Chapter 397: Fighting Beast Tide (Part 2)
The city defense is temporarily taken over by ordinary soldiers. However, who knows when the next round of beast tide will appear? All the soul beast army needs is a slight adjustment. Perhaps, after devouring the bodies of those soul beasts of the battle-dead soul beasts, they will make a comeback.
The transportation of the Tang Sect has been completed. There are twenty-one Zhuge divine crossbows in stock, but none of them are specially customized heavy Zhuge divine crossbows in the city, but the slightly less powerful but much more flexible level 5 Zhuge divine crossbows.
During the previous three hours of battle, among the thirty-two Zhuge divine crossbows on the city, five of them temporarily lost their effectiveness due to overheating. Xuan Ziwen, the head of the Tang Sect Soul Guide Hall, who arrived in time, was repairing it himself.
Beibei and others also had a very serious expression. Yu Hao was safe, which was a great thing for them, but what should I do with the beast tide in front of me? No one knew how long it would take for Shrek to resist this beast tide. Although the loss of this first battle just now was not large, the consumption was not small. Hundreds of sealed milk bottles had been evacuated with their soul power. In this case, even if it was replenished, it would not be possible to only charge the next beast tide. And those one-time-consuming shock bombs can be replenished.
In addition to Zhuge Shenbiao, the Tang Sect also provided more than 110 soul guides of various types. More importantly, there were 2,152 fixed-mounted soul guide shells. When this number was placed in front of all the old masters of the Sea God Pavilion, all the old masters were shocked. You must know that so many fixed-mounted soul guide shells are astronomical money themselves! Where did the Tang Sect get such financial resources?
In desperation, Beibei had to tell the story of Huo Yuhao and his friends looting the underground warehouse of the Sun and Moon Empire. Now, the old men of the Sea God Pavilion already knew about Huo Yuhao's sacrifice by Wang Qiuer.
The Su Laos did not express anything at the first time. The Tang Sect used their actions to prove their absolute support for Shrek. Moreover, Huo Yuhao was sacrificed by auspicious beasts when he was dying. Can this be said to be his fault? The beast tide in front of him seemed to be the introductory. However, the Su Laos were sensible after all, and no one said anything blamed.
However, this also made the Tang Sect members led by Beibei decide to fight to the end for Shrek in this battle. For the Tang Sect, for Yu Hao, and for Shrek. They are the Shrek Seven Monsters themselves! Although the Seven Monsters are missing now, the remaining five of them will also defend the glory of Shrek!
The second beast tide arrived later than expected. The soul beast seemed to be tired, and after resting for more than two hours. When the sky gradually became late and the sun sets west, a shrill beast roar sounded, and a large number of soul beasts appeared again at the other end of the plain.
Soul beasts are not all fools, and the top powers also have human-level wisdom. Fighting at night is much more unfavorable for humans than during the day. Because humans themselves are creatures that lie on the night and come out of the day. Their spirits will be much more concentrated during the day. Moreover, for most humans, their vision at night is much worse.
But soul beasts are different. Many soul beasts come out at night. They are better at fighting at night.
After discussing, the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest decided to use the power of night to launch a second wave of offensive.
Endless beast tides surged, rushing towards Shrek's reef-like city again. This time, they were even more surging.
The roar of Zhuge's God's crossbow gun sounded again, and Mr. Song also soared at the high altitude of the battlefield again. With her restraint, the auxiliary ability of the Emerald Swan Brigitte was greatly weakened. The soul guide in Shrek City was also able to fully exert its performance. The collision between the two sides soon entered a white-hot state.
The soul masters fought bravely, and the soul beasts charged wildly. Under the city of Shrek, it was like a meat grinder, constantly devouring the soul beast's life.
However, the attacks of the soul beasts have also improved significantly compared to the first time. The soul beasts who are good at long-range attacks are obviously separated from the soul beasts who are good at melee combat. They rushed in front of melee, and supported from behind to suppress the city. The soul masters responsible for releasing the soul guide shield have increased greatly, and the amount of soul power consumption is also increasing sharply.
However, even so, with the support of a large number of sealed bottles, they still resisted it. On the top of the city, the casualties of auxiliary soldiers began to increase. When the soul guide shield was attacked in a dense manner, there would inevitably be short-term flaws. Some attacks would fall on the top of the city, and some would scream, some would be injured and dead.
The battlefield at night is even more dazzling, and the lights and shadows of various colors of soul skills are constantly flashing and bursting in the air. If you look down from the sky, it is like a bunch of dazzling fireworks. Every firework blooms, which means that life may end. More fireworks will eventually bring blood.
War is cruel, this is true between humans and humans, and so is the war between humans and soul beasts.
In order to resist the surging beast tide, on the Shrek Academy, the students of the inner academy and the titled Douluo finally began to take turns to take action. Only their actions can suppress those soul beasts.
From time to time, a bright light lit up on the city wall. Every student from the inner courtyard was close to his post and worked hard for defense.
Compared with the first wave of beast tide, the intensity of this battle increased by more than doubled. When the beast tide finally faded away again, it was already dawn, and this battle lasted for a whole night.
The city was no longer calm, and moans were heard one after another. The number of casualties had exceeded five hundred. Although the main ones were the injured, more than one hundred soldiers died.
The Shrek City Defense Forces have only tens of thousands of people! The soul beasts can be consumed, but Shrek can't afford it.
Of course, the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were not able to get it well in the battle that night. The number of soul beasts they lost was at least 20,000. Among them, there were soul beasts of ten thousand years who died in battle. Under the night sky, the light shining of countless soul rings was particularly obvious, forming a strange scene, just like the souls of the soul beasts were crying in woe.
The damage of Zhuge Divine Crossbow cannon is even greater. In addition to the fourteen gates that are temporarily unavailable due to overheating, there are three gates that explode. Six gates are destroyed by the soul beasts that are good at long-range attacks. This is a level 6 soul guide! Each one is priceless. The soul beasts obviously hate them deeply, so they attack them in a concentrated manner.
More than half of the Zhuge Divine Crossbows were damaged, and the fifth-level Zhuge Divine Crossbows provided by the Tang Sect had to go to the front line in advance.
The fixed-mounted soul-guided artillery shells also played a great role in the night battle. With their long-range attack ability, they dispersed attacks, which brought a great restraint to the beast tide. However, the number of fixed-mounted soul-guided artillery shells has dropped to less than 2,000. This thing is not something that can be made in a short while. Every time one is consumed, it is a lot of money! Just look at Xuan Ziwen's ugly face.
This is the first day when the beast tide comes. The consumption of soul guides is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the fatigue of the warriors.
Although I had a few hours of rest in the middle, because I didn't know when the beast tide would come again, that rest was not enough to restore everyone's energy. During the battle that night, even with the elite of the Shrek City Defense Forces, most of them sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, as if they were about to fill their lungs with air.
The consumption of soul power and physical energy are huge for them. They are already very tired.
All the sealed bottles were exhausted in the battle last night and had to be recharged before they could be used. Although this also made most of the three thousand soul masters still maintain more than half of their soul power, their physical and mental fatigue could not be recovered by the bottle.
All soul masters above the Sixth Ring Road were taking turns to rest. Even though the battle last night was so intense, the titled Douluo did not really take full advantage. Because they knew very well that once they tried their best and their soul power was consumed to a certain extent, the real strong men would have to take action in the Star Dou Forest. Only when they were reserved can they deal with the beast tide last longer.
When will reinforcements arrive?
The current Shrek City has become an isolated city. Although the arrogance of the soul beasts makes them still mainly attack the South Gate, the soul beast army still surrounded the entire Shrek City. The other three walls are also subject to different degrees of attacks. The outside world's news is no longer able to enter Shrek City. The advanced equipment like the telecommunication soul guide is only available in the Sun and Moon Empire, and the Shrek Academy is still in a state of research.
In an lonely city, there is only a death battle.
The civilians and merchants in Shrek City had all started to deliver food and water. As soon as the battle stopped, all kinds of food were sent to the top of the city.
Shrek City is very rich and the city has sufficient food. Under the leadership of some big merchants, they provided free high-nutrition food for the soldiers on the city. Many merchants sent their caravan guards to the top of the city. As long as they were soul masters, they followed Shrek's unified arrangement.
This is not their generosity, but for survival. The battle between humans and soul beasts is different from that between humans and humans.
If the enemy is a human, even if the city is broken, the civilians and merchants in the city will still have a chance to survive, and they will still be able to survive well. However, the enemy is a soul beast. Once the city is broken, there will be only one ending, bloodbathing.
Therefore, at this time, no matter how great the wealth is, it is not as important as its own life. The merchants do not care about being stingy at all. They take out their best things and give them all to the city wall as long as they can help.
