The defense towers were similarly manned by soldiers also firing outward.
Who are they shooting at? Sujene had a moment of doubt but suddenly realized what else could it be? It could only be the corpse puppets.
The fog had descended and the corpse puppets had appeared.
Boom.
The sound of something breaking through the air echoed on the wide city walls.
Every 20 m stood a catapult or a ballista.
At this moment, these catapults and ballisti had opened fire.
Huge stone projectiles and crossbow bolts were launched, and he could hear the dull thuds when they struck the corpse puppets.
However, the firing rate of the catapults and ballisti was too slow.
They still relied on the solders's bows and crossbows.
Outside the city, thick black smoke billowed, and a pungent odor wafted into the city.
This scent was familiar.
It was the smell of improved fire oil.
It seemed that the battle outside the city was fierce.
Under the walls of the city, many soldiers stood in formation, ready for battle.
Their targets, however, were the numerous players within the city.
They held long swords, leaning slightly forward.
Once a player approached, they would attack immediately without hesitation.
There were already over a 100 players corpses on the ground.
Arrows protruded from their bodies, revealing bloody wounds.
Blood flowed everywhere.
No one dared to advance any further.
Sujene observed carefully.
The lowest rank among these soldiers was a tier three soldier.
Each one was clad in iron armor, wielding iron swords and iron shields.
They look like iron men.
Unit information.
Name senior infantry of Yen Xiao.
Culture Chinese Yao.
Tier tier three.
Senior level salary 10 silver coins.
Talent generous elegy for every two decrease in life.
Attack increases by one.
Talent: Intermediate stamina enhancement increases stamina by 20.
Skill: Swordsmanship 30.
Armor skills 10.
Requirements: Yenzhao infantry level 20.
Description upgraded from Yenhao infantry.
Strong in swordsmanship with certain defensive capabilities.
A well-rounded unit.
The senior infantry of Yen Xiao was at least level 20.
Therefore, these units had undergone at least 20 enhancements.
Moreover, their base swordsmanship was as high as 30 points.
According to the craftsman level standards, each of them was a mid-level swordsman.
Coupled with the fact that swords are the lightest of all weapons.
A lighter weapon allows for faster attack speeds.
When dealing with enemies with low armor, they could cut through them quickly, as if slicing through vegetables.
In ambushes, pursuits, and night raids, using swords could yield excellent results.
Light weapons consume less stamina with each attack.
Additionally, their talent increases stamina by 20, making this unit very capable of sustained combat.
Continuous fighting inevitably leads to injuries.
For them, being injured might not be a bad thing.
When injured, their talent generous elegy takes effect.
The more severe the injury, the stronger the attack.
Furthermore, they have 10 points of armor skills for added protection, making their armor even sturdier, quick attacks, strong swordsmanship, defense with armor skill bonuses, stamina boost during combat, and the ability to activate their talent upon injury to increase attack power all make these soldiers incredibly versatile.
Ordinary players could barely handle two at once.
Even combat oriented players would struggle against five at the same time.
Now, there were hundreds on the opposite side.
The senior infantry of Yin Xiao was strong, but they were only tier three units.
Among the soldiers on the opposite side, there were also some tier 4 units.
These tier 4 units represented a significant increase in strength.
Unit information name Yin Xiao heavy armored swordgar culture.
Chinese Yin Xiao rank tier 4.
Backbone level salary 20 silver coins talent generous elegy talent.

Talent.

Skills: Swordsmanship 35.

Requirements.
Senior Yin Xiao infantry.
Level 30.
Description.
Evolve from senior Yen Xiao infantry with balance skill enhancements especially strong in swordsmanship.
Possessing strong defensive capabilities integrating offense and defense.
The threshold for this tier 4 unit is level 30.
They have a greater improvement than tier three units.
Possessing all the advantages of tier three units, but stronger.
Moreover, their skills have been further enhanced.
Swordsmanship has increased to 35, armor proficiency to 15, and shield proficiency to 10.
At first glance, a 10point increase in shield proficiency may not seem significant.
However, the unit skills are additive to the character skills.
For example, if a soldier originally has one point in shield proficiency, it now becomes 11 points.
If the soldier originally has 20 points, it becomes 30 points.
If the soldier originally has 80 points, it becomes 90 points.
This is unrelated to experience and is directly additive.
Therefore, this additional 10 points in shield proficiency is a considerable boost to defense.
The same applies to swordsmanship, allowing the soldier to directly add 35 points to their base.
The skills of the heavy armored sword guard are very balanced, truly integrating offense and defense.
Additionally, they have gained a new talent, intermediate movement speed enhancement, which increases movement speed by another 20.
This further balances the heavy armored sword guard's abilities, capable of attacking, defending, moving quickly, and having high stamina.
If you're unsure of what unit to choose, go for the Yin Xiao Heavy Armored Sword Guard.
They may not be the most outstanding, but they are certainly competent.
Unfortunately, they're now standing opposite.
Among the hundreds of deceased players, most died under their long swords.
The remaining players were intimidated, momentarily frozen in place.
However, more players continued to surge forward.
