T City.
The disaster left this beautiful city in ruins. The city was crowded with refugees fleeing from all over the place. The beast army led by the gnolls swept across the surrounding land. The strongholds built around it had been uprooted. At this time, those who had managed to escape hid in the city.
Because only the city can provide them with shelter at this time. Those simple fences and walls can't stop the beasts at all, but even if there are towering walls here, they were still severely damaged in the previous siege battle.
There are many giant monsters among the enemies, such as elephants, rhinos, and even giraffes. These creatures are already huge in size, and they become even more terrifying after mutation.
The beasts were originally scattered around and did not form a terrifying scale, but with the arrival of the gnolls, all this became beyond people's expectations.
The wild beasts that were originally scattered unexpectedly united together. With their violent power and astonishing numbers, City T, which had originally had the upper hand, suddenly fell to the bottom. Not only was its stronghold uprooted, but even the city suffered heavy damage.
The real murderer behind the scenes is not a simple character.
Gnoll.
Strength is the theme of this barbaric society. The strongest and most deadly gnolls are the leaders of the tribe, while the weakest are usually just spare food. So living in gnoll society is a highly intense activity, and any sign of weakness will bring destruction. It is really difficult for such a society to progress.
Gnolls have no concept of single combat, preferring to attack when they have a numerical advantage, overwhelming their opponents with human waves and their sheer strength. If there is a particularly strong leader, the Gnolls can fight in unity with clear division of labor; otherwise, they are completely undisciplined in battle.
The tactics of the Gnolls are simple and easy to understand: if you have more people, you attack; if the enemy has more people, you retreat. In this day and age, cooperation is important, so the Gnolls also like to fight with more people against fewer people.
If the situation allows, they will mostly choose ambush tactics, and are good at using darkness and terrain to gain the upper hand. They are not used to fighting to the death, and tend to be pessimistic in their assessment of the battle situation.
Being able to organize such a force in a very short time and launch an attack on City T, it is obvious that the other side has an outstanding leader.
Putting aside the strength, this knowledge alone is enough to make people feel terrified.
Not long ago, a tide of beasts attacked the city. As a prosperous city, there are certainly many awakened professionals. Among them, there are three amazing people who, through their talents and supplies, have reached the peak of silver and are considered the guardians of this city.
But as the beast tide arrived, at the last moment of the decisive battle, one person was killed by the jackal leader, while the other two, at the cost of one death and one injury, managed to repel the beast tide, allowing T City to catch its breath.
In a short period of time, City T, which had once been a city of hope due to its coastal location, became depressed as if it had entered a cold winter, following the beast tide and the death of two guardians.
What’s even more terrifying is that after paying such a heavy price, the instigator of the beast tide was only injured and his life was not in danger at all.
In the past few days, there has been news that the wild beasts have begun to gather again. No one knows when those terrible beasts will attack the city again.
People are in panic.
During this period, everyone had a very hard time.
There was a deafening cry.
A large number of survivors gathered in the square, but most of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children. All the adult men had been recruited as soldiers. There was no other way. The beasts were too ferocious. The soldiers in the city alone could not stop the beasts like waves.
The cries of children could be heard all around, and mothers were comforting their children while crying. They had all lost their loved ones in the war to varying degrees.
They lacked food.
The city’s magical farmlands were destroyed and 70% of the food in the city was lost. In addition, some fishing boats were destroyed and there were not enough ships to salvage. The entire city was in famine.
This is a very painful thing.
The people gathered in the square have not had a full meal for a long time. The food distributed by the city is only a small sesame cake, which is not enough even for a child, let alone an adult
In the face of disasters, the lower class people are always the ones who suffer the most. They have no power to stop it, nor are they the culprits of this war, but as the weak, they pay for this disaster.
In the past few days, everything that could be eaten in the city had been eaten. Even some trees had been gnawed by people's teeth and turned into white wooden stakes.
But this still doesn't alleviate any problems.
Some people couldn't bear the hunger and started committing suicide. Every day, a large number of corpses were found in the corners of the city. This city was like a rotten old man, on the verge of leaving.
… … … … … …
In the center of the city, which is similar to an orderly office, dozens of people gathered in a spacious room. Compared with the ordinary people wailing outside, these people had rosy complexions and were dressed in bright clothes, which formed a glaring contrast.
Professional.
Without exception, these people are all professionals. As beings blessed by God, they get far more food and resources than ordinary people.
The whole city is like a pyramid, and these people are undoubtedly the rows at the top of the pyramid.
But now, these people were a little different from usual. Everyone's face was filled with anxiety, and they kept looking up at the house in front of them, as if there was something important in there that influenced their thoughts.
"Crack..."
The sound of the door opening was heard, and for a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the door. It was an old man. As a professional with awakened healing abilities, he was the most outstanding medical worker in T City.
However, the old man who saved countless lives and was once given countless good names now looked dispirited. He looked at everyone with a bitter smile on his face and shook his head helplessly.
At this time, too many words are not needed. The expression on his face has already expressed too much information.
Seeing each other's appearance, everyone looked pale and some people even felt weak and collapsed to the ground.
"It's over..."
"The last guardian of T City is also dead..."
"This city... is really finished..."
