If Bastian's information was accurate, he did know that the beast tide was about to arrive near Victor City.
To say that his information was inaccurate, he did indeed misjudge the timing of the arrival of the beast tide.
Not after a while, but immediately.
After Jiang Wuyuan and the northern reconnaissance team were dispatched, Bastian certainly didn't have the malicious intention of causing the northern reconnaissance team to perish along with them.
So after an hour or two, he immediately went to find Cheng Ruohai and subtly conveyed the truth—for example, the beast tide from the north was approaching.
Cheng Ruohai didn't have time to settle scores with him; he immediately notified the reconnaissance captain in the north to return as soon as possible.
However, before she could contact Jiang Wuyuan, who was alone, the roar of the beast tide seemed to be right next to her ear.
The situation is more serious than anyone imagined.
Victor City's strategic facilities are outdated; it lacks large-scale defensive formations, walls made of the strongest materials, and the most advanced weapons of war.
The north gate, which looked as if it were pieced together from wood scraps, seemed about to be easily trampled down.
This is the disadvantage of fighting in other countries that Cheng Ruohai mentioned earlier.
There was a lot of information she didn't know, and even the people of the Hestan Empire hadn't mentioned it to her.
Most importantly, the beast tide arrived too early, catching her completely off guard.
And most importantly, since the people at the Heistan Empire headquarters knew that the beast tide was about to attack Victor City, they actually entrusted the city to her, a newly arrived lieutenant general from another country, to guard it.
Is this really not a joke?
Cheng Ruohai was filled with rage.
Therefore, it was not without reason that the borders of the Hestan Empire were breached.
William Windsor was a good king, but his greatest skill was the art of checks and balances in politics.
When it comes to fighting, ten William Windsors probably couldn't match one Sethmond.
Unfortunately, Sethmond was clearly not a wise leader either.
Having strong personal abilities does not necessarily mean having the ability to command troops.
Sethmond appears to be very intelligent, but after spending a long time with William, he has gradually been assimilated into a power-conscious next ruler.
He's not good at fighting either.
However, even though Cheng Ruohai had many questions he wanted to ask, he couldn't find an opportunity to voice them.
At least hold Victor City first—that's more important than anything else.
Liu Can and the others immediately followed the main force to the north of the city.
The horde of monstrous beasts was coming on strong, and Liu Can led his men to meet them head-on.
Qiu Shaoqing stood at the back of the group, waving his staff incessantly.
He barely grasped the threshold of spatial intent. Moreover, spatial attacks are inherently powerful; a simple technique that tears through space can instantly sever the head of a low-level alien beast.
Before the north city wall, blood sprayed everywhere, and the light of skills rose and fell.
The once pristine white snowfield was instantly transformed into a tapestry of vibrant colors.
Cheng Ruohai flew high in the sky and immediately engaged in battle with the seventh-tier alien race opposite him.
A violent ripple spread out, pushing aside layer after layer of snow-covered clouds.
After a long absence, the people of Victor City saw the sunlight again.
All the residents who had not evacuated gathered in the streets.
They cannot intervene in the battle because they lack the power to do so.
They could only stand there and pray, praying that the warriors standing in front of them would defend the city and return safely.
——
Jiang Wuyuan, sword in hand, blocked the path of the three peak fifth-tier alien races.
"Human, how dare you come here to die alone!" The alien creature with six pairs of eyes on its face, standing in the center, opened its blood-red maw. "Kill him!"
The three alien creatures moved together.
A magic circle pattern suddenly lit up beneath their feet, spreading a dark aura, and inky patterns simultaneously appeared on the faces of the three alien races.
A piercing thorn that pierces the heavens for eternity!
Buzz—
A massive vortex, formed by the combined forces of different races, gradually solidified as it soared into the sky.
The attack, imbued with endless dark energy, eventually formed a hundred-meter-long giant spike piercing the sky, pointing directly at Jiang Wuyuan.
This strike was comparable to that of a grandmaster.
However, Jiang Wuyuan was not afraid at all and stood up to meet him.
The ultimate swordsmanship!
Chant—
The moment the sword rang out, a sound as if from another world reached the ears of all living beings.
In an instant, everyone paused.
The ever-flowing waves of sword energy continued to devour the figures of low-level alien beasts.
Ahead of the sword wave, golden sword light pierced through layers of obstacles, crashing into the terrifying Sky-Piercing Thorn like a meteor.
clang!
A loud bang.
Looking at the massive black object so close at hand, Jiang Wuyuan remained calm, gripping the Devouring Star with slight force.
Click!
The giant spike shattered suddenly, and although the power of the sword-drawing technique was also completely dissipated, Jiang Wuyuan was already prepared to launch the next attack.
The third step of snow burial – Frost descends!
In the existing icy and snowy landscape, the power of snow burial is amplified.
A massive vortex of ice and snow condensed at the tip of the Star Devouring Sword.
This blow landed squarely on the face of the six-eyed alien race.
Without a single cry of pain, the six-eyed alien's body was sent flying by the immense force, its head even exploding into dust under the attack.
The magic array of the three alien races cannot be stable without one of them.
The remaining two alien races were quickly wiped out by Jiang Wuyuan.
On this snowy land hundreds of miles from Victor City, countless monster corpses lay on the ground.
