Chapter 427 Terrifying Beast Tide
"Um."
Mint said: "The Death Mountain is on the border of Dingyang, tens of thousands of miles away, how do you plan to go, master? Shall I ask someone to prepare a carriage?"
"The carriage is too slow, I will go by myself."
Based on her cultivation, it only takes about one day and one night to reach the Death Mountain. If she rides a horse, it will take several times the time.
After explaining, Gu Qingluan left the Junfu directly.
…
Chiyan City is the closest city in Dingyang Kingdom to the Death Mountain. It was originally just a small town. As more and more people went to the Death Mountain to hunt for treasure, the town gradually expanded and evolved into a city.
Chiyan City was originally not called Chiyan City, but Lincheng.
It is close to the Death Mountain, and there are often mysterious beasts to harass it. It is rumored that there was a large beast tide, and Lincheng suffered countless casualties.
After that, the city lord felt that flames could drive away beasts. When rebuilding the city, he specially built a red city wall and renamed it Red Flame City.
Crimson Flame City is already familiar with dealing with beast hordes. Every time a beast horde comes, the mercenaries staying in Chiyan City will be hired by the City Lord's Mansion to participate in the defense of the city.
Not only can they get a lot of commission, but as long as they kill the profound beasts, they all belong to them.
The whole body of a mysterious beast is a treasure, whether it is hard fur, sharp minions, or the inner alchemy of a mysterious beast, you can sell it.
Therefore, every time a beast horde strikes, there are not a few commissions for accepting tasks, and there are even quite a few commissions just waiting to make a fortune at this time.
The mercenaries in Scarlet Flame City today thought it was an ordinary beast swarm, and excitedly accepted the task issued by the city lord's mansion, only to realize that this time the mercenary swarm was very different when defending the city.
From morning to night, waves of mysterious beasts came, seemingly endlessly.
The number of mysterious beasts is larger than ever before, even if the strength is so much stronger than before, can they let people live?
The defensive formation of Chiyan City is considered very strong. Under such a beast tide, it only lasted for less than half a day.
And the mercenaries who fell were countless.
All the people in Chiyan City are soldiers. In order to protect their homeland, they also went to the battlefield.
But there are too many mysterious beasts. Compared with the beast hordes, they are as small as ants.
Qiu Moyuan, as the city lord of Chiyan City, watched his compatriots fall one by one, his eyes turned red with discomfort.
"City Master, we can't hold on anymore, the mysterious beast is about to rush into the city!"
A general covered in blood rushed to him and said sadly.
At this time, only women, children, old and young were left in the city.
Once the city gate falls, those city residents who have no resistance will become food for the minions of mysterious beasts.
Qiu Moyuan kept his voice steady: "Are there still no mercenaries coming from Tongcheng and Shangcheng?"
"No! There were still people coming last night. Maybe they know that this beast tide is unprecedented, and no one will come to support it."
"Where are the reinforcements from Dingyang Kingdom?"
The defender's blood-soaked expression was a bit ugly: "There is no news from the person we sent out."
Xu Shi had already died in the mouth of the mysterious beast.
But there is another possibility that it was detained by the army.
Qiu Moyuan never thought that there would be such a day in Chiyan City.
