"Go, eat to your heart's content!"
Du Feng waved his hand and summoned the pterosaur. It was the best at dealing with flying beasts. The archers still needed to deal with the beasts on the ground. If they were to attack from the sky, they might lose sight of one thing.
"Quack, quack, quack …"
The pterosaur suddenly flew out, startling the border guards. Such a large fifth-level beast, the pterosaur, could kill them in a matter of minutes. However, when they saw the pterosaur fly into the sky and attack the flying beasts, they understood that it was here to help.
Such a powerful spiritual pet, other than the new Captain Du, who else could have it? Even if he could afford it, he couldn't afford to raise it. The investment to raise a fifth-level spiritual pet was not a small one. How could they know that Du Feng had caught one ready-made for use?
The pterosaur's wings were dozens of meters wide, its huge claws, sharp teeth, and powerful aura. As it charged into the flying beasts, it immediately caused chaos. This group of flying beasts were mainly parrots, geese, and crows. Their attack power was not that strong, and they were mainly used for interference.
If these flying beasts got close to the guards, they would have to be careful of their own eyes. Now, with the pterosaur blocking them, it was like one man holding the pass against ten thousand enemies. They even had to flap their wings to catch and eat, so many flying beasts couldn't rush over in a short time.
"Archers, get ready!"
"Shoot!"
The beasts' attack was very rhythmic, and another group of beasts followed closely behind the flying beasts. This time, they were all wild boars, medium-sized wild boars. Because of the wild boar's strong reproductive ability, there were much more of them in nature than snow wolves, hunting foxes, and other species.
This time, it was not going to be easy. Even two arrows might not be able to kill a medium-sized wild boar. However, there were only a hundred members of the assault team, and it was impossible to take care of all of them.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the moon slowly rose from the east. Before it could shine its light on the ground, it was covered by a large number of flying beasts in the sky. Their numbers were increasing, and the pterosaur couldn't resist them. Although it wouldn't be injured, the number of flying beasts was too large, and it would inevitably slip through. Once the amount leaked was too much, the guards would suffer a calamity.
"Screech …"
At this moment, the Pterosaur let out a sharp cry. The sound was so ear-piercing that even the guards standing on the low wall couldn't stand it and covered their ears in pain. Looking at the birds in the sky, they seemed to be hypnotized as they fell in droves.
Their resistance was weaker than human warriors, and such a sonic attack was enough to make them faint. Falling from such a high place without feeling anything, there was no other way than to fall to one's death. The pterosaur's sound wave attack was very effective. A large number of birds were shaken down, and a large gap appeared in the sky. The moonlight took this opportunity to shine on the faces of the border guards.
Their foreheads were already drenched in sweat. How could they not be tired after such an intense battle? The situation was worse than what Du Feng had imagined. The attacks of the demonic beasts were too fierce.
"Prepare the crossbows!"
Facing a Medium Wild Boar, just using bows and arrows was definitely not enough. It would kill the members of the vanguard. As a result, the ten crossbows were put to use. Two people formed a group and pulled the crossbows open, releasing long and thick iron bolts.
"Whoosh …"
An arrow was shot out, and with a whistling sound, it directly pierced through the head of a wild boar. It wasn't too late. The iron bolt's strength didn't decrease, and it pierced through the second, third, and fourth wild boar before stopping.
Amazing! This was the first time the border guards used this kind of crossbow. The strength of Du Feng's self-made crossbow was different from the city defense crossbow. It didn't need crystals to power it, so it was cheaper. Although it wasn't that powerful, it was enough to kill wild boars.
"Charge!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the crossbows slowed down the wild boars, the one hundred strong men charged again. The guards were sweating blood, but they didn't know that the people in the inner city were still enjoying themselves.
What was going on? Why was the drawbridge raised? Many of the residents in the outer city were strolling outside when they suddenly saw the drawbridge to the inner city being raised. Once the drawbridge was raised, it meant that no one was allowed to enter, even if they had a pass to visit their relatives.
Could it be that the border guards were already in a tight situation? Originally, most people didn't know that the beast tide had already arrived. They only heard the news and thought that it would take at least two or three days for them to reach the border. Now that the inner city's drawbridge was raised, it seemed to explain the problem.
"Haha, look at those people in the outer city. They are all scared silly."
A young master from a major family in the inner city stood on the city wall and laughed as he looked at the panicking martial artists outside. Why was the house in the inner city so expensive? Why did they have to pay a lot of fees every year? Of course, it was to enjoy this special treatment.
Even if there were corpses everywhere outside, the people in the inner city could still eat, drink, and play. These young masters had received the news a few days ago, and a few of them had secretly spent money to get their mistresses in. If they could hide in the inner city from the outer city, most of them would be the ladies of the Elixir Yang Building.
Once the drawbridge was raised, no one could enter. Stony Plain City had a flying ban. Except for officials and Void Sea Realm martial artists, no one could fly. Even if they wanted to break in, it was impossible. The True Essence Cannons and city defense crossbows on the city wall were no joke.
"Why? Why are they doing this?"
Xie Haikun was roaring, and he was about to die from anger. Out of the 10 True Essence Cannons that were borrowed with great difficulty, six were moved to the inner city defense line. More than 100 city defense crossbows were also moved away. This way, the outer city defense line only had a total of 4 True Essence Cannons and 40 city defense crossbows.
"Captain Xie, don't be impulsive. You have to think about the bigger picture."
Di Ming chuckled and was very proud of himself. Anyway, he had a high official position. If the outer city was really breached, he could retreat to the inner city. Besides, there was still that fool, Du Feng, who was risking his life at the border defense line. As the captain, what did he have to worry about?
"What do you mean by the bigger picture? Are those rich people in the inner city the bigger picture?"
Xie Haikun was extremely angry. His voice was very loud, and he was basically roaring.
"You can't say that. You have to know that the family of the City Lord is also in the inner city. I have to protect their safety."
Di Ming had already thought about it. He would only watch the battle in the outer city and not fight. As long as the situation was not good, he would escape to the inner city. He would save some strength to put on a good show in front of the City Lord. There was no point in putting on a good show in the outer city. Anyway, they were all ordinary residents. If they died, then they died. It was none of his business.
