Chapter 537 - 25 Beast Tide Attacks
The beast tide arrived ahead of schedule this time, and Pudas from Jiutong Mountain could no longer return safely. The City Lord ordered a team to rush to Jiutong Mountain to help the scholars defend against the beast tide’s attack.
As Lu Hong climbed atop the city walls, he saw the black fog on the horizon spreading continuously towards the city.
The City Lord stood beside Lu Hong and spoke, "If you are willing, you can assist us in killing the Demon Beasts, but I hope you will be cautious. Spring Fragrance Pavilion may take advantage of the chaos to strike against you. I must confront the leader of the beast tide and cannot protect you at the same time. If the battle becomes chaotic, it would be best for you to voluntarily retreat to the City Lord Mansion. I have set up sufficient power there to ensure your safety."
"Thank you, City Lord. Although I am of the Human Race, I am willing to do my part for City 022."
Seeing Lu Hong’s earnest attitude, the City Lord nodded slightly, "This beast tide is unusual and likely has a lot to do with Defense Line Three, an area guarded by the forces of Spring Fragrance Pavilion."
The City Lord’s words were loaded with implication, and Lu Hong also realized that this beast tide might be even more dangerous than previous ones. Besides the Demon Beasts, they had to fend off threats from behind.
"City Lord, why don’t you seal off Spring Fragrance Pavilion at this critical moment?"
"It is not possible," the City Lord said with a solemn voice as he gazed at the beast tide drawing closer. "When the beast tide erupts, Spring Fragrance Pavilion provides its services to the soldiers for free. If I were to suddenly close it down now, it would surely lead to instability within the ranks and greater problems later on."
"Uh...," Lu Hong rolled his eyes, thinking that the Eternal Race really had no restraint in these matters, which is exactly why they deserve to be taken advantage of.
After the conversation ended, the City Lord stepped into the air and launched the first attack on the beast tide a kilometer away.
