People surrounded at once, and someone read out the message, "All mercenary friends who stayed in Fenglin Town: This time the beast tide is expected to arrive in this town when the first snow falls, and it will last for about half a month. The town has plenty of food and well-trained troops, so please stay in the town with peace of mind. Sheriff of Maplewood: Bloomberg",

People exploded and someone asked, "How?" Don't Lord Neo need us mercenaries to go to the front line to fight against the beast tide? ”，

Highfield stood on a rock and said, "Everyone, be quiet. ”

When the crowd quieted down, Highfield said, "Master Neo said, you just need to stay in the town, eat and drink. Think of it as a vacation for yourself. Resisting the beast tide, there are soldiers in this town, and many powerful cultivators to protect everyone, so you can enjoy the holiday. ”

At this moment, the crowd became excited, and someone shouted, "No, we also have to go up to the city wall, how can we watch others kill the enemy and hide behind ourselves to enjoy the happiness?" No, I have to go! ”

People are like this, they are reluctant when they are forced, but they take the initiative, and the enthusiasm is really moving.

The townspeople also stirred up and asked, "Highfield, why didn't Lord Neo tell us what to do?" ”

Highfield laughed and said, "Damondy, what else do you want to do?" Serve your mother-in-law honestly at home, and if you have a few more cubs, you will contribute to the town. ”

Everyone laughed loudly, and Highfield continued: "Listen, everyone, Master Neo said, from now on, everyone should do their own thing, those who farm will plant the fields well, those who fish will catch more fish, and the matter of war will be left to the army." ”

When everyone heard this, they were completely relieved, and they had more respect for Maple Grove Town under the leadership of Neo.

Originally, Neo also considered letting the mercenaries participate in the war and pay them according to their merits, but this suggestion was firmly rejected by Jimmy.

Jimmy's reason is that although the mercenaries' individual combat strength is good, the army pays attention to collective strength, and it is necessary to achieve unity and obey commands.

In the eyes of the leaders of the town, this beast tide is a rare opportunity to train troops, and these mercenaries will not only not help much, but will also disrupt the deployment of the troops.

Moreover, with the strength of the army in the town now, if even this beast tide can't resist this time, then what can you do to fight the abyss demon, it is better for everyone to disband collectively, go wandering and adventure, and fight a fart battle, fight for a fart of war merits!

The sky was overcast, and there were scattered snowflakes in the sky.

In the middle of the night last night, the first snow of the year fell, which also signaled that the beast tide was coming.

The soldiers on duty went up to the city wall overnight and dressed up as guards.

Before dawn today, Neo came to the city wall of Maple Forest Pass.

Some of the old lords also came out of their homes and stood on both sides of the road in the pass, looking at the city wall with concern.

Bloomberg took the trouble to tell the people over and over again that this beast tide was a training exercise for the town, and that it would not cause any damage to Maple Grove, so please go home and rest, don't worry.

Originally, with the town's current armament, it would not be a problem to win a small war, let alone a mere beast tide.

On the city walls, the hinges of the trebuchets were hinged, and the pouches were filled with stone projectiles, which were wrapped in a layer of cotton and linen soaked in oil, and when fired, the stone projectiles could be projected by lighting them with torches.

The war golem's spring has also been opened, and the arrow box is faintly visible.

The spears in the hands of the soldiers lined up neatly on the city wall, and the sharp blades of the spears reflected the gloomy sky even colder.

In front of these spearmen were two rows of archers, their longbows hanging from their waists, some of them clenching their fists and puffing into their palms, and some of them stomping their feet slightly to warm their bodies.

There is a shallow fire ditch at the archer's feet, and the fire ditch is already filled with oil, and when the monster arrives, it will ignite the fire ditch, and the cotton cloth wrapped in the front end of the archer's arrow is also soaked in oil, and the arrow can be ignited by simply pointing the arrow downward.

Most of the demonic beasts without wisdom are afraid of fire, and the low-level demonic beasts are no exception, so long-range weapons such as catapults and bows and arrows are wrapped in oilcloths to defeat the enemy with fire.

The pass city wall is still some distance from the edge of the forest, from the dense forest to the city wall is still nearly two miles away, between the city wall and the forest is a flat land, flat land on the flat land not a single grass.

In the open space in front of the city wall, some deer were piled up, and many sharpened wooden stakes were inserted on the ground, and the wooden stakes pointed obliquely in the direction of the Warcraft Forest, and the ground between the wooden stakes was also covered with animal traps.

There was silence on the entire city wall, except for the sound of hunting as the cold wind swept over the banner.

On the wall to the left of the tower, Gregi, led by Boomer and another soldier of the Holy Cult of Light, led by Pantanvili and Highfield, was in charge of guarding.

To the right of the tower are Sampdoris and a Grand Knight Commander, Cert and Pierre and Stevens in charge, and Jimmy, as the commander of the entire battle, commanding the whole battle.

Before the battle, Pantanvelli and several other old people from the town came together to ask Neo for battle.

During this period of time, the new arrivals in the town have become more powerful than the other, and several things have been done in the town by these newcomers, and even Tutu of the Seven Kings Village has helped Neo do a lot of things, which has made Pantanvili and them breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

This time the beast tide, a few of them found Neo, and they burst into tears, saying that they would go up to the city wall to resist the beast tide.

The cultivation of several of them also happened to reach the bottleneck of the knight realm, and it was the need for a battle to break through, so Neo agreed to them.

Originally, Neo wanted to send the Barbarian brothers and others, but Jimmy made a military order, saying that these people were already over, and guaranteed victory.

So, Neo and Mensadore stood on the tower with the other commanders to watch the battle. The other Transcendent Realm cultivators all stayed in the Saint Realm Valley.

The town is such a small place at the moment, if they need rescue, they can be there in a flash.

Only Tina and Rebecca came to the castle tower, and the others did not even go up to the castle tower.

The castle tower in the middle of the pass was fifteen meters high, and it was crowded with people.

In addition to Neo and Menzado, other officials from the town also came to the castle tower, all to observe the army's battle.

In the pass, all kinds of military baggage were neatly stacked next to the outpost, all in all, everything is ready in Fenglin Town now, just waiting for the beast tide to come.
