Chapter 383: The defensive battle of the level 5 City Tower (8)
Translator: 549690339
The Holy Dragon city’s counterattack was so fast that the mercenaries attacking the city had no time to react.
In the blink of an eye, the Holy Dragon City revealed their hidden claws and fangs, and began to wantonly reap the lives of these city assaulters.
Artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns, rocket launchers, and hundreds of anti-armor sniper rifles.
They unleashed their might at the same time, bombarding the bottom of the city wall!
The first to suffer a destructive blow were the elf archers who were constantly firing fiery red Arrows.
These archers were standing close to two thousand meters away from the Holy Dragon city’s walls. They had not been listed as the primary targets of the Holy Dragon city’s Warriors.
However, as the fiery red Arrows headed straight for the top of the wall, the hundreds of archers were immediately locked on by the sniper cultivators.
Large-caliber bullets whizzed through the air and landed on the archers ‘bodies, creating terrifying holes in their white armor.
After being stimulated by the bloody scene of their comrades ‘deaths, these archers screamed and dodged, but they were hit by bullets again after running a few steps.
The sniper cultivators on the city wall were fully focused. They had completely blocked the elven archers ‘escape route and would not give them any chance to escape!
The unique and dull gunshots kept ringing out from the top of the wall, seemingly unable to be covered by the other gunshots.
The sniper cultivators of the Holy Dragon City calmly pulled their triggers, continuously reaping the lives of their enemies from above, bringing out the performance of the anti-material sniper rifle to the extreme.
Looking at the elf archers who fell to the ground howling in pain, the mercenary leaders ‘faces turned gloomy. Such a long-range gun was simply impossible to defend against.
Before they could recover from their shock, gunshots that were even more intense than a storm suddenly erupted from the mountains around the Holy Dragon Valley.
The 10 close-range defense cannons installed on the peak of the mountain began to fire, and a dense torrent of metal filled the entire sky in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered in a thick layer of burning bullet shells.
The black-robed cultivators who were waving their huge Sickles in the sky began to fall in droves.
Their broken bodies fell down like rain, and the wailing only stopped when they hit the ground.
The dense attack formation in the sky was thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The black-robed cultivators who were lucky enough not to be hit by the bullets were staring at the close-range defense cannon behind the protective shield with horror in their eyes through their hideous masks as if they had seen a ghost.
Without any hesitation, they began to run for their lives.
Some of the black-robed cultivators felt that the giant Sickles were slow and simply threw them away, letting them fall to the ground.
The huge sickle was not light. After throwing it away, the black-robed cultivator’s escape speed nearly doubled!
Even so, many black-robed cultivators were still hit by the bullets and fell from the sky while screaming in pain.
The lucky ones were severely injured and passed out, while the unlucky ones were smashed into meat paste and died.
The dwarven mercenaries in charge of controlling the cannons to attack the city were also retaliated by the Holy Dragon city’s cannons.
After a series of deafening explosions, the cannons and dwarven cannoneers were all gone, leaving only deep pits filled with smoke and black broken limbs.
After the cannons killed the dwarven artillerymen, they quickly changed their target and continued to bombard them.
It was as if the cannonballs had eyes, and they were only aimed at the mercenaries who were operating long-range weapons. The explosions made them cry out in pain.
Behind them was the continuous sound of cannons, and in front of them was a death zone sealed by a rain of bullets. These mercenaries who were attacking the city were so scared that they didn’t have any courage to attack.
The casualties and difficulty of this siege had far exceeded the limits of what these mercenaries could bear. The fact that they had been able to hold on until now was enough to prove their bravery.
At this moment, the only thought in their minds was to survive in this purgatory-like battlefield.
Almost at the same time, all the attackers turned around and began to flee in all directions.
These mercenaries were afraid that they would be blown to pieces by the cannons if they were just a little slower!
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they ran quickly over the corpses that could be seen everywhere, completely ignoring the orders given by the leaders.
When he encountered anyone blocking his way, he would just slash at them with his saber and then continue running.
Whoever dared to stop them from escaping would be their mortal enemy!
“It’s over, Yingluo, it’s completely over, Yingluo.”
Looking at the mercenaries who were fleeing like rats with no fighting spirit on their faces, everyone knew that the siege mission had failed completely.
Against such an overpowered Holy Dragon City, the mercenaries in the ten towers did not have any chance of winning from the very beginning.
The leaders could only hope that fewer people would die, so that they could have enough combat power on the journey back to loucheng.
However, how many people could escape unscathed in the face of the barrage of artillery and metal?
Even though the mercenary leaders had the strength of a Lord, they were unable to save the retreating mercenaries. They could only watch as the mercenaries wailed in pain and were lifted into the air by the artillery.
It was a pity that Tang Zhen did not know the thoughts of these mercenary leaders. Otherwise, he would definitely sneer and tell them, ” “You guys are thinking too much!”
Since you dared to attack Holy Dragon City, don’t even think about retreating in one piece.
After failing to attack the city, they still wanted to leave. They really didn’t have any respect for the Holy Dragon City!
The punishment for these city assaulters had only just begun!
Just as the attacking mercenaries retreated like a tide, the gates of Holy Dragon City began to open slowly.
Nearly a thousand half-mechanized beasts swarmed out of the city gate and pounced on the mercenaries. Once they got close to their targets, they began to bite and tear them apart mercilessly.
After Tang Zhen activated these combat weapons that came from another dimension, they began to display their extraordinary power in the tower world.
The half-mechanized beast that was involved in the battle this time looked like a giant wolf. It was more than two meters tall and looked majestic.
They were extremely strong and fast, and their sharp teeth could easily tear apart ordinary armor.
According to the level of the monsters in the world of loucheng, their strength was equivalent to that of a Level-3 monster, and their combat power was very impressive!
The mercenaries who were slower in their escape could not struggle for long before their throats were bitten by the half-mechanical beasts.
After confirming that the one being chased had lost their combat power, they would pounce on the next target.
Seeing that they could not escape, some of the mercenaries formed small teams and turned around to fight the half-mechanical beasts.
Relying on their numbers, the mercenaries quickly gained the upper hand.
However, just as they thought they were about to win, the half-mechanical beast that was on the verge of death suddenly self-destructed, and countless super-corrosive liquids splashed out, burning the mercenaries and causing them to scream in pain.
The acid that could instantly corrode a deep hole in a stone burned the mercenaries into horrendous shapes, and their bodies were covered in shocking bloody holes.
After seeing this, the mercenaries didn’t dare to kill them. Even after subduing the half-mechanical beasts, they could only tie them up and continue to run for their lives.
However, every time this happened, a corrosive acid would flow out of the mouth of the half-mechanical beast, burning all the ropes and chains.
Seeing this, the mercenaries could only curse, ” how unlucky! and continue to run for their lives.
