Chapter 308 Siege
Everyone was slightly silent. If their Hope City was also captured, would they become one of the vast army of bones? It was chilling to think about it, so the best way was to survive and survive!
There were more and more skeletons, and they could not see the end at first sight, but it was not until noon that they finally moved. The first row of white bone fighters raised the uneven bone knife and rushed towards the direction of Hope City. There were about three or four thousand, and in more than ten seconds they entered the range of the defense tower.
Whoosh swish swish swish!
The first thing to open the defense mechanism is the middle-distance arrow tower. Due to the haste of time and the shortage of materials, these arrow towers built outside are all the primary buildings. The characteristics of this type of arrow tower are cheap, fast construction speed, and high firing speed, but the power is not satisfactory. Not to mention the previous Spider Legion, even the mutant monsters that have been continuously upgraded, facing these arrow towers at this moment, they probably won’t have much power.
Everyone was undoubtedly worried. When the first round of arrow rain fell in the whistling sound, everyone's heart almost had to be raised to their throats, and the result was unexpected.
The sharp arrows passed through the skeleton's chest, some were stuck in the ribs, and some accurately hit the bones. These bones easily turned into powder. These lowest-level arrows had unexpected results. Often, two or three arrows could basically cause a skeleton soldier to lose his movement and collapse to the ground. But if he wanted to truly destroy them, he had to destroy the soul flame in their eyes.
Fortunately, there were so many skeletons. All the skeletons in the first row were destroyed in just over ten minutes. They could not even rush to the defense tower. Then the second wave of skeletons also launched a charge. The number of these groups was about 10,000. They had no idea about their companions who had broken arms and legs lying on the ground and struggling with their legs. They stepped directly past them. The soul flames of the first batch of skeletons were quickly completely extinguished, which helped Haoren and the others to save trouble.
The second wave of skeletons still charged so desperately. They all fell down when they arrived at the edge of the defensive tower. Then there were the third wave of 20,000 skeletons. This time, many of them rushed into the defensive tower formation. However, the attack power of those rough bone swords was really limited, and at most they caused the arrow tower to be damaged to a limited extent, but they could not be truly destroyed at one time.
There was already a lot of cheers on the top of the city, and many people's hearts were settled. After three consecutive attacks, the Skeleton Legion did not take any advantage, which made everyone's morale soar. It felt as Haoren said, these skeletons only had numbers, and their combat power was really vulnerable.
Haoren and Qin Yang looked at each other for a few times, and they didn't feel a little worried. It was obvious that these skeletons attacked only to test the degree of defense. It was impossible for these unconscious skeletons to do these things themselves. That means that the people who commanded them must be monitoring the siege in a comprehensive manner through some method, and then adjust the orders at any time!
This is not good news, but now everyone is in trouble. What is waiting for them is the real attack of the Death Legion.
Sure enough, in the next fourth wave, the entire front row of the Skeleton Sea began to move. This time, the number of dispatches was at least about 100,000, densely rushing towards the arrow towers like locusts. A rain of arrows hit the sky, and the skeleton soldiers raised their bone knife to block, and the blocking success rate was not low, and an average of 30% of the arrows were blocked.
The damage to the arrow tower was quite high this time. Often several skeletons gathered next to an arrow tower, and the bone knife slashed desperately, but it was just a primary defense. Soon the outermost arrow tower was destroyed, and only half an hour passed.
After a moment of silence on the city wall, Qin Yang shrugged and said, "It's worth it!"
"Indeed, I almost killed more than 100,000 skeletons."
"How much does these arrow towers cost?" Some people still feel pain.
"The total cost of 50 arrow towers is about 50 doomsday coins, and the total cost of 25,000 doomsday coins is really cost-effective to exchange for more than 100,000 skeletons." Someone calculated that the cost of this primary arrow tower is indeed declining, but even so, they did not build too much, because the primary arrow tower itself is used as cannon fodder, which can consume as much power as the opponent, and that's all.
"Don't be careless! One hundred thousand is just a drop in the bucket. Haoren and Lin Tingzhi had killed more than one million before!"
"Look! They are starting to attack again!"
With a scream, everyone followed the sound and saw that after the wave of skeletons that had exceeded 100,000, the new attack began in just a few minutes. As before, as before, it was only a few thousand tentative attacks.
Behind the primary arrow tower is a circle of high-level defense towers, which is built with dozens of senior architects and even fewer expert architects. It is called the Boulder Defense Tower.
This type of defense tower does not have any attack power. It is very tall, as high as four or five floors, and is very wide and thick. When arranged in a dense manner, it is like a glimpse of the airtight wall, making people unable to find any loopholes that can take advantage of the situation.
The giant stone defense tower is used as a meat shield. Because it uses special materials and has a very high durability, it can also add some enchantments with fire and ice resistance properties on its surface as needed. However, Haoren and others did not do this, and replaced it with a rebound armor based on the body of the mutant Beetle.
Skeleton soldiers basically use physical attacks with bone spears, and elemental resistance is useless, but this kind of armor with rebound damage has a very huge effect. Although the maximum rebound can only reach 10%, based on the number of skeleton soldiers, this limit is terrifying after accumulation.
More importantly, behind the huge stone defense tower, the towering intermediate magic tower is the main force of the peripheral defense group. In order to make up for these defense towers, Haoren and others bought a large number of energy stones from the free team in southern Anhui Province at a cost price.
Thousands of waves of skeleton soldiers had not yet approached the boulder defense tower, but the skeletons were dispersed on the spot by the chain lightning defense tower behind them.
