Chapter 204 War Beast
"Now a large number of bat-winged nests have also been found in the land commander's place. In addition to this, a new hell creature has also been found." At the daily regular meeting, Sun Bo's speech brought new information.
"New hell creature, what is it?" Leng Feng's face was solemn, and there was more and more bad news, which made him feel more and more depressed as a commander.
"This is a bipedal giant beast..." Sun Bo was saying that suddenly the conference room was opened, and a captain of Cangyue stood outside the door.
"Legion commander, the 13th patrol sent emergency information!"
Of course, Ye Liu did not dare to despise the emergency information. He immediately ended the meeting and walked out of the headquarters fortress of the Fourth Army under the leadership of the captain.
"What is this?" Whether it was Ye Liu, Leng Feng, Sun Bo, or A Jiang, they were shocked when they first saw the big man under Feishi City.
Because it has been dragged over a long distance, one side of the body has been ground into rotten meat, but this does not affect the shock that this dead large creature brings to human beings.
"I think this is a war beast." Sun Bo said. This is the first time he has seen this creature, but its appearance is completely in line with the description of Huanglong intelligence.
This war beast is not more than ten meters tall, with vertical arms, more than one meter long sharp claws, and a large basket on its back. According to the blood stains on it, there should have been some creatures that had squatted on it before. In the center of the basket is a thick black tube, a bit like an artillery. Only from the appearance, this creature should be the siege weapon of the hell demons, and they, who have suffered great losses under the tactics of human fortress, are also actively looking for ways to deal with it.
Ye Liu and others went from the hanging basket to the Flying Stone City bunker and observed the war beast more closely, "How was it discovered?" Ye Liu asked.
A centurion came out behind Ye Liu, who was the captain of the 13th patrol. "Legion commander, we found it seven kilometers west of Feishi City. At that time, there were dozens of little demons next to it. Later, we killed the little demons and fought two brothers to bring it back."
Ye Liu nodded, "Qiu Shan,"
As the deputy commander of the Cangyue Affiliated Mercenary Regiment, Wei Shi stayed in the stone furnace this time, and he led the Breaking Sky Mercenary Regiment to assist Cangyue. The former deputy commander of the Golden- scale mercenary regiment was promoted by the cold front, which is also a very outstanding contribution to the establishment of the sky.
"Mir, I'm here," originally had a meeting with Ye Liu, and then Qiu Shan, who had been following behind, immediately came out of the pile of people behind.
"Record a collective second-class merit to Chen Cheng and the 13th Patrol." The thirteenth patrol team is composed of broken members.
"Yes, regimental commander."
Ye Liu's second-class merit is an incentive measure within Cangyue. The league members who have obtained second-class merit not only have additional allowances per month, but also have priority for future promotion. Several people present on the 12th Patrol were overjoyed to hear the news.
"Thank you quickly." Qiu Shan saw that these bastards were happy there and didn't understand the rules at all, so he immediately reminded them in a low voice.
Ye Liu also heard it. He waved their hands so that they didn't have to be polite. Cangyue was not a gang, talking about the rules of the world. It seems that Qiushan is still not long after the vicissitudes of life. I haven't forgotten those old problems before.
The cold front took the lead out of the bunker and circled around the body of the war beast. "How about its defense ability?"
"The defense is average, but the health is very high, so we fought for a long time to take it," answered the captain of the 13th Patrol.
"Attack and movement."
"The attack is relatively ordinary and moves slowly, but the most threatening thing should be the gun in the frame upstairs. Both of our brothers were killed by one shot. Later, the archer shot off the little devil above and hit it much better."
The level of this war beast is 50. According to what I just said, it should be an elite monster. The people present can basically summarize the main points from the above words. Now there is another key question that has no answer, that is, how much damage the war beast can cause to the fortress of the current Flying Stone City.
The demons already have bat-winged pointed-tailed birds that can fight in air, so that humans have to build more fortresses to fight against. Now the emergence of war beasts will seriously test the reliability of the fortress.
Ye Liu and Leng Feng looked at each other and said, "It seems that we are going to catch one to see how strong this thing is."
"Ye, and hurry up. It's only a few days before the next demons attack." If the demons are still punctual, there is less than a week, the day when the fifth demon attack begins, and humans don't have much time to prepare.
After visiting the war beast, the Fourth Army quickly formulated a "pipe" plan, aiming to capture the war beast alive and verify the combat ability of this creature. According to the previous 13 patrols, the war beast is not very powerful, but considering the large number of little demons around and the inability to kill these two reasons, A total of five groups of 600 people were sent to look for war beasts around the Flying Stone City.
120 people in each group are composed of two brigades, Sun Bo with one group, Chen Zhu with one group, Qiu Shan with one group, and Ye Liu and A Jiang also led one group respectively.
Two days after the origin, 17 kilometers east of Feishi City, they received a report from the Fourth Legion patrol. Ye Liu and others immediately set out and defeated the three wandering demons halfway, and finally found the figure of the war beast.
"It's really big," Lian Xingyue, who saw the war beast for the first time, sighed. This is the third time Ye Liu has seen a live war beast in the past two days, so he is much calmer. Now he is concerned about how to catch this big man alive. One of the previous two actions, because he went too deep into the demon area, and the battle led to a big Ye Liu was forced to retreat halfway. The other time, because of the desperate struggle of the war beast, Ye Liu could not subdue this guy. As a result, the war beast finally bled to death.
Other groups have also found several war beasts, but they have also failed to capture them. After careful discussion, the Fourth Army has formulated a new capture method. Ye Liu hopes that he can succeed this time.
With the experience of the first two times, Ye Liu was much more careful this time. First, he sent a team as bait to lure the war beast and dozens of little demons next to it back hundreds of meters to avoid the recurrence of the last time.
When the little devil and the war beast entered the ambush circle that Ye Liu could not enter, they were immediately surrounded by 120 people of the Fourth Legion. Lian Xingyue and Ye Liu's earth spirit knights took the lead in killing the center of the little demons, the location of the war beast.
The artillery on the back rail of the war beast is indeed powerful. More than 30 levels of players, not such a shield swordsman or knight with high defense and life, are all killed in one shot. In order to ensure unnecessary sacrifices and disrupt the formation of the little demons, even Xingyue's charge Very necessary.
After ten minutes of fighting, the little demons around the war beasts were lost, and they only faced the attack of the Fourth Legion's arrest team. The five little demons on its back basket also died next to the fort.
Ye Liu's plan is to beat his health to less than one-th, and then rely on the rule that he can't move in a seriously injured state to transport this guy back. After that, when he recovers, just find a fortress to shoot twice.
The plan is good, but there is something wrong in the actual implementation process. It didn't take long for the war beast to be seriously injured and lie on the ground and unable to move. The next step is to catch the pig and push it to a large board, and then be dragged away by the horse.
The problem is that the weight of this big guy with nearly ten trees tall exceeded Ye Liu's statistics. Everyone in the arrest team rushed up, and even the mages and priests came up to help, but they still couldn't push it. After a long time, Ye Liu had to admit defeat and sent people back to Feishi City to find support. Finally, he was in the cooperation of 300 high-power soldiers sent by the cold front. With the help of this, this thing rolled on the board and was slowly pulled back to Feishi City.
The next day. The results of the Fourth Army's experiment on the damage ability of war beasts.
"It's a big trouble this time." Ye Liu looked at the big pit blown out by the war beast cannon on the one-meter-thick bluestone plate, which was 15 centimeters deep.
This result is terrible. Although at this speed, the war beast needs seven cannons to penetrate the outer wall of the bunker. Based on the number of demons, I'm afraid that few bunkers can hold on for three minutes in front of more than 100 war beasts.
"For good thing, this monster has a relatively close range, otherwise it really can't be fought," Chen Zhu who fired just now. There were still ten shells in the basket of the war beast, all of which were shot out by him, so that Ye Liu and others had a preliminary understanding of the war beast.
You can now find out the weakness of the artillery on the back of the war beast, with close range, slow firing speed and poor shooting accuracy. As a weapon, it is a great failure, but once this failed weapon is added by the number of demon terror, its power will immediately be terribly improved.
Ye Liu can't imagine whether the fourth army will kill quickly or his fortress will be demolished if the demons set up a large array of war beasts. The situation is worse than expected. Fortunately, it is not only the Fourth Legion that is suffering from this problem. The whole Sirius Alliance and even the commanders of the whole origin, as long as they know that the war beast spring is, they are very worried about how to face the new arms of demons.
There is no way out. In the face of the immediate emergency, players immediately mobilized their own experience and wisdom to solve the problem. Two days later, Huanglong proposed five guiding solutions to the problem of war beasts in a notice sent to the legions.
These days, with the emergence of bat-winged pointed-tailed birds, the mainland originally relied on carrier pigeons, and albatrosses and other creatures are more and more likely to lose their letters. Even falcons occasionally miss. For the sake of safety, the emperor dragon now sends four letters at a time. This time, Ajiang was the first to receive letters from the emperor dragon.
The Fourth Legion held an emergency meeting immediately after receiving the letter.
"First, thicken the thickness of the outer wall of the fortress," Ye Liu said. "Now we have begun to do it, but this treatment does not cure the root causes. It can only delay the time when the fortress is cherished. At the same time, it also seriously affects the attack ability of the personnel in the bunker. This measure can only be adopted on the bunkers in some key positions."
"Second, pretend to be 20 to 30 centimeters thick iron plates on the outer wall of the bunker. Now there are not so many blacksmiths in Feishi City. It is difficult to do this. It can only be installed in a special location of the fortress at a key location without universal applicability."
To make 20 to 30 cm thick iron plates, this is not the ability of ordinary blacksmiths. Even if blacksmiths below the expert level work hard, the quality is not as good as stones. If they are expert blacksmiths, even if the expert blacksmiths of all origin gather together, they can take advantage of the fourth army in a week. Half of the bird fortress is covered. This is more unreliable than the first one.
"Article 3, use the composite protection method." This noun Ye Liu is a little familiar, but it is a little strange to see it here. "Making temporary protective plates with boards, wet soil and gravel blocks can effectively resist the artillery attacks of war beasts."
This surprised Ye Liu very much, but this is the official document officially released by Huanglong. It should not fool people. You can try it immediately. I don't know how effective this is.
