The appearance of medium-sized ancient creatures signified that the intensity of the monster siege on Kyoto had escalated once again.

Upon noticing the arrival of the medium-sized ancient creatures, the officer in charge of guarding the wall approached Robinson William and said, "Of the six sniper rifles we obtained, two were taken by the supporting troops. Now, only four sniper rifles remain in the camp.

I have already deployed two sniper rifles to this location, with the remaining two kept in reserve to respond to any potential appearance of large ancient creatures on the other three sides of the camp.

Under normal circumstances, without so many small ancient creatures outside, we would have personnel draw away the medium-sized ancient creatures."

Although the officer didn’t spell it out, Robinson William understood what the officer meant.

Elder Jefferson had made it clear when distributing the sniper rifles that, because the military was in charge of the camp’s external security, they had intentionally not evenly allocated the sniper rifles, instead giving one extra rifle.

However, at this moment, the military asked for cooperation from Robinson William’s side, so it was no wonder that this officer hesitated and lacked the usual decisiveness characteristic of the military.

Robinson William didn’t hesitate at all and agreed immediately to the request since it was made in consideration of the camp’s safety, foregoing face and pride and asking for his help before the crisis emerged.

"Rest assured, I will make the arrangements right away. However, I need to clarify that I only have the authority to utilize two sniper rifles. If you want to use the remaining sniper rifles, we need to file a report for approval from the committee before they can be used."

Robinson William knew that Dong Tianyu had one of the sniper rifles, but he didn’t agree on Dong Tianyu’s behalf because he knew that using the sniper rifles wasn’t the big issue—the key was the consumption of ammunition.

Since they were defending the city, the ammunition used would be difficult to reimburse from the military side before receiving a bullet supply from Kyoto.

Thus, Robinson William didn’t mention the sniper rifle in Dong Tianyu’s possession. After all, the officer’s request was made because there weren’t more than three sniper rifles on the west wall, and according to the manual sent from Kyoto, only by hitting the brain of the giant ancient creature with three bullets simultaneously could it be killed instantly.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, the officer requested Robinson William to bring his controlled sniper rifles here in advance.

Once he received affirmative confirmation from Robinson William, the officer immediately left to resume command over the battle on the city wall.

Robinson William didn’t go back himself but arranged for his deputy to bring back the two sniper rifles stored in the Patrol Office’s armory.

When his deputy asked how much ammunition was needed, Robinson William didn’t hesitate and ordered all the ammunition to be brought over.

The biggest difference between real-world monster sieges and game monster sieges is that in games, after monsters die during a siege, their bodies disappear, and their dropped loot appears on the ground, which can even stack up.

In the real world, the bodies of those besieging monsters do not disappear after death but instead pile up higher and higher. Although this can obstruct the advance of subsequent monsters to some extent, it significantly increases the difficulty of the defenders.

After all, the ground level will steadily rise as monster corpses accumulate, gradually nullifying the defenders’ advantage from the wall’s height.

If the survivors were initially unsure how to deal with this situation when the ancient creatures first appeared, by now, the corpses of the dead ancient creatures would not aid the assaulting monsters but rather would be an obstacle to the remaining attackers.

When the corpses reached a certain height, the defending officers switched the throwers’ ammunition, introducing round projectiles beside them.

Seeing the new projectiles, a cruel smile appeared on the faces of the throwers atop the city wall, as they fully understood what they held in their hands.

Following an order from the commanding officer, all the throwers decisively hurled their projectiles.

These thrown objects didn’t wait to explode upon striking the ancient creatures but burst open in mid-air shortly after being thrown.

Upon exploding, these new devices didn’t produce an intense shockwave but instead scattered countless sparks over an entire area in an instant.

When the sparks landed on the ancient creatures below, they clung to the creatures’ skin and erupted into flames, like maggots on a bone.

The ancient creatures that were hit by the burning material immediately let out wails of agony. Some of the creatures, quite cleverly, tried to roll on the ground to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

But what they didn’t realize was that the ground beneath them was no longer the original earth but a path paved with the corpses of other ancient creatures.

As they rolled trying to smother the flames on their bodies, the sparks took advantage of their rolling to ignite the corpse path beneath them.

And while they rolled, the smaller ancient creatures behind them did not specifically avoid them but simply trampled over their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the smaller ancient creatures, unable to withstand the sparks and rolling on the ground, were not killed by the flames but were mostly trampled to death by other small ancient creatures.
