Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206 The Battle of Defending the City
The Inner city where the Chief Mansion is located is in the eastern coastal region of Miaoyin City, while the accident occurred in the western part. Qin Sisi and Ye You traveled overnight and reached the affected area two days later.
Before they even t the guards stationed in this region, the two realized sothing was amiss.
The information reported to Chi Xun was that around a hundred frenzied animals were incessantly attacking humans, causing great chaos.
Yet now, as far as their eyes could see, it was desolate and void of people, with only the occasional scattering of human and animal corpses, the bloodstains already blackened.
This situation seed beyond what a hundred ordinary animals could achieve.
The two ticulously searched and spotted a small city in the distance, rushing over quickly. As they got closer, the scene before them was shocking.
Outside the city walls was a thick layer of animal corpses. Just as the reports ntioned, there were all sorts of animals; large ones like tigers and lions were few, mostly smaller creatures like dogs, cats, and mice.
These animals had wounds on their bodies, bloodstained, and the wounds were shaped like arrows, yet no weapons could be found on them.
As Qin Sisi and Ye You entered the city, they found the situation inside even more horrifying.
Mostly animals perished outside the walls, while the vast majority of the dead inside the city were humans, who died tragically, seemingly bitten to death slowly as the reports had said.
Qin Sisi muttered in horror, "What on earth is going on? How could these animals suddenly go berserk and attack humans so furiously?"
Ye You pondered for a mont and said, "Let’s search elsewhere; maybe we can find a populated place and gather more information."
Thus, the two continued onward. After passing through two more death-filled cities, they finally heard the heart-stopping sounds of slaughter and roars in the distance.
The two exchanged a glance, then flapped their wings a few tis, speeding toward the source of the sound.
This was a brutal siege battle, with humans defending the city. It seed the war had been ongoing for a while. Everyone looked exhausted, yet they gritted their teeth and held on.
The animals outside the city were desperately assaulting the walls. Large animals ramd into the gate forcefully, causing it to clatter loudly with each strike.
Small animals searched for ways to enter the city from beneath the walls, stealthily appearing inside and viciously biting any soldiers they encountered.
Flying birds swooped down from above to attack the human guards.
The varied and frantic animal attacks left the defending guards in shambles, with people continuously falling amid the animals’ bites, letting out anguished screams.
Of course, the human guards weren’t passively waiting; they fought back furiously, wielding weapons and engaging in intense battles with the animals inside the city.
Now Qin Sisi understood how those animals got their wounds.
Miaoyin City is a city of music, with many guards possessing so degree of Music Magic. The magical power of their instrunts ford illusory arrows that struck the animals from a distance.
The problem was, sensible beings fear death, while these frenzied animals showed no fear of death, granting them higher offensive power.
As the human side was gradually losing ground, Qin Sisi and Ye You nodded at each other and rushed forward together.
Ye You went into the city and engaged in close combat with the invading animals.
These animals had no real magical power and despite their lack of fear, they were no match for the Demon Emperor.
Ye You easily dispatched them, often with a single move, drastically reducing the number of animals within the city.
Qin Sisi stood atop the city walls, assisting the defenders in repelling the animals beneath the walls.
After unleashing several group attack skills, more than half of the animals attacking the walls were dead or injured, significantly easing the defenders’ pressure, who looked at Qin Sisi with gratitude and surprise.
The addition of the two Demon Emperors brought an unequivocal end to the battle; the animals were utterly defeated, and no more human guards were killed after Ye You and Qin Sisi’s intervention.
A middle-aged general, clad in armor and tall in stature, hurriedly approached Qin Sisi and Ye You, bowed deeply, and respectfully said, "I am Mu Zhen, the Head of Guard at Li Tang Town. Thank you both for your assistance. May I know your esteed nas?"
Ye You looked at Mu Zhen intensely, and solemnly replied, "Jiuxi Yeyou."
Mu Zhen was shocked, trembling as he looked at Ye You in astonishnt. The young man before him appeared proud and aloof, with gleaming purple eyes.
Of course, Mu Zhen had heard that His Royal Highness possessed a pair of purple eyes, and with his extraordinary performance in the battle just now, there seed to be no doubt.
Moreover, he knew that Chief Chixun’s daughter, Miss Yi Rou, was getting married, and His Royal Highness had co to Miaoyin City.
Mu Zhen hurriedly knelt and loudly said, "Greetings, Your Royal Highness. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."
As Mu Zhen knelt, all the guards behind and around him followed suit.
"Please rise, no need for formality." Ye You’s voice softened a bit.
Mu Zhen and the others slowly stood up, and Ye You held Qin Sisi’s hand as he introduced, "This is my fiancée, Qin Sisi."
"Greetings, Princess." The group bowed to Qin Sisi, lowering their heads with deep respect.
Qin Sisi, slightly nervous, glanced at Ye You and said, "No need for formalities, we’re all one family."
After becoming acquainted, Ye You and Qin Sisi carefully inquired Mu Zhen about the frenzy of the animals. Mu Zhen was bold yet ticulous, capable of withstanding the fierce animal onslaught for such a duration.
He confided his suspicions to Ye You and Qin Sisi, believing this was not a natural disaster but rather a man-made one.
No matter how dreadful a contagious disease might be, it couldn’t yield such terrifying results. Surely soone was manipulating these animals, prompting them to attack cities, killing humans, and causing widespread chaos.
Without an effective solution, this situation could spread to other parts of Miaoyin City, posing a significant threat to the city.
Mu Zhen’s speculations coincided with Qin Sisi and Ye You’s thoughts. During their journey, they had analyzed it many tis, feeling it wasn’t a simple accident but a carefully orchestrated invasion.
Moreover, it now appeared that part of this invasion had already succeeded; several small cities in the western region of Miaoyin City had turned into death cities.
If not for Qin Sisi and Ye You’s tily arrival, Li Tang Town defended by Mu Zhen would have likely t the sa fate as those cities.
