Chapter 496 Locusts

Creak~

The heavy crossbows arranged on the walls of Zhensha Pass were all strung up, and then the crossbowmen of the warriors adjusted the shooting angle.

Sharp crossbow arrows pointed to the sky.

These heavy crossbows for defending the city are all first-level magic weapons, which must be mastered and fired by cultivators. They have a long range and strong power. They can easily penetrate black iron armor within a thousand steps and have the ability to break the law.

One heavy crossbow is not scary. Even ordinary monsters can dodge the crossbow arrows fired.

But when the number increases to hundreds or even thousands, the lethality of the volley is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

For hundreds of years, countless sand people have died tragically under this kind of heavy crossbow.

However, what Daying warriors are facing today are countless locusts.

Facing the overwhelming insects, more than three thousand heavy crossbows seem sparse.

At the same time, the warriors quickly pushed out the god-killing cannons, took off the red gun coats, and the black muzzles glowed with a faint brilliance.

This is the real killer weapon equipped by Zhensha Pass, which is said to be a magic weapon that can destroy ten miles of destruction with one shot and can kill Jindan!

There are a total of twelve Zhushen Cannons, which are arranged on special gun towers. The gunners are all peak Qi training monks.

Under normal circumstances, Zhushen Cannons will only be deployed when Daying City is facing great danger.

Now that the locust army has not arrived, Zhushen Cannon has been activated, indicating that the commander-in-chief Kou Shihai believes that it is necessary.

This also makes the warriors stationed on the city wall nervous.

Everyone is silent and waiting.

The atmosphere is extremely solemn.

At this moment, in the sky, thousands of locust pioneers are approaching Zhensha Pass.

The buzzing sound emitted by the vibration of tens of millions of pairs of wings is like a devil's sound filling the brain, destroying the monks' eardrums!

Snap!

A large locust rushing in the front hit the barrier of the magic circle, and suddenly exploded into a bright flame, and then shattered into pieces and turned into a wisp of green smoke.

The protective magic array of Zhensha Pass is the most important part of Daying City's defensive magic array. It not only has a powerful and unparalleled defensive ability, but can also rebound and counterattack the enemy's attacks.

This big locust is like a moth flying into the fire, and it is a forest fire.

The result is no surprise.

However, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of big locusts swarmed in and fell on the magic array barrier.

Some of them crashed to death and exploded, some burned fiercely, but more of them lay on the translucent barrier, opened their jaws and teeth and bit desperately with their claws, and then were destroyed by the power of the magic array.

Countless locust corpses and their residual ashes fell from the sky.

It was as if a black rain had fallen!

But this was just the beginning. These locusts had no reason at all. They went forward one after another, ignoring the death of their own kind, and killed one batch after another.

It seemed endless!

If we only compare the individuals, the power of a big locust compared to the protective magic array can be said to be as small as dust.

But when their number reached a considerable level, the pressure on the magic barrier began to increase, and even showed a sign of instability!

At this time, the warriors stationed on the city wall moved.

Thousands of warriors waved their hands, and thousands of hot fireballs flew into the sky at the same time.

The spheres burning with flames passed through the magic barrier without stagnation and exploded among the locust army.

In the sky, flames bloomed!

Countless locusts were blown to pieces and ignited, falling to the ground one after another.

The warriors attacked wave after wave, clearing a large area of ​​airspace without using heavy crossbows.

But the number of locusts was too large, and the two sides soon fell into a war of attrition.

It should be said that the warriors had a complete upper hand, because they could calmly cast spells on the city wall to attack their opponents, and the locust army could not break through the magic barrier, so they could not hurt the monks at all.

This is the power of the city defense array, which gives the defenders a great advantage.

However, as time went on, the first batch of cultivators who took action quickly consumed their mana and were forced to retreat and take pills to recover their energy.

The second batch of warriors continued to take the lead.

At this time, new locusts appeared.

The new locusts were smaller in size, with a black and red body color, but they flew faster and more agilely.

The scary thing is that they have a certain degree of intelligence and can avoid the fireballs cast by the warriors, and their movements are very flexible.

This greatly reduces their own casualties and increases the burden on the warriors.

Their target is always the city defense array. When they land on it, they bite and destroy it desperately, increasing the consumption of the array.

For a time, the battle fell into a stalemate!

At the same time, Wang Chen, who was on the top of the Seven Star Pavilion, saw Kou Shihai who hurried over.

Previously, Wang Chen had been watching and did not take action.

Because his duty was to guard the Seven Star Pavilion, he could not act without authorization without the order of the commander-in-chief.

Otherwise, it would easily destroy the opponent's layout and cause unpredictable consequences!

Unexpectedly, Kou Shihai came in person.

The commander-in-chief said straight to the point: "Junior Brother Wang, I need your help."

Wang Chen answered without hesitation: "You say."

The two were not true allies, but they had already established a good relationship, and mutual support and help were a matter of course.

Kou Shihai said in a deep voice: "I suspect there are locusts in the city."

"Locusts?"

Wang Chen was stunned for a moment: "Locusts of locusts?"

This name is no ordinary oddity.

"That's right!"

What is currently attacking Zhensha Pass is a kind of demonized locust that lives in the desert.

Known as: Sand Locust.

This kind of demonized locust is very large and will break out every ten years, attacking and destroying oases in the desert.

The eggs are then laid deep into the sand until they break out of the sand more than ten years later.

And so on.

It is said that sand locusts can survive for a long time by gnawing on sand. They were originally the biggest threat to the sand people, but later the wizards of the sand tribe developed ways to control them and used them to deal with their enemies.

This is not the first time Zhenshaguan has been attacked by sand locusts!

Before launching an attack, the Sand Clan will send a carefully trained "locust" to sneak into Da Ying City.

This locust is equivalent to a human-shaped bait. Once the power of the blood veins is stimulated, it can attract hundreds of millions of sand locusts to swarm in, thus producing an attack effect.

Based on past battle examples, Kou Shihai judged that the Sha tribe was playing the same trick again.

If this locust is not dug out, the sand locust will fight until the last one is killed, otherwise it will never stop.

Although it is wishful thinking to capture Da Ying City by such means, the price paid by Da Ying City is also quite high.

The most troublesome thing is that the Sand Clan Hunting Cult took the opportunity to bypass Zhensha Pass and sneak into the West Sea Spiritual Realm, attacking the rear of Daying City.

Once the power of Da Ying City is contained, the damage caused by the hunting cultivators will be huge!
