Doomsday Code

Chapter 706 Death Barrage

The guild is indeed a vicious tiger. Regardless of whether what Chen Cheng said is true or not, as long as an agreement is reached, they will make a lot of money in the end.

Chen Cheng had already anticipated the guild's demands.

Now it is our side that is begging the guild, so we have no choice but to agree to it.

But there is still a long way to go, so regardless of the humiliation suffered today, saving people should be the priority.

Chen Cheng took out the Prince's Seal that Huidun had given him, looked at Melo and said:

"Aunt Mei, I signed this contract on behalf of His Highness."

"But one thing must be made clear. The side protected by the guild elders must ensure that there will be absolutely no casualties due to the beast tide within three days.

And all the harvest from this beast tide will belong to the Kingdom of Moss.

If anyone is killed or injured by the beast tide, the contract will be voided, and the guild elders can simply evacuate."

This was Chen Cheng’s last request.

Because if these guys just come and do nothing, there is no such good thing in the world.

But Melo frowned when he heard it, and finally he looked down upon the so-called loot guild.

However, Chen Cheng's requirement that the side guarded by the elders must not suffer any casualties due to the beast tide was too harsh for the elders.

This is not to say that Melo thinks the elders are superior, but because she knows the temperament of the guild.

If this clause is really added, then the elders will most likely only focus on the first three days, and they will definitely give up after that.

Because the Kingdom of Moss is still too weak for the guild, and such conditions are seen as an insult to them by the guild.

They may fulfill the contract for the sake of profit, but once the time stipulated in the contract is over, it would be considered good if they do not help the monsters in return.

"Don't worry, Aunt Mei. I only need three days of absolute safety. Their destination has already been arranged. They don't need to use the teleportation array to come to Huidun City. They can go directly to the city they are guarding."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng began to read out the names of cities in the western border according to his memory.

The ten cities that Chen Cheng read out can be said to be the ten most important cities in the entire western border, and when these ten cities are connected together, they form a big network.

With ten epic elders guarding it, the city will be much less impacted by the beast tide.

It can be said that Chen Cheng has made the most of these ten epic elders.

Melo wrote down the name of the city Chen Cheng mentioned. She wanted to persuade Chen Cheng not to add the last harsh condition, but Chen Cheng didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Aunt Mei, you'd better reply quickly. Those beasts might attack soon. I don't want to see the guild elders miss out because of this delay."

Melo sighed. At worst, she would protect Chen Cheng and leave the Kingdom of Moss.

Not long after Melo left, Sifeite suddenly frowned and said:

"The induction magic I set up in the forest has been triggered, and the beast tide is really coming."

Chen Cheng was first surprised at Sifit's high attainments in magic practice, and then he immediately stood up and left towards the city wall.

When they left the backyard, Lisa was still waiting for them in the front hall.

"Sister Lisa, the beast tide is coming. You should prepare for support as soon as possible."

Then he took Sufit and the others and quickly rushed to the city wall.

Climb up the city wall and look at the industrial park outside the city.

And at the end of the field of vision is the Nanmu Forest.

At this time, the city walls were ready, and rows of large-caliber howitzers were deployed here.

At the same time, the defensive array on the city wall was also activated, forming a protective barrier.

On the cement road below the city, a rider came running with a banner and said:

"The beast tide has arrived, fifty miles away from the first line of defense."

After the rider finished his report, he turned around and ran back.

Soon after, another rider came and reported in the same loud voice:

"The beast tide is forty miles away from the first line of defense."

The messengers kept coming back, until they heard that they were still ten miles away from the first line of defense. Then, having climbed onto the city wall at some unknown moment, Huidun gave the order to the messengers below:

"Notify the regiments ahead to open fire once they are five miles away."

Five miles was just a blink of an eye for the rushing beast tide, and soon the new firearms made their first appearance on the battlefield of this world.

At the same time, it also truly tells the world that the rules of war are about to change.

Dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of howitzers formed an endless artillery array.

The sound of shells being fired from the large-caliber howitzers continued, and bullets literally rained down in front of everyone.

A barrier filled with explosive flames and armor-piercing fragments appeared in front of everyone. The monsters that had rushed out of the forest at the end of the field of vision had their blood and flesh flying all over the sky under this barrage of bullets.

No matter whether it was an ordinary monster or a platinum-level beast king, they were all turned into minced meat under the baptism of this wave of shells.

This time, those ferocious monsters witnessed the horror of humans.

In an instant, the vanguard of the beast tide was almost killed or fled.

Looking at the rapidly retreating herd of beasts, the sound of artillery fire immediately stopped.

Soon after, a messenger delivered the battle report to the top of the city wall.

Although he had already seen the result on the city wall, Huidun's heart was still surging when he saw the exact battle report again.

He then circulated the battle report among his people, and later presented it to Chen Cheng.

"Brown, did you see that? In just a few dozen minutes, we wiped out hundreds of thousands of monsters."

The excitement in Huidun's tone could not be concealed.

Of course, Chen Cheng was as excited as Huidun, but after the excitement, he thought of more.

"Your Highness, please don't be too happy. I wonder if you know how much ammunition was consumed in this round."

"And this is just the vanguard of the beast tide. Judging from the current number, the scale of the beast tide is at least several million.

Are our artillery shell reserves sufficient for our consumption?"

Yes, this artillery is powerful, but it also has a fatal flaw, which is that under a true saturation attack, the shells are consumed very quickly.

When Huidun heard this, he calmed down instantly.

"To be honest, we've already used up one-tenth of our ammunition reserves.

Because what was consumed just now were not only the shells fired, but also the shells I ordered buried in the path of the beast tide."

When Chen Cheng heard this, he frowned and said:

"We can't continue this indiscriminate bombardment. We can only continue for two rounds. After two rounds, we will reduce the intensity of the bombardment. At the same time, we can't stay in the city. We must all pick up automatic rifles and small artillery to provide support.

Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, our defense will be under great pressure in the end."

"And I also believe that the two beast kings who started the beast tide are not fools. They will not let their monsters die like this for no reason.

After two rounds of high-density bombardment, they will definitely reduce the number of monsters in the front attack and switch to a faster assault method, hoping to rush through the barrage and directly destroy our artillery formation."

"Your Highness must remember that this must be treated as a war between the kingdom, because the Beast King's intelligence is already very high."
