Chapter 54: Crisis, Beast Tide
Over the past few days, people have been missing inexplicably in the hunting city, and they have all changed beyond recognition after recovering their bodies. It was as if it had been pecked by a group of vultures that liked to eat dead bodies, which made people panic.
"Alliance leader! There's a large group of people outside asking for an explanation!"
Bai Qianjian raised his hand tiredly, he had been tossed to the point of madness in the past few days.
"The ancestors once said that the eagle is friendly to people, and as long as humans do not actively violate them, they will not hurt people. But now...... Judging from the general signs of those corpses, all of them pointed to the fact that the Dome Eagle did it...... "Even if Bai Qianjian finds out the person who spread the rumors, it will be useless, because the guy behind it has a very high status, and those people have not even revealed the slightest bit of useful information."
He barely suppressed the next chaos, but it wasn't long before the next chaos would erupt again, and it would be more violent.
"How many victims are there now?" Bai Qianjian's face was haggard, and it was hard to imagine that a powerful swordsman could be forced to such a point.
"There are hundreds of people this morning...... The families of the victims are desperate for you to give them an explanation in person!"
Bai Qianjian sighed and said weakly, "You go out first!"
"Yes......"
Bai Qianjian walked out and once again calmed the emotional ones, and he assured once again that he would give them a reasonable explanation in a very short time.
......
Hunting City, a large city inhabited by millions of people, is naturally very important for guards.
There are quite a few guard posts outside the city, and many people patrol every day.
And today......
As always, the soldiers of the garrison station patrolled. It was not yet time for the shift change, and some of the soldiers had become lazy. For some veterans who have been standing guard for more than a decade, this loneliness is not a big deal. But for some recruits, it is difficult for them to get used to this kind of half-day outside at once.
For the safety of the area around the hunting city, no tree species are allowed to be planted near the hunting city. So at a glance, what you see is a mountain looming in the distance, except for the endless yellow sand mounds.
"Alas, I knew that I would listen to my father and continue to study at the academy, why did I come here to suffer my own crimes!" a recruit sighed.
The veterans smiled and said, "This job is good enough to be free, and there hasn't been much war for more than ten years." ”
"Why?" asked the recruit on the side, puzzled.
The veteran said proudly: "Because of the efforts of our predecessors, those demonic beasts don't dare to offend our Hunting City! In the entire Holy Spirit Empire, except for the Imperial Capital, there are really few cities that can compare with the Hunting City!"
"Although the shift changes every half a day, the income is not bad, so I stand guard. Oh, by the way, what do we do if there is any war?" asked the recruit, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Before the veteran could reply, he saw that the sky on the other side of the distant mountain range suddenly darkened, and the darkness was overwhelming, as if a storm was coming. From time to time, there was a roar, like an earth-shattering thunderclap.
"It's raining, go back to the defense station to take shelter from the rain!" the veteran picked up a bow and arrow, and shot the signal arrow into the sky.
After the signal arrow rose high enough, it exploded in an instant, and it exploded like a colorful firework for a full dozen breaths.
Soon those members who were patrolling outside rushed back, and in the western Xinjiang, the storm was still outside, and their lives would be in danger......
"Captain, looking at the weather, it looks like there will be a tornado?" a recruit asked the veteran, who turned out to be the captain of the patrol.
The captain gave him a blank look and said, "Otherwise, what am I calling you back for?
The group stood on the second floor of the small post house and watched the "black clouds" gradually approaching.
"Captain, no, why is this thunder so strange?" asked a little white-faced recruit, puzzled.
The captain stood at the top, and he used his spiritual power to reach his eyes, and his vision became farther and clearer......
After a long time, his eyes suddenly widened, there were so many dome eagles! The whole sky was full of dome eagles, definitely more than 100,000, and the number was constantly increasing, maybe millions!
In a panic, he suddenly tripped and fell off the wooden ladder of the sentry tower, falling hard, making him dizzy.
But it didn't matter anymore, and the patrolmen all ran to him to hold him.
"Team...... Captain, are you alright?" the recruit noticed that his face was very ugly, even worse than swallowing a dead fly.
"Quick! Signal quickly! First level of alert, no, supreme alert!" said the captain, who suddenly trembled with fear.
Those patrolmen didn't know what was going on, but seeing the captain's appearance, coupled with the disturbing "black clouds", was very depressing for a while.
More than a dozen patrolmen fired the cupola cannons in their hands, and huge red flames reflected red for several miles.
It didn't take long for the city defense troops on the city walls to be mobilized, and the scouts were sent out to inquire for information as soon as possible.
After sending the signal, the patrol leader hurriedly issued an order to retreat.
The whole hunting city is in turmoil, there were internal worries, and now there are external troubles. Bai Qianjian was about to cry in his heart and call his mother, why did so many things happen to this hunting city in my hands?
He was about to use the sound transmission jade to ask about the situation on Bai Xiaoqiong's side, who knew that Bai Xiaoqiong had inspired the sound transmission jade first.
"Dad, it's not good, the big guy was suddenly restless just now, I can't calm it, it's running out now...... But Yahai is following it. ”
Bai Xiaoqiong was very anxious, her cultivation was not weak, she was already a sword master, but compared with a person like Mo Haiya who could single-handedly challenge a great sword master, she naturally couldn't catch up. If it weren't for the fact that the Eagle King's serious injuries hadn't healed yet, let alone Mo Haiya, even Bai Qiandao wouldn't be able to catch up with its speed.
"Don't worry about it for now, you stay there well, don't come out if it's not a big deal!" After Bai Qianjian arranged his daughter, he cut off the transmission.
The whole sky was a little darker, the whole hunting city could be heard everywhere, and the streets and alleys were full of soldiers maintaining order.
Bai Qianjian couldn't sit still any longer, he put on his helmet and armor, held the sword of white jade, and came to the city wall.
From afar, the sky in the distance turned black, like thousands of horses in unison, and the deafening sound spread throughout the sky. A steady stream of eagles flying from the other side of the mountain seems to be endless, making people feel irresistible.
"Anyone who throws away his armor and disturbs the hearts of our army will be dealt with in accordance with military law and executed on the spot!" Bai Qianjian saw many soldiers who had never seen a battle trembling there, and he was immediately furious.
He is not only the leader of the Hunting Alliance, but also the city lord of the Hunting City, and he usually invests a lot of money in the army, but he doesn't want to raise a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death in vain!
"Are you a bunch of cowards? Cheer me up before you fight! Think about the millions of people behind you, including your parents, brothers and sisters, or your wives and children! Take a step back is a human life or more, you'd better think clearly before making a decision!"
"I have a daughter, I have everything I have to protect, and I'm sure you have too...... Look at the sky on the front side, it's dark, but the candle in your heart will never be extinguished!" After everyone calmed down, Bai Qianjian said from the bottom of his heart.
"Never retreat, never give in! Defend the hunting city to the death!" I don't know who shouted, and immediately the others shouted, and the sound resounded through the sky, and even the deafening roar was driven out of the area.
"Very good, your family will be proud of you!" Bai Qianjian smiled rarely, he was too depressed these days, he needed an outburst too much, he needed a ...... too much Slaughter!
"The archers are ready to send 100,000 elite soldiers to defend the front wall. 30,000 on the left flank and 40,000 on the right flank, all with bows and arrows! Show your manhood and fight with the demeanor of my hunting boys! Battle! Battle! "Bai Qianjian drew his battle sword and commanded everything.
"We will definitely live up to expectations!" Everything was in order, and orders were given in an orderly manner.
Bai Qianjian breathed a sigh of relief, this battle came too suddenly, and his whole heart hung up.
