Whoosh!
The Dark Dragon Hound flew at full speed. Over a dozen minutes later, they arrived at the western wall of the base city.
Rows of warriors were standing on the outer wall, filling up the passageways.
All kinds of cannons and missiles had been set up on the outer wall. There were two long-range voltage sniper cannons that could kill any ninth-rank beast after being charged!
But the cannons would need three minutes to recharge each time. The cannons were one of the most powerful weapons in the base city.
Among the warriors, apart from the ones from the government of the Longjiang Base City, Su Ping also saw the Zhou family's flag. The dark brown flag was fluttering in the wind, and the word "Zhou" on it was majestic and awe-inspiring!
He found several familiar faces, including the family head of the Zhou family, Zhou Tianlin, and several other titled battle pet warriors of the Zhou family. They were all elders of the Zhou family.
Whoosh!
Su Ping flew over.
The warriors on the outer wall were startled by the sight of Su Ping and the dragon under his feet. The dragon was so unique that they had never seen it in the Illustrated Handbook. It was an unknown pet that was not listed in the Illustrated Handbook!
Zhou Tianlin recognized Su Ping and his pet. He didn't expect that Su Ping would come all of a sudden. But he had just received a call from Xie Jinshui and learned about the beast strike. He wasn't surprised to see Su Ping there. He flew over at once.
"Mr. Su."
"Mr. Zhou, are the other families on the other side?" Su Ping went straight to the point.
"I'm not sure. Xie Jinshui hasn't made any arrangements yet. The beast strike came too suddenly and the Zhou family is closer to the west side. So, I came here first," Zhou Tianlin said.
At the mention of the Beast Tide, his expression became serious, and his eyes were filled with determination.
Once a war broke out, the land would be littered with corpses!
Zhou Tianlin was ready.
Su Ping looked at him. "I called you on the way here but your line was busy. Can you get in touch with Mr. Qin? I just got some pets and I'm going to sell them to you."
"Pets?"
Zhou Tianlin was stunned, and his eyes lit up.
Last time, when Su Ping sold two pets at the peak of the ninth rank, he failed to get one. This time, since Su Ping was here, there must be a chance for him to get one!
"I'll give it a try. Mr. Su, as a matter of fact, the other titled battle pet warriors of the Zhou family are also available. If you don't have many pets, the Zhou family can buy all of them. Just name the price!" Zhou Tianlin said at once.
Su Ping shook his head. "I'm going to sell the pets to you so that you can guard the base city. If the Zhou family is in charge of one side, you can buy one."
Zhou Tianlin was a little disappointed, but he knew that this was a special situation. Su Ping had come directly to them to sell it. Although he said that he was selling it, it was most likely a gift to them so that they could help guard the base.
"Alright, I'll inform them first." Zhou Tianlin dismissed the idea and said.
Su Ping nodded.
Zhou Tianlin picked up his communicator and was about to make a call when his communicator suddenly rang. He glanced at it and said in surprise, "It's Old Xie." Then, he answered the call.
"Old Xie?"
"Zhou, come to the city hall. I've asked someone to take care of the relocation. Come here right away. I've called Old Qin and the others. We need to discuss how to defend the base city," Xie Jinshui said in a hurry.
Zhou Tianlin pulled a long face. "I understand. I'll be right there!"
With that said, he hung up and said to Su Ping, "Mr. Su, Old Xie just called us to a meeting to discuss the defense. Do you want to come with us?"
"Yes."
Su Ping nodded at once. "Come on up."
Zhou Tianlin looked at the dragon under his feet. He had a deep impression of this unknown pet that hadn't been recorded in the Illustrated Handbook. Su Ping had summoned the dragon during the wild beasts' strike and it had gone on a rampage. Even though the dragon didn't have the aura of a beast king, it was as powerful as a beast king!
"Okay."
Zhou Tianlin answered and hopped onto the back of the dragon.
The Dark Dragon Hound snorted.
Su Ping ignored the Dark Dragon Hound's dissatisfaction and told it to turn around and leave.
…
Half an hour later.
The two of them arrived at the city hall.
Qin Duhuang and Mu Beihai were already there. They were sitting in the conference room with heavy hearts, especially Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong. Their faces were clouded.
They were going to evacuate!
But the wild beasts were coming too fast. They had to evacuate a small number of their people, mainly the women and the young elites. As for the others, they had to stay in the Longjiang Base City and fight!
"You're here." Xie Jinshui was sitting in the main seat. He nodded to Su Ping and Zhou Tianlin.
Xie Jinshui had called Su Ping while he was on his way to the Longjiang Base City. "Everyone is here.
"Now that everyone is here, Xie, what should we do?" Qin Duhuang asked.
Xie Jinshui pressed a button on the table. A virtual map of the entire Longjiang Base City appeared on the table.
The base city was square and the outer wall was a square!
Close to the outer wall was the wilderness, where the farmers grew vegetables and fruits. There were also some factory areas. The closer to the center of the base city, the denser the buildings were.
"There are radar detectors both inside and outside the base city, as well as ground motion sensors. If there are demon beasts attacking from underground, they will be detected. Also, there is a lava layer and an electric layer at the bottom of the ground. If demon beasts come from underground, they should be able to avoid these two layers of defense."
Xie Jinshui added quickly, "So, we only need to defend against land attacks and air attacks!"
All the base cities had a lava layer and an electric layer under the ground. The Class A base cities had other protective layers that were built with the help of pets' skills. Those layers were designed to defend against pets sneaking into the base cities from underground.
Usually, when a base city was attacked or invaded, it would come from the ground or the air.
"Based on the number of wild beasts we've detected, most of them are beasts on the ground. Few of them can fly. You can leave the flying wild beasts to the military. We have anti-air missiles and sniper cannons to wipe them out. The titled battle pet warriors from your families will take care of the wild beasts that slip through the net."
"Of course." Qin Duhuang nodded.
"As for the four sides of our base city …" Xie Jinshui put on a solemn look. He touched the map and said, "According to the information we received from the frontline, the east side has the largest number of wild beasts. Qin Duhuang and I will guard the east side. Qin Duhuang, what do you think?"
Qin Duhuang's face changed slightly but he soon replied, "No problem!"
The others looked at him. The east side was the most difficult to guard. Xie Jinshui and the titled battle pet warriors from the government would be there, but the east side would still be under great pressure.
"The north side has a large number of wild beasts as well. Beast kings can be found there. Which one of you is willing to guard the north side?" Xie Jinshui looked at the others but didn't look at Su Ping.
Su Ping darted a look at Xie Jinshui. It seemed that Xie Jinshui had excluded him from the list.
Su Ping frowned. He didn't understand Xie Jinshui's intention.
"The Ye family can do it!"
The head of the Ye family said all of a sudden after no one said anything.
He darted a look at Mu Beihai.
Mu Beihai's face clouded over but he didn't say anything.
"Okay."
Xie Jinshui nodded. "The Ye family will be in charge of the north side. I will call in the reinforcements later and pick out some of the stronger ones. We will send them to the north side to assist the Ye family."
"Okay." The head of the Ye family nodded.
"The west side is closer to the Zhou family. How about we leave it to you?"
"No problem." Zhou Tianlin agreed without hesitation. He didn't go to the north not because he was afraid, but because the Zhou family had already deployed their troops to the west. They didn't want to waste their energy moving there. After all, a war was imminent. It would be stupid to spend time running around in the base city.
"The south side has the least number of wild beasts but it is not to be underestimated. Are the Mu family and Liu family willing to guard it?" Xie Jinshui asked Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong.
Both of them wanted to leave their families but they were forced to stay. Leaving the best defense side to them was something they could accept.
"No problem." Mu Beihai nodded.
Liu Tianzong nodded as well.
"Good. That's settled then. Go and get ready." Xie Jinshui nodded.
Su Ping couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what about me?"
The others turned to Su Ping.
Xie Jinshui darted a meaningful look at Su Ping. "Mr. Su, you can go to any side. But I don't want you to go to any side in a hurry. I want you to stay in the base city!
"You are the most powerful warrior of the Longjiang Base City. If the Heavenly King of the Otherworld Heavenly King shows up, you will have to deal with him! I know this is too much for you. So, if you feel that you cannot win, you can leave at any time. I will allow you to leave the battlefield at any time. You are not a deserter! "
Su Ping didn't know what to say.
Xie Jinshui had never mentioned him before. He didn't know that Xie Jinshui was using him as a medic.
He would go wherever the Otherworld Heavenly King appeared.
He could leave the battlefield at any time!
The others looked at Xie Jinshui and then at Su Ping. They didn't say anything. Even if Su Ping left without a fight, they couldn't blame him.
Su Ping was willing to stay when the Otherworld Heavenly King was a monster. That was already a sign of courage and friendship!
"I understand." Su Ping nodded.
That was a reasonable arrangement. If he went to any side of the base city and the Otherworld Heavenly King appeared on the other side, the base city would be destroyed in an instant!
By then, it would be too late for him to go to the other side from one side of the base city!
"Sir, I have a plan. I wonder if you can lure the Otherworld Heavenly King to the Otherworld Heavenly King. If you can, I have a place where even the Otherworld Heavenly King will die!" Su Ping suddenly said.
If the Otherworld Heavenly King could be lured into the store, the system would be able to kill the Otherworld Heavenly King directly!
Su Ping had faith in the system!
After all, it was said that it could kill gods and demons, not to mention the Otherworld Heavenly King.
"A place where no one can kill?"
Xie Jinshui, Qin Duhuang, and the others stared at Su Ping in shock.
Su Ping was talking big.
Even the Otherworld Heavenly King would die?
What kind of absolute killing zone was this?!
"Is there really such a place?" Xie Jinshui couldn't help but ask.
Su Ping nodded. "Trust me. I can kill any beast king, no matter what level it is. I can even kill those that are stronger than beast kings!"
They were all stunned by Su Ping's words.
No one could have foreseen that Su Ping had that kind of power.
How many trump cards does this young man have? That's terrifying!
Xie Jinshui's eyes were filled with hope. But soon, the hope died down. "Even if there is such a place, we can't lure the Otherworld Heavenly King out. We don't have any devices that can detect the Otherworld Heavenly King's whereabouts. Otherwise, the Tower would have used those devices to capture the four beast kings."
Su Ping frowned.
They couldn't find the Otherworld Heavenly King. They had to wait for the Otherworld Heavenly King to show up. They were in a passive position!
So, I have to wait for the Otherworld Heavenly King to show up. I'll find it and fight while luring it into the base city. I wonder if I can succeed, Su Ping wondered.
He couldn't do anything about it. After all, the Demonic Beasts that were given the title of Four Kings were not only powerful, but also extremely cunning.
Otherwise, the Tower wouldn't have been able to capture and kill them after so many years.
"What a shame." Qin Duhuang heaved a sigh. Luring the Otherworld Heavenly King out was too difficult. They didn't even know where the Otherworld Heavenly King was, let alone when it would show up and where it would be. The Otherworld Heavenly King wasn't a low-level beast that could be lured into a trap.
If the Otherworld Heavenly King would have fallen into a trap, the Tower would have set it up a long time ago.
"Let's leave it at that for now. We don't have much time and the battle will change at any moment. I'll let you know the details. Let's set up a group so that I can send you a message when something happens. That way, we can keep in touch," Xie Jinshui said.
The others nodded in agreement.
They took out their phones and joined the group.
When the meeting was about to end, Su Ping said, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ye, please come to my store. I have some pets to sell. Mr. Mu, Mr. Liu, you can come as well."
Su Ping was going to sell two pets at the peak of the ninth rank to the Mu family and the Liu family so that they wouldn't have to worry about the south.
After all, there were five beast kings. If one of them went to the south, the two families might not be able to protect the south!
"Pets?"
Apart from Zhou Tianlin, Qin Duhuang and the others' eyes glowed.
Xie Jinshui remembered the beast kings at the peak of the ninth rank. "Mr. Su, can I buy one?"
"You … maybe next time." Su Ping was in a dilemma. He could only sell five beast kings this time. After all, they wouldn't be able to sign a contract with that beast king at the Void State.
The other beast king was still in its infancy and would be of no use.
The only ones he could sell were the three beast kings and the two at the ninth rank.
Su Ping chose to sell to the five families instead of Xie Jinshui because Xie Jinshui was the mayor and he had to take charge of the overall situation.
Xie Jinshui forced a bitter smile.
Xie Jinshui was tempted by a pet at the peak of the ninth rank, but given the current situation, it wouldn't make a difference. He didn't feel sorry about the bleak future of the Longjiang Base City. The most important thing at the moment was to protect the Longjiang Base City.
Su Ping didn't say anything to Xie Jinshui. He decided that he would sell Xie Jinshui a good beast king the next time he bred one.
Su Ping thought highly of Xie Jinshui. Xie Jinshui was a good mayor!
"Thank you, Mr. Su." Mu Beihai didn't expect that Su Ping would be willing to sell to him. After all, the Mu family had chosen to leave.
Su Ping nodded. "Let's cut to the chase. Come with me to my store."
"Sure." Qin Duhuang nodded.
Xie Jinshui stood up. "You can go ahead. I will go and talk to the forces that are coming to help. I will tell them about the situation and our strategy."
"Okay."
The others nodded.
The meeting was adjourned. Apart from Xie Jinshui, the others followed Su Ping to the pet store in the shantytown area.
Su Ping told Qin Duhuang, Zhou Tianlin, and the family head of the Ye family to stand in front of the store. Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong would line up behind them.
They were confused by Su Ping's arrangement but they didn't say anything.
They understood the rules of the line in Su Ping's store. However, they felt that Su Ping was a bit obsessive-compulsive.
They were the only ones left. What was the point of waiting in line?
Also, it was clear that Su Ping wanted Qin Duhuang to be the first to pick.
Su Ping was the boss and he was the one who made the decision. Which pet did he want to sell to Qin Duhuang? Why did he have to wait in line like that?
Of course, the others didn't say anything. They would just pretend that Su Ping had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong didn't know what to say. It seemed that they had to pick the remaining pets. Indeed, their choice had made Su Ping think differently about them.
"Come on out!"
Once they were in position, Su Ping summoned the pets that were on sale in the store.
Roar!
Roar!!
Roars and deep breaths were heard one after another. The mountain-like creatures landed on the ground one after another and filled up the entire street. The houses that Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin had bought on the other side of the street were all crushed by them. They were so huge!
However, Qin Duhuang and the others weren't in the mood to care about the houses they had bought.
The aura of beast kings filled the air.
Shocking!
Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin stared at the scene with their eyes wide open. Their hair stood on end. They were all shocked by the scene.
Beast … kings?!
All of them were beast kings?!!
Their mouths were agape. They were unable to utter a single word.
That was too much of a shock. Three beast kings had appeared at the same time!
If it weren't for the fact that Su Ping had summoned those beasts, they would have thought that those were beast kings that had invaded the city!
"Mr. Su …" Qin Duhuang came back to his senses. He raised his head and stared at a huge scorpion that was dozens of meters long. He swallowed hard and asked, "Are, are those the pets that you're going to sell to us?"
The others came back to their senses and stared at Su Ping, still in a daze.
Beast kings … for sale?!
That was crazy!
That was crazy!
"Yes. Pick one that you like and sign the contract right away. Make good use of it when you're defending the city," Su Ping said seriously.
