2083 The envious and shocked spectators (1)
The moment Tang Zhen appeared, countless pairs of eyes looked at him at the same time. At this moment, he was the focus of everyone’s attention.
The believers in the defense area looked at him with a hint of admiration in their eyes. Even the faces of the Veterans were full of admiration.
After fighting sea monsters for so many years, this was the first time they had experienced such a scene. They could kill monsters to their heart’s content without encountering any danger.
Before today, he would not have dared to think of such a thing.
As for the newbies, they didn’t know about the twists and turns inside. They only knew that Tang Zhen’s existence allowed them to successfully resist the sea monster’s attack and easily obtain a large amount of battle merits.
He had thought that he would definitely die after being assigned to a high-risk battle zone, but it seemed that this was not the case.
It could be said that Tang Zhen was their Savior. If it wasn’t for him, they might have already become the sea monster’s delicious meal.
Although Tang Zhen didn’t appear on the city wall during the battle just now, he seemed to be afraid of the battle.
However, in the eyes of the believers in the defensive area, he should have known the outcome of the battle long ago, which was why he did not personally take charge of the battlefield.
If it was any other zone of defense commander who did not personally command during the battle, he would only attract the contempt and discussion of his subordinates.
It would definitely not be like now, where everyone’s eyes were filled with respect and no one dared to question his actions.
Everyone guessed that Tang Zhen had appeared at this time because he was prepared to say a few encouraging words when the sea monsters retreated to raise the morale of the people in the defensive area.
No matter which defensive area it was, there would always be similar situations, and the commander would not miss this opportunity to increase his prestige.
As expected, in the next moment, Tang Zhen slowly opened his mouth. However, the content was different from what everyone had imagined.
“I know you’re all immersed in the joy of victory, because in the face of guns and weapons, the fierce sea monsters are so fragile and vulnerable.
This is the first battle since the reconstruction of area 153, and you’ve gained a lot from it. Perhaps today’s battle will be worth more than the total battle merits you’ve accumulated in the other areas over the past few months.
I’m sure you all know what battle merits mean. You can never have too many of them.
But I would like to ask you, are you satisfied with the harvest in front of you, or do you want to get more?
If you’re satisfied with the current situation, then let the sea monster go, and this battle will officially end.
If you want to obtain more battle merits, then be prepared to fight a bloody battle, because it is likely that more sea monsters will appear in the following time.
Now tell me your choice. Do you want to let the sea monster go, or do you want to continue fighting and gain more battle merits?”
Due to the auxiliary function of the temple, Tang Zhen’s voice spread throughout the entire defense area and every believer could hear it clearly.
“We want battle merits. Only with enough battle merits can we exchange for all kinds of required materials and constantly improve our strength.
If we miss this opportunity, where will we find such a good opportunity in the future, don’t you think so?”
Tang Zhen originally thought that Sun Jun would take the lead in responding. Who would have thought that the first to speak would be those veterans. They had anxious and excited expressions on their faces, as if they were afraid that their battle achievements would slip away from their eyes.
After fighting sea monsters for so many years, they knew how hard it was to get battle merits. Every point was exchanged with their lives.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to kill sea monsters easily, he would regret it if he missed this opportunity.
This was an opportunity that couldn’t be missed. They had to make a prompt decision. Therefore, as soon as Tang Zhen’s words fell, those veteran soldiers jumped out to express their support.
The new recruits were also unwilling to miss the opportunity to obtain military merits, so after the veteran spoke, they immediately raised their arms and strongly requested to continue hunting sea monsters.
In the sky above the entire defense area, a wave of roars asking for battle floated, making people’s blood seem to boil.
At the same time, they were also curious. What method would Tang Zhen have to continue chasing after these sea monsters when they had already retreated?
Just as everyone was secretly surprised, Tang Zhen walked to the front of a cannon and waved his hand to release a few items.
These items looked like cannonballs. They were slender and crystal-clear, and there seemed to be a viscous liquid flowing around the bullet head.
“Sir, What is this?”
A wily old soldier beside him could not resist the curiosity in his heart when he saw this and carefully asked Tang Zhen.
“All you need to do is watch and you’ll soon know what this is.”
Tang Zhen did not explain much. Instead, he commanded the soldiers to stuff it into the cannon barrel and gave the order to fire.
The believers in the defensive area all held their breath and stared at the muzzle, wanting to see what special effects this thing had.
With a few loud sounds, the cannonballs were shot out and fell into the water not far from the shore.
“What’s going on? I don’t understand.”
Whether it was the new recruits or the Veterans, all of them had confused expressions on their faces. They really couldn’t see what was special about these shots.
Just as everyone was discussing, they saw that the sea in front of them was like a boiling pot. The surface of the sea rose up abnormally, and then fell back down heavily.
Countless sea monsters revealed their heads and rushed madly to the area where the cannonballs fell into the water. The scene was spectacular.
Then, a stream of steam rose from where the cannonballs fell, drawing an arc in the air. The mist shimmered with a colorful light, looking like rainbow candy bars.
At this moment, the giant sea beasts that had dived into the sea also emerged from the water and rushed over.
Along the way, sea monsters were constantly swept away by the collision, and their bones were instantly crushed. However, the giant sea beast did not care at all. It only cared about charging towards the place where the seven-colored mist rose.
It was obvious that the retreating sea monster army had fallen into a state of chaos. Even though the sound of an emergency retreat was constantly heard, the sea monsters completely ignored it.
This situation was so strange that it made people panic.
The soldiers on the city wall were already restless. They were all dumbfounded as they stared at the sea in front of them.
They couldn’t understand what Tang Zhen had done. Why was it that a few rainbow-like water pillars were able to attract all these sea monsters back?
Looking at their appearance, it was as if they had gone crazy and completely lost all reason.
“What are you waiting for? attack immediately!”
Sun Jun’s voice rang out, waking up the soldiers who were still in a daze. They quickly turned the muzzles and aimed at the sea.
At this moment, there was no need to aim. As long as the shell was shot, it could land on the sea monster.
The position of the rainbow water pillar was very close, and it was also within the range of the anti-aircraft machine guns. The soldiers on the city wall also opened fire.
They gritted their teeth, wishing that they could pour out all the bullets in the magazine in the shortest time possible.
The monsters in the ocean were killed in droves, but even so, they were still rushing forward, not afraid of the threat of death at all.
The bloody scene caused everyone’s hearts to turn cold. They really could not understand what Tang Zhen had done. Why did he make these sea monsters go crazy?
Not only were the believers in area 153 shocked, but the other believers who were watching the battle through the transmission stone were also shocked by the scene in front of them.
They had fought against the sea monster for many years, but they had never seen such a strange scene before. They subconsciously felt a deep fear for Tang Zhen who had used such a technique.
If such a method was used on him, and he did not have any guns or weapons to suppress it, it would be a disaster.
Apart from shock, most of the spectators couldn’t hide their envy. The sea monster’s return meant that they could continue to gain battle merits.
As long as all the sea monsters were annihilated, the number of military merits obtained in area 153 would be shocking.
It was believed that after this battle, the name of the 153rd defense area would spread completely and become the focus of all believers of the kingdom of God.
