"Wang Han, are you telling the truth?" After the vice dean and the others left in a hurry, Amy couldn't help but ask Wang Han.
“Of course it’s true.” Wang Han nodded and said with certainty, “There are indeed a lot of magical beasts coming this way from the depths of the magical beast forest. According to their current direction of travel, they will pass through the town of Gru if they don’t change their path.”
"How did you know?" Angie asked curiously. How did Wang Han know, and how was he so sure? On the way back, they didn't see Wang Han send out any reconnaissance summons to scout deep into the Monster Forest.
“I have my own way of finding out,” Wang Han said. “I can confirm that a large number of magical beasts from the depths of the Magical Beast Forest are heading this way, but I don’t know why.”
"Wang Han, since you discovered the situation beforehand, why didn't you tell everyone?" Amy asked, voicing her doubts. Everyone else looked at Wang Han, equally puzzled. If Wang Han had already discovered it, why didn't he tell everyone? He continued to lead them leisurely out of the Monster Forest without any panic, fear, or even a sense of urgency.
“I only discovered it when we left the Monster Forest,” Wang Han said, shaking his head. “At that time, we were almost out of the Monster Forest and could have easily entered the town before the monsters arrived, so I didn’t say anything.”
"So you only discovered it recently too." Amy nodded, no longer dwelling on the issue, and not daring to blame Wang Han.
——————————————————
Shortly after Wang Han and his group entered the town, the sun had completely set.
"Rumble..." A rumbling sound came from the direction of the Monster Forest. The earth began to tremble slightly, caused by the movement of countless monsters.
In the sky, summoners riding flying magical beasts swiftly swept across the town, shouting loudly to the people hurriedly preparing below: "Beast Tide..."
"Quick, get to the city wall!" As the shouts echoed through the sky, the soldiers and mercenaries guarding the town immediately surged toward the city wall.
"Get the crossbows ready! All archers, get ready!" the general guarding the town shouted, urging the final defensive preparations.
"Teacher..." The students, as prospective citizens, were just as nervous. During a monster siege, very few survived. Each siege was a blood-soaked tragedy, but they had no choice but to fight back with all their might. Not only were they no match for the monsters, but the state also decreed that anyone who left without orders during a monster siege was considered an escapee, a capital offense, unforgivable. Once the monsters breached the city, the resulting disaster and casualties would only be more severe and troublesome, potentially leading to even more serious monster attacks on human cities.
In the small town.
"Wang Han, I know you are very strong, much stronger than me. I knew that from the fact that you could still laugh and talk even after knowing about the monster riots. I don't ask you to protect these students, I only ask that you do your best to help the town resist the monsters." The vice-principal came up to Wang Han and made a sincere request. After speaking, he bowed deeply to Wang Han.
"Wang Han, please protect the town." Amy and the female warrior also stood up and bowed to Wang Han.
“Wang Han.” Anqi looked at Wang Han expectantly.
"Tch, what a nuisance. But I don't have the habit of running away from trouble," Wang Han scoffed, but still headed towards the city wall. He also needed to collect materials on magical beasts. As for the vice-dean and teachers, they would stay behind to coordinate and direct the students' battles.
——————————————
After climbing the city wall, Wang Han saw billowing dust rising from the direction of the Monster Forest. Countless monsters of varying sizes were charging madly towards the town, herbivores and hunters all mixed together. Countless pairs of eyes of various colors shone like countless stars in the night; his initial estimate was that their numbers were no less than 300,000, and they were already not far from the town. However, these monsters on Wang Han's radar were only the first batch; many more were gathering in the Monster Forest.
"Gulp..." On the city wall, the soldiers and mercenaries, looking at the starry sky in the distance, were swallowing hard, their hands gripping their weapons trembling.
Some soldiers and mercenaries were borrowing paper and pens from each other, writing their wills by the light of torches, though they didn't know if their wills would be left behind after the war.
"May the fire god protect us, may the gods protect us, may the water god protect us..." Many magicians and warriors were praying to the gods they believed in.
Upon seeing Wang Han standing on the city wall, a soldier shouted at him, "Are you a student? I've seen you in the student ranks before. Get down here! You're in charge of the reserves. It's not your turn to come up before we're all dead."
Wang Han glanced at the soldier who had reprimanded him, but was not angry at the soldier's reprimand. He smiled and said to the soldier, "Just for those words, I'll spare your life."
"What are you saying? Kid, my life doesn't need a greenhorn like you to protect me." The soldier snapped, "Get down here."
"I forgot to add, I'm not a student, and being here is much more advantageous than being in the rear." Wang Han smiled and waved his hand, opening a five-meter-wide divine power space channel above his head.
"Buzz..." A noisy flapping sound arose, and countless fireflies, each the size of a basketball and emitting a blinding glow from their tails, flew out from the divine power exit opened by Wang Han. They quickly flew along the city wall to a height of tens of meters above it, gradually illuminating the entire wall and making it visible even hundreds of meters below.
