Chapter 119: The Battle Begins
The number of these wolf beasts is so large that it is impossible to judge how many tens of thousands of them have come out, and most of the green wolves do not say a word, only a few wolf beasts howl continuously, one after another, as if they are transmitting some information to each other.
"Fortunately, this is only the smallest wolf beast, if you encounter a larger wolf beast, I am afraid that with the number of wolf beasts alone, the burning city will definitely not be able to resist it. Hu Yong, who was standing next to Xiao Xuan, turned a little pale, and muttered with his hands secretly clenched into fists.
As soon as Xiao Xuan heard the scar-faced man's words, he suddenly came back to his senses from the astonishing number of wolf beasts, and sighed lightly with a strange face.
"If it's just these ordinary wolf beasts, no matter how many they are, there is nothing to be afraid of under the high city of our human race. The terrifying thing is that the beast herd is usually led by some low-cost demon beasts who have already opened their spiritual intelligence. There are also a lot of mutant beasts between ordinary beasts and demon beasts, and these mutated beasts, although they don't have some incredible magical powers like mutant monsters, but they are terrifying enough for ordinary beasts. Not only is the size, strength, and speed far from the same. At least ordinary low-level monks can't deal with it one-on-one. The scarface man Hu Yong said solemnly.
"It's so tricky!Are there a lot of mutant beasts in the herd?" Xiao Xuan frowned.
"Basically, one out of a thousand beasts will mutate. Hu Yong thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly.
"Thousand?"*a*book*read*novelxstxt Xiao Xuan looked at the cyan beast sea in the distance again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even if he couldn't accurately see the number of these green wolves, at least there were millions, and the number of mutant wolf beasts in such a huge number would definitely be thousands, even if not tens of thousands.
With so many mutant beasts, it is indeed a lethal force in the attack and defense of a city that will not have a god-level monk.
"Alright, let's go somewhere else and see how the rest of the beasts are doing. After looking at it for a while, Hu Yong said with a sigh. It seems that the prospects of this beast tide are not very optimistic.
"Why is Brother Hu a little worried that he won't be able to defend this city?" Although Xiao Xuan went down the huge city wall with the other party according to his words, he still asked with a smile.
"Hu Mou is indeed a little worried, the few times that the beast group has broken through the slaughter city in the past were all small cities that were newly established less than 10,000 years ago, such as the Burning City, and they were all broken by the outbreak of the big beast tide and the lack of preparation in advance. And this time there are tigers, leopards, birds, beasts, and aerial demon birds, and the number of such demon birds will not be too many. But every one of them is born as a first-level demon beast, and if it can't be prevented in the air, it's really dangerous. Hu Yong looked worried.
"Is it so terrifying?" Xiao Xuan's eyes flashed, as if he didn't believe it, "How much can they have in terms of individual strength among demon beasts?"
"Flying birds are not very high ranked among demon beasts, but they are born with a body that can emit a kind of poison, and ordinary people will be killed immediately when they hear it, and they can't fight in close quarters. The only way is to shoot them down from afar. But this kind of demon bird is the kind of race that is more flexible and fast. If the anti-air force is insufficient, it will be difficult to really block them. And the anti-air power of the Burning City is the weakest point of defense. Hu Yong said slowly.
"How can there be such a thing if the air force is insufficient, doesn't the Lord of the Burning City know that this matter is serious?" Xiao Xuan was surprised.
Now he knew that almost all the worldly power in the city was in the hands of the city lord.
"What's the use of knowing, I heard that this city suffered heavy losses during the last beast tide, and the original power was exhausted, and it has been the result of the hard work of the city lord to restore the current defensive strength, and I heard that he also borrowed some weapons and soldiers from other nearby cities, and the power of the air is naturally powerless. Hu Yong actually said such a thing.
Xiao Xuan was a little speechless when he heard this.
Soon, when Xiao Xuan followed the Scarface man to stand on the other city wall, the sea of red beasts formed by the anaconda looked even more formidable than the cyan wolves.
The only good news is that this python is not poisonous and will not spit poisonous mist, and it is much easier to defend.
Xiao Xuan sighed secretly after seeing from a distance that appeared from time to time in the sea of pythons, a giant python with a body shape far from the same size.
This kind of mutant python coiled in a ball has a body that is more than ten zhang long, and it is not smaller than a red dragon, and ordinary people are entangled or swallowed by this giant beast, and the end can be known. And the number of this mutant python is naturally more because the python group is much larger than the wolf group.
After seeing the two kinds of beasts, Xiao Xuan regretted that he didn't see the tigers, leopards, birds and beasts mentioned in Hu Yong's mouth.
According to Scarface, this kind of demon bird generally inhabits hidden places, and will not appear until the attack time.
"What are the beasts waiting for now, why didn't they attack immediately?" Looking at the python group in the distance, Xiao Xuan suddenly asked.
"The beast herd is led by demon beasts that have opened their minds, so naturally it is impossible for them to attack in a swarm, and they will definitely decide the time to attack together after contacting the other two groups of beasts, so that we humans have no time to take care of many places. Generally speaking, this time is about a day. Let's go, we're just a drop in the ocean in this kind of big war, let's do our best. If we were really lucky enough to break through the bottleneck or realize something in the fight, it would not be considered that we had taken such a risk to stay. ”
Hu Yong sneered for the last time, and took Xiao Xuan back to the city, and finally returned to the inn.
Sure enough, the guards in the inn had received an order from the Burning City to go out immediately and gather somewhere to recuperate.
Hu Yong didn't hesitate at all, and immediately gave an order, and more than 200 guards all walked out of the inn.
At this time, there were also teams and monks like Xiao Xuan who had been recruited on the streets outside, but most of them were not as numerous and fierce as this, ranging from five or six people to dozens of people walking together.
Xiao Xuan and the others naturally attracted attention along the way, and the more than fifty knights with strange beasts among them were even more eye-catching.
After all, there are not many war beasts tamed by humans, and each one of them has been carefully cultivated since childhood to exhaust the wildness before it can cooperate with the knights on the body to exert their usual strength, so the price is expensive.
The crowd and the rest of the street were led to a large plaza near a wall that faced the part of the city facing the wolves.
There were already tens of thousands of bare-handed young men and some teams and scattered monks in different costumes, among whom there were also a few people riding war beasts, but among so many people, including the knights in the general banner, there were only more than two hundred war beasts.
Around the square, there were soldiers who had burned the city to maintain order, all armed and armed.
A middle-aged man in silver armor stood at one end of the square, and at this time, the middle-aged man in silver armor saw that the crowd seemed to be almost gathered, and waved his hand behind him without saying a word.
A soldier with a loud voice immediately stepped forward, and uttered a barrage of orders that had been prepared long ago.
The order was to first select all the knights who had mounts in the field to form a separate cavalry team, and then a convoy of chariots poured into the square, from which the soldiers brought down a large number of weapons and a small amount of armor, and began to distribute them among the young men.
As for those monks, they naturally didn't look down on these ordinary blades, and stood in place one by one with cold eyes.
At this time, another group of soldiers began to prepare the young and strong people who had been assigned weapons, but Xiao Xuan and the other private teams and the scattered monks were temporarily put aside, and no one paid attention to them for the time being.
Just when these people were a little suspicious, suddenly a long wolf howl came from outside the city, this howl was extremely high and terrible, and it was full of a thick sense of madness.
Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and before he had time to think about it, then outside the city wall, ten thousand wolves roared together, and the beast roared straight into the nine skies, rolling like thunder.
Those monks were fine, but their faces changed slightly, and the ordinary people were horrified and felt that there was nothing left between heaven and earth except the sound of beast roars.
But this was only the beginning, and a "hissing" sound and a strange whining beast roar were heard in the other direction.
Although these sounds are not as turbulent as the wolf howl, they make people feel even more cold behind their bodies.
At this moment, a gong erected on the city wall in the distance rang out, and almost all of them were sounded at the same time, and then a long man's voice was heard in the air, which was not loud but clearly reached the ears of everyone in the entire square.
"Be careful, the beasts are starting to move towards the city wall!" said a gray-robed monk in the foundation building period, standing tall in the air with a flying sword under his feet. And it was not this person who gave a warning in the air, almost every part of the entire Burning City had an imperial weapon suspended in the sky, and all the monks in the sky made a warning sound.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the entire burning city, and a group of soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately pulled out one by one and climbed the city wall, and the huge crossbow bolts on the city wall immediately began to be operated by people standing behind them......
After everyone on the field lost their minds, they instead accelerated the process of dividing weapons under the loud scolding of the middle-aged man in silver armor.
Someone finally came over to reorganize the armed forces of Xiao Xuan and the others and the monks in a small group.
Because the war was imminent, these unruly monks in the past became extremely cooperative, and in a matter of moments, a team of 200 people became a dozen teams.
Those young and strong ordinary people were not immediately mobilized as reserves, but some of these monks who had practiced various exercises and private armed forces who had undergone a certain amount of training were immediately sent to the city wall to assist the soldiers of the burning city to defend it.
It doesn't happen that Xiao Xuan, the person of the general banner, is too conspicuous, and they are among the first batch of people.
In this way, Xiao Xuan and the other 200 general banners were assigned to a city wall, and the thousands of soldiers there jointly defended this section.
Xiao Xuan stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, only to see that the cyan wolves had stopped howling and slowly moved closer to this side, as if a moving cyan grassland made it impossible to see the end.
