"If there were high-level monsters like the admiral mentioned, none of us would've been able to escape if it had made a move just now!"
"However, it didn't do that. Instead, it chose to hide in the forest and command the monsters. This shows one thing."
"That so-called high-level monster doesn't dare to appear in front of us, or rather, it has a reason not to appear."
Hearing Xu Mo's words, everyone present agreed.
Zeng Rong's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly as he spoke, "Not bad, not bad! That makes sense. That must be it!"
"If there actually were high-level ones, none of us would be able to escape. But now, we have hope!"
"I'll report to the higher-ups immediately and ask them to send someone over to find out the truth."
Xu Mo's words inspired Zeng Rong greatly, and his restless heart finally calmed down.
"Admiral, after you report this, will the alliance send people over to help us?"
Zhu Jian pulled himself away from the shock and asked the question in everyone's heart.
"Definitely. There are experts in the alliance who specialize in dealing with high-level monsters that appear outside the fortress. Have you heard of an Adjudicator?"
"Adjudicator?" Everyone, including Xu Mo, was at a loss.
"Yes, they are called Adjudicators. They specialize in dealing with high-level monsters. There are more than twenty of them in the alliance. Each Adjudicator has the strength of Diamond-rank or above."
"Above the Adjudicators, there was also the alliance's Twelve Spiritual Domain Master Generals, all of whom are supernatural beings. It's thanks to them guarding the alliance that we humans can survive until now."
"Twelve Spiritual Domain Master Generals?" Xu Mo's eyes lit up when he heard the unfamiliar names.
This was something that his predecessor did not have in his memories. Clearly, there were powerful existences in this world that even he did not know of.
"Admiral, the monsters have returned!"
The alarm on the city wall rang again. Zeng Rong's expression changed and he immediately gave the order.
"Everyone, take your positions. Quickly finish off this beast tide!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as Zeng Rong said that, an earth-shattering explosion came from the northwest wall.
Countless soldiers on the city wall fell to the ground.
Xu Mo, Zeng Rong, and the others jumped up and stood on the trembling city wall, looking into the distance.
In the end, what greeted their eyes was the collapsed smoke and dust from the northwest wall.
"How could that be?" The Ferocious Tiger Division was guarding the northwest side of the city wall. It was the strongest defense area. In the end, it became the first place the monsters had broken through. Zeng Rong could not help but cry out.
After the dust settled, a large group of monsters with sharp front claws appeared out of thin air near the crater below the city wall.
"It's the Red Refined Fire Ants!" Zeng Rong saw the monster and shouted again.
Despite his calculations, he had actually forgotten about these guys. These ants were sharp weapons for the beast tide. They were monsters that could attack the city wall from underground.
However, in the previous group of monsters, the Red Refined Fire Ants had never appeared in groups below the city wall like this. He didn't expect so many of them to come at once. No wonder the northwest city wall had collapsed.
Although the ants were not big, the venom they spat out was extremely corrosive. It was perfect for breaking down the walls.
"Die!"
Just as everyone was at a loss, a figure descended from the sky. A bolt of lightning wreaked havoc among the Red Refinement Red Fire Ants!
Everyone looked over and saw Xu Mo's figure standing in front of the collapsed city wall. He was standing alone with his halberd at the forefront.
"It's Xu Mo. Why did he go down alone?"
"Oh my god, so it's the new Lieutenant. Holy sh*t, he's so brave!"
"Bullshit, he's a 9-star Silver-ranked Inheritor. If he's not brave, then who is?"
"F*ck, didn't you say he was a recruit? That would mean he only inherited his bloodline recently!"
"He has a Star Glory bloodline. How can we compare to him who dared to face the Red Refined Fire Ants alone?"
*
As the people on the city wall discussed animatedly, the Red Refined Fire Ants launched a crazy attack on Xu Mo.
The latter's eyes were cold. He swiftly waved the Thunderous Flame Sky-Shaking Halberd in his hand. The ants couldn't land a scratch on his body at all. Instead, many of them died from his attacks.
At this moment, notifications kept ringing in his mind, the halberd's experience bar increasing rapidly.
No one noticed that after beheading many Red Refinement Fire Ants using the halberd, there wasn't a single piece of flesh or blood on the halberd's body.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, a scarlet liquid shot toward Xu Mo out of thin air.
He had just chopped off one of the ants' heads when he saw the sudden unknown liquid. Seeing this, he casually waved his hand and set off strong wind, blowing the liquid into pieces from the gale.
The liquid landed and scattered on the ground. Instantly, the dust on the ground emitted a series of sizzling sounds.
In the blink of an eye, the ground corroded, making a hole the size of a human head!
Xu Mo's eyes narrowed as he saw the Red Refined Fire Ants in front of him splitting to two sides. A Red Refined Fire Ant that was more than four meters long and more than two meters tall appeared in front of him.
It was the leader of the ants, the Red Refined Fire Ant Queen!
Xu Mo's sharp senses detected the Gold-rank pressure coming from the ant opposite him.
However, he noticed that the Red Refined Fire Ant Queen's aura wasn't quite right. It seemed like it had just broken through.
If the opponent was a 1-star Gold-ranked Red Refined Fire Ant or above, Xu Mo would have turned around and run without saying a word.
He was only a 9-star Silver rank now. Fighting a Gold-ranked monster head-on was no different from courting death!
However, if it was a Gold-ranked monster that had just broken through, he would still have a chance to kill it while its aura was still unstable and it had yet to master its strength level.
At the thought of this, Xu Mo didn't overthink and went straight up to fight it.
On the battlefield, a person shouldn't let their imagination run wild. When facing a strong enemy, they should only press forward. Otherwise, being overly cautious would only render them timid and afraid to attack the opponent.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Continuous streams of red liquid shot toward Xu Mo. His figure swayed as the halberd in his hand waved repeatedly to avoid the toxic liquid.
"Hmm?" Xu Mo noticed that the Red Refined Fire Ant Queen had concealed itself among the other Red Refined Fire Ants after shooting venom at him one after another. He couldn't help but be shocked.
So even a Gold-ranked monster has intelligence? Being able to identify danger and knowing how to dodge, this was interesting.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Thunderous Flame Sky-Shaking Halberd has broken through its current grade and leveled up. It has obtained an additional skill: Sea Overturning!]
Xu Mo, who had just killed a Red Refined Fire Ant, was stunned by the system's reminder and was overjoyed by this news.
This notification came just in time. He wanted to see the prowess of the Thunderous Flame Sky-Shaking Halberd's new skill!
"Sea Overturning!"
Following Xu Mo's thought, the halberd swung forward.
"Roar!"
A roar that sounded like a monster from primitive times boomed in the air.
The world changed color as a surging wave of air shot toward the Red Refined Fire Ants in front of Xu Mo.
