Hearing the explosion in the distance, everyone in the last line of defense fell silent.
Through the telescope, Lin Qing could only watch as Li Chuang, who had no power to resist due to overdrawn strength, was torn into pieces by several first-level zombies.
Lin Qing put down the telescope in his hand with trembling hands, took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and spoke in a restrained and extremely calm tone.
"Everyone, concentrate on controlling the Panlong Formation. Li Chuang was sacrificed in exchange for a zombie swarm estimated to be around 150,000 to 200,000 in number.
The good news is that there are only about 650,000 zombies surrounding the capital. The bad news is that this is the last line of defense before the city wall."
Lin Qing didn't need to say much, everyone was already concentrating on controlling the operation of the Panlong Formation.
Within a few hundred meters outside the city wall, three hundred huge stone pillars six or seven meters high rose up. The soil in this area had been specially treated and was extremely soft.
One person controlled a stone pillar and slowly moved them, like a stone dragon slowly swimming, making the dwarf zombies that had just entered lose their way.
Although he was running towards the city wall, he was always going around in circles and could not make any progress!
This is the last line of defense before the capital of Ordos, the Panlong Formation!
Because of their light bodies, the dwarf zombies did not fall into the quicksand at the first time, but they soon found that they were slowly sinking, so they quickly climbed up the nearby stone pillars, jumping forward on the stone pillars like nimble monkeys.
From this perspective, it seems that the danger of quicksand has been avoided, but how could the power of the Panlong Formation be limited to this?
When the evolver in the rear observed that a dwarf zombie jumped to the stone pillar under his control, he instantly launched an earth element attack attached to the stone pillar.
The dwarf zombies who did not dodge the spikes shot into the air. Those who did not dodge were torn into a pile of scattered rotten meat. Those who managed to escape only had their death delayed. They instantly fell heavily into the quicksand and were swallowed up by the quicksand on the ground without any resistance.
In this way, these hundreds of dwarf zombies used for testing all died when the three hundred stone pillars of the Panlong Formation rose up, and none of them survived.
Zhang Mu and Ha Chimu stood on the city wall, looking at the Panlong Formation three hundred meters away with solemn expressions.
Because he didn't know about the defense mechanism set up in the capital in advance, he was a little puzzled. He looked at Hachimu and asked, "Although our wall is the main attack side of the enemy, are three hundred stone pillars enough? I feel that its effect should be similar to the sandstorm we encountered in the wilderness, preventing the enemy from moving forward.
But, are there only 300 of them enough? The sea of zombies has stopped outside this Panlong formation. If they gather together and rush in, I don’t think they can hold out for long.”
Ha Chimu only knew a little about the Panlong Formation. After thinking for a while, he answered Zhang Mu, "I only know that the biggest function of this Panlong Formation is to control the speed of zombies. At this time, calling out the evolvers with long-range attacks to launch a bombing is the meaning of its existence.
In fact, I also think that it can't hold out for long, but you see, there are already 50,000 evolvers with awakened long-range attack abilities gathered outside the city, waiting for the sea of zombies to enter.
The sea of zombies now has lost at least 30% due to the first two lines of defense, and it can be clearly seen that an area has been left empty, and this is also the reason why it is being integrated now.
As long as this Panlong formation can withstand three rounds of our bombardment, it will at least shrink by half. By then, the number will be the same. Do we still have to be afraid of these brainless things? "
Zhang Mu did not speak, and continued to observe the movements in the Panlong Formation. Now, 30,000 evolvers had stood on this side of the Panlong Formation, standing together with the Canglang Cavalry armed with bows and crossbows and their reserve troops.
The energy fluctuations and types in this area are extremely chaotic, just waiting for the sea of zombies to move in.
The sea of zombies moved and seemed to have assembled, but the enemy was cunning and did not let the army rush in all at once. Instead, he released 50,000 zombies to attack first.
It can be clearly seen that these 50,000 zombies were carefully selected. Most of them were ordinary zombies. There were as many as 5,000 agile zombies of normal size. The executioner with astonishing size was also among this wave of vanguard teams.
Zhang Mu recognized the executioner at a glance, and he immediately lost confidence in the defense of the Panlong Formation.
The Panlong Pillar was only six or seven meters tall, but the executioner was five meters tall, and the meteor hammer in his hand was incredibly heavy.
It was fused with some special metal, and it left two heavy marks when dragged on the ground.
After receiving the order, the vanguard troops rushed into the Panlong Formation without hesitation, while the remaining 600,000 zombies remained motionless, as if they had a pair of eyes sensing the complex situation inside the Panlong Formation.
Sure enough, quicksand is deadly to these extremely heavy zombies. Before they have taken a step of ten meters, most of the zombies' ankles have been deeply sunk into the quicksand. The zombies do not know that they cannot struggle in quicksand. The deeper they sink, the more they struggle, and the more they struggle, the deeper they sink.
The executioner, who was far overweight, was now completely helpless. His weight, which could have left a mark on normal ground, made his calf sink into his leg as soon as he stepped on the quicksand.
The trapped executioners began to roar and swung the meteor hammers in their hands, smashing them at the Panlong Pillar that had been swaying in front of them.
With a heavy blow, a hole was smashed in the Panlong Pillar closest to them. However, the Panlong Pillars were moving, and when this one was damaged, it was quickly moved to a distant place and replaced by other Panlong Pillars.
Under the control of the earth-type evolver, quicksand crawled up from the bottom of the damaged Panlong Pillar, repairing the gap in the pillar. After a while, it was as good as new again.
The only ones who successfully broke through the control of the quicksand were the second-level agile zombies with light bodies and sufficient explosive power. The speed at which the Panlong Pillar moved the quicksand could not keep up with their ghostly figures. Although their directions were constantly changing, they were getting closer and closer to the city walls.
There is a strong smell of people here!
Although they were under control, they were zombies by nature. When they smelled the strong human scent of 30,000 people gathered outside Panlong Pillar, the speed of thousands of agile zombies suddenly exploded again.
But what they never expected was that when they were only a hundred meters away from the exit, what greeted them was an overwhelming energy bombardment that covered every angle.
Thousands of agile zombies, all killed!
The remaining 40,000-odd ordinary zombies and executioners had at least half of their bodies submerged in the quicksand, roaring unwillingly.
The Panlong Pillar at that location just now was also indiscriminately shattered into pieces, but with the backflow and condensation of the quicksand, it didn't take long for it to be intact again!
