127: Chapter 127 The Necromancer Invasion is Inevitable! 50,000 Gargoyles Attack.

Flooding Ailao Pass, and incidentally using heavenly thunder to boil the water throughout the entire pass.

The undead units hiding in tunnels and burrows were all wiped out in one go.

However, news came from Lv Bu at that moment, saying that behind Ailao Pass, the undead army had ultimately succeeded in opening the gate.

Currently, it was unknown how many people worldwide had surrendered to the Necromancer Lords. Even if only a minority had surrendered, with over seven billion surviving lords globally, if even just a few tens of thousands surrendered, someone would eventually succeed in opening a teleportation portal.

The invasion of the undead army was still inevitable...

No matter how great Xu Xuan's abilities were, it was impossible for him to control every piece of territory across the globe.

Just as this Ailao Pass had been broken through, the Necromancer Lord behind it had already successfully opened a teleportation portal to the Necrotic Divine Realm.

[Global Announcement: Due to human traitors surrendering to the Necromancer God Lord, a teleportation portal connecting to the Necrotic Divine Realm has been opened behind Death Valley at the border of Japan and South Korea!]

[The Scourge Legion has returned. Lords within the regions of Japan and South Korea, please prepare for the undead invasion.]

[The live battle footage has started a global broadcast!]

In the distance, over a thousand Bone Dragons flew over with a roar.

Corpse Dragon Knights in black armor rode atop the Bone Dragons, whose mouths were filled with Death Breath!

If this Death Breath were to be sprayed onto the island, who knew how many residents would be melted into dross.

Furthermore, the Bone Dragons were massive, each over twenty to thirty meters long, and the sense of pressure when they spread their wings was immense.

If these Bone Dragons were allowed to run rampant on the island, the high population density would inevitably lead to severe consequences.

Under these circumstances, Xu Xuan waved his hand: "Ballistae ready! Load the Vibranium bolts!"

From the island's armory, three thousand ballistae were rolled out.

Although he already had psionic cannons and giant cannons, Xu Xuan hadn't put all his resources into those cannons.

The previous Ballista Workshop was still producing ballistae every day.

But this time, the ballistae were different; the bolts had been replaced with brand-new Vibranium bolts.

A Battle Qi Martial Artist was seen channeling his Battle Qi into the bolt.

The bolts forged from Vibranium glowed with white Battle Qi, flashing with a cold light under the sun.

"Fire!"

As Xu Xuan drew his longsword, he pointed directly at the swarm of Bone Dragons five kilometers away.

The three thousand ballistae were divided into three groups, firing in sequence!

A wave of arrows, a thousand bolts as thick as an arm with tips imbued with white Battle Qi, whistled through the air, tearing it apart.

Seeing the glowing white bolts flying towards them, the thousand Bone Dragons flapped their wings and scattered.

However, over a hundred Bone Dragons couldn't dodge in time and were pierced through the chest or had their wings torn, falling towards the earth with wails!

A single volley harvested the thousand Bone Dragons!

One must know that Bone Dragons were elite units; facing soldiers like those of Miyamoto Takeshi, Zhou Wu, or Jack, a single Bone Dragon could easily harvest the lives of thousands of soldiers.

But these Bone Dragons were still five kilometers away and hadn't even reached Xu Xuan before over a hundred of them were taken out!

And this was only the first round!

The second volley harvested 69 Bone Dragons.

The third volley harvested 48 Bone Dragons.

Large numbers of Bone Dragons fell from the sky, yet Xu Xuan's ballistae did not stop.

After three volleys, the first row of ballistae had already finished reloading and fired again.

Thus, the effect of this three-stage ballista fire appeared continuous to outsiders, with nearly 1,000 bolts being launched every minute.

It gave the illusion that the Floating Island's firepower was constant and unending.

Furthermore, the arrowheads imbued with Battle Qi had stronger penetration; after the arrowheads tore through the Bone Dragons' scales, the Battle Qi would explode inside their bodies.

Under the continuous fire, the thousand Bone Dragons that had originally flown over aggressively were almost completely scrapped under the three-stage ballista fire.

When a few Bone Dragons broke through the anti-air net and tried to rush in front of Xu Xuan, they were blocked by Nezha, who was stepping on Wind and Fire Wheels, and the six-meter-tall Lei Zhenzi.

Lei Zhenzi, this burly man of 6.6 meters, directly grabbed the Bone Dragons by their heads and swung them out violently like ragdolls.

The elite force of a thousand Bone Dragons was thus wiped out!

At this moment, in the Necrotic Divine Realm, the Necromancer God Lord commanding this army roared irritably: "Useless! The elite Bone Dragons couldn't even fly in front of Xu Xuan?"

Originally, the Necromancer God Lord wanted to rely on a sneak attack, using this elite Bone Dragon unit to take Xu Xuan's head directly.

This was the second encounter between the Necromancer God Lord and Xu Xuan, and he hadn't expected to be hit hard right at the start, being taught a lesson by the brat Xu Xuan.

Unwilling to accept this, the Necromancer God Lord clenched his fists: "Even the elite Bone Dragons couldn't take him down..."

Among the hundreds of Divine Servants standing before the Necromancer God Lord, a figure in a black robe stepped forward to report: "God Lord, although Xu Xuan's ballistae are powerful, how will he stop us if we send 50,000 Gargoyles?"

"According to my calculations, this teleportation array can send 50,000 Gargoyles at once."

Hearing his servant's words, the Necromancer God Lord became interested: "Interesting. His ballistae can hunt dragons, but if it's fifty thousand Gargoyles, he indeed won't be able to stop them."

Having said that, the Necromancer God Lord waved his hand: "Tell the people on the Lord Continent to prepare 500 low-grade spirit stones. I want to teleport 50,000 Gargoyles over!"

After speaking, the Necromancer God Lord raised his hand; as a God Lord, he could easily create 50,000 Gargoyles with just one finger.

Meanwhile, the human traitors on the other side of the portal summoned the undead army by loading spirit stones.

When the teleportation array lit up, these 50,000 Gargoyles were teleported directly into Death Valley, appearing in front of the Floating Island.

When Xu Xuan saw a massive number of Gargoyles pouring out of the opened teleportation portal, he realized the situation was bad.

"Gargoyles... a bit troublesome."

He took a look.

[Gargoyle]

[Combat Power: Early stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery, Rank 5.]

[Affiliation: Necrotic Divine Realm]

If 50,000 Gargoyles couldn't be intercepted and were allowed to rush onto the island, there would indeed be a problem.

Moreover, ordinary arrows couldn't be shot very far, even with spiritual power added.

If archers were sent to the city walls to shoot the Gargoyles, only 20,000 people could stand on the walls currently, which would be completely insufficient to stop them.

Just then...

The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind Xu Xuan, and Mr. Mo was seen galloping towards him on a horse.

"Great King! This is a quiver I've modified. The construction is very simple; by sealing it with Battle Qi, it becomes a scatter-shot quiver!"

Hmm?

Seeing the scatter-shot quiver handed over by Mozi, Xu Xuan's eyes lit up.

Could this be considered a type of Mohist Mechanism Art?

The quiver only needed to be surrounded by bamboo strips, making the production process very simple. Then, arrows could be loaded into the quiver and fired from a ballista.

Some might not understand what use this had.

To put it bluntly, a shotgun! The spray gun from PUBG follows roughly this principle.

The quiver is sealed with Battle Qi. Once fired, the seal disappears, and the 100 arrows inside the quiver scatter, creating an effect similar to a shotgun.

Xu Xuan didn't hesitate: "Grand Preceptor Wen, quickly pass this method down. Have the soldiers use bamboo strips to tie together quivers, hurry!"

This simple invention by Mr. Mo was very easy to learn and spread through the army in an instant.

At this time, those 50,000 Gargoyles still didn't know what they were about to face.
