n

n

nHe Chuan watched the soldiers under his command die one after another and even had to drag a strange beast along with them before they died.

n

nHe felt a great pain in his heart.

n

nA feeling of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

n

nBut there was nothing he could do. There were too many strange beasts. He had to protect the magic crystal cannon first and had no time to help the soldiers who were in danger.

n

nThis was the choice he had to make.

n

n“For Glory City, for the City Lord!”

n

nA soldier’s chest was bitten through by the Cerberus, but there was no pain shown on his face.

n

nBlood flowed out from his chest. He raised his enchanted spear and used all the strength in his body to stab it into its chest.

n

nThe Cerberus, who didn’t have time to react, had its throat pierced by the spear. It whimpered a few times and fell to the ground with the soldier.

n

nUntil the moment of death, the soldier still had a smile on his face.

n

nThat was because he killed another strange beast in the end, and Glory City’s victory had increased a bit.

n

nIt was unknown whether it was tears or blood, but it slid down from the corner of He Chuan’s eyes.

n

n“Die!” He roared toward the sky, and the demonic knife in his hand slashed toward the head of the Griffin at the front.

n

nJust as He Chuan was about to retract his saber, a chill suddenly came from the back of his head. A sense of danger enveloped his heart, and he broke out in a cold sweat!

n

nThree feathers shot towards his back in a zigzag pattern!

n

nSo it was the leader of the Griffins who took the opportunity when He Chuan was not paying attention to launch a sneak attack from behind!

n

nSpurt!

n

nThe pain that he imagined did not come.

n

nA soldier did not care about his own safety, and just as the feathers were about to hit He Chuan, he used his body to block the attack.

n

n“No!” He Chuan turned around and looked at the leader of the Griffins angrily. He wished that he could tear the other party into pieces!

n

n“It is my greatest honor to die for the City Lord. Please lead… lead Glory City… to victory!” The soldier slowly closed his eyes and ultimately lost his breath.

n

n“I promise you! I will lead Glory City to victory. You can leave in peace!” He Chuan adjusted his breathing. He could not let his anger get to his head.

n

nHe had almost lost his lost his calm just now.

n

nIf it were not for the soldiers who had risked their lives to save him, he would have died or been injured!

n

nWhoosh!

n

nThe black saber light streaked across the sky. He Chuan poured his spiritual energy into the demonic Buddhist monk knife.

n

nThe huge knife shadow traversed a hundred meters in the sky, splitting the leader of the Griffins who was trying to escape into two!

n

n“You want to escape? Have you asked my knife?” How could He Chuan let his enemy go? Even though the saber had consumed a lot of spiritual energy, he did not regret it.

n

nHe Chuan didn’t have time to rest. He continued to fly into the sky because there were so many strange beasts that he couldn’t kill them all.

n

nThe war was still going on. The number of deaths of both humans and strange beasts was continuously increasing.

n

nThe Earth Dragon Turtle pressed down a soldier and opened its bloody mouth to swallow him.

n

nThe soldier’s neck was severely mutilated, and his vital signs gradually disappeared.

n

nBefore he died, his longsword had pierced through the Earth Dragon Turtle’s eyes!

n

nHe Chuan could only kill more strange beasts to pay tribute to the dead soldier.

n

nBecause he wanted to lead Glory City to continue on, this was an opportunity that countless people had exchanged their life with.

n

nHe clenched the demonic knife in his hand even tighter, and his gaze became more and more determined.

n

nAt this moment, it was useless to blame himself. He couldn’t bring the dead back to life!

n

nThe knife in his hand slashed down, and blood splattered everywhere!

n

nAnother strange beast’s life was harvested.

n

nHe Chuan was like a machine that didn’t know fatigue, continuously harvesting the lives of strange beasts.

n

nThe more strange beasts he killed, the more his soldiers would avoid the fate of death.

n

nThe reality was always very cruel. No matter how strong He Chuan was, he was still a single person. The number of beasts he could kill was limited.

n

nAt this time, the next wave of strange beasts also began to attack. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and charged angrily toward Glory City.

n

nThe tall city walls were piled with the corpses of exotic beasts, becoming the stepping stones for the next wave of strange beasts to attack the city.

n

n“Huft!” A soldier used his enchanted spear to throw the corpses of strange beasts to the side, breathing in the air that reeked of blood.

n

nThen, a Cerberus pounced at him once more.

n

nIts sharp claws glowed with a faint blue light!

n

nThe continuous battle made him physically and mentally exhausted. His arms seemed to weighted tons, making it extremely difficult for him to lift them up again.

n

nHe lowered his head and looked at the corpse of his companion beside him. The power of anger swept through his entire body in an instant!

n

nThe fatigue and pain disappeared. He didn’t know whether he would live or die after the spear was thrust out.

n

nThere was no difference between sitting and waiting for death and being a coward.

n

nIf he didn’t try, how would he know that he couldn’t do it!

n

nOnly by retreating could he have a chance of survival?

n

nBut what if he couldn’t retreat?

n

nThe City Lord was still slaughtering, and his comrades were fighting with all their might to prevent the strange beasts from breaking through the defense line!

n

n“Die for me!” The soldier quickly thrust out his enchanted spear.

n

nThe Cereberus’s body was pierced through.

n

nEveryone was fighting with all their might!

n

nNo matter how high the rank of the officer was, no matter how low the rank of the soldier was.

n

nEveryone had only one goal at this moment, to protect Glory City.

n

nThe continuous drizzle fell at an unknown time.

n

nHowever, it could not cover up the smell of blood.

n

nWhen the civilians in the city heard the shouting outside, their eyes were filled with tears!

n

nThe soldiers were all heroes of Glory City. Without their sacrifice, Glory City would not be what it is now. Everyone was a good person.

n

nEven if they died, they would not regret it!

n

nSome people knelt on the ground, begging for the help of the gods. Some people kept repeating the names of the soldiers.

n

nThey were their children!

n

nThe soldiers had the same thought in their hearts. Behind them were their wives and children, old and young!

n

nThere was no retreat!

n

nThe beast tide was like a wave, and the soldiers were a school of unyielding fish.

n

nThe school of fish sought a place to survive in the waves. The waves could not destroy them!

n

nThe demonic knife in He Chchuan’s hand had been soaked in blood, and his forehead was covered in sweat!

n

nThe strange beasts continued to charge at the city walls, trying to break through this steel line of defense.

n

n“Brothers! Victory is not far away. Everyone, follow me and continue to kill!” He chuan wiped the sweat off his forehead and took the lead to charge forward!

n

nHearing the City Lord’s shout, the soldiers advanced fearlessly!

n

nOne side would fall today!

n

nEither Glory City would be destroyed, or they would push back this wave of mutated beasts!

n

nGlory City, which was bathed in blood, became the focus of attention of all parties!

n

nThe Crown Prince sat in front of the magic mirror and watched the scene of the beast tide attacking.

n

n“I used the Beast Soul Grass from two years ago on this beast tide. It can anger the nerves of the mutated beasts and make them even crazier! No matter how powerful He Chuan is, Glory City will not be able to withstand it!” The military advisor stood beside the Crown Prince, his tone full of confidence.

n

nThe crown prince was very satisfied with the tragic state of Glory City.

n

nA city in exchange for a stable throne, no matter how one looked at it, it was very worth it!

n

nHe did not care about the lives of the commoners at all. As long as he could keep his position as the Crown Prince, sooner or later, he would be the one in charge of the Wu Kingdom!

n

n“Haha, you did well this time! When I ascend to the throne, I will guarantee that you will become the Imperial Advisor!” The Crown Prince stroked his chin, enjoying the attack of the beast tide with interest.

n

nThe military advisor revealed a look of joy. He supported the Crown Prince for the sake of glory and wealth.

n

n“His Majesty is already old and decrepit. The Wu Kingdom will belong to you sooner or later. However, to prevent any unforeseen changes, I have another suggestion. I don’t know if I should speak of it!” The military advisor said carefully.

n

n“Speak!” The Crown Prince was clearly in a good mood. He waved his hand and said

n

n“There is a colorless and tasteless yellow swallow grass. It nourishes the body and is colorless and tasteless. Ordinary people eat it to strengthen their bodies. However, it is a life-threatening allure for those who are plagued by diseases,” The military advisor whispered into the Crown Prince’s ear.

n

nIt was the same when one could not receive nourishment.

n

nIf the tonic was used properly, it could become a poison!

n

nThe Crown Prince’s face was as dark as water. In the end, he said sternly, “Find a death warrior to do it. Remember to erase all traces.”
