2528 The monsters “siege (1)
On the top of the city wall of tianxu, a group of believers was standing guard, looking very well-guarded.
Although the enemy’s camp in the forest had been destroyed, it did not mean that the war was over. After all, the enemy was still there and had only temporarily escaped.
As long as the time was right. The enemy would still come back.
And the next time the enemy came, it would definitely not be in the same number as before, but would be multiplied.
Occupying and snatching a city was equivalent to a great crime of rebellion, and it would definitely cause a great shock within the Empire.
But the church of the alarm bell didn’t care. They firmly believed that a catastrophe was coming and the whole world would be shrouded in darkness.
At that time, the entire Empire would no longer exist. It would be difficult to even protect themselves, so how could they send troops to attack the Heaven’s Wall city?
Even if the enemy really attacked, the believers would not be afraid. With the geographical advantage of the Heaven’s Wall city and the sharp weapons in their hands, they could completely block the enemy’s attack.
Because of the enemy’s retreat, the believers ‘vigilance was slightly reduced and they were no longer as nervous as before.
Therefore, they did not notice that in the forest at the edge of the lake, there were many strong black shadows that appeared.
The Army of monsters led by the sky Market City Lord had quietly returned and was ready to attack.
They held sabers, Spears, and clubs in their hands as they looked at the Heaven’s Wall city with cold eyes. Their eyes were filled with uncontrollable greed and excitement.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”
There was a slight sound of water, and monsters began to walk into the lake. Soon, their bodies were submerged in the water.
Thin and long tubes were squeezed out of the monster’s body, floating quietly on the water.
This was the monster’s breathing organ, which could ensure that they could move normally in the water without exposing their bodies.
Using the lake water as a cover, the monsters could quietly approach the Heaven’s Wall city and launch a surprise attack.
By approaching through the bottom of the lake, it would be more secretive and could catch the believers off guard.
In fact, in the center of the lake, there were several defensive devices to prevent enemies from diving in.
However, with the passage of time, these defense devices had long been abandoned and became a paradise for fish and shrimp monsters.
Although the monsters looked similar, only a few of them had the ability to breathe underwater. Perhaps it was because they were good at swimming.
There weren’t many of these monsters, only a few hundred in total, so they were responsible for the sneak attacks.
The other monsters were hiding in the forest, waiting for the right time to attack together.
Quietly, the monsters approached the suspension bridge and gathered near the huge piers.
Even now, the believers guarding the suspension bridge still did not notice anything unusual and were still chatting leisurely.
The believers in the Heaven’s Wall city inadvertently saw a large black shadow suddenly appear under the clear Lake.
At first glance, they thought they were fish, but upon closer inspection, they realized that they were actually ferocious human figures.
By the time they realized something was wrong and were about to issue a warning, the monster at the bottom of the water had already started to move, rushing out of the water like lightning.
The monster used both its hands and feet to climb up the suspension bridge like a group of super large spiders.
The believers guarding the suspension bridge were caught off guard and were thrown to the ground one after another, turning into corpses before they could struggle.
In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, the Heaven’s Wall city strictly forbade anyone from going out. The bridges that were originally used for passage were also hung up.
The monsters ‘primary goal was to seize control of the suspension bridge so that they could bring their companions over.
After gaining control of the bridge, they could lower the bridge and the monsters hiding in the forest could attack.
This was the most important step. If they could not complete this, the monsters could forget about entering the Heaven’s Wall city.
Although the monster had gained more powerful strength, there was still a limit to it. It was not omnipotent.
“There’s a monster trying to take the bridge!”
The believers guarding the bridge shouted at the top of their lungs, but they were pushed to the ground in the blink of an eye. The monsters in the water had all come up the bridge and were fighting with the believers who had rushed out of the city gate.
Their sharp claws kept waving, easily tearing the bodies of the believers, and the remains were scattered everywhere.
The weapons used by ordinary believers could not hurt these monsters at all. Their thick scales were the best defense.
The battle was one-sided, and the believers were killed until their blood flowed like a river!
The Heaven’s Wall city’s defenders had been alarmed. While they sent people to support them, they also launched an attack from above.
No matter what price they had to pay, they couldn’t let the suspension bridge be stolen. Otherwise, the first line of defense of the Heaven’s Wall city would disappear.
Many of the believers ‘faces were pale. They did not care that their companions were still below and shot arrows at the suspension bridge.
As a result, when the arrows landed on the ground, not only did they not hurt the monsters, but they also hurt their own companions or fell into the lake.
“Damn it, listen to my orders and don’t shoot randomly!”
Seeing the believers ‘panic, the officer in charge of the command flew into a rage. Such an attack that did not distinguish between friend and foe would only make them lose control of the suspension bridge faster.
this is bad! More monsters are coming from the bridgehead!
Soon, the believers saw groups of monsters rushing up the long bridge like a black flood, rushing toward the Heaven’s Wall city.
“Damn it, the catastrophe has really come!”
Seeing this scene, the believers in the Heaven’s Wall city all had the same thought.
“Du du du.”
A dull horn sounded, signaling the arrival of war. There would be no more peace from now on.
The believers at the top of the Heaven’s Wall city had already begun to control the cannons and ballistae to attack the long bridge.
At this moment, no one cared if the Great Wall was damaged or not. They only wanted to kill all the monsters that rushed up the long bridge.
Muffled explosions rang out as cannonballs were fired, making ear-piercing whistling sounds.
The Cannonball landed on the bridge and rolled through the monsters, leaving a deep bloody ditch.
Even though the monster’s skin was thick, it was still unable to resist the impact of the solid Cannonball. It was instantly smashed into a pile of meat.
The church of the alarm bell had a high level of manufacturing and could produce blossoming cannonballs, but most of their equipment was still solid cannonballs.
Although it was slightly lacking in destructive power, it was perfect for protecting the long bridge and wouldn’t cause too much damage to the bridge.
Otherwise, the entire bridge would collapse under the bombardment. It would take a lot of manpower and resources to repair it.
However, if the situation was critical, they could only blow up the long bridge and cut off the enemy’s passage to the Heaven’s Wall city.
As the cannons and ballistae fired at the same time, the monsters on the long bridge did suffer some casualties, but they were getting closer and closer to the suspension bridge.
At the location of the suspension bridge, the killing became more and more intense. The monster waved its sharp claws and Long Knives, cutting down the believers who rushed up to the ground.
There were flesh and blood everywhere. Although there were monster corpses, most of them belonged to the church of the alarm bell.
A dozen or so monsters had already rushed to the control panel of the broken bridge. They violently destroyed the panel and released the long chains.
With a series of creaking sounds, the long bridge began to slowly lower and was about to connect with the other side.
The monsters that were charging at them from the long bridge had already reached the other side of the suspension bridge and were now under attack from the Heaven’s Wall city.
Looking at the hanging bridge that was falling, the monsters jumped up and successfully grabbed the bridge. After climbing up, they rushed to the other side.
The monsters that were fighting for the broken bridge became fiercer after the reinforcements arrived. They started to attack the city gate.
The Heaven’s Wall city’s believers who were in charge of providing reinforcements had also arrived at the city gate at this moment. The two sides would soon meet.
But at that moment, a Cannonball hit the chain of the suspension bridge, directly breaking the arm-thick chain into two.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
With a muffled sound, the remaining chain could not bear the heavy load and suddenly broke.
As the suspension bridge came crashing down, the monsters that were stuck at the other end of the bridge were like a flood that had its gates opened, flooding towards the city gate.
