White Cloud City.
Out of the three city gates in the north, the main gate and one side gate had already been shut down. Only the other side gate was open for the cavalry to enter and exit.
The White Cloud City had sent out more than 20 teams of Wandering Cavalry. Each team had ten people, and they were patrolling about 20 miles south of the Tianzhu Mountains.
These roaming cavalry were strictly ordered not to probe any further.
At the same time, the Shadow Secret Guards had all left the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
On the city gate tower, Li Lin was fully armored, holding the Black Dragon Spear in his hand and the Abyss Rainbow Sword at his waist. He was patrolling the city defense.
Hundreds of Zhuge Repeating Ballistae were carried up the city gate tower and loaded.
In addition, there were twenty mid grade ballistae on each wall.
The power was stronger, and the arrows were thicker and longer, like spears.
This kind of mid-grade ballista could only fire a single shot. After aiming, as long as it hit, a Connate Blood Solidification realm expert would die. Even a Connate Marrow Cleansing realm expert would be heavily injured if hit.
They were all signed in within three years.
More than a hundred mid quality ballistae and hundreds of Zhuge repeating ballistae were transported to Youzhou by the 50,000 Tianjie Army to strengthen the defense of Youzhou.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, there is movement outside the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.”
"Report!"
"Your Highness, there are already ferocious beasts outside the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.”
"Report!"
"Your Highness, all the roaming cavalry have retreated. The beast tide is approaching a hundred miles away!”
……
The news brought back by the roaming cavalry made Li Lin and the others 'expressions turn solemn.
"Young Master, the martial artists in the city and the people from the various aristocratic families have the obligation to protect the city!”
Fa Zheng opened his mouth.
Nodding his head, Li Lin passed down the military order.”
"I'm here!"
"Order all the Xiantian realm and above martial artists in the city to enter the city to assist in the defense within fifteen minutes. Those who fail to do so within the time limit will be expelled from White Cloud City!”
"Here!"
Gao Shun received the order and turned around to lead his men to carry out the mission.
Ta, ta, ta…
Gao Shun had just left when a series of hurried footsteps approached. Turning his head to look, he saw a youth dressed in a blue robe from the White Cloud Academy.
In the White Cloud Academy, there were two types of robes for students.
One was a green-robed ordinary disciple.
The other type was white, and they were inner disciples.
He also embroidered a book, a sword, and a star on his sleeves to differentiate the Confucian, Martial, and Spiritual Sects.
The one who came was precisely an armament ordinary disciple.
"Your Highness, the Headmaster said that the two of them will be guarding the city. If there are spirit beasts, they will come immediately.”
"Got it. Tell the two gentlemen not to make a move for the time being. If there is a need, this king will send a signal.”
"Yes, disciple obeys."
The disciple of the Academy cupped his hands in salute, then turned around and ran away in a hurry.
Within fifteen minutes, there were more than four hundred martial artists in the city who had reached the Connate Realm and above. They carried their sabers and swords to the White Cloud City Tower.
They were arranged behind the front row of soldiers.
If a ferocious beast climbed up the city wall or needed to rush down the city tower to kill it, they would have to take action.
These martial artists also knew that if they didn't come, they wouldn't be able to handle King Jing's trouble after this battle, let alone what would happen to the army in Patrol City.
After White Cloud City was breached, they would not be able to escape from the city.
Therefore, he might as well join the city defense obediently and fight. Perhaps he might have a chance to get a share of Xiantian realm vicious beast meat.
The beast tide was a disaster, but at the same time, once they survived it, the distribution of the spoils of war would definitely be a great benefit.
The other beasts would not drag away the corpses of the beasts that were killed. They would all become the spoils of war for humans.
Of course, the prerequisite was that you successfully resisted the attacks of these ferocious beasts!
"Order the troops to get ready!"
"Here!"
Dong, dong, dong…
The sound of the war drums rang out, spreading for more than ten miles. The other three walls heard the sound of the war drums and responded.
After that, all the gates were closed, and the army waited quietly.
In the city, when they heard the war drums on the city tower, the commoners hid in their homes and looked toward the north worriedly.
At the back of King Jing's residence, Xu Chu commanded the Iron Eagle Guards to guard the surroundings. Dozens of secret guards were hiding in the dark.
Cai Yan wore a dress, while Shangguan Yunlan put on a leather armor made of spirit beast skin and a sword hung on his waist.
"General Xu Chu, go to the city tower and protect His Highness. Zhang Han is enough.”Cai Yan looked to the north and instructed Xu Chu, who was standing nearby.
" Princess Consort, His Highness has ordered me to guard the two Princess Consorts here…"
"Go to North City. North City needs you more. With Zhang Han and BenGong here, big sister will be fine.”Shangguan Yunlan also said.
“……. Here, I will obey your orders."
After Xu Chu cupped his hands in agreement, he looked at Liu Ben and said,"You command the Iron Eagle Guard and listen to General Zhang Han's orders.”
"Here!"
Then, Xu Chu quickly left the house and rode a dragon horse toward the north gate.
In the direction of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, a black line appeared. Then, it became more and more obvious. Then, on the city wall, they felt a tremor.
Soon, the beasts appeared in front of the people on the city gate. Although they were still more than ten miles away, everyone could feel the madness and panic of the beast tide ahead.
Yes, panic.
There was a sense of panic among the various ferocious beasts that were galloping over.
It was as if there was something terrifying chasing them away from behind.
"Caw!"
In the sky, a sharp sound that could pierce through metal and stone rang out. Everyone looked up and saw a black mass of flying beasts rapidly approaching White Cloud City.
According to their flying speed, it would not take long for them to reach the sky above White Cloud City.
"Holy Arrow Army, listen up!"
"Here!"
The Holy Arrow Army under the city wall responded in unison.
"If a flying beast descends, kill it immediately!”
"Understood!"
"Get into formation!" Huang Zhong, the commander of the Holy Arrow Army, shouted. The five thousand Holy Arrow Army soldiers immediately got into formation in the wide area of the north gate. Sharp arrow energies formed, but they didn't fire.
All the soldiers of the Holy Arrow Army drew their bows and loaded their arrows, ready to attack at any moment.
"Caw!" "Ji!"
Sharp screeches could be heard as tens of thousands of flying beasts approached the White Cloud City.
A portion of them immediately flew higher after sensing the bloodthirsty aura in the city below. At the same time, they circled around White Cloud City as if they were planning to return to the other side of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
As for the flying beasts that were not very smart, they flew straight towards White Cloud City.
"Get ready!"
Swoosh! The soldiers of the Holy Arrow Army pulled their bowstrings.
"Release!"
Whoosh! In an instant, thousands of heavy arrows shot into the sky with the support of the battle formation. The blood-red light on the arrowheads was especially eye-catching under the blue sky.
Chi chi chi…
The sharp arrows pierced through the bodies of the ferocious beasts that were coming down. After struggling for a while, the ferocious beasts fell down one after another.
A blood rain of ferocious beasts also fell from the sky.
"Get ready!"
"Release it again!"
Whoosh! They drew their bows and shot out sharp arrows again and again. These flying beasts, who were at most in the Tendon Changing Realm, were no match for them. In just a moment, the Divine Arrow Army had cleared all the flying beasts that were flying down.
As for the other birds above the Connate level, they flapped their wings and quickly left.
