109 Chapter 109
Glory City.
The faces of the people were filled with joy and yearning.
The corpses of exotic beasts almost covered the entire glory city. When the meat of these strange beasts dried up, it would improve their lives.
Everyone was filled with hope for the future. It was a sense of glory and pride.
Under the leadership of the wise City Lord, Glory city accomplished a feat that was recorded in the history books.
Since both waves of the beast tide had been successfully withstood, there was still a chance for the last wave.
As long as they completely resisted the beast tide, Glory City's reputation would definitely spread throughout the entire martial nation and even the world!
He Chuan sat on the main seat in the main hall. Below him sat Xu Ke and Lin Ya.
Lin Chenghe had to command the soldiers tto defend the line gradually and he was busy all day.
"City Lord, you can't trust her completely. Su Wan is very shrewd and cunning. Now that she has become the Queen of Xu Kingdom, she must be thinking for Glory City wholeheartedly." Xu Ke stroked the goatee on his chin. Although his strength was not high, he was still very accurate in judging people!
"Since I can help Su Wan ascend to the throne, I can help other people. She is a smart person who knows the pros and cons!" Of course, He Chuan would not wholly trust Su Wan.
The relationship between the two was purely beneficial. He supported Su Wan in becoming the Queen.
Su Wan helped Glory City. This was what He Chuan asked for.
"Now is not the time to care about Xu Kingdom. Glory Ciyt has resisted two waves of beast tides consecutively. The Crown Prince will definitely not be able to sit still. The City Lord has to be on guard." Lin Ya and He Chuan shared the same view. They felt that Su Wan would definitely help Glory City under the consideration of pros and cons.
The key was whether the last wave of beast tides would be a trick by the crown prince.
He Chuan nodded. The Crown Prince must be on guard.
The other party would not just watch Glory City succeed.
"The enemy of the enemy is a friend. The Wu Kingdom is not all filled with Crown Prince's people. Glory City is now in the limelight. Some people hope I will lose, and naturally, others hope I will win."
He Chuan did not believe that the other Princes had no thoughts. When he was the Crown Prince, he blocked others path
The current Crown Prince was the same.
If he could rope in a few allies, with the help of Xu Kingdom's army, the chances of resisting the third wave of the beast tide would increase significantly.
Xu Ke and Lin Ya were smart people. They instantly understood the meaning of He Cchuan's words.
After a simple discussion, Xu Ke was sent to secretly contact the other princes who were demoted to City Lords.
...
Under the surging undercurrents, the last wave of beast tide rolled over.
The beasts that had experienced the first two waves had made a comeback.
There were even higher-level beasts.
The Cerberus!
The Earth Dragon Turtle!
The Demoness Eagle!
At the very least, it was equivalent to a third stage of awakened and was many times stronger than the previous wave.
Perhaps it was because of the bad luck from last time. The last wave of the beast tide was so densely packed that one could not see the end of it. It was definitely more than any other time recorded in the history books.
Under the command of their respective kings, the strange beasts sent out the advance troops.
At the same time, they besieged the four city gates.
Lin Cheng roughly estimated that there were about seven thousand people at each city gate, adding up to nearly thirty thousand!
And this was only the advance troops of the strange beasts. If the defensive line had broken through, Glory City would never have another chance.
They had to defend it to death!
"Motherf*cker, are these strange beasts crazy?" Lin Cheng could not help but curse.
Because of the second wave of mutated beasts' attacks, he had already silently estimated in his heart that the last wave of mutated beasts would definitely not be small.
However, there were too many of them, and it was enough to be recorded in the annals of history.
He didn't know what kind of madness these mutated beasts had gone through!
Lin Cheng paced back and forth on the city wall. No matter how calm he was, facing such a huge mutated beast tide, his heart couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Glory City's strength had indeed improved quite a bit, but facing a powerful exotic beast was too difficult!
The surrounding soldiers didn't receive the order for a long time. They turned their heads to look at Lin Cheng in astonishment.
In the past, Lin Cheng had been calm and collected. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he would be able to deal with them very well. But now, why didn't he respond at all?
Could it be that he was thinking of a countermeasure?
But now that the strange beasts were already at the city gates, he didn't have the time to think too much.
"Marshal Lin, now is not the time to think of a countermeasure. Hurry up and give the order!" A personal guard reminded him anxiously.
Slap!
Lin Cheng gave himself a vicious slap.
Being afraid before the battle began was a big taboo.
As the commander, if he started to be afraid, how could he continue to fight this battle.
Was he worthy of the City Lord's trust?
How was he worthy of the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles?
As long as he was still alive, he would fight the strange beasts to the end!
"Archers, get ready! Shoot ruthlessly for me! Don't be stingy with your arrows!"
"Prepare the magic crystal cannons! Fire at the spot where the strange beasts are densest!"
"Gunslinger..."
Lin Cheng came back to his senses and began to give orders methodically. His tone was ruthless and resolute.
As He Chuan's most trusted Marshal, he would repay his trust with strength!
Even if he had to die here!
The modified magic crystal cannon of Freedom City was pulled out by more than ten soldiers. The bottomless muzzle of the cannon was covered with incantations, making people look forward to its power.
Magic arrows scattered toward the crowd of strange beasts, and many of them were instantly shot into hedgehogs.
Lin Cheng stood beside the magic crystal cannon and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He had heard that the results of the experiment were pretty good.
But this was the first time it was officially used on the battlefield. No one knew whether it would work or not.
Magic arrows couldn't stop the footsteps of strange beasts. Some high-level strange beasts even directly used their bodies to block the magic arrows.
Dust and smoke rose from outside the city, and the exotic beasts were getting closer and closer to the city walls.
In fact, the people who were the most nervous at the moment were none other than the people sent by the governor's office because the power of the modified magic crystal cannon still needed to be tested on the strange beasts.
He was also the first to see such a large-scale beast tide up close. His legs were trembling.
Such a terrifying scene was like purgatory on Earth. Compared to the beast tide, he was as weak as an ant.
The modified magic crystal cannon was a part of his hope, a part of the governor's office's hope, and a part of everyone's hope.
He gritted his teeth and forced himself not to tremble.
"Insert the highest level of spiritual crystals. Aim in the northwest direction where the beast tide is densest. Fire!" Following his order, the soldiers in charge of operating the magic crystal cannon quickly got busy.
Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction the person in charge had mentioned, hoping to see what kind of result the magic crystal cannon would produce.
As dozens of high-level spiritual crystals were inserted, the huge cannon's body emitted a golden light, illuminating the faces of the nearby soldiers and Lin Cheng.
Boom!
The entire city wall began to shake. In the northwest direction of the beast tide, the energy ball landed at the center, and a dazzling light burst out instantly. The airwaves swept outwards.
The pillar of light soared into the sky.
Sand and rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky!
The light and dust gradually dispersed. Lin Cheng stretched out his head and looked over. The place where the explosion had occurred had left a deep pit dozens of meters deep, and the ground had turned into charcoal. At the edge of the bottomless pit, there were also scattered beast parts.
Looking further into the distance, there were also strange beasts that had been affected by the airwaves, lying on the ground and wailing in pain.
Lin Cheng's mouth opened into an 'o' shape. He hadn't expected the improved magic crystal cannon would be so terrifying.
In just an instant, hundreds of strange beasts had probably been turned into corpses. There wasn't even a residue left in the center.
"That's great!" Seeing this scene, the soldiers burst out in excited shouts.
The powerful strange beast actually died so easily.
