Chapter 2160 The Strange Yin and Yang
I retracted my head with lingering fear, looked at Achilles blankly, pondered my thoughts, and said in a dry tone: "Did you see it?"
Achilles frowned tightly, clenched his bowl-sized fists loudly, remained silent for a moment, and nodded slowly and heavily.
"What do you think that is?"
"I don't know." Achilles shook his head and said, "It's just a skinless human arm. It's impossible to determine its species."
"Will the next wave of monsters be all this kind of thing?"
I shudder when I think of the ferocious appearance of all the muscles in my body exposed to the air.
"How would I know?"
After leaving these words, Achilles returned to the team with a solemn expression.
After telling the situation to several leading men, the old Duke and others gasped in unison. Taylor's face didn't look good either, but fortunately he was very calm.
Everyone discussed for a long time and changed their marching plan. They would go to Airui City and encircle and suppress the monsters with the Airui City military. Instead, they changed to waiting in place to block the next wave of monsters.
Afterwards, through the micro call crystal, I reported the current situation and the temporarily changed march plan to the Orc King, hoping that he could convey our thoughts to Carter Horton so that he could prepare for the situation in advance.
Before hanging up the call, the Orc King conveyed bad news to me in a heavy tone: the fifth town had fallen.
In just a few days, Airui City was captured by five towns one after another. The speed was simply shocking.
When I told the news, every big boss had a bad look on his face, especially Achilles. I could hear the constant snapping sounds between his knuckles.
While stationed in place, I comforted Achilles: "Humans always have an inexplicable sense of fear when faced with disasters. Driven by fear, they often make unwise choices. Therefore, it is normal for towns to fall. .”
Achilles closed his eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and said: "I know, it's just that it was too fast."
He was right. The monsters were attacking cities and territories too quickly. In just a few days, five towns fell one after another.
If the fall of the first two towns was due to poor defense, lax precautions, and incomplete personnel deployment, then the next three towns were entirely due to the gap in strength.
This gap arises, on the one hand, because of the overall quality of the adventurers defending the city, and on the other hand, it is also related to Carter Horton's attitude.
Every country has its own heritage, and the monarch of every country has at least one trump card.
I know Master Dewey’s trump card, and I also know the Elf Queen’s trump card. Both of their trump cards are enough to shake the foundation of any country.
I believe that Carter Horton also has his own trump card, or trump card, which is actually the same, used to save the monarch's life.
If Carter Horton really cares about his people and is willing to devote his strength to them, it is very likely that the first wave of monsters will be blocked from the third wave of towns.
I have no doubt about the power of the cards.
But he didn't.
This fully shows that Carter Horton does not take the lives of his people seriously, and it also shows that he is a far-sighted monarch.
The trump card cannot be easily revealed to others, just like a man's treasure, it is only worth using at the most appropriate time.
It's obviously not the right time yet. Once the secret of the trump card is revealed, people with evil intentions will target them, and the Carter family will be in danger.
Even if the family is not destroyed, he, the monarch, will be worried all day long.
Therefore, not to mention the death of his people, but also the death of his son, as long as his own life is not endangered, as long as his rule is not threatened, the trump card will always be hidden in the palm of his hand.
"The sixth town will also fall soon."
I murmured.
In my ears, Odachi's voice sounded: "The magic fluctuations of these monsters are not as strong as expected. Even that big spider is no match for your grandfather."
I raised my eyebrows, a little surprised: "Is the old man so powerful?"
"He is very powerful," Odachi said: "Of all the humans I have come into contact with since I came to this world, he is the strongest."
"No wonder. In this case, it makes sense for the old man to kill the evil dragon Spitz."
"You want him to kill the evil dragon Spitz?" Odachi chuckled: "You are too underestimated the evil dragon Spitz. The aura he feeds back is not powerful at the human level. Dragons have never been It’s not easy to deal with, let alone a giant dragon.”
"It would be great if we could invite Spitz here." I sighed quietly: "With its true strength, a few breaths of dragon breath can take care of a wave."
"Using disaster to deal with disaster?" Odachi chuckled: "It's a good idea, but it is destined to be impossible to realize unless you can unlock the seal in your body and activate the power that originally belongs to you."
I rolled my eyes: "Do you believe what they said?"
"Why don't you believe it?" Odachi said: "The power of Tyrannosaurus King Bakar is no joke. His strength is not something that the humans of Zephyr Continent can compete with."
"Then he will be expelled back to the Dragon Clan territory by the Celestial Clan's puppet mecha?" I curled my lips, a little disdainfully: "There is no doubt about his power, but he can still compete, right?"
"You are a bit over the top," Odachi retorted: "I am referring to the current humans in Zephyr Continent. They are not a little bit weaker than the humans I met when I first came to this world."
"It's a pity that you are buried deep in the tomb and your age is unknown. Otherwise, I could roughly deduce the year you fell into this world and the strength of the adventurers at that time."
"What's the use of knowing that?" Odachi asked puzzledly: "Can it be used as food or something?"
If you think about it carefully, what Odachi said is not unreasonable. Knowing that the information is really useless, it is better to rub the knife more often to make it sharper.
"Don't compare me with those soulless mortal swords!" Odachi was very unhappy: "Even if I don't take care of it, it's still as clean as a mirror and as sharp as any other!"
"Okay, okay" I sighed, put down the Odachi, and started to wipe Xilan's demon sword.
"Hey, I'm talking about you." Odachi's voice came to my ears again, still with a sense of arrogance: "Even if you don't need cleaning and maintenance, can't you just pretend to give me some psychological comfort?"
Grinning, I picked up the proud Odachi and began to wipe it.
The call from the Orc King came that night. He told me that Carter Horton's tone was still gloomy. It seemed that this suspicious monarch would not sincerely pray for the arrival of reinforcements unless he was forced to the end.
No matter what, Airui City belongs to him anyway, and the reinforcements belong to us. Before he puts down his posture and begs for our help, our first task is to help them resist the third wave of monsters as much as possible.
Block if you can, and run if you can't. Anyway, Carter Horton is confident of blocking the disaster, otherwise he wouldn't speak to the Orc King in a sinister tone.
