The guards standing on the city wall are not that sensitive to changes in light.
Especially when there are no sources of light pollution in the wasteland, most people will subconsciously avoid looking directly at strong light at night.
However, the guards on the guard tower are different.
Stand high and see far.
Three short and one long, very urgent.
The rhythm of the halo scattering was very obvious, and in an instant, they met the request for help signal issued by the Western Suburbs Alliance not long ago.
"They are people from Huo Village. There seems to be an enemy chasing them?"
"Turn on the spotlights, hurry up, turn on all the lights on the city wall!"
"Don't be in a hurry to open the door, confirm your identity first, repeat, don't be in a hurry to open the door!"
"Archers, archers are ready to support!"
The guard wall, which stretched for several kilometers, echoed with the chaotic noise of the guards.
Looking at the newcomers who bumped into each other from time to time, like headless chickens, the old guards who participated in the last city wall defense battle felt a headache.
No way, this is the biggest disadvantage of the territorial peace guards not having experienced real combat.
Even if the attack and defense of the city wall have been drilled many times before, it is still difficult to perform properly in an emergency.
But fortunately there were not many enemies in the distance. When the distance was closed, the section of the city wall facing the enemy had been organized into a simple order by Lu Zhou.
Guards holding shields stood at the front, guarding against the long-range weapons released by the opponent when attacking the city.
The guard holding a crossbow stood in the middle, pointing the shooting port in the direction in which the enemy was coming.
The figures running and chasing in front of the city wall also appeared under the illumination of high-power spotlights.
The one running at the front was naturally the Huocun supplies team who had abandoned their armor.
In order to distinguish friendly forces at night, when the material team is transporting supplies at night, they will change the outermost jacket into a reflective vest, and draw a T in the middle to attract attention.
At this time, as soon as the light shines, the numbers can be counted immediately based on the reflection.
The standard transportation team is forty people, but now there are only eighteen people left.
Hope Village kindly lent Huo Village ten coolie lizards to pull the cart. Now the frame behind the lizards has been removed and turned into temporary mounts.
The two took one car together, leaving nine.
The captain responsible for delivering supplies is raising his flashlight and constantly sending out signals for help according to the rhythm.
And the pursuers behind
“Wait a minute, why are these guys riding coolie lizards?”
Lu Zhou, who was in charge of city defense, saw clearly the general shape of those black figures, and his heart suddenly Startled.
As one of the first residents of the territory, he participated in the battle against the Blackstone Camp that year.
Nature also knows the initial appearance of these lizards and their subsequent changes.
Now, although there are some differences in the size of the lizards on both sides, their outlines are almost the same.
The reason why they have been unable to catch up is because the lizards that were captured from the dwarf Blackstone Camp have almost doubled in weight after being carefully fed by Su Chan for more than half a year. One hundred pounds.
Adequate nutrition gives the coolie lizard greater endurance, strength, and courage than before.
The chasing lizards behind them looked much thinner, and many of them were even smaller than the size of the coolie lizards when they first arrived in the territory. This caused the distance between the two sides to continue to increase.
Of course, the pursuit problem is not a simple mathematical problem.
It also involves factors such as wind speed, terrain, physical strength, and momentum.
If it is an endless wilderness, it may be difficult for the supply team to escape the other party's pursuit.
But if you can run under the warning wall, you are already safe to a certain extent.
“Get ready, release the arrow when the enemy comes within range!”
In fact, there is no need to carefully observe who the enemy is. Lu Zhou’s mind has automatically matched the creature sitting on the lizard. Got the number.
None other than those dwarves who have disappeared for a long time!
It turns out that the dwarves' territory is bordering Tianyuan's territory, especially the straight-line distance between Blackstone Camp and Hope Village is less than a hundred kilometers, and it only takes a few hours for the coolie lizard to reach it by running at full speed.
After the New World was enlarged proportionally, a certain distance was opened between the territory and the dwarves.
Calculated based on five times the magnification, it is about between 300 and 500 kilometers.
It may not sound far away, but it is already an extremely considerable strategic distance in the wasteland.
After all, the opponent's technology has not developed to the modern level and can fight across 500 kilometers without bringing any supplies.
But now, taking advantage of the Metal Sigh disaster, the vengeful dwarves finally made a comeback.
"Fire arrows!"
The spotlight has shone on the pursuers, reflecting the ferocious dwarfs with bared teeth.
Lu Zhou shouted loudly, and dozens of guards pulled the trigger together.
Whoosh!
The rain of arrows from the sky caused ripples of light in the dark night, flying straight towards the dwarves' team.
However, what is disappointing is that the first crossbow arrow has not yet reached the dwarves.
Huh.
A blue-white light curtain suddenly rose from the dwarf, not only wrapping himself, but also the coolie lizard.
The crossbow arrow hit the light curtain, and the stalemate lasted only a second or two.
As the kinetic energy was absorbed by the light curtain, it could only fall to the ground weakly, without causing any effective damage.
"Grass!"
"Our technology has been weakened, but these damn aliens, their abilities have not been weakened!"
This is not the first time I have seen this Dwarves use this ability.
Lu Zhou slapped the city wall bitterly.
What if the guards are not holding ordinary wooden crossbows, but wolf crossbows made of second-generation strong iron.
As long as you keep firing to trigger critical effects, you can always find an opportunity to break through the opponent's defense.
But unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
The wooden crossbow has no special abilities and cannot have a critical hit effect.
"Continue to fire arrows to consume their protective shield energy!"
After opening the game panel and notifying the rear of this information, Lu Zhou continued to direct the guards to shoot.
Although the power brought by the crossbow arrows cannot harm the dwarves behind the light shield, their speed is visible to the naked eye.
Taking this opportunity, the guards under the city wall quickly opened the door and let in the people from the material team.
"Is it Captain Zhang tonight? How did you provoke the dwarves?"
"No, how did you meet here?!"
The oriental face headed by the guards is familiar to the guards. It is Zhang Zhishang, the current guard captain of Huo Village.
It sounds strange.
Although Horsens Shelter is a shelter dominated by Western faces, even the managers are Westerners.
But their internal security guards and top military officials are all Easterners.
"Harm, brother, don't mention it. Now it's not just us, but the entire Qinggang City is going to be in big trouble!"
Finally arriving at a safe place, Zhang Zhishang wiped the sweat from his head and hurriedly explained .
In order to build up the Huo Village as soon as possible, a plantation capable of feeding and drinking for 40,000 people was developed.
Kevin has recently issued a death order: those who are capable will be promoted, those who are mediocre will be given up, and those who are mediocre will be dismissed.
If you can’t do it, then don’t do it.
If you are tired, just get out of the shelter.
This kind of order directly caused the people in the shelter to become roll kings, eager to work twenty-four hours a day.
Even he, the guard captain, has to escort supplies three times a day before he can rest.
More than ten days have passed, and more than sixty back and forths without any mistakes have made Zhang Zhishang a little relaxed. But what happened tonight almost made him die.
"The dwarves you are talking about. The dwarves have sent an army, tens of thousands of people, and they are going to capture the city!"
"What?!"
As soon as they heard about tens of thousands of people, they were ready to The few guards who went up to the city wall to help were instantly stunned.
"Yes, and the number is only a lot more!"
It was not just the guards who were shocked, but also the other people in Huo Village who had managed to escape.
"They ride the same lizards as you, and they have all kinds of strange abilities!"
"Yes, they can not only breathe fire, but also launch energy attacks. I saw a dwarf chop it with my own eyes Energy light blade!"
"What is energy light blade? It's called light wave!"
"We can't beat it. How can we beat it without weapons? We should inform the village quickly. "Escape?"
"Escape, where to go? The manager is still in the shelter!"
"Yes, our roots are here. Where can we escape without supplies?!"
"They also have a heavy tank lizard. That guy is even bigger than a tank. I saw it with my own eyes. That thing collapsed a small building when it walked over."
The survivors shouted in confusion, as if they were describing a science fiction movie.
But what they didn’t know was the lightning wall dozens of kilometers away.
What Commander Edmund said at this time was no different from them.
"A lizard bigger than a tank?!"
"What the hell is this?! Has the radiation beast mutated to this point?"
There is already a black crowd in front of the lightning wall Reptiles roared towards us.
The most eye-catching ones are naturally those heavy tank lizards that are huge and can be called giant beasts.
This thing is at least fifteen meters tall, and some of the bigger ones are around twenty meters tall.
The lizard is covered with a layer of black flesh membrane and scales. It has a spiral tip on its head for attacking, and a large raised sarcoma on its back. It looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex with a turtle shell. .
Some dwarves are hiding in the turtle shell, controlling the lizards to move towards the lightning wall step by step.
"I'm afraid our plane will be snatched away by these guys!" The deputy commander next to him swallowed.
This scene looks too terrifying, simply beyond human understanding of other creatures.
Especially thinking of the previously stolen plane and the video sent back, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
"We didn't provoke these guys, why did they come to attack us?"
"Is it the conspiracy of those gopher guys in the southern suburbs? These monsters came from the south!"
"It's the west "Jiao, it must be Hunter Tiger's fault. He likes to deal with mutants and these radioactive beasts the most."
"Everyone, the top priority now is not to figure out where our enemies come from, but how to win." This battle, they... they are about to attack!"
This outrageous scene scared everyone present and their brains shut down. Only a few older commanders grasped the key points. .
At this time, although the lightning wall has been repaired, the door for entry and exit below is also tightly closed.
But there is no doubt that in front of the twenty-meter heavy tank lizard, a wooden door of more than ten meters will definitely not be able to stop it.
Edmund made a prompt decision and ordered.
“Launch out the wall cannon!”
“80MM armor-piercing projectile, target the largest creature in the enemy!”
Wow.
After Edmund finished speaking, holes began to crack on the surface of the towering lightning wall.
From the crack, the dark muzzle slowly stretched out.
The Metal Sigh Disaster deprived humanity of its weapons inventory overnight and made it impossible to resume production within thirty days.
But this does not mean that it has basic industrial capabilities, such as a powerful gathering place like Sunny Harbor Refuge.
More than ten days have passed and no short-term replacement has been produced.
These city cannons used for defense were the first weapons ordered by Edmund.
Speaking of which, when weapons were first produced, some people suggested producing substitutes for guns, taking advantage of this time to kill all the gophers in the city, and destroy the Western Suburban Alliance in the bud.
But looking back now, Edmund's decision was indeed the right one.
With defense, there is offense.
Although these city cannons made of high-strength injection plastic are expensive, they give everyone a great sense of security at this critical time.
A total of sixty muzzles were extended and aimed immediately with the help of auxiliary equipment.
“Fire!”
Boom!
Boom!
60 80mm armor-piercing explosive bombs drew a beautiful parabola in the air and flew into the enemy's positions.
The blazing yellow tail flame outlines the stream of light all over the sky, bursting out with the crystallization of human civilization!
At this moment, not only the soldiers who launched the shots stared wide-eyed, wanting to see the damage caused by the shells.
Everyone on the city wall, including dozens of commanders, also had their eyes narrowed, staring firmly at the huge heavy tank lizards.
However, it is a pity that it fell down like a crossbow arrow on the blue-white light curtain.
Before the cannonball could really fly past, a huge white light shield suddenly appeared from the center of the position and enveloped half of the sky in less than a second.
Boom! Boom!
The armor-piercing projectile hit the reticle and exploded. Fire rain fell from the sky with the explosion, and the night sky in Qinggang City suddenly became as bright as day.
None of the sixty shells could penetrate this mysterious light shield, and they all exploded high in the air.
The strong smell of gunpowder smoke came, and the explosion debris that filled the sky was reflected back, scaring the people on the city wall to hide.
"Gan!"
"What the hell is this?"
Edmund yelled in a daze, not caring even if his face was scratched with blood from the fragments.
This is simply beyond his knowledge, no, that’s not right!
This thing is beyond the cognition of all Blue Star humans. Not even the foundation, not even the academy, they have such means.
For a long time, human beings have never tired of 'attacking' the technology tree.
From the point-to-point weapons at the beginning, to the over-the-horizon weapons, and finally the weapons that ignore distance came out.
If the enemy in front of him used a weapon he had never seen before, Edmund would never be so shocked.
But defense.
Defense, the basis for studying this thing must at least be to develop weapons.
If you want to defend against bullets, you must at least know the power of bullets in order to make corresponding shields and armor.
If you want to defend against missiles, you must at least measure the trajectory of the missile so that you can intercept it in advance.
You don’t know the nature of the opponent’s weapons, how about you defending against ghosts?
Human beings have imagined a general defense device that can prevent any weapon attack.
But then there must be a generational difference in civilization!
It's like fully armed modern people returning to ancient times and not caring about the attacks of ancient people at all.
No matter how sharp your sword is, if I drill into the tank, can you still split it from the outside?
If the opponent’s defense points are already higher than the human attack points.
"No, hurry up and inform the idiots underground, hurry up and wake up the administrator!"
"The disaster of Sunny Harbor Shelter is coming!"
