Just as Su Wan was about to make her next move, He Chuan suddenly pushed her away.
“City Lord, don’t you fancy me?” Su Wan pretended to be sad.
“Seductive vixen!” He Chuan thought to himself.
He Chuan suddenly stood up from the bathtub and used spiritual energy to dry the water droplets on his body. His gaze became fierce.
Su Wan did not have the time to be shy. Her expression also became solemn. The sirens of Glory City sounded.
“Isn’t there still a few days before the second wave of the beast tide invades?” Su Wan helped He Chuan put on his clothes and asked with some confusion.
“There’s no time to analyze now. Quickly go back and change into your armor. Follow me to resist the beast tide!” He Chuan waved his hand and said.
[After a world-class supernatural disaster descended, various regions underwent abnormal changes. Your Glory City welcomed a beast tide that was hard to come by in ten years. You decided to command from behind the scenes during the second beast tide. The soldiers fought according to the plan, but in the end, they failed. Glory City suffered heavy losses, and you were forced to flee…]
He Chuan frowned. During the last deduction, he had led his army into a bloody battle and failed. This time, the ending of commanding from behind the scenes was still a failure?
Was there really no solution?
That wasn’t right! Last time, Glory City’s overall strength was weak, which was why the deduction result failed.
But now, everyone’s overall strength has increased by a large margin. It wasn’t necessarily impossible for him to go to the front line and fight!
It was better to rely on himself to feel at ease than others.
If one wanted to stand at the peak of the world, one had to take the initiative to face a life-and-death battle and raise their strength in a cruel war.
He Chuan’s gaze gradually became firm as he took out his demonic knife.
…
The soldiers on the city wall were doing their best to fight. Everyone’s overall strength had increased, so facing the second strange beast’s attack wasn’t as strenuous as they had imagined.
The system’s reward was a timely rain.
Otherwise, He Chuan might face a scene of corpses strewn all over the ground.
“City Lord, why are you here? Military Advisor Lin Ya is waiting for you to discuss military strategy.” Two personal guards saw He Chuan’s arrival and hurriedly became vigilant, afraid there would be a sneak attack from the strange beasts.
“Military Advisor Lin Ya can handle it on her own. Everyone, follow me and kill all these beasts!” He Chuan had already made his choice!
Marshal Lin Cheng commanded his soldiers to fight against the second wave of beasts. He felt a little depressed when facing the ferocious beasts.
Howling Sky Wolf, Sky Bat, and the Crimson Sand Demon Scorpion that He Chuan had encountered before.
The weakest among the beasts was equivalent to a human of second-stage awakened this time. The most powerful one was no less than a human of fourth-stage awakened.
In fact, they had already made an assessment of the strength of the second wave of strange beasts, but the addition of the crimson sand demon scorpions had significantly increased the number of strange beasts.
It was almost one-third more than what was recorded in the history books!
The second wave actually had an amount of 100,000. It was simply unheard of. Glory City was facing a huge challenge!
Moreover, this group of strange beasts seemed to be commanded by high-level creatures, which actually attacked separately.
They attacked from the east, south, west, and north gates at the same time, and different strange beasts coordinated with each other.
Could it be that strange beasts could really have consciousness?
The four city gates faced the pressure of strange beasts’ attacks at the same time, and Lin Cheng became the busiest person because he had to make the most appropriate decision.
The number of strange beasts was indeed terrifying. They were like huge waves set off by a monstrous flood, wanting to submerge the entire Glory City.
But Lin Cheng firmly believed that they would win!
Because that person was there!
“Archers, get ready. The magic arrows will be nocked. Shoot without discrimination! Fire!”
The rain of arrows rained down from all directions. There was no need to aim deliberately because there were too many strange beasts. Some magic arrows could even kill two to three strange beasts.
Lin Cheng commanded methodically, his voice a little hoarse.
At this moment, He Chuan also flew to the top of the city wall. Looking at the peculiar beast tide in the distance, he frowned deeply.
“City Lord, your identity is incomparably noble. How can you come to such a place? Hurry back to the City Lord’s Manor. I will be in charge here. If anything happens to you,” Lin Cheng hurriedly ran to He Chuan’s side to persuade him.
He Chuan was the backbone of everyone. If anything happened, no one could bear the responsibility. It would also cause the morale of the citizens to drop.
“That’s right, City Lord. Please listen to Marshal Lin’s words and follow us back to the City Lord’s Manor.” The personal guard continued to persuade him, afraid that something might happen to He Chuan.
“How’s the situation?” He Chuan didn’t seem to hear their persuasion and asked about the strange beasts.
“The number is one-third higher than recorded. This wave of strange beasts is about a thousand beasts. The crimson sand demon scorpions that City Lord encountered in the Gobi Desert have also joined the siege team.”
Although Lin Cheng was anxious, he still answered the question dutifully.
Crimson Sand Demon Scorpions? He Chuan was also puzzled. The crimson sand scorpion king had been killed, so the scorpions should have dispersed and only gathered when the new king appeared.
Why did they follow him from the Gobi Desert all the way to Glory City? Why did they have such a strong desire for revenge?
“City Lord, please listen to me. Go back to the City Lord’s Mansion and take command from the back. This place is under…” Lin Cheng tried to persuade him again.
“Brothers! I will advance and retreat with you. Everyone, follow me and kill!”
He Chuan didn’t wait for Lin Cheng to finish his words and shouted at the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles.
His roar instantly spread throughout the entire Glory City!
“It’s actually the City Lord!”
“The City Lord is willing to fight with us!”
“F*ck those mutated beasts. Come and exchange a few moves with me!”
“Kill those motherf*cking strange beasts!”
“Brothers, the City Lord is watching. We must kill more of them!”
He Chuan’s words were more effective than drinking chicken blood. The soldiers and officers felt their blood boil!
However, Lin Cheng felt a little uneasy. He knew He Chuan was a third-stage awakened, and it was perilous to fight with strange beasts.
Strange beasts wouldn’t show mercy. If anything detrimental happened…
Lin Cheng wanted to continue persuading him, but He Chuan didn’t give him the chance.
He Chuan gripped his demonic Buddhist monk knife tightly with both hands and rushed toward the strange beasts climbing up the city wall. The knife’s shadow flashed past, drawing a black streak of light.
The surrounding soldiers felt their eyes blur. The strange beast in front of them was directly cut in half. Before it could even roar, its corpse fell to the bottom of the city wall.
“So powerful!” Everyone looked at the scene before them and felt their hearts skip a beat.
They didn’t expect the City Lord to be so mighty. He killed the howling sky wolf with just one strike. This was an existence equivalent to a human of third-stage awakened.
“The City Lord is awesome!”
“Long live the City Lord!”
“The City Lord is invincible!”
The soldiers cheered without care of the world. It was as if they saw the dawn of victory.
However, He Chuan was very calm. This was just the forefront. There was still a fierce battle waiting for them. If they were too complacent now, it would be very easy for them to fail.
“Everyone, put on 120% of your energy. Follow me and continue to kill!” He Chuan leaped to the front. The demonic Buddhist monk knife was like the blade of the Grim Reaper in the dark night as he charged toward the hundreds of strange beasts that had just climbed to the top of the city wall.
The sky bat still wanted to resist, but its head was separated from its body. It was also killed in one strike.
The Earth Bear, known as the strange beast with the most robust defense, was still killed in one strike!
As expected, his old friend, the crimson sand demon scorpion, was also killed in one strike.
The strange beasts would fall every time he brandished the demonic knife in his hand. In the span of a few breaths, more than ten strange beasts had fallen beside him.
