Summoning the Strongest Emperor of the Heavens - Chapter 76
Southern Border, Kaiyang City, Hou’s Mansion.
In the huge hall, there was a gloomy atmosphere at this time.
Liu Yan rubbed his eyebrows, his face dark.
The information about the beast tide in Baicheng has been sent, and at this moment, Liu Yan has an incomparable headache.
“How’s the situation?”
However, Liu Yan understood that this was not the time to be angry, and asked Di Renjie who had just come in.
“Reporting to the lord, the situation is not very good. Although Baicheng has been defended, the losses are also extremely heavy.
Half of the city walls of Baicheng were breached by the beast tide, and the nearby villages were also hit by the beast tide. No one was spared, and very few people survived.
However, a batch of supplies led by Commander Lu is already on the way, and the second batch of supplies from Dr. Jia Wen and He Bian has also left Kaiyang, and General Hua Xiong has long since taken Xiliang Iron Cavalry to Baicheng for support. , the situation should be stabilized for the time being. “
Di Renjie’s face was also not very good-looking. The sudden surge of beasts was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Let Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si and the others go, there must be a reason for the outbreak of the beast swarm, give me a thorough investigation!”
Although Liu Yan’s complexion was a little better, but when he thought that he had just entered the Southern Border not long ago, this kind of thing happened.
Although the beast tide has not appeared in the southern border before, but it was more than a hundred years ago.
Moreover, in the past, most of the beast tides were collective predatory behaviors led by beasts led by monsters that gave birth to intelligence. It was only because their predatory behavior was extremely destructive that it was defined as a disaster.
However, as far as he knows, in the Wulie Mountains, there has been no monster beasts that give birth to intelligence a long time ago, and there has never been a beast tide.
Then why did it suddenly appear at this time?
According to the information from Zhou Hong, there was no trace of monsters in this beast wave.
The strangest thing is that even if the beasts at the forefront were hit by arrows, they didn’t show any signs of retreating when they were burned. They just rushed to the city wall with all their might, as if they were crazy.
So Liu Yan always felt that there must be other reasons for this.
…………
White City.
Lu Bing led his 100 Jinyiwei and the first batch of disaster relief supplies on their way overnight.
After just one day, he arrived at Baicheng.
Just as he entered the boundary of Baicheng, Lu Bing was enveloped by a pungent smell of blood.
Then what caught Lu Bing’s eyes was a piece of dilapidated wreckage.
The corpses of wild beasts and the corpses of the common people were mixed together, and the warriors covered in wounds tirelessly searched for people who might be alive in the corpses.
The cry of the child seemed so bleak in the cold mist.
“Hurry up and unload the supplies, and join them in disaster relief.”
Lu Bing gave the order expressionlessly.
But the scarlet penetrating the corners of his eyes showed the anger in his heart.
He then rushed to the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.
At this time, the Baicheng City Lord’s Mansion was full of wounded, including soldiers and ordinary people.
Lu Bing walked into the main hall quickly, while Hua Xiong had been waiting here for a long time.
“Brother Lu, you are finally here. Are those Doctor Bian here?”
Seeing Hua Xiong’s anxious look, Lu Bing said:
“Dr. Bian and the others are preparing medicinal materials, so they will be one step behind me. Now they are on their way with Jun-shi Jia, but they are almost there. What’s wrong with you?”
Hua Xiong sighed and said:
“Zhou Hong and Xu Dayong were both injured while defending the city. They are lying in a coma in bed now. I think Doctor Bian Que will come to see him.”
Hearing this, Lu Bing’s eyes turned gloomy again.
Even the city lord was in a coma, enough to see the brutality of this beast swarm.
Then he took out a white jade medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Hua Xiong, saying:
“This is the medicinal pill that Doctor Bian made. I specially brought it here. You can give it to both of them first.”
“Um.”
Hua Xiong took the medicine pill.
But just as he was about to turn around, he remembered something and said, “Brother Lu, this beast tide seems a little weird.”
Lu Bing raised his brows slightly.
“How to say?”
“The first wave of beasts was over when I brought my troops, but another wave came later, but it was blocked by my troops.
However, when we fought, I found that although they were just ordinary beasts, each one seemed to have no pain. “
After Hua Xiong finished speaking, Lu Bing’s brows also frowned.
Indeed, beasts are not warriors, and warriors may rush to kill for some reason in order to win, for the sake of their country, and for some reason.
But beasts are not warriors. They are afraid of pain, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and sometimes they are even more cowardly than humans.
Judging from Zhou Hong’s previous intelligence and what Hua Xiong said this time, these beasts seemed to be going mad.
It would be a bit strange to say that one or two might have some kind of disease, but a large group of beasts did this at the same time.
Lu Bing instinctively felt that there might be other reasons.
…………
As Lu Bing said.
Jia Xu and Bian Que’s team were not much slower than Lu Bing and the others.
They also arrived in Baicheng only two hours after Lu Bing arrived.
Since the beast hordes were mostly injured by trauma, after all the years of war before, various pharmacies have some reserves of medicinal materials for the treatment of trauma.
Bian Que also quickly prepared a batch of medicinal materials and rushed over with Jia Xu.
And Jia Xu left the team alone before everyone entered Baicheng.
…………
In a small village outside Baicheng City, there are corpses everywhere, broken houses, and traces of tyranny everywhere.
Jia Xu casually flipped over a corpse, and the vague flesh and blood had obviously been hit by some huge force.
“Jia Jun, you are here.”
A figure appeared behind Jia Xu like a ghost.
“Commander Lu~www.mtlnovel.com~ You can either call me military division, or just call me by my name, don’t teach me military division Jia, okay?”
Jia Xu angrily looked at Lu Bing beside him.
Lu Bing smiled, and then asked seriously, “Do you think there is any problem?”
Jia Xu did not answer immediately, but asked in a erratic tone:
“Usually the beast tide is for predation, right?”
Lu Bing nodded, Jia Xu continued to ask:
“It’s just spring, and it’s time for all things to recover. It stands to reason that food should be plentiful, so why don’t they come in winter when food is the most scarce, but come at this time?”
Saying that, Jia Xu pointed to the horrific corpse on the ground.
“Although the dead villagers are **** and horrible to see, there is no sign of being eaten. Does this look like predation?”
At this moment, Lu Bing also had a stern expression on his face, and said coldly, “You mean that someone is behind deliberately manipulating the beast tide to attack the city?”
“I don’t know, I’m not sure, this is just a direction of investigation, let’s go back to Baicheng first.”
Jia Xu was only guessing at this time, and the top priority now should be to appease the hearts of the people.
…………
At this time, deep in the Wulie Mountains.
The bottom of the valley shrouded in blood mist emits a strange red light from time to time.
Beneath the blood mist was a pitch-black lake, exuding a disgusting stench.
Suddenly, a filthy vine burst out from the bottom of the lake, breaking the eerie tranquility.
