A swift and clean kill of a Calamity Beast.
Without pausing, Han Ling slightly shifted the muzzle of her gun, instantly locking onto the Fourth Tier insectoid Calamity Beast wielding a bone blade on the other side of her flank.
"Bang!"
Bullets whistled through the air.
However, this insect-shaped Calamity Beast seemed to have noticed the Seventh Tier leopard-like Calamity Beast from before.
It reacted with lightning speed, grabbing a bewildered, unknown Calamity Beast next to it and using it as a shield!
"Boom--"
The bullet exploded, but only killed the innocent, unknown Calamity Beast.
"Bang! Bang!"
Han Ling's eyes were icy cold as she fired two more shots at tricky angles.
But the insect-shaped Calamity Beast was exceptionally agile, accurately grabbing nearby low-level Calamity Beast each time to act as meat shields.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Han Ling's eyes remained unwavering as she moved the gun to the next target.
"My God..." Yu Yanhui stared at the scene just now with her mouth slightly open, her eyes filled with shock.
She had seen slaying Calamity Beast before.
But this was the first time she had ever seen someone so clean and efficient from such a distance!
Many people nearby also looked over in surprise.
It must be said that the swift and decisive attack and defense just now left a deep impression on them, and they even subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
With someone this capable around, things should be much easier, right?
This idea has surfaced in the minds of many people.
The same Yu Yanhui also came to mind.
"Watch out, don't get distracted!" Lin Zhaoran snapped, pulling Yu Yanhui back to reality.
Yu Yanhui snapped out of her daze and nodded hastily.
Soon, the vanguard of the beast tide reached within three kilometers of the city wall!
"Buzz--"
The pale blue indicator light came on.
Nearby, the automatic patrol machine guns towering high on the city wall began to rotate.
They adjusted their positions, aiming their guns at the Calamity Beast not far away.
The fire control system instantly locked onto the dense array of heat sources below.
The gun barrel rotates.
Then.
"Da da da da da--!!!"
Gunfire erupted like a torrential downpour.
The bullets flew in discontinuous lines, raining down on the Calamity Beast below.
Clumps of blood splattered, and figures fell one after another.
Many of these fallen figures were shot down by automatic turrets, while others were shot down by soldiers hiding in the city walls.
"Roar--"
His scarlet eyes gleamed.
A Fourth Tier long-armed Calamity Beast let out a fierce roar.
He reached out to the side, grabbed a low-level Calamity Beast, and threw it violently at a turret that was unleashing a hail of bullets.
The turret rotated, trying to keep up, but it seemed too late.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the automatic turret that was unleashing a barrage of fire was slammed to the side, its barrel Distortion, and after flickering a few times, it went completely out of commission.
This seems to be a signal.
More mid- to high-tier Calamity Beast with ranged attack capabilities or special abilities began to follow suit.
They might throw stones or Calamity Beast, or spew acid or energy blasts.
Their targets were all those points on the city walls that were attacking them.
"Everyone, prioritize eliminating those Calamity Beast with ranged attack capabilities!" A somewhat aged voice rang out in everyone's communication devices.
Han Ling immediately turned her gun around.
"Bang!"
The head of an ape- Calamity Beast that had just lifted a stone exploded.
"Bang!"
Another Calamity Beast, which was gathering power and whose mouth was filled with energy beams, had its lower jaw shattered, and the energy exploded out of control within its mouth.
More inspectors, also capable of ranged attacks, began to take action.
All sorts of moves flew through the air.
Beside him, energy surged wildly; before his eyes, blood splattered everywhere, and Calamity Beast fell as if they were free.
Shi Ruiyuan swallowed hard and turned to look at his side.
" Brother Hu..."
"Don't think too much, just prepare for battle!" Wang Hu interrupted Shi Ruiyuan.
He crossed his arms, his eyes fixed on the approaching Calamity Beast below.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Ruiyuan took a deep breath, nodded, and turned his gaze downwards.
Although I knew this beforehand, and there had been attempts to deal with small-scale group battles before, this kind of situation is different...
Just then, that aged voice came through the headset again.
"All melee fighters, Third Tier, stay on the walls and guard; Fourth Tier, go down, don't let them come up!"
This... Shi Ruiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze subconsciously turned to the side again.
Wang Hu was already walking towards the edge of the city wall.
His figure, in this process, began to grow larger and stronger...
Hair, texture, claws...
"Bang!"
A heavy thud echoed from below the city wall.
All around, figures leaped forward.
Shi Ruiyuan gritted his teeth and followed, jumping down.
"Roar--"
The sounds of exploding shells, the roars of automatic weapons, the howls and wails of Calamity Beast, the shouts and commands of the soldiers...
The war has officially begun!
