Chapter 1150 – Change in War Model
After the Pterosaur dropped the soldier, it charged down once more and appeared above Ouyang Shuo.
"Protect the king!"
The Divine Martial Guards were waiting solemnly in their formation. Xu Chu wielded his blade and stood straight.
Ouyang Shuo's expression did not change as he unsheathed the Chixiao Sword. Although he had lost his primordial energy, the body of his body was really strong, and his senses were as sharp as before.
Just as the Pterosaur's hind claws reached out, Ouyang Shuo took a step to the side, and the Chixiao Sword drew a red light in the air and viciously cut toward the sharp claws.
Along with the blood red light, the claws were broken, and the Pterosaur cried out in pain.
A God Weapon was just that strong!
Xu Chu, who stood beside Ouyang Shuo, waved his machete. The blade shone with white like it was accumulating primordial energy as it sliced toward the left wing of the beast like lightning. Like tearing apart cloth, the blade broke the entire wing.
'Ao~~'
The Pterosaur could not take it anymore and collapsed onto the ground. It limped a few steps before it was killed by the Divine Martial Guards.
Seeing that, the morale of the soldiers boomed.
Who would have known that this would instead have the effect of stabbing the hornets' nest? Hearing the final cry, the 11 Pterosaurs circling above all flew over.
Even the two giant tyrannosauruses looked in their direction.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes focused. He did not expect the beast to be so sentient, and his evaluation of them increased.
Zhao Sihu was about to move more troops over, but Ouyang Shuo blocked them, "Go order the troops to attack the other beasts, leave here to the Divine Martial Guards."
"Yes, my king!" Zhao Sihu did not dare to disobey orders.
As this was the first time they were engaging a beast flood, the City Protection Legion Corps soldiers were a little uncomfortable. Luckily, they were experienced soldiers that had been through many battles. If not, their fighting spirit would have collapsed.
"These beasts are not simple!"
At this very moment, Blood Romance and the others rushed over and scattered, getting ready to fight the Pterosaurs. As the top players amongst the combat occupation players, they had more experience against beasts than the Divine Martial Guards.
While they were speaking, the Pterosaurs had already swooped down.
Looking at its speed, it was obviously much faster than the last one. It charged right down in an instance.
The Pterosaur that was leading them was especially fast. It spread its wings; it was a total of eight meters long. Its pair of hind legs were muscular and strong, and its kept claws were ready to strike at any moment.
Before they even got close, Ouyang Shuo felt a huge gust of wind wrap up around him. Dust and stones flew, affecting his vision.
"Cunning beasts!"
Ouyang Shuo did not dare to take it lightly. He took in a deep breath and focused, locking his eyes onto the sharp claws.
At this very moment, the sharp claws of the Pterosaur struck out like lightning. They were about to grab onto him. Ouyang Shuo was stunned. He had misjudged its speed, and it was too late to dodge.
In this emergency situation, Ouyang Shuo fell to the ground, managing to barely dodge it.
Seeing that its strike had missed, the Pterosaur flapped its wing and actually stopped in mid-air, striking out once more right at Ouyang Shuo's chest.
If he was hit, he would suffer heavy injuries even if he did not die.
Obviously, Ouyang Shuo would not wait to die. His left hand pressed onto the ground while his right hand turned the Chixiao Sword upward to strike. The Pterosaur witnessed the strength of the Chixiao Sword before and did not dare go straight up against it, hesitating right away.
Seeing that, Ouyang Shuo got half his body up and stabbed forward with the sword. He drew an arc in the sky and made a circle around the claws of the Pterosaur.
Blood splattered.
The claws, the skin, and the tendons were all cut into pieces and were rendered totally useless.
'Ao~~'
The Pterosaur suffered heavy injuries, and its killing intent was triggered. It did not bother about the pain. It just charged down, and the claw that was not hurt scratched at Ouyang Shuo.
'Hei!'
Ouyang Shuo let out a cold laugh. Using strength on his left hand, he spun around on the spot, dodging the claw and arriving right in front of the Pterosaur. The Chixiao Sword stabbed out once more and claimed the throat of the Pterosaur.
Ouyang Shuo had used up all his energy to execute this move.
The Chixiao Sword turned into a red light. Half of the sword stabbed into the throat and went right through.
Blood splattered.
Ouyang Shuo pulled the sword out and quickly dodged, but the blood still splattered all over him. The Pterosaur leader died on the ground. Its rugby-shaped head smashed onto the ground and revealed a row of sharp teeth.
On the other fronts, Blood Romance and the others all did well, killing their Pterosaur opponents. It seemed like in front of true experts, the Pterosaurs were still a little weak.
As for the soldiers, this was a huge test for them. The valiant Divine Martial Guards had three people who died under the attacks of the Pterosaurs.
Ouyang Shuo was a little worried about the defensive situations of the other caves.
Following which, Ouyang Shuo brought the Divine Martial Guards and smoothly killed the two tyrannosaurs and helped the City Protection Legion Corps stabilize the situation. Even so, they were busy till the afternoon before the battle was truly over.
Compared to the Pterosaur, the tyrannosaurs were bigger. In front of experts, this was a weakness. As long as one avoided the biting and stepping and had patience, they could cut off its four limbs.
However, to normal soldiers, these beasts were true killing machines. Once these monsters entered the army formation, no one could block them. With one step, they would step humans into meat paste.
In order to kill off the beast wave, a total of 1800 City Protection Legion Corps members had died.
...
At 3 PM, Ouyang Shuo carried his heavy heart and rushed back to Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo had witnessed the strength of the beast horde. Great Xia was facing such a cruel test on all fronts. Since its territory was so huge, it was unavoidable for civilians to get hurt.
Xia Palace, Grand Council.
"Has the situation at the various areas been tabulated?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Military Affairs Minister Du Ruhui nodded and handed over a document and simply said, "Based on the report, there were 82 beast caves, an average of one every prefecture. Of course, some might have appeared in the mountains and forests and were not noticed."
"Some were big, and some were small. The biggest had over two thousand beasts, the smallest had less than 100. The locations of these caves are really uneven. Some prefectures did not have any, while some had three."
Ouyang Shuo asked, "How is the crisis situation?"
"The Cabinet is still tabulating the numbers regarding the specific situation. The worse one is Lingnan Province, which had eight monster caves, and the biggest one is here. The 4th and 5th legions of the Tiger Legion Corps have received the order to move and rush over day and night. Till now, only the vanguard forces have arrived."
"For this, the Grand Council has moved the 1st legion of the Guards Legion Corps toward Lingnan Province to calm down the situation. Helplessly, the caves were far from Zhenhai City, and there has already been a county taken down by the beast flood."
"...."
Ouyang Shuo's face turned black.
It was apparent what would happen to the lives of the civilians once the beast wave broke into the county. These beasts were killing machines, and they were all blood thirsty.
They did not kill humans just to fill their stomachs.
When Du Ruhui saw that, he continued to report, "The situation in Liaojin Province is not too good either. The Beijiang Legion Corps is facing trouble stabilizing it. The 2nd legion of the Guards Legion Corps is already on its way to help."
