Chapter 615

With the terrifying adaptability of those monsters, the Korchu Mountains to the west could not stop them at all. No wonder they suddenly disappeared in the Dawn Continent a few days ago. They had quietly crossed the natural barrier in the west of Bai Crow City and quietly entered the northern border. The Halsta and Link Village at the foot of the mountain had lost contact. Forty miles for those monsters in just a blink of an eye. In other words, from now on, they may appear outside Bai Crow City at any time.

Warren realized the seriousness of the problem and made a quick decision, and ordered Hollins, "Close the city gate immediately and everyone is forbidden to enter and exit."

The commander's heart sank, "What should I do if the two cavalry squads in the south and the villages and scouts in the west?"

"Give them orders to avoid going back to Baichao City and evacuate directly to the east to Fengxi Fort seventy miles away." Warren's voice was a little cold.

"This..." The commander opened his mouth and hesitated. It was plains all the way from Bai Crow City to Fengxi Castle. It was difficult to run past the monsters from the abyss even if they rode horses. Not to mention those walking people, leaving the castle without the protection of the walls, it would be good if one of these ten people survived. Warren's order was equivalent to abandoning these people.

The sheriff Hollins knew it was powerful and had issued an order to close the city gate as soon as possible. However, another accident occurred during the execution. At this time, at least five thousand people had gathered at the city gate to get out of the city. A carriage that pulled the cart was overturned, and the carriage was scattered all over the ground, blocking the way. People in the city could not get out, and people outside the city could not get in.

Hollins was in a hurry and directed the guards to help maintain order and clear the blockages. At this time, a scream came from the woods not far away. Then he saw two blood-covered people staggering out from the inside, scratching and grabbing their bodies while running, his face full of horror.

The sheriff had already recognized one of them as the scout he sent to the south, and was also a brave man in the army. However, his performance now is very different from the past. Not only did he lose his war horse, but he even had no idea where the sword and armor he had been carrying with him had been thrown away. He was just running for his life and there was no way he looked like a military soldier.

At this moment, the two of them were only half a mile away from the gate of Baiya City. Seeing that they could rush over, the commander was still considering whether to send people to pick them up. They might be able to ask what happened in the villages in the west from their mouths.

As a result, the next moment, the scout running in the front softened his feet and fell to the ground. Only then did everyone realize that there was a creature lying on his back. The thing looked like a monkey, but an ordinary monkey had to be smaller. There was a scorpion's tail behind him. The tail was deeply inserted into the scout's spine, sucking the bone marrow inside. The latter seemed to have used up his last trace of strength and did not stand up after falling down.

"Monkey Scorpion." Some scholars recognized the little monster, and their expression changed drastically. Monkey Scorpion feeds on bone marrow. The combat power of a single person is not too strong, only at the second level. However, groups of monkey scorpions are a disaster even in the abyss. They are not afraid of death and cooperate with tacit understanding to hunt with wolf pack tactics. The tail needle behind the butt can easily penetrate the bones of the prey. Once they are sucked by these little monsters, they will not leave without sucking the bone marrow. In this process, the prey will be extremely painful.

Therefore, in the abyss, no one is willing to provoke these little things except a few monsters.

The monkey and scorpion shook their tails with unsatisfactory intentions, and soon rushed to the second person. The guy should have been just a villager in the nearby village. He showed even more unbearable and did not even have the courage to resist. He was scared to the ground and could only let out a shrill scream.

Seeing this terrifying scene, all the people nearby were stunned. After that, those who had already left the city began to squeeze into the city like crazy, and those who were about to leave the city were also retreating desperately. Although the guards were still trying to perform their duties and maintain order, it was useless. Most ordinary people lost their minds in the face of death. The crowd screamed and squeezed into a ball, blocking the city gate that was not wide. The people behind were constantly pushing the people in front, and some people fell in the crowd and could no longer stand up.

Warren pulled Hollins' collar and shouted, "Close the door, are you deaf? Close the door!"

If the rumors are true, Baiyao City will face an army of monsters, with a preliminary estimate of about 4,000. The city defenders, militia and all the forces that can fight are only less than 2,000. All they can rely on is the solid city wall under their feet.

Warren is from the military and is not good at economic development, but he still attaches great importance to defense. During his time as the city lord, he allocated money to strengthen the city wall almost every year. Because there was no war in the Dawn Continent for a long time, many people criticized this. He is really unhappy now that he made the decision under pressure. If it weren't for this city wall, tens of thousands of people in the city would probably not be able to escape death this time.

What he has to do now is to close the city gate before the monsters arrive. In this situation, once the war begins, Warren has no extra staff to take into account the situation of the city. As long as a monster sneaks in, it will be fatal to the remaining residents of the city. Therefore, Warren coldly asked Hollins to close the door quickly.

The latter also reacted at this time, knowing that it was the moment of life and death, and if the city gate could not fall down, Baiya City would not be able to hold on for a day. The fat sheriff gritted his teeth and shouted, "There are all guards, retreat and open the magic circle under the city!"

This magic circle was originally prepared for the invaders. After opening it, it shot dozens of wind blades from the city wall. These wind blades fell on the dense crowd and the damage was amazing. However, in just one breath, at least a hundred civilians had different bodies and heads. The blood sprinkled out dyed the land under their feet red. After the wind blade passed, the city gate turned into a slaughterhouse, with broken limbs and wailing everywhere.

The vast majority of the people could not believe what was happening in front of them. The city's defenders suddenly attacked and massacred innocent civilians. When they realized that some people were shocked by the cruel scene, they finally began to flee in the opposite direction. Hollins looked at the scattered civilians and felt a little reluctant.

These people don’t know how many monsters came this time, and they are almost impossible to survive now. However, if they are reluctant to leave these two or three thousand civilians, the entire White Crow City will be buried with them. Hollins has not yet truly known his own corps until today. Warren is a man who has been trained in the army. He is decisive in killing and will execute without hesitation once he makes a decision.

The guard team took this opportunity to arrive at the city gate, which now has a clear no-man's area. The guard team assigned some people to warn of the monkey and scorpion outside the city, while the other party seized the time to clear the body and debris. Seven minutes later, the gate fell, and Bai Crow City temporarily passed the first round of crisis.
