The beasts galloped, the herd roared, as if the earth itself was shaking.
Within the Qinling, there were thoughtless wild beasts, as well as spirit beasts with so intelligence. At this mont, standing on the city walls, the Mu Family Army couldn’t distinguish between which were wild beasts and which were spirit beasts.
All they saw were the frenzied Beast Clan attacking. Those ferocious faces, swift movents, and enormous strength of the Beast Clan were all crazed in their eyes, wanting to break through the walls of Yi City and enter the territory of Qin Country for brutal slaughter.
"Defend——!"
From the city walls, orders continuously rang out.
The already exhausted and famished Mu Family Army barely stood up with strong willpower, numbly holding the almost destroyed weapons in their hands, starting to fight.
The arrows had lost their heads, the bowstrings had snapped, the steel blades had gaps. The cauldrons boiling oil had long run dry, and all the boulders had been thrown down.
Out of ammunition and food, these four characters sumd up the predicant of the Mu Family Army at this mont.
And outside the already broken city walls, there was still an innurable Beast Clan army continuously launching assaults.
"Commander, let’s rush down and fight these beasts to the death!" Next to Mu Xiong, a deputy’s eyes were already filled with tears, seeing his soldiers turn into a mass of bloody flesh under the beast claws, could no longer bear it and shouted at Mu Xiong.
Fight? How to fight?
Mu Xiong tightly pressed his lips, face taut.
What good is being a high rank in the Blue Realm? He still couldn’t withstand the countless Beast Clan. Moreover, the spirit beast ranks amongst the Beast Clan were equivalent to humans. Who could know how many Beast Clan experts were hidden in this endless beast tide?
Once he opened the city gates and led everyone out, there would be only one outco, the total annihilation of the Mu Family Army, and Qin Country’s peril.
Now, the only thing that could be done was to hold the city walls tightly and resist the Beast Clan’s attack. It’s imperative to send soone to urge the supply of military provisions to replenish strength, in hopes of surviving this catastrophe. Otherwise, these people here faced certain death!
"ssenger!" Mu Xiong suddenly called out.
Imdiately, a ssenger ca, kneeling on one knee before him.
Mu Xiong’s eyes were fixed on the battlefield beneath the city wall continuously battered by the Beast Clan which didn’t move him at all.
He said in a deep voice, "Send ssengers continually, urge the supplies from the rear. If anyone blocks your way, execute them without rcy!" Having said that, he took out his command arrow and tossed it to the ssenger.
The ssenger imdiately withdrew, and soon after, a team of ssengers mounted swift horses and hurried towards the nearby Han City.
Han City, the wealthiest city closest to Yi City, was where the Military Governor sent by the court was. Mu Xiong watched the ssengers leave, unwilling to believe that the Governor of Han City didn’t understand the interdependence of lips and teeth.
If Yi City fell, how could Han City survive alone?
Placing all hope on the ssengers, Mu Xiong returned to the command room with the deputy to discuss strategies to buy ti.
However, even a clever housewife can’t cook without rice.
Out of ammunition and food, both physically and ntally exhausted, what thod did the Mu Family Army have to buy ti under the Beast Clan’s claws, waiting for the military provisions to arrive?
"Two days, we need to hold out for at least two days." This was the minimum round trip ti between Yi City and Han City. If the ssengers succeeded on this journey, it would take at least two days to bring back the provisions to Yi City. Mu Xiong stated the ti required.
Yet, the generals remained silent.
Two days? Let alone two days, they weren’t sure if they could even hold out for two hours.
A deputy, tearfully, declared, "Commander, our soldiers have fought for several days, yet they haven’t had a full al in three days. Their weapons can no longer be used; if this continues, they can only exchange their lives for lives to buy ti."
