Chapter 583 The Strongest Of The Beasts

Zhao Yan was confident. He was certain that the barricade at the foot of the fortress walls could stop the beast tide.

The soldier got even more panicked. Captain, it's true. We have to respond immediately. How will we fight if those huge beasts outside break in?

Giant tusk elephants, king crocodiles, titan pythons, and other such beasts could shake the mountains with each step they took. They needed more than a dozen soldiers to have a chance of killing any one of them.

It was almost difficult to deal with.

There were more than 3,000 ferocious beasts in this beast tide, and nearly half of them were of this enormous variety.

What made them despair was that these beasts were attacking them with a purpose.

It would have been tolerable if they only had to deal with a portion of the beast tide. However, these beasts were all concentrated on attacking this stronghold.

This was a fact that Zhao Yan was unable to accept. He had never encountered such a situation in all his years of battle experience.

Damn it! What's going on? Is there really a beast king in them?

Just how powerful is that beast king? How could it have such great intelligence, even perfecting its offensive formation?

Zhao Yan mumbled in a low voice as if he were about to be possessed.

Captain, we have to react now! The soldier reminded him again.

Zhao Yan abruptly raised his head and walked toward the other side of the fortress walls.

After he walked over, he looked down the fortress wall and saw a strong-looking single-horned rhinoceros lowering its head to the lowest position.

After that, it arched forward and inserted its long horn into the bottom of the barricade.

Before everyone's shocked eyes, the rhinoceros picked up the steel barricades!

This huge metal lump was about the same size as the rhino. It was actually sent flying when the beast flicked its head, and the barricade smashed heavily on the ground.

The barricade was made of pure metal, making it heavy and dense. When it landed on the ground, one-third of it sank into the ground!

As a result, the previously impenetrable fence was broken!

However, this gap wasn't enough for all these beasts to pass through!

At that moment, the other rhinos seemed to have learned the same thing. They all stuck their long horns into the bottom of the barricade, then arched their heads with all their might, sending the barricades flying.

The gap was getting bigger and bigger, and the single-horned rhinoceros rushed in like a flood toward the fortress gates.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan, who was on the fortress wall, began to panic.

No It's as if the rhinoceros had received some kind of command and suddenly knew how to deal with the barricade! This is impossible!

Ordinary ferocious beasts had low intelligence and were only smart in their instinctive fighting capabilities. In other aspects, they were stupid and acted like regular animals.

Zhao Yan thought of the beast king Lu Yu mentioned, but he knew it was difficult for a beast king to appear. Typically, a beast group would have a leader, but that was different from a beast king. The beast king could be the leader of a collective group of ferocious beasts!

It was precisely because of this that beast kings were rare.

Zhao Yan gulped audibly. He hadn't expected the chances of encountering a beast king in the ancient ruins would be so high.

Captain, what should we do? These beasts are about to break through our gates!

Lin Shu exclaimed in a panic, and she was so scared that she couldn't stop trembling. She could already imagine the scene of her being ripped apart by these ferocious beasts.

It's fine. Our fortress walls are made of pure steel. These flesh and blood bodies can't break through our solid defense!

Lin Shu calmed down a little and replied hesitantly, But there are a few titan pythons in the beast tide. These creatures can climb up the wall!

Zhao Yan looked ahead and said, There are seven of them in total, and they look as thick as an old tree. There's no other way, and we must deal with these pythons first!

At least, we should be able to keep most of the beasts out. That's enough.

Lin Shu was still uncertain. Is Is this really enough?

Zhao Yan wasn't too sure either. However, as the leader, the entire team would be finished if he started to doubt himself.

Let's start our battle. We have more than just a chance of winning!

Right, have you contacted the fighter?

We're searching for his signal but haven't found anything yet. If we place all our hopes on him, I'm afraid it'll be unlikely

I see

Zhao Yan heaved a long sigh, his tone filled with helplessness. If the fortress gates were broken through and the beasts outside all rushed in, it was inevitable they wouldn't be able to defeat them. They could either fight to the death, and a few might survive, or they could escape with their remaining soldiers.

The hope of escape was also very slim, and it was difficult to accept that they would die standing there.

Zhao Yan placed one hand on the wall and looked down. He was a little worried.

Do you think we can turn the situation around if we call Lu Yu and the others over to fight together?

Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh. You're still joking at a time like this. What can five or six more people change at a time like this? Nothing.

He's a captain, after all. To get this rank, his strength must be extraordinary.

Lin Shu nodded. That's right. If the other captains were here, they would definitely be able to destroy this monster horde.

But Lu Yu is different. Although he's a captain, he's a special case.

I'm sure they only gave him a military rank to rope him in because they saw his potential.

Zhao Yan heaved a long sigh. I have the same train of thought. Since that's the case, we can only rely on ourselves. I doubt it will be possible to turn the tide around even if we add a few more helpers.

Zhao Yan was unwilling to ask for Lu Yu's help, and he had seen Lu Yu sitting there like nothing was happening.

He knew that Lu Yu had a temper. If he didn't invite Lu Yu personally, Lu Yu wouldn't fight.

Let's not care about him now; let's focus on the present

The giant elephant herd in the beast tide began to spread out at that point, revealing an area in the center.

Following that, a black-gray elephant slowly walked out. With every step it took, the ground would tremble, striking panic deep into Zhao Yan's heart.

At that moment, Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly widened as he looked before him in disbelief.

Fuck! The tremors earlier weren't caused by the beast tide. It was all caused by this beast alone!

Zhao Yan realized, to his shock, that when the elephant herd dispersed, there was no tremor. However, when the black-gray elephant began to move, the quakes got obvious and intense.
