Chapter 112 - The Reinforcements Arrived
The Crown Prince was not the only one observing the situation in Glory City.
The surrounding cities were also monitoring Glory City’s every move.
If there were any movements, they would immediately know.
The once unpopular Eighteenth Prince might very well change the situation of the Wu Kingdom!
The forces on the Crown Prince’s side did not want Glory City to win, while the other forces prayed that Glory City would hold on.
As time passed, Glory City’s fighting strength continued to decline.
It seemed that they were about to lose.
From the start of the beast tide until now, Glory City had already held on for more than three hours.
In the eyes of everyone, this could already be considered a miracle!
Even though they lost, it was still glorious.
At the same time, they had to admit that He Chuan was outstanding enough.
If they were the City Lord, Glory City would no longer exist after the second wave, let alone the last three hours of resistance.
Now that Glory City was about to be broken through, the Crown Prince’s forces heaved a sigh of relief.
The other forces felt pity for Glory City.
The third wave was too terrifying. If Glory City could really withstand it, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was a miracle.
The various forces thought that the dust had settled.
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose from behind the beast tide.
A group of elite soldiers dressed in red armor with a skull mask on their faces appeared.
There were a total of thirty thousand of them, and they were all awakened!
The red and white flags fluttered in the wind, with the big “Xu” character written on them!
“All troops, listen up! Charge!” Huang Hu was dressed in golden armor, and the sword in his hand slashed down toward the void!
Su Wan did not forget the agreement. After repelling the invading Yan Kingdom, she sent Huang Hu, the Marshal, to bring the elites of the Xu Kingdom to assist in the battle!
The strength of the entire country was indeed extraordinary!
With the addition of the elite troops, the battle situation was instantly reversed!
“Brothers! The reinforcements have arrived!” He Chuan’s face broke into a smile. Although there were not many soldiers around him, the defensive line had already been secured.
Before anyone could react, a few unknown powers appeared not too far away.
The soldiers were dressed in armor, but they did not have any flags or emblems.
They were the reinforcements that Xu Ke had invited with his silver tongue. These forces did not dare to offend the Crown Prince in public, so they could only appear in private.
Regardless of whether Glory City won or lost, the Crown Prince would not be able to find any evidence.
What shocked everyone was still to come.
A group of people dressed in hemp clothes rushed out from Glory City, holding all kinds of “strange” weapons.
They brandished hoes, iron rods, and some people picked up the blood-stained weapons on the ground.
Their identities were also revealed. They were the citizens of Glory City.
Facing the crazy beast tide, the ordinary citizens actually came to participate?
Was this a battle that they could participate in?
The young people all responded to the call and became soldiers of Glory City, fighting for the city’s defense. The remaining people were mostly the old, weak, and disabled.
This group of people came out with hoes and iron rods to kill strange beasts.
Had they gone mad?
It was an extremely irrational move. It was better to stay behind obediently. It was better than giving up their lives for nothing.
The soldiers at the front line saw the civilians coming out to fight for their lives. They couldn’t remember anything else, so they quickly persuaded them to return.
The civilians who climbed up the city wall looked at the corpses of strange beasts all over the ground, with the corpses of soldiers in the middle.
Arms and legs were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
Seeing such a bloody scene, some people directly vomited.
But they didn’t retreat. Instead, they were filled with anger.
“Charge! Kill these beasts!”
No one knew who was leading the charge, but the civilians charged at the strange beasts.
The hoes and iron rods couldn’t break through the defense, so they surrounded one of them.
They dug its eyes out and bit its throat, using all sorts of methods to attack.
The strange beasts might be able to kill one or two civilians, but facing the continuous stream of civilians, they could only die on the spot.
Humans were the ancestors of the wave attack strategy!
The tragic scene shocked all the factions.
These civilians were even more violent and bloodthirsty than strange beasts.
What a terrifying madman!
Taking the initiative to fight with mutated beasts with a mortal body was simply unheard of!
He Chuan retreated from the front. He knew that he couldn’t persuade these commoners, so he could only try his best to protect them.
When the reinforcements broke through the beast tide, Glory City would win.
Seeing the reinforcements arrive, a smile appeared on Lin Cheng’s face.
At the same time, his entire body was filled with strength.
“Everyone, listen up. Activate the magic array and cover the reinforcements!”
“Shield soldiers, retreat and support the civilians in the city.”
“Archers, another wave of arrows. Shoot these bastards!”
“Prepare the next magic crystal cannon as soon as possible!”
All sorts of orders continued to be issued. Lincheng first had to ensure that the reinforcements could successfully approach!
He had to protect the crystal cores of Glory City!
Otherwise, the entire Glory City would instantly turn into ruins.
At that time, all efforts would be ruined.
Therefore, the defensive line must not be broken through!
The soldiers and the common people gathered together to resist the strange beasts.
The united will formed a city, and the body of flesh and blood was cast into a steel defensive line!
The eyes were red!
The city walls were red!
The rain was red!
The entire sky was dyed blood-red!
Glory City, which was under the assault of the strange beasts, was dyed red!
He Chuan’s silver-moon-colored clothes were dyed dark red. His arms were even trembling slightly.
He couldn’t remember how many times he waved the knife in his hand.
He didn’t even bother to look at the fallen strange beasts because he was already numb from killing them!
However, he knew that this wasn’t the time to rest. After winning the battle, he had plenty of time to rest.
The situation didn’t allow him to rest either.
At the southern city gate, Xu Kingdom’s reinforcements had already closed in, and groups of strange beasts had fallen.
Lin Ya hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened and the magic array to be removed at the same time.
When Huang Hu led 30,000 elite soldiers into the city and looked at the charred corpses on the ground, they could not help but be shocked.
The tall city walls seemed to be in a mess, but in fact, there were hidden secrets.
Huang Hu was experienced in hundreds of battles and instantly understood the intention.
He raised his head and saw Lin Ya’s young and weak face. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. If only this girl was from the Xu Kingdom.
As a woman, she didn’t lose to a man.

“Everyone, listen up! Climb to the top of the city wall and do your best to protect the defense line of Glory City. Don’t retreat!” Huang Hu didn’t have time to continue being shocked because Glory City hadn’t won the final victory yet.
After receiving the order, the elite soldiers of the Xu Kingdom quickly climbed to the top of the city wall and helped the soldiers of Glory City to fight together.
The pressure on all parts of Glory City suddenly decreased!
“Damn it! The Xu Kingdom actually showed up at the critical moment!” The Crown Prince’s face was even gloomier than the weather. The victory of the beast tide was just in sight, and it was about to break through the defense line of Glory City.
The matter had already been settled.
Who knew that the appearance of the Xu Kingdom and a few unknown forces could turn the tables instantly!
“Your Highness, regardless of whether Glory City can win, as long as my final plan can be carried out smoothly, even if the Eighteenth Prince guards the Glory City, he won’t be able to overturn the situation!” The military counselor advised calmly.
Since the crown prince had already agreed to kill his father and usurp the throne, why should he care about Glory City?
“You’re right, quickly send someone to prepare. No! I have to make two preparations. If Father Emperor doesn’t drink it, you know what to do!” The Crown Prince extended his thumb and made a killing gesture at his neck.
“I understand. Please wait for the good news, Crown Prince!” The military advisor slowly retreated from the room!
“He Chuan! Even if you have the ability to reach the heavens, you are still no match for me!” The Crown Prince threw the magic mirror on the ground and stopped watching the battle in Glory City!
