"What? A Class 5 Magical Beast?" The soldier's words were like a clap of thunder in the silent meeting room. Hearing this, Yun Li's expression changed and he immediately stood up from his chair. Taking a big stride forward, he grabbed the soldier's collar and said with disbelief and shock, "What did you say? You found a Class 5 Magical Beast?" Yun Li's words were almost a roar.
"Yes, yes, Mayor. We found a Class 5 Magical Beast in the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range." The soldier's voice trembled as he spoke, his face pale.
Jianchen's expression also became serious when he heard the words Class 5 Magical Beast. A Class 5 Magical Beast's strength was comparable to an Earth Saint Master. Furthermore, due to the innate advantage of Magical Beasts, if a human didn't have a powerful battle technique, they would definitely not be a match for a Magical Beast. Furthermore, a Class 5 Magical Beast in a remote area like Wake City, where Earth Saint Masters rarely set foot, was an invincible existence.
The difference between Class 5 and Class 4 was like the difference between Great Saint Masters and Earth Saint Masters. It was a divide in strength. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth. It was simply incomparable. The difference between a Great Saint Master and an Earth Saint Master was like a primary Saint Master who had just condensed a Saint Weapon fighting against an existence at the peak of Great Saint Master. It was basically undefeatable and even killing him would be extremely difficult.
Although Jianchen had killed two Class 5 Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, both of them had been injured to the point that they didn't even have the strength to stand up. They only had the strength to launch a single attack. Even so, Jianchen's life had been hanging by a thread. In the end, he had paid a heavy price to kill them.
Jianchen didn't doubt that if a Class 5 Magical Beast was in its peak condition, it would definitely be stronger than the Earth Saint Master who had tried to kill him in Fengyang City. However, the appearance of a Class 5 Magical Beast only increased the pressure on him. This was because he now had the help of the Azure Sword Spirits, so his attack power was much stronger than before. He was confident that he could use his advantage to kill a Class 5 Magical Beast at its peak condition, as long as he didn't encounter a monster like the Silver Striped Golden Snake.
"Oh no, things are getting serious. This time, a magical beast of the fifth rank has appeared." City Lord Yun Li's expression became incomparably solemn as his brows furrowed. After thinking for a moment, he muttered: "This won't do. With the strength of our Wake City, there is no way we can withstand the attack of a Class 5 Magical Beast. I have to immediately ask for reinforcements from Royal City. Only then can we minimize the casualties of our Wake City."
Thinking of this, Yun Li did not hesitate and immediately walked out. He did not even have time to greet Jianchen. A Class 5 Magical Beast was a powerful existence that could decide the fate of Wake City. He couldn't afford to let his guard down. Therefore, he had to ask for help from the Royal City as soon as possible. He had to ask the higher-ups to send experts to deal with the Class 5 Magical Beast.
City Lord Yun Li walked into the study room with a serious look on his face. He took a pen and began to write on a piece of paper. Finally, he stamped the paper and rolled it into a small cylinder. He then carefully tied it with a string.
"Men, immediately use the fastest messenger bird to deliver this secret letter to the City Lord's Mansion in King City."
"Yes, City Lord!" Immediately, a soldier ran in from outside and carefully took the letter from City Lord Yun Li's hand before retreating.
"Pass down my orders. This time, the appearance of a Class 5 Magical Beast must be kept a secret. At this time, we cannot afford to lose control. Also, immediately call for the Mercenary Union branch in Wake City. At the same time, pay close attention to any movements in the Magical Beast Mountain Range." City Lord Yun Li immediately gave an order to the soldiers outside the study, and the soldiers who were waiting outside the study immediately retreated after receiving the order.
… ….
The news of the appearance of a Class 5 Magical Beast was too big of a shock for City Lord Yun Li. However, he did not intend to announce such a big matter. He thought that once the news spread, the fearsome name of a Class 5 Magical Beast would deter many people. At that time, there would definitely be many people who were afraid of death who would choose to leave Wake City. As a result, the city's defensive strength would plummet. In the end, the entire city would be overwhelmed by the Magical Beasts.
Right now, City Lord Yun Li's only hope was that the City Lord would be able to send experts to deal with the Class 5 Magical Beast. Otherwise, even if Wake City was able to successfully repel the Magical Beast wave, the casualties would definitely be disastrous.
Jian Chen left the city lord's mansion alone. Although the appearance of a Class 5 Magical Beast put a lot of pressure on him, it didn't affect him much. Instead, it made him secretly look forward to the battle. His Sword Qi was able to cut through the War Behemoth's defenses like tofu. This War Behemoth that was said to be extremely difficult to kill even for an Earth Saint Master was unable to resist the Sword Qi at all. From this, it could be seen how powerful the Sword Qi was. He wondered just how effective it would be on a Class 5 Magical Beast.
Jianchen followed the path in his memory and quickly found the Kai Clan. Right now, the several dozen people who had just joined the Flame Mercenaries were all temporarily living in the Kai Clan. They had been arranged to live in a separate courtyard by Kyle.
The Kai Clan was a small clan that had only been established for around thirty years. In terms of background, they could not compare to the Zhou Clan. Thus, the Kai Clan only had around a hundred guards and martial artists. Jianchen was personally led by the Armored Clan's patriarch, Kyle. Under the astonished gazes of the patrolling guards, he went straight to the courtyard where the Flame Mercenaries were living.
The courtyard was a courtyard. Aside from the main entrance, there were houses on all three sides. In the middle of the courtyard was a patch of grass. At this moment, the several dozen people who had just joined the Flame Mercenaries were sitting in groups of three to five and conversing with one another.
Jianchen's arrival immediately caused everyone to stop talking. One by one, they stood up from the ground and politely called out to Jianchen, "Captain, Captain."
Jianchen indifferently glanced at the people around him and said, "Seth, Duo Kang, Chalka, Motian, and Qingfeng still haven't arrived?"
"Captain, the five of them still haven't arrived. They must still be dealing with their own mercenary groups," said a young man around thirty years of age.
However, just as he finished speaking, a servant of the Kai Clan hurriedly ran over from the distance. He looked at the several dozen men in the courtyard with some surprise. In the end, he whispered to Kyle, who was standing behind Jianchen, "Patriarch, the Golden Dragon Mercenaries, the Char Mercenaries …"
Without waiting for the servant to finish, Kyle waved his hand and said, "I understand. You may leave."
"Yes, patriarch."
