Sure enough, the guards at the inn had received an order from Fuyao City and had to set off immediately to gather somewhere to prepare for war.
The man in brocade robes and other monks from the Yin Yang Sect were invited away early.
He Xibo didn't hesitate at all, and immediately gave an order, and all the more than 200 guards from the Fengyu Merchant Alliance set off and walked out of the inn in a mighty manner.
At this time, on the streets outside, there were also many private teams and innate warriors recruited from the Merchant Alliance.
It's just that most of them are not as numerous and tough as the Fengyu Merchant Alliance Guards. They range from five or six people to dozens of people walking together.
As Yu Wen Zhouyuan and others walked along, they naturally attracted special attention. The more than fifty knights riding unicorns and minotaurs among them attracted even more attention.
After all, this kind of mount is one of the few war beasts that humans have tamed in the Taihuang Mountain cultivation world. Each one is carefully cultivated since childhood. Only after the wildness has been eliminated can it cooperate with the knight on it to display extraordinary strength.
So the price is quite high.
Only a wealthy merchant alliance like the Wind and Rain Merchant Alliance can afford to purchase so many war beasts for the escort team.
Everyone and others on the street were led to a huge square near a city wall, which was the part of the city facing the snow jackals.
There have already gathered tens of thousands of young and strong men with bare hands, as well as some teams with different costumes and scattered innate warriors.
There are also some people riding war beasts among them, but among so many people, including the knights of the Wind and Rain Merchant Alliance, there are only more than 200 of them. Around the square are some soldiers from Fuyao City who maintain order, all of them fully armed.
.
A middle-aged man wearing bronze armor stood at one end of the square, talking to a Confucian monk and a monk beside him. He seemed to be the leader.
When Yuwen Zhouyuan saw this person, his eyes focused and he realized that this person actually met the gatekeeper commander when he entered the city gate.
The monks and Confucian scholars beside them were naturally the two immortal cultivators who had been ordered to inspect their team. I don't know what the middle-aged man in the bronze armor was capable of, and he could still keep these two people under such circumstances.
At this time, the middle-aged man in bronze armor saw that the crowd seemed to have gathered, and waved his hand behind him without saying anything.
A soldier with a loud voice immediately stood up and issued a series of orders that he had prepared long ago.
The order was first to select all the knights with mounts in the field and form a separate cavalry team.
Then another group of lizard carts poured into the square. The soldiers unloaded a large number of weapons and a small amount of armor from the lizard carts, and then began to distribute them to some young and strong men.
As for those innate warriors, they naturally looked down on these ordinary weapons, and they all stood indifferently and watched.
At this time, another group of soldiers began to prepare the young and strong men who had been assigned weapons. These private teams such as Yuwen Zhouyuan and the scattered innate warriors were temporarily put aside and ignored for the time being.
Just when these private guards and innate warriors were a little startled, a long beast's hissing sound suddenly came from outside the city. The sound was extremely high and shrill, filled with a strong sense of madness.
Yuwen Zhouyuan narrowed his eyes when he heard about it. Before he could think about it carefully, all the beasts roared outside the city wall. The beasts roared straight into the sky, rolling in like thunder.
Those innate warriors were okay, but their faces were slightly calm, while ordinary people were horrified and felt that there was only the sound of beasts roaring in the world and nothing else.
But all this was just the beginning. From the other direction, a "hissing" sound and a weird whining beast roar also came from the other direction.
Although these sounds are not as terrifying as the howls of wolves, hearing them makes people feel even more chilled, with chills rising from their backs.
At this time, the communication drums set up on the distant city wall all sounded "dong dong" at almost the same time, and then a long man's voice was heard in the air. The sound was not loud, but it was clear.
The message reached the ears of no one in the entire square: "Everyone, be careful, the beast herd has begun to move towards the city wall!"
The person transmitting the message turned out to be a gray-robed monk from the True Yuan Stage. He stepped on a flying sword and stood high in the air to transmit the message.
And it was not this person who made the warning in the air. There was a monk with his weapon suspended in the sky above almost every part of Fuyao City, and they all issued warning sounds.
Suddenly, there was a commotion throughout Fuyao City. Groups of soldiers who had been preparing for the mission immediately set out to climb the city wall. The huge crossbow bolts on the city wall also immediately began to have people standing behind them and began to operate...
…
After everyone on the field was distracted for a while, the middle-aged man in bronze armor shouted loudly and accelerated the process of distributing weapons.
Finally, someone came over, and Yuwen Zhouyuan and other private armed forces and innate warriors also began to be organized into groups.
Because the war was about to begin, these formerly unruly innate warriors became extremely cooperative. In a short time, a team of two hundred people turned into a dozen teams.
The Wind and Rain Merchant Alliance itself has more than 200 people, so it naturally became an independent branch.
Those young and strong ordinary people were not used immediately as a reserve force. However, some of these innate warriors who had practiced various exercises and private armed forces who had undergone certain training were immediately sent to the city wall to assist the soldiers of Fuyao City in defense.
.
It's a coincidence that maybe because the people from the Fengyu Merchant Alliance are so eye-catching, they were among the first batch of people.
As a result, Yuwen Zhouyuan and other two hundred Fengyu Merchant Alliance guards were assigned to a section of the city wall, and they jointly defended this section with the thousands of soldiers there.
Yuwen Zhouyuan stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. He saw that the snow jackals had stopped howling and were slowly moving closer to this side. It was like a moving white carpet that made it impossible to see the end.
With so many snow jackals moving together, the "rustling" sounds came one after another, and they seemed to be in an unusually orderly manner. They unconsciously revealed an amazing momentum, which brought an unspeakable huge pressure to the people in the city.
Many soldiers turned pale. However, no one did any pre-war mobilization.
For ordinary people, if the city is destroyed, the only fate for them and their families in the city is to be buried in the belly of the beast. Therefore, even if they are extremely frightened, these soldiers will never stop resisting with all their strength when it comes to resisting the herd of beasts.
Therefore, after the captain-level low-ranking officers on each section of the city wall issued some orders to prepare for battle, no one said anything else, but quietly stood in line.
The snow jackal herd seemed to be moving slowly, but under everyone's gaze, it finally became clearer.
Some of the mutant jackals in the snow jackal group, which are almost twice the size of ordinary snow jackals, can also be seen clearly.
These horse-bodied minotaurs are scattered throughout the snow jackal herd. Although their bodies are also snow-white, their eyes have changed from black to a strange emerald green color. When their eyes flash, they seem to have a certain spiritual appearance.
Seeing this, Yuwen Zhouyuan frowned inadvertently. These mutated jackal beasts seemed really difficult to deal with, and there were so many of them. At this moment, he was standing with another giant man with a big body and a round waist, two feet tall.
Behind a Fuyao City officer in charge of this section of the city wall, this was the special suggestion made by He Xibo, who had experienced several beast tides.
Let Yu Wen and Zhouyuan be responsible for protecting this commander. After all, if something goes wrong with this person, the defense of this section will fall into a certain chaos.
That giant man is an innate warrior named Hu Yan from the Wind and Rain Merchant Alliance. He practices a weird technique that can make his body huge and generate huge strength at the same time. The bigger the body, the more amazing the strength. It is said that he has practiced
Reached a very high level.
Before Yuwen Zhouyuan came, he was the number one warrior in the guard team of the Wind and Rain Merchant Alliance.
Yuwen Zhouyuan served as the deputy leader of the escort team, and he was one of the few people who were unconvinced and wanted to provoke him.
However, when Yuwen Zhouyuan pulled up a rockery stone weighing several thousand kilograms with both hands and easily threw it into the air, the man was shocked and felt that he was inferior on the spot.
Now Yuwen Zhouyuan is holding a seemingly ordinary thick-backed knife with one hand, while the giant man is carrying a special mace two feet long. The two of them are following closely behind the officer, one on the left and the other on the right.
This officer was in his thirties, slightly tall and thin, wearing a suit of iron armor and carrying a long sword at his waist. Although his face was ordinary, his eyes were full of light when he turned, and he had an aura of calmness and self-power.
It seems that although he is an ordinary officer in the army, he is also an innate warrior with a high level of cultivation.
This is not surprising. Among the mortals in the Taihuang Mountain cultivation world, innate warriors who have achieved a little success in cultivation originally accounted for more than half of the people who joined the human city army. Among them, there are many terrifying beings who have practiced the chair refining technique to the extreme. Even those
Even high-level immortal cultivators dare not ignore it.
Just as Yuwen Zhouyuan was watching the Yu City Wall with an expressionless expression as the beasts were getting closer and closer like a snow-colored tide, suddenly there was a deep and loud "bang bang" sound behind him, followed by more than a hundred red fireballs with a volume of several feet.
, shot out from somewhere in the city and hit the wolves who were only a few miles away from the city wall.
There was a loud "rumbling" sound, and hundreds of fire clouds erupted in the group of snow jackals. In an instant, more than a hundred nearby snow jackals were involved, burning their flesh to pieces and rotting on the spot, and they died.
Although it is just an ordinary flame, these snow jackals are just ordinary beasts and naturally have no resistance to such a fierce fire.
Seeing this scene, Yuwen Zhouyuan's expression changed and he looked back.
I saw that in an open space not far behind the city wall, things similar to human trebuchets were placed in several rows. There were hundreds of them.
A large number of soldiers were placing red spherical objects inside, and then a man waved his commanding hand, and these objects were projected out, turning into huge fireballs that were the same as before, drawing a line.
He followed an arc and fell into the herd of beasts on the other side of the city wall at just the right time.
Suddenly, a large number of snow jackals were turned into burnt corpses.
It was only two waves of attacks, and nearly 20,000 snow jackals were wiped out immediately. The power was not small. Just when Yuwen Zhouyuan was a little surprised, he suddenly found that after two waves were sent out, the attack stopped abruptly.
