Watching the approaching Commander Level beast horde, everyone's expressions turned grave.
At this moment, Ye Feiyang said solemnly, "All Commander Level Guardian Beasts, go out of the city to meet the enemy. Do not let them attack the city walls."
With Ye Feiyang's words, the captains of the City Defense Army took the lead. All captains are strong at the Soul Master Level, except for Father Chu, who is an exception.
Following closely behind were the three major families and other various forces, in short, all deployable Beast Masters were present.
The number of Commander Level Guardian Beasts was only about two thousand, which is thirty percent less than the beast tide.
However, with the aid of Soul Skills from the Beast Masters, the success rate could reach about sixty percent.
To achieve a sixty percent victory rate despite being outnumbered shows the prowess of the Beast Masters.
Although the intelligence of the Star Beasts is not much inferior to humans, the knowledge accumulated by humans is unmatched by them.
The human side uses slightly weaker Guardian Beasts to hold off the stronger Star Beasts, while the stronger Guardian Beasts kill the weaker Star Beasts.
With the blessings of Soul Skills, Guardian Beasts can unleash even greater combat power.
In just a few minutes, nearly a hundred Star Beasts were killed, while the human side lost only a dozen Guardian Beasts.
As time passes, the numerical gap between both sides will gradually narrow, or even reverse.
At this moment, the battle between those on the city walls and the flying type Star Beasts became increasingly fierce.
The number of casualties on both sides climbed rapidly.
Even with the assistance of Healing Element Guardian Beasts, this trend did not slow down.
Zhang Yingjie watched his Guardian Beast collapse in a pool of blood, his face turning extremely pale. He came to the side of the Guardian Beast and murmured, as if recounting something.
At this moment, an Elemental Light Group suddenly shot from mid-air.
When Zhang Yingjie noticed the danger, it was already too late.
He closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of death. Although he was unwilling, being able to rest with his Guardian Beast was also a good end.
At that moment, a transparent Barrier appeared in front of Zhang Yingjie.
With a "bang," the Barrier shattered, and the Elemental Light Group exploded instantly, directly throwing him away with the shockwave.
At that moment, a big hand caught him, avoiding further injury.
Zhang Yingjie turned his head and found that the owner of the big hand was Li Zitao.
Li Zitao's face was equally pale, obviously, his Guardian Beast had also died in battle.
"Old Zhang, get yourself together. Do you want your Guardian Beast's sacrifice to be in vain?" Li Zitao said gravely.
"Alas! I didn't expect this city defense battle to be so fierce. Do you think we can hold out?" Li Zitao sighed.
"I believe in Lord City Lord. As long as he's here, we can definitely hold out, and we have reasons that we must hold out for."
"Yes, we must hold on, or else our families..."
With this, the two fell into silence.
After a moment, Zhang Yingjie seemed to think of something and quickly said, "Let's go, even though our Guardian Beasts are sacrificed, we are still alive. Let's go to the foot of the city to help the Corpse Clearing Team. The more effort we put in, the more hope there is to hold the city."
"Alright, let's go quickly."
Many others held the same idea, some choosing to do the same as the two, while others used their Soul Power to assist other Guardian Beasts.
In short, no one wanted to give up. This was bound to be a fight to the death.
The Beast King looked at the tense battlefield, eyes full of coldness.
It turned its head and let out a low roar to a ghost-like Star Beast beside it.
This was a humanoid Star Beast, about ten feet tall, with blurred features, its body floating in the air like a ghost.
Upon hearing the Beast King's roar, the Star Beast immediately headed towards the East City Forest.
It was incredibly fast, as if it had no weight, a gust of wind could blow it away.
About a quarter of an hour later, it floated to a filthy ditch in front of which thousands of Star Beasts were gathered, their strength ranging between War General Level and Commander Level.
When these Star Beasts saw the ghost-like Star Beast, they lowered their heads, their eyes filled with fear.
They were very afraid of this Star Beast, more so than the Beast King itself.
The ghost-like Star Beast scanned the crowd and found a snake-like Star Beast looking at it curiously.
Seeing this, it let out a sinister laugh, unlike any sound a normal living creature would make.
The ghost-like Star Beast raised its hand and grabbed the snake-like Star Beast from afar.
The snake-like Star Beast's body suddenly went limp, and a transparent snake-shaped shadow floated out of it.
The shadow seemed to be summoned by something, drifting directly towards the ghost-like creature.
Soon, the shadow reached the front of the ghost, which opened its mouth and swallowed the shadow.
It smacked its lips, showing a satisfied smile, then turned its head to look around.
Seeing this, all the Star Beasts prostrated on the ground, trembling with fear reaching its peak.
The ghost, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction and then floated along the ditch towards its source.
Soon it found the source of the filthy water, which was the northeast corner of the city wall, and it connected to the city's sewer inside.
The so-called source was the outflow of the sewer, guarded by over a hundred City Defense Army members above.
The ghost hid in a shadow, looking up at the City Defense Army with greedy eyes.
It hid in the shadows, slowly approaching the city wall.
The City Defense Army, either watching the battle on the east city wall or looking up at the northern cliff for flying Star Beast attacks.
No one noticed the ghost's approach.
"Captain Li, should we go to support? What's the use of staying here, no Star Beasts are attacking." A young man complained to the middle-aged man beside him.
The middle-aged man glared at him, then kicked him in the butt.
"Ouch! Captain Li, why did you kick me? Was I wrong?" The young man rubbed his butt, dissatisfied.
The middle-aged man said coldly, "Kid, you know nothing. This is the only place not covered by the Defense Array, and from the sewer, they can directly enter the city. Have you thought about what would happen if a Star Beast entered the city here? At best, the city will fall into chaos, at worst, it will lead to the city's downfall."
The young man scratched his head and said, "Captain Li, according to you, guarding this place is indeed a very important task."
"Of course, otherwise why would the Grand Commander assign our battalion here? Don't forget, our battalion is the strongest among all." The middle-aged man said proudly.
The young man quickly nodded in agreement, "That's right, if it were us guarding the city, we'd leave no Star Beast alive."
