Chapter 23: Fire!

  The fort itself is divided into two layers, and to attack the flying beasts in the sky, you can only go up to the top layer. After consultation, the teachers of each class divided the team members into two parts, one part went up to the second floor to shoot and kill the flying beasts, while the other part rested, with a shift every two hours.

  Zhang Tianming came before the six classmates of Class 5 and said, "You've all taken shooting lessons, so I don't need to explain much. Here, I want to make a solemn declaration: when shooting, try to be precise; otherwise, it's just a waste of energy. Although there are many flying beasts, they do not pose the main threat. The real threat is still behind us. We need to thoroughly clear the flying beasts in the sky before the two front lines collapse, so precision is essential."

  "Yes!"

  "Also, do you know why the county government has to spend a huge amount of effort to build three lines of defense? In addition to layer by layer blocking and consuming the number of barbarians to the maximum extent, it is also to give you an opportunity for actual combat. You must cherish this opportunity. If the first two lines of defense really collapse, you will have to withdraw immediately." Zhang Tianming instructed solemnly.

  "Understood!" The crowd responded in unison.

  Then Zhang Tianming and several other teachers discussed it and divided the students here into two groups.

  Yang Tong was cleverly assigned to the first batch of attacking troops.

  "Yang Tong, are you afraid?" Feng Xiaobo had now come to from the initial shock of seeing that terrifying and bloody scene, and had regained some composure.

  "A bit, I did have a dry heave just now, but thinking carefully, this is war between races, there's no way to avoid it, we must resist, can't just sit and wait for death?" Yang Tong replied calmly, opening the switch of the machine gun, putting the sight on the gun rack, coming to a shooting port, trying to aim with the sight, the sight accurately captured a barbarian beast flying at high speed, then pulled the trigger.

  The gun body shook slightly, and a strong laser beam shot out.

  The laser beam accurately hit a flying creature in the air, shooting it through the chest and opening up a fist-sized hole. The wound also retained high temperatures, causing the fist-sized wound to gradually expand into the size of a football.

  The flying beast let out a miserable cry, its wings struggled for a moment, and its blood-red eyes stared in the direction where Yang Tong was. Then it flew towards Yang Tong, but halfway through, it was hit by an even larger laser beam and disintegrated directly in mid-air.

  The chest, head and wing roots of the flying beast are all effective striking points, especially the head, a hit is fatal.

  "What a pity, it's just an A-type spirit energy rapid-fire gun. Even with a scope, it can't compare to the ferocity of an A-type spirit energy sniper rifle." Yang Tong sighed, earlier when he directly disintegrated a flying beast with one shot, only an A-type spirit energy sniper rifle or B-type spirit energy rapid-fire gun could have such power.

  Feng Xiaobo watched from the side, seeing it very clearly, and couldn't help but say: "Forget it, who told you to use the spirit energy rapid-fire gun as a sniper rifle? Just now you could have fired several shots in a row, which would have been enough to kill that vicious beast."

  Yang Tong listened, and smiled. The firearms in this world were more precise in structure, had a higher technological content, and were more powerful. Moreover, the recoil was small, there was an aiming function, and the shooting accuracy was stable, so even ordinary people who hadn't learned martial arts could use it. This A-type rapid-fire gun, although weakened the power of the laser shot, could fire continuously for tens of thousands of rounds without worrying about the barrel being unable to withstand it. It can be loaded with fifteen beast crystals or standard crystal stones, maintaining the gun's sustained ammunition capability. The theoretical shooting distance is 20,000 meters, and the effective attack distance is 5,000 meters!

  Taking this gun back to Earth would make it almost invincible, as it can be used to shoot down planes and missiles because their speed is not as fast as laser. Moreover, in terms of portability, the ammunition is nearly limitless (the beast crystal and standard crystal stone can be recycled before they are depleted).

  No way, this is the huge gap in technological level. A-type spirit guns like this one are only the lowest level among the nine grades of firearms and can be mass-produced at a low cost. This type of hot weapon is popular among the lower levels because it is affordable and can be mass-produced.

  The only thing that makes Yang Tong somewhat dissatisfied is that the communication technology in this world seems to be a bit backward, making Yang Tong feel extremely depressed.

  Yang Tong often thought about this issue, it's really unreasonable. With the spiritual tool technology level of human beings in this world, it's impossible that there is no communication technology at all? Even a Type-A spirit energy rapid-fire gun can sweep away most advanced weapons on Earth, how could there not be advanced communication technology?

  "Alright, no more talk, let's shoot!" Ai Dong reminded from the side, excitedly holding his gun and continuously firing at the moving rake in the air.

  Yang Tong and Feng Xiaobo didn't say anything more, each of them aiming at the large beast groups in the sky from their respective shooting ports.

  An hour passed, and Yang Tong personally shot down hundreds of flying beasts, but the sky was still a dense black, and the number seemed to have decreased not at all.

  The city wall was already piled up with the corpses of the barbarian beasts, at this time, Yang Tong saw a man wearing silver full-body armor, holding a fiery red sakura spear, and with one spear flower, suddenly appeared a series of fire rings, falling down the city wall, instantly spreading out boundless great fires, half an hour later, the flying beast's corpses were burned to ashes, immediately, dozens of masters jumped down from the city wall under the protection of the silver armored man, starting to pick up the remaining beast crystals.

  A group of beasts suddenly split out from the flying beast herd, numbering around ten thousand, and madly charged towards the silver-armored man.

  "Block!" Zhang Tianming saw this scene and loudly ordered.

  At this time, all the fortresses that could reinforce did not converge on this beast group to launch a blocking attack.

  A large number of flying beasts died, but still hundreds of flying beasts swooped down.

  The silver-armored man let out a cold snort, both hands holding guns, and with a flick of his wrist, the gun shadows danced across the sky. In that instant, all the flying beasts turned into balls of fire, letting out mournful cries as they fell to the ground. The other dozen or so experts ignored them, picking up the beast crystals until every last one was collected, then jumped onto the city walls with just a few steps.

  The man in silver armor was more straightforward and directly jumped up with a somersault.

  "This is the power of a Grandmaster, you guys have to work hard in the future!"

  Yang Tong this time indeed saw the fighting power of a land-level martial artist more clearly, although it was just a glimpse through a pipe, and he didn't get the whole picture, but he also had an intuitive understanding.
