Chapter 053 Beast Tide 3
Before the people in the imperial capital could finish their thinking, Ankang Town had already taken action.
Inside the town, a group of townspeople came out riding on firebirds, and went straight to the beast's corpse, picking it up and dragging it with their movements as smooth as flowing water.
Not to mention the stunned people in the imperial capital, even the townspeople themselves felt as if they were in a dream.
In the past, they used corpses to defend the city. Today, they avenged their past humiliation and ate the ferocious beasts as barbecue.
What goes around comes around.
Everyone in the Imperial Capital: "...Fuck."
This strange operation will naturally not escape their eyes.
"Everyone in this town is a bunch of crazy people."
"Shouldn't normal townspeople be afraid of a beast tide? Why are these townspeople acting like they've just gotten some great news? Yahuazi is practically grinning from ear to ear."
"Am I the only one who wants to know where they got their turkey? It's so cute."
"That won't work! When the beasts see the city gates wide open, they'll think food is within reach and go berserk!"
"I agree. It's not like anyone has tried to take advantage of a bargain before, but what were the results? Really, it's best not to take advantage of some bargains, otherwise you'll only end up getting yourself into trouble."
“…”
Many people were expressing their opinions when someone nearby shouted:
"Stop talking! Ankang Town has moved out the food!"
Everyone turned their attention back to Ankang Town.
Many townspeople were seen lazily running out carrying bags of grain, piling them outside the wide-open city gate. Everyone was puzzled by this action:
"Is Ankang Town planning to surrender to the beast?"
"I'm guessing it was poison? Impossible! Wild animals have a well-developed sense of smell and can quickly identify any poison. This is common sense!"
"Oh, it's really a small town, they don't know anything. The beasts are extremely hungry for food and will go crazy when they see food!"
"Something's wrong, something's wrong with this town!"
In contrast to the anxious and shocked onlookers, the residents of Ankang Town were calm as water and went about their business. One after another, they ran out and piled up the food bags so high that they reached the clouds, like a thick castle, serving as a gate.
After the process was completed, the guards, with the cooperation of the militia on the city wall, ran back to the town, took out their bows and arrows and began to act as archers.
Everyone in the imperial capital:?
Lin Muqiu, who was in charge of the overall situation, raised his lips and acted as an introduction, "Oh, in the past, there were few guards in the town, so everyone knew a little bit about each profession."
Everyone: "..." This tone is really asking for a beating
If they could still understand why the city gates were wide open, they were completely confused at this moment and could only stare at the screen with their eyes motionless.
Not to mention them, even the beasts were confused for a long time.
They were panting heavily, and although they were puzzled, they could not suppress the greed in their eyes. Their physiological instincts made it impossible for them to resist the temptation of food, and even their sticky saliva flowed down.
roar!
Their muscles swelled rapidly with blood, and they instinctively dived forward. When they smelled the food and found it was non-toxic, they took a big bite.
Then, a familiar electric current pierced their minds.
They are numb.
Literally.
Taking advantage of the two or three seconds when the beasts were twitching and stiff, the archers shot out long arrows, a rain of arrows that swallowed them directly into the sea of arrows, giving them no chance to react.
The beasts in the back row will only keep pushing forward because of their blind spots and their frenzy. If they are forced to push forward until the beasts in the front row eat or bite the food, they will be shocked by the electric current, forming a vicious cycle.
What's worse, it directly caused a beast-style stampede.
The enemy surrendered without fighting, a trend that no one in the imperial capital had expected.
"What's going on?"
"What's in this town's food?! Why do the beasts seem to have been electrocuted?!"
"Did Ankang Town put an electrified magic stone in the food? These beasts can't smell it. How clever!"
"Yes, I even suspect that the beasts' weakness is their thirst for food. When in a frenzy, their hunger will cause them to let down their guard!"
"Oh my god! Ankang Town is too powerful! We didn't even dare to try it! Ankang Town is risking its life!"
"Even if they did, what would they do? Wild beasts can learn to think! Right now, the beasts haven't reacted. I want to see how Ankang Town can respond later!"
Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, as if they were involved in the matter and each of them was Zhuge Liang.
Only Nicole thought for a long time, slapped her thigh, and suddenly understood: "It's the seed lock!"
She never thought that grain had similar functions to seeds and could also be used against wild beasts.
This wave is really a fishing enforcement:
The food belongs to Lin Muqiu. How can it not be considered stealing if the wild beast took it without telling him?
Faced with everyone's questions, Nicole was extremely excited and promoted Ankang Town for free like a little fan girl.
The residents of Ankang Town, who were attracting much attention, were shooting arrows at a leisurely pace. Lin Muqiu, who was eating skewers nearby, was giving instructions in a leisurely manner: "Come on, everyone! Shoot more and you'll earn more money!"
Everyone in the Imperial Capital: "..." Listen, is this even human language?!
What made them even more frustrated was that the guards and militiamen who had been relieved seemed to be on vacation, eating barbecue and gulping down juice, looking very comfortable.
In contrast, everyone in the imperial capital was completely jealous. They stared at Ankang Town dimly, unable to describe the feeling in their hearts.
Seeing the beast corpses piling up more and more, and the grain bags being bitten to pieces, everyone felt something in their hearts. Just as they were about to look for something different, they saw that the city gate had opened again.
Augustine and Kedero led the guards out of the city gate. This time, Yun Yi took them to teleport, and used the same trick again to pull the battle line to the front.
The townspeople scored twice and continued to happily pick up corpses.
Everyone in the Imperial Capital: "..." Is this fair?!
After several times, everyone in the imperial capital was completely numb, and the beasts finally realized something. They bared their teeth, took two steps back, and confronted the guards of Ankang Town.
For a moment, neither side moved.
Everyone in the imperial capital was completely excited:
"Let's take a gamble! I bet the beast will break into the city!"
“Charge!!!”
"That's not a good idea. After all, Ankang Town is still part of the mainland. How can you let them fall into such a pit..."
“Charge…Ankang Town!!!”
"...Fickle man, didn't you cheer for the Imperial Capital before?"
Just as everyone in the imperial capital was getting excited and speculating whether the beasts would bypass the food and attack the city from the side, or retaliate and counterattack, they found that things did not go in any of the directions they had imagined.
Is there something wrong with the direction the beast is running?
What does it mean to run in the opposite direction of Ankang Town?!
Everyone in the imperial capital was numb, completely numb. They could only watch helplessly as the larger, more intelligent beasts, such as wild boars and porcupines, ran away, leaving only some less intelligent creatures, such as rabbits, squirrels and other beasts still charging forward.
Even the townspeople of Ankang Town blinked and didn't react.
Augustine, however, rode on the Firebird and pointed his sword at Xuanyuan, "What are you standing there for? Charge!"
The townspeople reacted by mounting their turkeys and killing people indiscriminately.
The scene was in complete chaos.
Even if the people in the imperial capital were unwilling to be slapped in the face, they had to admit at this moment that Ankang Town had successfully receded the tide.
For the first time in history, at an extremely fast speed and with the highest completeness.
Lin Muqiu, however, raised an eyebrow. While combing the fur of his dragon cub, he kindly explained, "It's because the beasts are too clever. For social animals like them, not being able to bring back the bodies of their companions is already difficult enough. The most important thing is that even if they break through the city, there's no guarantee that the food inside is edible. So, after weighing the pros and cons, they naturally think it's better to run away."
Everyone: "..." Are you sure it wasn't the dragon's intimidation that contributed to this?
Before everyone could finish being shocked, Lin Muqiu waved his hand and placed the magic shield around them.
The large beast was about to escape but was blocked:!
Everyone in the imperial capital:?
Are you okay? Are you okay? Other mages cast Beast Tide spells to protect themselves, but this one, on the other hand, is actually doing it to prevent the beast from escaping!
Lin Muqiu wiped his sweat, his expression calm. "We'll try to capture them alive if we can. Now that everyone's exhausted, let's pack up."
It was an understatement, as if it was just an ordinary remark.
This was an unusual day for everyone.
Compared to the trance of the people in the imperial capital, the people in Ankang Town had red eyes and were silent for a long time without saying a word.
Distant memories flooded back.
In Chloe's generation, the beast tide arrived early. In order to drive out the tide, both young and middle-aged men and women took on the beasts. In the end, except for pregnant women and minors, all those who could take on the beasts took on the beasts, and almost all of them were killed, resulting in today's male to female ratio of 4:6.
At that time, there was no trace of Clouet's body left. They picked up the skins of wild animals and put them in her coffin, and observed a moment of silence for her. However, they were ridiculed by other townspeople, who said that they were as useless as Lord Clouet, and could not even protect their territory, yet they had the nerve to commemorate Clouet as a hero.
But now, Ankang Town has succeeded and no one died.
They proved themselves with practical actions and protected their territory and their dignity.
But...if possible, they wouldn't even want to become famous, they just want their lord and family back.
They are also human beings and have feelings.
Everyone was secretly wiping away their tears when Kedero suddenly shouted, "Go count the votes for the Lord's election!"
Everyone was startled and realized what had happened.
Yun Yi was the first to react, and in an instant, he took the sealed box containing the ticket stubs.
Kedero opened the seal and then announced the result using the Lord System. Lin Muqiu defeated the great wizard Otto Hunter with a ratio of 99:1.
The Lord System will not lie.
No one was surprised by this result.
After all, Otto Hunt had secretly planted spies.
Kedero was the first to kneel down and shouted, "The 12th Lord Kedero has fulfilled his mission and respectfully welcomes the 13th Lord Lin Muqiu to accept the mandate from Heaven and become the new generation of Lord!"
Yun Yi was the first to kneel, "I am willing to be loyal to the Lord!"
The guards suddenly woke up from their dream and reacted, shouting, "Lord, your majesty is wise! We are willing to serve you!"
The townspeople present also knelt down and said, "We are willing to serve the Lord!"
Shouts that almost shook the earth and sky filled the entire town, and the crazy and passionate fire finally swept across the entire village.
Even the people in the imperial capital were in an uproar. The influence exploded like a bomb, triggering their crazy discussion.
For the first time, they saw the possibility of a perfect ebb tide, and for the first time, from the perspective of a small, broken town, they understood that loyalty and faith were not unique to the imperial capital.
Ankang Town, the lord system, training level, equipment, strategy, even if it is a little bit less, may not have created today's success.
Lin Muqiu, standing on the city wall, dressed in white, smiling as usual, reached out to help Kedero and the others up, "Everyone, please stand up!"
At the same time, the screen in the imperial capital began to sizzle, and a faint multicolored vertical pattern appeared, with a line of small words appearing on it:
[To know what happens next, please pay me 50 copper coins to watch it in detail.]
Everyone in the imperial capital:?
