Chapter 1271 Broken City
These strange rats gathered under the city wall without making any sound. Then, one by one, they stretched out their claws and placed them on the city wall. Their claws did not tear the wall or make dents on it. Their claws seemed to be able to stick to the wall like a gecko, with special stickiness and suction. Then, they began to climb up vertically.

one!
Two!!
In the blink of an eye, there were thousands and thousands of them, densely packed like ivy, climbing up the city wall quickly and silently. The whole process seemed fast and strange. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be almost impossible to imagine that this was real.

Silently, the first group of strange rats had already reached the city wall.

As soon as we arrived at the city wall, the lights were bright as day, and there was no room to hide.

It's not that there are no guards on the city walls. Every Feng Shui holy city has a standing garrison of city defense troops. They are stationed on the city walls all year round. The war forts on the city walls have long been opened up with corresponding space. The space is huge and can accommodate a large number of soldiers for their living needs. Each war fort is an independent military camp with a dedicated chef. All daily needs are directly allocated from the Military Affairs Council. All kinds of purchases are handled by the Military Affairs Council. It is a special existence that exists in the city, but is different from the Nine Departments of One City.

Qian Ling's separation of military and political affairs can be said to be done quite well.

Unless the city is in crisis and is about to collapse, the city defense forces will not obey the transfer order. However, if it is during a war, the city lord has temporary authority to transfer the troops, and if there is an order from the Military Affairs Council, all orders from the Military Affairs Council must be obeyed first.

Being responsible for the defense of the Feng Shui Holy City is the city defense army’s first mission. Once there is an invasion by foreign enemies, the city defense army will be the first to respond.

The number of city defense troops is different for each level of Feng Shui holy city.

In the lowest Baicao-level Feng Shui Holy City, the resolution discussed in the Military Affairs Council is that a city will have 100,000 city defense troops. The number will increase by 100,000 for each additional star level. The purpose of the city defense troops is to guard the city walls. Their main purpose is to enter the war forts on the city walls and control the various war weapons placed in the war forts. With the help of the solidity of the forts, they can launch external attacks with the various war weapons inside.

Then issue a warning, notify the city, notify the Military Affairs Pavilion, and mobilize the subsequent legion forces. In each battle fortress, there is an exclusive teleportation array connected to the Military Affairs Pavilion, also known as a small star gate. It is not used at ordinary times. At a critical moment, once it is activated, the army can be directly mobilized from the Military Affairs Pavilion base camp to support. The entire city wall is an extremely independent closed area.

Bailu City is a three-star Feng Shui holy city of the Bird Class. There are 300,000 city defense troops stationed on the city walls, which is enough to meet the daily patrol work on the city walls.

On the city wall, even at night, it was as bright as day, and there was no impact on vision. The patrols on the city wall were divided into teams, and each section of the city wall had a corresponding patrol area. Each patrol team had 50 people, and the patrol time was one hour, and they would change shifts every hour.

But they will ensure that there will be a patrol team at every time period. There will be no idle time, and they will always be vigilant.

Dense swarms of plague rats suddenly climbed up the city wall, and when they appeared on the wall, they were immediately discovered by the patrolling city defense soldiers.

"Be alert, something's happening."

"Rat, there is a swarm of rats. Send out a warning card. We have found traces of rat apostles in Bailu City."

"Kill, notify the city, and activate the Feng Shui barrier."

A team of fifty city defense soldiers responded without hesitation.

All I saw was that the source crystal watches on their wrists flashed, and a card was activated. The next second, a bright yellow armor appeared out of thin air, completely covering the entire body. This was full-body armor. Once the entire armor was put on, it immediately covered the entire body from head to toe. There was even a mask covering the face, leaving only the two eyes exposed. But it can be seen that the entire armor is not bulky, but rather, it presents a streamlined texture, soft like a thin battle suit, very light, but it does not affect their defense at all, on the contrary, it is terrifyingly tough.

This is the innate spiritual treasure——Xuanhuang Immortal Armor!!
In these years, Qian Ling has not been sitting there doing nothing. The foundation of civilization has been constantly increasing. The number of innate spiritual treasures has been increasing with the deliberate collection. Many of them are directly stored in the Lingbao Pavilion, allowing those in need to use the Wanbao Cards to print the divine form. Then, each individual can collect the corresponding natural treasures and integrate them into the Wanbao Cards to turn the divine form from virtual to real, allowing it to grow and become stronger little by little. In the end, there is a chance to reach the level of the divine form itself.

The Xuanhuang Immortal Armor is an innate spiritual treasure obtained in these years. It is only a lower-grade innate spiritual treasure, but can be used as a pure defensive spiritual treasure. Its value is so high that it is not inferior to the middle and high-grade ones. Its pure defensive power may not be broken by even Daluo.

After it was obtained, the Xuanhuang Immortal Armor was identified by the Military Affairs Council as a piece of Qianling, and all the soldiers in the army had the authority to entrust it to be printed into Wanbao cards. In addition, all the soldiers were allowed to exchange their merits for various natural materials and treasures for casting Wanbao cards, especially a top-notch material - Xuanhuang Earth Scale.

This happens to be the top-level magical material that Qian Ling possesses, and it also ensures that it can provide a steady supply of resources for Wanbao Cards.

Its defensive power is amazing. It is a standard configuration in the city defense army. Almost as soon as they join the army, they will start to copy and cultivate it. This kind of armor greatly increases the defensive power of the city defense army itself. Defense power means survivability, life-saving ability, and combat ability.

Most of the Xuanhuang Immortal Armor of the city defense army have reached the level of top-grade magic weapons. Even top-grade magic weapons have powerful defensive capabilities comparable to magic weapons. It even costs a lot of merit, or even money, to cultivate them to the level of magic weapons, and the defense will be even stronger.

At this moment, as soon as the Xuanhuang Indestructible Armor was revealed, the momentum of the entire team suddenly changed. Some showed their shields, some held swords, and some slashed at the strange rats that rushed up the city wall with spears without any hesitation.

There are also those who release spirit beasts and urge cards to travel back and forth in the void, displaying different abilities.

He started fighting with the strange beast on the spot.

Some strange rats were injured or even killed, and their attacks also fell on the soldiers of the city defense army. The dark yellow immortal armor they were wearing was flashing with dark yellow light, and they resisted the attacks time and time again, but there were too many strange rats and they were densely packed.

A team of city defense troops was completely overwhelmed by the strange rats.

boom! !

Howl howl howl!!

At the critical moment, the city defense forces threw a card into the sky.

The card exploded in the void, and then countless divine lights gathered to form a fiery red monster bird. Once it took shape, it let out a sharp cry towards the sky. The cry was so sharp that it directly pierced the tranquility of the world and could pierce through a person's soul, waking up instantly even in a dream.

"Oh no! It's a whistling bird. It's a warning that there is an invasion from outsiders."

The Lord of Bailu City was awakened instantly.

The people in the city were awakened.

On the city wall, battle fortresses began to operate at the same time.

"There are intruders. All soldiers, prepare for battle. Activate the fortress defenses. All weapons of war, activate immediately."

"It's a swarm of rats. According to the known information, there is a high probability that it is a rat plague caused by the apostles. All soldiers, immediately attack the swarm of rats and prevent them from invading the city."

"Open the Feng Shui barrier to prevent the rats from entering the city. We must not let the rats get past the defenses of the city walls."

"Eighteen city defense crossbows and machine guns, open fire immediately, fire hard."

"Bed crossbow, aim at the rats and attack."

"Use annihilation bombs to blow them up."

The entrance of the battle fort was closed, and the shooting holes began to operate immediately. The city defense crossbow machine guns installed in the fortress exploded at the first moment, and dense crossbow arrows bombarded the inside and outside of the city wall like a storm.

Puff puff! !

Under the crossbows, the huge rats were shot into sieves on the spot. The whole process was extremely violent. The people in the city were also awakened. Seeing the battle on the city wall, they were all shocked. This was not a scene that anyone could have expected.

At the same time, they all realized that this group of rats could have been created by the apostles of rats.

After all, the people of Qianling had already received the message from the apostles, and when they saw the rats, they would instinctively make associations.

"Damn it! It was the apostles who caused the rat plague."

"Go up to the city wall. We must not let these damn rats rush in. We must hold on. Support will definitely arrive soon. The Emperor will not give up on us."

"Look, there are rats digging holes underground. The entrances of the holes have been dug out. This is the Feng Shui Holy City. No force has ever dug through the ground or broken into the city. These rats are indeed derived from the apostles. Kill them."

At the same time as the battle began on the city wall, holes were suddenly dug out on the ground inside the city. These holes were very dense in number, and once they were dug through, a large number of strange rats immediately emerged. They would pounce on people without mercy when they saw them in the city. The claws of these strange rats seemed to be able to cause amazing damage to the city, and they had a terrible talent for digging.

The Feng Shui barrier was also opened at the first opportunity.

But what was very strange was that the swarms of rats outside the city were still coming in an endless stream, climbing on the Feng Shui barrier and following the barrier, so dense that they covered the sky. Moreover, when their claws landed on the barrier, they actually tore holes in the barrier just like the ground, and then fell into the city through the holes. The dense swarms of strange rats kept falling like hail from the sky, causing huge damage in the city in an instant.

While the people in the city were angry, they were also fighting against the rats.
