181: The second beast tide arrived, and aid came from all sides.

After a long while, she said coldly, "How are the preparations?"

"Reporting to the King, everything is ready!"

"Then... launch a full-scale offensive!"

"We obey the King's command!"

"Full-scale offensive!"

"Assemble!"

The entire Baiyue Mountain Range began to vibrate, and countless birds were startled into flight.

Seeing this, the soldiers of Baiyue City quickly sounded the alarm; the beast tide was attacking again.

Cheng Jingjing, Xing Shaoshan, Chen Qingyun, and the other five ministers arrived immediately.

Notified by Little Gu, Chen Fei left the Sacred Codex Space and quickly arrived at the city wall.

A moment later, the beasts reached the edge of the Baiyue Mountain Range.

From atop the city wall, a portion of the beast tide could already be seen.

This time, Third-level Beasts were actually the vanguard, covering the mountains and plains, seemingly endless.

Because they weren't just from the Baiyue Mountain Range; even the Third-level Beasts from the surrounding mountain ranges had all been brought under control, just to crush Baiyue City at this moment.

Fourth-Level Beasts followed closely behind; the second-level beasts were not involved at all.

Among the Fourth-Level Beasts, besides the common Black Slime Worms and Earth-Splitting Demon Worms, there were also Four-winged Celestial Moth Beasts from other war zones, Bamboo Ghosts, Four-Chain Vortex Beasts, Thousand-Faced Mirror Princesses, Fierce-Eyed Evil Spiders... as well as swaths of Necrotic Skeletons, fourth-level Hairy Zombies, and Flesh Golems.

There were nearly 100,000 fourth-level Evil Beasts alone, not to mention the original Fourth-Level Beasts within the Baiyue Mountain Range.

By a rough estimate, there were no fewer than 300,000.

The soldiers on the wall were instantly filled with despair:

"Wait, weren't there only a few dozen Fourth-Level Beasts last time? This time there are over 300,000? How are we supposed to fight this?"

"Exactly, after half a year of recuperation, the number of people in Baiyue City who have advanced to Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer is still less than 2,000. We can't possibly hold them back."

"Even if all the Fourth-Level Beasts in the Baiyue Mountain Range came out, there wouldn't be this many. Many of them are Evil Beasts from other war zones."

"You mean our Eighth War Zone is being targeted? They want to prioritize flattening our Eighth War Zone?"

"From the looks of it, that seems to be the case!"

"Then we're doomed. Last time required King Jiang's intervention. This time, even if King Jiang comes, he won't be able to suppress them, right?"

Indeed, these 300,000 Fourth-Level Beasts were already high-tier fourth-level beings. With only King Jiang alone, it was impossible to stop them.

The most terrifying part wasn't this group of Fourth-Level Beasts, but the row of fifth-tier beasts behind them.

Mianling Ghost Trees, Calamity Heart Lantern Monsters, Four-Horned Sheep Demon Monsters, Bloodthirsty Moss Kings, Black Slime Worm Kings, Bamboo Ghost Kings, Four-winged Celestial Moth Kings, fifth-tier Flying Zombies... there were actually dozens of them in that row.

The Mianling Ghost Tree chuckled, "We've mobilized the Fourth-Level Beasts from the sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and Twelfth War Zones—six war zones in total. Let's see what the humans have to stop us this time."

The Four-Horned Sheep Demon Monster also gave a strange laugh, "With two Kings present, we will surely flatten this wretched city today!"

The Calamity Heart Lantern Monster lurked in mid-air, also wearing an evil smile.

It was summoning even more Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals to join the battle.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the wall grew even more despondent:

"Good heavens, is this an all-out mobilization? Are all the fifth-tier beasts here?!"

"With this lineup, I can't imagine anyone who could stop them."

"Let's retreat. This battle is unwinnable."

However, the soldiers saw Xing Shaoshan standing at the very front, without the slightest intention of retreating.

He looked composed, not showing any fear because of the approaching beast tide.

To prevent the soldiers' morale from collapsing, Xing Shaoshan knew it was time for him to step forward:

"Soldiers, do not panic. We have invited several King-level Beast Tamers to assist us, as well as many Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers.

This battle can be fought!"

Xing Shaoshan spoke with absolute certainty, a confidence that came from the bottom of his heart.

This confidence stemmed from one person: Tuoba Zhiyuan.

If Tuoba Zhiyuan hadn't arrived, Xing Shaoshan truly would have had no confidence.

However, this was just Xing Shaoshan's word, and the soldiers remained skeptical.

It was simply that this beast tide was far too terrifying.

At that moment!

City Master stepped forward and stood suspended in the air: "I, City Master of Tianqing City, have come to assist in the battle."

Nothing was more powerful than a King-level Beast Tamer speaking out.

The soldiers looked over:

"Is that the City Master of Tianqing City? A veteran King-level Beast Tamer, said to be at the 5th rank of the King level."

"But with only one, it's still not enough!"

"Exactly, fighting dozens of fifth-tier Evil Beasts alone is too taxing."

Seeing the soldiers still looking worried, others stepped forward one after another.

"The Principal of Shanhai Academy in Tianqing City, leading the teachers and students of Shanhai Academy, has come to assist!"

"The Principal of Element Academy in Tianqing City, leading the teachers and students of Element Academy, has come to assist!"

"..."

"Bai Yufan of the Bai Family in Tianqing City has come to assist."

"Xia Qingcang of the Xia Family in Tianqing City has come to assist."

"Lin Jie of the Lin Family in Qibao City has come to assist."

"Wei Kang of the Wei Family in Baichong City has come to assist."

"..."

One powerful figure after another appeared, either standing in the air or atop the city walls.

Their backs appeared so solid and reliable.

Besides Tianqing City, the families from cities adjacent to Baiyue City also came to help.

If Baiyue City fell, those cities would be the first to bear the brunt; they had no choice but to come.

Chen Fei saw all of this.

But it also left him baffled: In his previous life, this main force should have been in the Second War Zone. Why did they appear here this time?

It gave the illusion that the final decisive battle had begun early.

Was this change because of him? Or because of Tuoba Zhiyuan?

Chen Fei naturally knew about the butterfly effect; randomly changing a small piece of history could trigger a massive storm in the future.

This time, it was exactly such a massive storm arriving.

The one likely to change this situation was either himself, a Reincarnator, or Tuoba Zhiyuan, a Cycle-traverser.

But regardless, Chen Fei knew he couldn't hold back in this battle.

If he didn't go all out, Baiyue City would surely fall.

Since there was nowhere left to hide, he would ascend to King-level Beast Tamer in this battle, kill the Evil Beasts with all his might, and restore peace to the world.

"Little Gu, prepare to release all five million Third Generation Gu Worms.

Let them kill freely, and turn the world upside down."

At this moment, Chen Fei couldn't care about anything else; he had to get through this immediate crisis first.

Just as Chen Fei decided to reveal all his trump cards, several voices came from the distance.

"Ximen Lingyun of the Ximen Family from the Imperial City has come to assist!"

"Nangong Xingchen of the Nangong Family from the Imperial City has come to assist!"

"Ji Chenfeng of the Ji Family from Lingxiao City has come to assist!"

"..."

This group of people were all survivors who had luckily made it out of the Fierce Land.

Not only did they come in person, but each was accompanied by a King-level Beast Tamer.

In an instant, Baiyue City gained twenty-three more King-level Beast Tamers, causing the morale of the soldiers in Baiyue City to soar!

"Why are you here?" Chen Fei was somewhat surprised. The Imperial City and Lingxiao City were located deep in the rear, quite a distance from the front lines.

Moreover, their families were the ones most severely scammed by Shentu Zhengze; they had every reason not to come.

Ximen Lingyun led Ji Chenfeng, Nangong Xingchen, Jiang Yiyi, Shen Lin, Tang Jian... to Chen Fei, then they all stood at attention: "Reporting to the Captain, the Spirit Guards have finished assembling!"

Chen Fei: ...Captain? Spirit Guards?

What on earth are these?

How do I not know about this at all?
