"scold--"

A deafening roar echoed from the mountains.

The Beast King was enraged.

It can understand the meaning of Zhang Lin's gestures.

If before, the Beast King only regarded Zhang Lin as a tiny ant, with a contemptuous attitude that suggested he could crush Zhang Lin at any time, then now the Beast King has changed.

A person will not get angry when provoked by an ant.

Anger only arises when provoked by an opponent of equal caliber.

That's exactly what the current Beastmaster is like.

"Hey, who's broken down now?"

Seeing the Beast King's furious expression, Zhang Lin couldn't help but laugh. Right now, he only regretted being too far away from the Beast King, and besides, the Beast King might not even understand human language. He had nowhere to vent all his witty remarks!

Without any provocative words to provoke it, the Beast King roared angrily but quickly calmed down, turned around, left the highlands, and returned to the center of the beast tide.

It has decided that it must completely eliminate this group of humans, especially the one who dared to provoke it.

It must devour this human alive to vent its hatred.

...

For the next day or so, the vanguard troops on the mountain rested and regrouped.

Many people died in the great battle and need to deal with the aftermath. Most people need to rest. Fortunately, the vanguard has the advantage of terrain, so the beast tide will not launch a strong attack for the time being.

Zhang Lin has already sent someone to contact Hope City.

He needs Hope City to send more people over so they can launch a night raid on the beast tide, attacking from both sides. This would increase their chances of success.

Actually, there is another reason.

If the beast tide continues to fight the vanguard here, it's impossible for the vanguard to fight desperately at the front while the people at the rear sleep soundly in Hope City, right?

Zhang Lin wasn't that great.

That's just how he is. If he's the captain of the second team, he'll definitely favor the second team. If he's in charge of the vanguard, he'll definitely favor the vanguard.

They tend to be very protective of their own.

This move was a strategic decision, but Zhang Lin wouldn't be foolish enough to lead his men to the front lines and fight the beast tide head-on.

That's just Zhang Lin's mindset.

...

Time flew by, and the very next day, Zhang Lin received a message from Chen Zibo. He had already led the people of Hope City out, but they did not dare to approach the beast tide. Now he had found a secluded place to hide, waiting for Zhang Lin's order to join the vanguard on the mountain to charge towards the beast tide.

"Boss, something's fishy going on here!"

Li Junhao looked at the message sent by Chen Zibo with a cold expression. He was a kind and gentle person, and his face reflected his heart. Under normal circumstances, his expression would look very gentle, but at this moment, his cold expression meant that he was in a bad mood.

The communication between the Vanguard Army and Chen Zibo was rather old-fashioned, using radio.

The information conveyed was also relatively simple.

But Li Junhao immediately sensed something fishy when he saw the brief message Chen Zibo sent.

Chen Zibo didn't say much, just that he had brought a lot of people, who the key figures were, and then he mentioned his position.

That's all.

But Li Junhao saw a crucial piece of information.

The people Chen Zibo brought this time were mostly from Hope City, while only a few of the various forces, large and small, that had already settled in Hope City sent people to participate in the exhibition.

"Could something have happened to the city lord? If she were here, this wouldn't have happened!" Jin Sina asked immediately with concern.

But after asking the question, she felt a strange sensation.

Because when she asked the question, it wasn't out of her true feelings.

On the contrary, it seemed like the question was asked deliberately to maintain a certain persona.

It wasn't for others to see; it was more like something I did for myself.

Kim Sina examined her inner self and discovered the problem, which made her feel a little panicked.

Others naturally don't know what she's thinking, but she cares a lot about Kim Sina's problems.

"Impossible, what could possibly happen to the city lord?"

Xia Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows.

She didn't believe that the city lord could be controlled by anyone other than Zhang Lin.

"But the problem is, if there's nothing wrong with the city lord, how could this have happened?" Lu Dazhao asked, somewhat frustrated.

The city lord has a much broader vision than Zhang Lin, but she won't let that happen.

Only the people of Hope City participated in the war.

Are the people from other factions sleeping soundly in the safe city of Hope?

Even the city lord wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, it's normal for people to have this guess.

There must be some problem on the city lord's side, otherwise this kind of thing couldn't have happened.

"Don't worry, the city lord will definitely be alright!"

Zhang Lin laughed.

"?"

Everyone was full of questions.

Especially those few people who know Zhang Lin very well.

No, when did you become so magnanimous?

Given your style, shouldn't you, upon seeing the news, immediately disregard the current beast tide and rush back to Hope City to question those forces that didn't participate in the war?

"Alright, that's all for now. You guys keep an eye on the beast tide's movements these next few days. As soon as the opportunity arises, we'll just charge down the mountain."

Zhang Lin didn't have much to say, and he was too lazy to explain the doubts of the crowd.

He didn't actually know what the city lord was thinking.

But he believed that the city lord would not allow such a thing to happen, nor would he be manipulated by the leaders of the various forces to do such a thing.

Therefore, the city lord must have other motives.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

The group dispersed, each carrying a bellyful of questions, and went about their own business.

Time flies by.

For the next few days, the beast horde continued to attack the vanguard on the mountain.

It could be a nighttime raid, or it could be a daytime assault.

The main reason is that the beast tide needs food. Instead of attacking the vanguard, they also need to clear out some extraordinary creatures for food.

It would be better to send them out as cannon fodder, which would also deplete the strength of the vanguard.

That was the Beast King's plan.

It was simultaneously depleting the vanguard's strength while searching for an opportunity.

But just when the Beast King felt he had everything under control and was sure he could take down the vanguard sooner or later, Zhang Lin finally decided to make his move.

"The beast tide's attacks haven't been strong these past few days, which means they haven't taken us seriously. Now, a sudden attack will definitely catch them off guard. Besides, Old Chen's men are also on the other side..."

Zhang Lin gathered everyone together, and without much discussion, he made the decision directly: "Let's do it tonight!"

Night fell.

Zhang Lin led a group of people and secretly made their way down the mountain.

There was no other way; there were too many extraordinary creatures in the beast tide who didn't need to sleep at night, so we had to deal with this part first.

To secretly infiltrate and eliminate these extraordinary beasts without causing a great disturbance requires the work of the most skilled among the skilled.

Zhang Lin is the strongest, so naturally he is the obvious choice.

Accompanying him was Jin Sina, along with twenty or thirty other people, all of whom possessed extraordinary abilities but didn't make a big fuss about it.
