Knight Brown was trembling all over. He couldn't even stand up and could only hold on to the wall to remain stiff.
Through the window of the fortress, he could see the walls made up of swarms of insects. The artillery fire falling on them was like small grains of sand thrown into a lake, which only caused a few ripples but could not shake their existence.
Brown's efforts, which were like those of a mayfly trying to shake a tree, made him lose hope for the future. He even began to think that if the insect swarm reached the fortress and it could no longer be defended, he would immediately commit suicide with the sword in his hand to reduce the pain. However, Brown was a little hesitant. Death was still too painful, and he did not dare to end his life.
The knights around him were also trembling with fear and clenching their teeth, fearing that if they lost their temper, they would become incontinent on the spot and collapse to the ground.
"I can't defeat them, we will all die..."
Brown muttered in a low voice, his teeth chattering and his words unclear.
Just then, he saw a light.
The light was like the sun reappearing on the earth, dispelling all darkness, shining in from the windows of the fortress, making their armor and weapons shine.
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
Both the players and the knights were extremely confused at this time and didn't know what was going on.
Could it be that the gods appeared and brought down divine punishment to defeat the monster?
Brown suddenly felt the tension in his body disappear a lot. He walked to the window and looked into the distance.
I saw a ray of light piercing the darkness.
The light was thick, but still too thin compared to the insect swarm. It rushed straight into the center of this wave of insect swarm and seemed to have no effect at all.
However, the next second, a huge wave surged in the insect tide.
With the location where the light shines as the center, huge waves continue to grow, overturning the insect swarms within a range that is several times the thickness of the light.
Just like pouring a small cup of water into a hot oil pan, the swarm of insects began to boil.
The insect swarm closest to the light evaporated directly, without even a trace of powder left.
Those that were a little closer would burn and melt due to the heat and turn into ashes.
Further away, the shock wave caused them to lose their strength, and they were quickly smashed and crushed by their counterparts behind them.
If you could look down at the earth at this moment, you would be able to see that a path had been forcibly opened up in the impenetrable Wall of Sighs.
Like Moses parting the sea, a huge gap appeared in the wall that was indestructible, unbreakable, and eternally standing.
Seeing this scene, all the players and soldiers suddenly woke up as if they were hit on the head by a sledgehammer.
Yes, it’s not time to give up yet.
If you give up before you even start fighting, all your efforts will be wasted.
Rather than succumb to these monsters, it is better to fight them to the last moment and die standing.
The next round of shelling was soon ready, but an order made the players stop shooting.
"Delay for one minute? But this monster is almost here!"
Old Eggplant listened to Lu Ban's order in confusion. He was very anxious. Although everyone's emotions were aroused by Trist's earth-shattering shot, the number of the Zerg was still vast. Even if all the shells were poured over, it might not be possible to damage even one tenth of the wall. As the Zerg approached, the fear in people's hearts would grow a lot.
What is the purpose of Lu Ban’s order?
Despite his endless doubts, Old Eggplant still obeyed the order.
He glanced at the time. It had only been an hour since he logged into the game in the Kingdom of Darkness, and only twenty minutes in reality, but it felt like half a day had passed.
The sweat did not decrease at all in the cold wind. Old Eggplant counted silently in his heart and would soon reach his limit.
He could even see the appearance of those insects clearly. Those twisted monsters were so close to him that it seemed as if they would pounce on them and devour their flesh and blood at the next moment.
His heart was beating at its limit and Old Eggplant was fully focused, waiting for that moment.
In fact, he didn't have too many expectations in his heart. The previous shot instantly killed the iron lizard in the Black Forest. That scene was something Old Eggplant would never forget in his life. But now, even though this attack was devastating, it failed to let people see the dawn of victory.
Killed a bunch of bugs, and there are still more bugs.
The opened crack was filled up in an instant, as if nothing had happened.
Even the master of this demonic tide has not appeared, and no one knows what kind of monster the leader of this [Thousand Legs] is.
At this moment, those watching the live broadcast were holding their breath, not knowing what would happen next.
In this age without torches and without the sacrifice of mages, facing such a vast sea of insects, there is no possibility of any turnaround.
Zheng Li looked at the screen seriously. Although his heartbeat was not as intense as that of the players in the game, he still held his breath.
He saw that just as the bugs were coming towards him and were about to tear everything apart, daybreak had arrived.
It was not the fleeting flash of light just now, but the real sunlight.
The light was dazzling and blazing, sweeping over everything.
The sunlight is strong and everything is visible.
In an instant, the seemingly indestructible high wall, the seemingly insurmountable barrier, those hideous insects were burned and roasted in the sun, and flames rose from their bodies and spread to the insect swarm in a blink of an eye.
How could the brilliance of the deep red blood moon compete with that of the blazing sun?
"fire!"
Just then, the agreed time arrived, and Old Eggplant subconsciously roared in an excited voice. The roar of artillery fire followed, and his voice trembled, but it was not because of fear, but excitement.
The shells fell into the swarm of insects that were scattered by the fierce sunlight, and exploded one by one, making the flames even more intense.
Suddenly, a wall of fire stretching for dozens of kilometers appeared above the Black Forest.
On the observation tower above the fortress, Lu Ban placed the radio on the table. The gear position stayed on "Scorching Heat". This scorching sun was enough to cause a land to suffer a ten-year drought, but at this moment, it became the thing that people dreamed of, called hope.
Brown shed tears and shouted loudly to motivate himself. Artillery fire continued to burst out at the swarm of insects that were blocked by the sunlight, and even stopped their forward momentum.
Far away from the town of Dusk, the demon tide was a little frightened by the sun appearing from afar and advanced slowly.
Although those bugs were still rampant and killing in other places throughout the Kingdom of Darkness, at this moment, here, humans did gain a momentary advantage.
"This lasted for three days..."
Zheng Li had seen "The Demonic Tide" and naturally knew that the sunshine could last for a long time, so he immediately felt relieved.
However, Zheng Li soon discovered something was wrong.
The movements of those bugs are very strange.
