Chapter 921: The Ubiquitous Military Force (3)
Long Xueyao smiled and said, “It has been like this since my grandfather built this city. You don’t need to be afraid; they won’t do anything to the people in the city. They are mainly guarding against demons and the rare beast tides.”
The city had been this well-protected since the very beginning?
Shen Yanxiao was speechless as she looked blankly at the sky. That was to say, even when Blizzard City had been fully prepared to face off against a beast tide, it still fell.
The first generation Blizzard City had been reduced to ruins under the attack of the beast tide!
What if Sun Never Sets were to encounter a beast tide?
People who gave no thought to the problems of the future would soon suffer.
Looking at the military strength of Blizzard City, Shen Yanxiao could not help but break out in cold sweat for Sun Never Sets’s future.
“Was the beast tide scary?” Shen Yanxiao remembered the words of that sage impostor.
In a year’s time, another beast tide would reappear in the Forsaken Land; she did not have much time left.
The smile on Long Xueyao’s face slowly faded, leaving a slight frown behind.
“I didn’t experience it, but my father said that my grandfather had suffered a lot after the beast tide. At that time, there were 50,000 elite members of Blizzard Mercenary Group stationed outside of Blizzard City, and there were also 10,000 elite members from each of the big four mercenary groups. Even with these 90,000 elite mercenaries fighting valiantly for their city and their lives, none of them returned alive. The population of the city quickly declined, leaving only commoners. The only one who escaped was my grandfather, who was desperately protected by his contractual mythical beast. After escorting my grandfather out, that mythical beast was seriously injured and was forced to sleep for nearly a hundred years before waking up again. And now, its strength is much weaker compared to how it was before. Its strength has now declined to the level of a high-level rank eight magical beast.”
The beast tide had been the eternal nightmare of the Blizzard Mercenary Group.
In just five days, countless people were buried under the sea of blood brought by the beast tide. The first generation Blizzard City, which had taken more than ten years to build, was also reduced to ashes.
Shen Yanxiao listened in trepidation.
With tens of thousands of elite mercenaries and even more commoners guarding the city walls, they had only lasted for five days?
And they had even lost a mythical beast?
What kind of horrible calamity was that?!
Shen Yanxiao finally understood why even the God Realm, an organization that rarely appeared in the public eye, would be so proactive to ask about the beast tide. No one could resist such a calamity.
Moreover, the demon beasts that attacked Blizzard City back then were not the main force of the beast tide. Just a branch cut off from the main force alone was enough to reap the lives of thousands of people and the strength of a mythical beast…
If the main force had attacked then, wouldn’t that mean…
Shen Yanxiao did not dare to continue with her thoughts. Originally, she thought that the invincible walls of Sun Never Sets and the eight mythical beasts in her hands could resist the beast tide, but it seemed that she had been too naive!
Fortunately, she had asked before it was too late. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would still be in the dark of potential damage a beast tide might cause.
“The beast tide is a nightmare for everyone in the Forsaken Land. Fortunately, there has not been a beast tide for a very long time.” Long Xueyao took a deep breath. As the daughter of Long Fei, she had heard many rumors about the beast tide from her father since she was young.
Shen Yanxiao could not say anything, because she knew that there was only a year or so before the next beast tide would hit.
A hundred years ago, there was only one human city in the Forsaken Land, Blizzard City. But now, there were already six cities. The four countries of the Brilliance Continent each had their own city.
Shen Yanxiao wondered which of the four cities would be unfortunate enough to suffer from a beast tide this time around.
