They were all ordinary mander-level Fierce Beasts, generally standing less than 15 meters tall.
Obviously, despite all receiving orders from the Beast King, there were significant differences in strength among the mander-level Fierce Beasts.
Now, they all noticed that the area ahead was dangerous. Rushing forward to kill the humans up front might require a substantial sacrifice.
Therefore, the top-tier mander-level Fierce Beasts let the ordinary ones charge first, the High-level mander-level Fierce Beasts were in the middle, and they themselves were in the back.
Once the first two groups exhausted the physical strength of the humans on the city walls, they would advance to conquer the city.
This was known among the Fierce Beasts, even if the Beast King in the rear knew, it wouldn’t ment.
Fortunately, the ordinary mander-level Fierce Beasts weren’t foolish; if they recklessly charged in pletely, they could easily die. Instead, they used their claws to test the area, hoping to break through with brute force.
Clearly, they underestimated the damage of the Sword Qi.
The moment their claws entered, they were pierced by thousands of Sword Qi, turning into a pool of blood, then even the blood was evaporated by the Sword Qi, disappearing pletely.
"Roar!"
Over twenty mander-level Fierce Beasts wailed painfully, some even rolling on the ground in agony, crushing many Mid to High-level Fierce Beasts.
"The power of this Sword Qi is unexpectedly strong."
From afar, the ice-blue giant serpent took in the scene.
However, there was good news.
The Sword Qi had weakened substantially.
Its eyes showed a trace of contempt.
Just this?
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Several mander-level Fierce Beasts, standing twenty meters tall, roared furiously, seemingly urging the ordinary ones to get up quickly.
A dozen High-level manders were also urging them.
What a joke.
They saw earlier if it were them going up, the results wouldn’t have been much better.
Thus, going ahead wasn’t an option for the ones at the front, nor for the twenty or so at the rear.
Over twenty ordinary mander-level Fierce Beasts hesitated.
Some pretended not to hear, desperately rolling on the ground.
A twenty-meter-tall ape-like giant beast, entirely gold-colored, walked up to an ordinary mander-level Fierce Beast that was rolling on the ground.
It kicked it.
The latter paused, then felt its entire body lifted and violently thrown.
"!!!"
This scene stunned everyone, human and beast alike.
The thrown beast fell directly into the Sword Qi Field.
Thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi pierced its body from all directions, melting it in an instant.
The golden giant ape squinted, walking to two ordinary mander-level Fierce Beasts, grabbing one in each hand, and throwing them into the Sword Qi Field.
Like before, the two mander-level Fierce Beasts melted in the Sword Qi, but observant individuals noticed that the melting took slightly longer for these two.
The golden giant ape showed a trace of pride.
It walked towards two more ordinary mander-level Fierce Beasts.
Those two beasts, terrified, fell to their knees, wailing continuously.
Yet, it was useless.
The golden giant ape grabbed them again, throwing them into the Sword Qi Field.
Other top-tier mander-level Fierce Beasts also reacted, grabbing nearby ordinary ones and throwing them in.
Faced with absolute power, ordinary mander-level Fierce Beasts had no strength to resist. Running was out of the question.
Firstly, their speed was no match, and secondly, three Beast Kings watched from behind.
Even if they escaped today, they couldn’t evade pursuit later.
Thus, they could only beg for mercy before being thrown in as material to consume the Sword Qi.
A dozen High-level mander Beasts watched with their hearts in their throats.
Logically speaking, they should be delighted.
The more they die, the lesser the danger ahead.
But they worried if all these creatures died, and the Sword Qi still wasn’t destroyed, would it then be their turn to face it?
At that time, they’d have no choice: either walk in themselves or be thrown in, both leading to death.
"These beasts are too ruthless!"
People on the city walls shivered.
"Aren’t those mander-level Fierce Beasts their panions? Yet, they are being thrown into the Sword Qi Field by the stronger mander-level ones?"
"Yes, if I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it. Those are mander-level Fierce Beasts being used as cannon fodder!"
"What difference does it make if Mid and High-level Fierce Beasts are used the same way? If these ordinary mander-level ones run out, then it’ll be the High-level manders’ turn."
"Oh no, look quickly!"
Someone pointed below.
A mander-level Fierce Beast was thrown into the Sword Qi Field but did not immediately melt; it continued to charge forward for 200-300 meters before losing its legs and collapsing, then its entire body was consumed by Sword Qi.
Previously, these mander-level Fierce Beasts melted upon landing in the Sword Qi.
Not just the manders, Mid and High-level Fierce Beasts managed to get within 1000 meters, having been blocked at 2000 meters before!
"This!"
All at once, everyone understood.
The Sword Qi in the field had halved after being consumed by the mander-level Fierce Beasts.
The remaining Sword Qi was less powerful and rapidly depleting.
"How could this happen!"
Many faces went pale.
Not long ago, they believed this battle was won, thinking the millions of Fierce Beasts would be buried in front of Anshan City.
But reality slapped them harshly.
Fierce Beasts were no pushovers!
Realizing the Sword Qi Field’s threat, they used mander-level Fierce Beasts to consume the Sword Qi.
This method was truly effective.
"Is it possible that we won’t hold?" Wang Lingling showed regret.
She looked at Chen Fan’s back, thinking, Chairman Li, you did your best. It’s the beasts that are too cunning to blame.
"Captain."
The red-haired woman glanced at Qin Jin.
It seemed Anshan City couldn’t be defended; it was time for them to prepare to retreat.
However, King-level Fierce Beasts must be around. When teleporting, one must be cautious, lest they teleported right into their proximity, which would be disastrous.
Qin Jin clenched his fists tightly.
He didn’t know what to say.
Was his initial thought wrong?
Considering it, it made sense.
Such a massive Beast Tide was a struggle even for large cities. Relying solely on Chairman Li was indeed pushing too hard.
Elder Wang’s eyes reflected worry.
Ten consecutive Ten Thousand Swords Attack uses.
Chen Fan should be reaching his limit now.
Outside the city, twenty more mander-level Fierce Beasts lurked.
Further away lay several strong presences.
If he deployed the Flying Centipedes underground, there could be a chance, but the centipedes would likely suffer heavy losses, possibly annihilation.
Unlike the people inside, mander-level Fierce Beasts outside were exhilarated.
Especially the High-level manders, who breathed a long sigh of relief.
Throwing the remaining ones into the Sword Qi Field might not destroy it pletely, but would significantly lower its threat.
Next, their eyes locked onto Chen Fan on the city wall.
This damned human almost killed them, once the Sword Qi Field breaks, they’ll tear him apart!
"Achieving this, not bad."
Chen Fan nodded. The next moment.
Ten thousand,
Twenty thousand,
Thirty thousand,
...
A hundred thousand Sword Qi floated in the air!
"What!"
Elder Wang exclaimed, almost falling to the ground.
