Enter at the beginning to reach the semi-holy level and summon two great gods and demons

Among these ferocious beasts, how many are acquired and how many are innate? Perhaps even semi-saint level beasts?

Perhaps beasts of that level are rare, but surely there must be a few among hundreds of thousands.

If he fails to hold them back here, Kaiyang County will inevitably fall. And once it falls, the tens of millions of people in Kaiyang County will be slaughtered by these beasts! He will become a sinner of the Divine Xuan Dynasty! Death a thousand times over would not atone for his crime.

And this is only the direct impact of the beast calamity.

The deeper, more profound impacts will bring even greater turmoil to the dynasty.

"Leave a portion of the troops to garrison Beitai County. The rest will assist Kaiyang County. At the same time, order all martial artists and Jianghu organizations to participate in the war. Anyone who dares to desert will be considered a traitor!" Marquis Beiyang, after the initial shock, quickly issued orders.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!" The general who reported the news clasped his sword with both hands and immediately went to deliver the order.

"I implore Saint Hongyuan to lend a hand! I beg you!" After the general left, Marquis Beiyang looked at Saint Hongyuan, dressed in a pink robe, and pleaded.

"Rest assured, the late Emperor ordered this Saint to guard this place. This concerns the fate of the nation and the lives of the people. This Saint will not turn a blind eye!" Saint Hongyuan said.

However, that's just what he said.

Saint Hongyuan's expression sank, and his heart was extremely heavy.

Although Saints are extremely powerful in martial arts,

they are ultimately mortals.

Hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts are a great pressure even for him.

Kaiyang County is next to Beitai County.

To facilitate dealing with the beasts in both counties, Marquis Beiyang set up camp at the border of the two counties. Right now, everyone is rushing to the defense line of Kaiyang County.

Here, small groups of ferocious beasts have already attempted to break through the defense line and enter the hinterland of Kaiyang County, but they have all been repelled. However, standing here, they can increasingly feel the earth shaking from the stampede of the large beast army.

At most, in half an hour, they will fully invade the defense line!

"A hundred years... only a hundred years, and the Myriad Beast Mountains are stirring again. If they really launch a full-scale attack, how will our Divine Xuan Dynasty resist this time, with the late Emperor gone?" Saint Hongyuan, dressed in a pink robe, was extremely conspicuous among the generals. At this moment, his mood was incredibly heavy.

Previously, he did not believe that the Myriad Beast Mountains could recover in these hundred years, but now it seems, perhaps it's not so!

The ferocious beasts already have a tendency to gather blood and food. The Myriad Beast Mountains are very likely to launch another beast calamity.

But this time, the late Emperor is suspected to have fallen and is missing.

The seven Saints of the world are one strongest person short, and their strength has sharply declined.

Once the war starts, who can resist?

Saint Hongsha? No, he is a member of the Hongsha Holy Church and may not help the Divine Xuan Dynasty. A hundred years ago, it was the late Emperor who personally persuaded him to join the allied forces against the Myriad Beast Mountains, but now... the late Emperor is gone.

Saint Hongyuan's heart sank.

"What about the request for help sent to the imperial court? Has there been a reply?"

While Saint Hongyuan was lost in thought, Marquis Beiyang, who had calmed down slightly, asked.

His command has a large number of garrison troops, but tens of thousands of ferocious beasts rushing in will inevitably result in heavy losses. Dealing with ferocious beasts can only be achieved by using numbers to gain victory, which can minimize casualties to the greatest extent.

"Reporting to the Marquis, the Ministry of War has replied, asking us to hold on for as long as possible. The Emperor has ordered the military camps stationed in other counties to transfer manpower and rush here!" the general replied.

"Hopefully, they'll be quick!" Marquis Beiyang's expression was heavy.

The sudden appearance of hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts in the Luan Yang Mountains was something he had not anticipated. Now, he only hopes that the imperial court's reinforcements can arrive sooner, or else...

"Marquis Beiyang, this Saint forgot to bring my weapon. I'll return to the Holy Land first..." At this moment, Saint Hongyuan suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to bring a weapon. He manipulated his twin swords and instantly fled.

"This..." Marquis Beiyang was stunned on the spot.

............

On the other side.

With the amplification of the divine power of the imperial decree,

in just a short hour,

Wuming crossed tens of thousands of miles and entered Kaiyang County.

The scene that greeted his eyes

caused Wuming to frown slightly.

The situation in Kaiyang County was much worse than he had imagined.

A large number of people were migrating in the direction Wuming had come from.

Clearly, the beastly unrest in Kaiyang County had reached a very serious level, endangering the safety of all the people, which was why the people were fleeing towards the hinterland of the dynasty.

The next moment, he took out a communication jade talisman and spoke softly.

............

Guangtai City.

The third city in Kaiyang County adjacent to the Luan Yang Mountains.

Due to the sudden appearance and charge of hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts, the first two cities had basically fallen, and all the garrison troops had retreated into Guangtai City.

Guangtai City is only two or three hundred miles away from the center of Kaiyang County. Once it falls, large-scale ferocious beasts will be able to directly enter the center of Kaiyang County, causing this place to completely fall.

Saint Hongyuan's sudden departure greatly weakened the defense line, which made Marquis Beiyang feel quite anxious.

Just as he was anxiously waiting for Saint Hongyuan,

a voice rang out from the communication jade talisman.

"Commander of the Imperial Palace Guards?"

Marquis Beiyang's heart shook.

"Marquis, there is a middle-aged swordsman outside who claims to be from the Imperial Capital, holding the Emperor's decree, requesting to see you!" A soldier rushed over to report.

"Quickly, invite him in!"

Marquis Beiyang said.

He had lived in Beixu Prefecture for a long time.

He did not know who the Commander of the Imperial Palace Guards was.

But the other party held the Emperor's decree, undoubtedly representing the Emperor's personal presence.

Naturally, he could not neglect him.

Moreover, he had some understanding of the duties of the Commander of the Imperial Palace Guards, which was to protect the Emperor's safety. This position could only be held by at least a semi-saint. Under the current circumstances, the more powerful people, the better.

Soon, Marquis Beiyang personally received Wuming.

"What a strong aura, even I can't see through it!" Upon seeing Wuming for the first time, Marquis Beiyang was slightly shocked. The feeling the other party gave him was like an unparalleled sword, its aura incomparably sharp!

"His Majesty orders this Commander to supervise the task of exterminating the ferocious beasts throughout the entire process, and to ensure that all the ferocious beasts that invade the dynasty's territory are completely killed!"

Wuming handed the imperial decree to Marquis Beiyang. After the other party confirmed that it was correct, he took back the imperial decree and asked:

"What is the current situation?"

"Reporting to the Imperial Envoy, just now, the defense line was breached by tens of thousands of ferocious beasts. The soldiers on the defense line didn't have time to prepare and lost... two cities!" Marquis Beiyang stated the current situation.

Chapter 62 Wuming: Myriad Swords Return to Origin

His expression was full of grief.

In the previous wave of ferocious beast attacks, although the soldiers reacted quickly,

they were caught off guard and suffered thousands of casualties, and even some of the people who were still evacuating were killed in the two cities.

"Are there any Saint Beasts among those ferocious beasts?" Wuming nodded and asked.

"No. If there were Saint Beasts among those hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts, less than 10% of the soldiers would be able to retreat from the front line!" Marquis Beiyang shook his head.

The Saint Beasts of the ferocious beast clan are not the same concept as the Saints of the human race. They are thick-skinned, large, and have immense strength, making them difficult to kill. Once they appear, they are city-destroying weapons, and it is difficult for soldiers to escape from the mouths of such ferocious beasts.

And the front line, including the city they are currently in, will be destroyed once they appear.

"In that case, then follow me to open the city and face the enemy." Wuming instructed.

As soon as Wuming finished speaking, Marquis Beiyang's expression changed.

He never expected that the first order Wuming gave after arriving with the Emperor's decree was to have him open the city gates and engage in close combat with the ferocious beasts.

This made Marquis Beiyang hesitate instantly.

You must know that the ferocious beasts themselves are thick-skinned, and the soldiers cannot gain any advantage by confronting them head-on. Defending against ferocious beasts basically relies on advantageous terrain such as city walls to consume the number of ferocious beasts first, and only when it is unavoidable will they choose to engage in melee combat.

Moreover, the soldiers are already frightened by the hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts.

Opening the city gates at this time and actively facing the enemy, using their own weaknesses to fight against the strengths of the ferocious beasts, will inevitably reduce their combat power.

With this ebb and flow, even if they manage to win this battle, I am afraid that most of the million soldiers will be lost, and the rest may be disabled, requiring the dynasty to support them for the rest of their lives. The impact will be extremely far-reaching.

Therefore, even though Wuming had arrived with the Emperor's decree, Marquis Beiyang did not immediately comply.

"Rest assured, this Commander will not let you directly face hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts in this battle. All you have to do is assist this Commander in clearing out the ferocious beasts that invade the dynasty's territory." Wuming saw Marquis Beiyang's concerns.

However, after discovering that there were no Saint Beasts among the ferocious beasts,

he had this idea.

His Myriad Swords Return to Origin is different from Sword Saint's Sword Twenty-Three.

The latter is extremely powerful, with terrifying lethality, but it only targets a single target.

The former is a large-scale destructive divine ability.

It can target individuals, and it can also kill groups.

If there were Saint Beasts among this group of ferocious beasts, Wuming might choose to solve the Saint Beasts first, and then talk about exterminating hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts, but now, naturally, there is no need.

It's just that the number of hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts is too large.

The Saint power in his body is limited, and the ferocious beasts are living creatures. Once attacked, they will definitely scatter and escape, making it impossible to completely exterminate them. Therefore, the assistance of Marquis Beiyang and others is needed.

"..." Marquis Beiyang looked worried.

"This person can come with the Imperial Decree, he shouldn't be an idiot. In addition, the aura he has that even I can't see through, could he be a Saint?" Marquis Beiyang's mind was active, and he pondered slightly:
