The high tide was near noon, but since morning, mercenaries had been coming to the beach to investigate the situation. As long as the tide rose, the magical beasts that climbed up from the beach would reach the entrance of the small town in a short time. As the time approached, the mercenaries and the soldiers guarding the city were already in position. The old duke also appeared on the city wall behind the port with a gorgeous magic staff. That was the place where the magic beasts were most likely to attack. The city lord, who was wearing a full set of heavy armor, appeared on the city gate. This distribution was obviously because they did not know where the strongest magic beast would appear. Due to the terrain, the city gate would not be directly hit by the tide, but the port would be. However, the experience of several magical beast attacks made people understand that the city gate was also the focus of magical beast attacks. Although they were all magic beasts from the sea, most of them could move freely on land. The magic beasts that came up from the beach would often gather together and attack the city gate directly.
I walked around leisurely and greeted Old Duke. To me, no matter where it appears, it can't escape my senses. With my powerful spiritual sense, as long as that magical beast appears within a thousand meters of me, I will immediately know its location, even if it is hiding in the tide. All this while, even I myself was curious about the creation of spiritual perception. It wasn't seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, or feeling, but I knew that there seemed to be the same world in my mind, and every change in it would be clearly reflected in my mind.
When it was close to noon, the tide finally arrived as expected. A deafening whistle came from the depths of the sea. As the whistle approached, the sound gradually turned from low to high. Along with the whistling sound, a huge wave that was hundreds of feet high appeared. In the wave, all kinds of magical beasts were faintly visible. In just a short while, the huge wave had pushed hundreds of meters towards the seaside. Wherever it went, any ships or buildings were swept away. Fortunately, the mercenaries by the beach had already left the beach when the whistle sounded. Otherwise, in the face of this huge wave that was comparable to a forbidden spell, anyone would probably end up with their bones shattered. Even so, the mercenaries, who had witnessed the power of nature for the first time, were still trembling with fear, deeply awed by the might of nature. However, the experienced soldiers and mercenaries didn't even bother to feel the majestic aura. They knew that the real battle was about to begin. If they were distracted in the battle, they would be the only ones in trouble.
The waves finally reached the end. At this time, the simple port had long disappeared. The huge wave traveled over a hundred meters and heavily slammed into the city wall behind it. Just when I thought that the wall would collapse and knew that things were bad, I realized that it was like an arrow at the end of its flight. Under the reinforcement of earth magic, the city wall, which had already suffered countless waves of attacks, was still standing firmly. Only countless magic beasts had broken their bones and tendons on the city wall. I couldn't help but clap my hands and cheer. Even an Intermediate Magical Beast would only end up heavily injured if it crashed into the city wall at such a high speed. The tide slowly receded, leaving behind a large number of Magical Beasts on the beach, aggressively charging towards the city wall. On the other side of the city wall, there were already corpses that were tens of feet tall.
I carefully observed the magical beasts that were charging towards the city gates. I discovered that a large portion of them looked no different from ordinary fish. However, if it were any other fish, they would have been jumping around and waiting for death after leaving the water and landing on the beach. However, they were completely different. Each of them was like a dolphin on Earth, sliding forward with their fins. The big ones were nearly ten feet long and weighed thousands of kilograms. The small ones weighed hundreds of kilograms. There were also giant sea snakes that were hundreds of feet long, giant sea frogs that were as big as tables, octopuses with tentacles that were more than ten feet long, and crabs that were as tall as a person. There were all kinds of things that could be found on Earth, and they were all enlarged versions. Although there were not many of them, just looking at their size, one could tell that they were not easy to deal with.
I paid special attention to the giant sea frog. Although it wasn't very big, just the dense energy aura on its body was enough to let me know that it was my target this time. Also, the golden line it revealed every time it jumped attracted my attention. This was a very special kind of magical beast. Its uniqueness was reflected in its growth rate. Ordinary magical beasts, even holy beasts, were already destined to be of a higher grade when they were born. For example, a low-grade holy beast that had just been born not long ago. Although its strength was insufficient, it was still a holy beast. Even if it was only equivalent to the seventh rank or lower, even a ninth rank magical beast would not dare to provoke it easily. Its magic core was also obtained from the holy beast grade. However, these sea frogs were different. They were only third-grade when they were born, and as they continued to devour the magic nuclei of other magic beasts, their magic nuclei would continue to grow. Moreover, as the attributes of the magic nuclei devoured were different, its own attributes would also change. There was a high possibility that it would become a multi-attribute magic beast. In other words, it would produce additional magic nuclei of other attributes. The difference in levels was reflected in the color of the lines on the abdomen. Like the one in front of me, the lines on its abdomen are golden. In other words, it has already experienced the evolution of white, red, orange, green, blue, silver, and gold. It should have reached the level of a holy beast now.
The reason why I have such a deep understanding of it is because I once saw the magic core of this kind of magic beast in Chief Ka Lie's treasure trove. Moreover, it was only a grade-9 magic core of a silvery-white Silver Thread Sea Frog. Even if it was only a grade-9 magic core, it had already become one of Chief Ka Lie's proud collections. Because to evolve to this extent, it was already extremely rare for a Sea Frog that started off as a grade-3 magic beast. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see a Gold Thread Sea Frog here. I couldn't help but feel grateful to that god who I didn't know existed.
I had originally thought that we would be engaging in a battle to attack and defend the city. However, I didn't expect that as the city gates opened, groups of mercenaries would rush out of the city gates and stand on the left side of the city gates. Following that, under the leadership of the swordsmen captain, the swordsmen of the small city also left the city gates and formed a line on the right side of the city gates. On the city wall, the mages and archers were already on standby under the protection of the remaining swordsmen.
By the time the magic beasts at the front were about to reach the city wall, the old duke had already arrived with the experts beside him. Although he didn't have a powerful spiritual sense like mine, which allowed him to see through the strength of the magic beasts from afar, he could easily tell where the main focus of their attack was from the number of magic beasts. The magical beasts were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they lined up less than a thousand meters away from the city wall, as if they were waiting for the magical beasts behind them to come and meet up. The old duke and the castellan in front of the city wall frowned secretly, and many mercenaries and soldiers began to turn pale. They had never encountered such a situation before when the magical beasts attacked. To me, this wasn't anything strange. After all, I had met a few Sacred Beasts on Dragon Island. They had complete control over the magical beasts in their territory. Putting aside simple formations, it wasn't impossible for them to even perform a military demonstration. After all, the intelligence of Sacred Beasts wasn't much inferior to humans.
After the two sharp and ear-piercing sounds of croaking, the magical beasts began to rush toward the city wall in a frenzy, while the Giant Goldthread Frog and a few high-level magical beasts nearby stayed behind. Looking at the magical beasts that surged towards me like a tide, I couldn't help but feel my blood boil. I was used to using guns and ammunition, and I had never seen such a scene before. Looking at the people around me who were grinding their fists and palms, my fighting spirit began to rise.
Very soon, the magical beasts and the people below the city were engaged in close combat. The mercenaries were mostly in small groups, and many of the groups had a variety of professions. Even if there were mages and archers, they did not stay on the city wall. Instead, they chose to stay with their teammates. They cooperated well. Usually, the swordsmen or knights would block the attacks of the magical beasts from the front, and the mages and archers from the back would seriously injure the magical beasts. The thieves would distract the magical beasts. Priests were responsible for casting support spells or healing injuries. At this moment, I realized that Roger's swordsmanship wasn't as bad as I had originally thought. If we were in a small mercenary team like this, then the responsibility of a swordsman would be to face the attacks of magical beasts head-on. In that case, facing them head-on would be the only choice. It seemed that I had been wrong.
The attacking magic beasts were only mid to low-level magic beasts. As long as they were careful, they would not cause too much damage to the mercenaries and soldiers. Moreover, there was no lack of experts among the mercenaries. With the support of the mages and archers on the city wall, after nearly four hours of fighting, the magic beasts began to slowly collapse. Although the appearance of a few magical beasts of the sixth rank had caused some casualties among the mercenaries and soldiers, they were soon defeated by the experts. Even I couldn't help but be shocked by the strength of the mercenaries. I found five master swordsmen and three magister mages. Just the Bravehearts Mercenary Group alone had two master swordsmen and two mage trainers. Although I didn't know much about the situation on the continent, I could tell that Duke William only had two master swordsmen (Mark and the city lord) by his side. This was already quite shocking. Furthermore, their leader, Sword Saint Chevelde, wasn't even present.
The other three Great Swordsmen belonged to three different mercenary groups. What surprised me was that one of them was actually a girl. Although she was wearing heavy armor and a helmet, I couldn't see her face clearly. However, just the limpid water in her eyes was enough to cause people to have endless fantasies. The other Great Swordsmen were all middle-aged, but she definitely wasn't older than 25 years old. She was a knight, and her mount was actually a young earth dragon.
Although the dragons did not recognize the Drake, it still had a portion of the dragon race's bloodline. An adult Drake could reach a height of more than three meters, and its entire body was covered in thick scales. It was a powerful magical beast at the upper level of the eighth rank. Although it could not fly or use magic, the dragon breath that it inherited from the dragons gave it powerful long-range attacks. Its powerful resistance to physical attacks made it fearless against any magical beast at the ninth rank in close combat. It was the ideal mount that knights dreamed of. Although her dragon was only a young one, it was not inferior to a high-grade magical beast of the seventh rank. Coupled with her power as a Great Swordsman, she could even fight against a Sword Saint.
