Chapter 701 - 324: Three Dao Defensive Lines (Part 2)
These fire cannons are not as precious as long-range missiles; they focus on being affordable and plentiful!
The entire city shook at once, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but fierce flames!
Though they may not be able to shake the Horned Demon’s defenses, they can significantly disrupt the enemy’s detection.
Chu Xiu and the other two exchanged glances silently, and tacitly crept toward the edge of the battlefield.
To maximize the concealment of their presence, Chu Xiu did not even expand his Divine Sense and relied solely on his naked eyes to observe the enemy.
At this time, even before they approached the Black Death Pillar, they saw layers of massive city walls over fifty meters high, towering like mountains rising from the ground.
There were a total of three such city walls, surrounding the Black Death Pillar in layers, with heavy troops guarding each wall!
These city walls naturally cannot stop Heroic Spirit Awakened, but the enemy’s goal is to block your Low Tier force.
Without the cover of those forces, it’s hard to approach the defensive line and make a surprise attack.
At the same time, it’s also to increase the difficulty of infiltration for stronger individuals.
These city walls are equipped with numerous detection devices, and the closer you get, the higher the detection power.
Although Demigod-level beings have various mysterious concealment techniques, they still have to obey the basic physical laws. The more you don’t want to be discovered, the more you need to suppress your energy intensity to an extremely low level.
If you fly over the city walls, the energy intensity will naturally rise, making it extremely easy to be exposed.
And without mobilizing Spiritual Power, merely relying on the physical body to climb is not feasible because these city walls are composed of "black fog," filled with sensors inside, and any physical contact with the wall will immediately trigger an alarm!
In this situation, either possess an extremely strong concealment ability, making it so that even flying in the sky, the enemy’s experts can’t detect you or rely on the cover of Low Tier Awakened.
The former is absolutely impossible for Chu Xiu, this "Pseudo-Heroic Spirit," so he can only pin his hopes on the latter.
The best scenario is to break a gap in the city wall, which would make it much easier.
Unfortunately, as shells fell on the city wall, those heavy mortar shells with a destructive range of dozens of meters seemed powerless in front of the mighty city wall, like mayflies shaking a tree.
At this moment, a single Horned Demon flew out of the city wall, rapidly flying at high altitudes. A glance from their demon pupils could easily spot the artillery camp several kilometers away. Their horns emitted golden light, and gold longbows condensed on their hands, with piercing arrows breaking through the sky. The nearby artillery camp was destroyed as if hit by a high-precision missile strike!
This scene left Chu Xiu and his companions feeling helpless.
There’s no way around it, modern technology is still too fragile in front of High-Tier creatures unless nuclear weapons are used!
A General Tier Horned Demon is equivalent to a heavy bomber capable of supersonic maneuvering! And the enemy’s advance teams can deploy thousands of Horned Demons at will!
Only a few technology weapons fused with Extraordinary Power can slightly contend with them, but such weapons are extremely precious and in scarce supply!
Weapons like Titan Giant Mechanisms, which can unleash Heroic Spirit Level firepower output, are even more rare!
Originally, Peng City had thirty-four, but after several days of intense warfare, only nine are left now. It seems that the main purpose of the previous Horned Demon attacks was not to compress the defensive line but to destroy these war machines, greatly reducing the pressure to defend later on!
Now, even if these nine war machines continue rumbling, they can no longer turn the tide of the battle.
Finally, after a ten-minute exchange of fire, Peng City’s close-range artillery fire has been almost completely destroyed, while the three massive city walls of the Horned Demons, though now full of pits and craters as if plowed, remain sturdy overall! However, many internal weapons and equipment have been destroyed.
There’s no way around it; the result of the Horned Demons having per capita High-Tier combat power is that they possess far superior anti-aircraft interception capabilities. Peng City’s saturating attack could not reach the upper limit of their defensive capabilities!
This made the three people’s expressions even graver.
"Looks like we’ll still have to rely on the Awakened for a surprise attack."
Although the city wall is solid, as long as a Heroic Spirit Awakened gets close, they can instantly blast out a big hole!
Just as this thought settled, a dozen figures suddenly rushed out without warning!
Those figures moved extremely fast; the Horned Demons guarding the city wall tried to stop them, but they saw several Spiritual Lights flare. In just one encounter, over a hundred Horned Demons exploded into pieces!
In the next moment, the leading five figures roared in unison, and with a sound far greater than any bomb, the enormous city wall was directly blasted open with a gap over a hundred meters wide! Dozens of Horned Demons behind were also melted by the dissipating energy waves!
Chu Xiu’s eyes lit up; the Heroic Spirits had taken action!
And after these Heroic Spirits broke through the first city wall, they began to slaughter the enemy madly. The dispersed Horned Demon squads were no match for them. They unleashed their terrifying power without hesitation, just like the Heroic Spirit Horned Demons had done while assaulting the human defensive lines before!
In less than a breath’s time, over a hundred Horned Demons were killed again, and the weapons in the defensive positions were mostly destroyed just by the scattered shockwaves!
Meanwhile, the core group was tirelessly charging toward the second city wall!
