I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 390 389. The enemy has become cunning
At this time, on the outskirts of the City of Joy, tens of thousands of monsters were divided into three groups. Following the guidance of a unique smell, they gradually gathered towards an empty town.

Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like three dark streams merging into a pond.

Although it cannot be compared with the larger wave of monsters later, this order of magnitude is enough to destroy the under-defended City of Joy.

And on the back of one of the extremely large rhinoceros-shaped monsters, there was a young waiter sitting cross-legged. He was looking up, closing his eyes, letting the rain wash away, and then sniffing hard, as if he was trying to distinguish the air. in taste.

"I smell fear and despair, mixed with hesitation and doubt... Hehe, humans are indeed the ugliest creatures in the world, and they are as arrogant as ever, naively thinking that their stupid strategies will always work."

The waiter spoke in a masculine voice, reached out and patted the monster under him, urging it to go faster, and continued:
"So it only takes a little guidance to make their defense vulnerable."

After that, he reached out and fiddled with the air, and a water curtain appeared in front of him, showing the situation in the three towns on the front line.

It can be clearly seen that the Joyful Cult has discovered the strange movement of the monsters, which caused considerable chaos in the originally well-prepared defense line. They have no idea how to deal with this group of monsters that suddenly bypassed the defense line.

They wanted to send strong men to pursue them, but they were afraid that the defense line would be lost; but if they were not stopped, the City of Joy behind them would be devastated and all life would be ruined.

The witch who looked like a waiter could even hear the quarrels through some secret arrangements:

The witch admired with great interest the ugly appearance of human beings at this time, with an expression of enjoyment on her face.

Following his urging, the three monsters that bypassed the defense line accelerated their pace and turned into three rapidly rushing streams, quickly occupying the outer area of ​​the town.

"Yes! There are people from other cities, they will come to help us, and their saints will come to save us!"

It's a pity that my control over the power of the mistress is still too immature and I can only affect these 50,000 little cuties. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to go around in circles with you. "

"Haha, death is imminent, and you are still waiting for someone to save you? What about our own saint?"

"Haha, it's useless. No matter how you respond, I can easily resolve it. In the face of the power from the mistress, everything you do is just the struggle of ants, making people laugh...

"Alas... Who said we are from the [Asylum] system? We followed the weakest saint and lived in the worst city... We can't escape, we can't even escape..."

"But if we let these monsters pass, what's the point of our persistence?"

The witch said to herself, then looked back, roughly estimated the size of the monster, and wanted to plan the time.

"Let me go! My wife and children are still in the city! Let me go back! Even if I am alone!"

The waiter-looking witch said disdainfully, waved her hand to disperse the water curtain in front of her, stood up from the monster's back, and looked at the empty town not far away.

"Hehe, I wonder if they have solved the unrest in the city? But even if they have solved it, it doesn't matter. They will soon discover that everything we do in the city is just to tease and fool them. How can we really destroy this city? The power to grow the city is in my hands from beginning to end."

"Fuck civilization, I haven't lived enough! I don't want to lose my life in this damn place."

But in his ears, he suddenly heard a rather special sound.

"Shut up! Don't waver in the defense line! This is an order from the Saint!"

"Not other cities, but human civilization as a whole."

"Everyone, please calm down. Hope is not completely lost. The monsters behind do not seem to have become smarter. Only the ones that go around suddenly become a little special. As long as we can resist the ones behind, there is still a chance to resolve the wave of monsters. !”

Then, the witch ordered the monsters to slow down a little, waiting for those behind to catch up, and then gather into an irresistible wave to attack the hinterland of the City of Joy.

"Are we going to have to sacrifice our lives for other cities?"

"Hold on! Don't waver! If a larger wave of monsters takes shape, the City of Joy will not only be destroyed."

"Hmph~ You ran away pretty fast, but how long can you run away? Hurry up, little cuties! Go drink human blood!"

Boo~Boom~Boom~Boom~
That was the sound of a cannonball piercing the air.

"Oh? There's still sporadic resistance? It surprises me, but it's still just a stupid struggle. It's just a few cannonballs. There's no way..."

Before the witch could finish her words, she was interrupted by several violent explosions.

Boom~boom~boom~boom~
Following a thunderous roar, the entire ground began to tremble slightly, splashing out large amounts of mud and smoke, mixed with a large number of monster residues and debris, and covering the temporary gathering point of the monsters.

"How can this... be so powerful? Is it a secret weapon of mankind?"

The witch's face couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

The four previous shells killed at least a hundred monsters...

He has a very clear understanding of human beings' various thermal weapons, especially the weapons and equipment of the City of Joy, and he knows very well what kind of damage a cannonball can cause.

Cannons may be useful against low-danger monsters, but starting from danger level 3, they are difficult to shake.

As for the witch's "direct attack on the Yellow Dragon", in order to ensure the team's traveling speed and combat effectiveness, they have been specially screened. Most of them are monsters with a danger level of 3 or above, which is equivalent to an elite army of monsters.

This will inevitably result in the danger of the monsters behind being not high enough to put too much pressure on the defense line.

So if humans can look at the situation from a certain omniscient perspective, they will find that the best way to deal with it at the moment is to take the initiative and deal with the relatively weak monster groups at the back first, and let the monsters rushing in from further away He couldn't find his direction and fell into chaos, thus completely blocking the gathering of monsters.
Then turn around and deal with this group of monsters that have gone deep alone, and this crisis can be eliminated.

But this also means that the unsuspecting City of Joy will face the looting of tens of thousands of monsters, and countless people will die...

In this way, even if the monster tide is finally eliminated, it will be almost like losing.

Therefore, the waiter-like witch firmly believes that no human being can make such a choice.

But if we encounter a stubborn resistance from humans and are unable to rush into the city, then it will obviously be another ending...

The witch knew the consequences of this very well, so she immediately issued an order:
"Find the location of those artillery pieces!"

So hundreds of monsters with the ability to fly separated from the large army and searched for artillery positions from the sky.

The humans didn't let them wait any longer, and soon the second round of four shells came over them, hitting the area with the highest concentration of monsters.

For a time, the splashing stumps and colorful plasma dyed the area that was originally the train station brightly colored.

Just four rounds of artillery shells produced a killing effect that hundreds of artillery pieces could not produce.

But those flying monsters also locked onto the source of the cannonballs and flew rapidly towards the other end of the town.

"Haha~ It's not a big problem. As long as I get rid of this powerful secret weapon, I can still control the situation!" the witch said to herself.

However, what responded to him was the third round of fire coverage...

This time, even the witch herself flew into the sky with a violent explosion, but only her upper body was left, while her lower body had completely turned into powder.

However, for creatures like them, the body is just a container. Losing the lower body will not be life-threatening, but will only affect the movement.

So the witch still had the energy to continue talking to herself:

"Damn it! Why is this cannonball so powerful? And... it actually has extraordinary power attached to it?"

"Also! Haven't I already found the artillery position? Why haven't I eliminated the enemy?"

What answered him was the fourth round of fire coverage. It still only had four shells, but it could still have the effect of hundreds of heavy cannons.

........................

"Hahaha! This is so cool!"

Lloyd laughed excitedly while rubbing his hands back and forth on a palm-sized cannonball, adding extraordinary power to it.

Then he loaded the shells into a mortar-like weapon next to him, and then started processing the next shell.

The two top students who were brave and not afraid of death were doing the same thing.

They were currently guarding a relatively high hillside. There were hundreds of corpses of monsters scattered nearby, all of which were flying monsters that had pounced on them earlier.

Lloyd had long expected that there would be a surprise attack by such monsters, so he maximized the range of the [Distortion Realm] from the beginning, covering the hillside.

As soon as those flying monsters approached, his perception was completely distorted and they could only scurry around like headless flies.

Then Lloyd unleashed his inspiration to the maximum extent, locked a dozen of them at once, activated physical distortion, and destroyed them.

He actually wanted to target more, eliminate more in one go, or allow the [Distortion Realm] to cover a larger area.

It’s just 300 points of [Inspiration], which is already the limit...

This was the first time that Lloyd felt that his inspiration was not enough?

As for Professor Toledo, he was holding something like a rangefinder and looking into the distance.

Following the guidance of the device in his hand, the mortar clamped on the ground did not need human hands to control it. It adjusted its direction according to him and then fired.

"Hit the target! Hahaha! My artillery skills are truly unparalleled in the world! No wonder the women in my hometown call me Little Steel Cannon!"

Professor Toledo burst into another burst of excited cheers.

Covered by several rounds of extremely precise and extremely powerful firepower, the nearly one thousand monsters that gathered first encountered a head-on attack and were blown to pieces. Even monsterologists could not distinguish them.

Despite the small size of this cannonball, the power of the explosion is not inferior to the large-caliber heavy artillery on the earth. It is extremely enjoyable to explode.

It can also be covered with extraordinary power to further enhance its power. Under the control and guidance of Professor Toledo, the accuracy is extremely high, and each shot can land in the area with the highest concentration of monsters.

So just a small-scale mortar position composed of four people blew up the monsters that were still gathering behind them, and they had to fall into a temporary stagnation, and they did not dare to get closer.

"Professor? Why don't you continue?"

Lloyd asked impatiently after loading another cannonball.

Professor Toledo quickly put on a pair of special telescopes, observed the movements of the monsters, and then cursed and replied:

"The range is not enough... These cowards don't dare to get close! Damn it, I should have designed the cannon to be bigger...

etc! They are changing their direction of travel, intending to bypass our position, and they have also dispersed their formation and are no longer so densely packed together. "

After hearing this, Lloyd couldn't help but frown.

"Sure enough, there is a witch commanding it. Ordinary monsters cannot be so smart."

Another top student also said eagerly:
"This is troublesome. We only have four people. We can't cover a wide distance. They will go around us!"

And Professor Toledo also brought another bad news:

"Not good! They've become smarter again and started approaching us in small groups."

"This...are our artillery shells enough?"

Another top student asked quietly.

Professor Toledo frowned and asked:
"The shells are definitely enough, but what about your spiritual power?"

"This...I can drink medicine."

As the top student said this, he quickly poured tons of potion into his mouth, and the other top student did the same.

In order for the cannonballs to exert the same power and range as before, a lot of spiritual energy must be injected into them. The previous rounds have already consumed most of their spiritual energy.

Lloyd can hold on for a while longer, but he can't hold on forever.

What's more, he had already dealt with hundreds of flying monsters on his own before, which was also very expensive...

On the other hand, the enemy, after suffering a sap at the beginning, made adjustments so quickly. It is obvious that they are extremely cunning and difficult to deal with. At the same time, they also have an absolute numerical advantage and have sufficient fault tolerance.

As for Lloyd, he still has a headache on how to stop the monsters that have been bypassed...

Professor Toledo was relatively calm and said quickly:
"Don't panic, don't panic. The situation is not too bad. The college should send a medical team to support us soon. We just need to stick to this direction!"

It's already this time, what's the use of sending a medical team? Collect the body?

Lloyd couldn't help but cursed.
