My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

After the cannons were completed, a red glow visibly began to gather at the muzzle.

All the Awakened Ones present could feel an immense amount of energy gathering at the cannon muzzle. They were secretly alarmed; if such energy were to explode, those nearby would surely be reduced to nothing.

The dazzling red light shot out from the cannon's muzzle, streaking high into the sky like a shooting star before crashing into the demonic tide.

The demonic tide had reached the mountainside, only a kilometer or two from the shelter. A crimson light crashed down, accompanied by a violent tremor and a deafening explosion that rang in everyone's ears. Orange-red flames burst forth within the demonic tide, like flower stamens leaping in lava.

Stunning, yet deadly.

The demonic beast in the very center instantly turned into black ash, leaving no trace of its remains... Tang Yu was a little heartbroken, since the demonic beast's materials were worth some money after all.

The extreme heat, shockwave, flame damage, and the powerful energy that erupted in that instant created a large hole in the dark, surging tide of demons.

The cannons didn't fire very fast, but after a few shots, the entire demonic tide looked like a tattered rag. The demonic tide that had been weighing heavily on the survivors' hearts, making it hard to breathe, didn't seem so scary anymore.

Of course, the survivors knew that this was just a temporary illusion, or that Director Tang's abilities were too terrifying. A cannon that he casually conjured could cause such casualties to the demonic tide.

among them.

People like Chen Haiping, who experienced the demonic tide and survived by sheer luck, understand this all too well.

Many shelters destroyed by the demonic tide probably suffered less damage to the demonic beasts than they did in this one attack, even until the shelters were completely destroyed.

The crisis was far from over. The mutated beasts had already leaped onto the small square, only a few hundred meters away from Tang Yu, and their numbers remained astonishing.

A humanoid demonic beast with blood-red fleshy wings and horns on its head emerged from the demonic tide. It was extremely fast, and with a single flap of its wings, it could travel more than ten or twenty meters.

The ordinary survivors didn't understand, but the awakened ones on the city wall all looked solemn. They sensed an extremely powerful aura emanating from this winged demonic beast.

This is a demonic beast capable of wiping out an entire squad.

Often, an entire squad composed entirely of Awakened Ones would be wiped out if they encountered a demonized beast of this level in the wild; no one would be able to escape.

All the awakened ones, including those who had joined the patrol and those who hadn't, understood that even all of them combined might not be a match for this demonic beast. While the cannons were incredibly powerful, their speed was ultimately too slow; given the speed of this team-annihilating demonic beast, a hit from the cannons was virtually impossible.

call out--

The ear-piercing sound almost ripped their eardrums. The awakened ones were stunned, only to see a hazy cloud of blood mist appear in the arena.

Blood mist?

What about a team-wiping demonic beast?

What exactly happened in Wardfa? How could this team-annihilating demonic beast disappear in the blink of an eye, leaving only a cloud of blood mist gradually dissipating?

Their minds went blank for a moment, then another sound rang out. Some of the sharp-eyed Awakened Ones saw a dark shadow flash by in the air.

The dark shadow pierced through numerous obstacles, leaving a white trail barely visible to the naked eye in the air. At the end of the shadow, a relatively powerful demonic beast, running at the forefront of the demonic tide, exploded into a blood mist.

The speed was so fast that even the naked eye of an awakened being could not see it clearly.

Someone kept a close eye on the few demonic beasts at the front and finally managed to catch a glimpse of them.

The arrow pierced through the head of the demonized beast. Under the powerful penetrating and compressive force, the entire demonized beast first deformed, and then was squeezed until it exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

This feeling is as if the demonic beast is just a balloon.

It breaks with just one poke!

The ordinary survivors were speechless, their mouths agape as air rushed into their mouths, choking them. Yet they still stared intently, never imagining that the mutated beast could be dealt with so easily!

In front of the city wall.

Tang Yu felt a pang of heartache. Couldn't we save some effort? Couldn't we leave some spoils for ourselves?!

…………

The most terrifying aspect of the demonic tide is its sheer number.

While the arrow towers and cannons were indeed terrifyingly powerful, the demonic tide still managed to slowly approach the city walls.

Tang Yu retreated to the edge of the city wall, chose a spot, and built an arrow tower at his feet.

As the arrow tower rose, Tang Yu was lifted up and then lightly leaped onto the city wall.

Luo Zhe also used the momentum to leap onto the city wall, leaving only a few awakened individuals and a few basic puppets below.

The faces of those men turned deathly pale instantly.

Boom!

The mutated beasts surged onto the small square halfway up the mountain, roaring, and soon crashed into the city wall.

The survivors were terrified, fearing that the city wall would not be able to withstand the pressure.

Someone half-covered their eyes and peeked down, saying, "Thank goodness, the city wall is sturdy."

"Something's not right," someone with sharp eyes exclaimed, startling their companion.

The man pointed downwards, "Not only is the city wall undamaged, but the demonic beast's claws have been broken off!"

With so many demonic beasts, they had previously worried whether the city walls could withstand them. After all, demonic beasts have sharp claws and strong bodies, so powerful that they can even knock down a building. These tall city walls might not be very safe.

But who would have thought that the demonic beasts would charge forward one after another, crashing into the city wall with a thud. The city wall remained undamaged, while some of the demonic beasts were injured, and others were dizzy from the impact. Chaos ensued, turning into a situation of beasts trampling each other.

This is probably... a stampede.

Tang Yu was still shaken. Luckily, he managed to get up here. He had stayed in front just now because he wanted to absorb more soul power!

As a lord, he can also absorb the soul power of the demonic beasts killed by the defensive buildings, but the amount he absorbs is much smaller, probably only a small ten or twenty percent, which is still quite good.

On the city wall, Chen Haiping also began to organize the patrol team members to fight back.

The guns have been distributed. These men are terrible marksmen, but in this situation, there's no need to aim at all.

Da da da—

The gun spat out flames, and bullets whizzed across the mutated beast, splattering blood everywhere.

Lu Xiaopeng was surprised, "These demonic beasts really do have very thick fur."

He had just seen the arrow tower easily blast the demonized beast into a bloody mist with a single arrow, and he thought that these demonized beasts were relatively weak, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

To deal with a normal awakened level 1 demonic beast, unless you can hit a vital spot, given the demonic beast's vitality, even emptying a magazine might not be enough to kill it.

If it's a demonic beast that has awakened to the second or third level, it's even more terrifying, and only sniper rifle bullets can kill it relatively easily.

Lu Xiaopeng glanced to the side and saw Chen Haiping holding a sniper rifle. A bullet was fired, and a large, bowl-sized hole was torn open in the body of a demonic beast with a strong aura. However, since it did not hit a vital spot, the demonic beast struggled and did not die.

He glanced at the other side; the arrow towers were still firing continuously, each arrow taking down a demonic beast. Occasionally, some more resilient beasts wouldn't die from a single arrow, but that was simply a matter of another arrow.

This arrow tower is not only incredibly powerful, but it can also aim for vital points. It's simply... Lu Xiaopeng didn't know how to describe it. Are ability users really this monstrous? Don't they give people a way to survive?

Amidst the demonic tide, some powerful beings leaped onto the city wall, nearly causing casualties. Fortunately, Luo Zhe and two puppet guards each defended a section of the wall, and whenever a powerful demonic beast leaped up, it was quickly spotted and killed.

With the city walls providing defense and arrow towers and cannons firing, the demonic tide, which was originally enough to destroy the sanctuary, was gradually worn away.

The survivors, having escaped death, collapsed to the ground.

The patrol team members were also trembling, leaning against the battlements, looking at the corpses of the mutated beasts scattered all over the ground below, still somewhat incredulous.

The demonic tide was resolved just like that.
