Compared to the orderly manner of the city guard and the garrisoned troops, the news that the monster beasts are about to attack the city is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for ordinary people!
The disastrous news spread around Xishu City at a frightening speed as the city guard spread the news without leaving any room.
Almost overnight, people in more than a dozen nearby towns and villages knew about it.
Panic, horror, disbelief...
All kinds of negative emotions spread unstoppably like a plague.
"The tide of monsters is coming!"
"I heard that this time the scale is particularly large and the situation is very dangerous!"
"Oh my God! Is this true? Then we are dead?!"
"That's a monster! It's something that even warriors may not be able to deal with. I heard it eats people without spitting out their bones..."
"What should I do? My wife just gave birth to a baby, and she can't move yet..."
"My mother broke her foot a few days ago, and now she can't walk. When the monster wave comes, what...what will I do?"
"Uuuuuuuuah...Mom, is there a monster coming to eat us?"
"I don't want to die..."
All kinds of panic and fearful remarks spread among the crowd.
Not to mention the timid children and girls, even the young and middle-aged men were so frightened that their faces turned pale when they heard that the wave of monsters was coming. Many of them even collapsed on the ground with weak legs.
As soon as the news spread, panic, despair, and fear filled the countryside.
There are cries everywhere, and there are voices everywhere cursing heaven and earth.
Everyone has the same thought in their mind - why are they so unlucky! The wave of monsters that only breaks out every few decades, just happened to be caught up by me?!
When disaster strikes, this kind of question will never be answered.
After the panic, chaos breaks out.
Some people were smarter and reacted quickly. As soon as they heard the news from Xishu City, they immediately led their whole family to pack up their belongings and prepare to rush into the city to take refuge.
This is not the first time that a monster siege broke out near the Netherworld Mountains.
Some older people have even experienced it two or three times and are rich in experience. If there is such an old man in the family, the chance of survival will be greatly improved.
Because anyone with experience knows that during a monster siege, villages and ordinary small towns are not safe, and they will be destroyed at any time.
To hide alone is to seek death.
Because the sense of smell of monsters is hundreds of times sharper than that of humans, they can easily find you even if you dig a hole and bury yourself.
The only safe refuges are the four major cities.
There are tall and thick city walls there, which are enough to withstand the impact of the tide of monsters. There are also border troops guarding the city walls, hunting monsters and protecting the people. There are even many powerful warriors, making it safer.
Therefore, when most people were panicking, panicking and even crying in despair, some people's homes where experienced elderly people were present were busy.
"Hurry up and pack your things. Take all the valuables with you. Our whole family is going to Xishu City!"
"Those who have a carriage ride in a carriage, those who don't have a carriage walk!"
"Bring more food. The last monster wave broke out for half a month, and there was no food in the city's granary. I don't know how long it will take this time. Be prepared..."
"Have your relatives been notified? Not yet, so hurry up and go! The sooner, the better. If you waste time and arrive late, you may not be able to get a good seat, and you will have to sleep on the street!"
