Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 294 Nine Star City Arrives to Provide Support

The Fox King was confident.

Most of those monsters don't know much about strategy, but now that they have an absolute advantage, they don't care about such things at all.

They rushed into the city, only to find it completely deserted.

The Fox King gave another order: be careful of an ambush.

Finally, after the information-gathering demon beasts discovered that the human race had retreated to the second level, the demon race was overjoyed.

"Now they are truly trapped like fish in a barrel," the Fox King exclaimed with delight.

It knew that there was a second line of defense in the southern city, but taking over the outer city at this moment was tantamount to winning half the battle.

The Fox King had no intention of giving the human race any time and ordered an attack.

Just then, an explosion occurred on the ground.

The Fox King looked down at the ground and saw countless flames bursting open. When he looked back, the city wall collapsed with a crash.

Houses in the outer city collapsed one after another, and there was fire and smoke everywhere.

"They planted explosives!" The Fox King exclaimed in a mixture of fear and anger.

Humans have always valued their property, and the outer city of the South City was the largest, but now the entire outer city has been destroyed.

This city is essentially half-destroyed.

This human was actually willing to cut off his own arm to hinder their attack.

Explosives do not cause much damage to powerful monsters.

However, the explosion came too suddenly, and there was some damage.

The Fox King had no choice but to order a temporary retreat.

Meanwhile, the humans guarding the second floor heard the explosion outside and their hearts bled.

This city is their home.

They destroyed their own homes, just to stop the monsters from attacking.

However, this blockade is estimated to last only one day.

This decision was proposed by Lin Chen.

Explosives certainly can't harm the main force of the monsters, but they can buy time for a day and give the defending army another day to rest.

"There's still no news about reinforcements outside. Is our previous plan still valid?" Chen Ming couldn't help but start to doubt.

So far, not a single monster hunter has appeared outside.

Is it possible that no one will come to help at all?

Lin Chen remained silent.

A man next to him patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Lin, we don't mean to blame you. The decision was made together, so there's no need to blame yourself."

Lin Chen turned around and saw many people nodding.

Chen Ming also said, "The most urgent task now is how to defend against the third wave."

These words silenced the entire room.

Just then, the man who had spoken earlier said again, "If that really doesn't work, then let's try another way."

"The non-combatants can stay. Those who are capable can try to break out from the south, perhaps."

"Perhaps there is a way out."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

When the plan mentions fleeing, it means that no one believes the war can be won.

Chen Ming spoke up at the opportune moment:
"This plan can be retained, but we are not at the final deadline yet."

"Let's set a three-day deadline."

"If reinforcements haven't arrived in three days, then we'll do as you say."

Lin Chen walked out of the house and stood on a high place to look outside. At this moment, the outer city had already become ruins.

The towering city walls are long gone, and the once bustling streets have long since turned into fallen bricks and tiles.

The Spirit-Devouring Vine beside Lin Chen called out, meaning that if they really couldn't hold on, Qin Shaoshao had given it instructions before coming: it must get Lin Chen away safely.

Lin Chen didn't speak.

Just as Chen Ming said, there are still three days left.

Miracles still happen.

However, Lin Chen was also curious as to why none of the monster hunters outside had appeared yet.

Could it be that these people didn't receive the message?
Or.
There was absolutely no response.

At this moment, Lin Chen also fell into deep self-doubt.

After all, human nature is the most unpredictable thing. The next day, the monsters attacked again, rushing towards the second level, and the great battle broke out once more.

The second layer of city walls is not as good as the first layer, but the second layer of city walls has one advantage: the area covered by the walls is smaller, making them easier to defend.

The demon race was truly desperate and launched an offensive of the demon sea. The human race held off one wave, but another wave immediately followed.

Throughout the day, the human race successfully defended against Liu Bo's offensive.

Everyone watched helplessly as many spirit beasts and human warriors collapsed from exhaustion, eventually convulsing and dying.

Some were torn to shreds by monsters in mid-air, their flesh and blood mangled.

Many people's eyes turned red when they saw this scene.

Some people have even broken down psychologically and are hoping to surrender.

But Lin Chen understood that surrendering did not mean the demon race would give him a way out.

The fact that the demon race broke the agreement with the Heavenly Realm Mountain this time proves one thing.
The demon race hopes to gain a certain status in this land.

Therefore, the fact that the two races cannot coexist is already a generally accepted fact.

Once they surrender, death still awaits them.

The war finally ended as night fell.

When people went up to the battlefield to clear away the corpses, they found them piled up in a high layer.

This time, the human race lost more than half of its forces.

Death is death, injury is injury.

According to statistics, the number of soldiers available for combat tomorrow may be less than one-third of their peak strength.

This devastating news immediately caused immense grief to the entire human race.

That same evening, Chen Ming gathered everyone together.

This meeting was no longer a high-level meeting, but a plenary session.

"Everyone, I am Chen Ming."

"The city lord of the southern city."

"I'm sorry, we can't hold on any longer."

"Starting tomorrow, the city garrison will be disbanded, and anyone who is able to leave may do so on their own."

When ordinary people hear this, they immediately start to cry.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Chen Ming raised his hand and said, "But I will not back down."

"Tomorrow, I will continue to fight."

"If there are any who are willing to fight alongside me, then we can fight together."

"As long as I live, the city lives; if I perish, the city perishes!"

Everyone was stunned. What ignited in their eyes at that moment was not the desire to survive, but a fighting spirit belonging to the human race.

On the morning of the third day, the monsters attacked again.

Just as he had said before, Chen Ming donned his armor, brought his spirit beast, and led his army, standing at the very front.

He shouted to the people behind him:

"Those who want to leave, do it now, we'll fight our way out for you."

Lin Chen also participated, but his battles all took place under the cover of the Soul-Devouring Vine.

However, the human race began to falter two hours after the battle began.

Death is death, injury is injury.

Chen Ming was covered in wounds and had also lost two spirit beasts.

He stood sadly atop the city wall and cried out:
"Nancheng, I ultimately couldn't protect you."

But I haven't let you down!

He bravely faced death, charging towards the demon king in the sky.

"City Lord!"

Some people below tried to stop him, but Chen Ming was determined to leave.

The immortal phoenix in the distance saw that Chen Ming actually dared to attack it, and immediately sneered. It was about to crush him and then order a bloodbath in Nancheng.

Just then, a leaf flew by and blocked the immortal phoenix!
"who!"

The immortal phoenix shouted warily.

Lin Chen and the Soul-Devouring Vine's pupils lit up, and just then, a voice resounded throughout the entire South City:
"Nine Star City is here to provide support!"
