At dawn the next day, Liu Changxu appeared on the tall and broad east wall of Duobao City. Standing on the high wall and looking at the sea from a distance, he felt open-minded and refreshed!
However, thinking of the coming beast tide, Liu Changxu's mood immediately dropped, and he secretly guessed what kind of scene it would be like once the sea monsters filled the sea in front of him, and how he would deal with it!
Looking at the defense of Duobao City, the wall he stands on is undoubtedly a very important part.
Although high city walls cannot block the second-order and above Kraken that can fly at low altitude, they are still the most effective method to deal with the first-order Kraken that cannot fly and are the most numerous.
But the resources consumed in building such a tall and majestic city wall are also staggering.
Liu Changxu estimated that the average city wall was thirty feet high and ten feet wide. The east wall alone was more than fifty miles long. How huge a project of this scale would be.
In addition, in order to maximize the defensive power of the city wall, the main material for building the city wall is the first-class diamond rock, which makes the cost of building the city wall extremely high.
Thinking of this, he had to be impressed by Duobao City's strong financial resources.
Before Liu Changxu could feel too much emotion, sword cultivator Lin Feiyang appeared in front of him quickly.
"Changxu has met Senior Brother Lin! I'm here to take over!"
Liu Changxu stepped forward very enthusiastically and said:
According to the shift arrangement of the city wall guards, the shifts rotate every six hours. Liu Changxu should be on duty during the day today, but in order to familiarize himself with the city wall defense matters as soon as possible, he came a little earlier.
"Junior brother is indeed punctual! You came here so early."
Lin Feiyang replied lukewarmly:
"This little brother is here for the first time and knows nothing about this place. I would like to ask my senior brother for an introduction!"
Liu Changxu expressed his needs sincerely. He thought the request was reasonable and reasonable.
"It's natural!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Feiyang took Liu Changxu to inspect the city wall defense.
Compared with Wu Kun's enthusiasm, Lin Feiyang's attitude towards Liu Changxu was neither enthusiastic nor too cold. When he introduced the defensive personnel and equipment on the city wall, he was concise and to the point!
But from his eyes, it can be seen that he is an extremely proud man, and he always looks at Liu Changxu with a trace of scrutiny and arrogance.
Liu Changxu couldn't figure out why, but he could also see that Lin Feiyang was an aloof person. Although such a person was not very close on the surface, he was real enough.
After Lin Feiyang's introduction and inspection, Liu Changxu also had a general understanding of the defense of the east city wall.
The opening and control of the city defense formation are usually in the hands of Jindan Dzogchen monk Li Tianyang.
After the entire city defense formation is activated, there are four levels according to defense and counterattack capabilities.
The lowest level can only defend against the attack of the first-level sea monster, because this level consumes the least spiritual stones, and it is also the level that is usually turned on.
When the second level of the formation is activated, it can withstand the attacks of the second-level and below-level sea monster groups. The amount of spiritual stones consumed to activate and maintain this level of defense is an order of magnitude higher than that of the first level.
The third level can resist the attack of the third level siren.
By analogy, the fourth level can defend against the attack of the fourth level sea monster.
In addition to relying on the powerful defensive power of the city defense formation, Duobao City's most effective weapon in dealing with the impact of the beast tide is the spiritual cannon set up on the top of the city.
Spirit cannons use high-grade spiritual stones as energy sources and are mainly equipped on skyships and large cities. They have the power to destroy heaven and earth.
However, there are only two spiritual cannons deployed on the east wall. Judging from the caliber, they should be the least powerful ones.
Even so, it is quite good to have two spiritual cannons stationed on the east city wall. Not only is this kind of powerful weapon expensive to build, but its consumption during wartime is also extremely terrifying.
Liu Changxu saw the spirit cannon at close range for the first time today, so he looked at it very carefully.
This spiritual cannon looks very simple. It consists of three parts: barrel, body and mount.
The barrel is about five feet long. The outer wall of the barrel is made of high-grade spiritual gold. The inner tube is a jade pillar made of high-grade spiritual jade. One end of the muzzle is as smooth as a mirror.
In fact, the most critical component of the spirit cannon is this jade pillar. The entire jade pillar is made of lightning jade, and the entire jade pillar has extremely complex seal carvings.
The body of the cannon is even larger. It is made of high-grade spiritual gold and spiritual jade. Not only is it engraved with extremely complex formation restrictions, but it is also equipped with grooves for placing high-grade spiritual stones.
The gun mount is also made of high-level spiritual gold. Its most important function is to urge the gun barrel to turn and aim. It is also engraved with a complex forbidden array.
The entire spirit cannon is generally refined by the city lord himself, but the specific controller is the late-stage foundation-building monk.
The specific operator of the spiritual cannon that Liu Changxu was looking at was a Foundation-Building Dzogchen monk named Su Ze. Judging from his gray hair, he was estimated to be at least one hundred and fifty years old.
When he saw the young Jindan monk coming to learn about the spiritual cannon, he did not dare to hold back at all and told Liu Changxu what he knew without any reservation.
However, Lin Feiyang secretly despised Liu Changxu's ignorance about spiritual cannons! He did not expect that the majestic Qingyun Sect's true disciples did not even understand spiritual cannons.
Although Liu Changxu was aware of Lin Feiyang's disdainful attitude, he still continued to inquire:
"Brother, have you ever used this spiritual cannon?"
"Master Qi! I have been operating the spiritual cannon for more than thirty years. I have experienced no less than ten battles. I have used this spiritual cannon three times. I have shot two third-level sea monsters and two sea monsters below the second level.
The demons shot and killed countless people."
When talking about his past combat experience, Su Ze seemed very excited.
After all, being able to kill the third-level sea monster with a spiritual cannon is easy to say, but not easy to do. He can kill a third-level sea monster with a spiritual cannon with a foundation-building cultivation level, which can be called fighting beyond the level.
Although the powerful killing weapon of the spirit cannon is powerful in use, it is not satisfactory in use! It is a typical example of high cost and poor use effect.
As for the reason, the main reason is that the spiritual cannon is too large and bulky, and it is a big problem to control and aim. Moreover, the range of the spiritual light bullet is effective, so it is not easy to aim and kill high-level monks and monsters with keen senses.
"It's not easy for me to be able to kill the third-order sea monster with this cannon!"
Liu Changxu couldn't help but encourage:
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Lin Feiyang was very impatient with Liu Changxu and Su Ze, the Foundation-Building Dzogchen monk in front of him, who kept talking. He left before Liu Changxu could finish the conversation.
"Junior brother, is there anything else? If nothing happens, I will take the first step."
Liu Changxu also reacted at this time. He had just asked Su Ze about the situation of the spirit cannon. He ignored the senior brother and quickly replied:
"Thank you for your help, senior brother. Just now, junior brother has basically understood the situation here! Senior brother, please go slowly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the senior brother Lin in front of him flew away, and Liu Changxu also started his first duty in Duobao City.
