"What do you mean by delay?"
Du Feng pretended as if he didn't understand. He struck the True Elemental Cannon with the Clear Ice Secret Art and quickly cooled it down. Then, he stuffed in 50 blue crystals and injected his Quintessential Essence. When Captain Duan finished nagging, he was done with everything.
"Yan …"
Captain Duan wanted to say something but realized that the True Origin Cannon controlled by Du Feng had entered an attack state. How was this possible? Why could his True Origin Cannon fire continuously?
"Boom!"
There was another flash of white light and a loud noise. Because it was too close this time, the sound was too loud. Captain Duan was caught off guard and was blinded by the white light. Tears flowed out and his ears buzzed.
"Stay away, don't hurt yourself."
The four captains controlling the True Origin Cannons were supposed to be on their own watchtowers, separated from the city guards on the city wall. Because the recoil of the True Origin Cannon was very strong, people with insufficient arm strength would not be able to control it. It was also possible that they would be sent flying after firing. In addition, the sound was very loud, and it was easy to be deafened.
"You … you are ruthless!"
When Captain Lin saw that Du Feng was not short of money, he left tactfully. Only Captain Duan was left here. Captain Duan had nothing to say now. This was because Du Feng was not short of money and did not need to wait for the True Origin Cannon to cool down. Filling up the blue crystals was his own money, and cooling the cannon consumed his Quintessential Essence. Every time he fired another shot, he could reduce the pressure on the crossbowmen. He couldn't say that Du Feng was wrong.
"Why are the people from the City Lord Mansion so generous?"
"Yeah, they fired so early this time. In the past, the crossbowmen only fired when they could not hold on anymore."
"Sigh, 50 blue crystals per shot is enough for the five of us to enter the city. These prodigals really know how to waste money."
Some of the wandering warriors at the foot of the city wall were glad that the True Origin Cannon was fired early. This way, the speed of the beast horde would slow down, and they would have a better chance of survival. Some people complained that the cannon was fired indiscriminately and that they might as well spend the rest of the money.
"That's right, that's right. A few years ago, I went to the city with you guys. The girls in the city were all beautiful, especially the Pill Yang Building …"
Hearing that the True Essence Cannon needed 50 blue crystals to be used once, the male martial artists became interested. They began to discuss what the fifty blue crystals could be used for. For example, he could spend ten Blue Crystals for half a temporary identity card and find a cheap room in Lanting Pavilion to stay in. He would go to the restaurant to eat some good food, and then he would go to the Dan Yang Building to find some pretty girls.
"Then keep bragging. You want to look for pretty girls in the Elixir Yang Building for fifty blue crystals? It's already good enough to be able to look at them at the entrance."
"I know a place. Although the ladies there can't be compared to the Dan Yang Tower, they are still pretty. If you're interested …"
The more the male martial artists talked, the more excited they became. Some wandering martial artists also came to join in the fun.
"That's right, that's right. The two shots just now cost 100 blue crystals. How good would it be if they were given to us."
"These people from the City Lord's Mansion only know how to show off their strength at normal times, but hide at the city's borders at crucial times, leaving us to fend them off. If they really have the ability, why don't they come down and break through the enemy lines? "
The more the wandering martial artists complained, the more intense they became. Some of them even started to scold the person who fired the shots. Luckily, they didn't know Du Feng's name. Otherwise, he would have been scolded badly.
"Damn, this bunch of good-for-nothings."
Actually, the reason why Du Feng fired the shots in advance was not only to test the power of the True Origin Cannon, but also to help the wandering martial artists who were hiding at the city walls. After all, their combat power was limited. If the beasts approached them, they would definitely die. However, he didn't expect them to complain that he was spending money recklessly when he fired the shots with good intentions. Even if Du Feng was talking nonsense, he was spending money that he had earned.
Sure enough, a pitiful person must have a hateful side. He had stayed outside the Stone Plain City for so long. He had the money to look for pretty girls in the city, but he couldn't find a way to settle down. Now that the beasts were attacking, he didn't have the money to buy his life. He deserved it. Thinking of this, Du Feng stopped firing the shots and started to study the runes on it.
Eh? Why didn't he fire again? Sure enough, he was just pretending. Realizing that Du Feng didn't fire anymore, Captain Duan felt much better. They were all captains. Why did Du Feng have so much money? Not only did he have a lot of blue crystals, but he could also cool down the True Origin Cannon quickly. Wasn't this a slap in the face of the other three captains?
"Damn, why didn't he fire? Don't they care about the lives of poor people?"
"That's right. This bunch of good-for-nothings must have saved money and spent it on themselves."
Du Feng was scolded when he fired the shots, but he was also scolded by the wandering martial artists when he stopped firing. In fact, he was the only one firing from the start. The other three captains were waiting for the order. Without the order from the City Lord Mansion, they wouldn't fire. After all, firing the shots consumed a lot of energy.
"It's over, it's over. We're dead this time. If I knew this, I wouldn't have come out this year. "
There was a well-dressed wandering martial artist who used to live in the Stone Plain City. Because he had earned some money from his stall, he spent a lot of money in the city. After all, the cost of living in the city was too high. Therefore, he moved to the outskirts of the city and started living in a tent again. He was thinking of saving enough money to go to the city next year. Who knew that the beast tide would come before he could save enough money.
"That's right. Brother, I still have some money, but they won't let me enter the city."
"If I knew this, I would have gone back to the East Continent first."
Most of the wandering martial artists outside the Stone Plain City came from other cities in the South Continent, but some of them came from other continents. This wandering warrior dressed like a scholar came from the East Continent. Actually, he had dozens of blue crystals, but he couldn't bear to apply for an ID card. Therefore, he lived in the outskirts of the city temporarily. When he heard that the beast tide was coming, it was too late to apply for an ID card.
"Fire!"
Without the intervention of the True Origin Cannon, when the beast tide was about a kilometer away, the first row of crossbowmen shot powerful arrows. The scene of tens of thousands of arrows was spectacular. Even half of the sun in the sky was covered by them.
"Wow, so many black iron arrows must cost a lot of money."
"Don't talk nonsense. You can afford one white crystal for one arrow."
Even when the crossbowmen shot the arrows, some people complained that it was a waste of money. Fortunately, there was someone who understood and stopped him from complaining. It was fine if one shot of the True Origin Cannon cost 50 blue crystals, but one blue crystal for the crossbow arrows could buy ten thousand arrows. The ten thousand arrows were equivalent to saving many people's lives. Some people couldn't stand it anymore and still complained.
