"That's right. We know there is a problem, but we can't find it. Every time the beast tide ends, the killed soul beasts will be dragged back to the Sunset Forest by the living soul beasts, and we can't get the corpses for research." Matt continued.
"Then let's wait until those soul beasts come again and observe them again." Mu Xuhui said with narrowed eyes. He knew what Zhao Xin meant. This beast tide was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
After the meeting, General Matt needed to rush back to Yuhui Town to defend it, so Mu Xuhui and Zhao Xin urgently summoned the Shrek students.
A total of one hundred and fifty people stood neatly in an open space in the military camp, and the ordinary soldiers around them cast envious glances at them.
Mu Xuhui said loudly: "Now we need fifty people to go to Yuhui City with General Matt to fight. I will assign them directly and you must obey orders. Dai Yuheng, Chen Zifeng, Meng Qingjia, the three of you will lead forty-seven students to Yuhui City. This is the list. The remaining one hundred people will stay in Sunset City and obey the command of Zhao Xin and me."
The personnel distribution on the list is very reasonable. In addition to the strongest three people, Dai Yuheng, Chen Zifeng and Meng Qingjia, there are 20 strong attack system combat soul masters, 10 agility attack system soul masters and control system soul masters, and 7 auxiliary system soul masters, one of which is a healing system. This is also unavoidable. The largest number of soul masters in the entire soul master world are strong attack system soul masters, and the smallest number are auxiliary system soul masters. Auxiliary system soul masters specializing in healing are even rarer. Currently, there are only two healing system soul masters in the sixth grade of Shrek, one stayed in Sunset City, and the other went to Yuhui City.
The personnel allocation was completed and no one refused to cooperate. Dai Yuheng immediately took these people to find General Matt. They had to leave as soon as possible. It only took more than an hour to get from Sunset City to Yuhui City, which was very close.
It was time for lunch. There was nothing good in the military camp. All they had were simple steamed buns and porridge, so the Shrek students also had to eat these. Although they were a little uncomfortable, no one complained.
Zhao Xin sat on a wooden bench, drank a mouthful of rice porridge, and ate a steamed bun, eating very quickly. He did not dislike the simple food, he knew that this temporary military camp was short of supplies, so it was impossible to provide the army with enough physical strength, and this would not be a long-term solution.
After lunch, Zhao Xin looked up at Nan Shenglan, who was sitting not far from him, and said, "Nan Shenglan, you should go and treat the injured soldiers in the army first, and then go to the city to see the injured civilians. Let Xu Li accompany you."
Nan Shenglan smiled sweetly: "Got it."
Nan Shenglan is a specialized healing soul master, and Xu Li is an agility attack soul master. Zhao Xin asked Xu Li to follow him just for safety reasons.
After lunch, everyone returned to their own tents to rest. The tents were shared by four people, while ordinary soldiers had eight people in one tent. General Yao was very nice to Shrek.
Mu Xuhui, Zhao Xin, Gong Yangmo and Jin Nuo lived in a tent. Gong Yangmo and Jin Nuo were resting, and Zhao Xin was just about to chat with Mu Xuhui when a shrill whistle sounded throughout the military camp.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Gong Yangmo suddenly sat up from the bed, not yet fully awake.
"Pack up quickly, everyone gather together, I think a beast tide is coming." Jin Nuo said as he made the bed.
The quality of Shrek's students is still very good. Although the emergency assembly prevented everyone from getting enough rest, two minutes later, everyone was standing in the training ground.
Yao Hengzhang, who was in the front and fully armored, nodded with satisfaction when he saw the Shrek soldiers, all dressed in black and neatly arranged. Although their speed of gathering was a little slower than that of the trained soldiers, it was understandable.
"Everyone listen up, the soul beasts are attacking. Team one to team five will conduct soul-guided artillery shell projection. Team six to team ten will be ready behind the city gate, ready to go out of the city to fight at any time. Team Shrek will follow me to the city wall and be prepared for any eventuality. Is everything clear?" Yao Hengzhang didn't waste any words and directly announced the mission.
"Understood."
"Everyone, let's go!"
Mu Xuhui and Zhao Xin led the Shrek people to the city wall. The city wall was somewhat damaged and had a lot of signs of repairs, which was obviously destroyed by the soul beasts before. The repaired city wall was not solid, so there were a lot of soldiers stationed here.
Standing on the city wall, you can have a clear view of the scenery ahead.
The entrance to the Sunset Forest is only about 3,000 meters away, which is very close. Standing high, you can see far. From the city wall, you can clearly see the smoke in the Sunset Forest and the dark group of soul beasts at the entrance, which makes people feel terrified.
The soul beasts have already gathered but have not yet started the attack. The army of Sunset City is also on high alert.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xin quietly released his mental power. Three thousand meters was his limit. Of course, Zhao Xin was very close to Yao Hengzhang, the Titled Douluo, but he just glanced at Zhao Xin and ignored him.
Although they were 3,000 meters away, with the help of spiritual power, the soul beasts seemed to be very close to Zhao Xin. Scanning the bodies of the soul beasts, as expected, the blood in each soul beast was boiling, and they looked very manic. Just as Yao Hengzhang said, their eyes were blood red, which was very strange, but he couldn't explain the reason.
After a rough count, there are about three hundred soul beasts under five hundred years old, and more than one hundred soul beasts between five hundred and one thousand years old. This number is still very large, at least the total number is more than the soul masters in Sunset City.
In order to save soul power, Zhao Xin did not go any further to investigate the whereabouts of the thousand-year soul beast, but instead withdrew his mental power.
As the atmosphere became increasingly tense, the soul beast finally took action.
"Awoo-Awoo--" was the cry of the Nether Wolf. The first to rush out was a group of hundred-year-old Nether Wolf. Nether Wolf is a kind of social soul beast, so it also appeared in groups in the beast tide, and it was a large-scale one. The bodies of these Nether Wolves that rushed out swelled slightly. Zhao Xin knew that it was because the blood in their bodies was boiling. The originally dark green pupils also turned blood red, which looked particularly weird.
Following closely behind the Nether Wolf were dozens of hundred-year-old wind spirit cats. These soul beasts were extremely fast, but they just shuttled through the Nether Wolf pack and would not stand out no matter how hard they were beaten. Behind them were all kinds of soul beasts, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. If they could get ashore, they would follow. Below was a group of soul beasts desperately running towards Sunset City. There were so many soul beasts, and the weight was considerable. Even the ground was shaking, as if it would collapse at any time. There were not many flying soul beasts in the sky, but some of the larger ones gathered together, and when they spread their wings, they covered the sky and the sun, and the sky became dark.
The Shrek students had never seen such a scene before, including Zhao Xin, who was stunned. What a spectacular scene it was! Mu Xuhui was fine, as he had experienced it many times when he was studying in the inner courtyard, not to mention that he was now an assistant teacher in the inner courtyard, and he had seen a lot of storms.
These soul beasts are getting closer and closer, but Sunset City has not made any move yet. The attack range of soul guides is limited, and they must wait until these soul beasts enter the attack range before they can take action. In fact, it is also possible to send soul masters out, but the strength of soul masters must be preserved. If we go up and deal with these weak hundred-year soul beasts now, we will not be able to fight against the thousand-year soul beasts behind.
The soul beasts were running very fast. Seeing that most of the soul beasts had entered the attack range and the soul beast in the front was about to reach the city gate, Yao Hengzhang raised his right hand and ordered: "Fire."
The first wave was not soul guided shells, but arrows. The Southeast Army used some unknown method, but the tip of each arrow was ignited with flames, and the arrows flew out with a whoosh.
The wind helped the fire. As the arrow flew, the small flame on it grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a rocket burning with flames. Part of the arrow was shot at the flying soul beasts in the air, and part was shot at the frenzied soul beasts on the ground.
