C308 The Appearance of the Fire Drake
"Let's go, you still have a long way to go!" Lu Yang felt that the current Huo Qiang was still too young, maybe he would truly mature and become his right hand man in the future.
"Understood, Master!" Hearing Lu Yang's words, Huo Qiang seemed to have understood something.
Indeed, his master's strength was too strong, and just based on his current ability, it was all given to him by his master. So, if he wanted to help his master, he could only try his best to make himself stronger.
After Lu Yang and Huo Qiang returned to the Huo Residence to rest, they rushed to the City Lord's Mansion Residence to report.
The purpose of the twenty thousand elite soldiers and ferocious beast army fighting face to face today, was to provide Lu Yang and the others with more reliable fighting spirit. If Lu Yang really did achieve good results in this battle, then in the future, he would be able to properly increase their strength and even give them some benefits so that they could play a greater role.
However, today's City Lord's Mansion was not about these, but about the war taxes.
"Everyone, you must have your own thoughts regarding the berserk beast army attacking our Luoyang City. However, I'm afraid none of you know that just yesterday, more than seven hundred Yellow Grade Crystal Stone were being exhausted from just half a day of work, and the number is still increasing."
"It can be said that this number is definitely not the final number. Even as the war goes on, this number is still constantly increasing." The more Huo Zhenqian said, the more excited he became.
Because in his opinion, the current crisis in Luoyang City had already far exceeded his expectations. It was not even certain that he would be able to defend against it this time, and he should be able to take out all of his lightning-related methods.
"Hahaha, Mayor, you are really interesting. If you want to increase taxes, then just say so. Why are you being so secretive?" Hearing Huo Zhenqian's words, the Patriarch of Lu Family said with disdain.
"Patriarch Lu, saying this is a bit inappropriate. I am the City Lord, but this does not mean that I am capable of producing Yellow Grade Crystal Stone. As for the war, you should be clear about this too. If the Luoyang City were to fall, everyone would not be able to get away with it. Huo Zhenqian looked at the Patriarch of Lu Family, and said impatiently.
"Huo Zhenqian, you really dare to speak to this old man. Do you really think that you, as the City Lord, are comfortable?" Furthermore, he had the qualifications to be so proud. In fact, even in terms of Zhu Family, their Lu Family was not inferior to him. Now that Huo Zhenqian dared to question him, the Lu Family Patriarch's face dropped.
"Inappropriate? Hahaha, what's wrong with that? What a joke! " Huo Zhenqian had already lost all patience for these big families, he immediately pushed them back, "Patriarch Lu, now that we are facing a great enemy, do you think you have any leeway left to bargain? This matter was decided then and there. After all, Luoyang City was everyone's, and it was already very fair that no clan should bear the burden on their own. Now send out my decree. "
Although Huo Zhenqian had many shortcomings, there was one thing that he had done very well. That was, no matter what it was, he would do it very carefully, very early, to the point that he had a complete inventory of all the powers and details given to him by the people.
"What, he calculated all the forces and families in the Luoyang City, including some families that were extremely low-key in their actions, and they were also investigated thoroughly by him. Moreover, the distribution of the war taxes was also very reasonable. Initially, the Patriarch of the Lu Family was still against Huo Zhenqian's actions, but after seeing how much Huo Zhenqian had sacrificed, he also started to admire him.
As a result, she took the lead and supported it. As for the other families, the gangs also hesitated a little, but after the first large clan stood forward to support it, very quickly everyone agreed to what Huo Zhenqian had done. At least, on the surface, they did not oppose it.
Next, it was time for human army and the army of vicious beasts to fight.
"Report!" The army of ferocious beasts has already surrounded the Luoyang City, and the northern gate has even gathered thirty thousand strong beasts, of which the number of Yellow Grade Vicious Beast is already over ninety. A Yellow Grade Beast-controlling Master hurriedly ran over from the top of the city gate and reported.
"According to my previous plan, now is the time for all of you to perform meritorious deeds and kill the enemy. Everyone take your positions and be on standby, ready to fight a beautiful counterattack!" The more Huo Zhenqian thought about it, the more he felt that the plan to ambush them was feasible.
At the same time, the Yellow Grade Crystal Stone s were being moved by some normal people, and a hundred of them were being inserted into the formation. With regards to Luoyang City, this battle had determined the morale of all the troops in Luoyang City, and required a beautiful somersault, otherwise, it would have been suppressed by the army of ferocious beasts from the very beginning.
"Kill!" Following Huo Zhenqian's command and the powerful input of the Luoyang City formation, the human army was like a sharp blade that tore apart the first layer of defenses set up by the vicious beasts' army, and they entered the interior of the vicious beasts' army to madly slaughter each other.
Just at this time, Lu Yang brought his people and left the Luoyang City through an incredibly secretive small path.
Their group of twenty odd Yellow Grade Beast-controlling Master s followed Lu Yang and left the city gate, and entered the army of fierce beasts.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Most of the fierce beasts at the outermost area were low level Middle Level Vicious Beast s, and even the High Level Vicious Beast s were extremely rare, so when the twenty odd people appeared, they were like tigers in a flock of sheep, unstoppable!
With a burst of killing, more and more berserk beasts were killed by the team. However, they had only killed normal Vicious Beasts after all, and their goal was to kill as many Yellow Grade Vicious Beast as possible.
"Break through from here!" In front of the Yellow Grade Beast-controlling Master, even if there were a large number of ordinary fierce beasts, they would still not pose a threat to them. This feeling was akin to that of a giant standing in an ant nest. As long as the ants did not reach the limit in numbers, Giant would not feel any pain, not to mention that the huge heat was not without his methods.
"There's a Yellow Grade Vicious Beast over there. We'll surround it and kill it as much as possible! Zhu Xiaotian, I will bring a group of people, and you bring a team to outflank them! " Lu Yang granted enough trust to Zhu Xiaotian, which moved him quite a bit.
Afterwards, their company of people rushed up to the Yellow Grade Vicious Beast at an extremely fast speed. The Yellow Grade Vicious Beast was surrounded by two teams before it could even react. In less than ten breaths of time, the Yellow Grade Vicious Beast had been killed.
Without the Yellow Grade Vicious Beast's command, the originally chaotic army of vicious beasts became even more chaotic.
"Alright, let's continue looking for the next piece of Yellow Grade Vicious Beast." Seeing that his thoughts were already starting to bear fruit, Lu Yang began to search for the next Yellow Grade Vicious Beast.
In less than two hours, their surprise attack team had already killed seven to eight Yellow Grade Vicious Beast. This kind of result was comparable to the result of two armies of ten thousand men.
Because in these two hours, Huo Zhenqian had only killed eight Yellow Grade Vicious Beast and he himself had sacrificed four Yellow Grade Beast-controlling Master s. It could be said that he had suffered heavy losses.
Just at this moment, the Profound Grade Vicious Beast and Furious Fire Flood Dragon that had been guarding the vicious beast army at the back the entire time finally appeared.
"Hu!"
Following that, an earth-shattering flame spewed out from its mouth, and like a giant flaming hand, it cleared up everything in front of it in an instant.
Several hundred Human Clan soldiers instantly turned into ashes. This time around, Human Beast-controlling Master had lost four, False Yellow Grade Beast-controlling Master had lost nine, and High Level Beast-controlling Master had lost even more than a few hundred. In an instant, the number of casualties in the Human Clan had increased by several fold.
At the same time, a large number of Yellow Grade Beast-controlling Master were also shocked by this Profound Ranked Flood Dragon and continued to push forward from the back of the army.
Although they admitted that they had been caught unprepared by the appearance of the Xuan grade Flood Dragon, if they had been given a bit more time, the result wouldn't have been much better.
