You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

Another two years passed, and the beast tide became more serious.

During the past two years, many beasts in the North Country have begun to evolve, growing aggressive fangs and forming a stratum corneum on their skin. Some people have even seen that some beasts can actually control the power of qi and blood to use as a means of attack. Combined with their solid leather armor, their strength is almost as strong as that of a great martial arts master.

The beasts began to roam around the country, and gradually spread in all directions. Fortunately, all the residents of the country had migrated to other countries, and there were no humans living in the country anymore.

A layer of haze shrouded the border defenses of four countries near the North China.

In the early morning, as the sky gradually brightened, a strange atmosphere enveloped the entire defense line.

In the distant sky, blood and energy surged, accompanied by deafening roars. It was countless mad beasts approaching the wall of Xingyang Kingdom's northern defense line.

The soldiers at the border rushed up to the city wall and saw countless huge beasts running on the wasteland, their sharp claws and fangs flashing cold light. The cattle and sheep in the villages near the border also became agitated and kept shouting.

Carrier pigeons flew to the imperial city to inform the public of the situation.

The northern defense line of Xingyang State has been a peaceful place for many years, but now it is shrouded in fear and tension. Every soldier knows that they are about to face an unprecedented test.

"Quick! Get ready for battle!" the border commander shouted. His face was full of seriousness, without a trace of fear.

As the order was issued, the soldiers on the city wall quickly took action. They picked up their weapons and lined up neatly on the city wall, waiting for the upcoming battle. They knew they could not retreat, as they had their own parents and loved ones behind them. Their faces were full of determination and they put life and death behind them.

At the same time, the civilians in the village were not idle. They picked up the farm tools in their hands and gathered together to provide logistical support for the soldiers on the front line. They understood that this battle was not just a matter for the army, but for the entire Xingyang country. Only by unity can they defeat the coming beast tide.

The rolling blood and qi were getting closer and closer, and the roars of those mad beasts were becoming clearer and clearer. They were like an unstoppable torrent, surging towards them.

The soldiers in the distance saw the approaching tide of beasts. They could see every kind of animal in the herd, including carnivores with sharp fangs and herbivores with long horns. They all had red eyes and drooling mouths, and the aura of tyranny rushed towards the soldiers.

At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall shouted in unison: "For Xingyang! For our homeland! Fight to the death!" This earth-shaking shout seemed to scare the beasts and make them feel uneasy. However, this was only a brief pause, and they continued to rush towards the city wall.

Finally, the beasts hit the city wall. It was a brutal collision. The first wave of beasts killed countless beasts, but they were not afraid of life or death and continued to attack the city wall. The city wall shook, as if even the earth was shaking. Countless gravel flew up, and smoke and dust filled the entire border.

The scene was tragic, with blood and flesh splattered everywhere, making many young soldiers pale and scared, yes, but so what? No one took a step back.

"Shoot!" With the generals' order, countless arrows flew towards the herd of beasts under the city.

Arrows poured down like a rainstorm, shooting into the herd. Some beasts were hit by arrows and roared loudly, while more arrows left deep wounds on their bodies, causing heavy casualties in the herd.

But the herd did not retreat. The stratum corneum on some animals allowed them to ignore the damage caused by the arrows.

The beasts seemed endless, surging forward wave after wave. The soldiers on the city wall looked solemn, knowing that this was going to be a tough and protracted battle.

As time went by, the arrows on the city wall gradually ran out, but the beasts' attacks became more and more fierce. The beasts seemed to have found a weak point, and some giant beasts with long horns slammed into the city gate fiercely, and each collision made the city gate make a loud noise.

The generals also knew the seriousness of the matter. The city gate could not be lost. Once the city gate was lost, the beasts would be able to march straight in. There was only one way: push the battle line outside the pass and go out to meet the enemy.

The commander guarding the pass explained the situation to everyone, then personally went out of the city to meet the enemy.

The warriors also gritted their teeth, knowing that it was a critical moment and they could not fall behind, so they encouraged themselves and charged towards the herd of beasts.

By the evening, corpses were scattered all over the ground outside the city, the air became turbid, and the soldiers were gasping for breath, exhausted, with blood constantly flowing from their wounds. However, they did not give up, and they used their last bit of strength to resist the attack of the beasts.

The beasts gradually retreated, the soldiers took a short rest, and then began to collect the remains of the dead soldiers.

The carrier pigeon flew south, towards the increasingly prosperous imperial city.

By the time the current emperor of Xingyang learned of the situation, it was already the morning court session the next day.

There was a girl no older than 18 sitting on the throne, yawning with her head tilted back, looking like she was still half asleep. She barely managed to perk herself up and listened to the people below discussing the matter. The scene was very lively. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that 30% of the officials in the court were women! ! Everyone was not surprised and continued to express their opinions.

The people below were roughly divided into two groups. One group thought that they could just send troops over, while the other group thought that the beasts were too strange and that they should send a few priests to help, just in case.

The two sides were arguing endlessly and were about to fight. The girl on the throne stopped them impatiently: "You are all old, but you still quarrel all day long. Regent, what do you think?" The girl cast her eyes on an old man who was nearly seventy years old.

The old man thought for a while and said, "The Zhenbei Army is closest to this border. We can go there first to provide support, and then send tributes depending on the severity of the situation." The old man thought of a compromise.

The girl nodded and approved the plan. "Then let's do it."

He then looked at the officials below and said, "Anything else?"

The officials shook their heads.

"Then let's adjourn the court." The girl yawned again and left the back hall.

The girl was walking in the palace and unknowingly came to the study. She looked up at the plaque that read "Shujuan Palace".

Pushing open the door and walking in, the study was still there, but there were many more scrolls. Each scroll depicted one person, a young man with an upright figure, wearing a long white robe, with a handsome face and a subtle smile. In his hand, he held a wooden sword with an exquisite scabbard. An otherworldly aura was active in the scrolls.

The girl looked at the scroll, then looked at the sword rack on the table beside her. The wooden sword in the scroll was lying quietly on it.
