Chapter Two Hundred and Seven. Nightmare returns!!
However, these guards obviously did not have an answer to this question. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
How could Chopin not think that he would encounter such a thorny problem when he had just become the city lord of "White Rock City".
The horror of the "Beast Tide" is naturally undoubted, in fact, among the few rare catastrophes in the "City of Chaos", the destructive power of the "Beast Tide" is also the most amazing.
Most of the ruined cities that were once buried in the wilderness were attacked by the ferocious attack of the "beast tide", and then they were broken through, and in such a terrible disaster, as long as a breakthrough was opened, the fate of those residents in the city was naturally self-evident, and they could only be reduced to a large number of fierce beasts to eat.
It is also for this reason that almost all the residents of the "City of Chaos" talk about the "Beast Tide" color change, it is really for so long, the horror of the "Beast Tide" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people are also used to the storm once every ten years...... The only thing that awaits them is destruction.
However, under the law that all residents, even those in power of the major forces, have become accustomed to the law that the "beast tide" breaks out once every ten years, the "beast tide" that suddenly broke out four years ahead of schedule will undoubtedly give all the forces an unexpected "surprise".
Because of the law that the "beast tide" breaks out once every ten years, generally speaking, around the eighth or ninth year, the residents of the city will begin to stock up on food, and at this time, the leaders of the major forces will also begin to actively prepare for the upcoming outbreak of the "beast tide".
And now, for some unknown reason, the outbreak time of the "Beast Tide" is four years ahead of schedule, which is undoubtedly a critical blow to all the forces in the "City of Chaos".
Almost every time the "Beast Tide" breaks out, the hundreds of cities or strongholds standing on the "Chaos Capital" will have some of them because they can't withstand the huge pressure brought by the "Beast Tide", and then they are swallowed by the endless beasts.
Even if they are lucky enough to survive this wave of offensive, most of the forces will be severely damaged, and it will take years to recuperate, and then repeat the cycle.
Although until now, Chopin has never seen whether the so-called "beast tide" is really so terrifying,
However, he also had to pay attention to the fact that he could make so many forces talk about it in the "City of Chaos".
"Are you sure the "beast tide" has really broken out? ”
The "Beast Tide" broke out once in ten years, almost a law that iron could not understand, and now that such a change suddenly appeared, it was not up to Chopin to confirm it cautiously again.
"Your Majesty, such news is not just coming from the mouths of one or two "scavengers" or hunters, at least hundreds, and these guys have recently returned from the wilderness, judging by the look of fear they show, it is unlikely that it is false news or someone deliberately made trouble, but it is true or false, according to these "scavengers" and hunters, I am afraid that today we will know. ”
"So fast?"
Chopin was silent for a while, then rubbed his head and said with a headache.
"Pass the order, now the whole city is under martial law immediately, no one is allowed to enter and leave without permission, remember, try not to cause panic, and in addition, let the captains of the guards of the city come and see me."
Chopin tapped on the table and began to command methodically.
**********
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the wind and sand in the wilderness were the most violent, and under the sweep of the strong wind, the wind and sand roared and fell like raindrops, and then floated again, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on,
At this time, whether it is a "scavenger", a hunter, or a manic beast roaming the wilderness, it will lie dormant at this time.
Today, however, is completely different from the usual.
Through the refraction effect of the telescope in his hand, Chopin, standing on the city wall, could clearly see that on the horizon far away in the wilderness, a black line rolled like a wave.
With just a cursory glance, Chopin could determine that there were no less than thousands of fierce beasts rushing towards the "White Rock City".
According to the previous investigation, this is only a quarter of the total number of "beast tides" that suddenly attacked, and as for the rest of the "beasts", they are heading towards the other three cities adjacent to "White Rock City".
I don't know if it's the perception of the beasts or some other unknown reason, almost every time the "beast tide" erupts, these beasts will launch a surging attack on the settlements of various races, as if something in the dark is guiding them to these places.
Seeing such a shocking scene for the first time, it is not difficult for Chopin to understand why every time the "beast tide" breaks out, there are some large strongholds or cities that stand on the "chaotic capital" and are simply unable to stop the attack of these fierce beasts.
In such a scene, ordinary people are afraid that just by looking at it, they will no longer have any courage to resist.
But...... That was only for the major forces in the "chaotic capital", in the eyes of Chopin, who had the golden finger of the whole battle, the scene in front of him was far from despairing.
It's just that compared to Chopin's calmness, Comey and Fordmont on the side are far from being so natural, although they have become one of the best figures in the city guards at this time, but six years ago when they were just ordinary city guards, they still remember the "beast tide" with countless casualties.
In the bloody battle that lasted for several days when the "Beast Tide" broke out, countless partners, both familiar and unfamiliar, finally fell in the pool of scarlet blood.
One soldier after another, armed with guns, or swords, or swords, or bows, all did their best to stop the beasts from attacking the city, and then the two sides collided with the exhilarating roar and the terrifying roar of the beasts.
Those few days seemed like years to all the guards who had experienced that battle, and even after the battle, it was like a nightmare, haunted in everyone's hearts for a long time. How many times have I dreamed back at midnight, and the bloody and cruel image still ripples in my mind.
In the original assumptions of several people, there were still years of leisure time before the next nightmare turned into reality, but what no one expected was that the nightmare would strike again so soon.
Only this time, it is unknown whether they will be able to survive like last time.
