When Xu Qingyun and Yuan Tianyi arrived at the city lord's mansion, they were told that the city lord was not there and had gone to the military camp.
Xu Qingyun and the others could only change direction and head towards the military camp.
The military camp was not far from the city lord's palace, and Xu Qingyun and the others arrived quickly.
Arriving at the military camp, Xu Qingyun could feel a chilling air before entering.
"The military camp is a stronghold, leave quickly!"
Xu Qingyun and Yuan Tianyi were blocked outside and were not allowed to enter.
Two city guards in armor stood at the door, blocking Xu Qingyun and refusing to let him through.
"I'm here to see the city lord. Is the city lord in the military camp?" Xu Qingyun looked at the city guards and asked.
But the other party still said the same thing: "This is a powerful military camp, leave quickly!"
Xu Qingyun also knew that based on what he said, these people would definitely not let him in to find Meng Xinghe.
He took out a token from the Qiankun bag. This token was given to him by the city lord Meng Xinghe. With this token, Xu Qingyun could freely enter and exit the city lord's mansion.
Xu Qingyun showed the token to the two city guards. After seeing it, a look of surprise flashed across their faces.
This turned out to be an order from the city lord's palace, and the two city guards obviously knew this token.
"I want to see the city lord." Xu Qingyun said holding the token.
But what is surprising is that the two city guards still shook their heads and refused to let Xu Qingyun enter the military camp: "What you have in your hand is the city lord's palace order. You can enter and exit the city lord's palace freely, but this is a military camp. This token in your hand,
Still can’t enter the military camp.”
"However, I can go in and make an announcement."
Xu Qingyun originally planned to break in by force, but gave up the idea after hearing the last words of the city guard.
"Sorry." Xu Qingyun said politely.
Of the two city guards standing at the door, one of them entered the barracks to make an announcement, while the other was still standing at the door, guarding the spot.
Soon, the city guard left and returned.
"City Lord, please come in and follow me!" The city guard looked at Xu Qingyun and said, his tone obviously much more respectful.
Xu Qingyun nodded lightly, and together with Yuan Tianyi, followed the city guard into the military camp.
Yuan Tianyi looked at the military camp curiously, his beautiful eyes moving constantly, and everything he looked at seemed novel.
This military camp was much larger than Xu Qingyun imagined, covering an extremely large area.
After walking for a while, they came to a huge martial arts arena.
Xu Qingyun was slightly calmed by the battle in front of him.
On the martial arts field, there are countless people standing densely at this moment. They are arranged in order, each one wearing armor, fully armed, and equipped with weapons.
The number of people is estimated to be several thousand. Looking down from a high altitude, they are densely packed like countless ants.
These must all be city guards. Thousands of city guards gathered together.
At the front, Xu Qingyun saw the city lord Meng Xinghe.
This is ordering troops. Is there going to be a war?!
Such a thought came to Xu Qingyun's mind.
"Leng Wenshan, take 600 city guards to guard the west gate!"
"Jian Taihe, take 800 city guards to guard the east gate. The attacks there were the most ferocious in the past years!"
"Lu Xing, Yu Tiao, you two each lead five hundred city guards to guard the south city gate and the north city gate respectively!"
"The rest are on standby in the military camp, listening to my orders and ready to support at any time!"
"besides……"
Meng Xinghe stood in front of thousands of city guards, full of momentum and with a majestic voice, issuing military orders in an orderly manner.
After receiving the order, several generals led a group of city guards and rushed to the various city gates of Snow Wind City. The footsteps were loud and the atmosphere of killing was strong.
At this time, the nine bells in Fengxue City had stopped, and were replaced by the rumbling footsteps of the city guards.
Soon thousands of city guards left, leaving only a few hundred city guards on standby in the military camp.
Xu Qingyun had also arrived in front of the city lord Meng Xinghe at this time.
Before Xu Qingyun finished speaking, Meng Xinghe spoke first. He bowed his hands to Xu Qingyun and said sincerely: "Doctor Xu, I am going to find you!"
"When the beast tide comes, there may be many injured city guards. I beg Doctor Xu to take action to treat those injured city guards."
Xu Qingyun frowned slightly, looked at Meng Xinghe and said, "City Lord, first tell me what happened?"
Meng Xinghe was stunned at first, then suddenly realized.
He almost forgot that Xu Qingyun was from outside the country. It was his first time in Fengxue City, and he had only been here for a few days.
Xu Qingyun obviously didn't know about the beast tide.
Meng Xinghe apologized and then explained.
It turns out that Fengxue City experiences a beast tide almost every year. What is a beast tide? To put it simply, there will be countless monsters in the snowfield besieging Fengxue City. They seem to be going crazy. Thousands of monsters besiege the city.
The beast tide usually lasts for three days. At this time, the city guards in Snow Wind City will be ready for battle.
Although there is a city defense formation in Snow Wind City, it cannot hold up in the face of so many monster attacks and will be destroyed quickly.
Once the city defense formation is broken, the city guards can only rely on the city guards to defend Snow Wind City.
It will be a terrible battle, not a war!
Rivers of blood will flow, and countless people will be killed and injured.
Every year when the beast tide comes, it will be a cruel war.
In the Snow Wind City, the nine bells are a warning that the beast tide is coming.
Residents living in Snowstorm City will know that a beast tide is coming when they hear these nine bells. They experience this kind of thing almost every year.
After listening to Meng Xinghe's explanation, Xu Qingyun and Yuan Tianyi finally understood what happened.
However, Xu Qingyun still has questions.
"Why did those monsters in the snow field suddenly unite and attack Snow Wind City together?" Xu Qingyun looked at Meng Xinghe and asked.
When Meng Xinghe heard this, he shook his head: "I don't know the reason, but a beast tide occurs almost every year. Countless monsters besiege the city. They seem to have gone crazy, forgetting life and death, and keep attacking Snow Wind City!"
"But as long as we hold on for three days, after three days, the beast tide will recede and those monsters will leave!"
Xu Qingyun frowned, not knowing the reason or why those monsters would attack Fengxue City. It would happen once a day for three days.
"Hasn't anyone studied why the beast tide occurred? There must be a reason why those monsters suddenly attacked Fengxue City." Xu Qingyun said.
Meng Xinghe replied: "Some people have studied it, some people think that this is a natural phenomenon, just like the sun rises and the moon sets. Some people think that there is something in the snowy city that attracts those ghosts, so they are like moths.
Attacking like fire, some people think that these monsters are looking for food..."
"However, there is no evidence to prove which reason is correct, or that none of these reasons caused the monsters to attack Snow Wind City and form a beast tide."
Xu Qingyun was a little silent.
At this time, Meng Xinghe suddenly said solemnly: "This year's beast tide is different from previous years!"
"Why is it different?" Xu Qingyun asked.
"This year's beast tide appeared early, almost a month in advance." Meng Xinghe frowned deeply, "Last year, the beast tide did not occur at this time."
"The beast tide is ahead of schedule, and we are not ready for many things!"
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight this war this year!"
