At the City Lord's Mansion, many family leaders gathered here.
"I have called everyone here today to tell you that... there may be a beast wave in the near future."
The city lord's words instantly made many families feel uneasy. This uneasiness caused many families to lose a lot of manpower and material resources...
Although resisting the beast tide is something that all big families should and must do, there is some reluctance in their hearts.
"Every few years, the beast tide comes once every few years. The beasts outside are getting more powerful each time, and we are getting worse and worse every time. There is no way to go on like this," Li Zixiong said
Li Zixiong, the current head of the Li family of the four major families, has a good relationship with Shen Yan, the head of the Shen family, but does not get along well with the Xiao family and the Xia family of the four major families.
"Master Li family, I know what you are going to say, but with our current strength, it is very difficult to wipe them all out."
"Think about it, City Lord! Every few years we have to contribute a large number of powerful geniuses to the battlefield, but we will die more and live less," Shen Yan agreed.
Shen Yan and Li Zixiong said these words because they wanted to temporarily embarrass the city lord in this meeting.
"After all, there is no way around it."
"Eh..., you are wrong City Lord, after all..." Shen Yan wanted to continue but didn't want to say anything anymore.
The city lord also guessed the purpose of the two of them, but now there are so many people and it is inconvenient to talk.
"Does the head of the Shen family think that the city lord does not do enough every time?" said the head of the Xiao family.
"How is this possible? If even the city lord has to contribute less, then it's okay, everyone agrees, right?"
"...That's right" "That's true..."
"After all, the city lord is always on the front line, but..." Shen Yan stopped mid-sentence.
"Forget it, let's save these words until the beast tide is over. Let's talk about the beast tide first." The city lord's words finally put the topic in perspective.
After the meeting, in the city lord's room
The great elder said to the city lord, "The city lord's quota for the battlefield this time includes your daughter. I'm afraid... does she need it..."
The city lord waved his hand, "It's okay. Everyone has to go to the battlefield to gain experience anyway. You can also ask Xia Lingxue if she is willing."
"After all, everything she does is paving the way for him," the city lord thought.
"Did you just want him to die heroically on the battlefield during the meeting to balance the gap?" the city lord was thinking in his heart.
"By the way, is there any news about Xia Yongming?"
"The young master wrote a letter a few days ago saying that he was back on his way back."
"That's good." The city lord was happy.
The great elder left after the report. The city lord lay on the chair with a trace of tiredness in his eyes.
"City Lord, do you need my help?" A masked man appeared in front of the City Lord.
The city lord jumped down from his chair when he saw him, ready to enter combat mode at any time
"Who is he? Why didn't I feel it when he came in? Why did he take the initiative to help me?..."
"Don't worry, I don't come here with murderous intentions. I sincerely want to help the city lord." The masked man said with a smile.
"His aura can't even be detected by my third level of martial arts. If he really does it, I'm afraid..." The city lord began to worry.
"Then what do you know? What do you want to do for me? And who are you?"
"City Lord, please be careful that walls have ears. I can make elixirs, forge weapons, carve talismans... I can help you with anything, but my identity..."
The city lord didn't believe that the masked man in front of him had this ability, but the masked man began to write down his purpose of coming here on paper, and he also presented an item to the city lord.
When the city lord saw what was written on the paper and the item, he had to be convinced, and then the two reached a consensus.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye
Yi Zifeng, who was still sleeping, was woken up by the "gentle" words of the soldier. Yi Zifeng looked at the city wall. The city wall was crowded with people and there were traps everywhere under the city wall.
Yi Zifeng looked at the bright sunshine, stretched out, and took a deep breath of cool air. He felt that he had not been as relaxed as he was today for a long time.
Yi Zifeng and the others were arranged under the city wall. When Yi Zifeng was under the city wall, he saw a face on the wall that he was so familiar with—Shen Xiu.
Time passed minute by minute, and the footsteps not far away were getting closer and closer. No matter whether they were under the city wall or on the city wall, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw your huge lineup.
"Avenge our compatriots! Kill!" the three leaders roared.
"Kill!" The humans also began to boost morale.
"The horn of war has sounded. I'm looking forward to your performance, Yi Zifeng."
The monster beasts led the battle with wolves, the pale giant apes were the central defenders, and the snow foxes and other races were responsible for supporting and fighting guerrillas.
Humans kept firing rockets and throwing flints in an attempt to slow down the marching speed of the monsters.
The wolves ran too fast. Except for the veterans with rich field experience, most of the soldiers could only fire empty arrows and had to shoot at the giant apes.
But the defense of the pale giant apes was too strong, and less than a hundred of them fell down after being shot for a long time.
When the wolves were four hundred meters away, a large piece of sharp bamboo pole protruded from the ground, and nearly a thousand wolves disappeared in an instant.
But this kind of trap is useless once it is triggered.
Among the wolves, some wolves jumped over the bamboo poles, and some wolves directly broke the bamboo poles and continued moving forward.
Soon the wolves came to the second line of defense. The ground was covered with deep and numerous pits. Once the wolves fell in, they would only be greeted by sharp thorns coated with poison.
The number of wolves dropped sharply, but the deep pit was explored by the wolves with their numerical advantage.
The third line of defense is a simple moat, but its distance is 20 meters at the nearest and 30 to 40 meters at the farthest. Only a few agile people can jump across it, but even if they do, they will be outnumbered.
So now we need the giant apes to throw them over, but now the giant apes still have a few minutes to reach here.
But now humans have opened the city gates and launched an attack on the wolves. Once the pale giant apes arrive here, not only the current people will be sacrificed, but innocent people will also be implicated.
Yi Zifeng, who is on the fourth line of defense, believes that opening the city gate now is not the best time, but when the pale giant apes are very far away or when their arms are injured.
If the opponent's strength is not clear yet, opening the city gate now is like telling the enemy to "come in quickly." Although he doesn't know where he learned the military law, he knows that it is too early to open it now.
When the city gate opened, some people around Yi Zifeng began to feel uneasy, but Yi Zifeng didn't care because he wanted to live and had to live.
The wolves were originally isolated and helpless. When the city gate was opened, the snow fox hiding behind the pale giant ape came out and came to the wolves with the advantage of being fast and agile alone. The situation of the battle was directly reversed.
Then the main force led by the white wolf leader and the snow fox leader rushed down from the two mountains on the left and right, and most of the monster's troops reached the city in an instant.
Facing the sudden appearance of so many troops, some soldiers were helpless, and now human casualties began to appear.
"Xia Zhenxiong, you lead 20,000 soldiers to intercept the monsters at the gate of the city. Shen Yan, you lead 30,000 soldiers to cover us on the city wall. The remaining tens of thousands of people charge with me!" the city lord yelled!
"yes!"
Yi Zifeng looked at the battle in front of him, his head felt like it was going to explode, as if he had never seen these scenes before.
I saw the white wolf constantly fighting in the crowd. Its roar could make several people lose their hearing. The armor could not stop it from speaking sharply.
At this time, Bai Lang noticed something strange. Regardless of his own people or the enemy, Bai Lang rushed forward and came directly to Xia Lingxue.
Xia Lingxue looked at the huge white wolf with three sides in front of her, with some fear in her eyes.
Bai Lang directly pressed Xia Lingxue to the ground with his paws, "You smell like my son, tell me if you killed me."
Xia Lingxue had no power at all in the face of fear and pressure. The city lord wanted to save Xia Lingxue but was stopped by the leader of the Snow Fox.
"Ah la la, isn't this the city lord? Where are you in such a hurry?"
"Step aside!"
"What if I say no?"
Xia Lingxue remained silent on the ground, and now Bai Lang directly asserted that his son was killed by the human woman in front of him.
"Since you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence."
The white wolf began to wave his claws and hit Xia Lingxue hard.
