BXBX NOVEL 86 Chapter 86
No matter how unwilling the Azure Dragon Marshal was.
He could only order all the soldiers to get into formation and maintain full vigilance in order to deal with the next beast tide.
Soon, the sounds from the forest got closer and closer.
After five heavy breaths.
The first wave of the beast tide appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was a group of well-built canine-type strange beasts, similar to hyenas in some ways. There were several hundred of them.
He Chuan narrowed his eyes and observed.
It seemed that the beast tide that was affected by the natural disaster had also arrived in batches.
The relatively fast low-level strange beasts were too close to the front, so they were the first to arrive here.
In that case, it wouldn't be so difficult to deal with them.
But this was only for the new army of the awakened ones.
The Azure Dragon Legion, which was leaning against the city wall, was miserable beyond words.
In an instant, a hole was torn open.
Even as a low-level strange beast, the hyena's sharp claws, with the addition of powerful strength, could easily break the armor and shields of the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion.
Those basic weapons, which were even inferior to the black-scaled element, had no deterrent force in front of them at all.
Using the body of an ordinary person to resist the beast tide.
And without the protection of the city walls, they would only become cannon fodder in this battle.
If it weren't for a part of the spirit cultivators who had awakened their innate abilities to rush to the battlefield, the first wave of strange beasts might have been able to wipe out these 20,000 soldiers.
The fire clouds above their heads kept raining down deadly flames, crazily harvesting the lives of the hyenas.
Although He Chuan was only a level two awakened, his performance was more dazzling than all the other spiritual cultivators combined.
The Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual was too powerful.
In this world of beginner-entry spiritual energy recovery, this cultivation technique blessed by the heavenly Dao was the best.
In addition, He Chuan's control and use of inner qi were very meticulous. If it was changed into spiritual energy, it would not be much different.
Therefore, among the second-level awakened, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest.
"Sir is so strong."
Xu Ke stood at the side and could only stare.
He had also taken the Hanshi Powder, but he was just an ordinary martial cultivator, which greatly disappointed him who wanted to become a spirit cultivator.
Facing this kind of battlefield, he could only be a salted fish who knew how to cheer others. He didn't do anything.
Lin Cheng was the same.
As the higher-ups of the army, they could not go down and charge into battle.
Otherwise, if anything happened to them, it would be an irreversible blow to their morale.
On the other hand, military advisor Lin Ya seemed to be blessed by the heavens.
She stood out among the tens of thousands of people and became one of the spiritual cultivators.
The innate ability was plant affinity. She could use spiritual energy to increase the growth rate of plants.
At first, she was a little disappointed. She felt that this was a useless ability.
However, He Chuan told her very clearly that there were no trash abilities. There were only awakened ones who didn't know how to use their abilities.
In his opinion, as long as one cultivated plant affinity to a certain level, they could control plants and let them fight for themselves. It was somewhat similar to a beast tamer.
In the future, when he became a level six or seven awakened, wouldn't it be amazing and interesting to directly scatter beans into soldiers and command a group of small plants to charge into battle?
Only then did Lin Ya's worry turn into joy. She could do one more thing every day and cultivate diligently.
However, right now, she was unable to help. She could only sit in the center of the city and analyze the battle situation.
On the side of the new army of the awakened ones, quite a number of martial cultivators rushed out of the city through the small gates, killing the enemies outside. They forcibly helped the Azure Dragon Legion, which was about to collapse stabilize the situation.
Under the dual efforts of the spirit cultivators controlling the battlefield and the martial cultivators killing the enemies, the first wave of the beast tide was cleaned up not long after, and they managed to defend the city safely.
The Azure Dragon Marshal hurriedly took this opportunity to get people to count the casualties.
Not long after, He Chuan heard a terrifying number.
Five thousand!
The Azure Dragon Marshal had lost a quarter of his men just to face less than a thousand small-sized strange beasts.
It was hard to imagine what would have happened if Glory City had no awakened ones now.
So many people had died.
The smell of blood would definitely stimulate more strange beasts to attack.
Now, they had to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and collect the beast's meat and crystals.
The Azure Dragon Marshal also made a request at this time.
Co-defense was fine, but they had to move into Glory City.
Otherwise, the losses would be too great. When the second wave arrived, they would all be wiped out.
He Chuan directly ignored them.
He had originally wanted to take care of the Azure Dragon Legion.
These people hadn't done anything good when they were in Glory City.
Moreover, Azure Dragon Marshal had harmed him first. No matter what, he wouldn't let them off.
If he wanted to survive, he had to rely on himself!
At that moment, he didn't hesitate anymore.
He directly gave the order to abandon the wounded. Everyone took off their bloodstained clothes and went around Glory City, intending to leave from the other side.
This was the right choice.
The smell of blood continued to attract the attention of the strange beasts, leaving Glory City's people with no time to care about anything else. They had no way of splitting up their troops to chase after them.
"You're really ruthless. You're even willing to give up on your own subordinates now."
Lin Cheng clenched his fists. Abandoning a chariot to protect the commander was something that he absolutely couldn't do.
"Humph!" Azure Dragon Marshal shouted across the air. "Don't make sarcastic remarks here! If it weren't for you guys forcing me, I wouldn't have gone to this extent. If I can't stand it anymore, I can just leave them!"
"Despicable scoundrel!"
Xu Ke couldn't help but curse.
The Azure Dragon Marshal still didn't forget to set a trap for them.
If Glory City didn't take in these injured soldiers at this time.
If word got out in the future, everyone in the world would definitely think that City Lord He Chuan was a cold-blooded and heartless person.
If that happened, he would lose the hearts of the people, and he would never be able to become the heir to the throne.
As he watched the Azure Dragon Legion gradually move further and further away, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Sir, what should we do? Should we chase after them?"
"There's no need. I suddenly thought of a way to save Glory City."
He Chuan only smiled slightly. "Let the bait go further away."
As he spoke, he raised his hands high.
A rain of fire rained down from the sky.
All the corpses and blood were turned into ashes under the high temperature and finally turned into a charred stench that even the strange beasts loathed.
