The news of the Magical Beast horde attacking the city quickly spread throughout the entire Wake City. Immediately, the entire city began to boil with excitement. The mercenary groups that were originally ready to set off immediately led their brothers towards the city gates as soon as they heard the news.
Although the atmosphere of the city became heavy due to the impending slaughter, there were still many people who were filled with excitement.
Jianchen also left the city lord's mansion as soon as possible and returned to the Kai Clan to gather his troops. He led seven Great Saint Masters and over a hundred members of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group towards the city gates.
Along the way, they couldn't see the caravans that usually carried large carts of goods. Instead, they could only see mercenaries wearing helmets and armor heading in the same direction. Many of them had excited expressions on their faces. For this Magical Beast Wave attack, the Mercenary Union stationed in Wake City had issued a mission. As long as they could take the left ear of a Magical Beast, they would receive a monetary reward corresponding to the rank of the Magical Beast. The more ears they took, the greater the monetary reward. As a result, although the Magical Beast Wave attack was extremely dangerous, and one could lose their life if they weren't careful, the temptation of money still attracted many people who weren't afraid of death.
However, this money was paid by the city lord's mansion. Although it wasn't a small amount, Wake City was very close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and the trade of magic cores was also very large. Therefore, Wake City could be considered quite wealthy. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to build a city wall that was comparable to a first grade city's.
When Jianchen led the hundred or so members of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group to a distance of a thousand meters from the city gates, they couldn't advance any further. This was because there were simply too many people gathered here and the path ahead was completely blocked.
Seeing this, Jianchen took a step back and said to the seven Great Saint Masters behind him, "You guys clear the path!" These seven Great Saint Masters all had a certain amount of fame in Wake City. Quite a few people recognized them, and when they were asked to open the way, very few people didn't give them face. Moreover, this time, all seven of them were walking together. This created an even greater deterrence.
The seven Saint Masters switched positions with Jianchen and released their auras at the same time. Duo Kang opened his mouth and said, "Brothers in front, please move aside!" As they spoke, they deliberately controlled their auras to form an invisible sharp sword that gently pierced into the crowd in front of them. They used their powerful auras to separate the dense crowd in front of them into two sides.
"Eh? Isn't that the leader of the Golden Dragon Mercenary Group? I didn't expect him to come as well …"
"That's the leader of the Hot-Blooded Mercenary Group …"
"It is said that they have disbanded their mercenary group and joined a small mercenary group called Raging Flames. I don't know if this is true …"
As soon as the seven Great Saint Masters appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of quite a few people. Immediately, a wave of discussion sounded out.
Jianchen mixed in with the large group behind him and followed behind the seven Great Saint Masters towards the city gates. He didn't attract much attention. When Jianchen's group was about five hundred meters away from the city walls, there was a sudden commotion in front of them. A group of armored soldiers were walking towards Jianchen's group, and the leader was Commander Duo Li.
"Haha, little brother Jianchen, the city lord and the great envoy are waiting for you on the city walls. Let me lead the way for you." Commander Duo Li saw Jianchen from far away and said in an extremely polite tone.
Hearing this, Jianchen walked out of the crowd and arrived in front of Duo Li. He smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Commander Duo Li."
Afterwards, under the shocked gazes of countless people, Jianchen and Commander Duo Li walked towards the city walls.
Wake City's city walls were built according to the standards of a first class city. It was forty meters high and twenty meters wide. On top of the city walls, there were already soldiers and mercenaries dressed in different attire. However, the mercenaries that were able to come here were either from the powerful factions of Wake City or from the powerful mercenaries. On top of the city walls, there were more than thirty Magic Crystal Cannons lined up in a row. Next to each Magic Crystal Cannon were five soldiers and a large metal chest filled with magic cores.
Commander Duo Li directly brought Jianchen to City Lord Yun Li's side. At this moment, City Lord Yun Li had already changed his clothes and was looking forward with a dignified expression. Next to him stood a few middle aged men. They were all famous people in Wake City. As for the two envoys, they were wearing black robes and were standing far away. They didn't speak to anyone. Even if some people took the initiative to talk to them, the two envoys would ignore them.
"City Lord, what is the current situation with the magical beasts?" Jianchen came to City Lord Yun Li's side and asked in a soft voice.
City Lord Yun Li's eyes were fixed on the front. With a heavy expression, he said, "The situation is very bad. The number of magical beasts this time is much more than the previous times. Little brother Jianchen, take a look. There are tens of thousands of magical beasts. There are simply too many of them."
Hearing this, Jianchen's expression also became somewhat serious. He immediately looked up and saw a black mass of magical beasts slowly advancing towards Wake City. There were so many of them that it was impossible to count. Moreover, they were very disciplined.
Seeing this scene, Jianchen's eyes narrowed. For magical beasts with low intelligence to advance in such a disciplined manner, there must be a Class 5 Magical Beast controlling them from behind. After all, Class 5 Magical Beasts already had a certain level of intelligence. Although they were far from comparable to humans, they were still able to control magical beasts to advance in this manner.
"This time, the magical beasts attacking the city seems a little strange. City Lord Yun Li, I remember that when the magical beasts attacked the city in the past, they would charge towards the city walls without any regard for their lives. How can they maintain such a disciplined pace?" A white haired old man standing next to City Lord Yun Li said with a dignified tone.
"That's right. When Wake City faced the magical beast wave last time, I was also present. This time, the situation is indeed a little strange." The one who spoke was a middle aged man. The middle aged man's eyebrows were tightly knit together with a trace of worry on his face.
Following these two people's words, the other people standing next to City Lord Yun Li also voiced their doubts. To be able to stand here, they were not simple people. Just from this scene alone, they could already see that something was wrong.
