84: sneak into
“This is an alarm for a Beast Tide attacking the City!”
Inside the City Hall, Zhao Zhongyue, who had been leisurely lying on his seat, immediately got up after hearing the city-wide alarm and rushed out of the building.
“Come out!”
With a sharp shout, a majestic black eagle appeared above the open space in front of Zhao Zhongyue. The black eagle had a wingspan of nearly thirty meters.
Every feather on its body was as black as ink, like a lacquered mirror, reflecting streaks of black metallic luster under the sunlight.
Not only that, but the black eagle also exuded an extremely powerful Aura, having clearly reached the Lord-level.
“Mayor Zhao!”
Just as Zhao Zhongyue was about to step onto the black eagle’s back, preparing to leave the City Hall to investigate the Beast Tide outside the city walls, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, making him pause.
Zhao Zhongyue turned around and saw Su Yuan also running out of the City Hall building behind him.
Zhao Zhongyue immediately said to Su Yuan:
“Su Yuan, there’s a Beast Tide attacking the City now. I need to go to the front lines to command the battle.”
“Do you still remember where the Treasure Room I took you to before is?”
“The two Commander-level Beastmasters guarding the Treasure Room are top-notch Experts and can provide you with enough protection.”
“Take my key and go to the Treasure Room to wait. The situation is unclear now, so remember not to run around. Your safety is more important than anything!”
Saying that, he handed Su Yuan the key that had previously opened the Treasure Room.
This Beast Tide came neither too early nor too late; it just happened to arrive the day after Tianyang City’s core ranking battle ended.
As the Mayor of Tianyang City, Zhao Zhongyue keenly sensed the peculiarity of the situation, suspecting that this was not a simple Beast Tide attacking the City.
It was very likely deliberately orchestrated by those traitors hidden in the dark, with the goal of hunting down the Geniuses of Tianyang City, especially Su Yuan!
But even if the appearance of this Beast Tide was extremely peculiar, Zhao Zhongyue, as the Mayor of Tianyang City and the highest combat power of Tianyang City, had to go to the front lines.
Therefore, he could only let Su Yuan hide in the secret room to avoid possible attacks.
The two Commander-level Beastmasters guarding the secret room were the two strongest Commander-level Beastmasters in Tianyang City’s City Hall.
With those two there, no one could harm Su Yuan unless a Lord-level Expert personally arrived.
“I understand!”
Su Yuan heard this, looked at the solemn-faced Zhao Zhongyue, took the key, and nodded heavily.
Although Su Yuan also wanted to go to the front lines to fight the Beast Tide, Zhao Zhongyue’s words also made him realize that this Beast Tide outbreak might not be a coincidence.
For the sake of his own life, Su Yuan decided to obediently stay in the City Hall and not go anywhere.
If it was truly a Beast Tide caused by hidden enemies to stifle him, a Genius, then as soon as he left Tianyang City’s City Hall, he would inevitably attract assassinations from those enemies.
Even if his strength was not weak and he feared no enemies below Commander-level, once he encountered a Commander-level Expert, even if he used all his trump cards, he would find it difficult to guarantee his own safety.
“Good, be careful yourself!”
Seeing Su Yuan nod in agreement, Zhao Zhongyue no longer hesitated. He immediately leaped up and landed on his Lord-level black eagle Beastmaster.
The black eagle Beastmaster flapped its wings, instantly raising a gust of wind that made Su Yuan’s clothes flutter below, causing him to squint his eyes slightly.
“I should go to the Treasure Room now too.”
Watching the black eagle carry Zhao Zhongyue into a black dot in the sky in the blink of an eye, heading into the distance, Su Yuan gripped the key in his hand and turned to rush in the direction of the Treasure Room.
“Quick! Run! The Beast Tide is catching up!”
“Damn it! This is the only time I forgot to check the almanac before leaving the City, and I actually encountered such a terrifying Beast Tide. Next time I go out, I must check the almanac first!”
“Gale Wolf, faster! You don’t want to be eaten by the Beast Tide behind us, do you!”
“Help, save me, I can’t run anymore!”
………………
Outside the City, at the North City Gate of Tianyang City, facing the Misty Forest.
Hundreds of Beastmasters who had been hunting Vicious Beasts outside were riding their Beastmasters, frantically rushing towards the City Gate as if their lives depended on it.
Behind them, a towering cloud of dust pressed down on them, like a sandstorm rising in the desert.
However, the cause of this towering dust was not the weather, but the dense Vicious Beasts within the dust.
The sky-high dust was entirely sand kicked up by these Vicious Beasts as they stampeded across the ground.
“Quick! Faster, we’re closing the City Gate!”
On the other side, at the North City Gate of Tianyang City, the City Garrison, seeing the more than a hundred people fleeing towards the City Gate in the distance, shouted at the top of their lungs.
At the same time, the City Garrison on the city wall had already activated the cannons on the wall, continuously firing shell after shell into the Beast Tide behind these people.
Hundreds of Gatling guns continuously spat fire, and dense bullets rained down into the Beast Tide, shooting down one Vicious Beast after another that was below Transcendent Level.
Even so, the speed of the Beast Tide outside the City charging towards the city wall remained undiminished.
Among those desperately fleeing Beastmasters, some constantly fell behind as their Beastmasters became exhausted from the long-distance sprint, and in cries of desperate help, they were engulfed by the Beast Tide.
Ultimately, out of more than a hundred Beastmasters, less than half of the survivors managed to escape back into the City.
As the City Garrison captain at the City Gate pressed the City Gate button, the tens of thousands of tons of steel gate crashed down, completely separating the inside and outside of the City.
“That scared me to death; I almost didn’t make it back!”
The dozens of surviving Beastmasters who successfully escaped back were all panting heavily.
Some even jumped directly off their Beastmasters and lay on the ground, their bodies limp, clearly thoroughly frightened.
“Everyone, if you still have strength, please come with us to resist the Vicious Beasts and jointly defend our homeland.”
“If you are already exhausted, please leave immediately!”
At this moment, the City Garrison squad leader who had closed the City Gate said to the dozens of people who had just escaped back, his voice cold.
Without waiting for their response, he led his squad to firmly guard the City Gate controller that operated the City Gate, while summoning all of their Beastmasters to block the outer perimeter.
The City Gate controller was crucial and could not afford any mishaps.
Otherwise, once someone with ulterior motives opened the City Gate, the vast number of Vicious Beasts outside would surely surge in, directly threatening the City.
“Let’s go, get out of here quickly.”
Seeing the City Garrison’s stance, these Beastmasters who had just escaped back did not dare to linger any longer and all moved to leave.
However, one of them stared at the City Gate controller, which was surrounded by a group of City Garrison and their Beastmasters, with a cold glint in his eyes.
If Baldy and others were here, they would certainly recognize this person.
This person was their immediate superior, Blood Crow.
“The Mayor is here!”
Just as Blood Crow was about to make a move to eliminate everyone at the gate and open the City Gate, a cheer suddenly erupted from the city wall.
Hearing these cheers, Blood Crow, who was about to act, immediately dismissed the idea in his mind, lowered his head, and a slight smile played on his lips.
He then blended into the crowd of people who had just escaped back and quickly departed.
