On the plain facing the front of Thanatos City, a large number of trebuchets were lined up. These were accumulated by various mercenary groups, and they were urgently replenished when they learned that they were going to attack the main city of the system.
A total of 6,144 vehicles were purchased. Although the quality varied, Sheng had an overwhelming advantage in quantity.
The sound of more than 6,000 trebuchets pulling out their bow arms is simply soothing. The creaking sound is like noise pollution, making the players' eardrums hurt, but when these trebuchets throw stone projectiles
When we went there, all the players present had already forgotten how uncomfortable the sound was. Instead, they all opened their mouths in an O shape in shock!
The moment the trebuchet threw the stone bombs, the entire sky turned black... It was like the scene when a volcano erupted and all the soil was thrown out. More than six thousand stone bombs, if placed in reality,
The total weight is estimated to be several hundred tons. It is these hundreds of tons of stones that are smashing towards the city wall of Thanatos City. Such a scene is already good if the players' jaws are not dropped in shock.
Okay... The attackers have been frightened like this, so what about the defenders? Those players who deliberately chose to stay in Thanatos to cause trouble saw the overwhelming stones coming from the city wall.
By that time, they had already been stunned. Some people even screamed in fear and simply lay on the ground holding their heads.
Because they only had one thought at the time, that they were going to be buried alive... This scene was so grand and terrifying. The real sense made everyone forget that this was in a game, and they could only face the arrival.
It was just an instinctive reaction to the attack. The players who stayed behind Thanatos felt extremely regretful at this time, feeling that they really shouldn't have come to join in the fun.
Not to mention both sides of the war, even those watching the excitement from a distance could not help but gasp at the huge rain of stones from the trebuchet. The huge pressure formed by this quantity was really shocking.
Shocked.
However, the first wave of attacks by the coalition forces did not have the expected effect. When the trebuchet attack fell over Thanatos City, it was blocked by a thin light curtain.
It didn't hit the city wall.
It's an enchantment! Every main city in the system has a powerful defensive force!
The barrier is generally invisible because it is completely transparent. Players can only see it when they are resisting attacks. When those large numbers of stone bullets are intercepted by the barrier,
A sheet of blue ripples rippled across the entire sky above Thanatos City. These ripples easily relieved the force of the stone bullets, allowing them to be bounced away or slide down, until all the stone bullets were blocked.
Afterwards, these rippling ripples slowly dissipated and returned to their original transparency.
When Lao Yao and the other legion commanders saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other solemnly. The defensive power of this barrier was really terrifying. Although the damage to the barrier could not be seen, the
It was so easy to block the attack of more than 6,000 stone bullets, one can imagine his ability.
However, other than continuing to attack, the old demon and the others had no other solution... After Thanatos City was attacked, it naturally entered a counterattack state. There were a total of 180 defense towers on the east wall. This number was
It is several times the size of the player city, but for the main city of the system, this is just a defensive force arranged on a city wall, and as the main city of the system, the levels of these defense towers are naturally the highest.
Take the arrow tower as an example. The giant crossbow arrows fired from the arrow tower in Thanatos City were not one, but three. They were shot out in the form of a small fan, instantly piercing the players' arrows.
The machine's protective formation was directly destroyed by dozens of trebuchets!
"Thicken the protective formation!"
As a last resort, the coalition forces had to use such stupid methods to defend themselves. Since they don't know when the barrier of Thanatos City will be broken, these siege equipment are particularly important now, lest the barrier wall be gone by then.
After breaking through, all the siege equipment was killed. It was funny at that time... Before the players' protective formations could thicken, several red light spots suddenly flashed on the wall of Thanatos City opposite.
!
Some people didn't see it clearly, but some people did. Several exclamations rang out on the battlefield: "Be careful!"
The red light spots came so fast. Before anyone else could react to the exclamations, those light spots had already landed in the crowd, and then a burst of dazzling red light suddenly erupted, followed by several huge blasts.
The roar has already resounded throughout the battlefield!
The red light point exploded after landing! The huge fire wave swallowed up the surrounding players in an instant. Everyone only heard a series of screams, and then saw that the place where it landed was cleared.
There was a large area with corpses of players all lying around.
A red light spot caused at least hundreds of deaths after the explosion. In this way, thousands of coalition players were collectively killed!
"What the hell is that!" Everyone gasped.
The old demon's pupils shrank for a while. The reason was that this attack method was too much like an artillery piece. Wasn't the red light spot the scene when the cannonball exploded?
"It's the Dragon Breath Cannon!" Warring States said suddenly from the side.
Several legion commanders all looked at him in confusion, and he said calmly: "Tanatos City is a dragon city. There are four such magic cannons on each city wall. They are... very powerful!"
"This... what should we do with this?" Burning Blood Tattoo asked dumbfoundedly: "Such a range attack is impossible to dodge now!"
He was telling the truth. Millions of people are crowded on this plain, and it is already very good to be able to form a formation. Do you still want to expect that players can distance themselves from each other to reduce casualties?
Warring States glanced at him, shook his head and said: "There is no way, we must be prepared for huge casualties..."
Everyone was speechless for a while. With such a huge coalition lineup, they all felt a little uncontrollable excitement in their hearts. They thought that conquering the main city of the system should be a sure thing, but the reality poured cold water on everyone.
How could the main city of the system be defeated so easily?
The old demon didn't say anything, but contacted the celebrities all over the world. Hongye City's secret weapon, the ancient war weapon refreshed through the Tower of Miracles, had already been arranged. The specific details of the freezing magic cannon guidance device
What is his ability like? The old demon also wants to take a look.
Celebrity World quickly gave him an answer, telling him that it was about to start, and the five-minute charging time was coming!
During this period, the trebuchets from the coalition forces carried out a second round of strikes, but they were still blocked by the barrier. The players were looking forward to watching the barrier of Thanatos City collapse.
The result was disappointment once again.
However, at this moment, a huge ice-blue light pillar suddenly poured down from the sky above Thanatos City, dyeing the entire sky blue!
The players looked at this dazzling beauty in stunned silence, not understanding what was going on. On the contrary, Warring States, who was next to the old demon, looked at it with concentration. He turned to the old demon and said, "Yours?"
The old demon nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the light pillar. After the light pillar fell, the barrier of Thanatos City appeared again, but the difference was that this time the barrier was not completely
Blocking the light beam emitted by the freezing magic cannon guidance device, the light beam penetrated the barrier light curtain and went straight down, landing on a city wall!
The duration of the light beam did not last long, just over ten seconds, and then it quickly disappeared. However, the city wall hit by the light beam was completely stained with blue crystals.
You know, it was frozen!
Thanatos City's second wave of Dragon Breath Cannon attacks were launched at this time, but the difference from before was that the red light spot that appeared this time was missing one. It was shot by the freezing magic cannon guidance device.
The freezing beam just froze a Dragon Breath Cannon!
These are nothing. What surprised everyone the most was that the ripples that rippled out of the barrier after encountering an attack would dissipate immediately after the attack was over, but this time it was penetrated by the freezing magic cannon guidance device.
There was actually a trace of ice on that barrier light curtain, which suddenly stayed in mid-air and refused to dissipate for a long time.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, the trebuchets from the coalition forces launched an attack again, and an overwhelming amount of stone bullets hit them. Except for the others that were blocked by the barrier, the ones that were frozen by the barrier
That part of the boundary was actually smashed open by a stone bullet!
That place is not big, it only covers an area of about 50*50, but under the dense rain of stone bullets, hundreds of stone bullets leaked into this place and hit Thanatos hard.
On the city wall.
The players didn't understand what was going on, but that didn't stop them from shouting excitedly. This was the first time a trebuchet actually hit the wall of Thanatos City!
After seeing this, the old demon couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the actual effect of the freezing magic cannon guidance device was more powerful than he imagined. It could actually penetrate and ignore the barrier.
defensive effect.
Warring States next to him gave the old demon a playful look, then turned his head and continued to look at the city wall... so the old demon failed to notice the flash of light in his eyes... The barrier of Thanatos City was freezing the magic guide.
While the cannon guidance device was charging, it recovered again, but as soon as the five-minute interval expired and the freezing beam was emitted again, a gap would appear in the barrier, allowing the trebuchet's stone projectiles to fall.
Although the effect is not great, it gives players hope. This proves that the barrier of the system's main city is not invincible, and players have the patience to wait until the barrier collapses.
The coalition's trebuchets were attacking, and Thanatos City's defense towers and dragon breath cannons were also fighting back. I don't know how long it took, but the NPC defenders on the walls of Thanatos City suddenly made a move.
