This is a prosperous continent and county located in the southwest of the dynasty. There are many schools in the continent. Many students from the twenty-seven southwest continents travel thousands of miles to study here.
But as the world gradually became chaotic, the original prosperity also gradually dissipated.
The pine resin on the torch burned cracklingly, exuding the smell of pine oil and burnt smoke. On the city wall at night, soldiers wearing brown wooden armor patrolled back and forth, scanning the dark wilderness outside. Occasionally, soldiers would talk to each other.
, talking about today’s hidden worries.
"Did you hear that?" A soldier suddenly stopped and looked outside the city wall.
"Don't scare me if you hear anything."
Several companions on the side also turned their attention.
"I seem to hear a cry coming from a very far away place." As he spoke, he pointed to the pitch-black wilderness outside.
"Why didn't I hear it? Did you hear it wrong?"
"This area is so dark, how can you see clearly..."
"No way, could it be that Yanqu is here?" Several people looked outside anxiously.
Yanqu is a strange beast that appeared in Qianzhou a few months ago. It has a leopard head and a dragon body, two wings on its back, six claws on the ground, and blue fur.
As soon as this beast appeared, floods continued and rivers burst their banks. Within a few days, the island was reduced to a swamp, and the continent was in chaos. After receiving the news, factions from nearby counties jointly attacked, but unfortunately it ended in failure.
This alien beast is no longer just an ordinary eighth-level monster. It has devoured and manipulated the dragon veins of the local counties. It is a genuine dragon-veined alien beast. In ancient times, once such an alien beast was born, it would either be a natural disaster or a disaster.
Auspiciousness appears in this world, but judging from the results, it is often the former.
In the barbaric era before the Five Phoenixes appeared, such powerful and strange beasts were often worshiped as gods or totems by tribes in various places, and sometimes blood sacrifices and other rituals were held to please them, so that the tribes could live in the local area.
However, with the birth of the Five Phoenixes and the establishment of the dynasty, such scenes have long been forgotten by people. Now when such dragon-veined beasts appear again, everyone is caught off guard, and they make mistakes in judgment, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Probably not, there is Shipizhou between us and Qianzhou, no matter what..." The soldier said, suddenly stopped, his mouth slightly opened, half-opened sideways under the light of the fire
His face remained motionless, looking at the wilderness outside the wall.
"Why did you stop? I..." The companion on the side also turned his head as he spoke, and his voice suddenly got stuck. At this time, he also understood why his companion didn't speak.
In the dark wilderness, pairs of blood-red eyed children ran as fast as sparks, silently, but the eyed children had already exposed their existence. The bells rang rapidly on the towers, and the whimpering horns sounded, everywhere.
The sound of shouting and running.
After discovering these incoming monsters, the sound of gongs and drums was heard everywhere in Yahu City. Soon after, with the nervous eyes of every household, groups of soldiers set off from the military camp, carrying firearms and weapons, and walked through
Street, running towards the tower.
"Set up the cannon and fire!"
Following the order from the lieutenant in bright red armor, a dazzling fireball was fired from the cannon and slowly rose into the sky. It burned violently and emitted a dazzling flame, illuminating the land outside the wilderness.
The monsters that had been hidden in the dark night suddenly appeared in the light of the fire. These monsters had different shapes, some were like foxes, some were like leopards, and some seemed to be aquatic beasts. They were on the ground.
He was running as if being driven by something, and at the end of his field of vision, a wave of turbid water had washed over him.
"The monster is coming——"
"The monster is coming——"
Various cries of surprise rang out from the city walls, which made the residents in the city even more uneasy. Many people began to pray silently in front of the lights, praying for a smooth day.
"Are the cannons ready?" the lieutenant on the city wall asked eagerly.
"Sir, hurry up, 50 cannons will be ready soon."
According to common sense, even if Yahu City was the state capital of Zheyezhou, there would not be so many cannons. However, the situation was critical now, so Zhou Mu and the captain tried their best to gather and plunder more weapons and equipment.
"Get ready immediately and fire!"
Finally, just when these monsters were about to hit the city wall, the artillery behind them was also loaded. After each gun was fired with blazing fire, the wheels retreated a certain distance, and then the soldiers adjusted the loading and ignited again.
While the changes in the Western Continent were in full swing, the dynasties in the East also learned and imitated to a certain extent. Although they were still lagging behind the top firearms, they would not lag far behind in terms of standing artillery.
A huge explosion exploded among the monster beasts, flying away many weak monster beasts, but some of them became more ferocious after being injured.
After experiencing the baptism of artillery fire, the remaining monsters continued to approach the city wall. At this time, the continuous sound of firecrackers was heard, the long green smoke floated in the firelight, and the rich smell of fire and salt filled the air.
The bullets penetrated the fur of the monster beasts, shooting out dark red blood flowers. Some monster beasts howled and dodged, and then continued to approach. When they approached the city wall, they jumped up and followed the walls of the city wall. Climbing through gaps and stone walls, he rushed towards the soldiers who were overlooking the shooting.
Seeing these monster beasts scurrying up, the soldiers holding fire guns on the city wall quickly retreated, and the soldiers holding shields behind them stepped forward. Then they felt the shields in their hands sink, and a force of impact came, causing the shields to deflect. The smelly fangs popped out from the top of the shield and went straight towards the neck, only to be stopped by the long knife.
The white and yellow teeth bit the blade tightly, and there were bloody red wounds in the black mouth and tongue. The claws on both sides continued to tear at the shield and armor, drawing ravines, causing sizzling tearing and friction. Voice.
Even though he was wearing thick armor, the soldier was still frightened by the stench and vicious teeth of Chi Chi. Taking advantage of the moment when the beast's momentum slowed down, he kicked out and kicked it off the tower. Then he waved his blade and fought with other monsters that rushed towards him again.
Facing the cold blade in the firelight, some monsters jumped up quickly and rushed towards the soldiers' heads. Some even wanted to get behind and attack. Fortunately, there were enough people on the wall at this time to prevent these monsters from succeeding.
But with the fighting on the city wall, the positions originally used for shooting were also occupied. The soldiers holding the firecrackers had to put down the firecrackers and take out their swords and guns for close combat. There were sounds of killing everywhere. Compared with the soldiers on the city wall, , the monster beasts in the wilderness seemed to be endless. Although most of them were only level 1-3, the victory was in their large numbers. Gradually, gaps began to appear on the city wall. Some monster beasts ran into the city, and bursts of exclamations and wailings were immediately heard. .
"The Fire Tower Gate is here, all disciples, follow me to kill the enemy!" On the chaotic streets, a group of strong men wearing iron armor and holding iron fire mechanisms appeared.
These people opened the square iron box in their hands, held it up with one hand, and turned the handle on the mechanism box with the other hand. Then sharp arrows shot out from the iron box, swishing through the air, piercing the attacking monsters, and soon Come on, the streets were filled with iron arrowheads and corpses of monsters.
"Thank you for saving your life!" Some people who escaped were extremely grateful to these strong men. These Fire Tower Sect disciples who used to be considered vicious have now become so approachable and reassuring.
"No need to thank you very much. You should hurry up and take shelter in the rear. Don't get close to the city wall."
"Yes, yes, everyone, follow me, hurry up." As they said, these people from the neighboring outer city dragged and carried their families and walked quickly towards the back of the street.
Afterwards, these Fire Tower Sect disciples continued to patrol the streets with the iron fire box mechanism, constantly shooting the monsters that ran into the city.
Time passed slowly, and the fighting on the city wall became more and more intense. Some practitioners and small factions in the city also continued to join in to fill the gaps that were gradually opening on the city wall. Now that a disaster was imminent, they also knew that if this happened
If the city falls, they will inevitably be unable to protect themselves. Currently, they must help the defenders resist the beast tide in order to survive.
Yahuang City is the mountain gate of Huotamen. Compared with other factions, there are more strong men with iron fire traps in the city. Although Huotamen is not a big sect, it is well-known in several nearby continents.
.
Relying on orders from the dynasty officials, the Fire Tower Sect, which mainly attacks organs and firearms, has expanded rapidly in the past twenty years. The number of people has expanded from a few hundred at the beginning to tens of thousands at present. The weakest disciples in the sect are only third level, and the leader is generally five.
level, and as the leader of the sect, he has level 7 strength.
According to rumors, the master of the fire tower is about three feet tall, with a body like an iron tower and four arms like steel. He can spit fire and shoot arrows from three sides, which is very human.
Although there are suspicions of exaggeration and rumors, the leader of the Fire Tower Sect did fight against an eighth-level monster and repelled it, so he became famous. Some time ago, five factions besieged the "Yanqu" monster
, the Fire Tower Sect was also involved, but it was a pity that this time was different from the past. Nayanqu was a dragon-veined beast, far beyond the ordinary monsters. The five sects' masters suffered numerous casualties, and even the leader of the Fire Tower Sect was killed.
The armored firearm mechanism was blown away, fell into the turbulent waves, and disappeared.
Although there are still thousands of Fire Tower Sect disciples stationed in the city, most of them are ordinary disciples, and there are less than a hundred masters of level 5 or above. Facing the incoming beast tide, they can only barely hold on.
"Third Senior Brother, it's not good. We don't have enough arrows."
During the continuous shooting and sniping of monsters, some disciples of the Fire Tower Sect were injured and retreated, and some even lacked ammunition.
"Retreat while walking. There are still a lot of arrows and gunpowder stored in the faction." The tall man with short dark brown hair set up the mechanism in his hand, and then flames spurted out, killing the four monster beasts that were rushing towards him.
It burned into a fireball, and then put away this heavy mechanism.
"Let's go." Several disciples from the Fire Tower Sect called to their fellow disciples, covering each other. Some even supported the injured fellow disciple, carefully retreated, and nervously looked around the street.
Now the streets are full of burned and collapsed ruins. Some houses were set alight in the melee, burning with soaring fires. In the light of the attack, the bronze muscles of several people were illuminated. Sweat, blood, and dust were mixed and reflected.
Give some light.
These people dragged their companions back continuously, repelling monsters that jumped out and attacked from time to time. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the fire tower gate, they could even see the towering five-story stone building in the distance, with lights inside.
It was bright. But a loud roar like a cow's roar sounded in the street, and then with a heavy and ticking sound of hoofs, a black and green four-horned giant bull rushed towards the group of people.
Compared with ordinary buffaloes, this monster giant bull is as tall as five people, with a high hump on its back, giving people an extremely heavy sense of oppression. When breathing from its nostrils, two jets of white gas come out, running all the way.
Later, countless bricks and stones on the street were trampled to pieces, and the four corners of the dark threads smashed into houses and buildings. During the process, several disciples of the Fire Tower Sect were knocked into the air and thrown up, causing many casualties.
"How did such a monster break in?"
Looking at this huge green and black bull that exuded a turbid aura and was extremely powerful, everyone present was shocked and confused, but at this moment they had no good solution. They all picked up the mechanism iron box in their hands and kept rotating the opening. Various arrows and firearms were fired.
Turn and shoot at this monster.
"roar--"
The ferocious beast roared, and the huge bull head swung, easily deflecting the arrow away. Even if it hit, it would be blocked by the thick cowhide, leaving only a pale white mark.
"Use fire, use fire!" After realizing that the arrow was useless, the leading strong man shouted, and then opened the mechanism on the iron box, and a pillar of extremely blazing fire spurted out.
The dazzling pillar of fire was like incandescence, illuminating the night and the streets. After the third senior brother reminded him, the disciples of the Fire Tower Sect beside him also opened the mechanism on the iron box and spewed out the pillar of fire.
Seven or eight pillars of fire drowned the giant bull in his field of vision, and the roar of the giant bull could also be heard from inside. He shook his head and dodged these incoming pillars of fire with some disgust. Then he found that he could not avoid or detour, so he charged again.
The figure gallops in the flames.
I saw the giant bull turn into a huge fireball, and then it smashed through the walls and buildings on the street, approaching everyone, until finally it suddenly ran out among the bricks and smoke, and smashed through the people who were blocking the way.
"You deserve to die!" Seeing the junior brother in front of him being killed by the giant bull, the third senior brother's eyes turned red, his extraordinary core rotated rapidly, and he poured all the magic power from his body into the mechanism box in his hand, spraying out an even more intense and nearly blue fire.
The giant bull was furious in the flames, its eyes were burned by the fire, and it ran blindly and hit every place, crushing buildings everywhere, but it always avoided the third senior brother and continued to attack.
Finally, amid the flames, this Sequence 6 peak monster slowly fell down, like a house collapsing, sending up bursts of smoke and dirt on the ground.
"Hoo, ho, ho..." His arms were already sore, and the organ he had been holding fell to the ground, becoming a crutch to support him from falling down immediately.
After a while, just when he thought that the crisis was over and he could find someone to help him, the sound of running iron hooves came from the end of the street again, and this time it was not just one giant bull, but three.
The monsters with the same strength as the giant bull, one of them is a crocodile covered with green iron scales, one looks like a giant gorilla, with a blue face and huge hands, a burly body, and the last one is completely black with only a few white patterns and a face like
The evil ghost has long fangs and looks like a cow or a deer.
"Bah." Looking at the monster that was coming like an evil wind, the strong man spat and picked up the iron box mechanism in front of him again.
Now even if he wanted to run, he couldn't.
The remaining iron arrows tilted out, and then the blazing pillar of fire appeared on the street again, glowing red.
This kind of attack only stopped the leading black deer for a little while, and then it rushed out and pushed the strong man up, and the sound of broken bones was heard.
Looking at the streets filled with flames and smoke below, he felt as if he was 'floating', and everything in front of him began to resemble a lake.
