"Let's not talk about this first. How should we deal with this batch of refugees?" Han Lishi knew that Guang Xin 'er was feeling compassionate. This batch of refugees was only around ten million people, and there weren't many experts. King City could still accept them.
However, he was afraid that if the news spread, the refugees from all thirty-six directions would swarm over, and the city wouldn't be able to handle it.
At least, with so many True God Realm experts, it would definitely cause chaos in the outer city.
Shen Zhenyi glanced at them and said indifferently, "Naturally, let them head to King City first. Someone needs to report such important news."
Han Lishi thought about it and agreed. Especially since this Commander Fang was only a True God Realm expert, he wouldn't be a threat to King City. If he could inform the elders about the beastmen earlier, it would help them make a decision, so he didn't stop him.
Furthermore, this group of refugees from Blazing Glory City already knew about King City's existence. They were about to reach the general direction, but they didn't know the exact location. It wasn't against the rules to tell them.
Since that was the case, there was no need to go against Miss's wishes.
Han Lishi passed the map to Xuan Ye San. This Commander was overjoyed and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"No need to thank me. Just thank my Miss. "Han Lishi thought about it and asked again," Along the way, did you guys encounter groups of beasts? "
Speaking of beasts, everyone had a lingering fear in their hearts. Xuan Ye San smiled bitterly, "If we had encountered groups of beasts, how would I have been able to defend against them? It's just that encountering small groups of beasts is unavoidable."
Generally speaking, the larger the group of beasts, the higher the chances of high tier beasts appearing.
With the strength of this group of refugees, they might be able to deal with Rank Three beasts, but if they encountered Rank Four beasts, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
"You didn't find any clues?"
Han Lishi faintly felt that something was wrong, so he asked again.
Xuan Ye San thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any useful clues.
Han Lishi sighed and didn't continue asking. Xuan Ye San thanked him profusely before leading the ten million people to head north.
"Do you feel that something is wrong?" Cynanchum Chinense's intuition was sharp, so she quietly asked Princess Long.
Princess Long frowned as well. "According to Heavenly King Luo's information, the Beast Tide is coming from the south. This group of refugees has more than ten million people, and they also came from the south. Even if they didn't run into the tide, they should have discovered something unusual no matter how lucky they are. "
However, Xuan Ye San didn't see anything.
Could it be that the Great Heavenly King Luo was lying to them?
Although Great Heavenly King Luo belonged to the Inner City Alliance, he was an enemy, not a friend. It wouldn't be strange if he deliberately set a trap to harm them, so the first person they suspected was Great Heavenly King Luo.
Although Han Lishi also had doubts in his heart, he still forced himself to say, "For such a big matter, the various elders in the city have their own information. No matter how arrogant Great Heavenly King Luo is, he shouldn't dare and doesn't have the ability to lie about the Ferocious Beast Tide, right?"
It was not an easy task to create the illusion of a Ferocious Beast Tide and fool all the elders in the city. However, using it to deal with a mere Shen Zhenyi was not worth the loss. If the Ferocious Beast Tide was not discovered, the Elders who had been fooled would definitely want to settle the score with the Great Heavenly King Luo. How would he explain himself then?
"Then where did the Ferocious Beast Tide go?"
Guang Xin 'er blinked her eyes. She had been pampered by Guang Sheng Jun since she was young. Although she had followed her grandfather into the wilderness, she had lived like a princess and purely enjoyed the scenery. She had no survival experience at all, so she was innocent and naive.
Han Lishi furrowed his brows, unable to answer.
This was indeed a strange matter.
Shen Zhenyi smiled, "Didn't you hear what that General said? The Blazing City Lord received news of the Ferocious Beast Tide and went to kill it, but he fell for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain and fell into an ambush. Who knows if the level 5 Ferocious Beast Tide targeting King City is the same? "
"This …"
Han Lishi was shocked and subconsciously took a step back, protecting Guang Xin 'er while vigilantly looking around.
The scattered crowd of refugees was still slowly walking under their feet. It would take a long time before they could no longer see a group of ten million people. Other than that, there was nothing strange.
"The Third Prince, you're saying that this might be the Beastmen's Heart's plot?"
Han Lishi thought that it was highly possible. Otherwise, no matter how dense the Ferocious Beast Tide was, it was rare for two neighboring cities to encounter one at the same time. If the level 5 Ferocious Beast Tide targeting Fengyu City Lord was an ambush, then would the level 5 Ferocious Beast Tide they encountered this time be the same?
"But … a level 5 Ferocious Beast Tide can only lure two Elders out of the city. There is still the City Lord and three Elders guarding the city. Even if there is a Sixth Order God Realm Ferocious Beast, it would be hard to break through King City's defenses …"
As long as the City Lord was still in the city, King City would be impenetrable against Sixth Order God Realm Ferocious Beasts.
If they wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, they would have to arrange for a level 6 Ferocious Beast Tide to lure the City Lord away. At that time, the Ferocious Beast Tide would have a chance to attack King City.
Of course, if there was a Seventh Order God Realm Ferocious Beast Tide, even if it was a direct attack, the hundreds of millions of experts in King City wouldn't be able to stop it.
"Maybe the other side's goal is not to break through King City in a hurry."
Shen Zhenyi smiled faintly, looking at the departing figures of the refugees, he sighed softly.
King City was much more sturdy than Blazing Flourishing City, and its scale was much bigger. The City Lord's martial realm was also slightly higher.
If the Ferocious Beasts and Beastmen wanted to use the same trick to break through King City, it wouldn't be that easy.
If they wanted to take over King City, they would need to use more long-term and more covert methods.
"You're saying …"
Han Lishi's entire body trembled as he suddenly thought of a possibility. He wanted to shout at Xuan Ye San, who had left happily, but when he looked at the emaciated child and old man beneath his feet, he choked in his throat and did not shout out.
Ferocious Beasts were terrifying, but their strength was only on the surface. Without enough intelligence, even if humans couldn't stop them, they would have all kinds of tricks to deal with them. In the worst case scenario, they would still be able to escape.
However, Beastmen were different. They had a human face but a beast's heart. They wanted nothing more than to lure the Ferocious Beasts to slaughter all humans. All kinds of cunning schemes were even more terrifying than the Ferocious Beasts.
… Just like how the experts of Blazing Flourishing City were almost wiped out in one fell swoop, the generals that managed to escape were only Third Order True Gods.
… Now that there were tens of millions of refugees, how many Beastmen would be among them?
What kind of storm were they planning to stir up in King City?
Creating a diversion, retreating in order to advance, all kinds of wariness, maybe it was just to knock a nail into King City.
"I should have stopped them."
Han Lishi looked at those refugees with a pained expression.
However, he was very clear that he couldn't do it.
… Those refugees who were on their last breaths and had no hope left, if he stopped all of them, it would be the same as sending them to their deaths.
