, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Journey to the End of the World!
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" A country soldier shivered and huddled in a corner of the fortress.
He was only twelve meters away from the cave, but even within this short distance, he did not dare to take a step closer.
Because the ten layers of masonry above the fortress where he was located had all been shattered. The later-repaired masonry was shattered into pieces because the beams in the middle were hit by sub-munition bombs. The fortress without support appeared hollow, and there were continuous structures on the open patio. The shells fell, destroying the fort beyond recognition.
Only the soldiers hiding in the corners escaped temporarily, but it was only a matter of time before they were bombarded to pieces!
What a coincidence, Zhang Tianliu was staying in this fortress that was opened.
Looking at another mother bomb above his head exploded, countless bullets rained down, destroying their last escape route, the tunnel built by the rune craftsman. Zhang Tianliu shook his head and smiled bitterly, while the soldiers beside him were about to cry. tears!
It’s over!
The last escape route is gone!
Had I known this, I should have seized the distance between the cannonballs and rushed towards the hole at the risk of death. Maybe there was a chance of survival. Now, I can only wait for death.
Zhang Tianliu took out the dried meat, took a few bites and put it in his pocket, chewing while moving the bricks.
Now everyone is waiting to die. Only Zhang Tianliu made a move, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. At first, everyone thought he wanted to be a dead ghost, but as he repaired some intact rune bricks that had fallen out around him, everyone understood Got it!
"This kid hasn't given up yet!"
Although everyone doesn’t think he can succeed, because there are formation patterns on the bricks, and the patterns are somewhat different for each type of brick, and there is no one that fits well. The rune brick is just a slightly harder ordinary brick, and it will also be damaged. The shells shattered and flew away, injuring those around them.
Only by forming a complete array of bricks can the entire defense be effective. What's more, bricks alone are not enough. They also need to be supported by beams, otherwise they cannot be capped. Is it any different from the fortress that has been opened in front of you?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianliu actually made it!
The half-destroyed half beam was used as the main beam. It doesn’t matter if the bricks on the side don’t fit, just carve it on the spot!
Using scraps of wood, broken bone armor, bone knives, and fragmentary materials from the body of the rune maker, these leftover materials were used to make a wall. When bullets poured down again, Zhang Tianliu left Zhang Tianliu's place, and the rest of the place was more or less Everyone has suffered!
A general put down his bone shield and immediately shouted to Zhang Tianliu: "Little brother, please be more lenient."
"Yes, it's best to come to us!" This is what the soldier on the opposite side prayed.
"Give me a seat!" This is when the soldiers near Zhang Tianliu discovered that there were protective measures, and immediately gathered together, all squeezing behind the wall tiles repaired by Zhang Tianliu.
There are at least seven layers of protection above their heads. The edge defense of this circular fortress is very thick. The only thing that can hurt them is the splash aftermath of the shell explosion, and most of them are wearing bone armor, which is very large. It is unable to withstand the small stones splashed by it to a certain extent. Don't underestimate this kind of thing. If it happens to pass through the gap in the bone armor, it can easily penetrate into the human body. If it injures the internal organs, it can be fatal.
However, their bone armor is still barbaric bone armor, a kind of simple exoskeleton armor that stimulates brute strength and has huge gaps. It has no protection near the waist and is only supported by a spine on the lower back. Nine out of ten people in the fortress The soldier died because his waist and abdomen were hit by flying stones and he bled to death.
The wall repaired by Zhang Tianliu can withstand splash damage very well. As long as the curved wall above their heads can last longer, they still have hope of survival.
Zhang Tianliu worked hard in silence. Although he moved very quickly, he was the only one after all. The others could only watch and could not help at all. This led to the second wave of sputtering attacks. Many of the soldiers who were pushed to the edge were injured, and three of them were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
"What are you doing? Move all the materials nearby. If you don't recognize the materials, move the bricks. Try to pick complete bricks. Do you understand? Don't use half bricks. The space is already small. Moving here will only If you get in the way, everyone who blows up the back door will die."
Finally, a runesmith risked his life and ran to Zhang Tianliu from between the shells and began to give instructions.
"Little brother, your skills are pretty good. Have you ever been a rune craftsman before?"
"Bonemaker." Zhang Tianliu answered casually, without arousing the other party's suspicion. Many bonebreakers are also proficient in the work of runesmiths, but they just don't have access to rune production. There is absolutely no problem with the craftsmanship, and even some The old boner's craftsmanship is better than that of the Wen sect's rune master.
What surprised the runesmith was Zhang Tianliu's calmness in the face of danger!
He also had the skills to repair walls, but in the desperate environment just now, he could only wait for death. It was Zhang Tianliu who woke him up and gave him hope that he could continue to survive by relying on his craftsmanship.
With such a relaxed mind, the runesmith not only rolled up his sleeves and got to work, but also continued to help build the wall with his soldiers.
Soon, this rune craftsman infected the opposite rune craftsman. There are actually quite a few rune craftsmen in the fortress. You can spot ten at a glance. But I was too frightened just now and forgot about my creative hands. Now I am calm. After coming down, they all invested in the wall construction project, and hundreds of soldiers also joined in, assisting the rune craftsmen in building protective walls one after another around the edge of the fortress.
"Huh? Why is there no sound?"
The young commander in the fortress was suddenly startled and looked towards the sky above the sloping patio.
The little commander who has experienced hundreds of battles is particularly sensitive to the sound effects of the battlefield. Although there have been cases where the sound of artillery has stopped before, it has a frequency, from dense and slowly loosening, to regular bursts of cannons. , there is always a rhythm.
But now, the little commander feels that this rhythm is broken!
This is not a good thing!
The appearance of the evil insects’ attack rhythm indicates that they have to change their tactics!
"Be careful! Underfoot!" The little commander suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted. He took the lead and smashed the bone shield to the ground. The person stepped on the bone shield, but nothing happened. It looked like a little commander. The leader himself is going crazy. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuａ.comｍ
Before anyone could make fun of them, suddenly, the ground inside the fortress bulged out, and what came out was not the soldiers holding engineer shovels, but the knife bugs that made everyone frightened!
"Not good!"
The soldiers near the knife bug were so frightened that they peed their pants.
The Knife Insect doesn't care whether you are afraid or not. The moment it emerged from the ground, the blade wings on its body spread out like exploding hair, and swooped along the edge of the fortress, killing five people in an instant and cutting three in half. , one person's head fell to the ground, and only half of the last person's head was cut off. Death was more miserable than a complete head falling to the ground!
The knife insect's offensive has not stopped, and there are still a bunch of people crowded in the corner in front of it, waiting for it to harvest.
But its swooping momentum failed to withstand these people, and it was stopped by a bone knife.
The one who took action was Zhang Tianliu!
I saw a trace of strange blood blooming from the blood on the surface of the bone knife in his hand. In an instant, the sword insect armor with strong defense was pierced by the bone knife from the front. As the blade was pulled out, a shuddering sound was splashed out. Blue blood.
