Following the destruction of the Royal City, the players of the Huaxia Region were bound to swarm into the three dynasties. This was a valuable resource, and Ouyang Shuo couldn't fall behind the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Jianye's Snow Rose Mercenary Group and Xianyang's Baleful Blood Mercenary Group had already decided to move their headquarters to Shanhai City. More than 90% of their members had migrated to Great Xia.
As for Jianye and Xianyang, only one branch remained.
Shanhai City was as prosperous as any of the royal cities. Not only was it the most prosperous place in the Huaxia Region, but it was also the center of global trade.
Even Quanzhou's Flowing Light Pavilion had moved their headquarters to Shanhai City.
Capital's Unstoppable Sword Aura, Xiangyang's Eighteen Steeds of Swallow and Cloud, and Chang 'an's Embroidered Uniform Guards had all moved to Handan City and settled in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Chengdu's Laojun Temple had already slipped away when Great Xia besieged Chengdu County.
The most special was Luoyang's Tingyu Pavilion. They didn't choose to move to the Great Xia Dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty. Instead, they were determined to settle in the Great Han Dynasty.
From the looks of it, the influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still the same among the super guilds.
However, apart from the super guilds, the large and medium-sized guilds, as well as the small guilds, including the casual players, all chose the Great Xia Dynasty and teleported to Shanhai City.
Then, they passed through Shanhai City and flowed into the local counties.
In just two days, the number of adventurer players in Great Xia had reached 20 million, and they were still being teleported over. Great Xia had earned millions of gold coins just from the teleportation fees.
It was foreseeable that in less than a week, more than 70% of the players in the Huaxia Region would settle in Great Xia, achieving the goal that Ouyang Shuo had set.
Great Xia and the Huaxia Region were almost equal.
Although the influx of adventurer players posed a challenge to the security of the counties, it could also greatly stimulate the local consumption and promote the prosperity of local businesses and industrial upgrading.
In the process of reducing the number of adventurer players, the counties of Great Xia had already established a relatively complete system of bailiffs. Although there would be a certain impact on the government, Ouyang Shuo believed that it could be digested.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the 4th of January.
At eight o 'clock in the morning, without any notification or system announcement, a huge black fog suddenly appeared in the global wilderness. It surged up and down, and an ear-piercing howl came from the black fog.
Some of the black mist appeared in farmlands, some not far from cities, some near villages, some on official roads, and some deep in forests.
When the black mist dissipated, grotesquely shaped caves appeared out of thin air. They were deep and terrifying.
Then, ugly monsters that were more than two meters long, had thick limbs, and had dark skin, dark green skin, and gray skin surged out of the cave in groups.
The rows of sharp fangs were enough to make people shiver in fear.
"Roar ~ ~ ~"
Occasionally, there would be one or two super monsters that were four to five meters tall among the monsters. They looked like prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the moment they appeared, they released a fierce presence.
What was even more surprising was that there were even flying monsters in the sky. Their wings were six to seven meters long, just like the winged dragons. They were the true overlords of the sky.
The beast tide that gushed out of the cave was bound to set off a monstrous massacre.
Wherever it passed, both humans and animals died.
The test given by Gaia was clearly much harsher than the players had imagined.
…
Lianzhou Basin, Shanhai City.
A giant monster nest had appeared in the grasslands to the north of Shanhai City.
When the black mist rose into the air, everyone in the city could see it clearly. The roars of the monsters could be heard from afar, causing people's hearts to go numb.
There was an unavoidable commotion in the city, but it quickly calmed down.
When Ouyang Shuo received the news, he decided to personally lead his troops to investigate. The monster tide was one of their biggest enemies on Planet Hope. How could Ouyang Shuo be at ease without getting a closer look?
Zhao Sihu led the first legion of the city guards to the frontlines.
Ouyang Shuo didn't delay any longer. After handing over the command of troops to the Grand Council, he hurried out of the city with the three thousand Shenwu Guards and headed for the monster nest.
Accompanying him were Bloody Romance, Xie Siyun, and the other guild leaders. Although they had fought against monsters in the Underworld before, the monsters that spawned this time were clearly different.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at their destination.
The city guards had already engaged the monster horde. When Zhao Sihu learned that His Majesty was coming, he hurried over to report.
"Your Majesty!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded, dismounted, and asked, "What's the situation?"
"There are about a thousand monsters surging out of this place. There are two large Tyrannosaurus, twelve Pterosaurs, and the rest are basically Stegosaurs and small Draconians."
When Gaia released the Monster Tide Attack, there was a simple introduction to the different types of monsters. As a King-class historical genius, Zhao Sihu had a communications compass, so he naturally knew about it.
The monsters on Planet Hope were very similar to dinosaurs. To be precise, they were more like a group of dinosaurs that had undergone a second evolution. While shrinking their bodies, they had stronger muscles, tougher skin, sharper claws, and fangs, stronger explosive power, and a terrifying reproduction speed.
The last point was the most fatal. The entire Planet Hope seemed to be their world.
Because of this, Gaia named these monsters after dinosaurs.
As for whether they were like the Western legends, where they could spit fire, the advance fleet had not yet gathered any relevant information. Naturally, Gaia had no way of determining.
Even so, it was already very terrifying.
According to Zhao Sihu's description, ordinary swords and sabers would find it difficult to deal fatal damage to the monsters without the infusion of inner force. It was already very fortunate to be able to break through their skin.
As for bows and arrows, they were even more ineffective. Only sharp weapons like the Three Bows Eight Bulls Bed Crossbow could pose a threat to the monsters. Even the Divine Crossbow appeared powerless.
What was even more troublesome was that the mounts could not stand steadily in front of the monster horde. Even the Cyan Beetle Horse could not do it. This also meant that the cavalry could only abandon their horses and fight, crippling half of their martial arts.
Against the monster horde, they clearly could not use conventional tactics.
In just a short period of time, the First City Guard Legion had already lost more than six hundred people.
When Ouyang Shuo heard that, his expression turned solemn.
"Let's go to the front lines to take a look!"
Ouyang Shuo no longer hesitated as he led the Divine Martial Guards to the battle zone. When Zhao Sihu saw this, he immediately chased after him. At the same time, he secretly dispatched troops to protect the King's safety.
After walking for less than a kilometer, a Pterosaur flew towards them.
The beast spread its six-meter-long wings and flew close to the ground at a low altitude. With a "whoosh", it leaped into the midst of the city guards. When it flew up again, a city guard soldier was already hanging from its hind claws.
The Pterosaur flew high and released its claws. The soldier fell from the sky, obviously dead.
