Yueyang City.
As its na suggests, it’s a large city in Yan Country, rich in ancient charm.
But at this mont, it is surrounded by a sea of Fierce Beasts.
Amid the roar of firearms, countless Fierce Beasts surge toward the city walls.
Warplanes are screaming in the air, yet in the next mont, so are struck down by flying Fierce Beasts, trailing thick black smoke as they crash to the ground.
Not only that, a large number of flying Fierce Beasts are dropping Fierce Beasts into the city, and innurable burrowing Fierce Beasts are erging from underground.
The Fierce Beasts still use the sa tactic.
Attacking from the ground, underground, and sky simultaneously.
Simple yet deadly.
Yueyang City, after all, is a major city and hasn’t collapsed instantly like a dium-sized city; the people inside are fighting back desperately.
But clearly, to the discerning eye, the fall of Yueyang City in the face of endless Beast Tide is only a matter of ti.
"City Lord, we can’t hold on, it’s ti to retreat."
A man drenched in blood looks towards the person in front of him and says.
In the past two days, the Fierce Beasts have attacked three or four tis; they seem endless, impossible to kill completely.
This ti, the situation in Yueyang City has escalated to the point where even the City Lord must personally deal with the Fierce Beasts inside the city.
If they don’t leave, once the city walls are breached, it will beco difficult.
"Hold on a little longer."
Yueyang City’s City Lord wipes the blood off his face and says, "Headquarters just called , they said support is arriving soon."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, those around him show expressions of disbelief.
When the Beast Tide ca, they had of course asked headquarters and so nearby large cities for support.
The result?
All queries fell like stones into the sea.
They all understand.
At this mont, it’s difficult enough for everyone to defend their own territory, let alone spare manpower to support others.
"But City Lord."
Soone licks their lips and says, "Even if headquarters sends people, it won’t help, right?"
Others around, hearing this, look around.
It’s all sorts of Fierce Beasts.
This is still inside the city; the numbers outside are even more astonishing.
"Unless those three co personally, otherwise, it’s useless."
A female Awakener smiles bitterly.
"No."
But in the eyes of Yueyang City’s City Lord, a glint of light bursts forth, "Although those three are not coming, the arriving force is absolutely not inferior to them."
"What?"
Everyone is stunned upon hearing this.
Power not inferior to those three?
How is that possible?
The entire Yan Country knows that currently, the strongest are those three S-Class Awakened.
"Is it soone from the Elder Council?"
Soone asks.
Rumor has it that several Noble Families within the Elder Council also have hidden experts. If they had intervened during the battle ten years ago, the catastrophe caused by Fierce Beasts would have ended long ago.
But they didn’t intervene.
This ti, how could they intervene and send people to rescue these individuals?
Yueyang City’s City Lord shakes his head and says, "You’ve heard of this person; his na is Chen Fan."
"Chen Fan?"
"Chen Fan?"
"The person from the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association who single-handedly killed nearly twenty experts, Chen Fan?"
"The one who captured two quasi-S-Class Awakeners, that Chen Fan?"
People’s eyes widen.
"Yes, it’s him."
Yueyang City’s City Lord nods.
"This..."
Everyone is incredulous.
If it’s him coming, there might really be a chance to help them resolve this crisis.
But is such a fortuitous event possible?
None of the people from Yueyang City personally know him, so why would he help them at this mont?
"City Lord! City Lord!"
Just then, a figure rushes over, face filled with excitent.
"City Lord, outside! Outside!"
The figure reaches everyone, a hand pointing outside, too excited to speak coherently.
"What happened outside?"
Soone asks anxiously.
"Outside, the Fierce Beasts are dead, all dead."
The person finally manages to say the whole sentence.
"What? All Fierce Beasts outside are dead?"
"Impossible! Are you hallucinating?"
"So many Fierce Beasts, how could they possibly die?"
Everyone instinctively thinks it’s impossible.
Yet Yueyang City’s City Lord notices a detail.
The sound of firearms has stopped.
Without his command.
The sound of firearms wouldn’t stop.
Unless the city has fallen.
But if that were the case, many Fierce Beasts would surely rush in, and the person in front of him wouldn’t co to inform him of this matter.
Just then, he feels his entire body freeze.
His whole self is fixed in place.
Just for a mont.
The next instant, sothing unbelievable happens.
In his sight, all the Fierce Beasts suddenly collapse to the ground, blood spurting from their heads like fountains.
All Fierce Beasts are dead.
The enormous city falls into an eerie silence.
"Wha-what just happened?"
Soone asks, voice trembling.
He feels as though the entire world paused for a mont.
After that pause, all Fierce Beasts within the city are dead.
Died in a bewildering, inexplicable manner.
Others exchange glances. Though the crisis has been resolved and they ought to be happy, each is instead deeply fearful.
Yueyang City’s City Lord realizes sothing and rushes to the top of the city wall, gasping.
All he sees is the ground below, shattered and covered with chunks of Fierce Beasts, blood flowing like a river.
Others also co over and are stunned speechless by the scene.
"He was here."
Yueyang City’s City Lord finally speaks.
