Chapter 580 Arrogance And Conceit
Zhao Yan looked at Lu Yu and said with a smile, “Mr. Lu Yu, you should rest first. It’s not the first time we’ve had to fight a beast tide.”
“Although you’re strong and a captain, to be honest, you don’t have any experience in dealing with a beast tide, do you?”
“I really don’t have any,” Lu Yu said impatiently. “This is the first time I’ve seen a beast tide. But you must listen to my orders!”
Zhao Yan helplessly shook his head. “Pardon my rudeness, but you are not an expert in dealing with a beast tide. It’s best if you leave it to me.”
“You can go rest first and leave the rest to me. You can take a nap, and when you wake up, everything will be settled.”
At that moment, w.a.n.g Meng shouted angrily, “Sleep? I’m afraid I won’t wake up and stomp into a meat patty!”
Although w.a.n.g Meng’s voice was loud, Zhao Yan and Lin Shu ignored him and treated him like air.
However, Lu Yu’s att.i.tude was firm. “All of your past defensive methods and experiences are completely useless in this beast tide because you didn’t see the scale of the beast tide.”
“Don’t think that just because you set up some traps, mines, and barricades outside, you can solve the problem smoothly.”
Lu Yu’s words made Zhao Yan smile helplessly.
Lin Shu was the same, but she couldn’t help but sneer at Lu Yu’s naivety.
“The beast tide’s scale is the kind that appears large but is actually weak.” Zhao Yan slowly explained.
Lu Yu was completely speechless. “There are a total of 3,218 ferocious beasts in this beast tide. This number shouldn’t be considered small, right? ”
Zhao Yan sized Lu Yu up with suspicion and a sense of ridiculousness. How could Lu Yu count the number of beasts so accurately when he was just flying over them? He was definitely lying!
“Even if there are more than 3,000 fierce beasts, this number is actually pitifully small.”
“Just look for any gra.s.sland, and the migration of those herbivore beasts will be far more than this.”
Lu Yu stared at him and said, “Among these 3,000 beasts, more than half are larger-type beasts.”
“They can easily raze a forest to the ground and break a tree trunk five to six meters thick. You can even say that they smashed it into pieces!”
“Not just the trees; even hard rocks are the same to them. Under their iron hooves, these beasts popped them like bubbles.”
Lu Yu’s words changed Zhao Yan’s expression slightly, and his firm belief seemed to waver.
However, he quickly shook his head. “Impossible. A beast tide of that magnitude can’t possibly appear. I’ve personally experienced more than ten beast tides myself, and they were all in the black fog region in the north!”
“There, the beast tides are the largest and most destructive. According to my method, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to resist the tide. You haven’t experienced it before, so it’s better to forget it.”
Zhao Yan rejected Lu Yu’s suggestion and insisted on doing things his way.
Lu Yu looked at the people around him and shrugged helplessly. “Since I can’t persuade you no matter what, then forget it. We’ll find a place to sit and rest. Even if you can’t solve the problem, don’t think of asking us for help.”
“Don’t worry,” Lin Shu said unhappily. “We don’t need your help. Just rest well.”
With that, the two walked around Lu Yu and headed toward the fortress walls.
Lu Yu stood on the spot and smiled helplessly.
“Bro, is this guy crazy? Where does he get his confidence from?”
“I think this person is jealous of my captain’s rank,” Lu Yu sighed.
“From his tone, he seems to have a sense of superiority because of his battle experience. It’s only natural that he would feel uncomfortable when I’m ranked higher than him at such a young age without much military experience.”
Lu Yu’s words made Xu Yuan and the others laugh.
“This guy is quite narrow-minded. He would rather die than accept your suggestion.” Xu Yuan chimed in with a smile.
Han Xuefei spread her hands. “Let’s wait. They’ll regret it soon.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “Yes… they will regret it, as there is a beast king in this beast tide. By then, these 3,000 beasts won’t just pa.s.s by this stronghold. Instead, they will attack together, and the defense here will tear like paper.”
Lu Yu found a bench at the side and sat down.
Xu Yuan and the others followed and sat down.
They looked at the busy soldiers around them and shook their heads helplessly.
“I think there are about a thousand people here, but only half are involved in constructing the fortifications. The rest are still busy with their things.”
Xu Yuan looked left and right and came to this conclusion.
“They’re not even taking this beast tide seriously, even though it’s about to reach here!”
Xu Yuan stated this with certainty.
Lu Yu shrugged and replied, “That doesn’t have much to do with us. Let’s just wait and see how long they can last.”
……
At that moment, on the city wall, Zhao Yan was holding a pair of binoculars and looking into the distance.
The beast tide was getting close, and they could see what ferocious beasts were in the horde.
Zhao Yan placed the binoculars over his eyes. After looking for a long time, his hands started to tremble.
Lin Shu, who was standing beside him, frowned and pouted. “Those uninvited guests really think they’re something. How dare they point fingers at us as if they’re all-knowing?”
“In my opinion, our defense is already good enough. There are three layers outside and three layers inside. We can weather any beast tide.”
“Are you listening?”
Lin Shu looked at Zhao Yan beside her and found his hands trembling as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
Zhao Yan put down his binoculars, his hands hanging limply by his sides.
“The beast tide this time is looking a little dangerous…”
Lin Shu quickly picked up her binoculars and looked over.
She noticed the entire beast tide moving in perfect formation.
Moreover, many giant beasts in the air could quickly attack the interior of the stronghold!
The single-horned rhinos in the front row seemed to possess destructive power that could crush all obstacles in front of them!
What terrified the two was that this beast tide looked like a strictly disciplined army advancing straight toward them!
The beast tides of the past were like animal migrations, and they just happened to be on the path of their migration.
However, it was different this time. These ferocious beasts seemed to have locked onto them and were heading straight for them!
“d.a.m.n, this beast tide isn’t like the others!”
“I’m afraid our small traps aren’t enough to defend against so many large beasts!”
Zhao Yan’s voice trembled. When confronted with the looming beast tide, his self-a.s.surance began to subside.
