points to Sky Dome.
These city-defending heavy crossbows are all first-level Law Artifact, which must be mastered by monks. They have a long range and are powerful. They can easily penetrate black iron armor within a thousand steps, and they have the ability to break spells.
A heavy crossbow is not scary. Even ordinary Demon Beast can dodge the Crossbow Bolt it fires.
But when the number increases to hundreds or even thousands, the lethality of the salvo is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.
Over the past hundreds of years, countless Sand People have died tragically under this heavy crossbow.
However, what Great Ying Battle Cultivator are facing today are countless giant locusts.
Facing the overwhelming incoming insects, the number of heavy crossbows, numbering more than three thousand, seemed sparse.
At the same time, a God Slaying Cannon was quickly pushed out by the Battle Cultivators, taking off his crimson gun jacket, and the black muzzle glowed with a faint glow.
This is the real killer weapon equipped by Zhensha Pass. It is said to be a magic weapon that can blast out ten miles of erosion with one shot and has the power to kill the golden elixir!
There are a total of twelve God Slaying Cannon statues, arranged on a special turret, and the gunners are all peak Qi Condensation monks.
Normally, God Slaying Cannon will only take action when Daying City is in great danger.
Now that the locust army has not arrived, God Slaying Cannon has already been activated, which shows that Grand Commander Kou Shihai thinks it is necessary.
And this also made the Battle Cultivators stationed on the city wall uncontrollably nervous.
Everyone was silent and waiting.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
At this moment, thousands of locust vanguards are approaching Zhensha Pass in the sky.
The buzzing sound emitted by thousands of pairs of trembling wings is like a demonic sound filling the brains, destroying the monks' eardrums!
Snap!
A large locust rushing at the front hit the magic circle barrier, bursting into a bright flame, and then shattered into pieces and turned into a wisp of smoke.
The protective array of Zhensha Pass is the most important part of the protective array of Daying City. It not only has powerful and unparalleled protective capabilities, but can also rebound and damage attacks from the enemy.
This big locust is like a moth flying towards a fire, and it is also fighting against a mountain fire.
The result was no surprise.
But then hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of giant locusts swarmed in and fell on the magic circle barrier.
Some of them exploded after being hit to death, and some burned blazingly, but more of them lay on the translucent barrier, opened their jaws and teeth, and bit with their claws, and then were destroyed by the power of the magic circle.
Countless locust corpses and their ashes fell from the sky.
It seemed like a black rain had fallen!
But this is just the beginning. These locusts have no sense at all. They rush forward one after another, ignoring the death of their own kind. One group is wiped out and the other is pounced on.
It seems endless!
If we only compare individuals, a large locust can be said to be as small as dust compared to a city protection array.
But when their number reached a considerable level, the pressure on the magic circle barrier began to increase, and there was even a trace of instability!
At this time, the Battle Cultivators stationed on the city wall moved.
Thousands of Battle Cultivator waved their hands in unison, and thousands of hot fireballs flew into the sky at the same time.
The flaming sphere passed through the mana barrier without any stagnation and exploded among the locust army.
High in the sky, flames bloomed!
Countless locusts were blown to pieces, ignited, and fell towards the ground one after another.
Battle Cultivator attacked wave after wave, clearing a large area of airspace without using heavy crossbow weapons.
But the number of locusts was too great, and the two sides soon fell into a war of attrition.
It should be said that the Battle Cultivators have the complete upper hand, because they can calmly cast spells on the city wall to attack their opponents, but the locust army cannot break through the magic circle barrier and cannot hurt the monks at all.
This is the power of the city defense formation, which gives the defenders a huge advantage.
However, as time went by, the first batch of Make a Move monks quickly ran out of mana and were forced to retire and take pills to recover.
The second batch of Battle Cultivator continues to top.
At this time new locusts appear.
The new locusts are smaller and darker in color, but can fly faster and more agilely.
The scary thing is that they have a certain degree of intelligence and can avoid the fireballs cast by Battle Cultivators, and their movements are very flexible.
This greatly reduces its own casualties and increases the burden on Battle Cultivators.
Their target is always the city-protecting magic circle. When they land on it, they bite and destroy it with all their strength, increasing the consumption of the magic circle.
For a time, the battle reached a stalemate!
At the same moment, Wang Chen on top of the Seven Star Pavilion saw Kou Shihai rushing over.
Previously Wang Chen had been watching without Make a Move.
Because his duty is to guard Seven Star Pavilion, he cannot act without authorization without receiving instructions from Grand Commander.
Otherwise, it will be easy to destroy the opponent's layout and cause unpredictable consequences!
Unexpectedly, Kou Shihai came in person.
This Grand Commander Gate of Opening said bluntly, "Junior Brother Wang, I need your help."
Wang Chen replied without hesitation, "You say."
The two are not true allies, but they have already established a good relationship, and supporting and helping each other is what they should be.
Kou Shihai said in a deep voice, "I suspect Locust Spawn is coming to the city."
"Locust Spawn?"
Wang Chen was stunned for a moment. "Locusts of locusts?"
This name is no ordinary oddity.
"That's right!"
What is currently attacking Zhensha Pass is a demonized locust that lives in the desert.
Known as: Sand Locust.
This kind of demonized locust is very large and will break out every ten years, attacking and destroying oases in the desert.
The eggs are then laid deep into the sand until they break out of the sand more than ten years later.
And so on.
It is said that Sand Locust can survive for a long time by chewing sand. They were originally the biggest threat to Sand People, but later the wizard in the Sand Tribe developed a method of controlling them and used them to deal with the enemy.
This is not the first time Zhensha Pass has been attacked by Sand Locust!
Before launching the attack, Sand Tribe will send a carefully trained "Locust Spawn" to sneak into Daying City.
This Locust Spawn is equivalent to a humanoid bait. Once the power of blood is stimulated, it can attract hundreds of millions of Sand Locust to swarm in, thus producing an attack effect.
Based on past combat examples, Kou Shihai concluded that Sand Tribe was playing the same trick again.
If this Locust Spawn is not dug out, then Sand Locust will fight to the last one, otherwise it will never stop.
Although it is wishful thinking to capture Daying City by such means, the price paid by Daying City is also quite high.
The most troublesome thing is that Sandfolk hunter cultivator will take the opportunity to bypass Zhensha Pass, sneak into West Sea Spirit Domain, and harass Daying City's rear.
Once the power of Daying City is contained, the damage caused by the hunting cultivator will be very great!
