In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

We had clearly agreed to wait a few days before attacking, but now we are going back on our word.

This guy……

"I'll go teach it a lesson!"

"no need."

Maria reached out her hand to stop the man who was about to fight with the other party again, and turned her head silently to look.

"Next... it's time for them to show themselves."

……

"Run! Run!"

"A natural disaster is coming!"

From the crowd, panicked calls came one after another.

They're like a jumping ball; once one sound drops, another one pushes it up.

Everyone's fear was raised to the highest level.

The guards who still had strength left were trying their best to evacuate the people near the west district, their faces looking depressed.

On the west side of the city wall, the soldiers' expressions were even more solemn.

The tornado that stretched from the earth to the sky swept up rocks and giant trees.

Its dark brown body was shaking restlessly, tearing apart everything it was caught in.

The sound of vibrations echoed in the air.

The clouds were also stirred up, accumulating into crazy thunder that crossed the sky and brought down torrential rain.

A dark world, panicked cries, chaotic crowds, and silent guards guarding the city.

Everything made the entire Nanjiang City look like it was facing the end of the world.

In fact, for the people of Nanjiang City, this is tantamount to the end of the world...

"It's spectacular... This is the first time I've seen these people from this perspective."

Since Maria said there was no need to take action, Sui had to stop his actions temporarily and turned to look at the crowd.

The dense crowds of people moving at the same time gave her a strange feeling, especially since she was still observing from a human perspective. This new angle made her even more excited and curious.

Maria, however, was only concerned about the storm in the distance.

"So, you still think humans can get through this?"

Sui noticed the worries of the people around him and curled his lips helplessly.

The situation was already clear. She had already won this unrelated bet.

"..."

Maria didn't say anything, but just lowered her head and looked at the crowd.

Although in a panic, you can still see many people trying hard to control themselves and telling the crowd where to move forward.

and……

"Ah, this is indeed the case."

Sui supported his head with his hands as he watched the people rushing out of the crowd, who not only did not run away but instead rushed towards the west city wall.

"There are indeed people like this... people who rush towards danger even though they know they will die."

"...You don't think they can win, do you?"

Sui turned his head and looked at Maria beside him with a subtle expression.

"Having the courage means they've already taken the first step... That's what you said, isn't it?"

"Ah, well, I did say that."

Sui nodded. She had indeed discussed this with Maria a few days ago. "But courage is just the foundation. Whether you can grow or not depends on other things."

"But you remind me...Maria, let's make a bet?"

She smiled and leaned against the side. Her bright eyes turned back into the appearance of her giant beast self, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

"..."

"I bet these people can't defeat the behemoth... As long as I win, you promise to fight me with all your strength, how about that?"

"...Then I bet they can win."

"You know you're likely to lose if you make this choice, right?"

"Fortune favors only the brave."

"Ha, that's a weird thing to say... Fate won't favor those foolish men~"

The corners of his mouth curled up, as if he felt that he had already won the game.

but……

The light instantly illuminated her profile...

It was not the light of thunder, nor the light emitted by a giant beast, but this light suddenly lit up like a flame, illuminating the entire sky!

Then...

"boom--!"

A roar that the old man had never heard before rang out.

"..."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then turned her head in surprise.

On the side, Maria silently lowered the brim of her hat.

"here we go."

……

"Everyone! Fire! Stuff everything you can into there! Even if your hands are broken, just hold on with gritted teeth!"

Angry curses rang out, but this time they were not just watching from the sidelines.

Everyone could see that their captain was gritting his teeth, his muscles flexing as he kept loading ammunition with them.

The surging artillery fire almost shattered everyone's ears... This crude, unimproved large heavy artillery fired almost every round, and the compressed air waves and sound waves would become whips, lashing them fiercely!

But at this time, they didn't have time to think so much.

Shell after shell was fired at the cost of human lives.

Many people with weaker constitutions were directly stunned by the roar of artillery fire!

The intense pain forced their ears to start bleeding.

But their spirits forced their bodies to continue moving.

In the distant urban area, the crowd has not yet completely evacuated.

At this time, if the giant beast really enters the city, the entire city will turn into a living hell!

They have no more choice...

They... can only bet everything!

"what--!"

Angry roars continued to ring out, and every guard was squeezing his own life, trying to do more!

The blazing flames grew brighter and brighter.

The surging flames like waves, carrying their desires, collided with the rushing storm again and again!

Let the tornado swallow it!

Again and again!

With the combined power of dozens of huge cannons, the approaching storm actually showed signs of slowing down!

In the center of the tornado, a pair of blood-red eyes vaguely appeared above the sky!

The appearance of these eyes not only did not scare them, but instead made their blood boil.

Their efforts are not in vain...

Just keep going, just keep going!

Just when everyone was excited, an accident happened.

"boom--!"

"Oh no! The A-16 gun exploded!"

Everyone could see that just after a round of ammunition was fired, a huge cannon exploded without any warning.

And those who were closest to those huge cannons were almost immediately turned into pieces.

In fact, these are all due to good luck.

The personnel responsible for aiming and firing might not even find a trace of residue.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

The surging blood suddenly stopped for a few seconds.

This is inevitable.

The design of the artillery itself was experimental, and it was not originally intended to be put into the battlefield so early.

Most of the masters are not even good at assembly.

In addition, part of the steel had already been refined by other masters and was just a simple experimental item. The accident that occurred now seemed to be expected.

but……

At this moment, everyone was hesitating.

They looked at the shells in their hands, and for a moment they didn't realize that if they didn't grit their teeth and take action now, they would be dead.

At this moment, a voice that was slightly unfamiliar to them sounded.

"Reload!"

A loud sound was heard.

Everyone's eyes were attracted.

And then, they were surprised to find that the city lord who usually smiled had actually climbed up the city wall!

"Lord City Lord!"

"Reload!"

Li Zhenfang spoke in a loud voice.

At this moment, he was no longer the same man that Maria usually saw.

He put on the official uniform that symbolized his status, with a long sword at his waist, and stood before everyone without hesitation...

His eyes were solemn. He was clearly over fifty years old and had clearly killed his own child not long ago.

But at this moment, he was still standing tall.

He didn't know if what he did was right... He also didn't know if he could still be called a good father.

But he was too lazy to think about these.

Now that things have come to this, there is no chance for him to hesitate anymore.

"Commanders..."

He took a deep breath, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, slowly swept his eyes over all the confused soldiers on the city wall, and silently clenched his teeth.

"This is a matter of life and death for Nanjiang. We have no way out!"

"Friends, wives, and homes are all in this one move!"

He suddenly drew his sword.
