Chapter 391: Chapter 391
The dramatic change occurred when no one expected it. In every way, it was business as usual. This took not only Du You by surprise, but also the populace of the three main cities.
But sometimes things just take a dramatic turn. Like any other day, the small gates on the four sides of the city walls were opened early in the morning, and the Beastman elites leapt out, ready to go hunting outside.
They really had no choice. Part of their farmland destroyed by Du You, had been exaggerated by rumors, resulting in many people hoarding food, reducing the supply within the Beastman city.
Facing a food shortage, they could only find ways to gather more from outside.
Moreover, in the eyes of the upper-class Beastmen, the ordinary Beastmen were merely their cannon fodder. These beings must obey their commands and would absolutely not affect them. These creatures gathering outside the city were truly annoying, consuming the food that rightfully belonged to them.
But with these creatures around, the Beastman upper class didn’t worry about the city’s safety. Sieging Beastman city meant dealing with these beings first. Although Du You was powerful and troublesome, the Beastmen believed that if he dared show up again near their city, their arrangements would certainly trap him.
After all, they were a large city, not so easily dealt with. Even without air power, they could readily arrange for aerial defenses.
But this morning, things took a turn. A group of Beastman elites were driving half-Beastmen and Boar people towards the outskirts as they ran. They’d had plenty of these experiences lately. Facing these disrespecting, non-resisting beings, the Beastman soldiers with pent up anger had started crossing the line.
One lash of the whip, and a Boarman’s face would gain a new scar. The assaulting soldier would laugh recklessly, as if all this was greatly entertaining.
Even if the Boar people and Half-Beastmen managed to avoid the soldiers’ advancement, they would often suddenly change direction to give them a good thrashing. Ignoring the cleared path, they insisted on marching through crowded areas.
No one noticed that the rage in the eyes of these Boarmen and Half-Beastmen had been intensifying.
There was something different about today, the Boar people and Half-Beastmen’s retreat directions seemed abnormal and scattered. At the same time, some of them wouldn’t back down no matter how much they were beaten, instead, they’d willingly face it.
Faced with this situation, the Beastman soldiers became even more delighted, they loved these non-retreating targets.
What they didn’t realize was how dispersed their ranks were becoming.
A once unified army had slowly become disarrayed. Many had ventured deep into the crowd, separated from the others. Yet they were oblivious to the problem.
After awhile, the Beastman team leader checked the time and loudly said, "Stop fooling around now, let’s quickly go hunting. If we don’t bring back enough food today, we all will face punishment."
"Ah, no more fun, so boring." A Beastman soldier remarked disheartenedly. "Clear the way, you’re blocking my path," he had just turned around to find his retreat path blocked.
At this moment, the Half-Beastmen and Boar people exchanged glances, none of them willing to make way.
The Beastmen became even angrier. The commanders at the rear had already sensed the change in the situation. "It’s time to take action, send the signal."
A Half-Beastman upon hearing this, hurled three black objects towards the sky. The objects ignited, forming three blazing orbs.
Seeing these orbs, the Boarmen and Half-Beastmen who had been enduring the whipping suddenly pulled out their hidden weapons and pounced at the boastful soldiers.
"Damn scoundrels, feeding off us, using us, treating us like cannon fodder, and now starving us. Die!"
Boarmen and Half-Beastmen pushed to their limits didn’t care about who stood in their way. They were ready to sacrifice their lives in combating humans, and would be no different towards these Beastmen.
The Beastmen, who never thought they would be attacked, were quickly overwhelmed due to their surrounded situation. A considerable number of them were dragged down and torn to pieces within moments, leaving others stunned.
"You dare to rebel, you damned rats. Kill them all!" Rage was the only thing left in the Beastmen leader after the initial surprise subsided.
These oppressed cannon fodder under his rule had actually dared to resist. To vent his anger, he must kill them all. However, he forgot that he was facing nearly two hundred thousand of these lowly beasts. Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
In the heat of the moment, the elite Half-Beastmen and Boar fighters disregarded these emerged soldiers. Their target was the city gate. The gate was already open; they had to hold it.
The city gate, which was about to be closed, was suddenly stormed by several top fighters. After a series of screams, the gatekeepers were killed. The gate, which was about to be closed, had been reopened.
"Join us, overthrow the cursed high-class bastards."
As some of the city gates were opened, the prepared warriors rushed in without concern for their life.
Only now did the soldiers who had just left the city start to realize something was wrong. "Get back quickly, we can’t let them in."
The soldiers on the wall were stunned at the audacity of these people. After their initial surprise, they hastily rang the alarm, plunging the whole city into chaos.
But the soldiers on the edge of the city wall were simply too few, and the situation was too sudden, so that they couldn’t react in time. Thus, the elite forces reached the city gates.
A multitude of them slaughtered the gatekeepers, then flung open the gates. As the gates opened, the speed of the Half-Beastmen and Boarmen invasion increased. It was as if the city had already been breached.
With four city gates broken, countless people rushed in hysterically. As the battle launched, these people had bloodied eyes and gradually lost sight of their mission.
A few Half-Beastmen with a strong desire for destruction suddenly threw their torches at the surrounding houses.
Seeing this, others immediately followed suit, setting the city ablaze. With such a commotion, the scattered soldiers within the Beastman city finally realized something was wrong.
