People who have never seen such a scene would never imagine that the attacking firepower of the Cloud Summit's ranged troops could completely rival those enormous assault weapons.
In fact, upon closer inspection, this is not hard to understand. The weapons used by Cloud Summit are all of decent quality, and the Magic Crystal Firearms go without saying; they are all the latest models, greatly improving their range and power. Other weapons, whether they are ordinary firearms, bows, crossbows, or even the bullets and arrows used, all have levels, and their power is inherently strong. Additionally, there are various enhancements from the users, naturally increasing their effectiveness.
But mainly, it comes down to numbers.
Almost half of the evolvers in Cloud Summit have ranged weapons, while the rest are tasked with defense, support, acting as reserves, and the cavalry led by Little Tiger, the combat team led by Xia Lei, and the red dress guard, all of whom have not yet engaged. Many of these individuals also possess ranged weapons; it just hasn’t been their turn to use them.
However, the sheer number of fifty thousand is already frightening. The web of firepower they create is like a wall of death; any monster that comes into contact with it would be torn to pieces.
Perhaps at this moment, many people finally understood why Cloud Summit dared to challenge the monster legion of millions with just one hundred thousand men.
Large groups of monsters fell before the battle formation of Cloud Summit, and the speed of their deaths sent chills down the spines of onlookers.
Many have heard or even spoken about the need to have sufficient respect for life. Yet right now, there is a profound disregard for it.
At this moment, life is worth less than weeds, even less than dirt.
The monsters, possibly trying to capture Ye Zhongming, showed no response to this situation. Those with good defenses or high speed did not form a vanguard, and now they were all charging purely on instinct.
The speed of death even caused some of the Cloud Summit warriors, who were responsible for all this destruction, to feel a touch of sorrow.
Their feelings were complicated.
The monster legion struggled to advance under such attacks; ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds. They moved forward with each passing second, but the distance they covered could only be described in terms of a human's normal walking "steps."
In thirty seconds, they barely managed thirty steps. They closed in on Cloud Summit by less than twenty meters.
But what about the number of deaths? In such a short time, it had already exceeded two hundred thousand!
Almost one thousand monsters died for every meter!
Finally, the monsters could no longer withstand these losses and began to adapt.
A large number of monsters leapt towards Cloud Summit's battle formation, while the remaining flying demon creatures recklessly dove down. Some smaller monsters used the bodies of their companions as cover to launch attacks from the ground, hoping to create chaos within Cloud Summit's ranks.
This change indeed had an effect. Many Cloud Summit ranged warriors instinctively shifted their targets. Some aimed at the sky, some aimed at the ground, and some didn’t move at all.
Although the overall firepower didn’t diminish, it lessened the pressure on the monsters charging head-on.
In just a few seconds, the monsters covered the distance they hadn’t reached in half a minute.
“Don’t mind the sky!”
“Continue firing!”
“The flying ones aren’t your targets!”
Core members or team leaders continuously scolded those warriors who had raised their guns.
Even if the monsters' charge was hindered, once they regrouped and charged again, the momentum and speed could become overwhelming, like crashing waves.
Firepower was unleashed again, divided between the monsters in front and the little demon monsters on the ground, but it became impossible to stop these creatures.
The monsters surged like a tidal wave.
It was no wonder that the Cloud Summit warriors targeted those little demon monsters. If they managed to breach the formation, it would indeed cause chaos and potentially lead to casualties. If the formation collapsed, today’s battle would be a complete loss.
