(Ask for collection, recommended votes)
In order to resist the annual beast tide, the Northern Dynasty can be said to have poured out the strength of the whole country, and the soldiers mobilized to Black Rock City alone numbered tens of thousands;
At this time, most of these soldiers were concentrated at the base of the city wall, blocking the hole dug by the sawtooth ants, only to see tens of thousands of people divided into different directions, confronting the wild beasts, shouting and killing one after another, human blood and animal blood mixed together, staining the earth red.
Compared with the city wall, the city head is also very lively.
"Poof!-"
Jiang Tianbai waved his hand casually, and a chilling sword qi shot out from his fingertips, directly shooting a double-headed colorful bird that swooped towards him from the air, but at this moment, two iron gibbons struck him left and right.
"Evil beast!" Jiang Tianbai's staff Li Ru, seeing this situation, shouted angrily, flew forward, and directly slashed the two iron gibbons under the sword.
"What's going on below?" Seeing Li Ru coming to his side, Jiang Tianbai hurriedly asked him about the situation in the city.
"The situation is not optimistic!" Li Ru replied worriedly: "My subordinates just looked at it, this beast tide is much stronger than in previous years, and in just such a short time, thousands of people have already died!"
"Oh!?" Hearing Li Ru say this, Jiang Tianbai frowned, obviously he also felt that the situation was a little bad, but as the supreme commander, at this critical juncture, he must not show his worries, otherwise his morale will inevitably be affected, so he has to beat his spirit: "Don't worry, as long as you survive this formation, at night, the beast tide will be eased, and the reinforcements who want to come to the imperial court will arrive soon!"
"My subordinates are afraid that before the reinforcements arrive, Black Rock City will be breached!" At this time, Li Ru also had something to say: "Now several teams have been destroyed!"
Li Ru thought for a while, and said boldly: "According to the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to send some of these innate masters in the city and let them go down to help!"
Although Jiang Tianbai had previously sent many commanders to command their respective men and horses to plug the loopholes in the city wall, but those sent down were only below the congenital triple heaven, and the real masters were all left on the city head by him to avoid the city head being captured by the two-headed sparrow and the iron gibbon, otherwise the two ends would be attacked, and the Black Rock City would be broken.
Hearing Li Ru's suggestion, Jiang Tianbai took a look at the situation at the head of the city and found that although there would still be some two-headed sparrows and iron gibbons climbing up to the head of the city from time to time, the situation was much better than before, and now the most worrying thing was the city.
"Okay!" Thinking of this, Jiang Tianbai nodded and agreed to Li Ru's suggestion: "You pick some people, let them go down to lead their men, and go to help!"
"Obey!" Li Ru took the order, and among the innate masters in the city, he picked out half of them and asked them to go down to help.
"Isn't it a little too much!" Jiang Tianbai frowned and said, now there are only about twenty innate masters left in the city, and the innate five heavens masters like Situ Huo and Chu Overlord have all rushed to the city to help, and most of those who remain, except for Qin Tianxiong, are not strong.
Seeing Jiang Tianbai's gloomy face, Li Ru took a step forward, leaned over and said, "City Lord......"
"Poof!-"
Jiang Tianbai was about to listen to Li Ru continue, but he didn't want Li Ru's body to bend like this, a cold light shot out directly from the back of his neck, Jiang Tianbai would have expected this sudden change, and Li Ru was too close to him to dodge at all.
The speed of this cold light was too fast, and he didn't have time to see it clearly, Jiang Tianbai felt a pain in his chest, looked down, and found that there was already an extra transparent hole in his chest, and blood flowed sideways, staining his chest red.
"Bang!-"
Jiang Tianbai never expected that Li Ru would suddenly sneak attack him, endured severe pain, and instinctively waved his hand and shot out a sword qi, wanting to kill Li Ru, but he didn't want an iron arrow of a divine crossbow to fly from the side and block this sword qi, Li Ru escaped from death and hurriedly retreated far away.
Jiang Tianbai's eyes were full of murderous intent, looking at Qin Tianxiong on the side, it was the iron arrow he threw over just now that blocked the sword qi shot by Jiang Tianbai.
"You ......" Jiang Tianbai opened his mouth, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, obviously Li Ru's sneak attack just now made him extremely seriously injured.
"Well done!" Qin Tianxiong walked to Li Ru's side and said with a smile: "The Ximen County Lord said that he had already been by Jiang Tianbai's side and laid an ambush to kill him, it turned out that it was you!"
The corners of Jiang Tianbai's mouth were bloody, his eyes turned back and forth on Qin Tianxiong and Li Ru, and finally fell on Li Ru, and said hatefully: "I think I am not thin on you, I didn't expect you to sneak attack me, saying, why do you want to betray me!"
"Betrayal?" Before Li Ru could answer, a voice like a silver bell came, and I saw Ximen Wumeng coming from nowhere, looking at Li Ru and smiling: "He is originally from my Western Dynasty, but you Jiang Tianbai is the city lord of the Northern Dynasty, how can he be considered a betrayal if he makes a move on you!"
"County Lord!" Seeing Ximen Wumeng appear, Li Ru immediately gave her a big salute.
"County Lord?" Jiang Tianbai's gaze fell on Ximen Wumeng, who suddenly appeared, and said in a cold voice: "You are the county lord of the Western Dynasty!?"
Ximen Wumeng acquiesced, and walked to Li Ru and Qin Tianxiong's side with Granny Wu.
"You sneak attack on me, nothing more than to let the beast tide conquer Black Rock City and enter the hinterland of Beizhou, so that you can further consume the strength of my Northern Dynasty and pave the way for your next annexation of Beizhou!"
Jiang Tianbai was able to be appointed as the lord of a city by the Northern Dynasty, and he was naturally a smart person, and he instantly understood why Ximen Wumeng, a dignified golden branch and jade leaf, appeared in this small black stone city, and why Li Ru, an undercover agent sent by the Western Dynasty, attacked him.
"It's just that I didn't expect that you, Qin Tianxiong, as a person from Beizhou, would actually be in the same stream as them!" Jiang Tianbai looked at Qin Tianxiong, if he hadn't blocked his sword qi just now, Li Ru would have been a puddle of flesh at this time!
"Joining the Stream?" Qin Tianxiong smiled and sneered: "Old man, this is called a good bird to choose a tree to perch!"
"In order to balance the strength of the major families in the city, you knew that the Situ family and the Chu family attacked the old man Qin family, and also prevented the old man from taking revenge, do you think the old man will still be loyal to you to the end?" Qin Tianxiong said coldly.
"Good!good!good!" Hearing Qin Tianxiong say this, Jiang Tianbai didn't bother to talk any more nonsense with him.
"Jiang Tianbai, you are also a talent, so far, if you are willing to surrender to my Western Dynasty, you can still save your life!" Ximen Wumeng persuaded him, Jiang Tianbai has the cultivation of a swordsman after all, such a master, if he can surrender, it will definitely be a big help.
"Haha!" Jiang Tianbai sneered, looked at Ximen Wumeng, and said arrogantly: "I, Jiang Tianbai, can have today, it all depends on the cultivation of the imperial court, and if I want to surrender, don't think about it!"
"What's more, although I have made a bad deal with your plots, I still have these helpers!" Jiang Tianbai waved his hand and pointed at the remaining twenty or so innate masters in the city, looked at Ximen Wumeng and the other four, and said disdainfully: "Do you think that with the four of you, you can really kill me?"
