Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1033: Historic Siege Chariot
The battlefield didn’t turn silent because of the deaths. Respect toward life only existed in encyclopedias and movies.
Real wars were more cruel than you imagined. If one hadn’t gone through it personally, they wouldn’t be able to understand.
The giant siege chariots drove under the walls. These two-story-high chariots were pushed by people, and there were troops inside. At the same time, these troops provided the eight wheels with their momentum.
“Crush them!”
Many of the Posthumous people didn’t know the demon monsters or other trump cards Saint Light Hall had, but they recognized these siege chariots.
In many of their records, the chariots had a special place.
A long time ago, before the Posthumous people had fallen to such a level and were still living above ground, they had their own city. It was also huge, and its defense was firm.
In their initial battle with the Saint Light Hall, they were very confident, and each had their advantages.
But when one city after another was broken and many people were slaughtered, they fell quickly.
One key element was these siege chariots.
Ye Zhonging and Cloud Peak did hear legends of these siege chariots, but when they actually saw them, they didn’t feel too intensely.
But immediately, they realized how terrifying they were.
The warriors on the walls heard Ling Kun’s orders and aimed at these siege chariots already within 200 meters of the walls. The crossbows were the first to fire. Ye Zhongming upgraded the arrows, which formed a firm and movable line of defense.
One could imagine that no matter how strong the chariots were, they would be destroyed if you were hit. After all, even Yangos had to avoid these arrows.
But as the arrows fired, a small hole in the center of the chariots buzzed. Many circular nets fired. The holes in the net were small and very dense. There were even small metal spots connecting the parts of the net.
Giant arrow, huge nets, both sides clashed.
Pa ta! Pa ta!
Such sounds spread. The arrows easily pierced the nets, and Cloud Peak, who had never seen such a machine, smiled. But instantly, their expressions changed. The net suddenly constricted and wrapped the weapon. The metal points actually gave off a strong absorption.
As there were too many, the nets looked majestic when constricted. But this wasn’t a good thing for the Posthumous People.
90% of these arrows were captured and fell to the ground. Some hit the chariots, their sharp arrows hitting them. Some were knocked aside, some pierced into it. As they were very far away and the battlefield was noisy, one couldn’t hear carefully, but they could see some red liquid flowing from the gaps.
They did win a little, but it wasn’t huge. Less than a few dozen of the chariots were destroyed.
“Continue!”
Ling Kun ordered them to continue. Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and ordered the crystal cannons to prepare. He planned to see if the chariots could block attacks that came from another civilization.
The second wave of arrows faced the huge nets. Like the first time, only a minority hit the target. A few arrows hit the joints of the chariot and bone shrapnel flew, causing the chariot to stop. This pretty much meant that the chariot was destroyed.
500 Sky Breaking series cannons gave out a furious roar.
Energy balls crossed the sky, and looked at those lifeforms in disdain.
The energy ripped the front of the chariot and also the bodies of the Saint Light Hall warriors within. With a wave, at least a few hundred chariots were destroyed.
The people on the walls cheered.
There were many chariots, but they didn’t need too much time if a few hundred were wiped out at once.
“Changed!”
Before they could cheer, some Posthumous people saw that the chariots behind had changed. A metal covered their parts, and the wooden shrapnels that were revealed were all blocked. Metal rods stretched from between those metal pieces, and no one knew what they were used for.
Ye Zhongming focused. He didn’t care about what those metal tubes were and ordered them to continue attacking.
The cannons continued to fire. The sharp energy landed on the metal pieces and caused sparks.
“Impossible!”
Xia Lei grabbed the wall and frowned.
She saw that many attacks were blocked.
It didn’t mean that the metal armor could help them ignore attacks. The energy from the crystals still caused huge damage. Some pieces of metal were sliced apart to reveal the chariot underneath.
But none of them were destroyed.
Yangos circled above the Saintess’s head and looked at those scenes. Its eyes were filled with disdain.
Those metal pieces weren’t ordinary metal but bathed in dragon blood and other strong demon monster blood. Although the defense wasn’t even a fifth of their defense, one crystal cannon shot couldn’t break them.
Of course, when Yangos was thinking about all these, it recalled the day it was showered by the attacks and shuddered.
The attacks didn’t stop. The chariots continued forward while being hit. The crystal energy wiped the chariots, and some of them were destroyed, slicing those within into pieces.
But they continued forward.
At the same time, those demon monsters carrying stones were back. The crossbows continued to attack, but because the crystal cannons were still hitting the chariots, some giant bows had to compensate for the lack of damage.
Even the Posthumous People’s few air troops had to get ready.
At this time, those metal tubes started moving. They fired many small, weird-looking things. They were spiral-shaped, and when they flew, the tips expanded to form an umbrella. They flew while spinning. They spun so quickly that it sounded like they were ripping through the space!
