Chapter 241: Start of the Invasion
Katata continued to speak, "An Earth Saint Master are separated evenly between the cycles. A First Cycle Earth Saint Master is as far away from a Sixth Cycle as a Saint Master is from a Peak Great Saint Master. There is no chance of victory for the Saint Master, and even if my brother and I were to join hands, we both are only at the Second Cycle level. If we were to join hands, then we would be able to fight against a Third Cycle Earth Saint Master, but against a Fourth Cycle Earth Saint Master, then there is no chance. After all this, but our opponent is also a Magical Beast."
Hearing Katata's explanations, Jian Chen couldn't help but be extremely serious. With this, he had finally understood just how wide the differences were between each cycle of an Earth Saint Master. A First Cycle Earth Saint Master was to a Saint Master as was a Sixth Cycle Earth Saint Master was to a Peak Great Saint Master. At this moment, Jian Chen couldn't help but be anxious as he thought about Wake City's chances of surviving the wave now.
Although Wake City wasn't his home and had no feelings of it, Jian Chen had no desire to see the entire population of a city succumb to a magical beast invasion.
Wake City's gates had long since closed and the traveling merchants still on the road had been notified of the magical beast wave long ago. So they had all taken a lengthy detour around Wake City's vicinity before taking shelter in a nearby city and waited for the wave to be over before continuing on with their travels.
Far away, the dense crowd of magical beasts continued to stamp in a slow trail toward Wake City. Aside from the heavy stomps of their feet, not a single roar could be heard, and from the looks of it, it seemed as if these magical beasts were just soldiers practicing a drill.
"Hou!"
Suddenly, the gigantic roar of a magical beast came reverberating from the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Its roar was so loud that even the stones on top of the gates started trembling from the sound.
This sudden roar had jolted the tens of thousands of magical beasts whose eyes suddenly grew fearful. Immediately, the magical beasts suddenly stopped where they stood in unison five kilometers away from the city walls.
Looking at the crowd of magical beasts stop right in front of the city walls almost, Katata let out a breath of air. "This hidden Class 5 Magical Beast is very intelligent. It has fought against humanity multiple times and knows how our Magical Crystal Cannons work. At this distance, the magical beasts are just outside the range of our Magical Crystal Cannons."
Katata immediately looked to his still silent brother Katafei, "Katafei, our opponent is far stronger than what we thought. By now, it is too late for Monarch City to send anymore reinforcements, so it is up to us to defend the city behind us."
Katafei nodded his head without a single break in his expression. His eyes still pointed far ahead as if he were trying to find the Class 5 Magical Beast. Ever since the garden, he had only spoke a single phrase.
"Throw down the armored wall!"
Suddenly at Yun Li's command, a large sheet of steel plating suddenly dropped down from the city walls and fully covered the entire city. From far away, it looked as if Wake City had been fully encased by a steel plating.
This steel plating was a meter thick and were connected to one another by a steel chain. With each steel plating being so thick, it would be able to repel a Class 3 Magical Beast with no problem.
Seeing how the steel platings were descending down from the walls, Jian Chen couldn't help but sigh in admiration. With a steel plating like the one right in front of him, then the defenses would be extraordinarily strong and could withstand a large amount of force for some time. This truly was another example of how Wake City's defenses could be said to be on par with a First Class City.
