Of course, she also hoped that Chen Fan could hold the line.

But in her foresight, a large number of burrowing fierce beasts would fly out from the underground. Even though some were cut down by sword qi as soon as they appeared.

There were simply too many burrowing fierce beasts emerging, and some had such tough hides and thick flesh that even being pierced by one or two sword qi still caused significant damage to the city.

Eventually, even if Anshan City could hold out, the city would be in ruins, with heavy casualties.

And this was only the second wave of the fierce beast attack.

If there were no surprises, there would be a third time, a fourth time...

By then, how many people in Anshan City would survive?

"Hmm, hmm!"

Meng Yu nodded heavily, her eyes flashing with a bright light.

On the city wall, everyone trembled with tension.

The beast tide, just as anticipated, had arrived.

"Captain, do we really not need to load the ammunition?" A guard looked at the firearm beside him and then at the captain, asking.

The other few people were also eager and impatient.

In the dark night, countless pairs of blood-red eyes appeared, approaching with rolling clouds of dust.

Some of the foremost ones were already within firearms range.

At this time, if they didn't start firing to eliminate some, it would be difficult once they got closer.

The captain shook his head and said, "The higher-ups said that this time, there are too many fierce beasts. Even if firing the cannons could eliminate some, it wouldn't make much of a difference against a beast tide of over a million, and our ammunition is also running low."

Upon hearing this, everyone remained silent.

Yes, the last beast tide had no more than two hundred thousand beasts, and the cannons had only eliminated about a quarter. After all, those fierce beasts were not stupid and could run, and they ran fast.

If Chairman Li had not intervened in the end, Anshan City would have already fallen.

This time, the number of fierce beasts was several times that of last time. Even if the cannons could still explode a fifth of them, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

They looked towards the highest point of the city wall.

A silhouette stood there, clothing rustling in the wind.

Ten kilometers.

Eight kilometers.

Five kilometers.

The beast tide was getting closer.

Even ordinary people could see those countless blood-red eyes from the city wall without a telescope.

Hua Jun and others stood quietly behind Chen Fan, waiting.

They knew that those fierce beasts had not yet entered the range of the Chairman's attack.

The members of the War Soul Squad looked at each other, their faces filled with anxiety.

Seeing the foremost beasts less than ten miles from the city wall, yet Chairman Li hadn't moved.

Qin Jin's face also showed panic.

He knew that in the last beast tide, Chairman Li had also stood on the city wall and repelled them with sword qi.

But this time was different from the last time, right? This time, the number of fierce beasts exceeded a million, just letting these fierce beasts easily reach the city wall, wasn't it too risky?

Somewhere on the city wall, Wang Lingling also looked at Chen Fan's back.

She knew it was too late to leave now.

But a voice in her mind told her that Anshan City might really be able to hold out.

Just like when they encountered the Qin Family people, in her view, the Qin Family people were invincible, but as it turned out, Li Ping killed them as easily as killing chickens.

In her eyes, this current beast tide of a million seemed unstoppable, but could it be as easy to deal with as before?

If so, she could continue to stay here without worrying about being found by the Qin Family people.

Four kilometers.

Three kilometers.

Two kilometers.

The beast tide was very fast. Even though the ones in front were mostly mid to low-level fierce beasts, their speed was over ten to twenty meters per second, far faster than ordinary people.

When they were less than a thousand meters from the city wall, several figures came speedily from the rear. The mid to low-level fierce beasts at the front didn't even know what hit them—they were knocked flying, and if they weren't dead, they were severely injured.

"It's those Elite-level fierce beasts!"

Someone exclaimed.

More than ten thousand Elite-level fierce beasts charged out.

They had originally been hidden in the rear, intentionally slowing down to avoid being targeted by the firearms, but once the distance closed to two thousand meters, they burst forth.

With their speed, a mere two thousand meters was only a matter of seconds; as long as they reached the city wall, everything would be settled.

In the distance, a massive snake-like beast with three heads watched this scene.

Its body was over fifty meters long, clearly a Beast King-level fierce beast, and a high-level one at that.

Behind it, two other enormous fierce beasts stood over thirty meters tall.

One was a giant snake covered in blue scales, with its lower body pressed against the ground, which was already covered in thick ice.

The other had black and red stripes on its body, with drops of saliva falling from its mouth, corroding the ground into deep, bottomless holes.

Behind these three giant snakes was a multitude of Commander-level giant beasts, no fewer than fifty or sixty.

At this moment, they were exceptionally obedient, making no noise at all.

The middle head of the central giant snake hissed.

"Strange, why are the humans in that city not putting up any resistance?"

It wasn't speaking human language. Besides the other two heads and the two giant snakes beside them, not even the Commander-level fierce beasts behind knew what it was saying.

"I noticed that as well," hissed the right head. "These humans use a weapon called firearms. Once fired, it makes a loud noise. I originally expected them to use it, so I prepared a lot of cannon fodder, but it turns out I was overthinking?"

"King, could it be that they've run out of ammunition?"

The blue ice giant snake flicked its tongue. "The weapons humans use require ammunition. Without ammunition, they're just scrap metal."

"Hmm, that's possible."

The middle head nodded slightly.

This city was only a small human city.

The defending force was limited, and with the surrounding human cities wiped out, even if people in this city wanted to replenish ammunition from elsewhere, they couldn't.

Moreover, they had just experienced a fierce battle. Although they won, their ammunition must be nearly exhausted.

As for the losses from last time, it didn't care.

It was just ten or twenty thousand cannon fodder; their deaths were no big deal.

"So what if they have ammunition, heh."

Another giant snake with black and red stripes showed disdain in its eyes. "Even if their ammunition were endless, it wouldn't stop us. These humans shouldn't live in this world anymore."

Upon hearing this, the other two giant snakes nodded.

Indeed, so what if they had ample ammunition?

This small piece of land could be broken in an instant.

Once this place was eradicated, there would be no more human cities here. Next, they would attack the larger cities.

After capturing those big cities, humans would only have three super large cities left.

The three giant snakes' eyes gleamed with excitement.

A decade ago, that battle aimed to drive humans off this land completely, and at that time, all of Yan Country's land would belong to them.

But they failed. In the final moments, three powerful humans appeared and drove their Emperor away. They, the Beast Kings, had to abandon vast territories and go into hiding.

Now, they were making a comeback. This time, humans would have no chance to fight back, especially since they now had a Beast Emperor.

On the battlefield.

The over ten thousand Elite-level fierce beasts at the forefront were less than a kilometer from the city wall!

The guards were sweating profusely, their eyes fixed on Chen Fan's back.

Chairman Li still hadn't made a move?

The fierce beasts were about to reach the city wall!

At this moment, they saw the once-empty sky fill with thousands upon thousands of sword qi, as if by magic.

The sword qi, each two to three meters in size, hovered in the air, trembling slightly.
