After killing a soldier, the pterosaur swooped down again and arrived above Ouyang Shuo.
"Protect the king!"
The Divine Martial Guards were ready. Xu Chu stood with his sword in hand.
Ouyang Shuo's expression didn't change. He unsheathed the Crimson Night Sword and focused. Although he had lost his Ethereal Force, his physical strength was still extremely strong. His senses were as sharp as ever.
The moment the pterosaur extended its claws, Ouyang Shuo dodged to the side. The Crimson Night Sword drew a red arc in the air and ruthlessly slashed at the claws.
With a flash of blood, the pterosaur's claws were severed. The pterosaur wailed.
The power of a divine weapon was not easy to deal with!
Xu Chu also performed a meritorious deed. He waved his long sword, and the blade glowed with white light. It was the image of condensed Ethereal Force. He slashed at the pterosaur's left wing with lightning speed.
"Roar ~ ~ ~ ~"
The pterosaur couldn't take it anymore and fell to the ground. It staggered a few steps and was killed by the Divine Martial Guards.
Seeing this, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
They didn't expect that they would poke the hornet's nest. When they heard the pterosaur's last wail, the eleven pterosaurs circling in the air all flew over.
Even the two giant tyrannosauruses glanced in their direction.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect this monster to be so intelligent. His evaluation of it increased a little.
Zhao Sihu was about to mobilize the troops to gather here, but Ouyang Shuo stopped him. "Go and command the troops to kill the other beasts. Leave this place to the Divine Martial Guards."
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Sihu didn't dare to disobey the military order.
This was the first time they fought against a beast wave, so the city guards were clearly not used to it. Fortunately, they were all seasoned veterans. Otherwise, their morale would have collapsed.
"These monsters are not simple!"
At this moment, Bloody Romance and the others also arrived. They scattered around, ready to fight the pterosaurs. As the best of the combat players, they were more experienced in fighting monsters than the Divine Martial Guards.
As they spoke, the pterosaur swooped down.
Looking at its speed, it was clearly faster than the previous pterosaur. In the blink of an eye, it was about to attack.
This was especially true for the Pterosaur in the lead. When it spread its wings, it had a wingspan of eight meters. Its hind legs were incomparably strong, and its sharp claws were retracted upwards, ready to attack at any time.
Before the Winged Dragon even got close, Ouyang Shuo felt a gust of violent wind in his surroundings. Sand and stones were flying and dust was billowing, and it affected Ouyang Shuo's vision.
"What a cunning beast!"
Ouyang Shuo didn't dare dally. He held his breath in concentration and firmly locked onto the Pterosaur's sharp claws.
Right at this moment, the Pterosaur's sharp claws struck out like lightning. They were like two iron pincers that wanted to clamp down on Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo was greatly shocked. He had misjudged the speed of the opponent's attack, and it was already too late for him to move sideways.
In a moment of desperation, Ouyang Shuo simply fell to the ground, narrowly dodging the attack.
The pterosaur's attack missed, so it slightly flapped its wings and actually hovered in the air. Its sharp claws struck out once more, aiming straight for Ouyang Shuo's chest.
If he was caught, even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured.
How could Ouyang Shuo resign himself to death? His left hand supported on the ground while his right hand circulated the Crimsonnight Sword to meet the attack. The Pterosaur had seen the might of the Crimsonnight Sword before, so it didn't dare to meet it head on and revealed a trace of hesitation.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the situation to straighten his upper body, and the Crimsonnight Sword pierced forward. Subsequently, it drew an arc in the air and circled around the Pterosaur's claws.
Fresh blood splattered everywhere.
The sharp claws, skin, tendons, and bones were all severed, and it was already crippled.
"Aooo ~ ~ ~"
The Pterosaur was injured, and its blood was actually aroused. It forcefully endured the intense pain and swooped down recklessly, and its uninjured sharp claws clawed towards Ouyang Shuo's head.
"Heh!"
Ouyang Shuo sneered as he exerted force with his left hand and spun on the spot. He'd already circled around the Pterosaur, and the Crimsonnight Sword pierced out once more, aiming straight for the Pterosaur's throat.
Ouyang Shuo had already exerted his full strength in this move.
The Crimsonnight Sword transformed into a red light, and half of the sword's blade pierced into the Pterosaur's throat.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Ouyang Shuo pulled out his sword and swiftly dodged to the side, but he was still splashed with blood. The Pterosaur Chieftain fell to the ground, dead. Its rugby ball-shaped head smashed into the ground, revealing a row of fangs.
While Ouyang Shuo was dealing with the battle, Bloody Romance and the others also managed to kill the Pterosaur. From the looks of it, in front of true experts, the Pterosaurs were still somewhat lacking.
However, for the soldiers, this was already a huge test. Even the valiant Divine Martial Guards had instantly lost three men to the Pterosaur's ambush.
Ouyang Shuo was a little worried about the defense of the other monster nests.
Next, Ouyang Shuo led the Divine Martial Guards and smoothly killed two more Pterosaurs, helping the city guards take control of the situation. Even so, the battle only ended in the afternoon.
Compared to the Pterosaur, the Pterosaur's huge body was actually a weakness in front of experts. As long as they avoided the Pterosaur's biting and stomping, and had a bit of patience, they could chop off the Pterosaur's pillar-like limbs one by one.
However, for the ordinary soldiers, the Pterosaur was a true killing machine. When it charged into the army formation, practically no one could stop it. With a single stomp, it could turn a person into meat paste.
In order to surround and kill the beast horde, the First Corps of the city guards lost more than 1,800 soldiers.
… …
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo hurried back to Shanhai City with a slightly heavy heart.
Ouyang Shuo could be considered to have experienced the power of the beast horde. The entire territory of Great Xia would face such a cruel test. Because the territory was too vast, it was inevitable that the common people would suffer from the disaster.
Xia Palace, Grand Council.
"How is it, have the statistics of the various places been calculated?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Military Affairs Minister Du Ruhui nodded, handed over a letter, and briefly said, "According to the statistics, a total of 82 monster nests have appeared in the Dynasty, on average, there is one in each county. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that some of the monster nests have appeared in the deep mountains and dense forests, but for the time being, we haven't found any traces of them. "
"There are big and small monster nests. The biggest nest has more than two thousand monsters, and the smallest nest has less than a hundred monsters. The distribution of the nests is also extremely uneven, some counties have none, some counties have three nests. "
Ouyang Shuo asked, "How is the disaster situation?"
"The cabinet is still calculating the detailed situation. Currently, the most severely affected is Lingnan Province, there have been eight monster nests in this province, the largest one is here. The Fourth and Fifth Corps of the Brave Tiger Army received the transfer order, although they traveled day and night, only the vanguard troops reached Lingnan Province. "
"Because of this, the Grand Council has already urgently transferred the First Corps of the Imperial Guards to Lingnan Province to suppress the situation, but the nests are located far away from Zhenhai City, and there is already a county town that has been breached by the beast horde."
"… …"
Ouyang Shuo's face darkened.
He did not need to think to know what kind of fate the local people would face after the county town was breached by the beast horde. These beasts were simply killing machines, all of them bloodthirsty.
They did not kill people purely to fill their stomachs.
Seeing this, Du Ruhui continued to report, "The situation in Liao Jin Province is not too good, the Northern Frontier Army is already somewhat unable to suppress the situation. The Second Corps of the Imperial Guards has already rushed over to reinforce. "
