At the sight of Zhang Tie, the four fighters on a steam ballista on the city wall became thrilled. During these days, Zhang Tie had already become a "top gunner" who operated steam ballista on this side of the city wall. Every day, he would operate a ballista numbered S137 on the north city wall of Mocco City together with the other fighters.
When the other gunners operated this ballista, due to the great vitality of demonized puppets, it was very difficult for them to kill a demonized puppet. Because of the terrifying immortality of demonized puppets, unless their heads were blown off in a split second, even if their bodies were penetrated through by the ballista, they would still rush towards them.
7 days ago, as the gunner operated this ballista for too long, his arms were dislocated due to the severe contusion. Zhang Tie was on his side. After saying "let me do it", he sat on the position of the gunner. Based on his excellent ability, he soon gained the recognition of the other fighters on this ballista and became a special non-staff member on the S137 ballista.
It was a ballista battalion of the 7th City Defense Corps under the administration of the garrison corps of Mocco City, Symbian Republic who was responsible for those ballista positions and the surrounding ballista positions. Theoretically, people who were not in the ballista battalion, especially Zhang Tie, could not be influenced by the reaction force of the ballista positions at all. As a person who could be immune to the strike force of almost 900 kg, the damage caused by the shock was too trivial.
Zhang Tie's hands were as firm as rocks as he constantly blew up the bodies or heads of demonized puppets in front of him. This was different than spear throwing. Although Zhang Tie could not make the ballista as precise as his spear throwing, he could make the ballista's precision reach 30-50% based on his instinct. Although Zhang Tie could not control the strength of the steam in the rotating high-density steam compression tank, the trajectory of the bolts was similar to that of spear throwing.
With this ability, Zhang Tie became a respectable "sharpshooter" on this section of the city wall. Even Zhang Tie couldn't remember how many demonized puppets he had killed these days.
As for others, such a harvest was worth being happy about; however, it was meaningless for Zhang Tie. However, he had to do it. Because those demonized puppets were humans when they were alive. What he killed here was just a larva and an egg of the parent puppet worm of demons. A parent puppet worm could lay hundreds of thousands of such eggs a day. However, the real super demon corps had not appeared until now. Perhaps, for the super demon corps, the so-called demonized puppets corps were just low-value consumables. Their purpose of existence was to kill demonized puppets. They were here to be cannon fodder and throw their lives away. No matter how many died, the demons wouldn't feel the pinch.
All the people in Mocco City. Who could imagine that the famous Selnes Eagle was playing the role of a sharpshooter on the turret of a small steam ballista?
When the demonized puppets were less than 30 m away from the city wall, they would enter the blind angle of the steam ballista, which would be covered by the scattered striking weapons. The entire city wall was covered with dense mechanisms and layers of defensive weapons. Almost none of the demonized puppets could go back alive after dropping off their corpses. However, it seemed that those demonized puppets didn't want to go back alive either. Being like a sieve, those demonized puppets gathered under the city wall and tried to climb up. As long as they were close to the city wall, The dense holes in the middle of the city wall would be filled with rows of sharp steel spears.
From the egg-sized holes, rows of sharp steel spears would pierce out of the holes one after another and retract them one after another. As a result, the demonized puppets' efforts and bodies were shattered.
Although the demonized puppets failed each time by stepping on their partners' corpses, they succeeded each time. As the corpses grew taller and taller, the demonized puppets were getting closer and closer to the top of the city wall. After being completely blocked by the dense corpses, the defensive weapons in the middle and lower parts of the city wall started to lose their effect.
Everybody knew that the real test for Mocco City had not arrived yet. However, it was not far away from that.
The moment he sat on the cannon position, Zhang Tie had forgotten about time. Besides torches, the lens lamps on the city wall had also been lit up, illuminating the area within 100 m away from the city wall. However, the farther place became blurred. Burning fire pots were thrown out of the city wall and lit up the open and dark areas outside the city wall so as to provide enough light source for the shooting weapons on the city wall.
When it completely turned dark, due to the cover of the darkness, the accuracy of the weapons on the city wall started to decline. As a result, the demonized puppets became more restless as they significantly increased the density and frequency of their attacks. As a result, the burning bombs that were thrown out of the city wall would soon be put out by the demonized puppets, causing the surrounding space to turn completely dark.
In the darkness, demonized puppets rushed towards Mocco City one wave after another with grim looks like ferocious ghosts.
With his dark vision, Zhang Tie could maintain the same accuracy in the dark as in the daytime. As the density of demonized puppets increased, the lethality of Zhang Tie's ballista increased. However, Zhang Tie was the only one on the city wall who could do that. Therefore, the number of demonized puppets within 30 m of the city wall started to increase evidently.
Not knowing how long had passed, Zhang Tie heard a boom. Closely after that, he felt his face turning hot while the S137 ballista stopped at once...
A place on the position of the ballista suddenly exploded while a piece of broken metal broke Zhang Tie's face, leaving a 1 cm long wound on Zhang Tie's left cheek...
"Ahh, the high-pressure rifled tube of S137 is broken. How could this happen? F * ck... "the monitor of the second squad who had been replaced by the second squad shouted loudly while lying on the ground. The surrounding fighters also became flurried...
Ignoring the wound on his face and the fresh blood, Zhang Tie casually wiped off his face and jumped off the gunner's position. After that, he lowered his head and found a pipe at the bottom of the turret had been evidently damaged while a hot steam spurted out of it...
"How about it? Can it be repaired?" Zhang Tie asked the monitor...
"This is an important part of the emplacement. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been damaged at all. How did this happen? This thing can only be replaced, but it can't be repaired. And to replace this thing, we'll need to move the entire turret away. It'll take us at least three days to repair it." The face of the squad leader of the S137 was pale …
In the blink of an eye, another ballista exploded as another ballista fell to the ground.
