At this moment, the guards inside the city walls kept their eyes fixed on the situation outside the city.
However, they focused all their vigilance on the forest.
The races in the city could never have imagined that the Zerg would launch their attack from underground.
With Zhao Zian's divine power providing cover, the Zerg army remained undetected underground.
The underground tunnels dug by the Zerg are more than 100 meters underground.
In addition, Zhao Zian's divine power enveloped the entire Zerg army.
Even a powerful expert like the City Lord of Forest City, who was at the late Platinum level, couldn't detect the activity underground.
At this point, the Forest City Lord had already used several communication scrolls made by mages.
I sent notifications to some of my friends.
Two of his former friends happened to be free and decided to come to Forest City to help him.
If all your worries are just overthinking, then that's good; your two old friends can come and get together with you.
If it's true that the monsters in the forest are planning to unite and cause trouble, then as the lord of Forest City, I can better defend against these magical beasts.
The Forest City Lord's two old friends, one of whom is the retired paladin Caesar.
He is hailed as the strongest paladin in the church in a hundred years!
Wings of Holy Light, Xize.
Another one is an old friend who started the adventure team with him when he was still very weak.
However, by this time, his old friend had become a powerful figure who was renowned throughout the world.
Adam, the dragon slayer.
At the time, their own adventure team was unknown, but they eventually became famous by killing a young dragon.
Adult pure-blooded dragons are at least diamond-level.
Few people have actually managed to kill this terrifying behemoth.
However, even the younger dragon cubs are treasures in themselves.
And as long as the dragon race is killed, no one cares whether the dragon is an adult or a juvenile.
The title of dragon slayer will always be associated with this adventurer.
Therefore, various young dragons and baby dragons have become the targets that adventurers or mercenaries vie to find and hunt.
"With these two old guys here, the situation in Forest City should be stabilized. But even so, why does the unease in my heart still not dissipate?"
The city lord of Forest City stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance at the forest, his brows furrowed in a persistent frown.
He is the strongest being before the forest and the guardian of this city.
They patrolled around the city, constantly on guard against the movements of the monsters in the forest.
However, the forest was unexpectedly quiet, and there seemed to be far fewer wild animals than usual, posing no danger whatsoever.
However, at that very moment, some people in the city felt a slight tremor.
It was as if a minor earthquake had occurred.
At first, people didn't pay much attention and thought it was just their imagination.
As the tremors grew stronger, the mercenaries drinking and chatting in the tavern noticed that the wine glasses on the table were starting to vibrate incessantly.
The wine in the glass rippled and even spilled out.
Pedestrians walking on the roadside gradually noticed that the previously faint tremors had now caused them to lose their balance and were unable to walk normally.
Cracks have appeared in the city streets, and the roads that were originally paved with stone slabs are gradually crumbling...
boom!
A loud sound suddenly rang out.
Suddenly, a large pit appeared in the street, and several boar-like orcs who were walking on the pit fell into it.
"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"
"The ground has completely collapsed?"
"Could it be a monster invasion?"
"Never mind that for now, let's go save them. That crater looks pretty big; it would be terrible if they got hurt!"
Nearby pedestrians discussed it, and a few kind-hearted humans even planned to help the boar-man who had fallen into the pit.
However, as they approached the pit, they heard some chilling sounds.
That was the crunching sound of flesh being gnawed on and bones being crushed.
A large number of Zerglings tore the two boar-orcs who had fallen into the cave into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the two orcs had vanished.
The strong smell of blood and the scattered pieces of flesh greatly increased the Zerg's killing intent.
Swarms of insectoids crawled out of the hole, while the two kind-hearted humans were stunned into silence.
"A monster...a monster!"
"Insects! Damn insect monsters!"
"ah……!"
As the mandibles of the two soldier ants snapped shut, the two humans were decapitated and swallowed up by the swarm of insectoid ants.
Meanwhile, similar situations have gradually emerged in other places as well.
On the street, in the center of the square.
A large crater also appeared inside the tavern where adventurers and mercenaries gathered.
Even in the homes of some city residents...
The Zerg have dug underground tunnels throughout Forest City, and large numbers of Zerg have emerged from these tunnels.
A large number of undead creatures exuding death energy also rushed towards these life-bearing beings.
In an instant, all the races in the city were stunned by the Zerg army.
The other races, caught completely off guard, were caught off guard by the Zerg.
Furthermore, many orcs, dwarves, and humans in the city are just ordinary residents who do not hold a certain rank.
Only mercenaries or adventurers reach the Black Iron or Bronze level.
Those who reach the silver or even gold level are extremely rare.
The Zerg have all surpassed the Iron rank, and their numbers have reached tens of millions.
With such a vast number, there are countless bronze, silver, and even gold-level powerhouses.
In an instant, the forest city was littered with corpses, and a large number of creatures were killed.
Furthermore, the city's residents who die are transformed into undead creatures by the concentrated death energy, thus joining the Zerg's ranks.
In some taverns, dozens of adventurers and mercenaries sat drinking and chatting.
Previously, both adventurers and mercenaries possessed extraordinary strength.
When the Zerg underground tunnels reached the tavern, the adventurers and mercenaries were overwhelmed by the terrifying swarm tactics of the endless Zerg army.
Even for the very few powerful individuals, ordinary Zerg cannot cause them much harm.
However, the Zerg also have a large number of high-end combatants, and no matter how powerful they are, they cannot withstand the siege of more than a dozen Zerg Platinum-level powerhouses.
In the city, those who reach the Gold level are already considered masters.
However, even they could not escape death when faced with the terrifying Zerg.
However, the Zerg soon encountered resistance.
The lord of Forest City has returned.
Furthermore, the Forest City Lord is not the only Platinum-level expert in this city.
The chief instructor of the city's defense forces is also one of the strongest figures in the kingdom.
And the city lord's deputy who usually doesn't get involved in much work.
This position is equivalent to that of a deputy city lord.
Both of them possess platinum-level combat power.
