2064 A tragic victory (1)
Thank you readers!
Tang Zhen did not know how many arrows he had shot out. He only stopped his attacks when a strange sharp sound was transmitted into his ears. The monsters that were attacking the city retreated back into the ocean like the receding tide.
“The monster is retreating!”
A soldier beside him shouted loudly, and then a burst of cheers ca from the city wall, which could be heard from far away.
“We won, hahaha Yingluo.”
!!
The soldiers who were responsible for carrying the wooden boxes were also overjoyed and high-fived each other.
From their expressions and movents, it could be seen that they were happy from the bottom of their hearts. It was not easy to survive such a brutal battle to defend the city.
Every battle to defend the city could an that one would fall. To be able to live and see the enemy being beaten back was undoubtedly a happy thing.
The city wall, which was originally filled with a gloomy and depressing atmosphere, was now filled with many conversations. The soldiers might have done this on purpose to lighten the shadow of death.
Unfortunately, death was not really far away. It was just a temporary retreat, and no one knew when it would co again.
From Tang Zhen’s point of view, he could see that among the corpses that were piled up like a mountain below the city wall, not only were they monsters, but he could also see the remains of the city guards from ti to ti.
They didn’t have a chance to celebrate their victory. They just lay quietly in the middle of the monster corpses. Like the other monsters, no one wanted to take another look.
The soldiers were clear that looking at it too much would only make them bored. Maybe after a while, their bodies would also be lying there.
Inside the city wall behind him, there was a flat field, and the bodies of soldiers who had been seriously injured and could not be saved were neatly laid out.
Although they had won, as the defenders of the city, they had also paid a heavy price.
There was a large number of injured people beside them. They looked at the bodies on the ground in silence, their eyes blank and dazed.
He was covered in blood and did not move at all. He looked no different from a corpse.
They also knew that the war was far from over. It would not be long before the monsters of the sea returned.
They were endless, and they had been killing for countless years, but there was still no sign of their number decreasing.
Over the long years, countless believers had laid to rest here. It was not an exaggeration to say that the Great Wall was built of flesh and blood.
If the city wall was really built with corpses, it might be even taller than the current city wall. If you don’t believe it, look at the sea in the distance. It had long been dyed red by the Blood River, red and greasy.
The only thing to be glad about was that countless believers had been summoned here, and there were believers who had obtained passes arriving here at all tis.
Otherwise, after a few dozen battles, the city guards would be exhausted, and the sea monsters would charge in and destroy the temple.
If such a thing really happened, then whether it was faith or life, they would all disappear.
Therefore, no matter how brutal the battle was, the believers would never retreat. Instead, they would defend with their lives.
Tang Zhen, who had discovered all of this, not only had so doubts in his heart, but he also wondered if the so called trial really existed.
The purpose of summoning the believers here might be to deal with the sea monsters and use them as cannon fodder.
Of course, it was just a suspicion. He didn’t have enough evidence to prove whether his guess was correct.
He would probably be able to obtain more information after reaching the temple and determine the truth.
In fact, it didn’t matter even if he didn’t know. He just needed to retrieve his mory and figure out why he was here.
As for what the God who had disappeared was doing, it made no difference to Tang Zhen whether he knew or not.
As Tang Zhen thought up to this point, he turned around and handed the rune battle bow to the soldier beside him. Although this weapon was easy to use, it did not belong to him.
From the soldier’s previous tone, he could be sure that this rune battle bow was of great value. Since that was the case, Tang Zhen would not snatch it from soone else.
If he wanted such a weapon, he could make it himself, and the power would only be higher.
Putting aside the refining technique, just the runic magic circle on the battle bow alone was several levels lower than Tang Zhen’s technique. Its power was naturally incomparable.
After all, such a weapon would only be able to display its true might in the hands of Tang Zhen. If it were to land in the hands of an ordinary person, it would at most be a decoration and decoration.
however, the soldiers did not have such a right. even the commander on the city wall could not make this decision.
If Tang Zhen really wanted it, he could use his battle rits to exchange for it. Only in that situation would he be able to convince everyone.
switch to defense, clean up the battlefield, and repair the steam ballista at the sa ti. Hurry up!
The officer on the high platform gave the order once again. At the sa ti, he glanced at Tang Zhen and nodded to him.
Tang Zhen followed those soldiers and walked down the city wall along the steps before arriving near the barracks.
Many soldiers walked to the sink and poured water down their heads to wash off the blood and residue on their bodies.
There were also so soldiers who were so exhausted that they fell asleep imdiately after returning to their barracks.
Most of the soldiers were sitting in their chairs, cleaning and bandaging their wounds while waiting for their al.
Not far from the barracks, there were long iron troughs, and cooks were carrying fresh at out and throwing it into the iron nest to cook.
The seasoning was a bunch of things that looked like weeds. After a simple washing, it exuded a strong sll.
Tang Zhen squinted his eyes and observed for a mont. He discovered that the color and lines of the fresh at were sowhat familiar. It seed that there were a lot of them below the city wall.
What is this? is it the at of a monster? ”
After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, an old soldier beside him imdiately replied,”This is indeed the flesh of a monster. Don’t feel disgusted, this thing is actually very delicious.
In the beginning, no one knew that the sea monster’s at could be eaten. The corpses were either directly cremated or thrown back into the sea.
It wasn’t until one ti when the battle was so intense that the starving soldiers grabbed the burnt body of the sea monster and ate it that they realized how delicious the at of the sea monster was.
After the man’s incident, sea monster at beca one of the most popular foods. It was delicious and could replenish one’s strength.
It was a pity that it was best to eat it while it was still fresh, and it couldn’t be stored, otherwise, he could enjoy the delicious Monster at every day …
So if you want to eat the sea monster at, you have to fight the sea monster here first, or you won’t be able to eat it even if you want to.”
When the old soldier said this, everyone around him burst into laughter.
...
To them, being able to enjoy the sea monster’s at after killing the sea monster’s attack was definitely a very satisfying thing.
Upon hearing the old soldier’s explanation, Tang Zhen lightly nodded his head and didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it.
The killing between different races was often a matter of life and death. After killing the enemy, devouring their flesh and blood was also a rather common thing.
If there was a chance, the sea monsters would not let the soldiers ‘corpses go, either. They would also eat them as food.
In fact, this was actually better. The monster’s body could be used more effectively, instead of being buried and thrown away as a pile of rotten at.
Once the plague broke out, it would make things worse, and the threat level was not much less than the monsters in the sea.
After Tang Zhen thought for a mont, he asked the old soldier,”How often do these sea monsters attack? if I want to earn more battle rits, is there any other way?”
Tang Zhen did not wish to waste too much ti. Therefore, he urgently wanted to obtain more rit points. Only then would he be able to exchange for his own mory fragnts.
Before he understood the specific situation, he would act according to the rules. When he seized the opportunity, he would adapt to the situation.
Even with his mory loss, his goal had not changed, and that was to seize the opportunity to improve his strength and make himself stronger.
