Lily stood at the window, which was open inward, pinning the yellowish curtains behind the window frame so that the sunlight could slant onto the letter in her hand. The letter was from Port Mousse, and Graves helped forward it from York City and delivered it to the city of Zipewa as agreed in the previous correspondence.

The streets outside the window were crowded with people, and it seemed that they were in a hurry than in the previous days, and some transcendents could not stop the rental carriages, so they simply ran on the road, such a dangerous move, and no city guards came out to cheer.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Lily hurriedly folded the letter in her hand and put it in her bag, and someone pushed the door into the house, but it was Jacques.

"Lily, Marianne invited us to the reception room, there is something to do. ”

"Okay, dear. ”

......

The nine people came to the reception room in unison, and Marianne saw that everyone had arrived, so she slowly spoke: "Hey, we are really not going well, how can we meet the beast tide......"

"Beast tide!"

"It's really fake!"

"We're going to get rich!"

"No, no, we have to get out of ......."

Everyone's expressions were different, and Marianne had no choice but to continue: "I can't go, the docks have been blocked, and tomorrow we will be called up to garrison the city walls in turn." ”

"Why!" Fran quit first, there were still four days to go, how could he encounter the blockade of the docks and forced conscription.

Marianne immediately said, "Why? It's not you yet...... It's not the rule of the empire, in order to prevent everyone from trying to escape the tide of beasts, which will affect both combat power and morale, so it was probably more than forty years ago that Zipewa began to implement this rule, and we need to register when we enter the city, just to recruit transcendents to guard the city walls if necessary. ”

"And our ship...... Will you be able to leave on time?" said Fran, a little depressed.

"Mr. Fran is still not familiar with the beast tide of Qipewa, the beast tide has always lasted for at least half a month, and the longest record of the beast besieging Qipewa for a month. Marianne patiently explained to him.

Natasha asked another question, "I've heard that the hunt during the beast tide will be our own, and if we're lucky, we can make a windfall......

Marianne said helplessly: "You have seen it from the textbooks of the Source Energy Academy, the textbooks of the empire should have been revised a long time ago, they have not kept up with the changes of the times, and there are many mistakes and omissions. Do you know why everyone is required not to leave, and to participate in the defense of the city? ”

"Why!"

Jacques, who was still counting on some money in the beast tide, cried out in disappointment.

"Why, how do I know the rules set by the first emperor, but everyone will not suffer too much, the transcendents of each defensive section can equally share half of the income of the section, the legion will take thirty percent, and the other two percent will go to the city of Qipewa. It is valued by the city hall, and the silver coins are issued directly after the unified purchase. "Marianne is helpless.

Jacques asked, "What's going on with that defensive section?"

Marianne also said that she did not know, but he called the manager of the Zipewa branch of the West Comptoir.

The branch manager was a mixed-race woman, in her thirties, with a strong body and good looks, and she was a plasticizer named Pera.

Although Pera had been working and living downstairs, she had never been to the fourth floor, and when there was no one from the Vester family living here, only the maid would come up and do the routine cleaning.

The legendary eldest lady Marianne who eloped a few days ago suddenly came to the branch, which really made her scramble. She learned about Yorktown through a regular cargo ship, so the news was faster than Marianne who traveled overland, but what she didn't expect was that Marianne actually came to her.

However, when Pella saw that there were eight other young people who came to the branch with Marianne, she immediately understood that they were not elopements at all, and that this elopement must be secretly caused by some people, and the family affairs of the main family, not to mention, but anyway, she is not qualified to participate in it, so it is better to stay away.

With this attitude, Pera has been avoiding this eldest lady these days, and even avoiding contact with the friends brought by Marianne, and the most troublesome thing is to help.

But this time Marianne asked her to explain the beast tide, and she had to go to the fourth floor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Pera Emmanuel, a native of Chipewa, and I heard from the eldest lady that you want to know about the situation of the beast tide, so I will tell you, and you can always ask any questions. ”

"Thank you, Miss Pera. ”

"It's been eight years since the last beast tide, and it's been the longest interval, and I was only eighteen years old at the time......"

Marianne asked suspiciously, "Hey, isn't the time right, aren't you ...... in 51?"

Pera said hurriedly, "Miss Marianne...... Lady's age......"

"Oh, I was wrong...... You continue to ......"

"At the time, I was still an Awakened and was in charge of controlling the Scorpion Cannon in our defensive section, but I still knew a lot about the situation in the entire defensive section.

The city wall is divided into a total of 85 defensive sections, a defensive section is a hundred meters on the city wall, and the transcendents who are responsible for a defensive section are generally hundreds of people, but it depends on how many transcendents are in the city during the beast tide, according to previous experience, there are about ten sculptors in a section, and a grandmaster is responsible for defending three or four sections.

Although the city wall of Zipewa is arc-shaped, the protrusion of the city gate is mainly defended by the legion of foreign beast attacks, and ordinary transcendents like us who have been recruited are generally defending the parts at both ends of the city wall, and the defensive pressure is not great......"

Jacques interrupted her to ask her own question, "Won't the beasts attack from the sea, and they won't bypass the walls?"

Pera explained: "It has to do with the composition of the beast tide, I forgot to mention that the main composition of the beast tide is all kinds of insects, they are afraid of water. The main species are legionnaires, monitor centipedes, spiders, beetles, ......"

Every time Pera said an insect, everyone felt goosebumps on their skin, and before they came to Zipewa, although everyone had heard of the legend of the beast tide, they did not expect that it was a large group of insects that caused the beast tide.

Claudia couldn't help but say, "Isn't it rare for insects to become advanced transcendent beasts?"

"Most of the insects are not alien beasts at all, how to say, they can be regarded as mutations, the commander of them is the alien beast, the level is not high, and most of them are just new to the level of the transcendent awakener. There are also higher-level alien beasts, and that's not our concern, they are the opponents of the grandmasters. ”

"What about the combat effectiveness of mutant insects?" Jacques cared about whether everyone could handle.

Pera picked up the tea in front of her, took a sip, and said: "It's a bit dangerous, if you're not careful, you can get hurt or even die, so you need to cooperate with each other." ”

It's dangerous......
