Ye Zhongming's Demon Servicing Beehive stood atop the city wall, a dark mass of needle birds appearing to intercept the humanoid crab soldiers descending from the sky.
Originally, this type of mutated life with a hard shell was something that needle birds feared, as their main attack method, the sharp long needles on their beaks, might not pierce such defenses. If they failed to penetrate, the deterrence of the needle birds would be significantly reduced.
However, the number of humanoid crab soldiers thrown by the mutated octopus was not as abundant as the sea beasts below. When a few hundred soldiers descended, their numbers were uneven, which gave the needle birds some room to maneuver.
Some of the higher-level crab soldiers were impervious to the needle birds' attacks, but there were also elite needle birds among them, and the needle birds always maintained a numerical advantage over a unit of time. No matter how hard the shell was, there were always vulnerable spots like eyes and joint gaps, so even though the humanoid crab soldiers had tough shells, they were still killed instantly under the siege of thousands of needle birds.
The survivors on the city wall only needed to worry about not getting crushed by the falling sea beasts.
The long-range professions no longer held back in the air, and the impact on the ground immediately intensified. Ye Zhongming distributed the mental power recovery potions he had collected over the past month, maintaining the attack intensity of these ranged evolvers. Gorgeous skills rained down amid the sea beast tide, causing substantial damage.
After defeating the naga archers, the gunners freed up their hands and began attacking the naga warriors together with the long-range professions. These foes were incredibly strong and could overpower human evolvers of the same level. If they charged up the city wall, even the Ying City Alliance would find it troublesome.
After halting most of the city-crashing beasts, Ye Zhongming also began to focus on the high-level naga warriors.
At this moment, the experience of being a reborn individual was evident. Under his command, the Ying City Coalition did not engage in the kind of attack where they targeted whoever approached the fastest. Such attacks might seem effective but only dealt with immediate dangers while leaving hidden threats for the future. The attack intensity of the survivors was inversely proportional to time; only the most elite troops would break out of this habit, while attackers were usually not so seasoned, as the cannon fodder was often positioned closest to the wall.
For instance, the dwarf fishmen this time were numerous and looked fierce, making strange noises that seemed imposing. But upon closer inspection, while there were some with decent evolution levels among these little fellows, most appeared to be at grade two or three. If skills, bullets, and stamina were wasted on these guys, then when the average evolution level of the naga warriors, ranging between level four and five, attacked the city, human evolvers would lack their previous sharpness.
So under Ye Zhongming’s orders, the Ying City Coalition paid no attention to the dwarf fishmen climbing up, instead concentrating their firepower on the naga warriors.
The second form of the Thunderstorm Tower, the Thunderball, also began to unleash its power.
This attack could cause maximum damage within 300 meters, comparable to the combination of several powerful evolvers' long-range skills. The basin-sized Thunderball glimmered and shot out. Its speed seemed slow, but it was not something ordinary skills could match. When it crashed into the swarm of sea beasts, it exploded with a tremendous force, scattering powerful currents and shockwaves, creating large craters on the ground, let alone affecting the sea beasts.
Three Thunderstorm Towers firing three Thunderballs at once was enough to clear a large area of sea beasts.
At this moment, Ye Zhongming did not hesitate to use the accumulated magic crystals, allowing Liang Chuyin, Shengyuan, and Park Soo-young to personally control the towers. While vanquishing numerous sea beasts, they also accumulated sufficient merit.
