The weather in the city is still very cold at the beginning of February.

The night wind was bitter because the snow had not melted, and although there was no moonlight, it was not dark.

The walls were full of heavily armed city defenders.

The atmosphere was solemn and oppressive.

The castle is surrounded by plains, and the surrounding mountains can be faintly seen in the hazy night.

I don't know how I learned the news of the beast tide, which made the city like a great enemy, and the army and civilians were ready to fight.

The city lord Fan and the tooth general Zhao puppet personally put on the battle.

"My lord, is the news reliable?"

Zhao Puppet looked out of the city, but found no trace of demons, it was quiet as far as his eyes and ears could see, and he couldn't even see a wild dog.

"I'm not sure about this, this woodcutter saw countless demon beasts gathered when he was collecting firewood, so he rushed to report, I didn't believe it, I sent a few groups of people to investigate, there are a large number of demon beasts and monsters gathered in the mountains on all sides, according to the city records, this phenomenon is the precursor of the beast tide, more than five million people in the city, and I don't dare to be careless as the city lord. ”

Xiaofan sent a telegram to the county guard, alerted the surrounding towns, and urgently set up defenses.

Because of this, the lords of the four countries were snubbed.

In the middle of the night, there was no trace of demons, which made people even more nervous and afraid.

Zhao Puppet is a good general in a hundred battles, a master of Xuanshi, can sit in the guard of the city, responsible for the safety of millions of people, his ability is still very strong, Siye is silent, with his experience, he knows that the enemy is coming.

Zhao Puppet went from questioning at the beginning to basically certain, but now his sense of fear has exploded.

The tide of large beasts is not like bandits attacking the city, the struggle between people may be able to excite you, the fight between people and demons brings absolute fear, which is innate, the shadow buried in the bottom of people's hearts, because in this wasteland, human dominance here is the most recent thing, before human beings were the weak here, here is the world where demons are rampant.

Every time the beast tide is extremely cruel and terrifying, even if the demons are finally dispersed, the human race will suffer heavy losses.

"Roaring ......"

It's coming, it's coming.

People nervously grabbed their weapons.

After a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, there was a roar in the originally silent wilderness, like thousands of war horses galloping, and the stench of slaughter only came to the face.

"Alas, after seeing this beast tide, it is definitely not small, and I don't know if those small towns can hold on. ”

The city lord can only pray to the heavens to bless the people of those small towns.

Demons are coming, and the clouds of war are looming over the city.

The huge city is brightly lit and people are busy.

The government officials maintain law and order, and the important government places are guarded by soldiers, and those big families, wealthy businessmen, and private soldiers are nervously guarded except for some of them who are conscripted to help defend the city.

This is normal, when the catastrophe comes, there are still many people who take advantage of the fire to rob.

In front of the post house, the city lord symbolically sent a team of soldiers to guard it.

In Zhang Xian's room, the other three lords of the country also gathered here.

"According to General Yue's report, the scale of the beast tide tonight is not small, although it will not break the city with one blow, but if the beast tide is blessed in the future, or the time is too long, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend the city without foreign aid.

As for the situation of the beast tide, the key problem is that this time the beast tide came too strangely, and the beast tide came immediately when we entered the city with our front feet.

When I think of the small-scale beast tide in Yinmagou, I think there is an invisible hand pushing these events to happen, and it is likely that it is coming at us.

It is said that in the past, there were princes and kings who died due to the tide of beasts. ”

Zhang Xian's words made the three princes and kings fall into deep thought.

"So how do we deal with it?"

After a long time of communication, Xu Fan, Zhao Wen and Xiao Jing looked at Zhang Xian and handed over the leadership to him.

"I feel that in this chaotic moment, we must not be soft in this chaotic time by taking a wait-and-see stance, then sending people to collect information, and strictly ordering our people not to relax and be on strict alert, and to kill strangers who will not be forgiven. ”

It's not that Zhang Xian waits and sees the beast tide and doesn't make a move, he is in a different place, and the first thing is to ensure his own safety under unknown circumstances, in addition, they are guests, even if they help resist the beast tide, then the landlord has to come forward to request, otherwise you rashly take people to go, it will cause misunderstanding among others, which is not in accordance with the rules.

In particular, the Xia Kingdom, the Zongye Kingdom, and the Wuwei Kingdom formed a coalition army a few years ago, and killed the Qin army in the south, suffering heavy losses, and were obviously enemies.

If it weren't for the alliance, how could the lords of these three countries dare to enter the territory of Qin, and if they were not surrounded and killed by the Qin army, they would also be smashed by the people of Qin.

Therefore, without the request of the city lord of Xuer City, they cannot take the initiative to participate in the war.

In addition, Zhang Xian suspected that it was designed by Emperor Qin, and took advantage of the beast tide to murder them.

Of the four countries on this trip, only the Southern Barbarian State did not directly participate in the resistance against Qin, but the Southern Barbarian State was not a friendly country of Qin.

The geographical location of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom is special, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter, and it is also difficult for them to expand.

Zhao Wen's trip was particularly low-key, because he had just won the throne, and he had to be canonized by Emperor Qin in order to be regarded as the real lord of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

The Southern Barbarian State is poor and has to rely on the strong country, because he was supported by Zhang Xian, so this trip has to take advantage of the momentum of the Xia State.

At this time, the battle has begun, and the city has been attacked by monsters and monsters on all sides, and the monsters are okay to say, they can see the fight, but the monsters and evil spirits are the most uncomfortable.

In the one-night battle, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The demon spirit of the queen of heaven retreated first, and the demon beast also weakened its attack, and then stopped.

"My lord, look at the black and oppressive demon beasts outside the city, I'm afraid that this beast tide will not end in a short time, if there is no foreign aid, it may be difficult for us to repel the demons this time?"

Zhao Puppet said worriedly to the city lord.

"Have you counted the damage?"

Xiao Fan did not respond to Zhao Puppet's words, but was concerned about how much he had lost.

"It hasn't been reported yet, but seeing that we have lost more than 3,000 people here, it is conservatively estimated that the loss is not less than 10,000. ”

"Alas. ”

Xiao Fan sighed, the city is tall and strong, but there is such a big loss after half a night, if the beast tide lasts for ten days, then he is afraid that it will be difficult to defend the city, not to mention, the army will also be lost.

"I'm afraid that there will be no foreign aid, the county guard has already sent a message, this time the beast tide has affected the entire county, and all parts of the country are too busy to take care of themselves, so we can still take care of it here. ”

Zhao Puppet's heart was cold when he heard this.

"There is no foreign aid, but we have domestic aid, the main path of the four southern countries is here, and they are now trapped in the city, at the critical moment, I go to ask for help, they should be able to help. ”

Xiao Fan really got the idea of the envoys of the four countries.

And after dawn, Luo Song appeared.

After entering the territory of Qin, he left the convoy and did not come to see Zhang Xian until Uncle Tai managed to contact the Red Evil.

"Your Majesty, according to the Red Evil Intelligence, this beast tide was caused by a strange person, but we haven't found out the identity of this person yet, and we haven't even seen this strange person......"
