Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Beast Tide

Leon's face was grave, every beast tide would cause great losses, and as far as Leon could remember, it wasn't unheard of for cities to be wiped out due to beast tides.

"Let's go, go check the situation."

Leon climbed up the city wall, Joel was already there long ago, looking out into the distance.

A puff of dust rose from the distant horizon, and upon closer inspection, it was a large group of speeding magical beasts.

At the forefront, was a group of ferocious green-skinned kobolds, if it was just one or two, no one would give it a second thought, but with such a large group of them, even high level adventurers would find it tricky.

Following them are some low-ranked dragons. Domesticated dragons are quite a practical means of transportation, and many aristocrats like to use them as a substitute for horses. The wild geoducks, on the other hand, were violent and difficult to tame.

Further back, there was a group of ogres, two-headed giants, and lowly chimeras.

The faces of the soldiers on the city walls were a little pale, they saw quite a few fourth-ranked existences in that group of magical beasts.

There was no way for an unusual person to deal with this level of magical beasts.

Leon's heart was also a bit bottomless.

However, he wasn't worried about Lech City being overrun, at least Hurlan was in the city, if this seventh-ranked Necromancer was willing to make a move, he would easily be able to dissolve this beast tide.

But whether Hurlan would make a move or not was still unknown, after all, he wasn't from Lech City. He could only be used as a final card, and it was still up to them to resolve the crisis.

But there was one more person that could come in handy.

"Ms. Enishi, I may have to trouble you this time."

Leon naturally called on this fifth-ranked mage.

"Hm? Mr. Leon, what are you talking about?" Enishi's eyes fluttered, wondering when she had revealed her identity.

Leon only covered his head with his hand, "You came with such a big bag of magic materials, that staff is exposed, anyone can tell you're a mage."

"Huh? Is that so? But Xina doesn't believe me at all."

"Yes. I can't imagine what exactly a mage would have to do to be reduced to working as a barmaid."

"I can't help it either! Coming out for the first time and having my space ring stolen, what else can I do!" Enishi looked rather aggrieved.

Although Enishi was powerful, she was no different from a child when it came to dealing with people.

"Alright, Miss Ainihi." Leon continued, "I'll explain it to Xina properly, show your strength. Moreover, Miss Ainihi, you don't want to lose the job you just found, right?"

Enishi said helplessly, "Well ... let's give you a hand just because you're not a bad person."

She was also really embarrassed to rely on Leon's house all day for nothing.

In the crowd's shocked gazes, Enishi leapt down from the towering walls.

Then, a green light was lit up, and a low-level Hurricane spell was instantly cast, and under the support of the hurricane Enihi landed firmly on the ground.

Leon's eyes lit up, since he came to this world, it was the first time he actually saw a powerful mage strike, even a simple low level spell could play an unexpected role in Ainish's hands.

"Coalesce, destroy, reorganize, the truth of destruction, the collapse of which no one can match, the Moro all shall be returned to dust, the eternal source of chaos, descending from the void, by the order of my Ainish, destroy everything in front of me! Storm of Destruction!"

With the chanting of Enishi's incantation, terrifying magic power gathered around her, and then, a huge magic formation appeared in front of her, and a violent storm of magic power poured out.

"Boom--"

The storm of destruction instantly ravaged through the group of magical beasts, the magical beasts below the fourth rank slightly brushed against it was a corpse without bones, the fourth rank magical beasts were also blood and flesh flying when they were affected by the waves.

The group of magical beasts were actually directly blown apart by Enishi's magic, killing and injuring a large number of them.

"What a terrifying power, if we only talk about the killing power, I'm afraid that it's more powerful than quite a few sixth rank magic." Leon was considered to have thoroughly comprehended the amazing power of destruction magic.

However, this move of magic was obviously used to harvest against a group in order to exert such an effect.

A cheer went up from the city walls.

Joel looked at Enishi below, and was quite surprised in his gaze, never imagining that such a young maiden would be able to unleash such a wide range of destructive magic.

And she would actually obediently follow her son Leon's orders.

A smile appeared at the corner of Joel's mouth, the recent Leon had really brought him too many surprises, he was already able to stand alone.

In the distance, the collapsed group of magical beasts once again began to gather.

Enihi harnessed her Hurricane Technique to return to the city walls.

Enihi spoke, "Something is wrong, if it was an unusual beast tide, it wouldn't have this kind of organization and discipline at all, it should have started to escape by now."

Leon nodded, he noticed this as well.

The Wraith swarm soon arrived under the city gates.

"Fire!"

Joel commanded the city guard, and the magic crystal cannons continuously roared. The power of these magic crystal cannons wasn't small, but it was a little less interesting compared to Enishi's earlier magic shot.

Even so, every time the barrels of the cannons roared, what was shot out was a bag of gold coins.

Those magical beasts didn't have instruments for siege, though, and there were a few kobolds that cut through the line of fire covering them, hacking at the thick, sturdy gates with broken and rusty axes that couldn't even make a single mark.

Instead of coming to attack the city, they came to die.

The powerful ogres and giants, on the other hand, would be focused on by the firepower, and it was impossible to let them near the city gates.

Soon, corpses littered the outside of the city gates, blood of various colors mixing together as the wave of beasts were all annihilated.

The soldiers on the city walls once again erupted into cheers, it was a miracle that they basically had no casualties in the face of this beast tide.

"Too strange." Leon muttered, "The scale of this beast tide is not large, there is no possibility of breaking through Lech City, but these magical beasts are still relentless."

"Those fourth-ranked magical beasts weren't this stupid before." Joel slowly spoke.

Yes, in Leon's memory, compared to the previous beast tide, this time those fourth-ranked magical beasts were quite out of place, and actually went straight up like a target, taking their bodies to hard defy the magic crystal cannons, which was undoubtedly quite a stupid behavior.

This time the beast tide, more like being specially organized, came to give away for nothing.

A moment later.

The city gate slowly opened, a group of soldiers came out to clean up the corpses of these magical beasts.

Although it is very dirty and stinky, but the soldiers are talking and laughing, this is a good job for individuals to compete for, the complete magic crystals of those magical beasts need to be surrendered, but those broken magic crystals can be left by themselves, that is also a considerable amount of income.
