Chapter 72: Beast Tide: Suspicion

A row of grain warehouses for wheat, corn, and flour...... All kinds of warehouses, Yu Yi took the soldiers into the side, and each room was filled with the same catastrophic picture. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 But they don't have time to remove the stains from the screen one by one, and they will withdraw as soon as they have made sure that there is no locust king.

"Still not! Damn it! ā€

He couldn't help but curse, and the thought that these damn grasshoppers were eating the rations of his own troops suddenly disappeared from his natural fear of the existence of such a bug, leaving only a stomach full of anger. Looking up, Hi'on over there was a warehouse guard asking for something.

"What's wrong, Sylon?"

Instead of answering, Shiron ordered the guard, "Lead the way!" Only then did he turn back to the deed owner and say, "It's been a waste of too much time to lead the troops to keep up." ā€

didn't have time to ask about the situation, so Yu Yi summoned the soldiers according to the other party's wishes. Follow the guard towards the warehouse in the rear. "Where are we going?"

"A warehouse for bacon."

In the back row was the warehouse where meat was stored, and when Yu Yi and the others arrived, there were already other teams searching for it. It seems that they are not the only ones who have thought of this possibility, but no one has yet found the Locust King.

"Locusts still eat meat?" Although Yu Yi was already running towards the remaining meat storage warehouses with his soldiers, he couldn't help but ask.

"There's nothing that the famine locusts don't eat," said Sylon halfway through his words, when a half-human-sized locust was knocked out of the warehouse next to it, and its severed head was still cutting a piece of salted jerky with its mouthparts, "and, moreover, the meat-eating locusts grow faster." ā€

As soon as the guards opened the door to the warehouse, everyone rushed in. It's still a mess inside, full of yellow-green, the only difference is that the famine locusts here are indeed relatively large. But soon Yu Yi discovered that the locusts in this warehouse were all just lying on the jerky and flapping their hind wings.

"See, Sylon, I'll just say that locusts don't eat meat."

"Don't be stupid, the Locust King is here!" As the deputy centurion, Si'on beckoned, and the soldiers rushed towards the interior of the warehouse with torches.

Compared with the deputy centurion standing in the rear, Yu Yi's centurion situation is not as comfortable as the former, whether it is last night's battle or now, in short, he will always take the lead in rushing to the front. And now, he's huddled in the worm pile.

These bugs with thin arms and legs certainly look a little disgusting, but he is more concerned about the next food and clothing problems than this. What's more, more than eighty soldiers under him behind him are watching, and as a centurion, he has to go forward with a hard head to say anything.

ā€˜-39’

A half-spin slash directly killed a large flying locust blocking the way, and then rushed forward, and Yu Yi saw the so-called Famine Flying Locust King. Although it is also a leader-level demonic beast, it is only level 5, and when it comes to combat power alone, it is naturally not to be feared.

The two-meter-long locust king was feasting on the salted meat, and at the rate at which it was eating, a bundle of thirty servings of jerky could only last for a minute at most. Suddenly, a sharp arrow feather broke in and pierced straight into the locust king's huge compound eye, 'Fatal damage, -61'

It was Syl'Ang's [Eagle Sniper], which actually caused fatal damage. Fatal Wound can not only cause huge damage, but more importantly, it seriously injures the Locust King, and the Locust King will have an additional [Critical Injury Level 1] status on his body. This makes the next battle much easier.

Seeing that the locust king was injured, the frequency of all the locusts in the warehouse shaking their hind wings suddenly increased, and they flew up, no longer the appearance of being slaughtered before.

But it doesn't matter, Yu Yi shouted loudly:

"Everyone! Gather fire with me on that big grasshopper! ā€

"Yes!" The soldiers of the First Flame said in unison, and then rushed towards the Locust King with the centurion in front of him, ignoring the flying locusts that had been bitten by him.

As the battle that followed the Beast Tide began, they began to love their centurion even more, for whenever they looked up, they seemed to see him in the front row. With such a leader, there is no reason for them to back down.

ā€˜-12’

ā€˜-13’

ā€˜-17’

……

A flurry of damage drifted through the locust king, and finally ended with another half-spin slash from Yi. 'Trigger Slash, -43'

As soon as the head of the Famine Flying Locust King hit the ground, the swarm of flying locusts that had just been attacking frantically suddenly stopped their attack and swerved in the air like a flying machine that had lost its pilot. They seem to be trying to escape the warehouse, but most of them end up crashing into the solid stone walls.

When the battle was over, everyone withdrew from the warehouse. Looking at the warehouse next to it, sure enough, there was no movement, it seems that the death of the locust king is indeed a fatal blow to the locust swarm.

The half-orc Heti came to Yu Yi with his potion box on his back: "My lord, are you okay, let me take care of your wounds." ā€

"No, let's deal with the wounded soldiers first. Uncle, didn't these dead grasshoppers just beat their boss? It's like crazy! Yu Yi scolded as he wiped away the blood spilling from the wound on the back of his hand.

Hearing the centurion's words, I don't know who it was among the soldiers, and a sentence came out: "Brother Cruise, if someone hits you, we will also go crazy and 'bite' him." ā€

"Hey, come on, anyone else dares to hit me?" said disdainfully, but Yu Yi still couldn't help but smile on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, a hand slammed into his shoulder.

"Shhh Who is it? He turned his head angrily, but when he saw the comer, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Captain Klose, what a coincidence, you are also here." Any commands? ā€

Klose was a veteran in his forties, and the slightly upturned end of his orange mustache under his nose gave him a somewhat serious look. Yu Yi didn't have much contact with him, at most, he was familiar with him during group training, after all, he basically spent time in the barracks with his own soldiers.

"Well done, Cruise."

After the captain said a simple word of appreciation, he turned around and went to assemble the team, the task was completed, and the camp was about to be restored.

But Yu Yi felt that the veteran's praise just now was like the blow on the shoulder just now, quick and thick.

"Looks like this captain likes you." Hilon stepped forward and said.

He smiled noncommittally: "Maybe, how about the food loss?" ā€

"I estimate that the remaining grain in all the warehouses here should be less than one-tenth of the original amount." Sir'on's face was a little ugly, and he shook his head and said.

At this time, Yu Yi saw a herald running to the side of the captain Klose and saying something, and then Klose opened his throat and ordered to gather.

A few minutes later, the six hundred-man team assembled. Captain Hu spoke again:

"Listen, everyone, the situation of the granary must not be disclosed to the outside world, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law."

"Yes!"

Although he didn't like this kind of self-deception, Yu Yi still agreed loudly along with the others. He knew very well that since there was such an order, it was obvious that the situation of the other three granaries should be the same as here.

He naturally understands that under such circumstances, it is indeed necessary to keep secrets, after all, food is a major matter, which affects the morale of the army and the people in the city. Just, does such secrecy really make sense? When the amount of food that has been delegated begins to decrease, all concealment will only look stupid and ridiculous.

"If the food problem is not solved, Wildfire City will soon be self-defeating. Unexpectedly, the first wave of beast tide began to make us scramble. On the way back to the camp, Hill, who was at the head of the troops, said with a somber face.

Yu Yi looked at both sides of the empty street, intentionally or unintentionally: "You say, how did these flying locusts come into the city?" ā€

"Naturally, they flew in, and not all demonic beasts walked in through the gate. After the beast tide, there will be more such troublesome monsters. Arrow Eagle said.

"Then you say, how can these flying locusts find the granary so accurately?" He asked again.

"What do you mean, Lance?" Sylon heard what the deed master was saying, and turned his head to ask.

"I don't think it's that simple. "As he spoke, Yu Yi took out a small yellow-green dagger.

If you don't look closely, you will mistake this dagger for a small locust, because the color and texture on both sides of it resemble the wings of a locust. The serrations on the back of the knife are also like the body thorns on the legs of a flying locust, and the handle of the knife is like the hind legs of a flying locust.

Siron glanced at the dagger and asked, "The dagger is good, where did it come from?" ā€

"This is the locust king god Grace touched, and there is also a kyanite, which I ingested."

After hearing the deed's answer, Syl's eyes widened. Divine grace? Angry Demon Beasts basically don't give out divine grace! "You're saying that these locusts didn't follow the beast tide?"

"Maybe someone is secretly playing tricks. But I don't understand, why is there only a few soldiers guarding such an important place as the granary? Yu Yi put away the dagger named "Shaving of the Locust Plague" and asked.

"According to the usual experience, the attention of the first wave of beast tides should naturally be concentrated outside the city, and of course the city will not be vigorously fortified." Sir Ang replied without thinking, but it was indeed a bit unreasonable to think about the appearance of the locust. The first wave of beast tide should be some very low-level monsters, locusts of this grade of monsters, no matter what, it should not appear until the second wave of beast tide.

Yu Yi stretched his waist and asked again, "Is there no other place in the city to store grain?" ā€

Xi'an shook his head and said, "There must be, these four granaries are only subordinate to the southeast urban area, and there must be other granaries in other urban areas." He paused, "It's just that you need to borrow it." ā€
