Sword Taibai, one of Douluo

Chapter 76 Beast Tide

There is nothing wrong or right in the fight between man and beast, but only the need for living space.

The extreme northern ice field is too small, and the ice field spirit beasts breed too fast. When too many ice field spirit beasts have no living space, they will attack the human race's frozen city.

The soul beast circle in the far north can accommodate more than 30 soul beasts at most to achieve a virtuous cycle. Once this number is exceeded, the resources of the far north ice field are not enough to sustain the survival of the soul beasts.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the Far North Icefield. Whenever the number of soul beasts reaches 50, the soul beasts will launch a beast wave against the human race.

Until half of the battle is killed or more territory is conquered, the soul beasts in the far north enforce this unwritten rule generation after generation.

The soldiers in Ling Dong City are mostly veterans, and there are very few young and strong recruits. Among them, there will be a group of aristocratic children who come here to earn military merit. If they have enough military merit, they will return to the Central Plains to be promoted.

Most of the veterans in Lingfrog City have participated in four to six beast tides. They are extremely experienced in fighting and have formed some tacit understanding with the soul beasts on the ice field.

Kill the old, weak, sick and disabled soul beasts, while the strong soul beasts will turn a blind eye to it, howl a few times symbolically, rush forward to fight twice, and then pretend to be beaten back, and will not really fight the defenders.

When enough soul beasts have died, the tide of beasts will recede. This is a tacit understanding that has been cultivated for many years. It is also a tacit understanding that is passed down from one generation to another, and one generation of beasts to another.

However, this tacit understanding was broken by the beast wave two months ago.

During that beast tide, the spirit beasts suddenly began to fight tooth and nail, and even dispatched the 10-year-old ferocious beast, the Polar Bear King.

The human race was able to repel the beast tide at the cost of sacrificing one Soul Douluo, several Soul Saints, and nearly a thousand Soul Masters.

Ling Dong City suffered heavy losses this time. As soon as the report to the Tiandou Empire was completed, but before the additional soldiers arrived, the spirit beasts came to attack the city again.

The beast tide that usually occurs every three or four years actually started again after two months.

He directly caught the Lord of Ling Dong City by surprise.

At this time, there were three people sitting in the attic of the city wall of Ling Dong City. The person sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, a strong build and wheat-colored skin, who was pouring himself wine with his head raised.

Sitting on the left side is a man with yellow hair and pale skin. He is holding a wine glass in his hand, drinking wine in small sips, and making "s-ha" sounds from time to time.

Icefield's wine is very strong, called Ice and Fire Wine. One sip can burn the wine from your throat to your stomach. Because of the extreme cold in the Far North, Ice and Fire Wine is more popular.

However, the yellow-haired man obviously couldn't stand the strength of the ice and fire wine, so he drank it hard, which made him feel uncomfortable.

There is also a man sitting on the right side, but this man has his eyes closed from beginning to end.

The man with his eyes closed said, "Don't drink it if you can't drink it. Be careful if you end up on the battlefield and vomit all over the ground. You will become famous after you die."

After finishing speaking, the man closed his eyes and smiled.

The yellow-haired man said angrily: "I have been in the Far North for twenty years, and I have never tasted what this ice and fire wine tastes like. I am going to die today, why can't I take a few sips?"

The middle-aged man at the head drank a jar of wine, waved his hands and said: "Don't say such depressing words, you don't have to die. Blind man, do you have any good strategies?"

The blind man shook his head and said: "No, after all, this is a war between races, and the soul beast side has obviously been planning for a long time. Judging from the way they attacked the city last time, the soul beast side should have a new one. The leaders want to expand the territory of their soul beasts.

If, I mean if, Ge Langhe and the others did not die in the battle, it would not be impossible to organize a surprise army to sneak around and attack the new leaders of the soul beasts. "

The middle-aged man at the head stood up and said, "Then let's see if that beast comes."

Then the men on the left and right stood up and followed, and the blind man spoke again: "Lord City Lord, a Soul Saint has come to the city, and his aura is very strong."

The city lord hurriedly asked: "Where is it?"

Blind man: "The tavern opened by Xing Lao Er should be managed by Xing Lao Er's eldest brother."

The city lord smiled and said: "Let's go."

Just when he was about to go down the tower, he stopped again and said, "No, you can't drag strangers to die."

Blind Man: "You can ask him to spread the news of Ling Dong City's destruction to the Central Plains."

The city lord nodded: "Well, yes, let him leave here quickly and spread the news."

Then he led the two of them towards the tavern where Li Bai was drinking.

In the tavern, Li Bai was drinking ice and fire wine. This wine was very suitable to Li Bai's taste.

Taking a sip into the throat, the wine warms memories and misses me.

After Zhang Mazi took a sip, he quickly asked the waiter to change the drink. He really couldn't stand the strong alcohol.

After three rounds of drinking, the three people upstairs at the city gate came to Li Bai and Zhang Mazi's table and started cooking.

Li Bai glanced at them, took another sip of wine and said, "Sorry, you three, we don't share tables here."

The city lord smiled and said: "Who are you two from?"

When Zhang Mazi saw the visitor dressed in military uniform, he immediately replied: "Yes, my two brothers came from Zu'an Province and planned to go to the Far North Icefield for some experience.

Military lords, what do you mean? "

The city lord's expression turned bitter and he sighed: "Oh, I'm afraid you two won't be able to go to the Far North Icefield."

Zhang Mazi: "How do you say this?"

The city lord said solemnly: "The 40 orc army is approaching the city from north to south. Ling Dong City is about to be destroyed."

Zhang Mazi: "In all these years, I have never heard of soul beasts invading human territory. Why would the general say that?"

The city lord frowned and said: "I believe that with your strength, you should be able to feel the battle outside the city. There are less than ten thousand defenders. With such an offensive, Ling Dong City will be destroyed in less than three days."

Zhang Mazi: "Since you know you can't defend it, why doesn't the city lord of Ling Dong City evacuate the civilians quickly? What are you doing now?"

The blond man became angry and said, "Where can the residents of Lingfrog City be evacuated to?"

The city lord waved his hand to signal the blond man to stop talking, and he continued: "There is no soul master among the residents of Lingdong City, but those who have the strength of a soul master have gone to defend the city.

The nearest town to Lingfrog City is a journey of eight hundred miles. Not to mention whether we can get there in three days. Without the help of a soul master, it would be difficult not to freeze to death on this snowy road.

And after Ling Dong City was broken, the soul beast army did not need to be reorganized at all, and would quickly move south again. The small town did not even have city walls, how could it withstand the baptism of hundreds of thousands of soul beast armies? "

Zhang Mazi: "What do those military masters think of coming to us?"

City Lord: "Send a message to spread the news that the soul beast has broken through the city, so that the Tiandou Empire can quickly send troops to suppress it."

Zhang Mazi: "May I ask what the general's name is?"

City Lord: "Xie Dashan, Lord of Ling Dong City."

??I have recovered from my illness. I owe five or six updates. I will make up for it slowly.
