"The Seventh Young Master is back in the city, the Seventh Young Master is back in the city..."
The sharp-eyed guards on the city saw Zhang Qi at a glance. Now everyone knows that his image is crying in heaven. As he shouted, the large iron gate more than ten meters thick slowly opened, and the enthusiastic townspeople happily took Zhang Qi away. Welcomed in.
As soon as he returned to Cangyue, Zhang Qi felt relaxed. This feeling of returning home was so good, but others did not let Zhang Qi go, especially the old mayor.
He pulled Zhang Qi and scolded him, complaining that he was too serious about his work and didn't care about his body. He should have abandoned the city long ago and didn't have to take risks to defend the city. Then he kept introducing the current situation of the waning moon.
The focus of Canyue's development in the past few years is still the overall strategy left by Zhang Qi before the expedition, which is to focus on prevention.
The biggest highlight is the city defense that Zhang Qi just saw. In addition to the guard towers and city walls that he can see, these are the giants as the main force. The design of Taiyi Sect can be said to be the best of the best. According to them, , which is built according to the standards of the red-level extreme beasts.
Just in case, they also built a second line of defense, which is the exit of the "Benevolence" path. In this way, even if the extreme beast breaks through the first line of defense, the second line of defense will be more difficult to break because the second line is different from the second line of defense. The "Ren" before the first line is a small road that cannot be passed by a large number of polar beasts. In other words, the number of polar beasts participating in the attack on the second line of defense is limited by the geographical location, and there, Zangyue also deployed a large number of guard towers. , with this level of city defense, even if a few red-level extreme beasts attack the city, they are not afraid.
In terms of the development of combat power, due to the characteristics of the battle armor, it does not need to be as complicated and long as the advancement of human strength, which takes decades or even hundreds of years, while making a set of mecha only takes a few days, but Before Zhang Qi went on the expedition, he repeatedly emphasized that mechas must not be overrun by the tide of giant beasts, so Zangyue has been controlling the total number of fantasy mechas, and now the total number is only around 500,000.
Compared to Fantasy Armor, Transformation Guards have developed the fastest, from the first few hundred to nearly three thousand now, which is astonishing. You must know that the combat power of Transformation Guards is equivalent to the purple level. This is the highest level of Zangyue. Strong combat capability.
Zhang Qi was forced to hold another Waning Moon meeting to discuss and understand the progress of Waning Moon. At this time, Zhang Qi finally realized the pain of being a leader. Looking at the piles of matters for him to make decisions in front of him, he was going crazy. For him, he might as well be a soldier fighting on the battlefield, so he pushed the "despicable" thing to others, including the poor old mayor.
It didn't take long for Zhang Qi's prediction to come true. The next wave of extreme beasts broke out again. A large number of extreme beasts filled the area outside the waning moon. Fortunately, Zhang Qi had made arrangements in advance, otherwise Kester would have been completely destroyed. Gone.
This round of beast tide is a little different. In the past, there were fixed main beast species, such as white fire rhinoceros, burning sheep, fire beetle, etc., but this time there is no main beast species. At a glance, there are at least tens of thousands of varieties. It’s impossible to give examples one by one, and the levels are also different. The low ones include blue-level beginners, and the high ones include Xu Chi. It’s like a hodgepodge. Moreover, the attack has no fixed rules, and there seems to be no commander. There is even There was a lot of self-trampling.
The efficiency of this attack is naturally extremely low, but in terms of quality, it is obviously much higher than the previous one, because there are a large number of purple-level extreme beasts in it. This kind of extreme beast is so destructive that even a few A city wall ten meters thick can be shaken by impact.
However, this was very easy for Zhang Qi, because the defensive capabilities here are too strong. Not to mention the inexhaustible arrows, there are layers of Crescent Moon Armor Legions on the city wall. Every wave of shooting is like falling from the sky. It was like a heavy rain, and what was even more exaggerated was that the giants also participated in the defense of the city. Good guy, the biggest feature of these giants is their strength. If the boulder hits it, pieces of extreme beasts will fall down.
The terrifying guard tower is even more exaggerated. It specializes in picking up high-level attacks from polar beasts. Some polar beasts that are fast and slow to react can be killed by even Xu Chi with one arrow. In this way, under the guard, Under the "decapitation" of the tower, the high-level extreme beasts were unable to open up a way for the low-level extreme beasts to attack the city. Instead, those extreme beasts that attacked the city were specially sent to "give away their heads".
Although some sporadic extreme beasts occasionally rushed up the city wall, most of them were hunted down in time. Under a complete set of city defense tactics, there was no need for Zhang Qi to command. Instead, he and Xuan Tiancheng became the city defenders, specializing in dealing with the situation. The extreme beasts that rushed up there were killing them with great joy.
The first wave of beast tide did not last long, and it stopped after half a month. There were countless corpses of beasts in the city piled thickly outside the city wall. However, the city wall was never breached, so the losses were very small. , even less than 10,000 people, this is the easiest counterattack against the beast tide that Zhang Qi has ever fought.
Under normal rules, the next wave will be at least several months or even years away, but the pattern of the beast tide is difficult to predict. But in any case, this round is over, and the Waning Moon people are busy going out of the city to collect their "trophies", and Those are the corpses of extreme beasts.
The ones who clean the battlefield are composed of dream warriors. This is not Zhang Qi’s exclusion. There are indeed certain necessary reasons. For example, there will be some temporarily dead or fainted beasts on the battlefield. This kind of situation is collectively called the state of suspended animation. It will clean the battlefield. When a sudden attack occurs, resulting in casualties, this kind of case also happens from time to time, and the mecha warrior has a strong defense, which is slightly better. Secondly, according to the rules of Cangyue Town, all trophies are put into inventory and arranged in a unified manner. Naturally, they should also be cleaned up by Cangyue personnel. .
Speaking of this, there is a very interesting scene. After cleaning the battlefield, although the materials have been processed and collected, there are still some missing items. After all, in such a big battle, it is normal to miss some items, plus some incomplete items. It was not valuable, so some teams were formed at the battlefield ruins.
Most of these people are white-ranked or ordinary civilians, and there are even more children. They are holding those kind of curved shovels, and they are constantly searching on the battlefield. They will gain more or less at the end of the day, and as they pick up There are more and more people who are good at it, and the tools and methods are becoming more and more professional. Adults and children are participating, making it a unique landscape.
Different from the previous two rounds of beast tides, this round of beast tides not only lasts for a long time, but also has many harassing attacks between each wave. For example, sometimes a small group of extreme beasts come every few days, and sometimes every few months. Come once, but the quantity is generally not large, and the quality is not very high. Most of them are not in the red class. It seems that there are no red classes in the waning moon to participate, so they did not attract attention. From this point of view, even the last wave of beasts is probably the most There are also one or two red steps, or there are no red steps at all. In this way, Zangyue is basically in an absolutely safe state.
Compared to the Cangyue side, the main city of Tianqi is really a hell on earth. Due to the premature participation of the red class, the beast tide believes that this is the main force of mankind, and the intensity of the attack is also very strong. In large beast tides, it is often red. The ultra-level beasts lead the team, and the purple-level extreme beasts appear in batches. Even the usual small beast tides will have the shadow of the red-level extreme beasts.
However, the main city of Tianqi is worthy of being the strongest city of Tianqi. Whether it is the city wall that has stood for millions of years, the large guard tower inside, the magic tower, and the amazingly powerful Behemoth, the beast tide has been defeated again and again. Retreat once and for all.
But because of this, the attacks of the beast tide became more intense and more frequent. In the first few years, the main city of Tianqi could still cope with it. But later on, as the energy of the magic tower was exhausted, the consumption of arrows and The guard tower was wearing and tearing, and the pressure on them became more and more intense every time. Later, during a beast wave, a group of high-level purple-level beasts rushed into the city and wreaked havoc, causing heavy losses in personnel and materials.
Especially for food, many people began to slaughter their mounts to satisfy hunger.
Forced by helplessness, they finally decided to attack the beast herd. Under the leadership of Beamon, they even killed the red-level extreme beasts, but what they responded to were more red-level extreme beasts. In the end, a large number of human red-level beasts died in this battle. From the dozens of red-level emperors when Zhang Qi took the oath at the Presbyterian Church at the beginning, there are now less than ten left in the main city of Tianqi. What is even more frightening is that Behemoth, their biggest supporter, has finally been exterminated. The beast was completely killed, which also marked that humans had completely lost the opportunity to confront the extreme beast head-on.
Before this, Gong Yangjian sent a request for help to Canyue, but Zhang Qi basically ignored it. The reason was very simple. He told him from inside the main city of Tianqi that the only people who asked for help from Zhang Qi were a group of people led by Gong Yangjian. , and the group headed by Xi Zhu looked down on Zhang Qi at all, thinking that it was no matter whether they came or not.
In this case, Zhang Qi would never go. He knew very well about the character of this group of people, and he would never do such a thing of being hot-tempered to someone else's cold butt.
However, the subsequent development of events was beyond everyone's expectations, especially Xi Zhao's group. Since Behemoth's death, humans have lost the ability to resist. Extreme beasts still exist in large numbers. They not only attack, but also besiege. One day was fine, and a month was fine, but after a year or two, all the food in the city was exhausted, and it was almost a desperate situation where food could be exchanged for food.
At this time, the main city of Tianqi finally agreed to seek help from Cangyue at all costs.
In the Waning Moon Council Hall, there was a blood letter prominently placed on the table, with three big characters written in blood on it: Letter for help!
"Dududu..."
Zhang Qi's fingers tapped on the table, making a rhythmic sound. No one spoke. They knew the injustice Zhang Qi suffered in Tianqi back then, so it was natural not to go to the rescue. But now the situation is indeed critical, and they just wait for Zhang Qi to do it himself. Decide.
But what they didn't know was that Zhang Qi didn't take that incident to heart. A truly strong man would not care about such so-called grievances. A person who can't even pretend to be grievances cannot be called a strong man. Or, what he considers is the consequences of saving or not saving.
If you rescue, you have to consider the cost. If the entire main city of Tianqi is besieged, you will need to pay a lot of money when you rush into the main city. After all, they don't go in empty-handed, they have to carry a lot of supplies, and there are not many people.
If we don't save it, Tianqi's main city will be destroyed in just one day and night, and they, Zangyue, will become Tianqi's only main resistance force, and will naturally become the final target of the big beast tide. You know, there are a lot of red beasts there. Even he is not sure of winning against the ultimate beast. He can withstand it with only Waning Yue. This is the so-called death of lips and teeth. Of course he understands this truth. Moreover, even if it is the final decisive battle of the beast tide, the decisive battle location will be in the main city of Tianqi. It would be much better to leave it on the waning moon.
After repeated calculations, Zhang Qi finally decided to rush to help the main city of Tianqi.
However, considering the disadvantages of a villain like Xi Zhao, Zhang Qi put forward two conditions. If the main city of Tianqi agreed, he would agree to rush to help.
First, after entering the main city of Tianqi, Zhang Qi must be regarded as the Lord of Tianqi. He is not only the commander-in-chief of the beast tide. No matter whether the beast tide has passed or not, as long as Zhang Qi lives for one day, he will be the Lord of Tianqi. His status is Above everyone, including the Red-level Emperor, only in this way can he command everything clearly and righteously.
Second, when he leads the forces of Can Yue to shake the main city of Tianqi, all the forces in the city must rush to respond in time, so as to ensure that Can Yue's losses are minimized, otherwise he will retreat to Can Yue halfway.
As soon as Xin arrived at the main city of Tianqi, everyone fell into silence. This second point was taken for granted, but the first point was indeed a bit excessive. Let alone leading the red class with the strength of the purple class, let's just say that Tianqi has never really had the ability to do so. Once the master agrees, it will be equivalent to everyone, including their red-level emperor, becoming Zhang Qi's subordinates. So what is the meaning of the so-called Nine Sects and Eighteen Meetings? Because just one word from Zhang Qi can make a force rise or fall.
But these people also understand that if they do not agree, let alone the Nine Sects and Eighteen Associations, I am afraid that the entire Tianqi human race will be in danger of extinction. At this time, let alone two conditions, even twenty, two hundred They couldn't help but refuse to agree.
The final decision was unanimous, totally agree!
