The next morning, Qingzhe City.
The news of the beast tide outbreak had been confirmed a few days ago. For a time, countless cities fell into panic.
Qingzhe City is one of them. This second-class city located at the forefront of the war zone of the wartime alliance has entered the first-level war preparation state since a few days ago. No one is not nervous about the upcoming beast tide...
Although Qingzhe City had sent out an emergency military document asking for help a few days ago, I heard that there were signs of beast tides breaking out in various places, and the battle lines elsewhere were also quite tight, so it was impossible to dispatch manpower to help at this time...
Many people have thought of this, so a few days ago, some small families who noticed something was wrong had already fled the city with their families... But for such a weak team, how easy is it to survive in the current situation where the beast tide is raging everywhere and reach the next big city
Besides, where can you escape to
In today's war zone, there are not many so-called "safe" areas.
The perceptive and alert people even realized that facing this terrifying beast tide, the entire wartime alliance would not be "safe"...
Therefore, escape has almost become a dead end.
"Then let's fight to the death."
This thought arose in the minds of all the soldiers in Qingzhe City.
…
…
In front of the brutal beasts, the city walls, including the city screens of second-class cities, were of little significance... Especially when it was roughly discovered that the beast tide attacking this time included huge beasts, and the number was no less than a hundred... The city lord made a prompt decision and decided to send out all the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers at hand to rely on the camp outside the city to fight a decisive battle with them.
In this way, not only can they rely on the traps set up outside the city to resist the vanguard of ferocious beasts, but the camp is stable and open, suitable for large-scale combat... Although it also involves huge risks, it is undoubtedly much better than letting the soldiers hide in the city and be unable to move, or being smashed through the city walls and buried alive... This kind of decisive battle is undoubtedly much better.
At least we can kill more ferocious beasts and buy time for the entire wartime alliance!
Therefore, now, more than 10,000 soldiers have assembled at the camp outside the city. They can see the flags fluttering in the strong wind, and a murderous atmosphere naturally emanates from the forest of swords and spears... Although their main force has been transferred away, and the remaining people are mostly second-rate troops, they still look quite reliable at this desperate moment!
The reason is simple, because the main members of this remaining army are all local elites who were born and raised in Qingzhe City, and many of them have only recently joined the resistance team spontaneously... They may not be strong, but facing powerful enemies who intend to harm their fathers, wives, children and daughters, they are not afraid at all, and even show a momentum of seeing death as the way home!
That’s right, this is a life-and-death defense battle. Even the old city lords who are over 60 years old and have low cultivation have personally put on armor to resist the beast tide... There are also some "wild" practitioners with strange clothing and a hint of wildness who have joined the army.
They have a poor inheritance and weak cultivation, but in this moment of danger, they still gather together spontaneously, wanting to contribute to this battle.
Everyone in the field tightly grasped their weapons and stared at the front with burning eyes...
Suddenly!
Those with good eyesight saw a black spot on the horizon that gradually grew larger and closer...
"It's a flying beast! Archers, get ready!"
Immediately, a loud shout like a bell rang out, and then, hundreds of archers in the field quickly prepared for battle, gathering all their strength, staring at the black spots in the sky, waiting for them to get closer, and then they would launch a wave of concentrated shooting... However, when the black spots slowly approached and revealed their true appearance, everyone in the field took a breath of cold air...
It was dense and overwhelming... It was like a thick dark cloud that even the morning light could not penetrate. It not only cast a huge shadow on the ground, but also brought this shadow to everyone in the field...
"A second-level vicious beast, a flying locust bloodworm?"
"This number... How is it possible!"
As we all know, it is true that there are flying species among the ferocious beasts, but they are simply incomparable to the organized "air force" formed by Chu Tianxiao's three thousand defeated armors.
Firstly, they are of low rank and weak defense, so they are easily destroyed in large numbers. Secondly, they are not human after all, their intelligence is not developed, and their habits are mostly easy to predict, so as long as the right medicine is used, they can be easily defeated... In this regard, the strong men of the human race have enough experience to deal with it, and they also have a few simple "anti-aircraft" methods...
but…
When their number reaches the current level, then those theoretically effective methods will no longer work...
Quantitative change will naturally lead to qualitative change.
"How is it possible... this beast tide... what on earth is going on with this beast tide!"
Before the people in the field could finish being surprised, or rather, before they had any chance to catch their breath, a terrifying roar suddenly came from afar.
"roar!"
One after another, violent roars came with overwhelming force, and countless ferocious beasts were seen galloping, like a black line on the horizon, approaching and crushing. Just looking at it gave people an irresistible feeling of despair...
"... This scale... Haha, this time, even the wartime alliance can't be saved, right?"
After finally witnessing the power of this "catastrophe", everyone suddenly had an epiphany, but along with it came a deeper awareness.
“Let’s fight!”
"Killing one is a loss, killing two is a profit!"
"Well said, son of a bitch, who is afraid of who?"
Everyone roared, and then rushed out of the camp like a tide!
The strategies that were formulated beforehand... such as luring the enemy deep into our territory, providing layers of cover, blunting the enemy's attack, and fighting and retreating... have all lost their meaning in the face of the overwhelming black tide that is sweeping over us now.
All they can do is fight desperately until they bleed to death!
As for running away? At this point, turning around is no different from committing suicide!
“Kill!”
A hysterical shouting and screaming rang out, and it seemed that this tragic massacre was about to begin...
But just at this moment!
A sudden change occurred!
The huge army of ferocious beasts on land suddenly stopped, and the densely packed flying beasts in the sky also stopped in the blink of an eye.
There was a lot of noise in heaven and on earth.
If there were anyone who was proficient in animal language, or could hear the language of the fourth-level beast sitting in the back, they would immediately understand that they... were surprised.
"roar!-"
“Hiss!—”
Accompanied by noisy roars, the herd of ferocious beasts suddenly dispersed. Dense swarms of strange birds appeared in the sky, making heart-shaking strange cries. There were also many tiger-shaped beasts on the land howling together, which completely frightened the people who were attacking.
It was not that they lost their courage, but they could not stop trembling all over and could not charge forward.
Until this moment, everyone including the old mayor of Qingzhe City realized how huge the "gap" was between them and this group of beasts... Just when they were filled with resentment and were ready to close their eyes and wait for death, they heard unusual movements in front of them - when they opened their eyes, they saw that the army of ferocious beasts not only did not take advantage of the crowd's trembling to rush over, but turned around and left!
The rear team became the front team, and all the ferocious beasts retreated like the receding tide!
Only then did everyone understand—their roars and intimidation just now were not meant to kill people, but only to intimidate and prevent everyone from chasing them
