Under the lights, there were countless birds and beasts, as well as mutated new species with the size of Titans, and even holy beasts with intelligence no less than that of humans.
"quiet!"
A dignified man stood atop the highest point of the city wall. The panicked crowd looked up and saw him, and their composure subsided considerably. He was Yuwen Xin, the former strongest man in Camp Nine. However, after Camp Nine was destroyed, he led the remaining members to join Camp Three, forming Camp Three-Nine.
Although Yuwen Xin has long lost his former glory at Camp Nine, his prestige remains high.
"My lords, the beast tide is closing in, and we have no way out! Now, only a desperate fight can save us, and save humanity!" Yuwen Xin pointed to the beast tide outside the city walls and said with indignation, "Some of you have escaped from Camp Nine with me. You must know what defeat means! Your homes were destroyed, your compatriots were killed. The fear you felt then became a stain that will haunt you for the rest of your lives, and so did I, Yuwen Xin!"
"I hate my own incompetence for abandoning hundreds of thousands of people and retreating!"
Yuwen Xin lowered his head as he said this, "Perhaps we can still retreat today, perhaps we can still eke out a living!"
At this point, Yuwen Xin raised his face and laughed arrogantly, his eyes regaining their brilliance. "But can we retreat? Can we watch the old, young, women, and children behind us perish in the jaws of beasts? Can we watch our homes be destroyed and everyone be displaced?"
"No!" Yuwen Xin chuckled as he answered his own question, "We can't! We can't let Camp 39 repeat the same mistakes and become a living hell like Camp 9!"
"war!"
It's unclear who shouted first, but soon more and more battle cries converged into a deafening sound that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"His soul departed from his hometown, his blood staining the mountains and rivers red!"
Yuwen Xin drew his weapon, threw his head back, and laughed loudly. He stepped onto the city wall and shouted, "Brothers, I'll lead the way!"
"kill!"
Yuwen Xin jumped off the 30-meter-high city wall.
"All strength-based units, follow our leader, Brother Yuwen, and charge!"
Dozens of ropes appeared on the city wall, and people with superhuman strength grabbed the ropes and fell down.
"Psionic Array Attack! Attack any monster that comes within 100 meters of the city wall!"
"Soul Energy-based support and control! Create opportunities for Strength-based characters to kill monsters!"
One by one, people radiating energy took to the field. This was a well-trained "people's" army. Fourteen days ago, they might have been students, clerks, or workers—ordinary people who had never fought or been violent before. But now, they all took up arms to resist the terrifying monster.
Death was their best teacher!
"Aoki Gang, go down and kill the enemy!"
With a loud roar from Song Xiangming, the once roguish members of the Green Wood Gang suddenly became energetic, grabbed their weapons, and dashed off to their deaths.
Although they are thugs, they still have families and people they want to protect.
Just as Yuwen Xin said, even though their souls died in their hometown, they still yearned for the heavens. Even if their blood stained the mountains and rivers, leaving them red everywhere, they would be content to die here!
"Jiang Yuan, it was really wise of you not to come!"
Leng Yue had been waiting on the city wall for a long time. She had witnessed the successive falls of the defenses of the Sanjiu Camp, and she had already made a judgment on the situation of the battle.
We can't hold on!
The 39th Camp cannot be defended!
It wasn't just the beast tide that caused it, but also the lack of support from the humans themselves!
The elites of Refugee Camp No. 3 were already preparing to retreat before the battle even began. Their approach was similar to that of Refugee Camp No. 9: they abandoned some people to become bait for the beast tide, and then escaped in the chaos.
"Siyin, protect yourself, I'm going down to kill the monsters!" Leng Yue turned around and handed Lin Siyin a dagger, the sixth-tier Deadly Blade that Jiang Yuan had given her.
"Sister Leng Yue, why are you so good to me?" Lin Siyin suddenly grabbed Leng Yue's hand. She had perished in the first wave of beast attacks, but luckily Leng Yue found her and protected her all the way, which allowed her to survive to the end.
"Is that alright?" Leng Yue smiled faintly. "Perhaps, it's because you're very brave!"
Leng Yue knew the answer. Lin Siyin was in the same boat as her, and the two shared the same plight. It was because of this that she took extra care of this poor girl.
"Sister Lengyue, you are very brave too!" Lin Siyin smiled sincerely.
Leng Yue smiled and instructed, "If things go wrong later, go back to your aunt. Remember to stay close to your two older brothers and sisters. Only then will you have a chance to survive!"
Before Lin Siyin could reply, Leng Yue had already leaped off the city wall without any rope.
"Lightning Mark!"
At the midpoint of her descent, Leng Yue activated the lightning mark. A flash appeared between her brows, and her speed began to increase dramatically. She pushed off the city wall, and like an arrow released from a bow, she charged towards the nearest seventh-tier monster.
"What is that? It's so fast!"
Someone spotted Leng Yue, and a glint seemed to flash in their eyes. Their target was the particularly ferocious seventh-tier mountain monkeys in the beast tide. These were a type of monster near the third camp. Before their spirits were awakened, they were a group of extremely unruly monkeys. After their spirits were awakened, their malice towards humans became even stronger, and they were the monsters that loved to kill humans the most.
"They are the strongest in our camp!"
Someone saw Leng Yue jump off the city wall, so they recognized her at that moment.
"This person is incredibly strong; he actually challenged and killed a seventh-tier monster directly!"
Several soul energy users with keen senses spotted Leng Yue's target, but that's precisely why they were surprised. The seventh-tier monsters in the beast tide were incredibly powerful. If it were just ordinary spirit awakeners like them dealing with a seventh-tier monster, they would have to rely on teamwork to kill it.
