"Captain, what's wrong with you? This Chu Fan is also named Chu. You don't know him, do you?" A soldier asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Chu Lei quickly came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Actually, this Chu Fan is my cousin!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, all the soldiers laughed.
"Captain didn't expect that you also learned to joke."
"Yes, Captain, how about you introduce your cousin to us so that we can benefit from it!" Another soldier joked.
"Okay! I'll introduce my cousin to you when I get the chance!" Chu Lei nodded matter-of-factly, and then stuffed the Shenglong Book back into the soldier's arms: "I've been patrolling all night, and I'm sleepy. Let’s go rest first!”
Lying on the bed and closing his eyes, Chu Lei couldn't sleep for a long time even though he was very tired. Although he thought it was ridiculous, he was sure that the one hundred on the Shenglong list was his unlucky cousin Chu Fan. .
He remembered that when he left Fenghua Town to join the army, Chu Fan was still a little boy at the third level of body tempering. He also learned from the letter home sent by his father that when he grew up, Chu Fan became a dandy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. His cultivation level has only reached the seventh level of body tempering.
How come in just a few months, the other party has reached the early stage of Talisman Gathering
At this moment, he suddenly realized that it seemed that his father had not sent a letter home in the past two months. You should know that normally, his father would write a letter home and send it home every month.
Could it be that something happened to the Chu family
Thinking of this, he had the urge to go back to Fenghua Town and take a look.
Because the border town may be attacked by the Zerg at any time, the soldiers in the border town cannot leave at will. Unlike the soldiers in other cities, they have half a month of family leave every year.
He has served in the border town for more than two years. As long as he completes three years, he can apply for transfer to another place.
As he thought about it, his consciousness became more and more confused.
Faintly, he heard a rapid drumbeat.
At the same time, a slightly panicked voice sounded in my ears: "Captain, it's not good, the Zerg is attacking in large numbers!"
A little less than half an hour later.
Chu Lei stood on the city wall with red eyes, looking at the densely packed Zerg army below that could not be seen at the end. His scalp couldn't help but feel numb. The scale of the Zerg army's invasion this time exceeded any previous one.
For a moment, a thought came to his mind: "Can it be defended?"
There are only five thousand soldiers in the border city. The ordinary warriors have the cultivation level of divine power, and the commander of the army, Ji Feng, is a Yangshen warrior.
On the Zerg side, most of the Zerg soldiers only have the strength of the third and fourth levels of body tempering, but their numbers are too many, at least over 50 million.
Fifty million versus five thousand, the difference in number reached ten thousand times.
As the saying goes, if the ants kill the elephant, even if the 50 million Zerg army stands there and is killed by 5,000 soldiers, it will not be able to kill them all even if they are weak. What's more, the Zerg army will not stand and let them kill them.
So not only Chu Lei, but also most of the soldiers had this idea.
"Buzz buzz!"
At this moment, a deafening sound came. The soldiers on the city wall subconsciously looked towards the sky and saw a huge moving black cloud approaching the border town at an extremely fast speed.
"It's a flying beetle!"
Some soldiers exclaimed.
Ordinary flying beetles are only about the size of a fist and not very strong. They are only at the third level of body tempering. However, they contain a highly corrosive liquid in their bodies. Once they die, the liquid in their bodies will explode.
Even the city walls can't stop the erosion of that liquid, so the best way to deal with flying beetles is to shoot them with bows and arrows and prevent them from approaching the city.
But this time the number of flying beetles was also very huge. The size of the black cloud was no less than five million.
"Archers are ready, go to the clouds and explode arrows!!"
Ji Feng, who was standing on the city wall, gave orders with a solemn expression.
At this moment, even as a Yang Shen warrior, he did not have the confidence to defend the border town.
The Cloud Explosive Arrow is a special kind of arrow, which is refined by the weapon refiner. Each arrow is worth three taels of silver. Once it hits the target, it will explode. It is the best weapon to deal with the flying Zerg. Often one arrow Cloud blast arrows can kill hundreds of Zerg.
However, the stock of cloud explosion arrows is very limited, less than 10,000.
Even so, Ji Feng ordered the use of cloud explosion arrows, because once the flying beetles were allowed to approach the city wall, it would cause huge damage.
"put!"
When the "black cloud" was only five hundred meters away from the city wall, Ji Feng finally gave the order to release arrows.
"Boohoo!"
Because Hei Yun's target was too big, all the cloud explosion arrows fired by a thousand archers hit the target.
"Boom boom boom!"
Explosions continued to sound, and then we saw swarms of flying beetles falling from the black cloud, and at the same time, a large amount of corrosive liquid poured out.
One round of cloud explosion arrows killed at least more than 200,000 flying beetles.
"Keep playing!"
Ji Feng said in a deep voice.
"Boohoo!"
Another round of cloud explosion arrows was shot, and immediately, another 200,000 flying beetle corpses fell.
In the blink of an eye, ten rounds of Cloud Explosive Arrows were fired. Two million flying beetles were killed, but the remaining three million flying beetles were less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
"General, we have run out of Yunbao arrows!" a messenger reported to Ji Fenghui.
Ji Feng's face couldn't help but darken. There were still three million flying beetles, but the cloud explosion arrows had actually been used up. Once these three million flying beetles were allowed to approach the city wall, even if they were completely killed, they would cause great damage to the city wall.
Ji Feng ordered: "Pass this order to all Talisman Gathering warriors to attack!"
After receiving Ji Feng's order, thirty-four Talisman Gathering Warriors flew away from the city wall, and then launched an attack on the flying beetles.
"Boom boom boom!"
Thirty-four Talisman Gathering warriors joined forces to attack with great momentum.
Thirty or forty people attacked in one continuous attack, instantly swallowing up a black cloud and then exploding.
This attack killed at least 300,000 flying beetles.
"continue!"
The thirty-four Talisman Gathering Warriors also understood the danger of flying beetles approaching the city wall, so they did not dare to stop at all and continued to attack from a distance.
"Boom boom boom!"
Following a series of explosions, when the black cloud approached ten meters from the city wall, it was finally completely wiped out.
Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall relaxed a little.
But at this moment, a sharp-eyed warrior pointed into the distance and said, "Look, it seems like another flying beetle is coming!"
The soldiers looked around and saw ten black clouds flying towards them from the horizon. Each black cloud was no smaller than the black cloud of flying beetles that had just been destroyed.
For a moment, the faces of the thirty-four Talisman Gathering Warriors became extremely ugly.
Air attacks are very energy-consuming.
Even if they wipe out the ten incoming black clouds, they may still be out of power.
But faced with this situation, they had no choice. Without waiting for the monsoon to give the order, they divided into ten teams and flew towards ten groups of black clouds.
Seeing this scene, Ji Feng felt something was wrong, but he did not stop the thirty-four Talisman Gathering Warriors from flying towards the flying beetle.
After a while.
Thirty-four talisman-gathering warriors met ten groups of flying beetles a thousand meters away from the city wall.
Without any extra words, they launched an attack directly.
"Boom boom boom!"
The light waves exploded and a large number of flying beetles were killed.
At this moment, Ji Feng seemed to sense something, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Take them all back!"
At the same time, he also turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the thirty-four Talisman Gathering Warriors.
But just as he left the city wall, three groups of light and shadow rose into the sky, cutting off his path. They were three strange insect-men.
