Section 184: Strange beasts besiege the city

Wen Hao's body flashed, he came to the Sword Emperor's first rank, threw out a few medicine bottles to him, and said in a deep voice: "Take it and bandage their wounds, and tell me what happened, why so many villages were destroyed by those beasts, but I didn't see a single rescue warrior?"

You must know that each city close to the Ten Thousand Beast Forest has a large number of armies and warriors, as long as there is a beast tide, the city lords of these cities will send troops to rescue, but along the way, in addition to seeing the destroyed villages, there are only scattered strange beasts, and there is not a single army or warrior at all.

The Sword Emperor opened and glanced at the medicine bottle that Wen Hao threw at him, and immediately a different color flashed in his eyes, although he was only a Sword Emperor, his eyesight was still good, these wound medicines were all grandmaster-level wound medicines, which he didn't dare to think about before.

At the same time, he was also guessing Wen Hao's identity, as soon as he made a move, there were a large number of grandmaster-level injury medicines, even the children of those big forces did not dare to be so generous, you must know that if these bottles of pills were sold, it would be enough for their mercenary group to earn for twenty years.

Although the Sword Emperor was very jealous of these pills and wanted to keep them, he thought of the injured brothers, especially the few brothers who were seriously injured, who were originally hopeless, but with these bottles of pills, their lives would definitely be saved.

These are all brothers who were born and died with them!

After a little hesitation, the Sword Emperor handed over a few jade bottles to one of his sword kings, and then took out a few bottles of ordinary wound medicine from his phantom ring and gave them to the Sword King and whispered a few words to him.

And Wen Hao heard these words very clearly, the Sword Emperor told the Sword King the level of the injury medicine given by Wen Hao, and asked the Sword King to use the injury medicine to treat several of the most seriously injured mercenaries, and the other injuries were lighter, just use ordinary injury medicine, as for the remaining grandmaster-level injury medicine, leave it for later.

Wen Hao did not object to the Sword Emperor's approach, and he also agreed with the Sword Emperor's approach, although the Grandmaster-level elixir was nothing to him, it was very precious to these mercenaries, and it could be said that he couldn't afford it at all, but the effect of the Grandmaster-level elixir was very good, and many seriously injured people who were dying could also save it.

If you only use these grandmaster-level elixirs to treat some minor injuries, it is not only a luxury for these mercenaries, but also a waste, if they are kept, maybe they can save a few lives in the future.

After arranging everything, the Sword Emperor saluted respectfully to Wen Hao and said, "I am Xu Maohua, the leader of the Brave Mercenary Group, first of all, I thank my predecessors on behalf of the entire Brave Mercenary Group." ”

Wen Hao nodded and said, "Tell me what's going on here?"

"Yes, Senpai. Xu Maohua saluted Wen Hao again, and then spoke: "Three days ago, for some reason, the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest let out earth-shattering beast roars one after another, causing the low-level strange beasts on the periphery of the forest to be frightened, and they ran out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest one after another, causing the largest tide beast in the past hundred years. ”

"Every beast tide is composed of some strange beasts below level five, and this time is no exception, but after only one day, I don't know what happened, many high-level strange beasts poured out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, including many eighth-level strange beasts, as soon as these high-level strange beasts rushed out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, they controlled those low-level strange beasts, leading them to attack human cities and villages. ”

"Those beasts came too suddenly, the cities were not prepared, they were taken by surprise, and now they are even surrounded to death, and many places are almost unable to defend, so naturally they can no longer send people to rescue those small villages. ”

Hearing this, Wen Hao and Hua Ling's brows couldn't help but jump wildly, judging from the current situation, the reason for this beast tide was obviously because of the two of them.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the uneasiness and self-blame in each other's eyes, so many people lost their lives because of their own mistakes, whether it was Wen Hao or Hua Ling, they didn't want to see it in their hearts.

But now is not the time to blame himself, Wen Hao settled down, and continued to ask Xu Maohua: "Since the high-level strange beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest have all escaped, what about the powerhouses of the major forces, why don't they come to the rescue?"

"I don't know. Xu Maohua shook his head and said: "However, some forces close to each other have sent people to help the cities, and several major guilds have also issued announcements, calling on all martial artists in the world to resist this beast tide together, and the mercenary guild has even issued a high reward, and we have taken the task." ”

Wen Hao asked again, "Which city is closest to this?"

"Thirty miles from here is Black Wind City, but it is being besieged by countless strange beasts, and we are going to go there, but we didn't expect to be surrounded by this group of beasts on the way. Xu Maohua's voice was a little low, many of his mercenaries died in this battle, although everyone was ready to die from the moment they chose to be mercenaries, but when they really saw that the brother who was still talking and laughing with them just now became a cold corpse, they still couldn't accept it in their hearts.

Nodding, he glanced at the mercenaries who were bandaging their injuries, and Wen Hao said softly: "Your injuries are not light, find a place to rest first." ”

After speaking, Wen Hao no longer cared about the mercenaries, his body jumped and flew away, and Hua Ling, Wu Yong and others also shook their bodies and followed closely.

Looking at the distant figures of Wen Hao and the others, Xu Maohua lost his mind for a moment, and at this time, the sword king who was bandaging everyone's wounds with wound medicine came over, glanced at the direction of Wen Hao and their departure, and asked: "Commander, who are those people, their strength is so strong, just the breath that was unintentionally released made me suffocate for a while." ”

"I don't know. Xu Maohua shook his head and said, "We met a noble person today, otherwise none of us would want to leave here alive." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the beast corpses all over the ground, and said to the Sword King: "Let the brothers who can still move clean up here, and cut off the ears of those beasts and take them back to hand in the task, in addition, their Yuan Jing and fur are also worth a lot of money, and when they are exchanged for money, they will be used as a pension for the brothers who died today." ”

"Yes. The Sword King's voice was a little hoarse in reply, and he turned around and packed up with a few mercenaries who were slightly injured.

Black Wind City is a small city in the Ming Emperor Kingdom, with a permanent population of less than 200,000, but because it is close to the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, there will be countless beast tides every year, so there is a full 50,000 army here, and there is also a city guard composed of five hundred sword masters and above, and although this city is small, the Hong family where its city lord Hong Youlin is located has five sword emperor masters, such strength, usually those beast tides do not bring them a little pressure.

But this time it was completely different, there were thirty or forty thousand low-level strange beasts around the city, of which there were three or four thousand above the fourth level alone, in addition, there were more than one hundred sixth-level strange beasts, ten seventh-level strange beasts, and one eighth-level strange beast.

Although after receiving Hong Youlin's request for help, Wang Zhigang immediately sent ten Sword Emperors and five Sword Emperors to support, but he was still under great pressure in the face of those strange beasts.

What's even worse is that in the battle two days ago, the eighth-level strange beast suddenly made a move, injuring two Sword Emperor masters sent by the royal family, and now there are only three Sword Emperors left, and they can't resist the eighth-level strange beast at all.

Thinking of this, standing on the city wall and looking at the strange beasts that rushed towards the city wall, Hong Youlin's back felt cold, once defeated, none of the hundreds of thousands of people in this Black Wind City would be spared, including all his relatives and friends.

"Guard, you must hold it, the royal family will soon send another master to support. Hong Youlin clenched his fists, he believed that the royal family would not ignore him, just because his Hong family had never had ambitions, even if it was chaotic some time ago, his Hong family was also guarding Black Wind City, until the Wang family became a royal family, he was the first to express his allegiance, like a family like them, he believed that no royal family was willing to lose it like this.

"Roar ......" With an earth-shattering roar resounding behind those strange beasts, the strange beasts that were originally just slowly approaching the city wall raised their heads and roared, and then rushed towards the city wall desperately.

"City Lord, those brutes are here. A large man in armor with a fresh claw mark on his face walked up to Hong Youlin's side, his eyes red, and said in a deep voice.

"Prepare the crossbow, and when those beasts are twenty meters close to the wall, shoot me hard. Hong Youlin's voice was like thunder, generous and powerful, and he ordered loudly: "The Sword Emperor master is ready to intercept high-level strange beasts at any time, and he must not let them rush up." "As for those Sword Emperor masters, that's not something he, a high-ranking city lord who is only a Sword Emperor, can order.

"Crunch, crunch......"

As Hong Youlin's voice fell, countless machine springs sounded, and all the soldiers aimed their crossbows at the outside of the city with a solemn face, just waiting for those strange beasts to rush into the range, and then give them a head-on blow.

"Prepare ......"

"Shoot me. ”

With the officer's order, all the sergeants did not hesitate to pull the crossbow in their hands, and suddenly the countless sharp sound of breaking the air shook the sky, and the dense crossbow arrows flew away like rain to the black pressure outside the city.

"Flutter, flutter......"

"Roar, roar, roar, ......"

With the sound of a broken body, the countless strange beasts that rushed to the front were shot through their bodies by the flying crossbow arrows, some of them were lucky enough to let out a dying wail before they died, and more were shot into hedgehogs in an instant, and they didn't even have time to make a sound until they died.

The death of the strange beast in front of the "roar roar ......" did not frighten the strange beast behind, and even because of the pungent smell of blood, the strange beast behind became even more violent, rushing forward one after another, even if the front had been piled up with a wall of the corpses of their companions, they still rushed forward without fear of death.

In just a few moments, the strange beasts that rushed to the front were under the city wall, and some of them actually braved the rain of arrows above their heads and climbed up the city wall with only their sharp claws.
