Almighty Lord of Another World

When the night was deep, the soldiers guarding the outer city wall heard the sound of Wuyang Wuyang footsteps coming from outside the city.

But it was dark outside, and there was no moon in the sky to provide light, and the guards could not see what was coming outside.

"Shoot a fireball!" a squadron commander issued an order.

Five catapults threw the burning resin balls, scattered in the direction of the city wall facing the fan, and the fire **** were less than 50 meters apart.

By the light of the fire, the officers and soldiers who defended the city could see the shadowy crowd coming towards the city wall, the number was astonishing.

Because the catapult launched the fireball at a long distance, except for these figures, the people on the wall really couldn't see clearly.

However, finding these shadows was enough. A large number of catapults behind the city wall began to throw flaming-oiled gravel continuously to cover targets outside the city. The zombies that were hit followed on fire, and the sebum burned to form a human-shaped torch after another, greatly illuminating the environment under the city wall in the dark.

The commander who guarded the city saw the situation in front of him really sucking in air, and saw that the black and stiff zombies walking with terrifying faces were approaching the city wall, and they would soon reach the moat.

Those ignited zombies were not afraid of the burning of the flames, and proceeded step by step until the fire cooked their heads or destroyed their movement systems.

Usually there are only 10,000 imperial guards stationed in the palace. In fact, it is also 10,000. If there is a special situation, the army guarding the city will come from reinforcements from various regions of the kingdom, but where to go for help at this time ? Even if you ask for help, you can't reach the royal city. The road has been occupied by zombies. Until there is no effective way to get rid of zombies and prevent them from becoming zombies, no one dared to help the royal capital.

Therefore, the ten thousand guards divided two thousand to guard the palace, and the remaining eight thousand people were scattered on the wall to perform guard tasks.

The city wall is very long. Throwing 8,000 people on it, on average, one person has to guard nearly one meter. Although there will be no loopholes, there are many enemies to face. Look at the group of zombies that are still approaching below. At least one person has to deal with a dozen of them, and they are exhausted!

After the guards kept shooting crossbows and crossbows, it turned out that only the head of a zombie could die. However, the accuracy of the soldiers is not that high. The city wall is more than 20 meters high, and the zombies are still moving across the moat. Only those with better military ranks can score five or six in ten.

The defensive pressure was too great. The soldiers felt that they had shot a lot of crossbow arrows, but very few enemies were killed.

If it were a living person, their defensive effect would definitely not be this way, but these monsters in front of them, seeing that their chests were almost full of crossbow arrows, and they were still the same as if they were not hurt.

The serfs who belonged to the royal family living behind the city wall were pulling the polished stone bullets from the war-ready warehouse to the back of the city wall in carts, and then smashed them with a sledgehammer and poured them with fire oil for the attack of the catapult.

Ordinary physical damage does not have much effect. It can only be achieved by fire attacks. Once the burning zombies enter the zombie group, it will have a chain reaction and can ignite other zombies. This is comparable to shooting with a crossbow on a city wall. The guards are much more efficient in killing.

Although there are pedal-assisted winding equipment, after a long time, every soldier feels sore in his legs, and the posture of shooting with a bow and crossbow has changed from the initial arm to the wall.

Although these zombies could not cause direct damage if they failed to attack the city wall guards, they were able to put these soldiers down alive.

Fortunately, there is a wide moat outside, which can also prevent zombies from approaching.

But the good times did not last long. At the beginning, the zombies were washed away by the river after entering the moat. When the number of zombies became more and more, the power of the river water was dispersed by the zombies entering the water, and they could no longer resemble one. At first, I couldn't get together like that.

When the "obstacles" formed by the zombies that filled the river were formed, the defenders finally began to panic, because these zombies were already very close to themselves.

Those who fled in said that as long as they are close to these monsters, they may be infected and become the same monsters. Therefore, the morale of the guards on the wall is uncontrollable and the morale is unstable~www.ltnovel.com~Additionally The exhaustion of the last night really made many officers and soldiers on the verge of collapse.

In the end, all the catapults were scrapped, and the stone bullets were moved to the city wall and turned into rubbles, but they couldn't kill the zombies at all.

Seeing that the moat under the city wall was blocked by zombies, the water level of the moat dropped rapidly. More and more zombies stepped on their bodies to climb across the river and rushed towards the city wall. Many of them have already begun to gather under the city wall.

The commander saw that the situation was already bad. The officers and soldiers guarding the upper city wall only did simple protection, that is, to cover their mouth and nose with a face towel, and they didn't know that this method would not work. If it doesn't work, let the infected appear on the wall, then the whole army may be in danger and the whole army will be wiped out!

So the commander decisively ordered everyone to evacuate and enter the second city wall to guard, where there are still many materials available. Besides, the outermost wall is very far from the second wall, and those monsters shouldn't pass so quickly.

With an order, these Imperial Guard officers and soldiers were relieved and ran down the city. They had lost their weapons and did not want to go back and pick them up. It was too tormented. They all wanted to leave the city wall quickly and go to the back to sleep well. At a glance, they were about to break down!

When the Guards were defending the outer wall, the people who passed the news reported the real-time situation to the palace one after another, and they almost vomited blood on these royal servants and horses.

When they learned that the Imperial Guard had ordered to retreat to the second city wall, although everyone was uneasy, they didn't say anything.

Because the commander’s words make sense. On the outermost wall, if the number of soldiers is not enough, it is difficult to achieve the ultimate defense. When the two-story wall is not so long, the defensive efficiency can be improved a lot.
