Chapter 269 Defending the City (5)
Fran said disdainfully: "Who are you? You are still out of the city to fight. Why don't they go to heaven?"
Jacques had a good impression of the little fat man and said, "This is Fernando Asolin, I am in the defense range."
The little fat man walked to Alixia and smiled at her. Seeing this, Alixia moved to the side and gave up half of the stone under her butt. The little fat man sat down and said with a smile: "I am a native Chipewa. Although this is my first time participating in defense, I have experienced three beast tides. I still have a say in how the legion fights. If they don't leave the city, we will be under great pressure. Now we are so relaxed because most of the bugs are attracted."
Jacques nodded seriously and said, "Yeah, I heard that this is the case. But according to Fran, the 11th Legion has more than 3,000 people stationed in Chipeva. It is said that only 1,200 people were fighting out of the city, and another 1,200 people were rotated with them. So what about the other legion soldiers? Why do we have to force us to go up to defend?"
The little fat man took it out in his pocket, stretched his fist to Alixia beside him. Alixia glanced at him and spread his palms. The little fat man Fernando opened his hand and stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Alixia's hand.
He then took out a handful of melon seeds and said while eating them: "It's only the first day. It's time for the legion ants to be dispatched before the legion will all the legion fight."
Pera, who stood behind Marianne, interrupted and said, "Fernando, ah, you are Fernando from the caravan business, right?"
The little fat man smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Pera, our two families often deal with each other."
Pera immediately said to Marian: "Miss, Mr. Fernando's business is our largest buyer of corn and wheat, a big customer."
As soon as she heard a big customer, Marian, who had been drinking tea quietly, immediately lit up her eyes. Although corn and wheat were both her uncle's business, it did not affect her enthusiasm for customers. "Oh, Mr. Fernando from the original caravan trading company, I met for the first time. I am Marian West."
"Hello, hello, it's great to know you..."
The two businessmen immediately started chatting together, which was quite a pleasant conversation and they wished they had met too late.
Everyone was having a lot of chatting, only the second prince was a little depressed. In fact, he had been depressed for several days. Since the beast tide broke out, he had been unhappy. Only Claudia knew why he was anxious to return to the imperial capital.
Although the news that he escaped at sea should have been passed back to the empire through the York City Investigation Bureau, the later he went back, the more variables he would encounter. If anyone knew that he was with the envoy Claudia, it would be more than the Stuarts who wanted to kill them. The real power faction of the New World and the conservative faction of the Northern Region have been tortured by him in recent years, let alone his brother would take action if he had the chance.
The content of the chatting of others brushed through his ears, and he did not listen carefully, but was thinking about his own affairs.
After a while, the second prince asked, "Miss Pera, if I want to go to the city to do business, can I leave now?"
Pera replied: "It should be no big problem at night. I can take you to talk to the people in the city hall, but the strange beast must come back tomorrow morning before siege the city."
The second prince immediately said, "I'll bother you, I have to go back to the city to do something."
Claudia beside him asked in confusion: "Fran, do you want me to go with you?"
"No, I'll do it alone."
Soon Fran left under Pera's guidance.
After Fran left, Pella came back not long after, and everyone continued to chat. This could probably dispel the nervous fighting spirit from his body.
When Fran returned to the city, the city did not seem to be affected much by the beast tide. Even at night, there were still many people coming and going on the streets.
After several consecutive turn back and drilling the alley, Fran made sure that no one was following him and began to go to his destination.
What he was going to is the secret office of the Bureau of Investigation. Last time he met the head of the Bureau of Investigation there. If he wanted to leave Investigation on time and return to the imperial capital, he still had to rely on this person to exert his energy.
...
It was not until everyone was about to get back to their sleeping bag and fall asleep under the city wall that Fran hurried back, but his face was slightly better than before.
Jacques didn't notice Fran's return, and he was still discussing with Fernando how to resist the attack of the Legion ants.
It turns out that the legion ants have to persist until the last day of the beast tide before attacking. This is also the last attempt of the beast tide, and it is the time when the beast tide is truly terrifying.
Millions of ants one foot long rushed towards the city wall from all directions at the same time. Without some arrangements, according to their current defensive capabilities, they would not be able to resist it.
The city of Chipewa does have a back-up. When the second beast tide attacked the city, the method people thought of at that time has been used to this day, but it is also very effective.
After Fran returned, he found the opportunity to whisper a few words to Claudia. When Claudia heard this, she was full of joy, and then entered her sleeping bag with joy and fell asleep happily.
...
The next day, the insect swarm appeared on time, and it was still the same as the old way to attack the city.
However, the performance in the third defensive section is better than yesterday. There are more novices here. After experiencing the first day of the battle, they are more skillful in cooperation and have a better understanding of the defensive equipment and the characteristics of strange beasts.
The ranged teams responsible for point-killing performed better. They fully mastered the characteristics of insect action at the level of strange beasts. After prediction, point-killing is more efficient.
Lily and Alisha performed more eye-catchingly. Although the master and apprentice only used lightning arrows, their lightning arrows were faster and more powerful, and they could kill the Awakener-level alien beast insects with just one blow.
Moreover, the attack of lightning ignores the beetles and centipedes' shells. There are only burnt marks on the surface, and the internal organs are burned out by electric shock.
Jacques was relatively free, and many wolf spiders were dealt with by the ranged team before they got close to the city wall.
The only thing that made him come out of his phone in this day was that a strange beast, mantis, flew up the city wall with a fireball and Fabian's arrow, waving two sickle-like front legs toward the human next to him.
However, the awakened people who controlled the equipment on the city wall had experienced more than a day of battle and had accumulated some experience. When they saw a strange beast falling to the wall, several nearby people immediately left the equipment and scattered birds and beasts, freeing up space for the energy-shaping operators to deal with the strange beasts.
Pera held the shield to block the mantis's slash. Jacques, who came from behind, threw out a sword aura five meters away, splitting the mantis' fat abdomen vertically, splashing out a pool of green water.
However, the last blow to the strange beast mantis was Duan Haide. Heide, who had been using long-distance attacks, took out a spear from somewhere, stabbed it into the mantis's little head from the side, and nailed it to the wall of the mercer.
The alien beast mantis's vitality is also quite tenacious. He waved his front paws randomly and persisted for a minute before stopping his struggle.
