Chapter 2526 Monster sieges the city!
At the top of Tianxu City, a group of believers were standing guard, looking heavily guarded.
Although the enemy camp in the forest was destroyed, it did not mean that the war was over. After all, the enemy was still there, but they had just escaped temporarily.
As long as the time is right. The enemy will still come back.
And the next time the enemies come, they will definitely not be the same number as before, but will increase exponentially.
Occupying and robbing a city is tantamount to the crime of rebellion and will definitely cause great shock within the empire.
But the believers of the Alarm Bell Church don’t care. They firmly believe that a catastrophe is coming and the whole world will be shrouded in darkness.
The entire empire will cease to exist and self-protection will be difficult, so how can it be possible to send troops to attack Tianxu City?
Even if the enemy really attacks, the believers are not afraid. With the geographical advantages of Tianxu City and the sharp weapons in their hands, they can completely block the enemy's attack.
Due to the enemy's retreat, the believers' vigilance was slightly lowered and they were no longer as nervous as before.
Therefore, they did not see that in the forest on the edge of Tianxu Lake, strong black shadows kept appearing.
The monster army led by the Lord of Tianxu City has returned quietly and is preparing to launch an attack.
They held swords, guns and clubs in their hands and looked at Tianxu City with cold eyes, with uncontrollable greed and excitement in their eyes.
"Crash..."
A slight sound of water sounded, and monsters began to walk into the lake, and soon their bodies were submerged in the lake.
Thin and long tubes were extruded from the monster's body and floated quietly on the water.
This is the breathing organ of the monster, which allows them to move normally in the water without exposing their body.
Using the lake as cover, monsters can quietly approach Tianxu City and then launch a surprise attack.
Sneaking closer through the bottom of the lake has greater secrecy and can catch believers off guard.
In fact, there used to be several defense devices in the center of Tianxu Lake to prevent enemies from sneaking in from underwater.
It's just that time has passed, and these defense devices have long been abandoned and become a paradise for fish, shrimp and water monsters.
Although the appearance of these monsters is roughly the same, there are only a few monsters with the ability to breathe underwater, which may be related to their good water properties.
There are not many such monsters, only a few hundred in total, so they are responsible for sneak attacks.
Other monsters are hiding in the forest, waiting for the right time, and coordinate with each other to launch attacks.
These monsters dived into the water and kept approaching the broken bridge ahead. Because of the cover of the lake, the defensive believers never noticed anything unusual.
Just like this, quietly, the monsters had approached the suspension bridge and gathered near the huge bridge piers.
Up to this moment, the believers guarding the suspension bridge still found nothing unusual and were still chatting leisurely.
Until the believers in Tianxu City accidentally saw a large black shadow suddenly appearing under the crystal clear lake water.
When I first looked at it, I thought it was a fish, but when I took a closer look, I realized that it was actually a series of ferocious human figures.
When he realized something was wrong and was about to issue a warning, the monster under the water had already started to take action and rushed out of the water like lightning.
The monster used its hands and feet together, like a group of oversized spiders, to climb up the suspension bridge along the piers.
The believers guarding the suspension bridge were caught off guard and were thrown to the ground one after another. They turned into corpses before they had time to struggle.
In order to prevent enemy attacks, Tianxu City has always strictly prohibited anyone from going out, and the bridge originally used for traffic has also been hoisted.
The primary goal of these monsters is to seize control of the suspension bridge and then bring their accomplices over.
After gaining control of the suspension bridge, you can lower the bridge and the monsters hiding in the forest can launch attacks.
This is a crucial link. If this point cannot be completed, the monsters will never even think about rushing into Tianxu City.
Although monsters have gained more powerful power, they still have limitations and are not omnipotent.
“There is a monster seizing the bridge!”
The believers guarding the bridge shouted hoarsely, but they were thrown to the ground in the blink of an eye. All the underwater monsters had already climbed onto the bridge and rushed into the city gate. The believers came out to fight each other.
Their claws kept waving, easily tearing apart the believer's body, and the remains were scattered everywhere. The weapons used by ordinary believers cannot harm these monsters at all. Thick scales are the best defense.
The battle at this time was a one-sided crushing, and the believers were killed until rivers of blood flowed out!
The defenders of Tianxu City have been alerted. While sending people to support them, they also launched an attack from a high position.
No matter how much the price is paid, the suspension bridge must not be robbed, otherwise the first line of defense of Tianxu City will disappear.
There were many believers with pale faces. They shot arrows at the suspension bridge indiscriminately, regardless of their companions still below.
As a result, after these arrows hit the ground, not only did they not hurt the monster, but they hurt their companions, or they fell into the lake one after another.
“Damn it, obey my orders, don’t shoot indiscriminately!”
Seeing the panic of the believers, the officer in charge was furious. This kind of attack that does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy will only Let them lose control of the suspension bridge faster.
“No, there are more monsters rushing up at the bridge!”
Soon the believers saw groups of monsters rushing up the long bridge, like a black torrent, Rushing towards Tianxu City.
"Damn, the catastrophe has really come!"
Seeing this scene, such thoughts arose in the minds of the believers in Tianxu City at the same time.
"Beep..."
The dull howl sounded, which meant that war was coming and there would be no peace from now on.
The believers at the top of Tianxu City have begun to control the cannon and crossbow, aiming at the long bridge to launch an attack.
At this moment, no one cared whether the Great Wall was damaged or not, they just wanted to kill all the monsters that rushed onto the long bridge.
A dull loud noise was heard, and cannonballs flew out one after another, making a harsh whistling sound.
The cannonball just landed on the bridge, rolling among the monsters and plowing a deep bloody ditch.
Even though the monster had rough skin and thick flesh, it was still unable to resist the impact of this solid cannonball, and was instantly smashed into a ball of flesh.
The Alarm Church’s manufacturing level is very strong and can produce blooming cannonballs, but most of them are still equipped with solid cannonballs.
Although it is slightly insufficient in terms of lethality, it is indeed perfect for protecting long bridges, and the damage to the bridge will not be too great.
Otherwise, the entire bridge will be completely destroyed under a bombardment, and it will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources to repair it again.
However, if the situation is critical, the only option is to blow up the long bridge and cut off the enemy's access to Tianxu City.
As the artillery and crossbows fired simultaneously, the monsters on the long bridge did suffer some casualties, but they were getting closer and closer to the suspension bridge.
At the location of the suspension bridge, the fighting became more and more intense. The monsters brandished their sharp claws and long knives, cutting down the rushing believers to the ground.
The ground was littered with flesh and blood carcasses. Although there were corpses of monsters among them, most of them belonged to believers of the Alarm Bell Church.
More than a dozen monsters have rushed to the control gate of the Broken Bridge. They violently destroyed the gate and lowered the long chain.
As a "quacking" sound came, the long bridge hanging diagonally began to slowly drop, and it was about to be connected to the opposite side.
The monsters rushing towards the long bridge have already rushed to the opposite side of the suspension bridge and are currently being attacked from above Tianxu City.
Looking at the constantly falling suspension bridge, the monsters jumped directly onto it. They successfully grabbed the bridge and rushed to the other side after climbing up.
The monsters that snatched the broken bridge became more ferocious after the reinforcements arrived, and began to attack the city gate.
The believers responsible for reinforcements in Tianxu City have also arrived at the city gate at this moment, and the two sides will collide soon.
At this moment, a cannonball hit the chain of the suspension bridge, directly breaking the arm-thick chain into two pieces.
"Boom..."
A muffled sound came, and the remaining chain was overwhelmed and suddenly broke.
The suspension bridge fell down, and the monsters blocked at the other end immediately rushed towards the city gate like a flood.
