Fierce Battle Against the Monster Tide, This Is True Strength!
Those chaotic larvae were blasted into dust on the spot before they even hatched.
Two hundred or so shells were fired at once, conservatively estimated to have killed nearly two thousand monsters.
Before the chaotic monsters could react, the second wave of bombardment had already begun.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
Flaming shells streaked through the air, leaving long trails of fire as they blasted away swathes of the enemy!
With the combined firepower of the defensive towers, they blasted all the monsters at the front, even pushing the battle line back two hundred meters!
The artillerymen on the city wall were extremely excited at the sight!
The power of this type of artillery emplacement far exceeds expectations, especially on this kind of battlefield, where it is particularly effective!
Even Shen Xing's lips curled into a smile, and he nodded secretly.
"However... while the Demon Flame Turret is incredibly powerful, it also consumes a significant amount of resources."
"One cannonball consumes 50 Soul Stone. If 245 cannons fire in a salvo, more than 10,000 Soul Stone will be gone."
"Fortunately, these orc gunners are specially trained, their accuracy is quite good, and they are bombarding the areas where the monster hordes are most concentrated."
Shen Xing's gaze swept across the field, and he quickly made some calculations.
Judging from the battle situation on the field, each cannonball can take away at least a dozen, or even a hundred, Chaos Familiars, and is guaranteed to drop a hundred to a thousand Soul Stone.
A single volley of fire can yield at least 40,000 Soul Stone, a sure-fire profit.
With that thought in mind, he felt reassured and allowed the orcs to continue firing.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
Waves of fiery shells rained down, blasting swathes of enemies and forcing the battle lines to retreat continuously.
Relying on the weapons on the city walls and the defensive towers around them, they actually withstood this surging offensive.
Below the city wall, thousands of soldiers, standing ready for battle, looked at each other, their expressions somewhat bewildered.
They're still waiting to show their skills, but it seems they won't have the chance at all.
Of course, this expansion pack is definitely not that simple.
This is just the beginning; countless monsters, as well as some even more bizarre and terrifying beings, lurk within the mist.
Therefore, they still cannot let their guard down.
At that moment, all the troops in the entire territory heard a strange roar.
It sounded like the cry of some kind of animal cub, carrying some kind of special command.
Looking up, one could vaguely see several enormous heads appearing and disappearing within the blood mist.
"Hiss--"
The low-frequency hissing sound quickly spread, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.
In an instant, the Chaos Familiars army, which was already extremely ferocious due to the 100,000 bonds, increased its speed by another huge margin!
Moreover, enormous figures emerged from the fog.
They are over four meters tall, entirely corpse-white, and their frog-like legs move quickly across the ground, making them look like upright frogs.
These are the Chaos Kin: Vanguard Officer, possessing the strength of Tier Three- Leader Rank, and there are many of them.
From all directions, at least twenty vanguard officers charged out simultaneously.
These monsters approached quickly, and when they were within a certain distance, the frog's legs bent slightly, and then it shot out like a human spring!
It's their [Chaos Pounce] skill!
"Boom! Boom boom boom!!"
Like cannonballs fired from a gun, they instantly shot two or three hundred meters away, approaching within five hundred meters of the city wall.
The soldiers guarding below the city wall, seeing the dozen or so Boss monsters attacking, were all on high alert!
East Gate direction.
"Oh! These monsters seem quite powerful!" Da Hou, raising his twin axes, eager to test their strength. "Tier Three Leader Rank, they're certainly worth a fight!"
From the direction of the north gate, Gorehowl looked at the orcs behind him and said loudly, "Open your eyes wide in a moment, and watch how this commander single-handedly crushes these Tier Three Boss!"
The Silver Moon Knights guarding the west gate and Fordring old knight Fording guarding the north gate also raised their shields, ready to block the approaching Boss monster.
Just then, the sound of machinery turning came from the city wall overhead.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Huge crossbow bolts shot through the air, flashing with a deathly light, hurtling towards the dozen or so attacking Boss monsters!
In an instant, the enormous Arrows pierced their deathly white skin, penetrated their flesh, and continued its trajectory toward the monster behind them.
"Puff! Puff puff puff!"
A dense series of piercing sounds filled the air as each Arrows pierced through at least a dozen monsters, leaving dozens of trails of blood hundreds of meters long in the midst of the horde.
The Chaos Vanguard, which was at the forefront and taking the brunt of the concentrated fire, suddenly stopped and then exploded on the spot!
"Bang! Bang bang bang!"
A dozen or so blood flowers exploded in the air, and the larvae were instantly vaporized by the artillery fire before they could even hit the ground.
The generals, who were preparing for a major battle, turned around in a daze and stared at the huge crossbow firing platforms on the city wall, all of them gasping in surprise!
The power of the Storm Crossbow Bolt is terrifying!
"Oh! Lord's cannons and crossbows are too powerful; we didn't even have a chance to make a move!" Da Hou shouted in disappointment.
"Yes, this commander also wants to demonstrate my combat power after breaking through to the hero level. This time, I will definitely kill more enemies than Hellscream!"
"Don't worry, everyone, we'll have our chance to play."
At this moment, Shen Xing also looked around at the battle situation with a gratified expression.
It seems that the ability to defend one's territory is a tiny bit stronger than one had imagined.
I thought tonight would be a fierce battle, but it turned out that we didn't even need the troops to fight. We were able to hold our ground simply by using defensive towers, cannons, and crossbows.
Lord Shen exited the global mode, then leisurely took out the crystal and contacted his allies.
"Wanyin, how are things on your end? Can you hold on?"
A moment later, the girl responded, "I'm fine. The attacking monsters are high-level, mostly second or third tier, but there aren't many of them."
"Not many?" Shen Xing asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" Xia Wanyin replied casually, "There are several thousand monsters so far, but my territory's defense towers, together with my troops, can hold out."
Shen Xing was even more puzzled upon hearing this.
Several thousand monsters may sound like a lot, but they can still have a huge impact on the territories of some Tier Three lords.
But compared to our own situation, it's far inferior.
Could it be... that because their territories are adjacent, all the monsters that were originally attacking Xia Wanyin's territory have come to his?
Or is it that the system feels its territory is many times stronger than Xia Wanyin's, so the number of monsters appearing near its territory is many times greater?
After pondering for a moment and seeing that there were no immediate problems on the territory side, Shen Xing left the Misty Land.
Then I logged into the forum and checked the latest posts!
"As expected of the Monster Tide, its level is incredibly high, and there are so many monsters! It's pushing my territory to its limits!"
Haha! What Blood Mist Frenzy? It seems so-so! My legion can easily crush them!
"Don't let your guard down! This is only the early stage of the strange tide; it will definitely become more difficult later on. Stay vigilant!"
Master Chen Hong's massive city is under siege by a massive horde of monsters, including several Tier Four Overlord Rank monsters!
"Holy crap! Be careful of that big-bellied monster inside; it can hatch hundreds of hatchlings at once..."
Chapter 260: Fierce Battle Against the Monster Tide, This is True Strength!
Shen Xing clicked on each of the posts and glanced at them; they were all discussions about the recent Blood Mist Monster Tide.
The lords shared their battle experiences and the special monsters they encountered in the posts.
However, while there are many monsters encountered in most territories, they are not as numerous as one might imagine, and the situation is currently manageable.
At least unlike Shen Xing's side, they didn't go all out from the start.
"Thinking about it, it makes sense. As mentioned above, this is the early stage of the strange tide; it's impossible for it to be that outrageous right from the start."
"Otherwise, a large amount of territory would be captured on the first night, with countless deaths and injuries, and there would be no point in continuing the fight."
"But we still cannot let our guard down; the horde might continue to grow, and even more terrifying creatures might appear."
Shen Xing pondered to himself, then clicked on the posts about the defense of Master Rank territories and giant cities to take a look.
According to some Pioneer, the monster hordes in these Master Rank territories are terrifyingly large, with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of monsters attacking the territory simultaneously.
Those giant cities are even more terrifying, with waves of monsters numbering in the millions already appearing.
However, these giant cities often have more than one lord, but are home to a dozen or even a hundred lords of Expert Rank or above.
After all, building a giant city requires an enormous amount of resources, which even Master Rank experts cannot afford.
So they used the system's ally function to bring in more lords to invest resources and build together.
It is also known as Pinhaocheng.
Shen Xing also noticed a problem.
That is, the size of the strange group he encountered tonight seems to be similar to that of those Master Rank experts.
"Could it be that because there are two Master Rank heroes in my territory, the challenge difficulty is also Master Rank?"
"Damn it, I knew something was off about the difficulty level."
However, he quickly came to terms with it.
After all, this is a good thing for Shen Xing.
The more monsters you encounter, the more points and Soul Stone you can obtain, and you might even be able to compete for a spot on the leaderboard.
Of course, this is on the premise that one can withstand the impact of a monster of this level.
So far, there don't seem to be any problems.
Shen Xing left the forum and then switched back to Green Bubble.
Their five-person discussion group has already received many more messages.
She and Her Cat: "Hahaha, as expected of the Blood Mist Monster Tide! There are so many monsters, and they're only at the first or second tier! This queen has had a blast killing them!"
"Cilantro Who Loves to Play": "Indeed, after one night, I'm guaranteed to get at least 70,000 to 80,000 points. Just the Soul Stone and soul fragments that drop are a considerable reward."
Then he tagged I Eat Eat Eat Eat and asked, "Where's Jiayi? Why isn't she saying anything?"
