2092 The great battle begins (1)
After the manpower issue was resolved, area 153 was like a huge meat grinder that began to reap the lives of the sea monsters.
Sea monsters appeared all the time, which also meant a steady stream of battle merits.
Looking at the rapid increase in battle merits, the believers were filled with excitement, and they were all full of fighting spirit.
With Tang Zhen’s meticulous arrangements, it was simply too easy to obtain battle merits. If they were to defend another area, they would not even be able to think about such a thing.
Even if the believers risked their lives and fought the sea monsters, they might not get so many battle merits.
The importance of a platform could be seen from this. Compared to it, one’s own efforts were even somewhat insignificant.
Although the number of sea monsters was increasing, it was still not the time of true danger. The believers also had enough time to rest.
The sea monsters that appeared at this time were basically wild monsters that swam in the coastal areas. As for the high-level monsters in the depths of the ocean, there were no traces of them yet.
It would take some time for the fruit to reach the deep sea. The Army of sea monsters that arrived first might not be attracted by the fruit, but they would definitely be unable to resist the temptation of the fruit and devour it.
At that moment, the battle would truly begin.
Ever since Tang Zhen had climbed up the city wall, he did not go down. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the stone tower at the peak of the mountain and looked down at the entire defense area.
He would not easily intervene in the battle. Instead, he handed the command over to Sun Jun, and he was only responsible for replenishing ammunition.
In a divine Kingdom without night, it was easy for people to lose their sense of time, and they didn’t know how much time had passed.
As time went by, the believers could no longer remember how many sea monsters they had killed. They only knew that the discarded bullet shells had piled up like a mountain.
The fanatical believers who had been summoned here now had a new mission, which was to transport the bullet shells to the temple in exchange for military credits.
Defense area 153 was not short of war credits. This was just to dispose of the garbage so that the defense area would not be covered by bullet shells.
The things that Tang Zhen didn’t care about were rare good things to others.
The metal used to make the shell was an excellent forging material that could be completely recycled.
After the temple was recycled, it could be smelted again and exchanged for believers in other defense areas.
Everything in the divine Kingdom needed to be conjured with energy. Without the exchange of battle merits, even spiriters had no right to conjure.
Therefore, the Grand temple had been in business for a long time, and the recycled sea monster materials were proof of this.
As defense area 153 was madly farming for Battle Points, the other defense areas turned their attention to this area again. They had watched the entire process through the live broadcast of the transmission stone.
Looking at the madly increasing Battle Points, the spectators were both envious and jealous. They secretly made up their minds that they had to find a way to imitate this fighting style.
There were many talented people in the various defense areas. Even if they could not do what Tang Zhen did, they could try their best to imitate him.
In the past, they were just lacking in thought, and 99% of the time, they were on the defensive. They had never been like Tang Zhen, who dared to take the initiative to attack the sea monster.
Those who dared to do so were all super experts, and ordinary believers had no chance to participate at all.
Now that they had a target to imitate, it wouldn’t take long for each defense area to develop the corresponding means and hunt more sea monsters.
After about three days, the temple, which had just been upgraded not long ago, began to upgrade again.
According to Tang Zhen’s settings, as long as the battle merits reached a certain standard, the temple would automatically upgrade.
This was a good thing. Every time the temple automatically upgraded, it would bring a huge boost of confidence to the believers.
Sure enough, when the temple expanded again, the believers who witnessed the scene cheered, as if all their fatigue was swept away.
Tang Zhen saw the upgrading process of the temple but did not care too much. According to his understanding, the temple’s upgrade seemed to have no end.
As long as they had enough battle merits, they could continue to level up. This way, the believers would maintain a competitive mentality.
However, leveling up a temple was not as easy as one might imagine. The higher the temple’s level, the more difficult it would be to level up. When the temple reached a certain level, the leveling requirement would be in the hundreds of millions.
Some areas spent decades and still couldn’t accumulate enough battle merits to upgrade the temple again.
At the same time, the level of the temple directly represented the strength of the defense area.
Originally, area 153 could only be considered as the weakest area. However, with the recent upgrades, it had gradually entered the intermediate area.
The spectators were already mentally prepared for the continuous leveling up of area 153. With such a terrifying hunting method, it would be strange if their levels didn’t increase rapidly.
Under the attention of countless gazes, the battle continued.
Countless sea monsters were killed, and their corpses were all devoured by the giant trees, leaving a layer of grayish-white residue on the beach.
The beach, which was originally covered with gravel, was now a vast expanse of white. It looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Even the seawater had turned into a clear blue color under the filtering of the roots. It was exceptionally beautiful under the sunlight.
It was a pity that the sea monsters that kept appearing destroyed this beautiful scenery, so no one was in the mood to appreciate it.
After a long wait, the sea monster army finally appeared.
The first monster that appeared in his field of vision was still the giant sea beast that transported the sea monsters. It could be seen from far away.
They almost filled up the ocean and flew towards the shore, setting off waves that were dozens of meters high.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that these sea monsters moved in almost no order, and they were in a state of competition.
On the bodies of these giant sea beasts, there were countless sea monster soldiers. Their eyes were blood red as they stared at the giant tree behind the city wall.
One look at their state and one could tell that they had obviously swallowed the fruit and fallen into a state of madness.
Behind these giant sea beasts, there were countless sea monsters. They were not as fast as the giant sea beasts, but they were desperately swimming forward.
Not all of these sea monsters belonged to the sea monster army. There were also wild monsters that came from nearby, and because they were moving in the same direction, they eventually gathered together.
The entire ocean seemed to have been dyed black by ink, but in fact, there were sea monsters everywhere.
The believers who had been waiting for a long time immediately perked up at Sun Jun’s roar, and the cannons that had been silent for a long time began to roar again.
All of a sudden, countless water pillars rose from the sea. The charging sea monsters were hit by cannonballs, and the broken flesh and blood of the corpses and the waves of the sea were flying wantonly.
Even in the face of the heavy fire and countless casualties, these sea monsters continued to charge forward, not caring about the threat of death at all.
In the face of the sea monsters that filled their vision, the attack power of the cannons began to show signs of weakness. Even though the believers fired with all their might, they still could not intercept the sea monsters.
Tang Zhen’s brows were slightly knitted when he noticed this scene.
Although he knew that these sea monsters were not enough to pose a fatal threat to the city wall, he could not ignore them.
As the beast lure fruit played its role, high-level sea monsters could attack at any time, and the current number of cannons could no longer meet the needs of war.
Tang Zhen turned around and entered the interior of the mountain peak when he thought of this. He arrived in front of those reserved gaps in the rock wall.
The opening in the rock wall faced the sea. As long as the cannons were placed there, they could completely block the sea in front of the defense area.
There was no need to aim or adjust the angle. As long as the sea monster army entered the predetermined area, they could harvest the sea monsters.
As this thought rose in Tang Zhen’s mind, many weapons similar to multi-barrel rocket cannons blocked the position where the gap was.
These cannons were fixed in place and connected to each other, making it easy to control and fire.
It didn’t require a lot of manpower to load the shells, but a complicated device to complete it to ensure the continuity of the firepower.
When the multi-barrel cannons on both sides of the mountain were activated, the entire sea surface would be covered, and the sea monsters would have no chance of returning!
