He Chuan was like a tireless machine. Wherever there was a crisis, he would appear. While saving the soldiers’ lives, he would also harvest the lives of a few strange beasts.
This group of soldiers was a living force.
To be able to withstand the attacks of this beast tide, every soldier’s life was critical because a living force meant hope!
He Chuan’s strength was still increasing in the midst of the battle. He was only one step away from breaking through to the fifth stage awakened.
As expected, continuous battles were the best way to increase one’s strength. Large-scale battles could temper one’s willpower even more.
It was a pity that he wasn’t a special awakened. He didn’t have any large-scale offensive skills, so he basically killed the beasts individually.
Otherwise, the speed at which he killed the mutated beasts would be faster, and the chances of victory would be higher.
His cultivation might increase several times, but that was just his beautiful fantasy. He Chuan could only rely on the knife in his hand to continuously harvest lives!
The mutated earth bear stood upright with a height of more than three meters. Its entire body seemed to be wearing golden armor as it rampaged on the city wall!
Faced with this huge threat, the soldiers seemed to be at a loss.
The huge bear paw slapped down at the two soldiers closest to it.
The surrounding comrades could not help but close their eyes, unwilling to see this cruel scene!
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
Everyone opened their eyes and saw He Chuan blocking the mutated earth bear’s attack with his knife.
“You guys go and defend the other places. I’ll deal with it!” As he spoke, he exerted strength with both of his arms, pushing the mutated earth bear several steps back.
The soldiers knew they couldn’t help, and staying would only cause more trouble.
They left behind the words “Be careful, City Lord” and quickly rushed to other places to fight.
“Roar!”
The mutated earth bear let out an angry roar because a lowly human dared to block it, hating that it couldn’t tear He Chuan into pieces.
“Damn thing, you still dare to curse!” Although He Chuan didn’t understand the meaning of its roar, he could clearly understand the meaning of the other party’s gaze!
The mutated earth bear’s body was indeed very tough. It was difficult for the demonic Buddhist monk knife to cause any damage.
“Let’s try this move!” He channeled his spiritual energy into the demonic knife, and the black fog on it became even denser.
The elongated black shadows shaped like a giant python soared into the sky as He Chuan swung his knife at the mutated earth bear that was coming at him!
The demonic knife created an illusion and slashed down at the earth bear from top to bottom!
A half-meter-deep ravine appeared on the bluestone bricks. The earth bear maintained its charging posture. When it ran in front of He Chuan, it fell heavily and became a dead soul under the knife.
The number of beasts in this wave was more than 100,000.
Lin Ya and Lin Cheng were in charge of commanding, while Su Wan was helping defend the other city gates!
The combat strength of Glory City’s soldiers had increased significantly. With enchanted weapons in their hands and under He Chuan’s leadership, the strange beasts weren’t able to break through the defense line.
The strange beasts’ eyes were red as they continued to attack Glory City!
He Chuan’s fighting spirit was high as he led the soldiers who weren’t afraid of death to continue fighting.
Fresh blood dyed the city walls red. The battle continued from night to dawn!
It was hard to remember exactly how long the battle had been going on, from dawn to dusk. The strange beasts continued to attack Glory City, and began to retreat on a small scale.
He Chuan chopped down the last howling sky wolf that wanted to flee for its life. Stepping on its massive head, he looked at the retreating strange beasts in the distance and clenched his fists.
The soldiers began to cheer to their heart’s content. Some of the soldiers lay in a pool of blood, listening to the cheers of their colleagues, revealing satisfied smiles.
Lin Ya and Lin Cheng looked at each other and smiled, then cheered along with the soldiers.
Su Wan lifted the bangs on her forehead, revealing a smile
Victory.
Glory City had withstood the beast tide!
They had been so sullen before. No one thought they could win, but they had really won.
Moreover, it was even more extensive than the beast tide recorded in the history books. This was the result of everyone’s hard work!
When the citizens in the city heard the cheers of the soldiers, they knew that Glory City had been saved from the beast tide.
Everyone ran around to tell each other, sharing the joy of victory.
The corpses of strange beasts were everywhere and became a trophy for Glory City, a trophy that belonged to everyone.
The dead strange beasts had witnessed the miracle of Glory City!
A strong sense of pride rose in He Chuan’s heart. He had finally accomplished it.
A mission that seemed impossible to complete!
But he knew that the matter was far from over.
What belonged to him had to be taken back with his own hands!
After the last wave of the beast tide was over, he would return to the capital and let those people witness the birth of a new Emperor!
But before that, he needed to help Su Wan ascend to the throne first!
…
This wave of gains had been quite substantial. The various types of spirit crystals in the city had been gathered together, which would definitely be astonishing. In addition to the meat of the strange beasts, the soldiers’ strength would also increase!
“City Lord, the losses in this battle have been counted.” L in Ya walked in front of He Chuan and interrupted his thoughts.
He Chuan nodded, his heart somewhat heavy.
He knew that the losses this time should not be small.
“We killed a total of 83,600 strange beasts and obtained 79,462 spirit crystals!” Lin Ya reported softly.
It was indeed a considerable amount.
“How are the losses of our people?” He Chuan asked again.
“1,024 people died in battle, and 3,756 were injured.” Lin Ya looked at the data in the notebook, her excitement gradually cooling down.
“Comfort their families, and distribute the pension as soon as possible. They are all good people and did not disgrace Glory City!” He Chuan’s heart was in great pain, but he could not change the outcome.
Where there was war, there was death.
It was an eternal principle that he could only take good care of the dead soldiers’ families so they would not shed blood and tears.
“City Lord, there is no need to be sad. The soldiers fought for City Lord and for Glory City. They fought for their families behind them, and they died well.” Lin Cheng tried to persuade him.
“Big Brother is right. The soldiers are shining with glory. They don’t have any regrets. Besides, we have defended the beast tide. The people who died will be able to rest in peace!” Lin Ya was afraid that He Chuan would not be able to recover, she quickly followed Lin Cheng to persuade him.
“I’m not that weak. You don’t have to persuade me.” He Chuan shook his head. He was not a three-year-old child. He had long known about the cruelty of war.
However, he felt sorry for their family.
He took a deep breath and said, “Bury our heroes well! We’ll gather at the City Lord’s Manor later.”
Lin Cheng and Lin Ya saw that He Chuan was not discouraged by the dead soldiers. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief and began to command the soldiers in the city to handle the follow-up matters.
The civilians came spontaneously with cleaning tools in their hands.
Glory City was their root. If they lost Glory City, they would be rootless refugees.
So they use actual actions to give support to He Chuan and this army!
