It is said that He Xibo has been the leader of this escort team for more than ten years, so one can imagine its high prestige.
"Brother Yuwen, you and I should go and observe the scale and types of the beast tide first. Even the big beast tides are divided into big and small, and the types of beasts are also weak and strong." He Xibo saw Yuwen Zhouyuan Queen at a glance and said,
He came over and said so.
"Since Brother He said this, Yuwen was naturally very happy." Yuwen Zhouyuan was startled, but he immediately agreed.
To be honest, although Yuwen Zhouyuan didn't really pay attention to the "beast tide" composed of some ordinary beasts and low-level monsters, he was still somewhat curious in his heart.
Now that I can open my eyes first, I won't refuse this matter.
When the two walked to the street outside the inn, they found that the outside was also completely different. The originally bustling street had become sparsely populated, and even these few passers-by were walking in a hurry and in a panic.
There were several times more beast chariots on the street, and vehicles pulled by one or several monsters could be seen running wildly everywhere. In addition to these beast chariots, there were also horse-bodied and minotaur beasts from the Fengyu Merchant Alliance being ridden.
They were riding and running among them. However, these knights wore uniform uniforms of Fuyao City guards, and while speeding, they loudly announced the arrival of the beast tide and the order of martial law in the city.
The content of the order is nothing more than that except for the innate warriors and soldiers in the city, other ordinary residents must stay in their residences and are not allowed to go out at will. Anyone who goes out without permission to hinder the resistance against the beast tide will be killed without mercy.
Just as Yuwen Zhouyuan and He Xibo were also riding two horse-bodied minotaurs towards the nearest city wall, on the top of a tower-like building in the south of Fuyao City, a big man in purple robes stood
In front of a window in the tower, he pressed the window sill with one hand and put his other hand behind his back, silently looking into the distance with an extremely gloomy face.
Suddenly the door of the room was pushed open, and a soldier covered in clear bone armor walked in quickly, knelt down in front of the big man in red robes, and reported in a low voice: "Lord Qi,
It has now been discovered that there are three waves of invading beasts, namely the snow jackal beasts from the Ladaqinli Grassland, the blood locusts and the flying monster beasts from the Black Ridge Mountains."
"Sure enough, these three groups of beasts attacked. This is a big trouble. If the other groups of beasts are okay, the snow jackal beasts and blood locust beasts have not had a beast tide for more than three hundred years. I'm afraid there are more of them now.
Astonishing. Those flying monsters and beasts are even more troublesome. This city's air force is its weakest point. Although it borrowed a batch of strong bows and crossbows from other cities in advance, it also quickly purchased a batch. But ordinary
Crossbow arrows are of little use against monsters and beasts." The big man in red robes sighed lightly, with a bit of anxiety on his brows.
"Didn't your Excellency order a batch of crystal arrows and demon-breaking crossbows from the Wind and Rain Merchant Alliance? With these characteristics of the crossbows, they should be able to hold the air, not to mention the monks who came to assist, they can fly in the air.
It is also a great help for air defense. With their help, those flying monsters and beasts should not pose a threat." The soldier consoled him.
"Now all I can think about is this. You arrange those monks together to monitor the movement of species. Just give the snow jackal beast and blood locust beast to the innate warriors and ordinary soldiers to deal with them. By the way, the recruitment is scattered.
The strength will be prepared as soon as possible and used in turns among the guards." The big man in red robes ordered again.
"Yes, sir!" The soldier agreed, then stepped back and carried out the order.
The big man in red robes, the lord of Fuyao City, turned his head and looked out the window, his face darkening again.
Yuwen Zhouyuan stood on a certain wall of Fuyao City, looking at the scene in the distance. Although his expression seemed calm, he was a little shocked inside.
I saw that dozens of miles away from the city wall, the original loess-colored ground had turned into a vast expanse of white. The endless clear ocean seemed to have submerged everything. However, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a
There are snow-white jackals of different shapes and sizes, each with green eyes and a snow-white body. Their fangs are slightly exposed, showing their ferocious appearance.
There are so many of these jackals that it is impossible to tell how many thousands there are. Most of these snow jackals do not say a word. Only individual jackals howl continuously, one after another, as if they are transmitting some message to each other.
.
"Fortunately, this is just the most common snow jackal beast. If we encounter a red jackal beast, a yellow jackal beast, or even a rare golden jackal beast, I am afraid that based on the number of these jackal beasts, Fuyao City will definitely be unable to resist it!" Station
He Xibo, who was next to Yu Wen Zhouyuan, looked a little pale, clenched his hands secretly and murmured.
"Golden jackal beast!" When Yuwen Zhouyuan heard the words of He Xibo, a man with a scarred face and eyes, he immediately came back to his senses from the astonishing number of jackal beasts, and said "Eh" with a strange expression.
"What? Brother Yuwen has never seen a golden jackal before? Among several kinds of jackals, the golden jackal is the most difficult to deal with. An ordinary golden jackal can probably defeat more than ten snow jackals. One time before
I was lucky enough to see this kind of jackal in the tide of beasts. I still remember how terrifying they were." The scar-faced, squinty-eyed man was a little surprised and explained casually.
"If there are just these ordinary snow jackals, no matter how many there are, they are nothing to be afraid of when we humans have a high city to guard them. The scary thing is that the beasts are usually led by some low-cost monsters that have opened up their intelligence.
, there are also many mutant beasts between ordinary beasts and monster beasts. Although these mutant beasts do not have some incredible magical powers like the mutant monsters, they are enough compared to ordinary beasts.
What’s terrifying is that not only his size, strength, and speed are far superior to those of the same kind, but ordinary low-level innate warriors can’t deal with him one on one!” Fu Xibo, a big man with a scarred face and eyes, said solemnly.
"So troublesome! Are there many such mutated beasts in the herd?" Yuwen Zhouyuan asked with a frown.
"Basically, one mutated beast will appear among a thousand beasts." He Xibo thought about it briefly and said with uncertainty.
"Thousands?" Yuwen Zhouyuan glanced at the snow-white sea of beasts in the distance again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even if Yuwen Zhouyuan cannot accurately determine the number of these snow jackals, there are at least millions of them. With such a huge number, the number of mutant jackals must be in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.
So many mutated beasts are indeed a deadly force in the attack and defense of a city where no real-life monks will appear.
"Okay, let's go to other places and see how the rest of the beasts are doing." After watching for a while, He Xibo sighed and said, he seemed not to be optimistic about the prospects of this beast tide.
"Why, Brother He is a little worried about not being able to defend this city?" Although Yuwen Zhouyuan still followed the opponent down the huge city wall, he still asked with a smile.
"He is indeed a little worried. The past few times that the beasts have attacked and massacred the city were all small towns like Fuyao City that were newly established less than 10,000 years ago. They also coincided with the outbreak of large beast tides, and there was insufficient preparation in advance.
It was only broken down, and this time there were also flying demon beasts in the beast wave. There were not too many of these demon birds, but as soon as each one was born, it became a first-level demon beast, which could not be defended in the air.
If so, it's really dangerous." He Xibo looked worried.
"How can flying monsters and beasts be so scary?" Yuwen Zhouyuan's eyes flashed, as if he didn't believe it.
"In terms of individual strength, the flying demon beasts are not ranked very high among the demon birds in the beast tide, but their bodies are born with the ability to emit a highly toxic poison that would kill ordinary people if they smell it.
If you can't fight them up close, the only way is to shoot them down from a distance.
However, this kind of monster bird is a relatively flexible and fast race. If the anti-air force is insufficient, it will be difficult to truly block them, and the anti-air force of Fuyao City is the weakest point of the defense.
"He Xibo said slowly.
"The anti-air force is insufficient. Doesn't the Lord of Fuyao City know that this matter is serious?" Yuwen Zhouyuan said in great surprise.
By now the city lord must have known that almost all worldly power in human cities is in the hands of the city lord.
"What's the use of knowing it. I heard that this city suffered heavy losses during the last beast wave, and all the strength it had saved was exhausted. Restoring the current defense strength is the result of the city lord's hard work. I heard
We also borrowed some weapons and soldiers from other nearby cities, so we are naturally helpless against the air force." He Xibo actually said such words.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was speechless after hearing this.
Soon, when Yuwen Zhouyuan followed the scar-faced and blind-eyed man He Xibo to stand on the other city wall, he saw the red clouds in the sky that looked like rosy clouds. Needless to say, they must be a swarm of blood locusts. This swarm of blood locusts looked bigger than
The herd of snow jackals is also daunting.
The only good news is that this kind of blood locust has no poison in its mouth and does not spit poisonous mist, making it much easier to defend.
After Yuwen Zhouyuan saw giant locusts appearing from time to time in the blood locust cloud from a distance, which were many times larger than similar ones, he sighed secretly.
This kind of adult locust is more than a foot long, no smaller than an eagle. If an ordinary person is bitten by this giant locust, his bones and tendons will definitely be broken under the powerful mandible attack. And this kind of
The number of mutated giant locusts is naturally larger because the blood locust swarm is much larger than the snow jackal swarm.
After seeing the two kinds of beasts, Yuwen Zhouyuan was a little regretful that he did not see the flying demon beasts that He Xibo mentioned.
According to the scar-faced man He Xibo, this kind of flying demon birds usually live in hidden places, and the flock of flying demon birds will not show up until it is time to attack.
"What are the beasts waiting for now? Why didn't they attack immediately?" Yuwen Zhouyuan suddenly asked as he looked at the beasts in the distance.
"The beast herd is led by a demonic beast that has activated its spiritual intelligence. Naturally, it is impossible for them to attack in a swarm. They will definitely decide the time to launch an attack together after contacting the other two groups of beasts. Generally speaking, this time will take about one day.
, let's go, our Fengyu Merchant Alliance should also have received the order to prepare for the city. In this kind of battle, we are just a glimpse of the sea, and we will do our best. If we are lucky enough to break through the bottleneck or realize something during the fight, we will also
Not counting us taking such a risk to stay." He Xibo sneered one last time, then led Yuwen Zhouyuan around the city, and finally returned to the inn.
