The Situation Might Not Be as Bad as It Seems

While the soldiers were still wondering if the admiral was showing off his might outside the city wall, Xu Mo had already capsized six monsters and killed them one by one.

Cheers sounded from the wall again, but his expression was unusually solemn.

Without personally standing below the wall and facing the beast tide's impact, one wouldn't feel insignificance as an individual.

Just like in front of him, even if Xu Mo had defeated the monsters in an extremely short period, his strength was too limited compared to the tens of thousands of monsters in front of him.

However, because of his actions, the lifeless atmosphere on the city wall instantly cleared up.

Especially when they saw him effortlessly clearing out the monsters ramming against the wall, the soldiers couldn't help but cheer in unison.

"Beautifully done! This is simply too amazing!"

"That person isn't the admiral. Considering his military uniform, he should be one of us. Why haven't I seen him before?"

"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"

"That's great, then we wouldn't have to worry so much about the city walls anymore. Long live the reinforcements!"

When Xu Mo heard the voices from the city wall, a sense of pride welled up in his heart!

Even though his strength was limited, as long as he was here, he would not let a single monster break through the wall.

"What are you all doing? Kill those bastards for me. Are you trying to tire me to death by letting so many of them in?"

Xu Mo raised his head and yelled at the soldiers on the wall. His loud yelling was accurately aimed toward them, leaving the soldiers shocked in an instant.

However, they weren't angry at Xu Mo's rudeness. Instead, their morale was boosted.

The soldiers swarmed back to their positions and launched stronger bombing at the monsters outside the city!

"Kill those bastards! Kill them all!"

"We absolutely cannot allow another one to charge below the city walls. We will not let any of the people below the walls get any more military merits!"

"That's right, we can't let another one of them come over! Kill them!"

The morale on the city wall had been restored. With Xu Mo cleaning up the gaps below, the defense in this section could be said to be impregnable.

Xu Mo still couldn't rest from fighting, but the monsters that could break through the bombardment and rush to the city wall gradually decreased.

Even if there were still fish that escaped the net, facing Xu Mo's halberd, not a single one of them could knock down the city wall.

"Roar!"

The beast tide became restless. Although they had low intelligence, they knew what fear was.

Their animal instincts made them feel a strong fright toward the humans on the city wall.

The humans on the other side were too strong, and the weapons they had brought them almost unbearable losses.

Even if they were able to reach the walls, the single human Inheritor guarding there could actually kill all of their companions!

The beast tide's speed began to slow down, and some even began to retreat.

Faced with high-tech weapons and Xu Mo's powerful pressure, the monsters were actually afraid.

"Roar… Roar…"

However, just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a long roar suddenly came from the dense forest.

The horde of monsters, which were hesitating and had already begun to retreat, suddenly changed their moods when they heard this angry roar.

The monsters that had retreated turned around again. As for the hesitating ones, their eyes turned back to blood red. They roared crazily toward the city wall.

Not only that, they moved fast, and no longer pounced on the wall in a disorderly manner like before.

Instead, they became organized and quickly divided into countless formations. Moreover, the front row was led by the monsters with the strongest defense!

Then, they swarmed toward the city wall and pounced once again.

On the city wall, Admiral Zeng Rong looked at the beast tide that was swarming toward the city wall again, his eyes flickering with a doubtful light.

"What happened? How do these monsters know formations? Could it be that just now..."

Zeng Rong was muttering in his heart. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed drastically.

Below the city wall, Xu Mo looked at the neatly arranged beast group opposite him, his expression turning ugly.

The beast tide at the front was made up of a type of monster called the Armored Diamond Beast.

The monster was huge, and its skin was covered with high-intensity armor. Unless it was hit by a strong laser cannon or an electromagnetic cannon, it would be paralyzed for a moment at most before it could charge at the city wall again.

"This is the standard attack formation. These low-level monsters shouldn't be able to understand this. Could it be..."

Xu Mo thought of a possibility, but soon, he did not have time to think about it. This was because the beast tide had already gone past the firepower attacks from the city wall and was approaching 50 meters below. As long as they took a few more steps forward, they could threaten the wall's safety.

"I can't care about anything else. I'll kill you bastards first!"

Xu Mo brandished his Thunderous Flame Sky-Shaking Halberd and attacked again. This time, he was going to face the beast group's frontal attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The halberd swept toward the Armored Diamond Beast. It could even pierce through a wall made of special alloy material, so how could a mere 3-star Silver rank monster's scales block it?

Wherever Xu Mo passed by, the Armored Diamond Beasts were in chaos and would instantly die.

Without protection from the Armored Diamond Beasts, the monsters behind them became the best targets on the city wall.

There was almost no need to aim. The firepower poured down and swept across a large area!

Xu Mo leaped a few times and returned to the city wall. He put away the Thunderous Flame Sky-Shaking Halberd.

Just now, he had used a lot of energy below. He had almost knocked down all the Armored Diamond Beasts by himself and had almost been hit by the soldiers' artillery. Due to this, he spent a lot of energy.

However, before he could catch his breath, Zeng Rong arrived in front of him.

"Xu Mo, did you hear that abnormal beast roar just now?"

He nodded but did not express his opinion. "Admiral, what does that roar mean?"

"We're in big trouble!" Zeng Rong's expression was solemn. "I'm afraid there are high-level monsters in the beast tide opposite us."

"How high can their levels be?" At this moment, the entire Blue Dragon Division appeared behind Zeng Rong.

"Admiral, don't scare us. We're timid and can't stand being frightened!"

Zhu Jian's tone was relaxed. He had just repelled a wave of beasts, but he did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

"They are at least Platinum-ranked monsters, and their numbers are not consistent. Only those monsters of that level can command a beast tide, and it is said that Platinum-ranked monsters can understand human nature and language. They can even speak using our language!"

"No way!" When Zhu Jian heard the words 'Platinum-ranked monsters', his entire body went numb.

The strongest of the four was only Silver, which was a few ranks lower than Platinum. If they charged over, what was the point of fighting?

Even Zeng Rong, the inspector, was only at Gold-level. Against a Platinum-level monster, he could only go there as food.

"The situation might not be as bad as it seems." At this moment, Xu Mo suddenly said something strange.
