The officers and soldiers stationed on the city wall roared angrily. Some of the soldiers punched the ballista in agitation. Even though their fists were covered in blood, the ballista remained motionless even though the core part of the ballista was damaged.
The high-pressure rifled tube was the core component of the ballistae. Theoretically, this component which was made of a special alloy was undoubtedly durable. In normal situations, this component almost didn't need to be replaced. It was the most durable component of the ballistae. However, when the defense of Mocco City entered the critical stage, the high-pressure rifled tubes on the ballistae were all damaged. This was not a common accident or coincidence; instead, it was done by someone on purpose...
Two years ago, when the holy war was in full swing, before the demonized corps reached Selnes Plain, the entire city-defense system of Mocco City had been upgraded on a large scale. In that upgrade, the key components of these ballistae were updated. Although these ballistae didn't have any problem in normal situations, nobody could imagine that these ballistae could have a problem only after being used for one week continuously.
Zhang Tie immediately thought of Three-eye Association.
Only those b * stards of Three-eye Association could have such a motive and ability to mess with the city-defense system of Mocco City at the critical moment.
Undoubtedly. Three-eye Association's power was deeply hidden in the Symbian Republic.
However, at this moment, it was meaningless even if Zhang Tie knew that it was done by Three-eye Association...
The demonized puppets swarmed towards the city wall one wave after another. More and more corpses were dropped outside the city wall by demonized puppets. As a result, the corpses accumulated higher and higher...
At this moment, paladins and demon hunters in Mocco City jumped off the city wall one after another and aroused death whirlwinds in the tide of demonized puppets so as to slow down the attacking rhythm of demonized puppets.
Zhang Tie also jumped off the city wall. Before dealing with the small wound on his face, he had casually taken two double-handed swords weighing over 50 kg and jumped off the city wall.
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt like returning to the encirclement of demonized puppets in Ice and Snow Wilderness. At that time, the demonized puppets on Zhang Tie's side were like a lake. At this moment, those demonized puppets around him were like an ocean while those demon hunters and paladins with superb battle skills were the reefs in this ocean. The reefs separated seawater and waves. However, most of the seawater would still rush over these reefs towards the shore.
Zhang Tie didn't know how many demonized puppets he had killed. However, those demonized puppets kept rushing towards him one after another.
At daybreak, the accuracy of the steam centrifugal cannons in Mocco City started to improve while the frequency of demonized puppets' strikes started to decrease. Additionally, the density of demonized puppets' strike formation also became loose. After one night's hard battle, some exhausted demon hunters and paladins started to suffer casualties. Therefore, the demon hunters and paladins started to retreat.
In a place over 100 m away from Zhang Tie's left hand side, Zhang Tie was standing on the left. A paladin was surrounded by demonized puppets.
A demonized puppet whose waist had been chopped off was lying on the ground among a lot of corpses. However, when the paladin and those demonized puppets wanted to retreat back to the city, the surviving demonized puppet suddenly stabbed its dagger into the paladin's leg ferociously, causing a huge wound on the paladin's leg.
With a painful roar, the paladin blew up that demonized puppet's head. However, more demonized puppets poured in. The paladin who had been severely wounded after a night's battle was in danger at once.
Zhang Tie rushed over there while sweeping his two swords like a whirlwind, sending off a lot of heads of demonized puppets. Closely after that, he caught the waistband of that paladin and rushed towards Mocco City with that paladin.
On the way, Zhang Tie was stepping on those disgusting corpses of demonized puppets. Some alive demonized puppets wanted to attack Zhang Tie; however, they were all kicked into pieces by Zhang Tie. The closer he was to the city wall, the more corpses of demonized puppets he would see. Gradually, a hill of corpses was formed.
Watching Zhang Tie rushing over here with a paladin, all the garrisons on the city wall and those demon hunters and paladins who had just returned exclaimed at the same time. At the same time, all the intact ballistas and the scattered strike system in the city wall poured their firepower towards Zhang Tie's back, interrupting the chase of those demonized puppets.
At this moment, Zhang Tie and that paladin were the last ones to evacuate outside the city wall. Therefore, they attracted many people's attention.
"Ahh, it's inconvenient for you to go up there with me. Just throw me up there..." That paladin told Zhang Tie weakly.
"Catch..." Zhang Tie roared as he ran to the edge of the city wall and threw that paladin towards the top of the city wall.
Standing on the pile of corpses, Zhang Tie asked, "What's your name? I will pay you back if there's a chance."
Zhang Tie had not imagined that this guy was so interesting. Zhang Tie revealed a smile, "I'm Peter!"
"Fine, I will remember your name!" That paladin nodded seriously as he took in a deep breath while quivering his eyebrows.
After a short while, that medic had already cleaned his wounds with alcohol. After that, he started to sew up his wounds using fishhook-like needles and fish-gut sutures.
"Wait a moment!" Zhang Tie stopped that medic. After that, he took out of an all-purpose medicament from his pocket and passed it to that paladin, "You will recover faster with this!"
At the sight of that all-purpose medicament, that paladin called Robin, that medic and all the others' eyes gleamed at once.
"Ahh, all-purpose medicament!" Robin uttered a low exclamation. After licking his lips, he revealed a smile, "It seems that I'm lucky. Even if I have to escape in a couple of days, this leg would not be a burden to others."
After taking the bottle of all-purpose medicament, the medic carefully opened it and sniffed the mouth of the bottle in an intoxicated manner. After that, he daubed half of the medicament onto the wound. After that, he gave the other half to Robin. Robin immediately took it and drank it up.
After some treatment, the wounds were soon sewed up and bandaged. Plus the effect of the all-purpose medicament, Robin could already stand up.
Some paladins and demon hunters walked over here. They were powerhouses above LV 9 who had jumped off the city wall with Zhang Tie and fought demonized puppets outside the city last night. These days, they had helped to defend the city. Therefore, they had met each other for a few times. Although they didn't know their names, they were familiar with each other.
"Brothers, do you want to find a place to have a drink and take a rest?"
Zhang Tie glanced at the demonized puppets outside the city wall, then the turrets of ballistas which had been half-built overnight and the teams of fighters who were running onto the city wall with manual crossbows. Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside.
