I Become Invincible By Signing In - Chapter 97
Chapter 97: The Beasts Have Surrounded Cang City
At this moment, on the tall city wall of Cang City, Fang Yuan and Tang Zhenyu stood together. Behind them stood a group of Battle Warrior-Rank martial artists. Almost all the higher-ups of Cang City had gathered here.
Fang Yuan looked into the distance and saw more and more beasts gathering outside the city. He could not help but frown.
His expression was also extremely solemn. He said to Tang Zhenyu beside him, “Brother Tang, you came early. Do you know what’s going on?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhenyu’s expression did not look too good either. He shook his head slightly. “When I came, the beasts had already begun to gather, but I don’t know why.”
At this moment, a Battle Warrior-Rank martial artist with a saber on his back in the crowd suddenly pointed into the distance. His voice trembled as he shouted in fear, “It’s… It’s a Golden-Armored Beast King!”
Almost everyone subconsciously looked in the direction where the Battle Warrior-Rank martial artist was pointing.
In the wilderness, amidst the countless beast shadows, they saw a golden figure that was dozens of meters tall and resembled a small mountain. It was slowly moving toward Cang City.
Everyone’s expressions instantly turned ugly.
The huge and golden beast shadow was actually a powerful Rank-8 Beastmaster. It was a terrifying existence that was at the peak of Rank-8 and could break through to Rank-9 at any time.
Even if Fang Yuan was already a Rank-8 grandmaster, and Tang Zhenyu had successfully broken through to the Grandmaster Realm and reached Rank-7, it would probably be difficult for the two of them to resist the beast king.
“What’s that? Could it be a Mad Blood Beast King?”
“Everyone, look! That looks like a Divine Power Beast King!”
…
As the terrifying and powerful beast kings were discovered among the beasts, everyone’s expressions turned from ugly to extremely pale in an instant. Their eyes were filled with despair and deep helplessness.
Almost everyone had the same thought in their hearts—Cang City was done for!
If there was only one beast king, Cang City might be able to barely resist it.
However, with so many terrifying beast kings gathered together, how could they fight? It would probably be easy for the beasts to massacre the entire city.
As time passed, more and more beasts gathered. The vast Cang City was almost completely surrounded by a sea of beasts.
Although the danger of Cang City being destroyed was right in front of him, Fang Yuan did not panic as he stood on the wall surrounding the giant city. His gaze swept across the group of Battle Warrior-Rank martial artists.
This group of old brothers who had fought with him for countless years would live and die with him. As he looked at them, a hint of pity flashed across his eyes. He struggled for a moment, but in the end, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
Looking around, he said in a solemn voice, “This battle is dangerous and we will definitely die. However, behind this city wall are the millions of people of Cang City. We can’t retreat!”
“Everyone, are you willing to fight to the death with me and protect the millions of lives in Cang City?”
That grand voice instantly entered everyone’s ears.
At this moment, the Battle Warrior-Rank martial artists seemed to have forgotten about the few Rank-8 beast kings outside the city. There was no longer any fear on their faces, only endless determination.
Then, they replied in unison, “We are willing to follow you and fight to the death to protect the millions of living beings in Cang City.”
Although there were only a few dozen people, their voices were filled with heroism. In an instant, their voices pierced through the clouds as if they wanted to drown out the beast roars outside the city.
Upon seeing this, Fang Yuan no longer hesitated and immediately ordered in a low voice.
“Activate the red alert and implement temporary martial law. Mobilize all the martial artists in the city. They will be under the command of the City Protection Army and participate in the city defense.”
“All non-martial artists and civilians shall enter the underground shelters.”
“Zhao Fan, listen up. I order you to lead 10,000 city guards to guard City Walls A1 to A5.”
“Wang Ning, listen up. I order you to lead 10,000 city guards to guard City Walls A6 to A10.”
…
As the orders were given, although Fang Yuan was already mentally prepared, his voice still trembled uncontrollably.
He knew that they would die, but he still personally pushed his old brothers into the endless abyss. Only Fang Yuan, who was involved in commanding his men, could understand the suffering and pain.
Everyone naturally knew Fang Yuan’s concerns. Someone in the crowd suddenly stood up and said, “Lord, don’t worry. If a beast enters the city, it will step on our corpses. As long as one of us doesn’t die, we will definitely not let any beasts enter the city!”
After saying that, that person gathered the city guards and headed straight for the city wall that he was defending.
Seeing this, everyone accepted their orders and left. Someone smiled naturally and said, “Lord Guardian, if we can come back alive from this battle, you’ll have to treat us. Take out the good wine you’ve kept for many years and let everyone drink to their heart’s content.”
At the same time, someone shouted boldly, “Lord, don’t worry. No one will take half a step back in this battle. We’re not afraid. We can only die!”
Upon seeing everyone leave, Fang Yuan felt as if a thousand knives were coming at him. His heart ached and he suddenly shouted at the crowd, “Everyone, take care!”
“After this battle, if Cang City isn’t destroyed and we don’t die, the Guardian’s Residence will hold a celebration banquet for three days. I’ll drink with you until we’re drunk.”
Fang Mingze saw that all the Battle Warrior-Rank martial artists had received their missions and left. Even after everyone had left, there were still no missions assigned to him. Anxiety appeared on his face as he spoke anxiously.
“Father, I’m already a Battle Warrior-Rank martial artist. As your son, I should live and die with Cang City at this critical moment. Why don’t you let me participate in the defense of the city wall?”
Fang Yuan looked at the slightly irritable Fang Mingze and could not help but reprimand him.
“Now that the life and death of the entire Cang City are tied to you, what’s the use of showing off your courage?!”
“What can a Rank-4 warrior like you do in a beast siege of this level?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Mingze was suddenly stunned. He looked at the angry Fang Yuan and asked in confusion, “Father, what do you mean?”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan said resentfully, “There are probably more than ten Rank-8 beast kings gathered outside the city. How can Cang City resist such a terrifying beast tide?”
“Only with Sir Wang’s help can we fight for a chance of survival for Cang City.”
“Furthermore, Sir Wang thinks highly of you. As long as you can invite Sir Wang over, Cang City will naturally be safe.”
Fang Yuan’s words were like thunder exploding in Fang Mingze’s mind, instantly waking him up.
Fang Mingze wanted to slap himself hard. He was also stunned by this terrifying scene and had subconsciously forgotten about Wang Yi’s existence.
Without further ado, Fang Mingze sped down the city wall and ran toward the center of the city.
Fang Yuan did not relax at all as he watched Fang Mingze’s figure gradually disappear into the night. Instead, he frowned and his eyes were filled with worry.
Upon seeing this, Tang Zhenyu couldn’t help but ask, “Are you afraid that Mingze won’t be able to invite Sir Wang?”
When Fang Yuan heard this, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “I’m afraid that even if Sir Wang comes, he won’t be able to resist!”
