The next chapter will explain the monster levels.
"Roar..." From the distant Monster Forest, a huge tiger's roar came again.
More mid- to high-level magical beasts began to mingle with the charging horde. Below the city walls, the beasts advanced even faster. The earthen walls and mounds that had hindered their advance were easily destroyed by the mid- to high-level magical beasts. Their counterattacks against the humans on the walls became more ferocious, with more mid- to high-level spells hitting the walls. The shields of the water mages responsible for maintaining order were frequently shattered. Coupled with the harassment from flying magical beasts in the sky, casualties on the walls increased dramatically. The healing mages also began to busy themselves.
......
As time went on, the beast tide reached the city walls, and the area beneath them was covered with thick layers of monster corpses. Some monsters with climbing abilities began to scale the walls through the holes created by magic, while more monsters began to use magic to destroy the walls.
The melee fighters had already taken up their weapons, formed ranks on the city wall, and were ready for battle.
"Brother, you're a summoner, step back," Eliza said to Wang Han, and she and a dozen warriors focused on protecting Wang Han.
“…” Wang Han shook his head, stepped forward, and said, “I already said that I am the one who will protect your life, so why do I need you to protect me?”
Having said that, Wang Han stopped watching and waved his hand to open a passage in the Divine Might Space. He directly summoned a beehive five meters in diameter and ten meters high, which he placed on the city wall.
"Buzz buzz buzz..." The sound of bees vibrating their wings rang out, and countless bullet bees flew out of the hive. The queen bee, about the size of a fist, flew to Wang Han's shoulder and gently landed.
Wang Han stroked the queen bee perched on his shoulder and said confidently to Elizabeth, "These low-level magic items are fine for them."
After saying that, Wang Han patted the queen bee on his shoulder and said, "Queen Bee, tell your people to destroy the monsters below."
Upon receiving Wang Han's command, the queen bee immediately flew back to the hive from Wang Han's shoulder.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." In the next moment, the bullet bees that flew out of the hive transformed into streaks of yellow and black light and shot out.
"Pfft pfft pfft..." Under the astonished gazes of everyone on the city wall, blood splattered everywhere. Before the warriors could even make a move, the monsters that had climbed up the city wall had bloody holes in their heads and fell off the wall.
Beneath the city walls, the relentlessly charging beast tide fell like wheat being harvested. Only a few high-level magical beasts, with their thick hides or enormous sizes, managed to hold on, but even they were riddled with bloody holes, bleeding profusely and suffering extreme pain. In the sky, the flying magical beasts that had already caused considerable casualties among humans plummeted down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Everyone stared blankly at this sudden scene. Many people had no idea what was happening, as they couldn't even see the bullet bees moving.
"It's a Mushi Master, a Super-Rank Mushi Master! That's great!" The general on the city gate tower exclaimed with delight as he watched the bee phantoms constantly passing through the bodies of magical beasts. Perhaps this time there was hope.
"You are... an Insect Master?" Eliza looked at Wang Han, utterly shocked. She never expected that the person beside her would be a powerful Insect Master, a terrifying profession capable of going toe-to-toe with a necromancer. (An Insect Master is a summoner who raises insect-type magical beasts. The fireflies were initially mistaken for magical beasts by Amy and the others because the protagonist could summon large magical beasts from the beginning. Insect-type summons and ordinary summons cannot coexist in the same summoning space because insect-type magical beasts have low intelligence and will treat other summons as food. Therefore, the two professions cannot coexist.)
Seeing the monsters falling like wheat being harvested below the city walls, the soldiers and mercenaries on the ramparts breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, news of the powerful insect master's intervention to aid in the defense spread throughout the city and along the walls, finally giving everyone confidence in holding the town. The insects controlled by a single high-level insect master were no less formidable than a horde of beasts.
"Roar..." The enormous tiger's roar rang out again. The magical beasts that had been charging towards the town immediately turned around and began to retreat rapidly.
"The beast tide has receded!" The endless beast tide began to recede, and the soldiers on the city wall cheered excitedly. Many people breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
"Great, the beast tide has finally receded," Eliza said happily. "Brother, thank you. I thought I was going to die this time."
“I told you, I’ll protect your life. I’m still waiting for you to treat me to meat and wine.” Wang Han said with a smile, “But you’re too happy now. These magical beasts haven’t given up yet. The magical beast that commanded the beast tide made the tide recede just to prevent the low-level magical beasts from sacrificing themselves meaninglessly.”
"What?" Elizabeth was stunned upon hearing this.
"It's a 10th-tier tusked beast pack!" A terrified shout suddenly rang out from the city wall, and the ground began to shake again.
Hearing the sound, the soldiers and mercenaries on the city wall quickly looked towards the distance. They saw dozens more enormous magical beasts charging out from the retreating horde. These beasts were all over fifteen meters tall, like mammoths, with long, curved tusks. With each charge, the ground trembled. They were all enveloped in a thick yellow aura, which the bullet bees had no effect on. These charging, tusked beasts swung their long trunks, spewing yellow mist around them. Bullet bees that flew around them instantly turned to stone and fell to the ground upon contact with the yellow mist.
"Fire Dragon Spear"
"The earth is being squeezed."
"Super Wind Blade".
High-ranking mages and archers stepped forward, unleashing a barrage of advanced spells at the charging tusked beast.
"Bring your people back!" Wang Han instructed the Bee Queen.
Upon receiving Wang Han's order, the Queen Bee immediately sent a signal, and the bullet bees flew back to the hive, cleaning each other of the bloodstains.
"What should we do?" Everyone around Wang Han looked at him, hoping he had another solution.
A sudden, deafening crash echoed through the town. Several pangolin-like magical beasts, each twenty meters long, appeared behind the city walls. Countless other magical beasts burst forth from their burrows, rushing towards the town's outskirts. Several burrowing beasts even charged at the city walls, tearing and shredding them like tofu under their sharp claws.
"It's a tenth-tier magical beast, an earth-burrowing beast!" The shouts rang out again. "The magical beast has already invaded the town."
"I see, they're quite intelligent, knowing how to use a feint." Wang Han thought, stroking his chin. Whether it was the charge of the beast tide or the long-toothed beasts behind it, the earth trembled constantly as they moved, masking the commotion underground.
"It's over." Many people were filled with despair as they watched the monsters pouring into the town from the underground passages.
"What should we do?" The mercenaries and soldiers around Wang Han looked at him expectantly, hoping that he had a way to solve the problem and turn the tide once again.
