Wasteland Development Diary

#123 - Battle of the City

Under the impact of the alien, the sea defense line collapsed at the first touch.

From the watchtower, Baili Gong saw a square monster over a hundred meters tall striding from the coast. Behind it were three smaller aliens, but they were also thirty meters tall.

They did not cause the ground to rumble as they stepped, but descended silently, giving a strong sense of unreality.

As the four aliens approached, the humans in Shell City immediately fell into panic.

They ran around the city trying to hide, but nowhere was safe. In the end, they all fled towards the city gates, away from the aliens. However, since the city had long been sealed off, they were dispersed by cold-blooded soldiers with weapons, and could only run around the city like headless flies, crying and shouting.

"Foolish."

Baili Gong cursed.

As the enemy continued to approach, the appearance of the invading aliens became clearer.

The leading large alien, "Emerald City," was covered in dense square holes, each covered with a layer of transparent glass, inside which was pitch black and deep.

A piece of its top skull seemed to have been blown off, and some stacked square structures grew there, looking like exposed brains.

It looked particularly fierce and terrifying.

The second-generation aliens behind it were only one-third the height of Emerald City, but they had none of the clumsiness and dullness of younglings. They followed the adult's pace in unison, well-trained.

The distance between the two sides further narrowed.

The shadows cast by the aliens had already touched the bottom of Shell City's city gate.

The scout next to him was already covered in sweat and having difficulty breathing: "Sir, shouldn't we attack now? The enemy is too close..."

Baili Gong remained calm: "Wait a little longer."

Not enough.

The distance is not enough.

Emerald City's long, dark shadow finally enveloped the city wall. And the sun's angle caused the glass in the alien's body to reflect a dazzling light, like countless eyes examining everything in the city.

The soldiers on the city wall all shrank behind the battlements to avoid the gaze of this terrifying monster.

Emerald City continued to advance.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Baili Gong suddenly ordered: "All troops, listen to my command, open fire on the aliens at will!"

As the messenger sounded the alarm bell, the Phantasmal Fish were the first to launch a counterattack.

These heavy firepower warriors with the longest range inflated their air sacs, like wide-brimmed balloons rising on the city wall. They spat out glowing death bubbles and fired at Emerald City.

Hippocampus Archers also raised their heads from the wall, pointing their long mouths towards the enemy in front.

Every two human soldiers assisted one Hippocampus Archer, fitting their long mouths with "long-range devices" shaped like long trumpets, and fixing them with metal tripods.

Although the long-range device could increase the range to a certain extent, its accuracy was very poor and it was prone to overload. Auxiliary soldiers needed to replace the overheated extension tubes in front at any time and cool them down, otherwise they might explode and injure themselves. Therefore, it was mostly used for city or front-line defense.

With the blessing of the long-range devices, the Head-Supporting Hippocampus Archers sprayed oval light bullets at the enemy, forming dense crossfire.

When the death bubbles hit the alien, they initially caused localized continuous explosions and fires, but the opponent immediately counteracted. Emerald City extended numerous metal tentacles from its body, grabbing the flying bubbles one by one and directly absorbing and eliminating them.

The Hippocampus Archers' light bullets hit the alien's body, only causing some light纹震荡, and could hardly break through the defense.

But this was all to cover the key feint.

The Thornbird Suicide Squad had already arrived on the battlefield in the chaos.

They quickly airdropped light-blocking oil onto Emerald City and the other four aliens. The pottery jars shattered upon hitting the aliens, and the special 光珀 inside flowed out, quickly adhering to their surfaces. Although the first batch of Thornbirds was quickly killed by the Ridge Hunters, the key objective had been achieved.

Baili Gong observed the battlefield situation.

Very good.

The blocking strategy was successful.

Light-blocking oil is a special weapon against aliens, which can seriously affect the operation of the light-印 structure, increasing the energy consumption of the covered area and even forming local blockages.

Even if Emerald City is in a complete state, it will still be curbed by this mechanism.

As long as we hold it back, hold it here, we have a chance to win.

Baili Gong said silently.

Although you are strong, I am not weak... Underestimating the enemy will cost you.

However, some black Warrior Crabs crawled out of Emerald City, and they quickly cleaned up the black light-blocking oil on it with shovels, moving very nimbly.

Baili Gong's heart sank.

He didn't expect that the Warrior Crabs could be trained by Zhou Yi into a multi-functional force.

Can't wait any longer.

Baili Gong ordered: "Explosive tactics."

The bell suddenly changed, becoming rapid and loud.

Then two more batches of Thornbirds flew out, continuing to make suicide 光油投掷 against the Emerald City group.

The Ridge Hunters, guarding the aliens, released high-energy death rays, destroying the Thornbirds one by one.

But at the same time, the Sea Fighters hidden and ambushed underground by the death ray device all emerged. They opened their thick claws, firmly pounced on the leading Emerald City, and wrapped iron chains around its surface.

With the weakening of the light-blocking oil, as long as the large light-blocking device can take effect, the alien can be nailed in place.

However, the next second, Emerald City stretched out its metal tentacles, grabbing a Sea Fighter with each hand and throwing them towards the death bubbles in the air. The two sides exploded on contact, causing flames and explosions.

The charred Sea Fighters crashed onto the city wall, causing another chaos in the defensive formation.

Emerald City continued to clear the Sea Fighters on its body who were not afraid of death.

More Sea Fighters who wanted to rush up were blocked by the small aliens. They waved their steel arms, grabbed a Sea Fighter and used steel fists to continuously and frantically beat them, smashing the scales of these elite warriors... Most of the Sea Fighters died in their hands.

The high-intensity and tragic battle finally allowed the ferocity of the Light-Bearing race to be completely suppressed by the fear of death. After paying a heavy price in casualties, the remnants finally couldn't hold on and fled in all directions.

The army was defeated like a landslide.

Baili Gong knew that it was time to retreat.

He had already prepared new tactics. First, he would regroup his troops with Steel Refinery City. There was no chance for a head-on confrontation. He would directly attack the hinterland of the Sandport area to force him to withdraw his troops.

At this time, the four major aliens had surrounded the city, and metal arms grabbed the city wall. Thousands of monster eyes overlooked Shell City, scaring the residents into shrinking into corners, shivering.

A arrogant voice came from the enemy.

"Baili Gong's evil deeds are known to everyone, and the crimes he committed are too numerous to count."

"My Wasteland Development Company suffered heavy losses due to his attack. This time, we are here to seek justice for the innocent victims and pay the blood debt."

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

"This time, we will only punish the chief culprit, Baili Gong, and it has nothing to do with others."

"Baili Gong, if you have the guts, come out and fight one-on-one!"

"Baili Gong, get out."

...

This voice was repeated over and over again.

Baili Gong's face was ugly as he listened.

The messenger on the watchtower couldn't help but secretly glance at himself.

Baili Gong's eyes were cold, and the messenger quickly lowered his head.

Endure!

Must endure.

Baili Gong continued to observe the enemy's every move.

Although they continued to clamor within the city, Emerald City did not seem to be ready to step into the city immediately, appearing very cautious.

The enemy also has concerns. They seem to suspect that there are ambushes in the city.

Baili Gong breathed a slight sigh of relief.

To some extent, it's a good thing that the opponent seems to be experienced. If it were a reckless person, he would have crushed the city wall and stepped in now, which would be a greater threat to him.

In fact, Baili Gong had no energy to make any more arrangements.

The three small aliens slowly moved along the city wall, pacing back and forth, like giants looking at ants in a nest.

Baili Gong felt uncomfortable.

When has he ever been subjected to such anger?

But there's no way.

The strength of the four aliens exceeded his limit.

Before long, the adult Emerald City suddenly turned around and walked towards the port south of the city.

Baili Gong felt a pang of pain in his heart.

The Shell City breeding ship under the Dead Sea could not be saved.

The reason why Shell City can produce a large number of high-quality shellfish is because Baili Gong excavated this electromechanical life in the Dead Sea. Without it, there would be no Shell City.

Now he can only give up.

Baili Gong tried hard not to pay attention to Emerald City salvaging the breeding ship, but his heart was still bleeding.

He spent a lot of light seeds to repair and upgrade that ship, and it took him 20 years to figure out its use and usage.

Endure, endure.

Baili Gong adjusted his mentality.

As dusk approached, the northern and southern reinforcements were still late in arriving.

The aliens swept around and found nothing else.

The holes on the surface of the four aliens suddenly released a strong light, appearing condescending and unstoppable in the darkness.

That voice changed its rhetoric again.

"Residents of the city, in view of Baili Gong's refusal to fight, my side will destroy this city to retaliate against the huge losses caused to us by Baili Gong."

"All residents evacuate here within the next hour, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

"If you are willing, you can also follow us to evacuate this war zone and migrate to a safe area. We will do our best to ensure your safety."

Under the ultimatum, the order in the city could no longer be maintained, and a large number of residents climbed the city wall one after another, fleeing desperately. A small number of residents went out from the front, constantly kneeling and worshiping the aliens, expressing their surrender and following.

Baili Gong watched with wide eyes.

Destroy my city, and steal my population and slaves!

How can I endure this!

Baili Gong's anger had broken through the top of his head.

He quickly left the watchtower, glared fiercely at the tall and ferocious enemy, and then fled in the opposite direction without looking back.

Wait for me!

I will be back!
