“Yes.”
Bo He said, “The Death Mountain Range is on the border of Dingyang, thousands of miles from here. Mistress, how do you plan to go there? Should 1 prepare a horse carriage for you?”
“Horse carriages are too slow; I’ll go on my own.”
With her cultivation, she could probably reach the Death Mountain Range in just one day and one night. Riding a horse would take several tis longer.
After giving her instructions, Gu Qingluan left the Jun Residence.
Crimson Fla City was the closest city to the Death Mountain Range in the Dingyang Kingdom. Originally, it was just a small town, but due to an increasing number of people venturing into the Death Mountain Range in search of treasures, the town gradually expanded and evolved into a city.
Crimson Fla City was not its original na; it used to be called Lin City.
Due to its proximity to the Death Mountain Range, this place often suffered from attacks by mystical beasts. There was a rumor of a major beast tide once, which caused nurous casualties in Lin City and nearly breached its defenses. It was the city lord who used fire to scare off the beast tide.
Afterward, that city lord believed that fire could repel beasts. When rebuilding the city, he deliberately constructed red walls and renad it Crimson Fla City.
Crimson Fla City had beco adept at dealing with beast tides over ti. Whenever a beast tide occurred, the rcenaries stationed in the city would accept employnt from the city lord’s mansion to participate in the defense of the city.
Not only could they earn a hefty commission, but any mystical beasts they killed also belonged to them.
Mystical beasts were treasures in every aspect, from their tough fur and sharp claws to their mystical beast cores, all of which could be sold for profit.
Therefore, every ti a beast tide ca, there was no shortage of rcenaries eager to take on the task, hoping to strike it rich.
Today, the rcenaries in Crimson Fla City initially thought it was just another ordinary beast tide and eagerly accepted the task issued by the city lord’s mansion. However, when they started defending the city, they were shocked to realize that this beast tide was unlike any other.
From morning until night, wave after wave of mystical beasts arrived, seemingly endless.
What was even more terrifying was that the level of the mystical beasts kept increasing. In previous beast tides, most were below the fourth grade, and the leaders rarely exceeded the seventh grade. But in this beast tide, there were many mystical beasts above the fourth grade, and there were quite a few above the seventh grade. They even discovered that the most formidable creature in this beast tide was a third-grade Saint Beast!
The sheer quantity of mystical beasts this ti was greater than in any past beast tide, and their power surpassed anything seen before. Was there even a chance of survival?
Crimson Fla City’s defensive formations were considered quite robust, but under this relentless beast tide, they only held out for less than half a day.
The number of fallen rcenaries was countless.
In Crimson Fla City, everyone was a soldier, and they took to the battlefield to defend their holand.
However, there were just too many mystical beasts, and when compared to the beast tide, they were as tiny as ants.
Qiu Moyuan, the lord of Crimson Fla City, watched as his fellow citizens fell one by one, his eyes becoming red from the distress.
“Lord, we can’t hold on much longer. The mystical beasts are about to breach the city!”
A blood-soaked officer rushed up to him, his voice filled with grief.
At this point, only won, children, and the elderly remained within the city.
Once the city gates were breached, those defenseless citizens would beco prey for the mystical beasts.
Qiu Moyuan struggled to keep his voice steady. “Have no rcenaries arrived from Tong City or Shang City?”
“No! Soone ca last night, perhaps knowing that this beast tide was unlike any before, but no one else has co to support us.”
“What about reinforcents from the Dingyang Kingdom?”
The expression on the officer’s blood-soaked face turned grim. “Our ssengers sent to request reinforcents have not returned with any news.”
They might have been devoured by the mystical beasts.
But there was another possibility: they were detained by the military.
Qiu Moyuan had never imagined that Crimson Fla City would see such a day..
