Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

Chapter 123 The Defense Battle Begins


Shelter.

Lin Yi stood on the city wall, gazing at the mist.

"Don't tremble in fear! I spent so much money on this wall, it's not for nothing."

"But boss... what if the beastmen are stronger than us?"

"They're coming!"

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the wall of mist quickly dissipated, revealing an army composed of strange creatures.

"Ahhh! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Thousands of orange-skinned warriors began to howl, fiercely beating their wooden shields.

They wielded various crude weapons, nearly naked, wearing only tattered rags.

Only a few beastmen had armor, like a helmet or metal breastplate. They were all over 2 meters tall, with robust builds.

Looking at this army, Solomon was very surprised: "This lot?"

"They're just cannon fodder!" Lin Yi squinted his eyes.

Indeed, behind this disorderly army were a hundred warriors dressed in fine armor.

Their heads, torsos, and parts of their legs were protected by something resembling plate armor, their shoulders adorned with dozens of humanoid skulls.

Their weapons varied, including swords, bows, two-handed axes, or long spears... and some bizarre weapons never seen by humans.

Behind those hundred warriors were three shamans, dressed in the pelts of unknown animals, holding bone staffs.

They chanted a strange tune, causing the frontline warriors' faces to flush red with anger.

"Great master, by the command of Terghai, kill! Conquer! Plunder!"

The largest warrior roared angrily as the army charged towards the city wall.

Some warriors carried logs, intending to use them to scale the netted barricade.

But they were too naive!

"Aim for the ones with the logs and ranged weapons! Watch out for the thrown long spears, open fire!"

Lin Yi raised his hand, issuing the command.

In an instant, countless firearms spat tongues of fire, bullets raining down lethally upon the approaching enemies.

The beastmen carrying logs were the first to be hit, thrown into disarray by the concentrated firepower.

A soldier, sweeping away a beastman charging towards the wall, shouted loudly.

"Ha! Bullets work! These guys aren't so scary after all, hahahaha!"

Beastmen were larger and had greater endurance than humans, but faced with dozens of 9mm bullets—

Height was no help!

The beastmen groaned as they fell to the ground.

The entire beastmen frontline was in the same condition.

Submachine guns and assault rifles were extremely effective against the near-naked bodies of the beastmen.

Occasionally, a bullet would hit armor and still penetrate directly.

Although the power of the bullets would be halved, potentially non-lethal, it still caused the beastmen immense pain, bleeding, and panic.

The beastmen dragged the logs to the city wall, crashing them against it, but to no effect.

The city wall didn't budge, not even a speck of dirt fell.

They attempted to climb over, but any beastman close to the wall was immediately riddled with bullets from the warriors' powerful firepower.

Seeing this scene, the beastman commander roared.

"What's going on?! Where did these walls come from?! The scouts didn't report this!"

"The target must be wealthy; he built these walls in time. Command the warriors to join the battle, they'll deal with that gate quickly!"

A shaman, standing beside the commander, spoke, then began to cast a spell.

In an instant, the hundred warriors gained immense power!

They joined the battle, charging towards the gate.

More than thirty beastmen transformed into powerful monsters. Some beastmen shot magic arrows, while others used telekinesis to hurl stones at the city wall.

Even among the beastmen, there were professionals!

Lin Yi watched this scene coldly, unperturbed, issuing new orders based on the changes on the battlefield.

"All professionals, machine gunners, concentrate fire! Target the armored beastmen, take down the archers and mages, they're your primary targets!"

The battle intensified...

Both sides ceaselessly attacked each other with magic and arrows.

Beastified beastmen charged towards the gate.

They grabbed the city wall, starting to climb, and while soldiers tried to eliminate them first, some still managed to scale the wall.

At this point, the shelter began to suffer casualties.

But such incidents were rare.

Once the beastmen reached the wall, they were already heavily injured, so the massacre they anticipated never transpired.

After a few movements, they were quickly taken down by our beastification professionals.

The walls had steel shooting holes, and soldiers continuously fired magic arrows and skills through these openings.

Meanwhile, most of the beastmen's ranged damage was absorbed by the shooting-hole walls, minimizing soldier casualties.

Although some soldiers were injured, there were others ready to fill in quickly.

We had no less than eight machine guns!

The machine gunners didn't even check if a certain beastman had armor, they just swept through.

Because these bullets easily pierced beastmen armor and bodies.

The beastmen only attacked a section of the city wall near the gate, so the battle didn't fiercely unfold along the entire kilometer-long segment.

It was only concentrated in a 300-400 meter area.

This didn't mean Lin Yi hadn't fortified elsewhere on the city walls, but most soldiers were deployed to the battle's focal point.

"Boss, should we use the killing cocktail to roast them and have them rolling around in panic?"

Solomon asked as he loaded the tenth magazine into his assault rifle.

He was a bit concerned about the ammunition supply.

"Not yet, the battle is progressing well, we've nearly eliminated all the enemy professionals, those small fry are basically no threat."

The boss looked at the battlefield, continuing to comment: "Look at these beastmen, they're quite experienced in siege warfare, they must have plundered numerous otherworldly realms."

In the battlefield, some beastmen managed to move logs to the city wall, attempting to bash open the gate.

Several beastmen tried to throw grappling hooks onto the city wall but failed.

The beastmen even brought out a giant wooden ladder, which the fire mage incinerated along with the beastmen.

One beastman tried to pile up his comrades' corpses to climb to the top of the wall, only to be shot right between the eyes, ending his attempt.

Realizing they could never scale the wall, the beastmen focused all their efforts on the gate.

Even the beastmen commander transformed into a 4-meter-tall creature, resembling a rhino.

Granted permission by the boss, Solomon used the long-awaited killing cocktail.

Three Molotov cocktails arced through the air, exploding into blue flames at the rhino creature's feet, the sound of breaking glass mingling with the beastmen's terrified screams.

It taught this rhino creature to be reborn as a human in its next life and burned it into a smoldering corpse.

As Lin Yi watched the ashes scatter, he suddenly felt the boundary between life and death seemed so blurred in this space-time battle...
