"I don't know either!"
Lin Zhaoran lowered her gaze, but her eyes grew even brighter.
"But this sound, this commotion, can't be the Calamity Beast fighting amongst themselves! It's more likely that our human forces have clashed with the Calamity Beast and are now fighting!"
"Huh? This..."
Yu Yanhui's eyes widened, her mind unable to process what was happening for a moment.
The message for help couldn't be sent out, and no one outside knew that Frontier-Pacifying City was besieged, but... had reinforcements arrived?
This is just so strange!!
"This isn't the time to think about these things!" Lin Zhaoran said, turning and walking to the side. " Yanhui, hurry up and get ready, a fight is about to break out!"
"Huh? This... Sister Zhaoran, why?" Yu Yanhui, but her steps unconsciously followed.
Lin Zhaoran replied, "The fighting has already started over there. The Calamity Beast below can't just stand by and do nothing, and we can't just abandon our allies over there either, so..."
She suddenly stopped, turned her head, and looked directly at Yu Yanhui.
"This war began the moment that first cannon shot rang out!"
Seeing Sister Zhaoran's serious expression, Yu Yanhui nodded, still somewhat dazed.
The two continued forward.
But before they could take more than a few steps, the broadcast started blaring throughout the city.
"All attention! All attention!"
"The reinforcements from Bedrock City are currently fighting against the Calamity Beast that have come to support the beast tide below. All members, please immediately prepare for Level 1 combat!"
"Repeat the notice again! Repeat the notice again!"
"Reinforcements from Bedrock City..."
Soon, the broadcast ended.
Frontier-Pacifying City was quiet for a moment, then...
"Were you just saying this was reinforcements?!"
"Hmm, it seems to be from Bedrock City!"
Where is Bedrock City? Does anyone know?
"Who cares what he does..."
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Hahaha..."
The Frontier-Pacifying City erupted in chaos.
Everyone was exchanging ideas and expressing their opinions, as if only in this way could they release the excited emotions in their hearts.
No one knows the excitement they were feeling at that moment.
After waiting for many days and having already given up, I suddenly felt like I had been given a second chance.
They didn't know the specifics, but they already knew from the broadcast.
Reinforcements have arrived! They're saved!
"Quick, stop arguing, prepare for battle!"
It's unclear whether it was a shout or not, but then the sounds rose and fell in waves.
"Quickly, all personnel, get to your combat posts immediately!"
"Load the artillery!"
"Ha, watch me slaughter all these beasts later!"
"Quick, ammunition..."
Cheers echoed throughout Frontier-Pacifying City.
The figures, no longer exuding their previous lifelessness, began to run swiftly through Frontier-Pacifying City.
Cheers came from the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, a figure as white as jelly stood quietly.
Its body leaned back slightly, curving into a shallow arc, as if it were looking up.
His body swayed slightly, seemingly somewhat confused.
What are they cheering for up there?
Beside it stood a Hard-Armored Salamander, occasionally blinking as its gaze swept across the surrounding mountains and forests.
"Fluttering--"
A Sky-Skimming Harrier suddenly swooped down from a distance.
"Lord Mirror Water Beast! Lord Mirror Water Beast!" the Sky-Skimming Harrier cried out, its chest heaving violently, "Lord Hooktail Lord Golden Suanni has been attacked by humans! Lord Hooktail Lord Golden Suanni has been attacked by humans!"
"Confirmed?" The Hard-Armored Salamander stared directly at the Sky-Skimming Harrier.
"Yes!" The Sky-Skimming Harrier nodded repeatedly. "It's confirmed. That is indeed Lord Hook-Tail Lord Golden Suanni's group, and they are under attack!"
"Why would there be humans lying in ambush so close by?" the Hard-Armored Salamander asked in a deep voice, its rough, hoarse tone sounding as if it were being squeezed from the depths of its throat.
"This... I don't know either!" The Sky-Skimming Harrier opened its mouth, speaking hesitantly.
This is under its jurisdiction, but it really doesn't know why there would be human attacks so close by.
Upon hearing this, the Hard-Armored Salamander frowned, but didn't dwell on it at this moment. It asked,
"Do you know anything about those humans who were lying in ambush?"
"I... I don't know either." The Sky-Skimming Harrier trembled, lowering its head. "The clansmen we sent to scout were all targeted and killed. We can only watch from afar. It seems there are many of them, and their firepower is very strong. I think the team led by the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni is already on the verge of collapse!"
Upon hearing this, the Hard-Armored Salamander's pupils contracted slightly.
It paused for a moment, then turned to look at the jelly-like figure beside it.
"Lord Mirror Water Beast," its voice lowered, "Now, please give the order for us to evacuate immediately!"
The Sky-Skimming Harrier paused for a moment, looking somewhat bewildered at the Armored Hard-Armored Salamander, then at the Mirror Water Beast.
Lord Hook-Tail Lord Golden Suanni was attacked over there; shouldn't they go to his aid? Why are they running away instead?
Seemingly equally puzzled, the jelly-like body swayed slightly and asked,
"Why?"
The Hard-Armored Salamander said in a deep voice, " The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni had over ten thousand Calamity Beast, yet they were almost defeated in such a short time. This means those humans are probably extremely strong. If we go over there, I'm afraid..."
The rest was left unsaid, but both Calamity Beast understood.
The swooping harrier looked at the Sky-Skimming Harrier Hard-Armored Salamander with a hint of reverence.
As expected of Hard-Armored Salamander, he figured out the situation in such a short time!
Similarly, the Mirror Water Beast understood. It remained silent, its jelly-like body swaying slightly, with faint ripples spreading across its surface.
A moment later, the jelly-like head nodded slightly.
"Okay... I understand."
The Hard-Armored Salamander's spirits lifted, and it was about to turn around and give the order.
A transparent tentacle emerged from the side of the Mirror Water Beast, pointing not at the mountaintop, but behind it.
"Let's go... over there."
The Hard-Armored Salamander froze.
It turned around, its eyes filled with disbelief. "Lord Mirror Water Beast, why...?"
"I want to go and see... what's going on over there," the Mirror Water Beast replied slowly.
"But we don't know the situation over there yet!" the Hard-Armored Salamander's voice became urgent. "What if those humans are lying in ambush on us?!"
The Mirror Water Beast swayed, seemingly amused by this statement.
Its body even trembled slightly, as if it were leaping with joy because of some kind of anticipation.
"It's alright... In that case... it's even more interesting."
The Hard-Armored Salamander opened its mouth, as if to say something.
The Mirror Water Beast spoke first, "Do you think... they just happened to run into each other... or were they waiting there all along?"
The Hard-Armored Salamander was taken aback, its eyes flickering.
"This..."
"Don't worry... they've probably been waiting there for a while." The Mirror Water Beast's voice was unhurried, as if stating something perfectly ordinary. "Not letting the Sky-Skimming Harrier gather information... is probably to make us think there are many people over there... and they don't want us to go."
It paused, its body leaning slightly forward.
"But precisely because of this... we must move forward even more."
The Hard-Armored Salamander remained silent for a moment, then suddenly seemed to understand something, its eyes widening slightly.
"They were just waiting here? Then why didn't they come and attack us?"
The Mirror Water Beast didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What do you think?"
The Hard-Armored Salamander was stunned.
It lowered its head, its eyes flashing rapidly, then suddenly looked up, its gaze now clear and bright.
"I see!"
It nodded emphatically, its voice filled with barely suppressed admiration.
"Lord Mirror Water Beast is brilliant! Those humans are lying in ambush over there, but they're not moving against us, so they definitely can't. Although I don't know how they defeated Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni and the others in such a short time, they must have used some sales tactics. Please wait, I'll go and arrange it right away!"
As it spoke, it turned to leave, but...
"Etc."
The transparent tentacles stretched out again, and this time, they were indeed pointing towards the mountaintop.
"Arrange for some Calamity Beast... to attack the area above."
The Hard-Armored Salamander turned its head, a hint of confusion flashing in its eyes. "Why... why? Aren't we going over there?"
"I don't want to be disturbed."
The Mirror Water Beast's voice remained unhurried, its body swaying gently.
The Hard-Armored Salamander paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically.
"I see."
It turned around, its strong limbs began to move, and a deep roar echoed through the mountains and forests.
