Chapter 605 Confrontation
At 6:20 pm, just as the sun was about to set, a small black dot appeared on the horizon. The black dot looked so small in the vast desert, but then a second and third one appeared beside it... In the end, there were dense black dots everywhere in the sight.
A harsh alarm sounded from the Gold Rush Town. Rocky, who was fully armed, had already walked out of the command room, climbed into the granary, and nodded at the Great Milford, who was standing there, who was holding a magic telescope developed by the Magicians Association, observing the newly emerging black dots on the Margan Desert.
Rocky asked, “How many are there?”
"It is estimated that there are more than 30,000, and the weakest ones are of the second level or above. Before the magic post that we placed in the innermost was destroyed, we saw two abyss lords." Milford shook his head and handed the telescope to Rocky. "We have too few people and can only choose to stick to it. However, Gold Rush Town is not a heroic city like New Tert and Kaiyan City. It is just a small town spontaneously formed by the gold rush. There were no walls. The simple walls built with wood these days do not play much role in facing these abyss monsters. If we really fight, we will last for up to three days."
Rocky shook his head, "I won't fight."
Milford smiled, "Forget this, if the temple is fully confident, it would not send the Second Paladin to come. Isn't Commander Rocky also doing emergency plans two days ago?"
"Just just to be in case." Rocky put the telescope in front of him. The black dots that were originally blurred behind the lens turned into monsters with fangs and claws. Although there was still a considerable distance, even the saliva flowing out of the monsters' mouths and the hair on their bodies could be seen clearly.
The leader of the Second Paladin Order had to secretly praise it in his heart, but magic civilization has its own unique features.
Milford said, "This is just the first batch of monsters. I don't know how many more will be left in the future. The church would better not lie, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable if these monsters scattered into the surrounding towns."
"The temple will not lie about such things. Many of the residents nearby are our believers. As paladins, I also have the responsibility to protect them." Rocky said, returning the telescope in his hand to the other party.
Just as the two of them were talking, the army of monsters had advanced a few miles. They were moving very fast and were still on the war horses. According to this estimate, at most half a magical place could come to the Golden Town.
Milford activates the magic circle under the simple city wall.
This was the first defense set up by the Magicians Association in the Jin-Taojin Town. The bone-broken cold air gushed out from the ground, and soon covered the surroundings with a layer of white frost. The merchants carried the bucket down and watered them desperately. After a while, the simple wooden wall was frozen into a huge ice lump. The thick ice layer greatly enhanced the defense ability of the city wall.
But now it is in the desert, and this ice wall will not last long. At most, it will last for half a day. Even if the monsters do not take action, they will slowly lose their effect. Milford did not stop. After building the ice wall, he issued a new order to activate the floating turret that stayed above the town.
This is the real killer move of the Magicians Association. This star-breaking type aerial turret is equipped with 243 gun barrels, which can shoot hundreds of magic shells at one time. It is a veritable battlefield killer. After awakening, it unfolds its ferocious shape. Looking at the steel fortress above the head that represents the peak technology of magic, everyone's fear of the monsters in the desert was much lessened.
After Milford issued two commands one after another, he stopped talking, but just stood there quietly. Whether it was the Magicians Association or the Temple, the strategy this time was very clear. The power arranged in the Gold Town was just in case. Unless the situation was out of control, they needed to take action, otherwise the order they received was just to wait and see.
At 6:46, the first wave of monsters arrived under the ice wall of Taojin Town. The guards on the wall could see the enemy clearly. Many people saw the abyss creatures for the first time. Unlike the species on the Dawn Continent, the bodies of the abyss creatures are stronger and more ferocious. Every organ and every inch of their bones are for adapting to survival. The abyss environment is thousands of times worse than that of the Dawn Continent. The extreme scarcity of materials has made killing an eternal theme there.
Weak species will definitely be eliminated, while powerful species will become food for more powerful species. Under such cruel laws of competition, almost all living things that can survive have their own advantages.
Looking at the sea of monsters that could not be seen at the end of their eyes, someone couldn't help but vomit under the huge pressure of death. In comparison, the 19,000 people under Rocky were all elites in the Second Paladin Picture. Almost everyone had seen blood, but they performed better, but their white knuckles also showed their nervousness at the moment.
No one has seen so many monsters in one place. It has happened more than 200 years ago since the last crack of the abyss appeared. The tragic battle has been circulating within the church.
Therefore, when the first sheep-headed crocodile came under the ice wall, everyone's heart was in their throats. However, unlike the rumors of violent and bloodthirsty, the sheep-headed crocodile did not attack immediately after arriving, but stopped in place, and the monsters that arrived later did the same.
So an extremely strange scene appeared under the wall of Taojin Town, as if an invisible barrier blocked all the monsters there. They looked at each other from afar with the defenders on the wall, and their eyes were flashing fiercely.
Milford looked for a while, waved his hand, and finally said, "Let me go."
So he put down a hanging basket from the ice wall, and there were four men who looked vicious but trembling. They were death row prisoners found by Milford from the prison in a nearby security station. They were all evil people who carried more than one life on their backs. However, such evil people were as helpless and fearful as four little chickens when facing the group of monsters below.
Someone grabbed the rope tied to the hanging basket and wanted to climb up, but at least ten archers pointed at them with arrows. Finally, when the hanging basket was less than one meter away from the ground, the defenders on the wall directly cut off the rope, cutting off the last glimmer of hope for the four people.
The four death row prisoners turned pale. At this moment, they were surrounded by terrifying monsters that they had never heard of. At this distance, they could smell the stench in the other party's mouth. The unscrupulous guy peed his pants on the spot. However, what was strange was that the group of monsters did not move when they faced the four moving pieces in front of them. Although the closest few looked greedy, they were forcibly restrained.
Finally, a quarter of an hour passed, and four death row prisoners who fell into the pile of monsters were still jumping around.
