Frost City is one of the border cities of the Crimson Kingdom near the ice field. It is a city with a population of 30,000.
On top of the city wall, the soldiers stretched lazily, lying on the fence of the city wall, looking casually outside the city wall.
Because this place has never been attacked by enemies since the establishment of the kingdom, even though it is a border city, the soldiers are somewhat lax.
"What did you do last night? Why do you look so listless?"
A soldier with small eyes looked at a companion next to him with confusion and asked.
"I went to the store in the east of the city last night. There were a few girls in the store. Their skin and feel..."
The companion next to him, a soldier with a big nose, chuckled and showed a meaningful smile.
"Is there a new girl? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's go together after the shift starts..."
The small-eyed soldier suddenly felt hot in his heart, wishing that it was time for his shift immediately so that he could go to the store in the east of the city to take care of their business.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, a heavy sound like a drum suddenly sounded, accompanied by a slight vibration on the ground.
"what happened?"
The small-eyed soldiers and the big-nosed soldiers looked towards the outside of the city wall with doubts on their faces.
In the distant horizon, a wide spreading dark cloud was quickly approaching. Only after looking closely did I realize that it was not a dark cloud, but a herd of wild beasts and blood beasts.
It was densely packed and black, with no end in sight. Among them, one after another huge blood beast could be clearly seen.
"A tide of beasts, a tide of beasts, close the city gate quickly!"
The two of them broke out in cold sweat and screamed in fear.
Clang, clang, clang!
The city gate closed, the alarm bell rang, and the rapid tolling of the bell spread throughout the city.
"What's wrong?"
"Why is the ground shaking?"
The residents of the city walked out of their houses one by one with doubtful faces, and then, a doomsday scene appeared in front of them.
The tall city wall collapsed, and a large number of wild beasts and blood beasts rushed into the city, including many terrifying blood beasts several meters tall.
They rampage, knocking down houses and trampling over people.
There were screams everywhere, blood and flesh splattered, but within a short moment, the city had turned into a deserted and dead city.
The entire city was trampled to the ground, and the ground was covered in blood and mud, both from wild beasts and from residents of the city.
At the same time, the same thing happened in other cities on the border of the Crimson Kingdom.
The terrifying tide of beasts continued to push in. Wherever it passed, no one survived and it was a ruin.
It was not until the royal family of the Crimson Kingdom got the news and urgently dispatched king-level experts that the beast tide was finally stopped.
But the number of people who died in this beast wave has reached millions.
For the Crimson Kingdom, today is destined to be a disaster day that will go down in history.
The news that the Crimson Kingdom encountered a beast wave that had not been seen in hundreds of years spread quickly, spreading throughout the entire Crimson Kingdom and reaching the Gemstone, Purple Moon, and Flame Kingdoms.
Everyone who got the news couldn't help but be shocked and horrified. They were shocked by the scale of the beast tide and shocked by the number of casualties.
"A once-in-a-century beast wave occurred in the Crimson Kingdom, and millions of people died?"
After receiving the news, Gray remained silent for a long time. There was no gloating on his face, only shock.
At the Three Kingdoms Exchange Meeting, it was not pleasant to get along with the Crimson Kingdom. Not only were they targeted by a group of noble children from the Crimson Kingdom, but in the end, because they were suspected of practicing mixed blood magic, the Crimson King's king-level expert who led the team was once Take action against him.
But even so, when he learned the news, Gray's first reaction was not happiness, but extreme depression.
How tragic is it that millions of people died like this
The bones were enough to pile up several mountains of corpses, and the blood was enough to form a lake.
Millions of people, millions of lives that were once alive, just disappeared.
Among them, there must be young girls who are in the most brilliant age of their lives.
There must be children who are ignorant and curious about the future.
There must be men and women who are in love.
…
But with a wave of beasts, everything disappeared.
This is a disaster worthy of being recorded in history!
"The beast tide cannot happen for no reason. There must be some kind of change deep in the ice field that led to the beast tide. What kind of change was it?"
Gray held his chin with one hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
More than a hundred years ago, the Purple Moon Kingdom also encountered a beast tide from the endless ice field. However, that beast tide was far less intense than the one in the Crimson Kingdom. Only more than 100,000 people died there. Under the tide of beasts.
The Purple Moon Kingdom sent strong men to explore the cause of the beast tide, and found that a ruin from the empire had appeared. The beast tide was caused by the movement of the ruin.
It is said that after the Purple Moon Kingdom explored this ruins, it gained a huge harvest. There were more than one silver-level magic weapons, and there were also many magic potions that still retained their medicinal effects.
More than 300 years ago, the Gem Kingdom also encountered a tide of beasts from the endless ice field, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people.
After investigation, we found out that it was caused by the emergence of a tomb of a magic light-level expert from the Empire era.
In the cemetery of the magic light-level powerhouse, the Gem Kingdom obtained three extremely precious bottles of magic potion. It is said that each bottle of magic potion is enough to create a king-level powerhouse.
"Is it the ruins of the empire, or is it the emergence of the king's cemetery? The movement this time is so big, I'm afraid the scale will be unprecedentedly powerful!"
Gray had the desire in his heart to explore the endless ice field.
To trigger such a terrifying beast tide, the movement in the depths of the endless ice field must be extremely huge, and the greater the movement, the greater the benefits gained from exploration.
This made him have the urge to explore.
Today, he is no longer weak in strength. The terrifyingly enhanced body gives him the capital to compete with the second level of the desolate level. Coupled with the blood beast ability that barely reaches the second level of the desolate level, even if he encounters the second level of the desolate level, In existence, you have to fight to know who wins and who loses.
And if you include Stannie Glinton, his combat power can even reach the third level of the wild level. Such a powerful combat power has already qualified for a trial.
At this moment, a giant bird covered in blue hair and with a wingspan of one meter appeared in the sky above Fergus Castle.
It hovered over Fergus Castle. When it spotted Gray, it quickly lowered its altitude. Finally, it retracted its wings, landed on its feet, and stood not far from Gray.
This is the ferocious blood beast Wind Eagle, but it was trained as a messenger bird by the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom. It is responsible for delivering letters from the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom.
Gray looked at Feng Ying's feet, and sure enough he saw a ribbon tied to one of the feet. He untied the ribbon and saw an envelope with the royal symbol of the Purple Moon Kingdom.
Opening the letter and scanning the contents, Gray smiled.
There were only a few lines in the letter, but the content was to invite him to accompany the royal family to explore the endless ice fields.
It is not mandatory, but an invitation. If Gray is willing, he will rush to a city near the endless ice field in the Crimson Kingdom within a week to meet up. If he is not willing, it is not forced.
After writing a reply and tying it to Wind Eagle's feet, Gray released Wind Eagle.
It was certain to accept the invitation. He had already planned to explore the endless ice fields. Now that he was invited by the royal family to go and explore together, he was naturally very happy.
Although his own strength is not weak, his safety is undoubtedly more guaranteed by following the royal family.
"We'll get to the border of the Crimson Kingdom near the ice sheet within a week. We're a bit pressed for time, so we have to set off as soon as possible."
After saying hello to everyone in the Fergus family, Gray set off for the Crimson Kingdom that day.
Without a carriage, it was impossible to arrive within a week by an ordinary carriage. He temporarily released Stannie Glinton's control and replaced the control object with a bear that was 7 meters long and covered in khaki hair. Blood type beast.
This is the Desolate Level Blood Beast Desolate Bear. It was obtained by Gray in exchange for meritorious deeds on the battlefield with the Flame Kingdom. He had the ability to control gravity during his lifetime, but of course he no longer has it now.
Although its combat power is not as good as that of Stannie Glinton, it is undoubtedly very suitable as a transportation tool.
Boom, boom, boom!
Along the trade road, the 7-meter-long wild bear, which weighed several tons, walked on all fours. It encountered many caravans along the way, causing a commotion.
They thought it was an attack by high-level blood beasts, especially during this special period when the Crimson Kingdom was attacked by a tide of beasts. Almost everyone was frightened, and it was even easier to cause panic.
The panic didn't stop until they saw Gray sitting upright on the giant bear. What was left was unstoppable wonder and curiosity, and they all speculated on Gray's identity.
Gray was not the only one causing panic. The royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom, the Kenneth family, the Addison family, and the Nahum family were also in such a hurry, obviously wanting to rush to the endless ice field as soon as possible to gain an advantage.
"The next blood beast blood you take must be Storm Falcon!"
Sitting on the wild bear, Gray regretted slightly that he did not yet have the bloodline of avian blood beasts and could not use the power of blood to simulate flying with wings.
Although the flying ability of bird blood beasts is not necessarily faster than that of land animals, it is perfect for use on the road.
After all, flying in the sky is a straight line, but running on the ground will encounter various obstacles and take many detours. Generally speaking, the speed of birds and blood beasts is different in the same realm. slow.
Moreover, Gray's current ability to control corpses, after controlling Stannie Glinton, could no longer control others. In order to control this wild bear, he released his control on Stannie Glinton.
This will inevitably lead to his strength not being at its strongest. If he encounters an enemy on the way, it will undoubtedly be a very bad situation.
The Wild Bear traveled in his place. Although it was not comparable to the bird-blood beasts in the same realm, it only took two days to enter the Crimson Kingdom.
Rushing to the border of the Crimson Kingdom near the ice field, within three days, he entered the area hardest hit by the beast tide in the border area of the Crimson Kingdom.
