Section 48 Beast Tide

Hook joined the army for more than nine years and was stationed in Nanyun Town for more than nine years. As an important town in and out of the Tiannan Mountain Range, where the monsters inhabit, Nanyun Town, where people come and go, is extremely prosperous. As a veteran oilman, in the past nine years, he has been accustomed to the ushering and sending of different faces, and he has long been accustomed to seeing life and death. In recognition of his ability and meritorious service, Hook was promoted to captain of the garrison four years ago, and has served as a garrison ever since.

With more than 100 people, he received a high military officer allowance from the Tiannan Independent Kingdom. Patrolling the town from time to time, feeling the awe-inspiring gaze of the people, Hook had an indescribable sense of fulfillment in his heart.

However, such days are coming to an end. According to the military law of the Tiannan Kingdom, Hook, who is about to turn ten years in the army, is approaching retirement age. At that time, Hook will say goodbye to the dangerous life in the barracks, receive a large amount of retirement money, and return to his hometown to live his life as a wealthy man. Buy a few acres of small land and marry a daughter-in-law. After a few years of living a life full of children and grandchildren, I will wake up from my dreams when I think about it.

"Captain, captain, wake up, wake up! Something seems wrong!"

Daydreaming, Hook is woken from his fantasy by the soldiers behind him. Hook's face was full of resentment, and he looked at Song Yuanfang, who had always been a shrewd soldier.

"What's going on?"

"Report to the captain, I've been feeling the earth shaking since just now. And as time went on, the vibration became more and more intense, for some unknown reason. Please rule on the captain of the wise and martial arts!" Seeing that the captain was not good, the pro-soldier immediately picked out the key points and explained them with interest, and lost no time in patting a sycophant.

The sycophants were obviously very useful, and Hook's face instantly turned from gloomy to sunny, and replaced with an amiable smile.

"There are indeed quirks. The sound was not like a fight, but like the movement of countless horses galloping. However, Nanyun Town is surrounded by dense jungles, so many horses are coming? There must be something strange about this matter, what do you think of Yuan Fang?"

"Captain wise, but we don't know why here. Just call the patrol at the edge of the town and ask to know what is going on. Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Captain, please look, the patrol has come to report. The soldier pointed to the patrol soldier who was hurrying not far away.

"Report...... Report...... Tell ......"

"What's the hurry, how do I usually teach you. The urine mountain collapses in front and does not change color, only then is the true color of a man! Look at your cowardice, as if you have lost your daughter-in-law and mother. Slowly, what's going on?" Hook glanced around, his majestic gaze overpowering the crowd around him. People are interested in not touching Hook's mold at this juncture.

"Report to your lordship, according to the scout's report, a large number of demonic beasts have been found three kilometers outside the town, and they are heading straight for the town!"

"Lots of them, how big?"

"Too many to count!"

"I'm sun, why didn't you say it earlier! When I first joined the army, I also encountered it once. This thing, commonly known as the Beast Tide, quickly raise the alarm!"

Hook's face changed dramatically, and he could no longer hold back his hysterical screams. As Hook spoke, the crowd that had been watching the excitement immediately exploded.

Mixed in the Tiannan Mountains all year round, he naturally often deals with demonic beasts. In this circle of hunting demonic beasts, there is an unwritten rule - it is better to encounter the emperor beast than the beast tide! It means that you would rather risk your life to fight for high-level demonic beasts than encounter a beast tide that has no way to live.

The cause of the beast tide has not yet been determined. But the dangers are real. Every time the town encounters the beast tide, it is ten rooms and nine empty. Under the ruins, there is almost no life.

Fortunately, Nanyun Town, as an important town on the edge of the Tiannan Mountain Range, usually built a towering city wall to defend against the invasion of high-level demonic beasts that wandered around. The defense is not at all lower than in the big cities. And every ten years, Nanyun Town will experience an impact of the beast tide, so a perfect early warning mechanism has also been established.

——

"Close the gates, close the drawbridge!" Hook led a group of men and horses and hurried up the city walls, and immediately began to set up defenses.

"Report! There doesn't seem to be anyone over there who hasn't entered the city. A soldier in charge of the lookout shouted.

Hook looked in the direction of the soldier's guidance, and sure enough, he saw several figures running out of the jungle five hundred feet away from the city. When you see the city gate, you can close it, and you are constantly waving.

If it was normal, Hook could still turn one eye and close one eye. After all, the impact of the beast tide is one more person and more power. However, it was impossible to estimate the speed of the beast tide at this moment, and Hook had to signal the city gate to continue closing. He couldn't hurt a town because of his indecision.

"How's it going?"

Hearing someone ask, Hook was a little displeased at first. When he saw the comer, Hook immediately tightened his whole body and saluted with a standard military salute.

"Report to your Excellency, according to the scout's briefing, the situation is not optimistic. I have arranged for an urgent dispatch to the royal capital for reinforcements. However, far water can't save the near fire, and in its current form, we still have to resist the first wave of the beast tide.

All the heavy weapons in the warehouse were transferred, all those who could be mobilized in the town were mobilized, and the old, young, sick and disabled were also issued weapons as reserves. At this time, everyone is very united, and everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth. The rest is up to the adults. ”

The young man next to Hook was dressed in a light blue suit, with a steely face, sharp edges and corners, sharp eyebrows, an eagle nose and thin lips, short hair standing up at the roots, and exposed muscles like a coiling dragon. Up and down the body, there is a breath of iron and blood. It was Duan Qingyun, the captain of the Qingyun team of the Qinglong Mercenary Group, who had several connections with Qingfeng.

The Qinglong Mercenary Regiment is directly under the royal family of the Tiannan Kingdom, and Duan Qingyun's position as the captain of the team is naturally much more powerful than the captain of the garrison in a place. At this time, Duan Qingyun's position is the highest, and all the city defense arrangements are naturally dominated by him.

Duan Qingyun did not shirk, and took a few steps forward to the battlement to watch the situation under the city. At this time, Qingfeng and the others had already rushed to the city, but the drawbridge had been closed and the city gate was closed. The crowd had to shout through the moat.

"Hey, it's them. What a coincidence!"

"Do you know them?" said Hook, rubbing his hands together and flatteringly.

"It's true that there have been several encounters, and you might pick them up?"

"Since the adults are speaking, there is naturally no problem with this. Hook snapped his chest and assured loudly.

A short time later, a tall ladder descended from the city walls. A rope was tied to one end of the ladder, and when the ladder hit the ground, the soldiers on the city wall hurriedly released the rope. The ladder crashed down, and one end was about to reach the other side, forming a makeshift wooden bridge. Qingfeng and the others quickly passed through the moat, and the ladder was pulled up again, and everyone went up the ladder, and they came to the city wall in a few efforts.

"Thank you ......"

The people who came to the city wall patted the dust on their bodies and thanked them. Huo Ran suddenly saw the familiar figure standing not far away, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, and his face was full of embarrassment. The haze of the egg-wrenching banquet a few months ago resurfaced in front of them, and everyone unconsciously snorted.

"Ahem, Brother Qingyun, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay lately?" Qingfeng took the lead in breaking the deadlock and casually asked for hello.

"It's not a long time, but I saw you some time ago. However, do you think it's okay to encounter this situation?" Duan Qingyun glanced at Qingfeng with a smile, then turned his face and continued to observe the situation outside Qicheng Town.

——

There were more and more frightened birds in the forest, and they flew up one after another, screaming and hovering in the air. Even from a distance, the towering trees shook significantly, and the shaking of the earth became more and more intense. The soldiers were ready to deal with the tide of beasts that could kill the city at any time.

Suddenly, a stout man in black ran out of the jungle in a panic and ran towards the city at a high speed, waving to the city wall for help as he ran.

"Is that him?"

Qing Feng stood beside Duan Qingyun and recognized the man in the distance, who turned out to be the culprit Black Bull who had repeatedly sought Qing Feng's troubles. Dare to hide quickly, and escaped with his life in the previous conflict. This time, though, it wasn't so lucky.

As soon as the black bull ran out of the jungle, the big trees in the forest behind him fell down, and a group of red-eyed demonic beasts rushed out of the dust. After a while, he caught up with the black bull. Before the black bull could shout more, it was run over by the tide of beasts. Looking at the situation, it is estimated that there will not even be a little scum left.

——

Everyone gasped, and a cold sweat flowed down. has been running back to the city in a hurry, and I know that there are many demonic beasts killed behind, but how many there are, and Qing Feng, who has been chased all the way, does not know. At this moment, Qing Feng had time to take a closer look at the surging beast tide.

Among the boundless surging demonic beasts, in addition to most of the third- to fourth-order demonic beasts, there were also a large number of fifth- and sixth-order demonic beasts. Even the seventh- and eighth-order high-level demonic beasts can occasionally be seen. These monsters are an absolutely devastating force in normal times. If there were no strong walls and sharp weapons, everyone would not even have the slightest intention to compete with them.

The beast tide came quickly, and it was less than two hundred zhang away from the city, and the warriors with good eyesight could almost see the black curly nose hair in the nose of the demonic beast. The earth shook wildly, and the hearts of the people on the city walls couldn't help but hang.

"The first team pulls the bow and throws it 45 degrees above. The second team advances, takes cover from the battlements, and shoots at will! The third team stands by and shoots the invading flying beasts at any time. The god-destroying crossbow is aimed at the high-level demonic beasts and fires, don't waste it! The magic crystal cannon is ready, and the beast herd enters one hundred and fifty zhang before firing. The soldiers in the rear are on standby!"

Duan Qingyun was calm and calm, and he waved his big hand and shouted. The soldiers, who were still a little confused, immediately found the backbone and took their places with Duan Qingyun's instructions.

Qing Feng looked at the cousin beside him, who was quite a general, and sighed. If he also grew up in Jiangmen, it is estimated that he will be like Duan Qingyun in the future.

However, Qingfeng also knows that this cousin's achievements today are completely due to his own hard work. The flowers in the greenhouse weren't covered in hideous scars like he was. Especially this kind of handsome and illustrious brother, who should have lingered among the flowers.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The strong sound of the bow pulled Qingfeng's attention back. With the arrows shot like locusts, the man-beast attack and defense battle in Nanyun Town officially kicked off!
