Chapter 13: The Terrible Tide of Beasts

Sheehan ordered two physician apprentices to stay, while the rest could not remain in the palace, including the families of the wounded.

Seeing this, Yi Xingchen didn't say anything, only took out the disinfectant potion he had just bought, medicinal cotton and wound medicine, and personally instructed the two physician apprentices how to deal with the wounds.

After some treatment, Blue Mercury's medicine quickly took effect. The bleeding of the three wounded stopped, and after bandaging, the wounds were considered to have been treated. However, although Yi Xingchen is not a medical professional, he also knows that the dangerous period of these injured people has not completely passed, and only when the wounds are not infected or inflamed can their lives really be saved.

Yi Xingchen then taught two physician apprentices, telling them to change the anti-inflammatory drugs for the injured once a day, take the wound medicine, and asked Sheen to find someone to clean up a few clean and refreshing rooms for the injured so that they could recuperate and rest.

After placing the wounded, Yi Xingchen asked Sheen to summon the captain of the hunting team, and he wanted to know what happened to them when they returned injured.

The captain of the hunting party, who had been on standby outside the palace gates, came in as soon as he heard the order.

"Alan, citizen of the kingdom, meet His Majesty the King. Allen touched his chest with his right hand and bowed to Yi Xingchen.

"Did you encounter any danger when you went out hunting?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Yes, when we were hunting an adult one-horned rhinoceros, we didn't expect more than thirty wolves to suddenly appear around, and we didn't notice it for a while, and we were attacked by the wolves. Alan said bitterly. Thinking of the scene at that time, Allen's face was still visibly afraid.

Hearing this, Yi Xingchen's face sank, thinking about it, the environment in this Forgotten Valley was far worse than he could have imagined. In addition to the extreme climatic conditions, the people here suffer from the threat of various beasts.

"Alan, I want to know, what equipment do you use. Yi Xingchen thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, please, wait. Alan said a word and walked out of the Rock Hall. When he returned, he was armed with a long, pointed stick and a shield made of logs.

"These are your weapons?" Yi Xingchen was shocked in his heart, such weapons and equipment, let alone being able to resist ferocious beasts, even if they were generally small in size and not very strong in attack power, I am afraid it would not be easy to deal with.

As a person from a modern civilization, Yi Xingchen could not accept that the defense power here had only reached the level of a primitive civilization, and immediately asked suspiciously, "Don't you have an iron sword?"

Without Allen answering, Sheen replied, "After the defeat of our kingdom, all weapons have been confiscated. If a group of refugees had weapons, we would not have been able to leave the border alive. ”

The sourness in Xi'en's words made even Yi Xingchen feel it and felt very sad.

"Tell me about the arming in the walled city. Yi Xingchen thought of the situation in the walled city, so he asked Alan to report on the defense in the wall.

"There were three hunting squads in the walled city, each with twenty people, for a total of sixty people. In normal times, we send two teams out of the city at a time, one team hunts farther away, the other team hunts closer and the other team is responsible for defending the walled walls. Each squad takes turns with each other on a regular basis. Alan replied.

"Every time you hunt, is it very dangerous?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Yes. The Valley of Oblivion is surrounded by beasts. As long as the hunting team leaves the walled city, they may be attacked by fierce beasts at any time. Thankfully, however, we were able to work together and manage casualties if there were no accidents. Alan replied.

Yi Xingchen thought for a while and said, "Every citizen's life is very important. I hope you don't go out hunting in the future. At the very least, you can't go out hunting again without better, higher-end defensive and offensive weapons. In the next period of time, Sheehan will fully cooperate with Lucas Brewing, and if necessary, add enough people to assist. I will sell the sake in another world, so that it will be enough to exchange for the food that everyone needs. So you don't have to risk your life to hunt for food. ”

Yi Xing looked at Sheehan and reminded again: "You are my deacon, make a purchase list for me as soon as possible, and I am responsible for going to the outside world to buy the necessities of the walled city." ”

Sheehan said, "Yes, I'll do it right away." ”

"Your Majesty, I have one more important situation to report. Alan looked at Yi Xingchen and Sheehan, and interjected.

"What's the situation?" Yi Xingchen looked at Alan and asked.

"Lately, on the outskirts of the Valley of Oblivion, more and more beasts have gathered. Alan said with a grim expression.

Yi Xingchen didn't quite understand what was implicit in Allen's words. But Sheen on the side was the opposite, his face suddenly changed, his face was a little distorted, and even frightened, as if he heard that the end of the world was coming.

"Do you think it's going to be a beast tide?" Sheen asked, looking at Allen. Alan didn't speak, but nodded firmly at Sheen.

Yi Xingchen saw the seriousness of the matter from the solemn looks of the two, and hurriedly asked, "What is the beast tide?"

"One of the important reasons why there has been no human settlement in the Valley of Oblivion is that there are one or two animal tides here every year.

Whenever the beast tide occurs, countless fierce beasts of all kinds, I don't know if they are stimulated by something, become very manic, like a flood that bursts its banks, surging through the territory. What's even more terrifying is that they are always large beasts with extremely high attack power, and their number is so large that no matter how powerful the human army is, it cannot withstand such an impact. Therefore, every time the beast tide passes, almost all human beings are reduced to ashes. Sheehan explained slowly and in detail, only the fear on his face betrayed his unpeaceful heart.

"Didn't we build a protective wall?" Yi Xingchen asked puzzled.

"Our walls are made of wood, and they simply can't withstand the tide of beasts. Unless it's a rock-solid wall, it's impossible to hold back the frenzied onslaught of thousands of beasts. However, the cost of the rock walls is too high, and the climate conditions here are extremely poor, so no human nation is willing to waste a lot of money to build and settle here. It is only when we, the people of the lost country, have no way to retreat, will we choose the Valley of Oblivion as a settlement. Sheehan's heart was full of sorrow.

"You've been here for a few years, you should have experienced the beast tide, right?

Sheehan and Alan looked at each other, even more helpless and sad.
