"Bang!"
Captain Xie's position was not strong enough and was hit by the Yellow River Elephant's trunk. The thick city wall was left with a deep trench, and the watchtower also shook a few times, but it did not collapse.
"Fire!"
Hundreds of city defense crossbows shot at the Yellow River Elephant. Its head was instantly pierced with a dense number of crossbow bolts. However, this Yellow River Elephant had a tenacious vitality. Although the crossbow bolts pierced its skin, they did not penetrate its brain. Even if hundreds of arrows pierced its head, it would not die immediately.
"Awoo …"
After a sad cry, the Yellow River Elephant hit the city wall. The huge impact caused the watchtower to shake violently. Captain Duan could not stand steadily, and the True Origin Cannon fell out of his hand.
"Oh no!"
Captain Duan saw that the situation was not good. Losing the True Origin Cannon would be a big responsibility. He wanted to rush down to pick up the True Origin Cannon, but the beast horde behind had already caught up and was constantly attacking the loose parts of the city wall.
"Oh no!"
Another person realized that the situation was not good, and that was the Seven Kill Demon Cultivator responsible for assassinating Du Feng. He originally wanted to get the watchtower where Du Feng was, but he did not have a chance to do so. Before he could do anything, Captain Duan was the first to have a problem. If that side of the city wall collapsed first, the demon beasts would inevitably swarm in, and Du Feng naturally would not have to bear the responsibility.
Huh? Du Feng was still firing the True Origin Cannon when he suddenly felt that something was wrong below. If the beast horde was as dense as before, he would not have noticed it. But now that the beast horde had been scattered by the True Origin Cannon, Du Feng found something strange. These demon beasts seemed to be avoiding something intentionally or unintentionally.
Could it be that there were pangolins, rats, or other demon beasts launching an attack from the ground? Thinking of this, Du Feng did not care whether it was true or not. He would first fire the cannon and see. Anyway, it was already so chaotic, it did not matter if it was more chaotic.
"Bang …"
Du Feng's cannon hit the ground, blowing up the demon cultivator who wanted to lurk from underground. If he fought normally, he might be able to fight with Du Feng for a while. He just had to think of destroying things from underground. Now, he had been blasted by the cannon.
The demon cultivator assassin of Seven Kills had died an unjust death. However, there were people who were even more wronged than him, and that was the He family in the inner city. He had spent so much money thinking that he would definitely be able to get rid of Du Feng this time, but in the end, he still managed to escape.
"The outer city is about to fall. Are we really not going to help?"
Sun Wen looked at City Lord Xie Qifan, who was drinking tea. They could clearly see the situation outside from the crystal ball. Captain Duan's position would definitely not last long before collapsing. If it weren't for Du Feng desperately using the True Essence Cannons to bombard the city walls, they would have already collapsed.
"There's an order from above. I can't do anything about it."
As the City Lord, Xie Qifan naturally did not wish for the outer city to be destroyed. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of residents living there, as well as so many residential and commercial facilities. Once they were destroyed, the damage would be considerable. However, the higher-ups had already given instructions that Void Sea Realm and above Cultivation Realm must stay in the inner city. The scale of this beast tide attack was not ordinary. It was already not easy to protect the inner city. They definitely could not transfer troops to the outer city.
"Then we have to withdraw some guards. Otherwise, there won't be enough troops in the inner city."
There were actually quite a lot of people in the inner city, and the Cultivation Realm was not low. The problem was that the members of those great families were all watching from the sidelines, waiting to see how the City Lord Mansion would deal with the demonic beasts. As the great families of the inner city, they paid a lot of fees every year just to enjoy this treatment.
"It's useless to transfer the motley crew from the outer city in. They can't even defend the True Essence Cannons well."
Without waiting for the City Lord to reply, Di Ming spoke first. If they transferred people from the outer city, they would definitely let in a few city defense captains first, including Du Feng. He did not want Du Feng to come in and be trampled to death by the demonic beasts outside.
"Before the beast tide retreats, the inner city cannot be opened again. I can't do anything about it."
Xie Qifan did not want the city defense guards to be sacrificed, but he did not want the inner city to be breached. If the inner city was breached by the demonic beasts, then Stony Plain City would completely disappear, and he would not be the City Lord anymore. As long as the inner city was not breached, the outer city could be slowly rebuilt in the future. As long as the City Lord Mansion was willing to spend money, it would definitely attract a large number of wandering martial artists. The stronger ones among them would gradually become the residents of the outer city.
"Hmph, you men are all so ruthless."
Sun Wen snorted coldly and went back to her room angrily. Before the beast tide reached the moat, she would not be able to get involved even if she wanted to. Actually, she was very clear about the specific situation. The superior that City Lord Xie Qifan mentioned was her father, Sun Jianshan. In order to prevent her, the Deputy City Lord, from getting involved, he gave Xie Qifan a death order. He knew that Sun Wen could not be allowed to leave the inner city no matter what.
As the Deputy City Lord, she could not leave when Stony Plain City was under attack. However, she could defend the inner city and not go out. As long as the inner city was not breached, it would be considered a great merit. Sun Jianshan was astute and had already planned everything. Compared to the guards and residents of the outer city, they were simply cannon fodder.
The people of the outer city could not wait for reinforcements from the inner city no matter what. Finally, after a loud bang, the side of the city wall where Captain Duan was located collapsed.
"Ow … Ow …"
The Yellow River Elephant continued to stay outside and destroy the city wall. A group of small Greedy Wolves rushed into the city wall through the gap. At this time, the sky was already dark, and their eyes were glowing with a dark green light.
"Help! The demonic beasts are coming! "
"Quickly run, we are finished."
The outer city was in chaos. There were people running around on the streets, people staying in their houses and not coming out, women crying with their children, and all kinds of people.
"What are you panicking for? Pick up your weapons and fight back."
Some people were still calm. Seeing that the intruders were only low-level demonic beasts like the Greedy Wolves. They encouraged everyone to pick up their weapons and fight against the demonic beasts.
"What the hell are those city guards doing? How can they let the demonic beasts attack?"
"That's right. What do they do with so much money? A bunch of trash."
Many people were not willing to fight against the demonic beasts. Instead, they gathered together and scolded the city guards. They felt that since they were the residents of the outer city, they should be protected by the city guards.
"Don't talk nonsense. Look up."
