Chapter 727 The First World 27
The name of this formation is "Spatial Hysteresis".
Invisible ripples descended within the formation, and the flying beasts seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, their speed dropping sharply.
The next second, the blue light of the ion rapid-fire cannon flashed, and the birds exploded into a bloody rain in the air.
The flying spirit beasts that we had been worried about were defeated one by one by this combined formation.
Although some of them escaped, it was not a big problem. Most of them flew to the wild. Occasionally, a few of them panicked and had no choice but to go somewhere. The city was naturally prepared.
When the spirit beast crossed the first line of defense, the second line of defense moved instantly.
"Earth wall, rise!"
The earth ability users united and a three-meter-high earth wall rose up. The gold ability users immediately covered the wall with dense golden spikes. In an instant, all the spirit beasts that jumped over the wall of fire were pierced into blood gourds.
In the underground safe zone, everyone was watching the live broadcast of the battle outside, their hearts rising and falling with the thrill of the battle.
"Dad, I want to go too!" The seventeen-year-old boy clenched his fists and looked at the battle scene in front of him with great excitement.
His father's big hand patted his head twice, his voice hoarse from nervousness: "Practice first. Once you have mastered your skills, next year when you become an adult, I will allow you to go on missions in the secret realm."
An old lady sitting on a stool in the front row was leaning on a bamboo stick, and the tip of the stick made a loud thumping sound on the ground.
"Why can't we old folks go up? Huh? Such a young kid, just now he almost got slapped in the face by that wolf beast.
If it weren’t for the timely support from the side, this child would have been ruined…”
Just when the old lady was still worried about the little soldier, something even more thrilling happened.
On the screen, the wall of fire collapsed and the beasts stepped out into the fire.
The camera cuts to a close-up - a fire warrior is knocked back by the split-horn rhino, but he spit blood and forms a seal in the air: "Red Star Flowing Mark".
In an instant, the flame in the young man's hand turned into magma, burning off most of the skin on the split-horn rhino.
The split-horn rhino screamed in pain and shook its head hard, immediately throwing the little soldier on its head away.
The warrior somersaulted several times in the air to steady himself, staggered when he landed, took out a pill from his waist and swallowed it, his complexion immediately looking much better.
He roared hoarsely, "Add two more people to the second line of defense."
Then he rushed into the battlefield again and continued the battle that had not yet ended.
Because of the thrilling experience just now, everyone in the safe zone even slowed down their breathing.
Now seeing that the boy was fine and full of energy again, thunderous applause broke out and many people were moved to tears.
"Good boy, good job."
"This child lived with his parents when he was in junior high school. He even transferred to our Dongyang City for a while. We were neighbors at that time."
"I can't stand it anymore. I want to go out and kill these spirit beasts!"
…
Everyone in the underground safe zone was so excited, and the soldiers and civilian garrisons guarding the city walls were even more anxious. They wished that a spirit beast would appear in front of them right now so that they could go up and help.
"Brothers, if you don't kill a spirit beast today, don't even call yourself a member of the 'Flying Eagle Squad' when you go back!"
The captain heaved the broadsword onto his shoulder, and the back of the sword flashed with rune light.
This captain was quite good at learning talismans. As soon as the country announced the talisman cultivation method, he succeeded on the first try. He even stuck the talisman directly on his sword to increase his attack power without any instruction.
"Don't worry, I'm already eager to try out my new move, Flowing Fire Eagle! I really want to try it out right away."
The boy with fire abilities licked his lips, and flames shot up from his palms. He was practicing fine control of the flames.
The other team members were not idle either. They were all in the positions assigned to their teams, practicing their abilities while keeping vigilant of their surroundings.
On the other side of the city wall, there was another small team huddled together, staring at the flames and magic trails rising into the sky a thousand meters away, their eyes almost on fire.
At this moment, their Captain Gao stopped Captain Zhao, who was responsible for the security of Dongyang City.
"Captain, it's a waste of time for us to stay here. Why don't we send our team to the battlefield to provide support?
Look, the fighting on the front line is so thrilling. One more person means one more strength.
If we can go up, the pressure on the soldiers will be reduced and the chance of injury will be reduced."
The four team members behind him immediately nodded rapidly, their faces full of urgency to say "We want to fight."
In fact, they were only one thousand meters away from the real battlefield.
Lightning, fireballs, ion cannons and other attacks roared, shaking the bricks of the city wall slightly.
But even though the distance was so close, not even a hair of the spirit beast could reach them.
Captain Zhao understood their thoughts. These civilian forces were just watching the fierce fighting in front, while he could only watch without any use, and he became anxious.
However, it was not that Captain Zhao looked down on these civilian forces who had never actually fought against spiritual beasts. Even these soldiers were affected and almost lost their legs when they faced spiritual beasts for the first time.
Spiritual beasts are naturally imposing and are generally large in size. The sense of oppression is completely different from what you see in front of the camera.
Battalion Commander Zhao glanced at them, raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat, and spoke in a low voice, but with the coldness that was unique to soldiers.
"Don't think about those unrealistic things. You are here to defend the city. This is a military order.
You should know what military orders are.
No matter what happens, you must stay here until the battle is over.
We can't let any spirit beast rush into the city right under our noses."
He raised his chin towards the distant fire and said, "The brothers on the front line are guarding the first line of defense, and we are the second.
Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities to kill spirit beasts. The battle has just begun. Don't be weak when the spirit beasts attack the city.
Everyone should adjust their status and check their equipment."
After saying that, Captain Zhao continued to move forward to check if there were any problems in other locations.
You are anxious, but I am more anxious than you.
My comrades were all killing spirit beasts on the battlefield, but I was unlucky and drew the lot to defend the city.
Now I can only watch from here. I will have less topics to talk about when I want to brag or gossip in the future. Who can I turn to for justice?
There is another key point that Captain Zhao didn't mention.
That is, the battle has indeed just begun, but there is no real danger for Dongyang City.
Only because the higher-ups had left a backup plan, Advisor Ning was currently in charge of the army.
The fighting in the beginning was so intense, but it was just training.
If the situation becomes extremely critical, the opponent can use a big move to kill most of the spirit beasts.
After the danger is over, the frontline troops will pretend to release a few spirit beasts here, so that these civilian teams who have never really faced spirit beasts can experience what pressure and the suffocating feeling of being pounced on by the giant steel beasts are.
This is also the unified order received by all troops responsible for guarding the secret realm.
