Chapter 457: The End of the Dawn Sacred Mountain (8)
"Idiot! What are you doing? Don't waste ammunition!" Anfalke roared at Chen Kai. In his opinion, even if it hits such a long distance, it would not cause too much damage. The fact is that. The flame energy beam does not have much damage after crossing four or five kilometers. Chen Kai was completely lucky to be able to hit the ghoul. Perhaps because there are too many ghouls, no matter how he shoots, he can hit one, but the power of ammunition cannot kill any ghoul. The guy who was hit shook his body and stood up again, then roared towards the wall where Chen Kai was, but before it rushed over to pick a cannon shell hit its position, and together with the ghouls around it, they burst into pieces of meat paste.
"Hey! Boy, you have to look at this guy after killing that guy!" A cannon gunner located behind Chen Kai patted the big guy behind him and shouted at Chen Kai. Of course, the result of his show-off was that he received a heavy blow from Anfalke's fist. The searches were all about "Idiot! I said that I saved me ammunition, didn't you hear it?" Anfalke's angry voice echoed throughout the position. Of course, there was one more target besides Chen Kai. But for this situation, there was another roaring target.
Neither Chen Kai nor the roaring Templar Knight ignored the other party. They were used to Anfalk's nerve-wracking roar. In fact, they all knew that the performance of walking too nervously, there were basically no people who were not nervous in the entire wall, because there were too many ghouls around outside. The vast plains, the once green wilderness has now completely turned into a ghoul territory. At a glance, there was nothing else except the gray-purple ghouls.
Of course, there may be dark mages inside, but they will never appear in front of the ghoul to become targets for temple cannons or magical techniques. The result of the gathering of a large number of ghouls is that Chen Kai can see a black and red corpse qi soaring into the sky without using the magical techniques. It is the result of the gathering of a large number of evil creatures. The black and red corpse qi forms terrifying dark clouds in the ghoul's space, giving people an extremely strong visual shock, because the dark clouds continue to move forward as the ghoul moves forward slowly towards the holy mountain.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!!!" A series of shouts were conveyed by the wall. At this moment, the knight warriors living in the temple, even the servants who did not have much power, held up their weapons and blocked the wall. They knew that this battle was only allowed to win but not lose. Once they failed, not only would the greatest spiritual symbol of the temple be destroyed, but the entire Hans Court would also fall into a terrible disaster. The holy mountain of the temple attracted the dark mage the most, but the corpses of millions of sacred powerhouses buried in the cemetery, including the remains of legendary powerhouses.
If these bones are used to become dead creatures, they will be a disaster for the entire empire.
"For the glory of Aurora!" All the knights and soldiers standing on the wall held high their weapons and shouted such slogans. Some of them were covered in white hair and wrinkles with their faces as many as scars. Their skinny bodies held the weapons and shields in their hands and prayed. Other young knights had tender faces as if they had not finished their adult life.
There are even some teenagers who are less than 1.5 meters tall and are simply not grown up. Chen Kai can even see these teenagers' faces that have not yet receded. Of course, these teenage soldiers will not become the main force of the battle. They act as auxiliary soldiers, such as the little guy named Ace standing beside Chen Kai. This little guy is only thirteen years old, but he has a strong back and a bear. If it weren't for this war, he might have officially become an apprentice knight in the temple in a period of time, because he had already realized the use of fighting spirit at the age of twelve, which can be called a new generation of genius characters. Of course, now he can only become Chen Kai's auxiliary soldiers.
, help Chen Kai carry the rhizome and the cooling barrel.
"Cable cannons~! Send me the guys who should have entered the grave to sleep back to hell! The magic crystal cannon is ready to fire, and then it is close to the range of two kilometers. Kill them!!" Anfalke's angrily roar sounded throughout the position. In order to expand the sound so that everyone could hear it, he was holding a loudspeaker with amplification.
"Boom!!!" As the sound of him holding up a loud horn fell, the first shell filled with magic crystal explosives instantly emerged from the boom with the first roar, and flew towards the army of ghouls three kilometers away at an extremely high speed. The huge shell propulsion medicine required several times the explosive power of ordinary gunpowder, so the launching medicines of these cannons were made of specially mixed magic crystal powder powder.
It can easily launch the shells four or five kilometers away. When each shell falls, it will explode into a large terrifying flame, instantly swallowing all the ghouls that are five meters around the landing point. At the same time, the spreading shrapnel can fly to a range of fifteen meters. The ghouls within this range are instantly penetrated by shrapnel with huge kinetic energy, and even some of them are directly turned into corpses of the pierced head.
As for the attack power of the magic crystal cannon within the range, it is much smaller than that of the shells with explosive power, but the sound of the firing of the hundred magic crystal cannons is still extremely terrifying. The red rain of bullets instantly flooded the body of the ghoul. After entering the range, the power of the magic crystal cannon was fully exerted. Although the energy explosion after landing only affects one or two meters, the dense ghouls still suffered a heavy blow. Of course, the most terrifying thing is the stone catapult and crossbow piled up behind it. As the most traditional defensive weapon, both not only have the characteristics of siege equipment.
It also plays an important role in the city defense. Most of the main urban defense weapons in lower towns are mainly two. Although the Temple Holy Mountain has many magic crystal cannons and mixed gold cannons, the number is relatively small. At least compared with those catapults and bed crossbows, the number is simply incomparable. Hundreds of bed crossbows are built at the foot of the Holy Mountain and the hillsides, and more are casting huge stones behind the walls. Each time it launches, thousands of stones fall to the location where the ghoul is located like a rainstorm, causing terrifying tremors on the ground.
If at this speed, even tens of thousands of ghouls would be completely flattened in a very short time, but just like the scenes that appeared in the player's dream in the new expansion pack. Endless ghouls rushed over all over the mountains, and they were mixed with a larger number of skeleton creatures and dark creatures. These creatures formed a huge army of attacking the holy mountain, and even their figures were still in the sky. When the first monster similar to a gargoyle fell from the sky, Chen Kai's attack mission changed from ground to air defense.
The magic crystal cannon, which could only rotate flat, was raised, and the personnel who assisted Chen Kai changed from one person to two. In addition to helping Chen Kai rotate the heavy gun barrel, they also shoulder the responsibility of carrying shields to resist the throwing attacks of gargoyles in the sky.
Of course, the attack power of the gargoyles is much lower than that of the little demon, and even its own load capacity is extremely poor. After all, the gargoyles are puppet alchemy creatures, and they even tend to alchemy synthesize monsters. According to legend, the statues of some dark mages' residences are gargoyles. When they encounter enemies or receive attack commands, they will turn from rocks to monsters to attack the invaders. Of course, the gargoyles in the game are not transformed from statues. They use bats and human corpses and then artificially manufactured with magic circles. The method of production is very unique, as if they are simply assembled and synthesized. Of course, because the production process is too evil, it is almost necessary to force a human soul into the body of a bat. Most of the people who will cast such spells are evil dark mages. Of course, occasionally some advanced masters will try to use death
The souls of the prisoners conduct such experiments, but they will not make the souls of these death row prisoners into consumables such as gargoyles, but use them for better things, similar to things like building creatures or guard armor. For example, the mechanical puppets that Chen Kai and others saw at the Yadog Spell Association were driven by soul beads made by the soul beads made by the souls of the death row prisoners. They are much more advanced in form and combat power than gargoyles, but their structure is more complex and expensive. For the dark mages who are eager to attack the Holy Mountain, gargoyles that are cheap and cheap and can be made on a large scale are naturally the best members of the Air Force. The dark mages do not even have to spend their time and magic to control them. They only need to issue the simplest instructions, such things made with human souls and bat souls, and can be executed well to exert their terrible attack power and destructive power.
Of course, because the materials are cheap, these simple gargoyles have no defense at all. Even if they are hit by an ordinary feather arrow, they can kill them. The most important thing is that these guys are very low. Each gargoyle is only level 30, and Chen Kai can kill many of them alone, of course, the premise is that they fight him on the ground. If they are flying, ten gargoyles may take Chen Kai's life because they will throw stones from high altitude, and even if they are hit by these stones with helmets, it will be very
Trouble, if you accidentally get rid of the skull. So in order not to let the two auxiliary guys around you fall off, Chen Kai asked them to wear two layers of helmets on his forehead. The first layer is an ordinary leather helmet. This is the helmets worn by most recruits. They are of good quality and inlaid with iron pieces to resist ordinary arrows, but they do not have much resistance to stones thrown at high altitude. The second layer is the steel helmets handed to them by Chen Kai. The more ordinary steel helmets are considered a good piece of equipment except for their ugly appearance. Wearing them on their heads can save their lives.
"Be careful on your head! Fight the shield, and then pray that your forehead is strong enough!" Chen Kai said to the two auxiliary soldiers around him, then turned the gun barrel of the magic crystal cannon to aim at the sky. Compared to the ghouls on the ground that can be hit at any time, it is very difficult to aim and hit the gargoyles with a few flying speeds in the sky. More people are really using a large number of strafing to shoot gargoyles trying to get close to, and the gargoyles being hit will burn and fall from the air.
"It's a pity that these guys have no experience to get!" Chen Kai sighed depressedly at the gargoyle that was penetrated by his own gun. These low-level gargoyles could not provide Chen Kai with some upgrade experience. The only thing they could provide was a temple contribution value of less than 0.01. Such a contribution value was useless to him. He needed to kill a thousand pieces to get a bottle of holy water to exchange for the contribution value required, but the price he paid was definitely not a bottle of water.
Holy water can be compared. Because a piece of red crystal is worth nearly 100 gold coins, a bottle of holy water can be bought with up to ten gold coins. Even if Chen Kai can kill one of the gargoyles every shot, it will take 100 red crystals to exchange for a bottle of holy water. From the economic calculation, it is the most unprofitable deal to shoot gargoyles with magic crystal cannons. However, if Chen Kai does not make any calculations, it has to do it, because this is his mission and his responsibility, unless his magic crystal cannon is destroyed.
"Crystal!" Chen Kai shouted to the auxiliary soldier behind him, then stretched his hand back, and the young man named Ace holding a shield behind him handed a red crystal to Chen Kai. At that moment, another auxiliary soldier directly pulled open the ammunition compartment of the magic crystal cannon, revealing the crystal that had exhausted energy inside. Of course, the energy of the crystal has not completely evaporated at this time, and the entire ammunition compartment was hot. The auxiliary soldier needed to wipe the ammunition compartment with a wet rag, and then the hot and hot crystal was taken out and used. This process is not dangerous, because although the red crystal is hot, it does not have much energy anymore. As long as the extraction speed is fast enough, it will not burn your hands.
Of course, the final installation of the crystal requires Chen Kai to complete it himself. Although this is the most dangerous, it is also the most important responsibility of a gunner, that is, to complete the loading and safely push the ammunition compartment into the barrel. When the ammunition compartment with the crystal is pushed into the barrel, the barrel will instantly activate the crystal from the residual magic power, making the first shell fired more powerful. Of course, Chen Kai has also tried to launch the entire meridian power out of one shot, but that will cause great damage to the barrel. However, sometimes Chen Kai can only do this. Because the emitted energy beam is extremely penetrating and continuous, Chen Kai can turn the same barrel at the same time when pressing the fire crystal to stimulate energy, so that the emitted beam changes with the rotation and sweeps the gargoyles in a certain area. After all, you only need to gently rub some of those gargoyles and turn into corpses.
"Sir! You killed at least twenty of them in this moment!" Ace said, standing behind Chen Kai, holding a red crystal stone. He knew that Chen Kai had definitely consumed the power of the entire red crystal, and of course it also included a fire crystal stone. However, he only had red crystal stones on hand, and the fire crystal stone was carried by the gunner himself, so he naturally didn't need to hand it to Chen Kai.
"Thank you for helping me record it! Little guy, but do you know what I am thinking now?" Chen Kai quickly took a new red crystal from Ace. He chatted with the little guy behind him while checking the status of the crystal. Especially when he was put into the ammunition compartment, he repeatedly checked it for more than three minutes before stuffing it in.
"What are you thinking? Sir!" Ace asked strangely. In his opinion, Chen Kai should be thinking about how to shoot down the gargoyles in the sky, but it is obvious that this is not Chen Kai's answer.
"I'm wondering when those damn ghouls will push the siege weapons!" With a light crack, another new crystal entered the cannon barrel. At the same time, Chen Kai replaced the launch crystal that was exhausted by stimulating the energy of the entire red crystal. However, his words made the two auxiliary soldiers behind shake their heads. Obviously, they didn't believe that the ghoul army would have siege weapons.
"Enemy attack! Be careful of their crossbows!" A shrill alarm appeared on the wall. The meaning of the alarm made the two little guys who had just shook their heads and said they didn't believe Chen Kai's words stunned in an instant. Then they saw more than a dozen huge crossbow arrows break through the air from outside the wall and hit the ground in the wall. One crossbow arrow even hit a hapless Templar Knight with the magic crystal cannon he controlled and was pierced through. The magic crystal cannon magic array that collapsed at that moment instant instant instant instant instant stimulated the remaining crystal energy. A ball of flames with a diameter of two meters instantly rose up inside the wall, swallowing the Templar Knights and several auxiliary soldiers who were preparing to rescue.
"Okay, I'm just praying! Little Devil, pray that the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbows will not fall towards us, and pray that the clumsy ghouls will not be able to operate the crossbow string again!" Chen Kai sighed in his heart as he looked at the rising flames. He knew that the guys who were swallowed by the flames were definitely dead. Such a terrifying explosion power could not be blocked by the human body. Of course, the powerful people at the holy realm level might be able to block it, because they were about to become non-human.
However, the powerful people in the temple's holy realm are all on the wall to resist the attack of the ghouls, and none of them are controlling the magic crystal cannon.
"Counterattack! Counterattack me! Kill all the crossbows. Where did these guys who should go to hell get these things? How did they transport them outside the Holy Mountain?" Anfalke roared angrily, but at the moment he roared, dozens of crossbows and crossbow arrows penetrated through the air and shot into the wall. The tips of these crossbow arrows emitted a sharp cold light. Chen Kai could even see the inscriptions engraved on the arrow when the feather arrow rotated, because the feather arrow shot into the ground against the magic crystal cannon turret where he was.
"Don't worry! There will be no crossbow arrows falling in the same position!" Chen Kai comforted the two almost frightened auxiliary soldiers behind him like this. In fact, he was almost frightened to pee at that moment. Fortunately, the urination in the game can be held back. I don't want to feel that if I'm really frightened in reality, you may not even know if you pee.
"Really?" Ace said terrified. The crossbow arrow was shot by his scalp. At that moment, he almost felt that his life was about to leave him.
"Of course it's true, even more real than your wet pants!" Chen Kai said this and turned around and didn't look at the embarrassing little ghost behind him. It was obvious that the first time the experience of being so close to death made this little guy pee his pants with shameless face.
This scene may be the only funny scene in the entire battle. Of course, no one would find it so funny, because most people are busy fighting and not paying attention to these. The moment when the ghouls launched these crossbows for siege, it means they were going to be serious. You should know that on the third day, the ghouls who siege the city pushed out the siege weapons. Now that the battle has only started in less than five minutes, the ghouls army began to launch their own siege weapons. They completely wanted to end all the battles in one day. So the walled temple knights quickly collided with the siege army. One ghoul after another jumped up from the ground and wanted to rush in, but some ghouls were smashed by the fighting spirit and then fell off the wall with weakness.
