Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 15: Siege the city
Going north along Pegasus Mountain, after passing through the continuous mountains, there is a vast plain.
This is the famous Dongjin Plain.
The Dongjin Plain was once famous for its vastness and richness in products. This place is rich in spiritual energy, has a pleasant climate, and is home to a large number of spiritual plants. It is the most important rear resource base for the human kingdom.
However, with the retreat after defeats and the loss of territory, the former rear became the front line, and the originally rich plains also turned into a bloodbath plain full of killings.
Nowadays, no rare creatures can be seen here, and there are very few spiritual plants. Along with the war, no one is interested in sustainable development. Instead, there is crazy extraction and destruction at all costs. There is only harvesting, no planting, and fewer and fewer resources can be used.
There is a small lake in the east direction of the plain, called Pioneer Lake. Its original name was Sanchazi Lake, but later it was renamed Pioneer Lake because of a **** battle, because behind it was Dongjin Pass.
Dongjinguan, one of the three most important towns on the human frontline!
This is a majestic barrier that cannot be completed by human power.
It is located on the flat land fifteen miles away from Pioneer Lake. The entire city has been turned into a cold and dark color. From a distance, it looks like a giant black beast crawling on the ground.
Only when you get closer can you realize how big this "behemoth" is. Its city wall is a hundred feet high. Standing on the city wall and looking down, it is like standing on the edge of a cliff. The city wall is fifteen miles long and five miles wide. It is made of purple gold mixed with black iron. It is a real city of steel.
This steel city has no city gates. From the beginning of its existence, it was not designed for people to pass through. Everyone's entry and exit must go through immortal means, including those mortals.
On the cold city wall, there are a large number of spell marks, and array patterns and talismans float on them, forming a huge, vast, and complex super-giant magic circle. It consists of 768 small magic circles, each with different meanings and functions. If any one of them fails, it will not affect the other arrays, but when combined together, they can play an additional role. It can be said to be the foundation of Dongjin Pass's protection.
There is no geographical advantage in the fairy world war, the magic circle is the geographical advantage!
Since the day of its existence, this huge city has been enduring attacks from demon clans and has experienced tests again and again. The blood dyed the city wall crimson again and again, and then returned to its original color under the influence of magic. Only the land underfoot turned purple.
Under Dongguan City, another monster siege is about to begin.
Tens of thousands of monsters gathered together, looking at the city with greedy eyes, but did not rush in. The lowest strength of these monsters is above Kai Zhi, and every hundred monsters are led by one monster general. These demon generals are at the lowest stage of transformation. If they were in ordinary human cities, one of them could destroy an entire city. At the very end of the demon clan's team were three beasts that were a hundred feet tall, with four hooves and one eye.
Zhentian Beast!
In addition to its powerful combat power, this wild behemoth is also the war drum of the demon army. Their roars can greatly increase the strength of the demon army and at the same time frighten the human army.
On the backs of the three Sky-shattering beasts, there were three other people sitting, who were clearly three demon kings.
The one on the left has a big belly and a face like a basin. His true body is a moon-swallowing golden toad, nicknamed the King of Heavenly Swallowers.
The one on the right has a white face and no beard, and looks like a scribe, but his true body is a white-haired demon named Poisonous Heart King.
The one in the middle has a blue face and a long nose, with a wide body and a large body. Its true body is a giant blue-haired elephant, nicknamed the Giant King.
At this moment, the three demon kings looked at each other and nodded together. All the demons who were proficient in long-range magic took action together. Countless spells hit the distant city wall like a violent storm, with wind, fire, thunder and lightning. It instantly filled the sky above Dongguan City, causing the walls to continuously emit mottled colored lights. If it weren't for the large formation guarding it, and just one wave of attacks, the city wall would probably be destroyed.
Correspondingly, the human troops are unwilling to be outdone.
One after another soldiers on the city wall cocked arrows and shot them with all their strength. Then a large shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, and the flying arrows were like locusts, and they were shot like rain. Although these arrows were shot by mortal soldiers, they were using moon-shooting bows specially made for mortal soldiers, and they used special demon-slaying arrows. Under the influence of the Tianyu Arrow Array, their power was greatly enhanced, generalized Monsters below the size of 1, as long as they are not particularly good at defense, can cause certain damage. Although the damage is weak, their arrows are coated with powerful poison/medicine refined by the Xian family. Once they are hit, they will be severely weakened even if they do not die.
Faced with such an arrow rain offensive, the demon clan would not ignore it, but would respond with ferocious spell attacks, not giving the arrows a chance to fall. A large number of arrows were destroyed before they got close, but there were always some sporadic arrows that passed through the obstacles and hit some little demons, triggering a series of wailing calls.
Long-range bombardment like this is a must-have before every formal siege. The monsters consume the power of the magic circle in this way, while the human cultivators use the magic circle and arrow rain to consume the magic power and quantity of the monsters. .
Because of this, the early war of attrition was neither spectacular nor intense. Only the blurry colored light at the top of the city brought a dazzling scenery to the war.
Under the bombardment of hundreds of rounds of spells, the protective light above Dongjin City finally gradually dimmed.
At this time, the protective formation at the top of the city was still functioning, but it was difficult to prevent the demon clan from forcibly breaking through. Of course, this does not mean that humans have no power, but just like the demon clan does not have an army to press on, it is impossible for humans to press all the chips in the face of this level of attack.
The most important thing is that the guards know why the demon tribe came and what they should do.
Seeing the dimming of the magic circle at this moment, the white-haired demon poisonous heart king smiled and said: "We can start."
"Roar!"
The three Sky-shattering beasts simultaneously let out violent roars that shook the sky and the earth.
The roar shocked all the soldiers. Some even sat down on the spot and even urinated. Some of the weak-willed ones couldn't hold back and fell directly from the high city wall. The hundred-foot-long city wall fell to the ground and turned into a pulp.
At the same time, the monsters shouted wildly together and began to attack the city.
The static war, which had appeared somewhat polite just now, tore off its gentle mask in an instant, showing the wildest side of war.
A large number of monsters rushed towards the city. The height of a hundred feet could not stop their amazing strength. Some monsters just jumped lightly and flew up to the city, forcibly tearing open the magic circle's mask. In a flash, he appeared next to a human soldier. With a flick of his arm, he grabbed the soldier into his mouth and chewed it up. The delicious taste made it so excited that it forgot all about it. The next moment, it was stabbed in the chest by hundreds of sharp arrows. The strong poison made this rampant monster pay the price and died on the spot.
More monsters flew directly from the air. They shouted excitedly and pounced on the human soldiers below.
At the same time, at the top of the city in the distance, a war general wearing a purple cloak waved his hand. Behind him, countless cultivators flew up to meet the killing monsters. They have far fewer trees than the demon clan, but they have gathered their strength until now. At this moment, they release the spells they have been preparing for a long time.
Under the bombardment of a large area of magical flames, nearly a hundred monsters died on the spot in just one attack.
But monsters are not easy to deal with either.
The counterattack from the monsters started quickly, and a **** battle officially started at the top of the city of Dongjin Pass.
Blood poured down from the sky like a torrential rain, and the crazy killing suddenly revealed the cruel nature of war.
However, all this was indifferent in the eyes of the demon king or the old general who had experienced battles. For them, a war like this was nothing more than a piece of cake.
A new recruit shivered as he watched the raging battle. He looked at the sky and murmured: "What they can't conquer, they can't conquer."
The veteran beside him glanced at him with disdain and said: "Of course they can't attack, but that's not their purpose...life, blood and killing are!"
For the demon clan, every war is actually a hunt. The corpses of those human soldiers are the best trophies. As for the human side, with the help of the restraint of mortal soldiers, it is the opportunity for cultivators to kill a large number of monsters. They can't stop the monsters from eating people. The only thing they can do is to kill as many monsters as possible until the monsters can no longer bear the casualties and start to retreat.
Both humans and demons understand this truth. Because of this, the demon clan will not attack in large numbers, and the humans will not rely on magic circles to defend themselves. Each will satisfy some of the other's needs and gain some. Among them, those dead lives are just the most insignificant number in all calculations.
Even cultivators can die for the sake of war, let alone mortals?
Listening to the veteran's words, the recruit was at a loss.
"You mean, the government recruited us just to fill these monsters?" He asked in disbelief.
"Otherwise, what do you think it is? Do you really think you can kill so many monsters with a bow and a few arrows? They are monsters, monsters with magical power! You brat, learn to be sensible. This is In the war of cultivators, in such a war, if a mortal can shoot a few arrows and use them as bait to provide opportunities for those cultivators to kill, it is already a contribution. The only thing you and I can hope for now is that they can kill Be faster, be more ruthless, and let those monsters retreat as soon as possible. The only thing you can do is to survive as much as possible." Lying in the pile of dead bodies, the veteran said to the new recruit.
There were monsters whistling around everywhere. The soldiers could not retreat, and some of the more famous ones could only pretend to be dead. The recruit in front of me was lucky enough to follow a veteran ~IndoMTL.com~ and followed him among the dead, listening to him talk about how to survive on the battlefield.
"But you'll die if you do this, right?" the recruit said.
The freshly dead meat is also fresh, and the monsters are not picky eaters.
"That depends on luck." The veteran replied.
As he finished speaking, a tiger-headed eagle beast fell from the sky, grabbed the veteran's body and flew into the air.
"No!" the recruit shouted loudly, watching helplessly as the veteran's figure disappeared into the air.
The next moment, a cat demon has rushed up the city wall and rushed towards the recruits, growing in size in the recruits' eyes.
At the moment when the sharp claws tore his body apart, a big hand suddenly blocked the recruit.
With just one slap, the cat demon turned into a meat pie.
