Bizarre

The fierce battle at the "Plague Base" continues, with the Beast Tide crashing against the three Mechanical City like an endless tidal wave.

The torrential rain above the clouds poured down harder and harder, greatly suppressing the power of Fire Magic and providing a continuous supply of rain for the two "Lord-tier" monsters.

Everyone guessed the outcome of this fierce battle, and everyone was struggling to hold on.

But when that moment of despair arrived, everyone was still taken aback.

Thud! Thud! Thud.

Suddenly, a violent explosion shot into the sky.

It was like a thunderclap in spring, shattering eardrums.

The entire base shook violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

A towering flame erupted from inside the "Radiance Thirty-Five" Mechanical City, sending a mushroom cloud soaring into the sky.

Judging from the intensity of the explosion, it was definitely not the work of artillery or magic; it seemed to have detonated the internal combustion boiler and ammunition compartment.

This is the sign of the fall of the Mechanical City. At the last moment, the commander will order the detonation of the Mechanical City's Steam Boilers, sacrificing himself to take the enemy with him. This is to kill the enemy, and also to prevent them from capturing an intact Mechanical City on the battlefield.

"The city has fallen!"

Someone shouted.

This explosion seemed to have ignited a signal.

This was an expected result.

The Mechanical City "Radiance Thirty-Five" was attacked by two "Lord-tier" monsters with concentrated firepower. The walls of the Mechanical City, like the walls of the previous camp, were useless and could not stop the mighty monster army at all.

Judging from the scale of the Beast Tide, the barbarians who came seeking revenge this time must be extremely powerful.

The fact that the Warcraft had exhausted the base's resistance was just the "appetizer"; the unknown killing blows were yet to come.

The longer they fight, the more disadvantaged they become for those from City of Radiance.

Now that one has been breached, it means the other two will face immense pressure.

The monsters, which had split into three groups, are now split into two, putting immense pressure on them. It's only a matter of time before the other two Mechanical City are breached.

On the other hand, thanks to the divine power of Old Master Tuster's Eight-Armed Mechanical God warriors, which killed several High-tier Demonic Beasts that had broken in, the situation at the ground base actually improved a lot.

Although the hunters also suffered heavy casualties, with only one or two out of ten surviving, fortunately, those who survived were mostly the stronger hunters.

"The city has fallen!"

"Those noble gentlemen are about to start fighting desperately."

"Haha. I've finally made it to this moment!"

"."

Seeing this, the surviving hunters did not despair; instead, their eyes shone with a last, ever-growing glimmer of hope.

The fall of the city means that the opportunity they have been waiting for has arrived!

They knew very well that those noble lords hiding in the city would eventually be defeated one by one and would surely die.

Therefore, if they wanted to survive, their only option was to break through!

The barbarian who orchestrated the Beast Tide behind the scenes must have known that the people in the Mechanical City were "big shots" and would definitely keep a close watch on them, since he was able to devise such a meticulous siege plan.

Those guys who break through and charge into the Beast Tide will definitely be targeted by the barbarians.

The other directions are the weak points of the Beast Tide.

Just as the hunters had predicted, the moment the violent explosion rang out, an even fiercer offensive suddenly erupted from the other two Mechanical City!

The Mage Corps unleashed a powerful area-of-effect spell, instantly clearing a space amidst the Beast Tide.

After briefly repelling the Beast Tide, a large group of people indeed rushed out from the two Mechanical City: Mage Corps, a guard regiment, and a group of nobles who were pale with fright.

They wore the most luxurious top-tier equipment and tore apart the most expensive High-Tier Magic Scroll.

High-priced life-saving items, which are usually hard to find in major trading companies, are now being thrown into the Beast Tide as if they were free.

With extremely strong firepower, they instantly created escape routes;

But the commotion was enormous, attracting more and more monsters to rush over.

"The way these noble gentlemen are fleeing in disarray looks just like a bunch of sissies!"

"Hahaha, a bunch of sons of bitches, ptooey!"

"Heh heh. I thought those guys who always look down on others wouldn't be afraid of death. They're just like old dogs with their tails between their legs."

"."

The hunters made no secret of their mockery of the powerful and wealthy.

Burgos, the deputy leader of "Iron Boots," Martin, the leader of "Bloody Battle Axe," and several other members of large Scavenger Gang also met together.

"Everyone, prepare to break out. The nobles in Mechanical City are fighting desperately now. Once they lure the main force of monsters away, we should set off."

"Heh heh, they used to make us take the fall, but now these powerful figures are actually doing something. At least they can attract the main force of the Beast Tide."

"Although today was unlucky, it was also a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. I never expected that there would be such an incredibly powerful mechanic in the Hunter's team."

"Yes! If it weren't for that mechanical giant successively killing those High-tier Demonic Beasts that rushed into the camp, it's hard to say how many of us low-level hunters without the protection of the Mechanical City would have survived."

"The time is almost up. Without further ado, farewell. Gentlemen, whether you live or die now depends on your luck."

"Hehe, if you're still alive, I'll treat you to drinks!"

"Stop talking nonsense! If I'm still alive, I'll treat everyone to a good time at the best brothel!"

"Rush!"

"."

As soon as the words were spoken, the major Scavenger Gang each chose a direction based on their intuition and began their breakout.

There's no point in trying to break through by grouping together; the monster horde will just follow and end up being wiped out.

If we split up and rush in now, we can still try our luck.

If there are fewer High-tier Demonic Beast encountered in a certain direction, it might be possible to break through.

In the end, who survives depends on their methods and their luck.

On the other hand,

"Rein, Karl, get ready to break out!"

Old Master Tuster replaced the ammunition boxes on the mechs, and with a few bursts of fire, he cleared a space near the tent, creating a breakout route.

"Good."

Rein nodded; he had already packed everything up and there was nothing he needed to take.

Just to be on the safe side, I wore an extra set of light leather armor.

He had originally been worried about the safety of Tuster and his grandson, but now he had no such concerns at all.

On the contrary, because the old man's combat mech is as ruthless and powerful as a bulldozer, as long as it doesn't encounter special monsters like the Mud Monster, the probability of it breaking through is very high.

Everyone in the entire "Plague Base" was preparing to break out; no one thought they could survive until the Beast Tide ended.

But before everyone could rush out of the base's walls,

Suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The torrential rain stopped abruptly, and the "demonic wind" that had been howling like ghosts in the base also abruptly ceased.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Swamp Lord, who was besieging another Mechanical City, suddenly turned into a puddle of mud and merged into the swamp.

The [Gun Flower Vine Demon] also closed its tender branches and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The two "Lord-tier" monsters actually retreated?

At this moment, the monster horde besieging the Plague Base suddenly regained their senses, the madness in their eyes vanished, replaced by bewilderment.

As if the frenetic music of a disco had been paused, all the Warcraft creatures in the Genesis were stunned for a moment.

It's like they suddenly realized something after watching the drinking video.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, the magical beasts also showed fear in their eyes and scattered instantly, even faster than when they arrived.

In the blink of an eye, the vast base was deserted except for the corpses of the monsters; no living monsters could be seen.

The monsters were faster than humans, heading deeper into the swamp.

The hunters who were breaking out were utterly astonished to see the Beast Tide fleeing faster than them, and they stopped running.

In the blink of an eye, the Beast Tide vanished without a trace in the swamp, leaving behind bewildered stares.

"What's going on?"

"The Beast Tide has receded?"

It seems so.

"."

Everyone was stunned and had no idea what was going on.

There was a dreamlike quality in everyone's eyes.

The once bustling base was now nothing but a mass of mangled remains. The hunters stared at the empty camp, momentarily at a loss.

If it weren't for the devastation of the battlefield, everyone would probably think it was all a dream.

Is the Beast Tide really over?

Rein and his group also stopped their breakout attempt.

Bazel leaped onto the camp's wall, sensed the situation for a moment, then frowned and said, "The Beast Tide has indeed receded."

He was certain that the monsters had indeed retreated back into the swamp, and were running further and further away.

Upon hearing this, Rein looked puzzled. "Huh?"

The Beast Tide is truly over.

It was so abrupt it was almost unbelievable.

Clearly, the Beast Tide has a significant advantage, so there's no need for any "feigned retreat" tactics. Having breached one Mechanical City, they can quickly seize the other two by pressing their advantage.

But that would be a bit of a letdown.

They clearly came with the intention of annihilating everyone, so why did those barbarians suddenly retreat?

It's clearly not a change of heart.

Instead of looking relieved, Bazel's face grew even more serious. "Rein, something might be strange. You'd better be careful."

Rein also felt that the retreat of the Beast Tide was somewhat strange, and nodded. "Yes."

But the Beast Tide did eventually recede.

Without the constant barrage of heavy attacks from the monsters, the mechanical giant had no use for anything.

The golden antler helmet snapped open, revealing old man Tuster's slightly ruddy face. He asked with a puzzled look, "Rein, Beast Tide?"

"Yes, Grandpa Tuster."

Seeing that the old man's complexion was not bad, Rein breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that nothing serious happened. I was just worried that God couldn't handle all that commotion.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Perhaps the high-ranking barbarian priest who instigated the Beast Tide suddenly died from a magical backlash, or perhaps it's for some other reason. In any case, all the living magical beasts around the base have vanished without a trace."

He had encountered a similar situation before in the forests of City of Radiance. That time, it seemed that the Beast Tide was interrupted because of Wudo's magical backlash.

I think this is probably the most reasonable guess.

Upon hearing this, Tuster's expression immediately relaxed. "It's good that you've withdrawn."

In a flash, Rein realized that the old man's "spirited" state was a bit unusual, and asked timidly, "Grandpa Tuster, did you drink some kind of potion before?"

This is not the state a patient should be in; it's obvious that he's on drugs.

"Yes."

Tuster smiled dismissively and said, "The 'Sobering Potion' your teacher prepared for me can keep me conscious for a certain period of time and prevent me from falling into a coma."

"Call"

Rein breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Fortunately, it's not a banned drug. Although this "Sobering Potion" has some side effects, its effects are mild and won't kill you.

The medicine prepared by the teacher is reliable.

But Tuster's next words startled Rein even more. The old man put away the test tube in the Mechanical Arm, seemingly still wanting more. "It feels so good to be full of energy. But this is good too, it saves us from needing a third dose."

"The third one?"

Upon hearing this, Rein's eyelids twitched violently.

This "Sobering Potion" is an emergency medicine. A normal person can only take one dose, but the old man has already taken two doses.

Is he planning to risk his life to send himself and Karl out?

Sure enough, without the medication, the side effects quickly took hold.

Seeing Rein's expression, Tuster feigned a relaxed demeanor and said, "Don't worry, I..."

The words abruptly stopped!

As the old man was talking, without any warning, he suddenly fainted!

Upon seeing this, Karl exclaimed, "Grandpa!"

Rein's expression changed, and he immediately jumped onto the mech. After a quick check, he immediately diagnosed, "The drug's side effects have backfired!"

Without a moment's delay, he immediately used a scalpel to cut a line on the old man's wrist, relieving some of the unbearable pressure on the blood vessels. Then, he quickly used "Gang Line" (a type of magical energy) to help improve blood flow to the brain and heart, calming his rapidly beating heart.
