“You Dog, you betrayed me!”
“Damn it, you’re going to die a horrible death! !”
“When I get out of here, I’m going to teach you a lesson!”
The three people who had been pointed out cursed loudly without caring about their image.
However, when they saw He Chuan’s slightly furrowed brows, they immediately shut their mouths.
The City Lord’s death was still fresh in their minds. No one dared to be the unlucky one at this moment.
“Don’t scold him so quickly. I didn’t say that I wanted to kill you.”
He Chuan chuckled. “If you want to live, you must work harder, understand?”
The three of them were stunned. What did the Eighteenth Prince mean by this?
He Chuan did not explain further. He made them listen to his orders and began mobilizing the city’s soldiers and civilians.
Although these people all had ulterior motives, they had reached a short-term consensus on the matter of survival.
In the face of such a huge crisis like the beast tide, even if they wanted to resist, they did not have the ability, let alone the opportunity.
Therefore, in the face of He Chuan’s orders, they did not dare to make any changes and worked exceptionally hard to implement them.
It took them less than three minutes to collect the magic cannon blueprints and find the blacksmiths.
He Chuan, who had achieved his goal, began thinking about bringing these people out of the city.
He did not expect that the Heavenly Dao Rebate Buff would be triggered.
[Defend the city against the beast tide: You can activate the law of Karma, ‘Thousands Miles of Dead Souls’. Reward: Compensation from the Imperial Court!]
[Give up on defending and lead the citizens to flee the city. Successfully defend the city against the beast tide in Glory City: You can activate the law of Karma, ‘Number One in the World’. Reward: Massive rewards!]
He Chuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
Could it be that after he killed the City Lord, he could control the people in the city, causing the Heavenly Dao Rebates BUFF to think that the Freedom City was his property?
Good heavens, there was such a good thing?
Moreover, regardless of whether it was defended or not, there would be rewards.
The second reward was even more enticing.
What was a massive reward mean?
This meant that there was more than one reward!
There might be something that could allow him to break through quickly!
It was just that it was challenging to complete.
Not only did he have to lead the citizens to flee the city, he also had to lead Glory City to survive the entire beast tide in the future.
This difficulty was even greater than him overturning the Wu Kingdom and declaring himself king.
However, there was nothing he could do.
The conditions were set.
There was no place to change them, even if he wanted to.
It just so happened that he couldn’t stay in Freedom City. He just had to take the opportunity.
It was just that countless strange beasts had already filled the area between the inner and outer cities.
He couldn’t break through directly under the situation where all the fourth stage awakened ones had fled.
It wasn’t realistic to kill the beast tide alone.
What should I do…
Standing at the highest point of the inner city and looking at the dense magic cannons on the outer city wall, He Chuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Got It!
He still had ten high-grade spirit crystals, which were the energy source of the fourth stage strange beast.
He had just asked the generals in the city. Currently, no one could kill the fourth-stage strange beast, so there wasn’t even a single fourth-tier spirit crystal stored in the storehouse.
Under such circumstances, if the magic cannon could resist the beast tide with ordinary spiritual crystals, what would the effect be if it was a fourth-tier spiritual crystal?
He immediately works on it.
He Chuan immediately flew to the east city wall and used his innate ability to sweep away a large number of small strange beasts that were eating corpses. Then, he found a magic cannon that could still be used, and tried to put in a fourth-tier spirit crystal before activating it with spiritual energy.
Instantly, the body of the cannon lit up with a dazzling white light.
No one knew what had happened.
After a loud boom that shook heaven and earth, the mountains trembled, and the world shook.
When the light dissipated, they looked at the field again. There was already a vast bottomless pit in the city.
The tens of thousands of strange beasts surrounding the area were directly reduced by one-tenth.
Among them, there was also a fourth-stage strange beast!
However, because it had been greatly strengthened, it did not die.
However, most of its body had already been destroyed by the endless radiance of energy. They believed that it wasn’t far from death.
“How terrifying.”
He Chuan himself didn’t expect it either.
Logically speaking, the fourth-tier spirit crystals he had were all obtained in the past. In terms of strength, they were far inferior to the fourth-stage strange beasts here in Freedom City, so they shouldn’t have such oppressive effects.
“What’s the reason… ?”
He was careful and decided to explore it in the future when he had time.
Right now, it was more important to save the people here.
There were still nine spirit crystals left, and he used them all!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the explosions, deep pits appeared one after another on the ground.
The pits connected and became an insurmountable ravine.
There was one on each side, and the middle road became relatively safe.
As long as the remaining strange beasts were eliminated, the people in the inner city would naturally be able to head to the outer city and leave under his protection.
After that, it was time for the awakened ones to shine.
They wanted to live too.
No one was willing to feed their own flesh and blood to the strange beasts as food.
They were all fighting with their lives on the line at such a critical moment.
After that, He Chuan personally stepped in to protect them, and no fourth-stage strange beasts could get close.
Soon.
A troop of nearly 100,000 people marched out of the city.
The strange beasts were extremely furious. They let out terrifying roars, but there was nothing they could do.
He Chuan had adjusted the landing point of the cannonballs so that the holes created by the explosions were slanted. There was no way for them to climb up the walkway through the soft soil. They could only stand by the moat’s edge and watch the large group of food left.
In order to prevent them from pursuing him, he even set a fire at the gap of the East city wall.
The fire spread quickly through his spirit energy, directly sealing the strange beasts within the city.
Those who dared to touch it were all turned into ashes.
The small strange beasts scattered outside were even less of a concern. A third-stage awakened could quickly deal with them, so he didn’t need to deal with them at all.
Half of the operation to escape the city had been completed.
Now, they had to think of a way to safely bring such a huge team to Glory City!
