Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 357 - 291: Defeating the Monster Horde; The Power of the Storm Crossbow

Then Zong Shen stopped the Burden-Bearer Mecha, took out the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword, and quickly dispatched the Death Knight with a few swings.

Successfully reaped 1000 points and Extraction Values, plus a [Basic Challenge Fragment]. Combined with the Burrow Monsters previously killed by the Burden-Bearer Mecha's charge, the [Ring of Strength Demon] once again accumulated 1500 Extraction Values, raising Zong Shen's Strength Attribute to 81 points, and Life Value to 1223 points.

These days, the [Ring of Strength Demon] has cumulatively increased Zong Shen's Strength Attribute by 10 points. Especially since yesterday, after the refresh of the Burrow Heroes, the speed of obtaining Extraction Values has increased significantly.

So far, Zong Shen has killed a total of 9 Burrow Heroes and captured 4 Wailing Liches. If it weren't for the low density of Burrow Monsters and Burrow Heroes around, Zong Shen's harvest would be even more.

It's not that there are too many monster swarms to worry about, but rather too few. Zong Shen has already chased them to a place more than ten kilometers outside his territory, showing how desolate the Burrow Monsters near his territory are.

It's more accurate to say they are Zong Shen's challenge, rather than him being theirs.

Usually, Lords worry about too many monsters to kill, but not like Zong Shen, who worries about not having enough monsters to kill.

After taking out another Baby Hero, there are about fifteen hundred monsters left, with nearly two hundred Gargoyles circling in the sky. Each time, Zong Shen and his group clean out the Burrow Monster Swarm, but many of the Gargoyles always manage to escape.

The reason is simple: the anti-air power is insufficient. Gargoyles have 580 Life Value and 25 Armor Value when they first refresh, let alone the even stronger Gargoyles that refresh later.

These creatures are not as easy to deal with as Burrow Zombies and Sharp-toothed Worms.

However, if Zong Shen had a full team of Mages or Crossbowmen under his command, these Gargoyles wouldn't be able to escape. As for now, it's indeed a headache.

Each Gargoyle can contribute 25 points, so the nearly two hundred Gargoyles in the sky represent four to five thousand points. Zong Shen wielded the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword, gazing at the Gargoyles above, pondering how to deal with them.

Gargoyles can hover at several hundred meters altitude, a height beyond the range of most attacks. Only the defensive buildings with Spiritual Power can reach them.

After pondering for a moment, Zong Shen recalled the [Storm Crossbows (Blue)] obtained from the secret supply point of the Calamity Raven Church, each with 89~92 Piercing Damage and a maximum shooting height of 100 meters, perfect for dealing with these clustered Gargoyle swarms.

But they must be lured down first. If they remain in Demon Deterrence mode, these creatures will definitely not attack.

Upon realizing this, Zong Shen came up with a plan. He sheathed the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword, got back on the Burden-Bearer Mecha, and started to accelerate towards the remaining Burrow Monster Swarm, speeding up the slaughter.

Twenty minutes later, only over a hundred Burrow Monsters remained, the victory was certain. Zong Shen stopped Demon Deterrence, went to the rear, took out 5 [Storm Crossbows (Blue)], set them up at the rear, and distributed them to the Mages.

"Everyone, pause for a moment and prepare to operate the Storm Crossbows."

"I will now stop the Demon Deterrence, let's see if they'll take the bait."

Zong Shen whispered a reminder, and the Mages nodded solemnly. They stopped casting spells and picked up the Storm Crossbows.

This type of light crossbow is much more convenient compared to the [Nord Array-Breaking Bed Crossbow (Purple)]. Although the Mages' Strength Attribute is not particularly high, they can still lift it.

Zong Shen also stopped the Demon Deterrence; the remaining hundred-odd Burrow Monsters were hardly worth mentioning since the Ghostly Demoness in the swarm had been eliminated by Zong Shen. The remaining ones were easily dealt with by the Wolf Cavalry and other Close Combat Soldiers.

As soon as Demon Deterrence stopped, the Gargoyle swarm in the sky became agitated.

They emitted ear-piercing screams. Zong Shen took out a Storm Crossbow and held it ready in his hand. As soon as they swooped down and entered the 100-meter range, they would use the Storm Crossbows to riddle the Gargoyles.

Before long, when the battle on the ground was nearly over, the Gargoyle swarm in the sky could no longer hold back and began to make dive-bombing movements.

Each Gargoyle dove headfirst, the black wings flapping as they charged downwards from several hundred meters in the air. They were fast. Zong Shen focused, and he saw the leading Gargoyles get marked with golden markers, indicating their real-time distance on the side.

Soon, the leading Gargoyle's dive distance approached 120 meters, and Zong Shen calculated some lead and started shouting loudly.

"Start with Tasuya, everyone aim, prepare for Storm Shooting!"

"Fire every two seconds."

Zong Shen instructed, because the Gargoyle's dive was staggered; the ones at the front were close to the hundred-meter range, while those at the back were still 150-160 meters away. Therefore, it's best to shoot at intervals. Although the Storm Crossbow can fire up to 120 Crossbow Arrows at once, the accuracy is hard to control, especially in an anti-air situation. How many will hit is down to luck.

As his order was given, the leading Gargoyles were diving within an 80-90-meter range, and Tasuya fired first, pulling the trigger.

The crossbow string on the wheeled axle emitted a crisp burst sound, and almost all the Crossbow Arrows in the cuboidal crossbow magazine at the front were fired within a second.

So many Crossbow Arrows were fired at once that Tasuya almost couldn't hold it steady and took a few steps back.

One hundred and twenty Crossbow Arrows were fired simultaneously, the real effect of a storm, looking like countless fine lines rushing towards the fiercely diving Gargoyle swarm.

"Whiz!"

After a series of penetrating sounds, seven or eight Gargoyles fell like kites with broken strings, with one or two Crossbow Arrows sticking into some others nearby.

The leading Gargoyles braked sharply, stopping in mid-air. The ones behind couldn't stop in time, resulting in a chaotic collision.

That was not all. Two seconds after Tasuya fired, Aisha also pulled the trigger, launching another 120 Crossbow Arrows, with even more fruitful results. Twelve or thirteen Gargoyles lost their lives and fell down.

Taking advantage of the chaos among the Gargoyles in the sky, Zong Shen also picked up his crossbow and shouted.

"Don't wait, fire intensively now!"

The battle opportunity is fleeting, now is the perfect chance to strike with full force.

The remaining three Storm Crossbows and the one in Zong Shen's hands fired simultaneously.

Four hundred and eighty Crossbow Arrows shot skywards, accompanied by a chorus of crisp firing sounds.

"Whiz!"

Such dense Crossbow Arrows ascended like a torrential rain in reverse, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

This shot truly caused the entire Gargoyle swarm to fall like raindrops. The arrows pierced their bodies, bursting into their flesh with splats of ichor.

Some Gargoyles' limbs and wings were directly torn apart due to the piercing density of the arrows.

Others were forced into stone statue form mid-air to avoid immediate death, but the resulting fall damage from such high altitude was substantial enough to deplete their Life Value.

Altogether, this round of Storm Shooting successfully eliminated seventy to eighty Gargoyles.

Storm Crossbows vs. Gargoyle Swarm.

This round, it was clear that the Storm Crossbows had come out victorious.
