2074 Modified defense area (1)
When they saw a large group of four-winged birds rise into the sky and fly in different directions, the recruits looked disappointed.
With the presence of these veterans, at least he could feel a little more at ease. Other things aside, at least the other party had enough combat experience.
By following such a veteran in battle, when he made a mistake, there would be someone to stop and remind him in time.
However, with the departure of the other party, the entire defense area was filled with newcomers. Who knew how they would deal with the sea monsters when they attacked?
At this moment, a horn sounded above the defense area. It was a signal to gather everyone.
The new soldiers who knew that Tang Zhen had just been appointed seemed to have guessed that such a thing would happen. Hence, they put down the things in their hands and gathered at the bottom of the city wall.
Looking from the city wall, there were actually quite a few people, at least three to four thousand.
However, the walls of the defensive zone were more than 1000 meters long, and there were countless sea monsters. These few thousand people were nothing.
With just these few thousand recruits, it was no different from a fool’s dream to resist the attack of the monster.
The new recruits also knew this, so at this moment, they were like walking corpses, without any aura to speak of.
a bunch of useless cowards. I’m sure that you’ll all die when the sea monsters attack the city!
A figure appeared on top of the city wall. It was not Tang Zhen, who the new recruits had thought, but Sun Jun, who had a murderous look on his face.
The new soldiers who were scolded were a little indignant. However, after thinking about Tang Zhen and sun Jun’s ruthless methods, they all obediently shut their mouths.
Otherwise, they would not be able to use it. They were worried that their bodies would also be hung outside the city.
It was just that in their hearts, a trace of fighting spirit had been aroused. Even though they knew that Sun Jun was goading them, they did not want to admit defeat.
Sun Jun, who saw this scene, immediately described his origin and the military achievements he had obtained. He wanted to let these new recruits know that he did have the capital to reprimand and despise them.
The new recruits ‘expressions began to change. After knowing Sun Jun’s battle record, they no longer dared to underestimate him.
In many aspects, Sun Jun was indeed much stronger than them.
In fact, after staying in the God’s kingdom for so many years and killing sea monsters all day long, Sun Jun’s military achievements had already accumulated to a certain extent. He was more than enough to be the commander of the defense area.
However, just like the other veterans, he never took the initiative to take up a position, even if the proportion of military merits he received was higher.
The key was to stay alive. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how many battle achievements he earned.
The content of the training was nothing more than passing on some combat experience. When facing the attack of sea monsters, how to kill the monsters more effectively while protecting themselves as much as possible.
It could be said that a few simple words of guidance could allow more newbies to survive and have the opportunity to grow into experienced veterans.
When sun Jun was explaining, the new recruits all perked up their ears and listened carefully. They only lacked experience in fighting sea monsters, but they were not weak.
To be able to pass the initial test and obtain the pass to enter here was enough to prove their ability.
Therefore, when sun Jun was lecturing about his experience, these believers ‘attitudes were very serious, for fear that they would miss out on anything.
Sun Jun was teaching the new soldiers while Tang Zhen was wandering around.
He walked around the city wall and first checked the damaged area to make sure there were no hidden dangers.
As it concerned their own safety, none of the new recruits were sneaky or cunning when repairing the city wall.
When he confirmed his identity in the temple, Tang Zhen also received the information of this defense area and found that this place was indeed worthy of being a high-risk defense area.
The defense area was only about a kilometer long, with steep mountains on both sides, which the sea monsters could not climb.
The mountains that were destroyed in the past were not completely razed. Instead, they were full of holes like saw teeth.
The sea monsters had entered through these gaps, intending to attack the Grand temple in the hinterlands and completely destroy it.
It was said that the gods used their divine power to build defense areas around these gaps, completely blocking the gaps and preventing sea monsters from entering the mainland.
From Tang Zhen’s point of view, this was merely another form of creation.
Tang Zhen’s focus wasn’t on the city walls, but the mountain peaks on both sides.
Although it was easy to defend with a one-kilometer long line of defense, it would also limit their performance. It was impossible to effectively attack the monsters that came like waves.
Therefore, Tang Zhen was prepared to expand the defensive line. This way, they could attack the sea monster from a better angle and more advantageous terrain.
In fact, in other defensive areas, there were also examples of people chiseling mountains and attacking monsters from above.
However, the rocks of these peaks were comparable to steel, so it was extremely difficult to excavate them. Because the platform area was too small, only archers could be arranged most of the time.
Even steam ballistas were difficult to install, so the mountain didn’t play much of a role in battle. In the end, most of the defense areas gave up on this place.
Tang Zhen, however, took a fancy to this place. To others, it might be extremely difficult to excavate a mountain peak. However, it was not a difficult task to him.
The memory fragments exchanged from the spirit envoy made Tang Zhen recall his life experiences in the original world, as well as some trivial matters during the construction of the Holy Dragon City.
It was this part of the memory that made him remember the magical applications that he had not used for a long time. One of them could be used to change the terrain.
After observing for a while, Tang Zhen closed his eyes and activated the [ terrain transformation plug-in ] that was still sealed.
An indescribable, mysterious aura suddenly enveloped the sky above the defense area. The air seemed to have become much heavier.
Even the raging ocean suddenly became abnormally calm, as if it was being suppressed by an invisible force. It was as if it had become a mirror.
The believers who were repairing the city wall were stunned at the same time. There was a trace of fear in their eyes. They kept looking around, trying to figure out what had happened.
But at this moment, the ground seemed to start shaking. Then, someone noticed that the mountains on both sides of the defense line had changed.
It was like a soft dough being kneaded by an invisible hand, and then it began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A path that looked like a giant staircase appeared in front of them in an instant, and it continued to extend toward the peak of the mountain.
At every set distance, there would be a huge platform, enough for thousands of people to move freely.
When they reached the peak of the mountain, the path stopped extending. Then, they saw a tall tower made of stone rising from the ground.
Because the tower was located at the top of the mountain, it could be seen from a very long distance, making it the best place to observe the enemy.
However, the sea monsters were all in the deep sea, and they would use the water as cover when they attacked, so the tower’s scouting effect should not be very effective.
Tang Zhen clearly had another use for building the tower.
The transformation of the mountain continued. When the road appeared, the side facing the ocean became even more precipitous, almost as smooth as a knife.
Then, rows of holes began to appear on the smooth cliffs, like neat Windows.
The invisible interior of the mountain was also changing, and layers of huge space began to appear.
One could enter these spaces directly from the passage below the city wall, and finally reach the top of the mountain.
It sounded very complicated, but the transformation process was completed in a very short time. When the mountain stopped changing, many believers had not even recovered from the shock.
Looking at the completely changed defense area, the believer’s eyes were full of shock, even thinking that he was in a dream.
In their eyes, the scene just now was completely a miracle!
