In mid-December, the number of wild beasts outside Xiacheng exceeded 3 million. Every day, the roars of wild beasts outside the city could be heard, and everyone was waiting for the moment when the wild beasts would attack the city.
Hua Zichen, Hua Zihuan and others were worried about whether the monsters would come, when they would come, and how many would come.
In the past, when they were in Huajiabao, they were still interested in attacking the wild beasts outside the fort to slow down the total attack time of the wild beasts. But now there are wild beasts everywhere outside Xiacheng. Even if the Qinglong Army attacks and kills tens of thousands of wild beasts in one trip, it will not have much impact on the wild beast group. Instead, it will increase their own casualties. So everyone can only continue to wait, waiting for the moment when the wild beasts launch a full-scale attack.
Hua Zichen stood on the city wall and suddenly saw a figure approaching Xiacheng. All the wild beasts and wild beasts did not dare to move wherever the figure passed. He saw it and hurriedly asked all the soldiers on the city wall to hide, and he quickly summoned [Eight Treasures Night Name Armor] to fly towards the monster.
This is a monster that looks like a raccoon cat. It made a sharp cry when it approached the wall of Xiacheng. Many soldiers on the wall felt dizzy and Hua Zichen almost fell from the sky.
The raccoon cat quickly approached Hua Zichen, and one of its claws quickly grew larger and grabbed Hua Zichen. Hua Zichen stabbed the claw with his spear. A strong wave of will came, and the phantom of the cat's claw showed that Hua Zichen was flying into Xiacheng like a kite with a broken string. Blood flowed out of his mouth in the air.
The raccoon cat monster continued to catch up. He saw that he failed to kill Hua Zichen with one blow. He wanted to quickly solve the opponent. The gap between the sixth level of the innate realm and the foundation-building realm was still too big, even with spiritual armor.
A sharp horse neigh came, and the raccoon cat monster, which was about to catch up with Hua Zichen, stopped. He saw that [Tianlongju] flew in the air and quickly caught Hua Zichen. At this time, Hua Mo and Xue Pan finally came out.
A sharp arrow shot at the raccoon monster. The raccoon monster stopped and raised its front paw. The arrow exploded in front of it, leaving a shallow scar on its front paw. Seeing this, the raccoon monster gave up Hua Zichen and began to fly towards Xue Pan.
"Uncle Wu, you heal your wounds first, leave this to the two of us!" Hua Mo saw Hua Zichen riding a horse and attacking again, and said.
The raccoon suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. A strong force of [Will of Earth] locked him, making him move and his reaction become slow. Xue Pan shot another arrow and hit the raccoon monster in the belly. The raccoon monster screamed in pain and ignored the [Will of Earth]'s imprisonment force and fell on the wall, and went straight to Hua Mo.
Xue Pan retreated quickly, Hua Mo took out the [Dragon Gallbladder Spear] and fought with the raccoon monster. Every time at a critical moment, his fifth-level [Will of Earth] suppressed the raccoon monster's third-level [Will of Wind] to move slowly, but the huge gap in strength made Hua Mo retreat quickly. Several captains of the Azure Dragon Legion came up at this time. Within a few minutes, many people were injured, and the wild beasts outside Xiacheng began to move.
Hua Zichen had just taken a [Rejuvenation Pill] and his injuries had not recovered yet. He stood up again to support. All the innate realms had basically no effect on the foundation-building realm monsters. If he did not take action, when all the wild beasts and wild beasts began to attack the city, Xiacheng would suffer a great loss.
Hua Mo felt the pressure relieved, and saw that his fifth uncle came to support again. Although he had the fifth level of [Will of Earth] to limit the actions of the raccoon monster, his defense was too poor. Once he was injured, he would be seriously injured or even die. With Hua Zichen riding the [Sky Dragon Horse] in front, his pressure suddenly decreased.
Xue Pan has been using the [Eagle Shooting Divine Bow] to sneak attack the weakness of the civet cat monster. Hua Mo tried his best to cooperate. Hua Mo used 90% of his strength to deal with this monster. The monster was besieged by many people and was getting more and more injured. Seeing that he could not take down Hua Mo and others, he turned around and fled outside Xia City.
Hua Zichen and others were about to go out of the city to chase, but were stopped by Hua Ah~ Mo. Although the monster was injured, if it was forced too hard and exploded, most of the people in the entire Xia City might die with it.
"This is just a low-level monster. We have almost used up all our strength. The wild beasts outside the city have obviously not reached their peak. There may be more monsters coming in the future. We must ask Brother Kai for help. If two monsters come at once, we may not be able to defend." Hua Mo looked at Hua Zichen and others and whispered.
Seeing that many soldiers around were injured and killed, the Hua family could foresee the tragic defense of the city this year. It was only mid-December, and there was still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year. The biggest pressure was still after the New Year!
Hua Mo's performance made him recognized by all the people and slaves in Xiacheng. Since the news of his marriage with the two princesses of Yan State spread, his reputation was at its highest. Now he has the strength to fight against monsters, and he is constantly reported by the people. Slowly, he has become the second person in the Hua family after Hua Kai.
Hua Kai also frowned when he heard Hua Mo's report on the situation in Xiacheng. The pressure of the wild beasts in Xiacheng has exceeded his imagination. At this time, there are already monsters, and there will be more and more monsters in the future.
"Tang Lei, you take the [Undead Legion] to Xiacheng, and leave a captain to continue to preside over the training of the [Undead Legion] reserve members.
Yu Jun, you also come to Xiacheng. Xiacheng may need your [Crossbow Cart] to defend it." Hua Kai dispatched Tang Lei and Yu Jun to Xiacheng. Now even if there are more than three monsters, they can defend it.
Hua family masters continued to go to Xiacheng for support. On December 18, Hua Zichen told Hua Kai that a monster stayed ten miles away from Xiacheng. Monsters and humans have always been natural enemies. If they found that humans had built a new city, they would instinctively destroy it.
Three days later, another monster came outside Xiacheng. Seeing that more and more wild beasts and wild beasts gathered outside Xiacheng, those monsters did not seem to be in a hurry at all. They were quietly waiting ten miles away from Xiacheng. Xiacheng had no choice but to send people to keep an eye on them.
On December 27, the number of monsters reached four. Hua Kai sent Ma Changwang with [Journey to the West] to support. He could not leave Huacheng in winter unless it was absolutely necessary. If a Jindan realm came to visit Huacheng, Huacheng would be in danger without him.
But on the last day before the New Year, Hua Kai could no longer sit still in Huacheng. Another monster came to the outside of Xiacheng. This was the fifth monster. There were already a large number of wild beasts outside Xiacheng, with a total number of more than five million. If he did not support them, the whole Xiacheng would be in danger.
These were monsters living deep in the Dongling Mountains. Xiacheng was about to face what might be the most severe test in its life. Hua Kai was most worried about the attack of intermediate monsters on Xiacheng.
Riding on [Di Lu Ma], with Xiao Qiang and Wukong to Xiacheng, Hua Kai could feel five powerful auras ten miles west of Xiacheng. He flew to Xiacheng from the air, but the other side did not react.
When the Xiacheng defenders saw Hua Kai coming, many people shouted for victory. Hua Kai was their spiritual symbol. As long as Hua Kai came, they would have a bottom line in their hearts.
Entering the city defense command center, Hua Kai was sitting in front of Hua Mo, Ma Changwang, Tang Lei, Yu Jun, Hua Zichen, Xue Pan and other core members of the Hua family. Xiao Qiang followed behind Hua Kai quietly. Wukong was playing alone in the crowd. When he saw Hua Kai looking at him with dissatisfaction, he obediently walked to Hua Kai's side.
"Xiacheng's defense is beyond all of our imaginations. It is much more stressful than the winter defense of Linzi City and Jicheng City. Just leave a small part on the city wall. Ordinary wild beasts do not have the strength to climb the city wall. The first battle must be between us and the monsters. We must try our best to keep all the monsters outside the city wall and not let them enter Xiacheng and cause serious damage to Xiacheng.
All the personnel in Xiacheng are dispersed, and everyone is prepared to fight in the city. Yu Jun, you are the main force to kill the enemy this time. Hua Mo, you should use your [Power of Will] to restrict the monsters and let Yu Jun kill them. There are very few low-level monsters with more than three levels of [Power of Will].
Ma Changwang, Tang Lei, you two must stop the two monsters from getting close to the city wall. Fifth Uncle, Xue Pan, you two must also entangle one." Hua Kai made arrangements for everyone.
Four days later, another demon beast arrived, and Hua Kai felt that it was actually a mid-level demon beast. This made all the core members of the Hua family feel a lot more pressure. The key point was that this mid-level demon beast only stayed 20 miles west of Xiacheng, and it was still waiting.
Hua Kai spent the New Year in the tense atmosphere of Xiacheng. On the night of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Hua Kai entered the [Family Space] and finally got good news, which slightly reduced the pressure on the core members of the Hua family in the past few days.
"Master, today the Ordos tribe was attacked by the foundation-building realm. I and the leader of the Tiefa tribe worked together to seriously injure the other party. Many innate realms who launched the attack were killed. The situation of the Xiongnu Kingdom is set!" Xue Chen said to Hua Kai in the evening.
"Have you entered the half-step foundation-building? The victory of the Ordos tribe this time, the major tribes of the Xiongnu Kingdom only have one way to go, surrender, how are the casualties of our strongholds?" Hua Kai asked.
"Only me and seven Xiantian Realm people participated in the battle, and no one was killed.
Patriarch, the family is now in danger. I should be able to help the family if I come back at this time." Xue Chen said.
Hua Kai bowed his head and said nothing. Xue Chen is a key point of the Hua family in the grassland. Most of the Hua family's goods are sent to the Ordos tribe through him and then sold to the grassland countries. If he comes back, the influence of the Hua family in the grassland will suddenly weaken.
"You don't have to worry about family matters. The Wuzhumuqin tribe is now in a critical period of transformation. The development of the grassland is related to our future layout in the East Land Shenzhou. The key for you now is to consolidate the status and strength of the Ordos tribe and the Great Yuezhi Kingdom, and send more spiritual medicines and strange stones to the family." Hua Kai thought about it and said.
"Patriarch, let Xue Chen go home! He is half a step away from the foundation building. It is not a problem to entangle a low-level monster. We have enough goods stored in the Wuzhumuqin tribe. It is enough for the entire Great Yuezhi Kingdom to use in half a year. It is enough for me to be here." Er Zhuang also spoke at this time.
Hua Kai finally agreed to let Xue Chen go home. The Hua family put all their strength on Xiacheng this time. If they lose this time, the Hua family will suffer heavy losses. But if they survive this winter, the Hua family will enter a new stage of development.
On January 9, Xue Chen returned to Xiacheng. Many people in the Hua family were very happy to see Xue Chen. As the most talented of the ten young men in the Hua family, he was cultivated as a pillar of the Hua family since he was a child. On January 10, it snowed heavily in the morning. When the snow stopped in the afternoon, someone rang the alarm on the city wall. Hua Kai and the core combat force of the Hua family hurried out of the combat command room. They saw a tiger-shaped monster more than ten meters tall running towards Xiacheng in the distance, and another intermediate monster.
This intermediate monster flew to the sky 5 miles away from Xiacheng, roared in the direction of Xiacheng, and a huge tiger head phantom enveloped the entire Xiacheng. It actually used its own will image from the beginning.
Hua Kai could feel the power of this tiger-headed monster. Its comprehension of [Will of Fire] should have reached the 5th level, which was already a strong one in the Jindan realm.
