Battering rams were meant to be used against the walls. They had the advantage of being on high ground, and the javelins they were equipped with were amplified by the force of the enemy. As such, when ten battering rams were set up at the entrances of the corridors, the pressure on the generals responsible for defending the entrances was greatly reduced. ↑
At this moment, the number of monsters that could reach the entrances of the corridors was greatly reduced. The sixty or so generals that had been stationed at the entrances of the corridors were barely enough. With the help of the battering rams and javelins, most of the generals were left idle.
In this way, these generals could take turns to rest, and the defenses of the eight corridors were instantly stabilized.
The success of the battering rams also gave Yang Rui a flash of inspiration. He thought of another tool and immediately put it to practical use.
This tool was known as a battering ram. Yang Rui might not have specially prepared one, but there were plenty of them in the Castle in the Sky. Yang Rui had obtained them when he participated in the storyline of the Nihon civilization. Now was the perfect time to use them.
Battering rams varied in length. Based on the size of the second floor of the colosseum, Yang Rui chose some of the shorter battering rams and ordered every ten Fourth Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers to use one battering ram. They aimed the battering rams at the entrances of the corridors and participated in the defense of the entrances.
Just like the battering rams, the battering rams were also tools specifically used for sieges. They were meant to be used against city gates. It was equivalent to gathering the strength of all the soldiers using the battering rams. Even the sturdiest city gates could be opened by continuous battering. Now that Yang Rui had aimed the battering rams at the entrances of the corridors, their power was not to be underestimated.
Each battering ram was jointly held by ten Fourth Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers. At the very least, it could temporarily replace a high-grade general without any problems. Ten to twenty battering rams were placed at every entrance of the corridors. Most of the high-grade generals had been replaced.
Thus, the high-grade generals that were free only needed to support the battering rams from the sides and ensure the safety of the soldiers using the battering rams. This made the defense of the entrances much easier.
Under Yang Rui's unique approach, the defense of the eight corridors suddenly became effective and a little strange. The battering rams and battering rams that were supposed to be used during the siege actually formed the main defense of the corridors!
The ten battering rams at the entrance of the corridor were equivalent to ten mobile arrow towers. The ten to twenty battering rams were equivalent to a temporary fence. The number of monsters that could rush up to the second floor of the colosseum was effectively controlled.
It was such a bizarre scene. Death Island's NPC leaders, who were watching the battle from the upper levels of the Colosseum, could not help but click their tongues in wonder. Many of them had participated in the defense against the Beast Tide countless times, yet they had never seen such a scene.
At the same time, the NPC leaders were once again shocked by Yang Rui's defensive efficiency. In the past, when monster hordes occurred, most of the NPC forces on Death Island had been focused on defending the lower floors. In reality, aerial attacks had only taken up a small portion of the island's NPC forces.
However, at this moment, Yang Rui was fully capable of defending the lower floors by himself. Moreover, he did not seem to be going all out. How could the NPC leaders not be surprised and in awe?
In fact, during the initial stage of the monster hordes, there would not be any aerial threats at all. Only after the monster hordes had occurred for a period of time would there be flying monsters. Only then would flying monsters appear. Usually, it would take a day.
Yang Rui was also aware of this information. However, in the end, Yang Rui still chose to defend the lower floors of the Colosseum. Judging from the current situation, Yang Rui's choice was undoubtedly correct.
After all, although there were fewer monsters in the air, it was more convenient for the other civilizations to deal with them. With Yang Rui's military composition, it would not be easy for him to deal with the "air force" above. On the contrary, he might very well be disorganized due to the lack of means to deal with them. It was also possible that a large number of casualties would occur.
The encounter on Death Island and the monster hordes also reminded Yang Rui that Yang Rui still needed to improve his air force and "air defense". Or rather, it would be more appropriate to look for an opportunity to start.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Hum! Hum! Hum … "
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft … "
"Clang! Clang … "
"Roar …"
The battle in the entire Colosseum was chaotic yet orderly. The chaos was due to the large number of monsters rubbing shoulders and running around in a mess. The long roars and short cries never stopped, so much so that Yang Rui and the others had to use semaphore to transmit information.
The order was due to the swarming monster hordes. Yang Rui's defense system on the second and third floors of the Colosseum was impregnable and did not seem to be shaken at all. No matter how violent the monster hordes were, they could only be killed and turned into light to become Yang Rui's experience points and points.
To Yang Rui, this was a sumptuous feast for him to plunder experience and points!
This was especially so in terms of points. Ever since the monster hordes broke out, Yang Rui's rise in the points rankings was unstoppable.
In the half an hour since the monster hordes appeared, Yang Rui's points had rushed from the initial tenth place to the top five. After another fifteen minutes, Yang Rui was already ranked second on the rankings. He had successfully killed the player from the Indian civilization region, Gugarde. He was only twenty thousand points lower than the player from the Slavic civilization region who was ranked first.
At this moment, in a corner of the Foreign Realm, Gugarde's expression had become very dark. Although he had clearly stated that his current main goal was to find the Indian civilization's sacred relic, when he was really surpassed, it was inevitable that he would feel unbalanced.
In another region, Peter was commanding a large group of cavalry to kill monsters with all their might. At the same time, his brows were knitted into a line, causing his originally very handsome face to have an additional layer of darkness and ferocity.
This was because Yang Rui was no longer the opponent that Peter had thought he was. Yang Rui had created a sweeping momentum on the mission points rankings. Moreover, this wave was about to smash Peter's small boat. This required not only a certain amount of strength, but also super strength!
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the huge wave that Yang Rui had set off had completely swallowed him up!
During this period, although Peter had been leading the cavalry to charge left and right in an attempt to maintain his position at the top of the leaderboard, it was completely futile. In the turbulent trend of Yang Rui plundering points, Peter's efficiency was completely unsightly …
"Is he even human?!"
By a small stream in the Foreign Realm, Tracer Dragon Soul, who was resting and getting water, opened the points rankings and looked again at Yang Rui's jumping points like a stopwatch. The muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch as he spoke.
At this moment, only some of the old faces from the Three Kingdoms civilization region who were relatively familiar with Yang Rui could understand Yang Rui's craziness. However, they also didn't expect him to be this crazy. He was completely in a state where he could kill all his opponents in an instant!
For the first time, Yang Rui easily climbed to the top of the player's points rankings in the Foreign Realm Tournament, and all of this was far from over. This was only the beginning of the Beast Tide. As more and more monsters poured into the Beast Arena, Yang Rui's speed of plundering points never slowed down.
Time ticked by. Yang Rui continued to move forward. After defeating all the opponents on the leaderboard, he started to soar. He was several streets away from Peter, the player from the Slavic civilization who was originally at the top of the leaderboard. However, in the blink of an eye, he was already too far behind to catch up.
"Isn't this a little too eye-catching?"
In the Beast Arena, Yang Rui, who was on the second floor, had been defending for one and a half hours. He was already a little tired of the Beast Tide's attacks.
During this process, the nature of the Beast Tide didn't change much. The monsters that appeared in the base plane were still at the Beginner General level. Yang Rui's defensive line was still operating effectively. Therefore, Yang Rui had the time to look at the points rankings.
Although Yang Rui had already expected this, Yang Rui still didn't expect the situation on the rankings. Currently, his mission points had reached nearly 3,000,000 points, which was more than twice the points of the second place Peter. It was almost equivalent to the total points of the second to fifth place on the rankings.
At the same time, Yang Rui knew very well that this was just the beginning!
Putting aside the situation of the points, Yang Rui had already arrived at the top of the colosseum, where the three elders were seated. Regarding the matter of the beast horde and Death Island, Yang Rui had a question to ask the three elders. Perhaps it would be of some help in solving the root cause of the beast horde and how to leave Death Island.
Previously, Yang Rui had also asked about this when he communicated with Messenger Alger. However, no matter how he looked at it, Alger didn't seem to know much. He only mentioned the three leaders, and it seemed like the three of them knew more about it.
"Lord Blazing Sun, thank you for your hard work. Please accept the respect of the three of us and all the Liegeman on Death Island …"
As soon as Yang Rui approached, the three leaders immediately stood up and expressed their respect to Yang Rui.
They had seen Yang Rui's performance, including all the NPCs on the island. With Yang Rui's sharp attack and defense, these people were, of course, very moved. At this time, the three leaders' words were sincere.
