Chapter 310 The beast comes to the city
Chapter 310 The beast comes to the city
The Meng Shenji army did not encounter any decent resistance in the three border cities. The army, which set out at noon, could already enjoy dinner in the three border cities.
Seeing that there was no need for him to be here, Ning Bei immediately found Meng Shenji and said goodbye.
"I'll leave first and go check out the situation in Xingluo City. After you've rested, you can directly attack Panshi City and then march into the inland of Xingluo."
"This"
Meng Shenji seemed a little lacking in confidence. He had only heard Qian Renxue mention that a tide of beasts would besiege Xingluo Royal City, but he was not clear about the number and scale of the tide.
"Isn't this too hasty? If Xing Luo sends troops to help after dealing with the beast tide, how should we respond? Should we stabilize the situation on the border first?"
"Humph, Xing Luo will not have any reinforcements coming. There are more than 30,000 soul beasts besieging the city, most of which are 10,000-year-old soul beasts. Among them, there are more than 50 soul beasts with a cultivation base of more than 50,000 years. Do you think Xing Luo still has time to pay attention to you?"
Ning Bei sneered at Meng Shenji's conservative idea and made no effort to hide his contempt for Xing Luo.
And his words also shocked Meng Shenji greatly. As a soul master at the Soul Douluo level, he certainly understood what kind of existence soul beasts with cultivation above 50,000 years were like. It was no exaggeration to say that fifty 50,000-year soul beasts were equivalent to fifty Soul Douluo powerhouses, or perhaps even slightly stronger. Facing this level of beast tide, Xing Luo would be lucky to be able to preserve the country, let alone send troops to lift the siege on the border.
"In that case, there will be no problem. I will immediately order the generals to prepare to attack Rock City and try to capture it quickly."
Meng Shenji also understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All the towns and fortresses in the Xingluo Empire, except the royal city, were basically isolated and helpless. What were they waiting for if they didn't expand their territory at this time?
"Well, make your own arrangements. I'm leaving now."
After explaining the current situation clearly, the rest was not Ning Bei's concern. After leaving the border, Ning Bei flew towards Xingluo Royal City again.
On the other side, the beast tide led by General Qiu'er finally arrived at the Xilan River after three days of rushing, and faced the royal capital across the river.
Qiu'er was a little unhappy. In the memories she had collected, war should be extremely passionate. She should have passed five checkpoints, killed six generals, and rode alone for thousands of miles. But all she met along the way were either old, weak, sick and disabled civilians or defenders who turned around and ran away.
"It's really boring. I've turned from a general into a shepherd boy. Don't you think so?"
Qiu'er patted the head of the red-gold tiger king under her crotch, causing the other party to shake its head.
Just when Qiu'er was feeling depressed, a green light flashed in front of him, and Daming appeared in front of the army of soul beasts.
"Ms. Qiu'er."
"It's Uncle Daming, where's Brother Bei?"
"Brother Ning Bei went to the Tiandou border for something, and told me to wait for you here. Once the soul beast army arrives, we will directly surround Xingluo City."
Hearing this, Qiu'er's eyes, which had originally been gloomy, suddenly brightened.
"Really? Is Xingluo Royal City just ahead? Will there be a fight there?"
"Well, that's the theory."
Daming felt ashamed. Although Qiu'er was very powerful and strictly speaking he was not strong enough to defeat her, the other party's identity was extremely special. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the second treasure of these beast kings besides Danta. Therefore, these beast kings subconsciously did not want Qiu'er to face any danger.
In the minds of the beasts in Danta, Danta is their home, Qiu'er is the double experience card, and Lei Yuanyuan is the heavenly tribulation immortality card. These are the people they need to protect, even though Qiu'er and Lei Yuanyuan's strengths are more outrageous than the other.
Not to mention Qiu'er's ultimate light and fire attributes, Lei Yuanyuan, who has undergone years of evolution, also possesses the ultimate thunder attribute. With a snap of his fingers, he can let the soul beast feel the power of the heavenly tribulation.
Qiu'er couldn't care less about all these things at the moment. She was almost bored to death along the way.
"What are we waiting for? Let's surround Xingluo City and challenge it to a fight!" "Okay!"
Daming could do nothing about Qiu'er's erratic behavior. At most he could pay more attention to her. He also didn't think anyone in Xingluo City could hurt Qiu'er.
"Little ones, follow me."
The fragrance of elixir near Xingluo City was very strong, and the beasts could no longer suppress their genes that were ready to move. Following Qiu'er's orders, tens of thousands of soul beasts stepped directly onto the frozen river surface and began their journey across the river.
In Xingluo City, on the city wall, Dai Tianyu, wearing armor, looked anxiously at the billowing smoke and dust a hundred kilometers away. He understood that it was caused by the beast tide, which meant that tens of thousands of soul beasts were already at the gates of the city.
"Damn it, haven't we found the ancestor and the two priests yet?"
"Your Majesty, we have searched the area around Xingluo City thoroughly in the past three days. I believe that the ancestors and the priests have already..."
"Impossible! How could the ancestor, who is extremely powerful, be defeated by a mere powerful golden ape?"
Dai Tianyu had heard the returning soldiers tell about the epic battle on the banks of the Xilan River, and also heard them describe the giant beast similar to the mighty King Kong Ape.
He subconsciously believed that the soul beast would not be a match for Dai Qianyuan, but after three consecutive days without any news from the ancestor, Dai Tianyu couldn't help but feel nervous, because Dai Qianyuan was their last resort.
The officials around him didn’t know what to say now. If the ancestor and the two priests were still alive, how could they not show up at this time?
"How long will it take for the border guards to return?"
Dai Tianyu also understood that now was not the time to continue mentioning the ancestor and the two priests, as this would be too damaging to morale, so he could only inquire about the news of the reinforcements.
"Your Majesty, the scouts reported this morning that the reinforcements have arrived at Lingmao City. They will come to support the capital together with the Duke of Netherworld's troops. They will arrive in one day at most."
"Well, let's hold out for a day first. We must hold out until reinforcements arrive."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In fact, the officials wanted to say, what can the defenders do when they arrive? Are they going to fight with tens of thousands of soul beasts under the city? This is unrealistic.
But his family business was all in Xingluo City, so what could he do if he didn't defend it? Letting the soul beasts into the city would only destroy the family's foundation.
Not only Dai Tianyu, but also the other priests and Zhu Xianwei were feeling very depressed at this moment. They could already feel the earth shaking constantly. Xilan River was only tens of kilometers away from the royal capital. According to the speed of those soul beasts, they would be able to reach the city in the afternoon. Could these people and hundreds of thousands of ordinary troops really stop the soul beasts?
"Damn it! Don't let me know who caused the beast tide, or I won't let him go."
Dai Tianyu was very angry, because he was very likely the last emperor of Xingluo, but he had no other choice but to vent his anger by hammering the thick bricks of the city wall.
Seeing this, the queen stepped forward and held his hand.
"Your Majesty, the country has not been destroyed yet. My elder brother has already led his troops from Lingmao City. We just need to hold out for one day."
Although the Queen understood that her elder brother could not solve anything, she could only comfort Dai Tianyu for now.
