Doomsday Code

Chapter 144: Defense against the Beast Tide

Huidun and others immediately ordered the archers behind the city wall, who were composed of ordinary young and middle-aged men who were temporarily recruited, to start drawing their bows and strings, waiting for the beast tide to enter the range of the arrows.

After he returned to Huidun City, he first appeased the people, and then most of the ordinary young people he recruited were reformed by him.

He made his own knight guards the captain, organized these young men into teams of archers, and cleared an open space behind the city wall to serve as a long-range support team.

"put."

As the commander finished speaking, armor-piercing magic arrows rained down on the beasts outside the city.

The whistling sound of arrows flying across the sky was like a shot of sedative, calming the soldiers on the city wall.

The beasts charging in from outside the city began to fall down and die in large numbers under the rain of arrows.

However, the number of the beasts was too large, and almost as soon as the rain of arrows passed by, a new herd of beasts immediately replaced them.

The archers behind the city wall continued to shoot arrows under the command of the commander.

Under several waves of intense arrow rain, the vanguard of the beast tide suffered heavy casualties, but this was only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge number of the beast tide.

Even with such a small number of casualties, the archers in the city were so exhausted that their arms were sore.

After they shot the last arrow in the quiver beside them, no new arrows were immediately replenished. Huidun ordered them to rest first, relieve the soreness in their arms, and wait for the next rain of arrows.

Without the obstruction of the rain of arrows, the herd of beasts quickly crossed the previous death zone and directly attacked the magic shield of the defensive formation.

Hundreds of monsters crashed into the defensive shield. Chen Cheng, who was in the academy, could see the magic energy beam of the shield in front of him shaking.

The magic shield also made a buzzing sound at this time.

Seeing this, Charlotte and the other two felt that things were not going well, so they immediately began using new replacement magic energy modules to stabilize the operation of the magic array and ensure that the magic array would not collapse due to overheating or overload.

On the city wall, Hel and Jilong saw that the herd of beasts had begun to attack the defensive shield. Although these monsters were controlled and forced to launch an attack, they also knew to use their innate magic to attack the shield when they were blocked by the shield.

The soldiers on the city wall quickly formed teams of a hundred and stood on the battle formation previously drawn by the formation master. Then, their spirits and energy established an invisible connection with their captains through the connection of the battle formation.

Afterwards, these captains swung their sword and knife auras at the monsters outside the shield. These sword auras, which contained the spirit of hundreds of soldiers, easily broke through the innate magic of those monsters and cut them into several pieces.

At the same time, in some directions, when they see that the shield in front of them can no longer hold, they will change their form and begin to replenish the defensive power of the shield in front of them.

At this time, Hull, the strongest fighter on the city wall, did not rush directly into the beast tide, because he knew that this was still the vanguard of the beast tide, just an ordinary group of monsters driven by the beast kings, and the truly terrifying beast tide attack had not yet come.

His target was the Beast King behind the beast tide. As long as he killed the Beast King and then eliminated the front part of the beast group, the beast tide would disperse on its own.

However, even with the military's special reconnaissance methods, they have not yet discovered the shadow of the Beast King in the beast tide.

The church is truly the best at this kind of reconnaissance.

The reason why the rulers of this world can allow churches to spread across the entire continent is not only because of the church's powerful strength, but also because the church has special reconnaissance methods for the demonic beasts that pose the greatest threat to humans.

Although it would not be of much use to the local area if a real beast tide was detected when it came, if the location of the beast king could be determined, then strong men could be sent to launch precise strikes on the leader of the beast tide and eliminate the beast tide at the lowest cost.

And Hull has sent several groups of people to the church to meet Jamil, hoping that he can help him find the location of the Beast King.

However, his men were always stopped by Sgert who was beside Jamil.

And Sigert only gave him one sentence in reply.

"Teacher, the bishop is now undergoing a difficult breakthrough. Only when the bishop breaks through will there be new hope."

And it was precisely because of this sentence that Hull did not go to the church in person to ask Jamil for an explanation.

Perhaps as long as we can hold on for now and allow Jamil to break through to the epic level, there will be real hope for Huidun City.

Hull clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and then ordered the soldiers on the city to stop attacking and take a rest.

He then ordered the magicians on standby in all directions to use large-scale magic to launch a sweeping attack on the tide of beasts outside.

These magical attacks also include the research results of Chen Cheng, Peng Beis and Huidun in the past few months.

After Huidun returned to the city, he took people to Professor Penbes' laboratory and moved out a lot of disposable magic supplies that they had made according to Chen Cheng's instructions in the past few months.

I don’t know if it’s because Penbes was in a playful mood, but the magic engraved on these magic supplies are all highly offensive and explosive magic.

When Chen Cheng and the others saw the magic supplies in this laboratory, they were afraid that they would accidentally blow up the entire academy.

Later, Penbes realized the safety risks and sealed them all up.

It was not until Huidun returned to the city that he thought of this batch of magic supplies and had people move them all out so that they could be put to good use.

At this time, in the corners of the city walls, you can see junior students from each academy taking the supplies given to them by Huidun, and starting to activate the magic on them according to Huidun’s previous teachings.

When they saw that the magic they activated killed the ferocious and terrifying monsters outside without leaving a single piece of armor, the fear on the faces of these little guys disappeared, and instead they all showed very excited expressions.

When Hull and Jilong saw the effect of these little guys, they didn't expect that Huidun had not fooled them before, and these little guys could really play a role.

During this round of magic cleansing, the healing magicians also quickly used magic to heal the soldiers on the city wall, restoring the energy they had just consumed.

When this wave of magic attacks was released, the area outside the magic shield was already in ruins. Countless monster corpses were scattered on the ground, and the flowing blood completely dyed the soil dark red.

Various traces of magical damage can be seen on the corpses of these monsters.

After a brief gap, the monsters behind rushed up again.

At this time, the archers who had gotten enough rest behind the city wall began a new round of drawing their bows and strings.

Then there was another dense rain of arrows falling towards the herd of beasts outside the city.

However, the beasts that attacked this time were different from the ones at the beginning. Most of them were earth-attributed monsters that focused on defense.

During the impact, their innate earth magic defense appeared on their huge bodies.

However, this kind of defense still does not have much effect under the military standard armor-piercing magic arrows.

The sound of arrows piercing flesh continued, and one earth-type monster after another fell.
