Chapter 57: The Beast Tide Erupts
Three days later, at nightfall, the Wild Beast Mountain Range moved again, and a wave of beast tides of considerable scale gathered again, about to attack Red Flame City.
The sentry that detected that the beast tide had a tendency to condense quickly whipped up overnight, and delivered the news to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible.
Zhu Tianwu, who received the news, hurriedly put down everything at hand and issued several orders one after another, informing the Chiyan Legion to prepare for battle.
At the same time, the golden guards stationed in the city lord's mansion also rushed to the city gate overnight, stepping on the towers on the city wall and waiting for them.
When the entire Red Flame City broke out, it seemed to come to life, and thousands of lights were brightly lit, as if it was a city that never sleeps.
Far from complaining about the noise of the march in the middle of the night, the people took the initiative to light the lanterns on both sides of the street to light the way forward.
At this time, on the beacon tower, Zhu Tianwu was covered in black armor, hunting in black robes, and his big hand was on the outer wall, staring at the dark night sky in the distance.
On its right side, Zhu Yunxuan was dressed in a fiery red battle armor, his red cloak danced in the wind, and he was holding a spear with a solemn expression.
On its left, the same young man wrapped in crimson armor, his face slightly emaciated under the helmet of a flame mark, his eyes were a little puzzled, but more curious.
"Uncle, what is the scale of the beast tide this time? Is there accurate news?" Yu Yilie couldn't help but ask when he saw that the beast tide had not yet arrived.
"Xiao Lie, you haven't experienced the beast tide, that's why you asked like this. This beast tide may only be a small group, but it is also very likely to be a striker, no one can say. In either case, we must do our best to deal with it, at the lowest cost, in exchange for the greatest result. Zhu Tianwu explained slowly, his eyes still staring ahead.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty sent the Golden Armor Guard, otherwise in the face of those fierce beasts with rough skin and thick flesh, our army will suffer heavy losses. If there were no more than a few fierce beasts, no matter how many ordinary beasts or fierce beasts there were, there would be nothing to fear. However, these fierce beasts are not only several times larger than ordinary beasts, but their defense and attack power are even more amazing. Every time we met in close combat, our army's formation was quickly broken by these fierce beasts, and there were heavy casualties. Zhu Yunxuan explained to him with emotion at this time.
However, there are no less than 100,000 people in the Chiyan Legion, but nine of them are martial artists in the middle of the day after tomorrow, and only one percent of the martial artists in the middle of the day after tomorrow are in the middle of the day after tomorrow, and the number of generals in the innate realm is less than ten.
There are many kinds of beast tides that gush out of the Wild Beast Mountain Range every time, but there are only more than one percent of ordinary beasts, but the fierce beasts comparable to the martial artists of the acquired realm account for more than eighty percent, and the fierce beasts comparable to the martial artists of the innate realm account for as many as half of them.
The scale and number of beast tides are very amazing, even if it is a small beast tide, there are nearly 10,000 numbers, although the number of fierce beasts among them cannot be nearly 100, but it has never been ten digits.
The largest beast tide that Red Flame City has experienced is the one when Zhu Tianwu released the thunderbolt, and there were nearly eighty thousand beasts at that time, among which there were hundreds of fierce beasts.
The military formation composed of 100,000 troops in the entire Red Flame City, in less than half an hour of short-handed encounter, quickly showed a one-sided trend under the rampage of these fierce beasts.
If Zhu Tianwu does not make a decision and shrinks the whole army and retreats, he is afraid that the Chiyan Legion will exist in name only.
And the Thunderbolt was originally a great killing weapon for attacking the city, not only with a huge range but also with amazing power, not to mention a martial artist in the Innate Realm, even if it was a martial artist in the Purple Mansion Realm, it might not be able to be intact within its explosion range.
The most terrifying thing about this thing is that there is no distinction between friend and foe, and once it is released, there will be no living creatures in that area.
The corpses of that battle were all over the field, and the stumps and severed bones can still be seen everywhere outside the city.
But the beast tide did not subside because of this, as if there were countless beasts in the Beast Mountain Range, and they could never be killed.
Zhu Tianwu has sent his elites to the Beast Mountain Range many times to explore the cause of the frequent occurrence of beast tides, but to no avail.
The Wild Beast Mountains on the periphery are no different on weekdays, although there are many wild beasts and even fierce beasts active, but even if they are hunted, they will not gather resistance.
The same is true of the inner perimeter of the Wild Beast Mountain Range, but there are fierce beasts rampant inside, and there are many fierce beasts, which are very dangerous.
But if he went deeper, his spies never returned, and the situation inside was unknown.
He tried to take the initiative to lead the army into the Beast Mountain Range, and cleaned up all kinds of fierce beasts and fierce beasts in it little by little.
The result was undoubtedly that stealing chickens and rice was not successful, and when a strange beast roar resounded through the Beast Mountain Range, they were soon surrounded by herds of beasts from all directions, and the vitality of the battle was greatly damaged.
Time passed little by little, and Yu Yilie keenly felt that the city wall was faintly trembling, and his eyes couldn't help but freeze.
"It's coming!" Yu Yilie exclaimed softly, staring into the distance.
Zhu Tianwu's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this, and he didn't think much about why he was so clear, and his eyes were slightly squinted and stared ahead.
However, after three or five breaths, the trembling that became more and more obvious even Zhu Yunxuan felt it, and he didn't understand that the beast tide was already approaching.
At the same time, a beast roar like a torrent mixed with it came from afar, and the battle was unavoidable!
Outside the city, within a radius of ten miles, there are no less than 50,000 torches, like a sea of flames guarding in front of the Red Flame City, this is the heavy armor team of the Red Flame Legion!
"Xiao Lie, how about going to fight with my brother?!" Zhu Yunxuan waved the spear in his hand and asked him proudly.
"Why don't you fight! My big knife is already hungry and thirsty!" Yu Yilie smiled and readily agreed.
At this time, Zhu Tianwu suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "All the soldiers listen to the order! Open the city gate and face the battle!"
