Infrastructure Throne

Chiyuan River.

The Teng Snake orc army, led by the patriarch and Ji Wu, swam to the Chiyuan River in a mighty way. Suddenly, the vast river was almost filled with dense black snakes.

The scales with metallic luster and the thick and thick tail swayed sticky and wriggling in the river, and rushed from the other side of the river to the north bank of Yuanliu City.

The turbulent river seemed to be cut off by Teng Snake orcs, and a large area of ​​the river showed a dark and gloomy color.

This scene fell in the eyes of the hot air balloon observation post flying high above the north gate of Yuanliu City, and the dense black snakes made one's scalp tingle.

"Woo—" A low and long siren sounded throughout the city.

When the Tengshe orcs were about to land on the river bank, the closed north city gate burst open.

A scarlet steed led the crowd out, Yan Zui sat on the back of the fire horse with a gun, behind him, a thousand fire commanders and two thousand light cavalry holding anesthetic arrow crossbows followed closely.

The ground trembled under the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

On the top of the city, a large number of archers and artillery soldiers are in place. This time the snake orc attack is so vicious that people are caught off guard. Yuanliu City has no time to calmly arrange troops and dig trenches, minefields and other fortifications like before. .

Fortunately, since the advent of machine tools, the mass production of rifled flintlock guns has been greatly increased, and matchlock guns that shoot too slowly have been completely eliminated. A newly designed revolver has also been successfully developed, and Yan Zui has one in his hand.

Wading across the wide Chiyuan River, the Teng Snake Beastmen broke through the water, and the snake belly slid across the wet soil on the north bank, leaving behind wet and cold water stains and pieces of slippery mucus.

What greeted them was a round of dense and sharp arrow rain. The sound of howling pierced through the air. The steel-cast arrows rotated at high speed, and the tips reflected the silvery cold light.

Facing the threat of the arrow rain, the Teng Snake orcs did not retreat but advanced. Their exposed upper bodies were gradually covered by black scales. These scales were like natural armor, protecting their vital parts.

Ordinary iron and copper arrowheads could not hurt them at all, and were directly bounced off by the scales.The attacks of the human race are nothing more than this trick, and they have been seen a lot.

Unexpectedly, the arrows of Abyssal City this time are quite different from what they imagined!

In a blink of an eye, the sharply polished steel arrowhead forcibly broke through the scales, and the sound of the arrow hitting the Teng Snake Orc forward one after another.

A brief commotion forced the orcs to stop their attacking steps, and a large number of arrows got stuck between the hard scales and muscles of the orcs. Although it was not fatal, severe pain and bleeding were still unavoidable.

The orc army was enraged, and without the order of the patriarch, the vanguard had already entered a state of charge.

With the help of this brief buffer, the fire commanders and light cavalry led by Yan Zui had already lined up, ready to fight.

Since both Xiao Meng and Teng Changqing were sent by Yan Zui to protect Shen Qingze, the deputy commander of the guard temporarily replaced Xiao Meng. Seeing that the bow and arrow had little effect, the deputy commander was a little anxious: "My lord, these beast slaves are not afraid of bows and arrows, how about Let's shoot!"

Yan Zui sat quietly on Lie Huo's back, his five fingers holding the gun barrel were tightened little by little, he squinted his narrow eyes, looked ahead from a distance, and finally rejected the subordinate's proposal:

"We need fresh and complete snake gallbladder. If they are blasted into a meat paste with a cannon, if the snake gallbladder cannot be obtained, those poisoned people in the city will have to wait to die."

The deputy commander was stunned for a moment, and then his face became extremely ugly: "These insidious beast slaves! Then the cannons we worked so hard to make are just decorations?"

Yan Zui hooked the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Order Huo to command the soldiers to mount bayonets and be ready to fight hand-to-hand with beast slaves at any time."

"Yes." Although the city lord's order was short, the danger hidden behind it gave him a chill.

Without artillery and landmines, the two major killers, bows and arrows are almost useless, and fire commanders and hand-to-hand combat have become the last line of defense.

On the distant river bank, the thick and continuous black snake shadow is already clearly visible. A large number of Teng Snake orcs landed from the water, and the Huo Commander behind Yan Zui could almost see the enemy's bloody mouth open, hissing and spitting out forks. Nobuko.

When I think of being bitten, I will become like those snake slaves in the city who put on barbed wire hoods. The soldiers are all uneasy, and the tension and fear can't be restrained. .

"Do not be afraid."

Right in front of the soldiers, the city lord turned around at some point, and Shen Qingze personally made him a spear inlaid with dragon scale jade, the tip of the spear reflected a dazzling halo in the sunlight.

Yan Zui's long hair was flying, and his black cloak was fiercely fluttering behind him. In front of him, thousands of orcs came oppressively. Behind him was the silent and strong human fortress and the defenders who looked at death as home.

He is like a thick stroke of ink, straddling this dangerous giant painting, with an expression of indifference, solemn as an abyss.

"My city lord is in front of you." Yan Zui raised the tip of his gun high, pointing at the menacing enemy: "Yuanliu City will win!"

The soldiers took a deep breath, the veins under their skin bulged, their faces were red, and their shouts resounded through the sky: "Yuanliu City must win!"

※※※

The Tengshe orc's vanguard finally entered the firing range of the fire commander at this moment.

A thousand fire commanders are divided into two rows. Since the rifle guns were equipped, both the range and the accuracy of bullet aiming have been greatly improved. It is no longer necessary to arrange them in a dense formation as before, relying on density to increase lethality.

300 meters, 200 meters...

The order to shoot was not issued, no one dared to fire, and the battlefield fell into a strange silence.

Seeing the soldiers of Abyssal City standing in place like frightened statues waiting to die, the Teng Snake orcs grew in momentum, and the Teng Snake patriarch was also full of contempt for the human race.

In several raids on the human race, the Teng Snake clan has never been defeated, not to mention the fact that they have sent their clansmen to release the snake venom first.

The head of the Tengshe clan believed that there must be chaos inside Yuanliu City at this time. As long as the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of him were eliminated, Yuanliu City would completely become an undefended existence, allowing the Tengshe clan to get whatever they want!

The facts seemed to verify the guess of the Teng Snake patriarch. The strange-looking tubular iron bumps installed on the city wall seemed to be just decorations, and nothing happened until the orc army approached the city.

The rain of arrows was even more painless, and in the end even the archers stopped shooting arrows.

The head of the Tengshe clan sneered, and he didn't know why the idiot orc tribe who lost to these human races killed two witch worshipers in a row. Alarmism.

Humans cannot be compared with orcs at all.

The patriarch waved his hand and ordered an all-out attack!

The sound of fighting boiled over at this instant, and the orc vanguard suddenly accelerated, rushing towards Yuanliu City's formation!

The deputy commander clenched the gun in his hand and hissed at the top of his lungs: "Fire commander fire!"

"Bang bang bang-"

In the rising gray-white gunpowder smoke, the bullets, which were so fast that they could not be seen by the naked eye, instantly sank into the bodies of each orc.

The rapidly rotating bullets easily pierced through the solid scales of the orcs, some were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood, smashing the meridian tissue into a paste, some directly penetrated the flesh and blood, and even penetrated into the body of the enemy behind it.

The Tengsnake orcs were stunned by the unprecedented attack. They were still some distance away from the human soldiers, and they obviously didn't see any arrows, swords or other weapons. Why did their companions fall into a pool of blood for no reason? !

On the battlefield, the invisible and silent killing machine finally began to gradually show its fangs.

The attacking Tengshe orcs died one after another, and fell under the gun barrels of Yuanliu City's fire commander. Most of them were rough and thick, and as long as a bullet didn't hit a vital point, they would not die immediately.

But the pain caused by Huotong was far greater than its real lethality. Countless Tengzi orcs fell to the ground and wailed, their voices stimulating the eardrums of their companions, and the panic of not seeing the murder weapon spread in the orc army.

Tengshe orcs would never have imagined that all this was just the beginning.

After giving the enemy a head-on blow, Yan Zui gave an order, and the brigade of fire commanders and light cavalry began to advance, and the fire commanders covered the light cavalry across the battlefield.

They are equipped with micro-poisons that are smeared with a strong drug, which is not fatal when penetrated into the enemy's body, but it can make the orc's limbs weak and temporarily lose its combat effectiveness.

On the battlefield where danger is everywhere, capturing the enemy alive is far more difficult and thrilling than killing the enemy.

In order to obtain the snake gall to treat the poisoned person, Yan Zui had to make a bad move, which also gave the enemy a chance to fight back.

After the enemy fought hand-to-hand with the defenders, the entire battlefield has fallen into a canine-toothed state of anxiety.

Yan Zui held a long spear in his hand, lowered his body on the back of the fiery horse, and walked slowly on the edge of the battlefield.

He was searching for the positions of Tengshe Worship Witch and the patriarch, and only by pulling out these two nails with his own hands could Abyssal City win the real victory.

After a while, his eyes sharpened - he found it!

Tengshe Worshiper's ability is healing, and at the moment he is going all out to apply a healing aura to all the orcs around him.

On the battlefield, the healing technique is the most against the sky, which means that one's own side is invincible, always has a steady stream of soldiers, and is not afraid of damage at all.

As long as the Teng Snake Sacrificial Witch himself does not die, the Teng Snake orcs will never be extinct.

Yan Zui's eyes were like knives, and he fixed his eyes on the Teng Snake Sacrifice Witch surrounded by many orcs, raised his whip and rode his horse, the fire neighed, and led his master into the enemy army resolutely!

The long spear inlaid with dragon scale jade already possessed enchanting properties, and it turned into a life-harvesting scythe in Yan Zui's hands. Wherever it passed, red blood splashed everywhere, falling on his pitch-black cloak, his long hair, and even his face.

Li Huo's footsteps did not stop at all, and the wounds on it and Yan Zui's body were getting more and more.

The glaring blood color merged with the raging fire, like a raging flame of Shura, following Yan Zui's mad rush, it burned all the way to Tengshe Jisha's side——

"kill him!"

"Protect Mr. Witch Ji!"

The countless noisy shouts of killing almost drowned people, and the witch priest couldn't move during the operation. This was Yan Zui's only chance!

He raised his spear high, and the blood-stained tip of the spear overflowed with cold light, and the strong wind brought by it cut and scraped on the solid scales of the beasts, leaving countless deep gashes.

"Pfft-"

The tip of the spear pierced the Tengshe Witch's chest.

Almost at the same time, the tails of Teng Snake orcs coming in surged around the hooves of the fire horses, and their sharp snake teeth bit Yan Zui's calf fiercely through the military uniform, with the posture of dying together!

"go to hell!!"

The Tengshe patriarch saw that the witch was shot through the chest, and his eyes were about to burst. Its scattered black hair stood on end, twisting and growing, and finally turned into more than ten black snakes, rushing towards him from behind Yan Zui Bite it!

"Resist the halo."

A voice so soft that it was almost inaudible sounded behind everyone.

Tengshe patriarch seemed to be hit suddenly by an irresistible force, and his whole body flew out!

Not only it, but all the orcs around Yan Zui who tried to attack him were thrown away by the halo of resistance, and they fell heavily ten meters away like arhats, kicking up countless gravel, mud and choking smoke.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Zui, who was under siege, suddenly cleared the scene!

In a radius of ten meters, only Yan Zui was left alone. He held his gun upside down, put one hand on the back of the fiery horse, and turned his head in disbelief——

He is dazzled?Or miss you so much that you have hallucinations?

In the backlight, two huge wings spread out, calmly and gently protecting Yan Zui like a shield.

The wings stretched out gracefully from the back of the sinking light, and the silver-white streamers surrounded the whole body, and the translucent white feathers fluttered slightly. They were the warmest arms and the strongest backing in the world.

Shen Qingze, who was in a flying state, lightly landed in front of Yan Zui, his quiet eyes looked all the way down from the other's surprised face, and finally froze on the calf that was slowly oozing blood.

Shen Qingze slowly narrowed her eyes, her deep black pupils were gradually ignited by some kind of anger, that was an expression Yan Zui had never seen before.

Yan Zui opened his mouth subconsciously, and the moment his eyes met, the turbulent emotion followed the other's eyes, burned straight into the bottom of his heart, and overflowed again.

"Qize..."
