At this time, most of the soldiers guarding the city had not yet arrived.
The soldiers who were originally on night duty were all lying on the city wall, looking into the distance. Humans were driven by their subconscious belief that they were superior to animals, and they relied on the high city wall for cover. Few of them were prepared to defend themselves.
When Shang Xiye arrived and saw the situation, he immediately said angrily in a deep voice, "Why aren't you preparing to defend against the enemy? Are you all just stretching your necks out to wait for death?!"
The city guards on night duty turned around indifferently: "..."
Who the hell is this guy, daring to spout nonsense at them?
The identity tokens of Shang Xiye, Wuying, and Wuhen cannot be shown, otherwise the news that they are currently on the border of the former Northern Kingdom will spread throughout the capital in less than two days.
Fortunately, Black Owl's identity was special, and Shang Xiye had given him a special all-purpose token. As long as it was within the jurisdiction of the Ninth Prince, this token could command and mobilize the troops within the city.
Black Owl rummaged through his storage ring for a long time before finally finding the token. He flashed it in front of the city guards, his voice authoritative and radiating an innate pressure: "Mang City is in mortal danger. Quickly summon your leaders to take charge of the battle."
"Yes, sir, I'll go right away." The guard on night duty saw the token and was so frightened that he ran down the city wall in a panic to find his commander.
But the guard's legs were no match for the herd of beasts outside the city.
He had barely descended the city wall, and the soldiers on the wall had just picked up their spears, swords, and crossbows, when the vanguard of the beast tide had already rushed down to the city.
People soon discovered that these ferocious beasts were different from the ferocious beasts they usually saw;
Even ordinary ferocious beasts have emotions and fear when facing humans;
But the eyes of these ferocious beasts are either scarlet, or dark blue, dark green, or dark purple, filled only with ferocity and bloodlust, devoid of any other superfluous emotions.
Moreover, it is ridiculously powerful and even more intelligent!
The first group of ferocious beasts to arrive were mostly huge wolves or jackals. When they jumped with all their might, they could almost reach the city wall, which was more than two meters high!
Those who were weaker and couldn't reach the city wall actually stacked themselves into human pyramids and used their own bodies to build animal ladders!
"What the hell are these things? Have they become sentient?" Ji Chenhai was greatly shocked. He swung his sword to cut down the ferocious beasts that tried to leap onto the wall, and muttered in a low voice.
Ji Fengyao didn't stop either. She took a longsword from Xique and began slashing and thrusting repeatedly, explaining the science to the people around her: "These are mutated beasts, the product of ordinary ferocious beasts absorbing spiritual energy and evolving. They are several times stronger than ordinary ferocious beasts in both intelligence and physical strength. If they evolve to the first rank, some of them will awaken their innate supernatural abilities and successfully transform into demonic beasts. The strength of demonic beasts is twice that of human cultivators of the same rank, so everyone must be careful and cautious, and never be careless!"
"You mean there will be more monsters later?" Shang Xiye frowned.
“Yes, from weak to strong, this is one of the characteristics of the beast tide. The first wave of mutated beasts has such strength, there must be a demon beast to finish it off.” Ji Fengyao’s expression was grim: “If a second-tier demon beast appears, its strength is equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation. Your Highness, with our current strength, I’m afraid we can’t protect Mang City.”
"Yaoyao, the people are innocent. No matter what, we must try our best," Shang Xiye said resolutely.
Ji Chenhai turned his head and said, "Xiao Jiu is right. At times like these, we must stand before the people. This is the responsibility of the strong and the basic morality of being human. When righteousness is at stake, we must not back down!"
