Chapter 314 Times Have Changed! Mysterious Flute Sound?

"Win!"

"Rhine! Win!!!"

As the shouts of the people of [Rhine City] gradually merged.

Xia En had some strange feelings in his mind.

It was as if there was an indescribable connection between him and the people below.

If you have to say it, this connection is somewhat similar to the "thread" when Kul and Ural prayed to the [Lord of the Rhine].

But there are obvious differences.

For example, this "thread" is more of a one-sided emotional transmission between the [Moon Song Clan] and the tree people.

Xia En could not peek into the perspectives of these people like he could sense the perspectives of Kul and Ural, nor could he transmit the [Void Secret Power].

Suddenly, Xia En had an epiphany in his heart and guessed secretly.

"Could it be that this is the so-called 'power of faith'?"

"The power of faith" is something that cannot be seen or touched, but in this world, it may really exist.

Maybe the [Hui Cult] and the [Yousui Cult] can both call on this power.

Although Xia En had deceived these two secret sects by disguising himself as a [Huijiao believer] and [Yousui heir], he himself had never truly believed in gods.

But now, he has become the object of faith of the people of [Rhine Secret Realm].

This feeling... is quite novel?

Without considering what this power does for the time being, Xia En looked at the people below who were full of fighting spirit and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Although it was just a pre-war mobilization on a whim, it seems that the effect is quite good now.

Moreover, Xia En vaguely realized that --

The people of [Rhine City] not only had their morale improved, but also seemed to have been blessed by an invisible force?

Perhaps this is because Xia En, as the [Lord of the Rhine], already carries the help of the [Secret Realm Will].

At this time, through his encouragement to the people of [Rhine City], he also shared this blessing or "luck" with them.

It was equivalent to giving all members a [morale boost] [luck increase] buff, which also gave them a few more chances of survival in the next battle.

At the same time.

The crew behind him also looked at Shane with surprise.

Although they had seen Shane giving orders on the ship, that was still within the normal range of a captain.

But now, standing on the wall of [Rhine City], feeling the worship and respect from the heart of the residents, everyone was inevitably shocked.

Joey opened her beautiful eyes wide, her eyes full of amazement.

"So, this is the treatment of the captain in [Rhine Secret Realm], just like a lord... oh no, like a king!"

When Feiya was in [Silver Moon Island] before, as the son of the governor, he also enjoyed a period of "noble" life.

However, the attitude of the residents of [Silver Moon Island] towards the governor and the support of the residents of [Rhine Secret Realm] for Shane are simply incomparable.

Because of this, Feiya understood the rarity and preciousness of this situation.

If such support and trust are passed down from generation to generation.

Then, the future [Rhine City] will undoubtedly become a reliable and powerful backup force for Shane!

Maybe by then, Shane can pull out a fully armed army anytime and anywhere.

Feiya felt a surge of emotion just by imagining such a situation.

However, the amazement and emotion of the crowd did not last too long.

Because at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly came from a distance.

Rumble——

Shane looked in the direction of the roar.

I saw a black line appeared on the ground in the distance, rushing towards [Rhine City].

The earth began to tremble, and a deep roar of beasts sounded in the distant forest.

The roar was like a tide, and there were probably at least thousands of ferocious beasts.

When they rushed out of the forest, they seemed to turn into a dark cloud, with a mighty momentum, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and a very strong sense of oppression.

Just looking at them, people feel breathless.

[Yongyue Clan] and the Treeman Clan watched this scene intently, holding their breath, as if facing a great enemy.

Xia En's face was also a little solemn.

In [Rhine Secret Realm], the strength of a single beast is actually very limited, and it is not terrible.

But when their numbers continue to stack up and charge together, the power can only be described as terrifying.

It's like the situation of hundreds or thousands of cavalry charging in the era of cold weapons. For the civilization of that era, it was simply an unstoppable torrent.

Personal power seems extremely small in front of such a beast tide.

I'm afraid only legendary strongmen have the ability to confront the beast tide alone.

Moreover, [Rhine City] has a fatal flaw.

That is...

The population is too small!

Even if newborns have been born in the [Rhine Secret Realm], the remaining babies cannot quickly become available combat forces.

Even with the characteristics of the [Yingyue Clan] where everyone is a soldier, excluding the elderly and children, there are only about 500 people who can be used as combat forces.

As for the number of tree people, it is even rarer.

At present, the number of ferocious beasts, just those that have entered the field of vision, is at least thousands.

It is conceivable that when the beast tide really approaches [Rhine City], how much pressure they will face.

Moreover, Xia En has a small wish in his heart.

He didn't want any of the people of the [Rhine Secret Realm] to die in this beast tide.

Even if this idea sounds unrealistic, how can you know if it can be done without trying?

Boom! Boom——

The speed of the black line seems slow, but it is actually amazingly fast.

In the blink of an eye, it pushed forward hundreds of meters.

As the beast tide approached, the vibration of the ground and the roar in the distance became clearer.

In the rolling smoke and dust, the open mouths, sharp teeth, and scarlet eyes of the beasts... were already vaguely visible.

Seeing such a scene, even the people of the Yongyue tribe who had been encouraged were a little scared.

"Gurgle..."

Some people couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and their throats were dry.

Although Xia En looked serious, his mind was always as calm as ice and snow.

Looking at the beasts in a violent state, he had a doubt in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, the creatures in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are generally docile, especially those herbivores - even the [Yongyue Tribe] can keep them in captivity without much domestication.

But now, they have shown their ferocious side and joined the beast tide.

Moreover, the arrival of this beast tide is full of doubts.

Even if these local beasts want to destroy [Rhine City], they will not hide like this first, and then swarm out after accumulating a certain number.

This series of abnormalities is just like... someone is controlling this beast tide.

Xia En's intuition tells him that there may be some key secrets hidden behind this.

But now is obviously not the time to think deeply about this problem.

Because the distance between the beast tide and [Rhine City] has shortened again.

Not to mention the ordinary Yongyue people, even Joey, Feiya and other battle-hardened crew members have revealed some nervous emotions.

Sha Jingjing bit her lip and asked in a low voice.

"Sir, do you want to..."

"It's not time yet."

Xia En waved his hand and said, "Wait until they are within the range of maximum killing."

"When the time comes, I will give the order."

Hearing this, Sha Jingjing's eyes lit up slightly, as if she had regained some confidence, and nodded heavily, "Yes."

Not only Sha Jingjing, but other members of the Yongyue tribe were also waiting for Xia En's order.

Because of this, Xia En was more patient.

If you want to achieve zero casualties, you have to do every detail to the extreme.

Not long after, Xia En waited for the arrival of the fighter.

Just when the dark beast tide was less than a hundred meters away from the first line of defense, Xia En's eyes burst into a brilliant light and ordered loudly.

"Fire!"

With Xia En's order, the Yongyue tribe members who had been prepared for a long time immediately took action vigorously.

On the city wall, heavy artillery began to load and ignite.

-These heavy artillery were naturally the equipment purchased by Xia En on [Liuli Island].

They generally look stupid, big, black and rough, and their accuracy can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but they are easy to operate, large in caliber and powerful enough!

They are just suitable for resisting the large-scale beast tide.

No shooting accuracy is needed, just violently bombard the beast tide.

It can be regarded as a targeted weapon purchased by Shane to deal with this crisis.

However, before the many clumsy artillery fired, beside Shane, a strange heavy artillery with purple gorgeous patterns was ready to go.

It was the enhanced [Magic Heavy Artillery]!

In order to deal with this beast tide, Shane temporarily dismantled it from the [Black Swan] and brought it to the [Rhine Secret Realm]!

At this moment, as the secret power continued to gather, the light in the muzzle of the heavy artillery became brighter and brighter.

Then...

Boom! ! !

A thick and strong beam of light poured out from the muzzle of the [Magic Heavy Artillery] and bombarded the beast tide at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

"Roar——"

The first tiger to bear the brunt of the attack only had time to let out an unwilling roar before it was completely melted by the surging light column.

Then, the energy light column did not dissipate, but continued to penetrate the bodies of dozens of beasts.

A gully hundreds of meters long and several meters deep was plowed on the ground, and the soil was charred black, even showing signs of melting under high temperatures.

Those beasts swallowed by the light, not to mention the corpses, not even a bit of bones were left.

Only a little bit of roasted meat remained in the air.

Such a brutal and terrifying shot naturally stopped the momentum of the beast tide.

Those beasts who brushed against death could not help but show a little bit of shrinking and fear.

However, the charge of the entire beast tide has been started, and it will not stop because of the pause of one or two strange beasts.

So much so that these beasts were trampled under the feet of their companions behind them because of a slight pause in their movements, and instantly turned into a ball of meat paste.

Seeing this terrifying beam of light that crossed the battlefield, the members of the [Yongyue Clan] couldn't help but cheer.

"The Holy Son has taken action!"

At the same time, the cannons on the walls of [Rhine City] began to roar in unison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The solid shells fell into the beast tide like a rainstorm, and the dust flew and the ground shook.

Every time a shell fell, at least two or three beasts died.

And the fragments of the shells would also cause considerable secondary damage to the nearby beasts.

For a while, roars, roars, and vibrations resounded throughout the battlefield outside [Rhine City].

Compared to the clash of cold weapons in the [Furnace Secret Realm], the war in the [Rhine Secret Realm] has clearly entered the era of hot weapons.

Of course, it was Shane's side that unilaterally entered the era of hot weapons.

Shane invested so many gold dragon coins, which naturally played a role at the critical moment.

In this round of bombardment alone, hundreds of alien beasts died on the spot, and countless alien beasts were injured.

In fact, those alien beasts injured by the shells would become obstacles to the beast tide because of pain and fear.

In fact, even the lighting of the light column and the roar of the shells themselves have caused a lot of panic in the beast tide.

After all, these indigenous creatures have been living in the [Rhine Secret Realm].

Not to mention shells, even gunpowder has never been seen.

Such weapons that make a loud noise and cause damage to the body will naturally terrify the beasts.

Seeing some signs of chaos in the beast tide, a touch of joy flashed in Shane's eyes.

As I said before, a few beasts alone are not scary. Only when they gather together will they pose a threat to [Rhine City].

Monsters, the times have changed!

But at this moment.

From the direction of the forest, a distant and desolate flute sounded again. The tune was strange and ancient, as if it came from a very long time ago.

And after the flute sounded, several beasts like skunks in the beast tide immediately had red eyes and sprayed a strange white smoke from their tails.

Where the white smoke spread, the monsters seemed to be in a state of frenzy.

Their breathing became heavy, their eyes were scarlet, their veins bulged, and their muscles were abnormally throbbing.

Fear and pain, all transformed into bloodthirsty instincts.

"Roar!!!"

"Awoo!!"

The next moment, many monsters roared again and charged at a faster speed than before.

It was as if the previous bombardment had never happened.

"What is this?!"

Seeing this scene, Shane frowned.

The flute sound just now was obviously not a sound that a wild beast could make. It was definitely the work of some intelligent creature.

Could it be that it was the indigenous residents of the [Rhine Secret Realm]?

If that was the case, wouldn't the flute sound just now mean that the indigenous people had the ability to control the local wild beasts?

Then, the source of this beast tide seemed to be about to come out.

However, compared to those longer-term things, it is more important to solve the crisis at hand.

Tsk!

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Without Xia En's reminder, Sha Jingjing beside him drew his longbow and shot at the skunk-like beasts.

However, as the white smoke spread, they had completed their mission.

And now, the beast tide, which was violent again, had already rushed into the first line of defense of [Rhine City]!
