"This is all the work of patrolling the city wall, which is quite leisurely, mainly monitoring the commercial passages outside the city for any danger and occasionally checking inside the city. Work hard for a month, and then you can apply to go to the villages outside the city." Johnny yawned and found a spot on the city wall to sit down.

"Senior, you patrol all day long. Don't you feel bored or that it's a waste? Don't you want to protect villages in 'Paradise' where it's more practical?" Hearing Holland's words, Johnny remained unperturbed.

"This question is often asked by newcomers. Don't underestimate the noble duty of patrolling the city wall."

As the two were discussing, Holland noticed that the forest in the distance near the main gate was shaking. "Senior, did you see that?"
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEdusckVDY
Johnny followed the direction indicated by Holland and saw that the trees on both sides of the commercial passage had been pushed aside, and thick smoke was rising from the center. Suddenly, a burning giant sphere erupted from the shadows and flew towards the city wall.

Because it happened so suddenly, neither of them nor the other guards had time to react. It struck the Thunder Cannon directly in the center and caused a violent explosion, destroying a large part of the city wall above. Fragments of stone, metal, and burning wood were scattered on the bustling main street near the gate, injuring many pedestrians, and flames spread to the shops on the street.

"Holland, I thought you said the city wall was the safest place?" Johnny immediately ordered the guards to close the city gate and commanded the others to prepare near the Thunder Cannon.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDvv5cyLGQ
"Senior... You said this place was the safest when there was no danger."
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP41PzBHjS
"Stay at your post! Guards, can the Thunder Cannon still be used?" Johnny was anxious, but his ten years of experience helped him quickly organize the guards to respond.

"Report! It's recharging, but it will take twenty seconds."

"Everyone, equip your Firebird Rifles!"

At this moment, a giant ape-like creature made entirely of rocks emerged from the forest. It was approximately the same height as the city wall. Its hind legs were slender, and it walked with the support of its powerful and strong forelimbs. Smoke emanated from the joints all over its body. Its eyes were small holes in the rocks, and flames burned within them.

The monster advanced step by step. Although Johnny had never encountered it before, the crisis was right before their eyes, and they couldn't just sit and wait. He ordered everyone to use their Firebird Rifles to stop it. The bullets struck the hard rock surface and didn't seem to faze it much, but it slowed down its pace somewhat.

Holland was so excited that he wanted to jump off the city wall and attack. "Idiot, stop! Do you want to get yourself killed? One flick of its finger could turn you into minced meat. Use the Firebird Rifles to buy us time for recharging!"

At this point, Johnny raised his rifle and aimed at the creature's hollow eyes and fired. Flames erupted from the holes, and more smoke billowed from the creature's body. It pounded its chest, seeming affected by the attack from earlier, so Johnny signaled everyone to aim at the eye cavities and continue shooting.

"Report! Recharging complete."
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhxH3NW3VT
"I hope it's still operational. Lock onto the target's head and fire!"
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyH04BrLmG
At Johnny's command, the Thunder Cannon roared, and two large shells flew toward the creature. The Thunder Cannon was essentially a large Firebird Rifle with the same principles. However, due to years of disrepair, the gun barrel couldn't handle the strain and also broke after firing.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw3Dr8XbJt
"Relying on these antiques is indeed quite challenging..." Johnny was extremely anxious at this point, hoping that the last shot would be effective.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tf2DfKTfk
The monster raised its arms high and received the attacks in its palms. The shells triggered a powerful explosion and produced a lot of smoke. When the smoke cleared, everyone saw that the attacks had not harmed the creature, and it continued to pound its chest and roar, as if mocking the previous attacks.

Now that the Thunder Cannon was destroyed and the Firebird Rifles couldn't inflict serious damage, what could they do?
