Chapter 425: City of Fire 3
Lin Zhi stood on the walls of the Fire City, gazing at the dense, surging Zerg horde in the distance, a complex wave of emotions welled up in her heart. Yan Jun stood by, gripping his weapon tightly, his gaze determined. "Lin Zhi, this battle will be difficult, but we must defend the Fire City."
Lin Zhi took a deep breath. "Yes, this is one of humanity's last strongholds. The Zerg are coming out in full force this time. I'm afraid there's some conspiracy."
Zhang Ying ran up from behind, panting, and said, "Intelligence shows that the Zerg seem to want to concentrate their forces to break through our defenses and then directly attack the human command center."
Yan Jun frowned, "Then we have to find a way to disrupt their plans."
At this time, the Zerg army was approaching, led by the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai. Wang Jun roared loudly: "Humanity, today is your doom!"
Lin Zhi sneered, "Just you guys? You're still far from it!"
A fierce battle soon ensued between the two sides. The four Zerg siblings, Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, also rushed forward, brandishing their sharp claws as they engaged the human soldiers.
Lin Zhi seized the opportunity and rushed towards Wang Jun with sword in hand. Wang Jun was not afraid and engaged Lin Zhi in a fierce battle. Lin Zhi's swordsmanship was fierce, and Wang Jun responded with fierce strength.
"Do you think you can stop us Zerg?" Wang Jun shouted while attacking.
"As long as I'm here, don't even think about getting over there!" Lin Zhi responded.
Yan Jun was also busy, fighting with Wang Kai in a close battle. Wang Kai was very powerful, and every attack of his was powerful.
"Human power is too small!" Wang Kai laughed.
"What's insignificant is your ambition!" Yan Jun roared and fought hard.
Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan commanded the archers on the city wall, firing continuously at the Zerg. Zerg soldiers fell one after another, but they continued to advance.
Li Yu was agile, dodging many arrows and charging towards the city wall. Zhang Yuan shouted, "Be careful!" Hua Yuan immediately turned around and blocked Li Yu's attack with his weapon.
"You bugs, don't even think about getting close to the city wall!" Hua Yuan shouted.
"Human defense is vulnerable!" Li? retorted.
The battlefield was filled with shouts and cries of killing, and the ground was stained red with blood. Lin Zhi gradually became exhausted, and Wang Jun's attacks became more and more fierce.
"It seems that you are about to die!" Wang Jun said proudly.
Lin Zhi gritted his teeth, suddenly burst out with a powerful force, and stabbed Wang Jun with a sword. Wang Jun didn't expect Lin Zhi to have this trick, and quickly retreated to avoid it.
At the same time, Yan Jun also seized the opportunity, kicked Wang Kai away, and then quickly met up with Lin Zhi.
"What should we do now?" Yan Jun asked.
Lin Zhi panted and said, "We can't be so passive anymore. We have to find a way to give them a fatal blow."
Zhang Ying shouted from the side, "I have an idea! We can use the beacon towers in the Fire City to create a large-scale fire attack. Maybe we can disrupt the Zerg formation."
Lin Zhi's eyes lit up, "Good idea! Arrange for preparations immediately."
Soon, the human soldiers began to work, lighting the beacon tower. A blazing fire instantly ignited, illuminating the entire battlefield.
The Zerg were startled by the sudden fire and their formation began to become somewhat chaotic.
Lin Zhi shouted: "Brothers, charge! Now is the time!"
Human soldiers rushed down the city walls and engaged in close combat with the Zerg. Under the illumination of the flames, the battle became more intense.
Wang Jun roared loudly, trying to stabilize the Zerg's position, but the fire was too big and many Zerg soldiers were burned.
"Damn human!" Wang Jun cursed.
Li Hua saw that the situation was not good and said to Li Li, "We have to find a way to put out this fire."
Li Li nodded, and the two sisters rushed towards the beacon tower. Hua Yuan discovered their intention and hurried over to stop them.
"Want to get over there? Not that easy!" Hua Yuan shouted.
Li Hua and Li Li started a battle with Hua Yuan, and it was difficult to determine the winner for a while.
On the other side, Linzhi and Yanjun led their soldiers into the Zerg army and gradually gained the upper hand.
"Hold on! Victory is just around the corner!" Linzhi shouted.
The Zerg's offensive was getting weaker and weaker. Wang Jun and Wang Kai saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat.
"Retreat!" Wang Jun shouted.
The Zerg army began to flee backwards, but the human soldiers pursued them and did not give them a chance to breathe.
In the end, under the attack of flames and human soldiers, the Zerg's attack was successfully repelled.
On the walls of the City of Fire, the soldiers cheered.
Lin Zhi looked at the Zerg army retreating and breathed a sigh of relief. "We've managed to hold on this time, but we can't let our guard down. The Zerg will definitely attack again."
Yan Jun nodded, "Yes, we must strengthen our defenses and prepare for more intense battles."
Zhang Ying also came over. "Although we won this battle, the price was not small. We need to rest and replenish our troops and supplies."
Everyone understands that the road ahead is still long and the war with the Zerg is far from over.
Follow-up 500 words:
In the days that followed, Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, Zhang Ying and others led the human soldiers in actively preparing for defense. They reinforced the city walls, developed new weapons, trained soldiers, and worked hard to improve the defense capabilities of the Fire City.
The Zerg weren't idle either, secretly gathering strength and planning their next, even more violent attack. Wang Jun and Wang Kai constantly encouraged the Zerg soldiers, while Li Yu, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li also assisted in the training.
One day, Linzhi received a mysterious intelligence report that the Zerg seemed to be researching a new weapon with great power. Once successfully developed, it would pose a fatal threat to the Fire City.
Linzhi immediately summoned Yan Jun and Zhang Ying to discuss countermeasures.
"It seems we have to act in advance and find a way to disrupt their research," said Lin Zhi.
Yan Jun frowned, "But we don't know where their research site is. It would be dangerous to act rashly."
Zhang Ying thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can find a breakthrough from within the Zerg. Maybe we can find some clues."
So, they began to secretly arrange personnel to sneak into the Zerg territory. After a difficult investigation, they finally discovered the research site of the Zerg's new weapons.
Lin Zhi decided to personally lead a team of elite soldiers to sabotage the situation. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they quietly approached the research site. However, the Zerg's defenses were more rigorous than expected.
Just as they were about to act, they were discovered by Zerg soldiers, and a fierce battle broke out instantly.
Lin Zhi and others fought hard and fought a desperate battle with the Zerg soldiers. During the battle, Lin Zhi discovered a key control device. As long as it was destroyed, the development of new weapons could be stopped.
He rushed forward desperately, and after a fierce confrontation, he finally succeeded in destroying the control device.
Research on new weapons was forced to be interrupted, and the Zerg, enraged, intensified their harassment of the Fire City. However, humanity, with its tenacious will and wisdom, repeatedly repelled the Zerg's attacks.
Looking at the Zerg army surging in the distance, his brows furrowed. Yan Jun wiped the sharp blade in his hand, his eyes revealing determination.
"This time the Zerg's attack is more fierce than before, we have to be careful." Yan Jun said.
Lin Zhi nodded. "Well, they seem to have noticed some of our weaknesses. I'm afraid we'll have a tough battle this time."
Zhang Ying ran up the city wall, panting heavily, "Boss, there seems to be new movement from the Zerg. They've split into several groups and are heading in different directions."
Lin Zhi's eyes glared. "Inform all defense points to prepare and keep a close eye on the Zerg's movements."
At this time, the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, leading a group of Zerg warriors, were approaching the Fire City with great momentum. Wang Jun roared loudly, "Brothers, capture the Fire City and enjoy all the resources inside!"
The four Zerg siblings, Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, were also in the group. Li? shouted, "Brothers and sisters, this time we must crush the humans!"
Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan were in charge of logistics in the city. Seeing the Zerg outside the city walls, they couldn't help but feel worried. Hua Yuan said, "I hope we can hold on this time, otherwise everyone will suffer."
Zhang Yuan clenched his fists and said, "We must also be prepared to support the front line at any time."
The Zerg army was getting closer and closer, and the human soldiers on the city wall were ready for battle. Lin Zhi shouted, "Prepare to shoot!"
Suddenly, arrows rained down, hitting the Zerg warriors one after another, but they continued to charge forward regardless. Wang Jun waved his huge claws, knocking away the arrows shot at him, "Charge! Don't be afraid!"
Wang Kai followed closely behind, making sharp calls to encourage the Zerg warriors.
As the Zerg approached the wall, they began to climb. The human soldiers engaged them in close combat with spears and swords. Yan Jun wielded his blade, hacking at the Zerg as they climbed up the wall.
"Kill!" Yan Jun roared, blood splattered all over his face.
Lin Zhi also joined the battle, his sword flashing with cold light, and every swing could kill several Zergs.
In the fierce battle, the human soldiers gradually began to feel exhausted. The Zerg were simply too numerous. Lin Zhi shouted, "Activate the backup defense system!"
As the order was given, energy barriers appeared on the city walls, temporarily blocking the Zerg's offensive.
When the four Zerg siblings saw the energy barrier, Li Hua said, "What is this? It's a bit tricky."
Li Li frowned, "Don't worry about it, just keep attacking!"
They led the Zerg warriors to frantically hit the energy barrier, trying to break through.
On the other side, Wang Jun and Wang Kai discovered a relatively weak spot in the city wall, and they commanded the Zerg to concentrate their forces to attack.
"Rush over there!" Wang Jun shouted.
The Zerg swarmed forward and continuously attacked the defense line.
In the city, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan heard the fierce fighting coming from the front line and became extremely anxious.
"No, we have to do something." Zhang Yuan said.
Hua Yuan nodded and said, "Go find some materials that can strengthen the defense and send them to the front line."
The two men immediately took action and searched around the city for usable supplies.
At the front, the energy barrier began to fluctuate under the constant onslaught of the Zerg. Seeing this, Lin Zhi shouted, "Everyone hold on! Mages, prepare to unleash your magic!"
A group of mages stood on the city wall and began to chant spells, and powerful magical lights shot towards the Zerg.
The Zerg were hit by magic and suddenly fell into chaos, but they still did not retreat.
Wang Jun saw the magic attack and roared loudly: "Don't be scared by them, rush over!"
At this moment, a huge Zerg monster slowly walked out from behind, emitting a terrifying aura.
"What is that?" Yan Jun asked in surprise.
Lin Zhi's face was solemn. "Oh no! It's an elite Zerg monster. Everyone, be careful!"
The elite monster opened its bloody mouth and spewed out black flames. Wherever it went, human soldiers and Zerg warriors were burned to ashes.
"Disperse!" Lin Zhi shouted.
The human soldiers hurried to dodge, but many were still injured.
The four Zerg siblings were very excited when they saw the elite monster appear.
"With it, we can definitely capture the City of Fire!" said Li.
The elite monster rushed towards the city wall. Its body was extremely hard and it easily broke through part of the energy barrier.
"Oh no, the defense line is about to be breached!" Yan Jun shouted.
Lin Zhi gritted his teeth, "All melee personnel, focus on attacking its weak points!"
The human soldiers rushed towards the elite monster, attacking it with various weapons. Yan Jun seized the opportunity and stabbed the elite monster's eyes with a sword.
The elite monster roared in pain, waving its claws to knock Yan Jun away.
Seeing this, Lin Zhi flew forward and stabbed the elite monster in the neck with his sword. The elite monster struggled hard and threw Lin Zhi away.
At this critical moment, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan arrived with the collected defense materials.
"Use these to reinforce the defense line!" Hua Yuan shouted.
Everyone took immediate action, placing the materials where the energy barrier was damaged and successfully repairing the defense line.
The two Zerg brothers were furious when they saw that the defense line was solid again.
"Damn it, we can't let them succeed!" Wang Jun shouted.
Wang Kai nodded, "Keep attacking, we will definitely be able to break through!"
The Zerg army, led by elite monsters, continued to launch fierce attacks. The defense of the Fire City entered a white-hot stage. The human soldiers, led by Lin Zhi and others, put up a tenacious resistance, each of them doing their utmost to protect the city.
The battle lasted for a long time, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. The Zerg's offensive gradually weakened, and they seemed to realize the difficulty of this battle.
Linzhi saw the state of the Zerg and thought that perhaps he could take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
"Yan Jun, you lead a team to attack from the left side and disrupt their formation." Lin Zhi said.
Yan Jun nodded, "Okay, Boss, watch me!"
Yan Jun led a group of soldiers down the city wall quietly and circled towards the left side of the Zerg.
Lin Zhi then said to Zhang Ying, "Inform the mages to prepare for a concentrated magical attack and wait for my signal."
Zhang Ying immediately ran to convey the order.
Lin Zhi looked at the Zerg who were gradually relaxing and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"
He led a group of soldiers down from the city wall and charged towards the Zerg army.
The Zerg did not expect humans to attack suddenly, and their formation was immediately thrown into chaos.
The team led by Yan Jun rushed out from the left side and formed a pincer attack with Lin Zhi's team.
Seeing that the time had come, the mages chanted a spell in unison, and a huge beam of magic light shot towards the Zerg army.
The Zerg were caught off guard by this sudden attack and suffered countless casualties in an instant.
Wang Jun and Wang Kai shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the Zerg formation, but it was too late.
The four Zerg siblings were also dodging attacks in the chaos.
"It's no use, let's retreat!" Li shouted.
The other brothers and sisters nodded and began to retreat with the Zerg army.
Wang Jun and Wang Kai looked at the defeated Zerg army, sighed helplessly, and retreated as well.
The defense of the Fire City achieved a temporary victory, and the human soldiers cheered.
Lin Zhi stood on the battlefield, looking at the direction where the Zerg were retreating, and said, "This battle is not over yet. Everyone must not relax. Continue to strengthen the defense and be ready to deal with the next Zerg attack at any time."
Yan Jun stepped forward and said, "Boss, this time we won by a narrow margin. The Zerg will definitely have more powerful moves next time. We need to think of a way to deal with them in advance."
Lin Zhi nodded, "Well, everyone, go and rest first, recharge your batteries and prepare for the next battle."
The crowd dispersed, and the Fire City temporarily returned to peace after this fierce battle, but everyone knew that the threat of the Zerg still existed, and future defense battles would be even more difficult.
