The Purple Wolf

After making a detour, Zhang Yun and the others found a place with the least amount of magical beasts.

It was a platform dozens of meters tall. It was like a mountainous attraction in his previous life. Its base was very smooth and it would not be easily climbed. If normal people wanted to climb up there, they would need the staircase that was built into it.

If magical beasts wanted to climb up the platform, not only would they need to climb up the stairs, they would also need to defend against the garrisons on top, as well as break through whatever obstacles that had already been set up on their way up the stairs.

Unless it was the magical beasts with wings that could fly past the walls and directly reach the back of the platform.

However, there were very few flying magical beasts in this horde. There were a few, but they were all heading towards the main battlefield, and could not pay attention to what was happening here.

Even if there were extra flying magical beasts that the horde could send here, it was useless as the archers that were prepared for them would instantly shoot them down. With the wizards' magic, they could not fly over no matter how they tried.

So, this easily defendable place was quite quiet, unlike the other city streets where the humans and magical beasts were already clashing.

Zhang Yun and a few Murlocs sneaked over and looked at the platform's situation from afar. They then ran back and said to Carter, "Carter, I managed to get a good look. There are not many magical beasts within the area. They must have been suppressed by the garrison using the geographical advantage.

"We can send someone over to communicate with them first to prevent them from attacking us by mistake because of the darkness.

"Once we have confirmed it is safe, we can go over together and ask them to send someone to escort us."

Carter nodded and said, "Alright."

With that, Carter waved his hand and the young man called Merlin came over.

"Merlin, you are fast. Go directly over and wave at the army above the platform and see how they react.

"If they respond, then walk up the stairs and tell them about our situation. Have them send people down to escort us.

"If they attack you, then withdraw. Do not…"

Before he could finish, Zhang Yun patted Carter's shoulder and said, "Wait, let Mikoto do this!"

He then explained, "Your men have been fighting the magical beasts all this while and they are running out of stamina. If they misjudged you, they could attack you in full force. If he didn't dodge away, it would be very dangerous for him."

Carter paused, then said, "Yes, you are right. But is Mikoto going to be alright? He has been at the foremost opening up paths for us, will he…"

Zhang Yun responded, "It is alright. Let him go. He still has a lot of stamina in him."

'A lot?!

'His stamina is endless!'

That was because Zhang Yun had given him several dozen Stamina Tablets. As long as his attributes were reduced, he would take a bottle to restore his Stamina. The negative conditions such as fatigue would not exist because of that.

However, if he were to use too many single-use Stamina Tablets, then their effects would diminish. Just like one would become resistant towards a certain medicine. In the end, it would only restore a little bit of Stamina, with its effects almost canceled out.

Therefore, Zhang Yun had brought double insurance and fed Brother Mikoto a Golden Apple. While that would also be affected by resistance, its special effect "Energized" would not.

Therefore, the speed of Brother Mikoto losing his Stamina was only 50 percent of the original rate. With the several dozen Stamina Tablets, he could fight seven bosses in one night with no problem.

If it was not for the Golden Apple, just relying on Brother Mikoto's own Stamina and the several dozen Stamina Tablets, he would probably run out of stamina by around 2 in the morning. All his attributes would also be greatly decreased.

Even if it was just a normal level 20 magical beast, it would have the chance to kill him solo.

Of course, Zhang Yun could also be more persistent, and take out the billions of Stamina Tablets from his Storage, and feed them all to Brother Mikoto despite restoring only one point of Stamina every tablet to support all his stamina needs tonight…

However, Carter and the others did not object much and immediately gave the task of communicating with the army to Brother Mikoto. They themselves would hide in the civilian buildings nearby, waiting for the army's response.

Zhang Yun did not go over together with him. He waited within the buildings with Carter and the rest of the civilians. He would direct his followers to clear out the new groups of magical beasts that would appear on the streets as he paid attention to Brother Mikoto's condition.

At this time, Brother Mikoto would advance on his own without complaint, and he was the new era's number one model worker.

Very quickly, he had arrived at the bottom of the platform. It was littered with the corpses of magical beasts. Those should be the cannon fodder that went straight to the platform and had been killed.

The stairs that led to the platform were also filled with the corpses of magical beasts. Several groups of soldiers were walking among them, and they would move the magical beast corpses and throw them down from the side of the stairs, to where the other magical beast corpses were gathered.

Brother Mikoto did as he was commanded. He came to a location where it was obvious. He then waved his hand in the air, trying to draw the attention of the army on top of the platform.

"Hey, everyone. Look. Something is there… Looks like a person?"

The soldiers guarding the platform had just gone through a battle. They did not dare to relax just yet. That was why they were able to detect Brother Mikoto very quickly, who was waving at them.

A soldier next to him stood up and looked as he asked, "Look carefully. That is no magical beast, yes?"

Another soldier agreed and said, "True! We have fought here for so long, all those that could escape here have already done so. Those that could not either died or locked themselves in their own homes because of the magical beasts. Why would there still be others down there?'

The soldier at the beginning then said, "I will go ask William. That kid has sharp eyes, so he can definitely get a better look. I will also report this to Lord Kent."

He jogged over and found the archer that was resting on the ground, William. He shook him up and said, "Quick! William! Wake up! There is something afar, but we are not sure if it is a man or something else. Quickly go take a look!"

"Alright! At once!" As they were in the middle of a war, William had quickly woken up. He crawled up and quickly ran to the edge of the platform as per the soldier's guidance, and looked at the waving Brother Mikoto.

"That… is a man!"

The soldier next to him was shocked, "You sure? He is someone that had managed to escape from the magical beast horde?"

William nodded, "I am sure! He is waving at me! He should be trying to greet us! Quickly! Wave hands as a response! Then cast a luminous spell on the plaza!"

The other soldiers began to move and said, "Alright!"

"Wait… wait…" William suddenly cried out.

"What is it?"

William's voice began to tremble, his voice filled with fear, "That purple wolf… That purple wolf… it is back…"

'What?!'

All the soldiers were stunned before their faces were filled with anxiety. They yelled out as loud as they could, "Quickly!!!"

"Ring the bell!!!"

"That purple wolf is back!!!"

"The magical beast horde is going to attack us again!!!"

"Get ready everyone!!!"

"Defend against the attack!!!"

Instantly, the sharp ringing of a bell could be heard and all the soldiers that were resting on the platform instantly stood up and took the weapon next to them, and then returned to their posts fully equipped.

Brother Mikoto, who had noticed something was wrong, turned around and managed to see a giant shadow approaching using the luminous magic that was almost dying out. It was a purple wolf the size of an elephant.
