In the face of Qianfu's accusations, even if Jiang Yunqing is determined, it is inevitable that he will be a little overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Yan Tiannan burst out of his body with his aura and stepped forward.

The residents were surprised to see him coming with a thin look of anger on his face, and they couldn't help but change their faces slightly, and took a few steps back.

He glanced at the audience, and said loudly, "Everyone, I understand your concerns, but I can assure you that it will be safer to stay in the city than outside!"

Outside, you have no barrier, and the tide of beasts is coming, and you who have lost your shelter will not be spared in less than three hours, and all of you will be killed.

Since the establishment of our Yancheng, we have experienced several beast tides, and we can still stand, which is enough to show that our city walls are strong and the fortifications are perfect, you don't have to worry at all!

I, Yan Tiannan, as the lord of a city, swear in front of everyone today that I will live and die with Yancheng, and I will live and die with you, and I will never abandon everyone in order to steal my life!

Now I ask you to go back for the time being, so that it does not interfere with our mission to defend the city.

Of course, if we can, we also hope that everyone will do their part to protect our homeland together!

Not only that, but I declare that whoever kills ten first-class demon beasts will be rewarded with fifty Yuan Stones; Whoever kills a second-level demon beast will be rewarded with 300 yuan stones; Whoever kills a third-level demon beast will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan stones; Whoever kills a fourth-level demon beast will be rewarded with 500,000 yuan stones!"

Yan Tiannan first moved with affection, and then applied the reward system, from beginning to end, he did not oppress them, which shows that his means of handling things are clever and full of wisdom.

When the residents heard this, they all looked at each other, feeling that what he said was reasonable.

As far as they understand Yan Tiannan, they also understand the other party's personality, which is fair, selfless, and fearless, which is trustworthy.

Just when their minds were shaken, Xiao Han suddenly felt a vibration under his feet, and the others also felt it.

Just when everyone was in shock, a "boom" roar suddenly came from outside the city, and some small stones on the ground shook and jumped.

Everyone's faces changed, and as if there was a consensus at the moment, they all rushed to the city tower.

The moment they climbed the tower, everyone's faces became shocked and frightened, because they saw a scene that they would never forget.

The black pressed piece, as far as the eye could see, countless demon beasts rolled from between the heavens and the earth in the north, the speed was extremely fast, flying all over the sky and dust, and the shaking heaven and earth were trembling.

Xiao Han's face was gloomy, because according to his observations, the scale of this wave of beast tides had reached at least 300,000 first-level demon beasts, 10,000 second-level demon beasts, and 1,000 third-level demon beasts!

This is only the first wave of the beast tide, it has such an astonishing scale, then the second wave, the third wave, isn't it even bigger, with this bit of strength of Yan Cheng, can it really withstand this beast tide? He couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yan Tiannan, and found that the other party's face also showed a touch of disbelief, obviously he had not expected that this beast tide would reach such an unprecedented scale.

He immediately ordered: "Activate the defense of the whole city, everyone is ready for war at all times!"

As he spoke, he took out another signal flare and launched a dazzling fireworks into the sky, and then in the city lord's mansion in the central area of the city, a huge tower with a height of more than fifty zhang rose up.

Immediately afterwards, on the four city gate towers of Yancheng, a black spire as high as twenty zhang rose from each.

After these five giant towers were raised, Xiao Han saw Yan Tiannan take out another palm-sized cyan seal, and after injecting vitality, he threw it into the sky, turning into a streamer and flying to the top of the spire in the City Lord's Mansion.

After the seal was suspended in the air, a cyan flame burst out from it, hitting the minaret, and then a circle of lightning arcs rose from the minaret.

When the thunder and lightning accumulated to a certain extent, four purple-black lightning bolts shot out from the spire, hitting the four spires on the city gate tower.

Then, from the top of the five spires, a continuous purple-black thunder shot out into the sky at the same time, and then, a protective shield full of purple-black thunder and lightning slowly appeared, covering the entire Yancheng.

At this time, the beast tide was less than ten miles away from Yancheng.

However, just when everyone was glad that the protective shield was opened in time, Xiao Han suddenly found that more than a dozen people ran out of the small forest three miles outside the city gate in a panic and were rushing towards Yancheng.

Soon, Yan Tiannan also discovered this group of people.

Someone commented, "Look at their appearance, it looks like they've come from a nearby town!"

"Yes, looking at their direction, it looks like they have taken refuge from Qingyang Town!"

......

There was a lot of talk among the people, and some of them could not help but sigh because they had already predicted the final fate of these fugitives, and they would surely die!

Not to mention that their speed is not fast enough, even if they can successfully reach Yancheng, they have to face a problem, that is, at this moment, the protective shield has been opened, and no one can only go out and not enter, which means that these people will be torn apart and eaten by the beasts in front of them.

At this moment, Yan Tiannan's face was very ugly, if they could hurry up, they might arrive in Yancheng safely before the protective shield was opened, but now, it was too late.

Both sides were running towards Yancheng, but the speed of the beast tide was obviously faster, and when the group was only two miles away from Yancheng, the beast tide was less than five miles away from Yancheng.

When they turned their heads and saw that the beast tide was behind them, they were immediately shocked and ran forward frantically, stretching the distance between the two sides a lot.

As they approached Yancheng, there was a woman in the group, who shouted in a voice that was almost begging: "Open the city gate quickly! Please open the city gate quickly! We also have a baby with us, please save my child!"

When Yan Tiannan heard this, his heart was shocked, and he looked at it and found that in the hand of a woman, he was indeed holding a baby.

He immediately ordered, "Prepare to open the city gates!" and as he spoke, he tried to undo the shield.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly said, "You can't open the city gate, let alone lift the protective shield!"

Xiao Han looked up and found that the person who spoke was none other than a resident of the city who was clamoring to leave Yancheng.

I only heard him say emotionally: "Now that the beast tide is approaching, it is possible to overtake them at any time, if you open the city gate now, in case the beast tide takes the opportunity to break through the defense line, won't it cost us our lives in vain?"

Some people thought that what he said was not unreasonable, and immediately chimed in: "That's right! You can't open the city gates, and you can't put so many of us in danger for the sake of a few people!"

"Yes, I don't agree to open the gates, it's too dangerous!"

"Yes, you are the lord of a city, you are responsible for our lives, you can't be so childish!"

......

For a while, many people echoed him, asking him not to open the city gate and to put their safety first, but Xiao Han stood aside and watched coldly, without saying a word.

Yan Tiannan was heartbroken, there are wicked people, mediocre people, laypeople in this world, and there must be good people.

He understood their fears, and gambled the life and death of a city to save a dozen people, the stakes were too big and too dangerous, but these dozen people were also the people under his rule, not to mention that the woman still had a baby in her arms waiting to be fed.

His heart can withstand the tragic death of an adult in the mouth of a beast, but he can't bear the tragic death of a young and weak baby under the cruel minions of the demon beast.

On the one hand, the safety of the people in the city, and on the other hand, the innocent lives that were about to die, Yan Tiannan's heart fell into a fierce struggle.

Jiang Yunqing and other high-level officials of the City Lord's Mansion were also nervously waiting for his final decision.

Xiao Han was silent, he had no power to choose, because even he could die under the beast tide, not to mention that he was an outsider hiding under the protection of the city.

However, just as Yan Tiannan was hesitating, a miserable scream suddenly came from outside the city.

Everyone looked at it, and saw that one of the people in that group was more than ten feet behind, and he was instantly submerged in the beast tide.

At this moment, they were less than fifty zhang away from the gate of Yancheng City.

Fifty zhang is just a matter of breath for them, at this time it is already a matter of a thousand moments, Yan Tiannan immediately decided, everything is to save people first!

"Open the city gate, and the second group will follow me to save people!"

With an order, Yan Tiannan took the lead in rushing down the city tower, followed by nine purple-clothed warriors.

Xiao Han could clearly see that the cultivation aura of the nine purple-clothed martial artists was actually in the early stage of the Xuan Realm.

Ten people came to the city gate in an instant, and in the angry and frightened eyes of the residents, Yan Tiannan lifted the ban on the city gate, and when the city gate was opened, a gap was also revealed in the protective shield.

The speed of the ten people was as fast as a streamer, and they rushed out of the city gate in less than half a breath, and at the same time, the dozen or so fugitives had also arrived, and the beast tide behind them also rushed towards them.

The moment the three parties intersected, Yan Tiannan and the others made a swift move, forcibly isolating the beast tide and those who escaped.

However, in the face of the surging beast tide like a torrential rain and furious tide, their attacks had no effect at all, even though they harvested the lives of a large number of demon beasts with one move, but the berserk demon beasts that followed one after another filled the void almost at the same time.

Seeing that the beast tide was about to pounce on them, Yan Tiannan's eyes were cold, and he instantly turned into a sword full of cold light, and as soon as the long sword was lifted, a sword curtain like a mountain rose up, blocking the invasion of the demon beast.

However, Yan Tiannan's strength alone could not stop so many demon beasts at all, and hundreds of demon beasts opened their mouths at the same time to spew out a vitality training, which instantly fell into the sword curtain.

Suddenly, the sword curtain couldn't hold on to even half a breath before it broke in response.

The sword curtain shattered, and it exploded in an instant, and the qi waves rolled like an angry tide, directly shocking Yan Tiannan and the others back a few steps, and even the part of the surging beast tide they faced paused for a moment.

It was at this moment that Yan Tiannan and the others were in a hurry, wrapped the dozen or so people with vitality, and sent them into the city gate.

And when Yan Tiannan retreated to the gate of the city, the magic trick was pinched, and just when he wanted to close the protective cover, suddenly a vitality that could destroy the mountain and break the mountain rushed out of the beast tide and shot straight at the south gate of Yan Tian.
