Previously, Du Feng had said that this batch of Apocalyptic Cannons were second-hand goods, so they were quite worn out. It was very likely that they would malfunction during use. But he had never expected that a problem would occur in such a short period of time.
"Humph, this bunch of fools is dead."
Ximen Zhi knew very well that using the Apocalyptic Cannons at such a high frequency would definitely malfunction. When the time came, he would just say that they were using it improperly. Of course, he said this in his heart and didn't really say it out loud.
"Prepare the catapults!"
He had thought that the people of Yao-Repelling City were dead, but he hadn't expected that they would have a backup plan. The commoners in the city had already organized themselves and set up many catapults inside the city. They didn't put round stones on them, but some barbed iron balls.
This was a batch of weapons that the commoners of the city had worked together to create. Each catapult required hundreds of people to operate.
"Ready!"
Without the command of the guard commander, the commoners themselves shouted the slogan. Following the slogan, the barbed iron balls were put in, and hundreds of people pulled the poles to the end.
"Release!"
Everyone let go, and the huge iron balls were thrown out. This method was rather stupid, slow, and not very accurate. But the biggest advantage was that everyone cooperated with each other to unleash a great deal of power.
Among the commoners of the Yao-Repelling City, there were very few Perfected Golden Immortals, and even if there were, they were already on the city walls. The Cultivation level inside wasn't high, so in theory, they couldn't beat the demon beasts. Once the demon beasts rushed in, they would just be cannon fodder that would be trampled into meat paste.
But it was different when everyone cooperated. Every 100 people operated a catapult. There were a total of 1,000 catapults in the city, which meant that there were 100,000 commoners participating in the battle. In addition to the people filling and transporting the ammunition, as well as those who were busy making the ammunition, there were hundreds of thousands of people in total.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
Each iron ball was as big as a house, and the scene of so many iron balls being thrown out was quite spectacular. Most importantly, these iron balls had thorns on them. Just the inertia of the falling iron balls was already very powerful, not to mention those thorns. The three-horned rhinoceros was directly lying on the ground, and even the big-nosed elephant was dizzy.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Even the big-nosed elephant couldn't stand steadily after being hit in the head by a few big iron balls.
Beautiful! Seeing groups of Demonic Beasts fall, the guard commander nodded repeatedly. Sure enough, the power of the masses was the greatest. No matter how many guards the City Lord's Mansion had, they were only good at maintaining law and order. When it was time to put their lives on the line, they needed the support of the people.
Of the millions of residents of Yao-Repelling City, apart from the old, weak, sick, and disabled, almost all of them began to move. Even the women who did not have much strength were busy serving tea or adding firewood to the stove.
"Use the fireball!"
The wisdom of the working people was limitless, even though they didn't have the Apocalypse Cannon. He actually used kerosene and hollow iron balls to create the so-called fireball. After the catapult threw this kind of iron ball, it would splash a lot of oil on the body of the demon beast. Then, he threw out a few more fireballs, instantly igniting a large part of the battlefield.
"Wow …" Even Du Feng was dumbfounded. The commoners' primitive methods were actually so powerful.
However, he also knew that this method could not be sustained. This was because the catapult's shaft would break after being used a few times. After all, that thing was made of wood. Moreover, the large iron balls wasted a lot of materials. Even if the people in the rear were busy making them, they could not keep up with the speed of consumption.
Thus, he took advantage of the time while the catapults were still in use to repair the Grade 2 Heaven Opening Cannons.
The group of ferocious beasts hiding in the clouds had not attacked yet, so no one dared to let down their guard. Du Feng used the fastest speed to repair the Heaven Opening Cannons, but he was the only one who knew how to repair them. Before he could finish, the sky suddenly began to rain cats and dogs.
The rain was not just heavy, it was like falling under a waterfall.
"Roar …"
The shadow of a giant dragon appeared in the sky. It had descended from the First Heaven. This giant dragon was too big, so big that it could cover half of the Immortal City. It was this giant dragon that had opened its mouth and spat out a large amount of water, extinguishing the fire below.
Holy shit, how were they supposed to fight!
Du Feng's pupils constricted. He could already see that it was a Grade 19 giant dragon. A Grade 19 giant dragon was equivalent to a human Immortal Lord. Moreover, because of its huge size, it could display more power in a large-scale battle than a human Immortal Lord.
"Zha, zha, zha …"
As the giant dragon moved, all the ferocious beasts hiding in the clouds also moved. Seeing the dense mass of ferocious beasts coming over, everyone thought it was over, it was really over this time.
Damn it, I have to be fast!
Du Feng's fingers moved as fast as they could as he rapidly repaired the Heaven Opening Cannons. Once the Heaven Opening Cannons were repaired, they could still shoot into the sky. But it was too late, because some of the ferocious beasts had already landed on the barrier and were using their beaks and claws to scratch it.
What should they do, why wasn't the City Lord coming out yet?
It was already at this time, yet the Demon Repelling City Lord still hadn't come out. This was simply too outrageous. Everyone had been united, thinking that they would finally be able to overcome this crisis. Who would have thought that a single giant dragon would shatter their dreams?
What was going on, could it be that the Dragon Realm had also interfered? But that didn't seem right, the Dragon Realm shouldn't be helping the Demon Realm.
That wasn't a giant dragon of the Dragon Realm, but a giant dragon of the Demon Realm, and one with an impure bloodline. This kind of impure bloodline was generally not accepted by the Dragon Realm, but if they were strong enough, they would seek refuge in the Demon Realm.
Didn't the two sides agree that the Grade 19 Demon Realm and human Immortal Lords wouldn't participate in the battle? What was going on? A Grade 19 giant dragon hadn't taken human form yet, so strictly speaking, it wasn't a Demon Realm cultivator. Moreover, it was only raining rain and driving away the ferocious beasts, not personally attacking the human Immortal cities. Strictly speaking, it wasn't participating in the battle.
In fact, the biggest problem was that there were too few Immortal Lords in the Eastern Heaven Realm. The city lords of the major Immortal cities were at most half-step Immortal Lords, not true Immortal Lords. Occasionally, there would be a few Immortal Lords, but they only lived in seclusion in the forests of the Eastern Heaven Realm, not caring about the affairs of the Immortal cities. The lives and deaths of the common people had nothing to do with them. If there were Immortal Lords in their cities, they would definitely intervene.
