This was quite an eye-opener for Wang Yan; he never expected that the attacks by strange beasts in such a big city would be so fierce.

Amidst the flashing swords and clashing blades, the special effects were quite impressive, especially the Red Rose Knight Commander, who faced off against a fat, three-headed monster. However, it looked rather disgusting, with its two lumps on its chest replaced by two gaping maws that would occasionally spew out sticky venom, making it nauseating to watch.

The knight captain's petite figure was barely the size of the beast's palm. She held a greatsword longer than herself in both hands, and each strike was accompanied by faint traces of blood-red rose petals, leaving a bloody gash on the beast's body.

It was difficult for the beast to hit her. The heavy armor was as light as cardboard on her body, allowing her to easily dodge every attack. With each leap, she would create a cloud of blood mist, demonstrating her extremely skilled combat experience and preventing her from being injured in the slightest.

However, Wang Yan also witnessed some rather bloody scenes. He saw a toad with a mouthful of fangs grab a rat rider in its hand, then shove it into its mouth, chewing it up along with its shell. The flesh and iron pieces rubbed together in its mouth, and a rat tail dangled around its mouth. The sight made the cat's scalp tingle.

Wang Yan gently put his arm around her waist, signaling her not to be afraid. He felt that watching any longer might make Hua Yue feel physically uncomfortable, so he pulled her to go back to sleep. But unexpectedly, a mournful cry came from the port. Wang Yan frowned slightly, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

"Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

The sound was shrill and unpleasant; even from a distance, Wang Yan felt a stinging pain in his eardrums. It sounded a bit like the crying of a baby, and it gave him the creeps.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield at the port.

As the Knight Commander stationed here by the Iron Mountain Kingdom, Mithril Sword Wild Tail's mission is to assist Anju City in defending against nighttime attacks by strange beasts. In fact, she usually doesn't need to take action. There are usually only one or two main beasts each night, and the main defense is mainly handled by the young lady of the city lord's mansion.

Recently, due to the damned Church of the Deadwood, whoever they are, has used some unknown means, no place in the entire Wall Abyss has been spared. Some smaller places are even unable to resist, so much so that even a port city like Anju City has gathered a large number of refugees.

The situation in Anju City is not good either. The number of main beasts in the recent beast tide is slowly increasing, and Wilderness Tail has no choice but to join in the defense.

Her greatsword was adorned with rose petals, as red as blood. Even clad in heavy armor, she could nimbly weave between the massive bodies of the beasts, leaving trails of flowing blood.

A streak of light flashed, and she severed one of the giant beast's arms. Foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere, and a deafening roar of pain filled the air, clearly indicating that she had angered the beast. However, Wild Tail remained calm and composed. She even glanced up at the other two main beasts, but the battle there seemed to be going poorly.

The other two main beasts were defended by the city defense team captain and the young lady of the city lord's mansion, respectively. Their strength was not as good as Kuangyewei's, so they were having some trouble. Kuangyewei couldn't help but frown slightly, and his eyes under his armor turned cold.

She needs to resolve this immediate problem quickly so she can support the other two.

As Kuang Yewei was thinking this, just as he was about to draw his sword to behead the giant beast, his eardrums suddenly felt a sharp pain, and even bled slightly. The sound was miserable and piercing, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Damn it, it was the fourth main beast!

One hand, two hands, three hands... eight hands were placed on the cliff face, and the mournful cries did not stop, causing everyone to be in a daze.

It was an enormous head, with eight long, thin arms growing around it. The head had a mournful face and was emitting a heart-wrenching wail. The weaker soldiers had already collapsed to the ground, their eardrums ruptured and their minds broken.

Currently, only three people on the field can withstand the main beast, but this new addition has created a real problem. No one can stop it, and the giant head seems determined not to stop, howling as it charges straight into the city!

"Reserve troops, prepare to fight alongside me!"

Connor, who was originally in charge of the battle, saw the beast charging directly towards the city. He couldn't care less about anything else. The city was full of unarmed civilians. If this thing went in, it would be an overwhelming massacre!

"well....."

Wang Yan, who was at the inn, glanced at the scene. He hadn't really wanted to get involved, but now he had no choice.

If this strange beast is allowed to enter, it could very well cause a devastating blow to Anju City. He doesn't want to see the city destroyed, after all, it's the closest large city to his home, and he's counting on getting his goods from here.

"Huayue, find a safe place to hide. I'll be right back."

A broadsword suddenly appeared from the system space, and Wang Yan slung it over his shoulder. Hua Yue naturally knew what Wang Yan was going to do, and obediently nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, meow! Wang Yan, be careful, meow!"

"Wrapped."

With one leg on the windowsill, Wang Yan leaped into the air, a crimson cloud appearing beneath his feet as he charged directly towards the strange beast.

"Quick, quick! Archers, fire!! Knights of the Crimson Rose, you hold it off, buy some more time, don't let it enter the city, once the other three main beasts are dealt with!!"

Connor picked up a rapier and, instead of hiding behind the crowd, stood at the very front, even half a body length ahead of the Red Rose Knights' substitutes. He knew that these young knights were all relatively young apprentice knights. As he watched the monstrous head hurtling towards him with howls, a bead of cold sweat slid down his cheek.

No, absolutely not, we absolutely cannot let this thing into the city!

Although he wasn't as skilled in combat as his older sister, he wasn't someone who could be easily defeated!

He raised his sword, ready to thrust, but just as he mentally prepared himself, for some unknown reason, the enormous head flew rapidly in the direction he had come from. What on earth happened?

"That is..."

"There was someone on the beast's head! That person kicked the beast away!!"

"There are more experts?!"

Connor was still in a daze. He was prepared to die, but someone saved him.

His pupils, hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses, kept focusing, and the mysterious figure gradually emerged in his eyes.

"It's...it's him!"
