"Sir, there are tens of thousands of strange beasts outside the city attacking Dingbian City. If we don't make a decision early, Dingbian City may not be able to be defended." The city guard who came to report finally found the opportunity and said to Wu Ziyue.
Wu Ziyue's face turned pale when he heard this.
Although he was the only son of the King of Bingjian, his status was unparalleled. Once he inherited the title, his position would even surpass that of the King of Anxi. Unless he committed regicide or treason, even the Emperor would be powerless to stop him. However, he had not yet inherited the title. As the lord of a city, if he lost Dingbian City and caused the deaths of countless innocent people, even his father would be unable to protect him.
After all, the Wu family is not a single-line family. If they had not made any major mistakes, it would be fine. However, after committing such a big mistake, how could the other collateral relatives who had long been eyeing the position of King of the Sides miss this God-given opportunity to take advantage of the situation?
"Kill, kill, kill them for me." Wu Ziyue became more and more uneasy the more he thought about it. He turned his sword and pointed at the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bulls that were rushing towards him and roared hysterically.
Those personal soldiers also knew that the situation was not good, so they didn't care about Mu Hanyan and others. They turned around and rushed towards the group of Burning Sky Blue Flame Bulls.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the warrior covered in black armor collided head-on with the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull that was running towards him.
The dozen or so personal soldiers at the front were thrown out on the spot, but the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull's mad rush was also slowed down.
Unlike lion and tiger-like beasts, the Burning Sky Blue Flame Ox does not have sharp claws and fangs. Its attack power comes not only from the Burning Sky Blue Flame's innate ability, but also from the powerful impact brought by running at full speed.
Now that the bull's frantic running momentum had been assisted, it no longer had any impact force. The sharp horns swayed left and right, but seemed so clumsy that it obviously could not pose any serious threat to the well-trained black-armored guards.
Amidst the roar, the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull spewed out blue flames. However, just as they landed on the black armor, a wave-like light pattern appeared on the armor, and the high temperature did not cause any harm to them.
The formation changed, and hundreds of armored soldiers were like a black iron barrel, trapping the dozen or so Burning Sky Blue Flame Bulls inside, and sharp swords pierced into their bodies from all angles.
Although some personal soldiers were still knocked away by the bull's horns from time to time, thanks to their sturdy armor, this obviously would not cause them any significant damage. Even the first dozen or so personal soldiers who were knocked away were able to return to the battlefield full of energy again after taking the elixir.
Mu Hanyan was secretly shocked. No wonder An Yun's battle with Shang Yue ended in a crushing defeat. Whether it was the armor with amazing defense or the elixir that could quickly restore combat power, An Yun was indeed no match for it.
In just less than a quarter of an hour, all the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bulls were killed, and Wu Ziyue's personal soldiers only suffered minor injuries of a dozen people. Even if the advantage was to defeat the disadvantaged, such a record could be described as brilliant.
"My fellow soldiers, follow me... and kill..." Wu Ziyue was obviously very satisfied with the outcome of the battle. He roared with great heroism, mounted the Red Charcoal Cloud Beast and galloped towards the city gate. The hundreds of personal soldiers also formed a square formation again and followed behind him.
For a moment, Mu Hanyan and others were left alone.
"Miss, what should we do?" Hua Yue asked.
"Let's go and take a look too." Mu Hanyan said after thinking for a while.
Although those Burning Sky Blue Flame Bulls came with great momentum just now, their strength was actually very average, far from being comparable to the violent stone monsters that attacked Hanshan Town last time. She always felt that things would not be that simple.
Along the way, there was widespread grief. Although the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bulls that rushed into the city were slaughtered in less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of civilians still perished under their sharp horns and heavy iron hooves, or were reduced to ashes in the Burning Sky Blue Flame.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and Mu Hanyan's heart was filled with inexplicable sadness.
This was just one attack by strange beasts on the city. Just a dozen strange beasts broke into the city, causing hundreds of families to lose their loved ones. If the seal of the Nine Netherworld was broken, if that catastrophe befell the continent, what kind of hell on earth would it be?
Looking at Wu Ziyue's high-spirited back in front of her, Mu Hanyan felt an indescribable disgust in her heart.
If he hadn't been so greedy, obsessed with his own Hanxiao Sword and the Xuanyang Fengyu Flower on Doctor Sun, and completely disregarded the city guard's words, how could this result have happened? If he had led his personal soldiers to the city gate in time, how could these innocent people have died?
At the city gate, groups of strange beasts were rushing in like a tide. A team of city guards tried their best to stop them, but they were forced to retreat under the impact of the beasts.
Mu Hanyan discovered that although these city guards were also equipped with bright spears and armor and had neat military appearances, neither the sturdiness of their armor nor their own martial arts skills were comparable to Wu Ziyue's personal soldiers.
"Some of Wu Ziyue's personal guards are family-trained warriors, while others are elite soldiers his father has drawn from the border towns. Their equipment is specially crafted by renowned masters. Even the Imperial Guards might not be able to match them." Noticing Mu Hanyan's confusion, Yue Xiuming explained. It wasn't a secret anyway; even if he didn't say it, Mu Hanyan would know it soon.
Mu Hanyan smiled with relief. Yes, if all the troops of Shangyue Kingdom were such elite troops, let alone Anyun Kingdom, I am afraid that all the countries on the mainland would have been wiped out by Shangyue long ago.
"How dare these beasts invade Dingbian City and hurt the people of Dingbian. Soldiers, kill them all." Seeing that the monsters on the opposite side were not very strong, and many of them were not as strong as the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull, Wu Ziyue felt more at ease and gave orders to his personal soldiers.
"Yes, sir!" Hundreds of personal soldiers marched in neat and firm steps, charging into the battlefield like a black torrent.
Even the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull, galloping at full speed, couldn't inflict fatal damage on these elite soldiers clad in heavy black armor, let alone other exotic beasts. Sharp claws slashed across the smooth armor, leaving behind a piercing scream, yet they failed to inflict the slightest damage. Instead, the slightly curved longswords in the hands of the personal guards slashed with each blow, creating a shower of blood, followed by the helpless wail of the exotic beasts before their death.
Hundreds of black-armored elephants advanced forward like an indestructible steel fortress, driving the strange beasts out of the city step by step.
"Hahahaha, with this little strength, they actually dare to come to Dingbian City and seek death. Are these monsters crazy?" Wu Ziyue laughed loudly, and then ordered, "Prepare the horses, kill these monsters thoroughly without leaving any survivors, so that they will remember this lesson forever."
