Chapter 1538: Beast Tide (8)
Shen Yanxiao’s words shocked everyone.
The soldiers of the four-nation alliance army looked at Shen Yanxiao in disbelief. From the moment they entered the city, they had thought that Shen Yanxiao would certainly let her former enemies be the vanguard.
However…
She did not do that!
Before they attacked the Forsaken Land, they had heard many rumors about Shen Yanxiao. Everyone said that Shen Yanxiao was a shameless human. And in order to gain benefits, she did not hesitate to collude with demons. She was disloyal, unfilial, heartless, killed her uncles, and defected from her motherland.
This was what they believed as well. However, after they had interacted with Shen Yanxiao, they realized how ridiculous those rumors were.
Colluding with demons could make demons willing to fight a b.l.o.o.d.y battle for her? Would they be willing to take in her enemies?
Without any etiquette…
No matter how they looked at Shen Yanxiao, she was a young lady with wisdom and elegance.
It could be said that the feeling Shen Yanxiao gave them was entirely different from the rumors.
“All the wounded members of the four-nation alliance army, report to the central plaza. There will be someone there to treat your injuries.” After Shen Yanxiao said that, she left. She still had to discuss with others on how to deal with the incoming beast tide.
All the important members of Sun Never Sets were waiting for Shen Yanxiao’s arrival in the City Lord’s Mansion.
“The beast tide appeared too suddenly. There was still some time before the G.o.d Realm came for their investigation.” Qi Xia frowned. There was a trace of blood on his fair face. It was a wound caused by his opponent’s arrows during the battle.
“Mengmeng, what did you hear?” Shen Yanxiao asked Nangong Mengmeng.
Nangong Mengmeng said, “The Sage only mentioned that the beast tide would arrive in a month’s time, so I don’t know why it was brought forward.”
“How many cannons do we have left?” Shen Yanxiao rubbed her forehead. They had just experienced a huge war and they did not have the time to recover. How were they supposed to face the beast tide?
“There are still more than seventy usable cannons, but all the artillery sh.e.l.ls have been used up.” Yang Xi’s expression was ugly. They had specially prepared these artillery sh.e.l.ls to deal with the beast tide, but they did not expect the four-nation alliance army to use them up.
“How much fire oil is left in the workshop?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
“There’s still a lot left, but the beast tide is about to arrive. We don’t have the time to make new sh.e.l.ls,” Yang Xi said.
“Without any artillery sh.e.l.ls, use ordinary artillery sh.e.l.ls to gather all the oil.” Shen Yanxiao could only concentrate all her resources to fight against the impending disaster.
Millions of demon beasts were existences even more terrifying than a three-million-man army.
If their firepower had not been depleted and the previous city had not been destroyed, Shen Yanxiao was confident that she could repel the beast tide. However, two wars were occurring one after another, and even if she was the G.o.d, she could not reverse the situation.
A clever housewife cannot cook without rice. Shen Yanxiao had finally experienced it.
“The wounded should not partic.i.p.ate in the battle for the time being. They would only be sending themselves to their deaths if they were to go up. Yazi and Taotie will be the vanguard. Right now, only the two of them can withstand the beast tide’s attacks. All the mythical beasts are partic.i.p.ating in the battle… Vermilion Bird… how are Vermilion Bird’s injuries?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Ye Qing with worry in her eyes.
Ye Qing said, “Vermilion Bird’s injuries have healed by quite a bit. Maybe it’s because of the fruit you mentioned earlier. He should be fine after a short rest.”
