Chapter 870 – King, the Egg is Broken

Naturally, Baiqi would not bother about the awkward situation that the Moroccan players were in. Seeing that most of the Guards Soldiers had surrendered, he ordered Shi Dakai to lead his troops into the palace and destroy the stone stele to deal the final blow.

When Shi Dakai received the order, a look of gratitude flashed through his eyes.

During this country war, Shi Dakai and his 5th legion had finally shown their worth, contributing greatly. All of this was a result of Baiqi’s planning.

Through this battle, Shi Dakai proved his commanding ability and had gained a stable footing in the Dragon Legion Corps.

Seeing the 5th legion enter the city, the Moroccan players naturally knew what the enemy wanted to do. Some players were unhappy and wanted to intercept them. However, without the help of the Guards army, they could not cause many problems.

In such a short while, thousands of players died.

This time, the Moroccan players came to their senses and lost all hope.

The country war had reached its final moments.

While Shi Dakai was leading his troops into the city, a change happened in the Satellite City.

Not too fast and not too slow, the elite group of the Golden Mercenary Guild finally stole the egg of the devil duckbeak beast and sneaked into the Satellite City.

Only the Divine Martial Guards were camped in the city, so the defenses were unavoidably a little weak. In a short while, the underground world was rioting.

‘CiCi~’

Along with a weird cry, all the devil duckbeak beasts rioted, swarming around and looking for the egg. Along the way, who knows how many innocent beasts died and lost their lives.

Even in the underground world, the devil duckbeak beast was one of the advanced beasts and was really strong.

When Dida and his elite group heard these sounds, they were delighted and felt the bliss of revenge in their hearts. They did not go far, hiding in a mysterious cave not far away from the entrance of the underground world.

As the Guardian Guild, the Golden Mercenary Guild had been running the Satellite City for a period of time, and this mysterious hiding spot was planned by them. Even the swarm of devil duckbeak beasts could not find it.

The even more amazing part was that they could clearly see the underground world entrance through a small hole in the cave and also using special tools. They wanted to personally witness the enemy troops being trampled by the beasts.

It took less than two hours before the beasts arrived close to the entrance; their speed was truly shocking. One must know that the small squad took a full night to steal the egg.

‘Ci~~Ci~’

Among the beast hoard, there was a giant beast that was over four meters long and weighed two tons. It let loose a massive roar. This beast was totally black and covered with tough scales, and its four limbs had sharp, hook-like claws. The weirdest part of it was its mouth, which was really wide and flattened. Its mouth looked like a mask placed on its body.

Without a doubt, this was the devil duckbeak beast boss. Although it looked like a platypus in real life, its body structure was largely different after evolving.

A real life one would shoot out a liquid when it attacked for self-defense. The liquid was not deadly to humans, but it would cause extreme pain that lasted for months and days.

In the game, Gaia strengthened this ability, making the liquid able to corrode armor.

The beast hoard did not stop at the entrance, directly chasing into the Satellite City through the stairs. In a short while, they appeared within the city.

It was currently noon, and the scorching sun torched the earth.

To the devil duckbeak beasts that lived in the underground world, the eye-piercing sunlight was really annoying, making them unable to open their eyes.

‘Ci~~Ci~’

The beasts roared out. At the same time, they used their duck beaks to search around. One must not look down on this beak. Although the beak was soft like leather, it was really sensitive like a radar scanner, and it was able to receive radio magnetic waves given out by other animals.

Even an egg could not escape the search of the devil duckbeak beast boss.

Very quickly, it had locked onto the egg’s position. The egg was less than two kilometers away from the entrance. Dida and the others stole the egg, but they did not dare to go too deep into the Satellite City as they were worried about being caught.

Hence, they randomly threw it into a courtyard before running back into the underground world.

‘Ci~~Ci~~’

The devil duckbeak beast boss gave out excited roars and ran toward the position. When the nearby beasts saw that, they followed.

At the same time, more and more devil duckbeak beasts swarmed out of the underground world.

In such a short while, the underground world entrance was filled with these black weird beasts. They were like a flood; they wrapped around the Satellite City, and it looked like they were about to drown the entire city.

Such a big commotion finally alerted the Divine Martial Guards.

“What’s happening?”

“Let’s go take a look!”

When the Divine Martial Guards saw the incoming rush of beasts, they could not help but take a deep breath. They were all experts and naturally noticed the strong auras spreading out from these ugly beasts.

In a one-on-one, a Divine Martial Guard might not even be able to deal with one of the beasts.

Looking out, the streets were filled with them, and there were probably no less than ten thousand. Their first reaction was not to wipe these beasts out but to retreat into the City Lord’s Manor.

Protecting the king was their most important mission.

In the City Lord’s Manor, Ouyang Shuo was shocked when he got the news. A while ago, he had just the received word that Mohammed the 6th had escaped.

In such a while, another change had actually occurred.

Ouyang Shuo got up and said to Xu Chu, “Let’s go see what’s happening.”

Xu Chu said, “King, shouldn’t we first inform Baiqi to ask him to send reinforcements?”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, “Let’s take a look first.” Ouyang Shuo knew that since Mohammed the 6th had run, Rabat was on the verge of being destroyed.

However, the expedition army needed to sweep the city, accept the surrenders, deal with the Moroccan players, and look after their people; they had many obligations.

To inform Baiqi now would probably send a bad signal to the Moroccan players and let them hold some hope in their hearts.

Hence, unless he had no other choice, Ouyang Shuo wished to handle this matter alone.

As for why the beast flood would appear here, it did not take a genius to know that they came from the underground world. From a long way out, Ouyang Shuo was able to smell a plot.

“I’ve been careless!”

Ouyang Shuo did not expect for a few random fishes in the underground world to cause such a huge problem.

Whilst he thought about that, Ouyang Shuo had already arrived outside of the manor, and he could hear the anxious noises of the beasts. Dida and the others were really vicious and had broken a hole in the egg.

Hence, the beast inside had no chance of surviving.

If not, how could they reach the goal of taking revenge against the Great Xia Dynasty? One could imagine that upon seeing the egg that it had spent so much effort to lay broken, the devil duckbeak beast boss would be incredibly furious.

The entire beast horde would go crazy and destroy the city.

The boss was a god beast subspecies and was already sentient. It knew that the egg was definitely stolen by a human. Since it came to the Satellite City, it was naturally going to take revenge for its dead child.

This time, the Divine Martial Guards were in deep trouble.

“Let’s go!”

Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate. He brought the Personal Guards to the area with the greatest intensity of battle. In less than a few minutes, he saw the giant boss and its numerous little subordinates.

“What a tough fellow!”

Ouyang Shuo frowned, as the number of beasts had exceeded his expectations.

“My king, let’s inform Commander Baiqi!” Xu Chu was a little worried.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, “Capture the king, did you see that giant beast? It’s definitely their king. As long as we tame or kill it, the others will not matter.”

“Understood, I’ll go give it a try.”

Xu Chu was a legendary general and really courageous. Since the king had given his orders, he was the first to rush up. The Divine Martial Guards followed suit; they were like a sharp knife stabbing into the hoard.

The Personal Guards remained to protect Ouyang Shuo.

In his recent sparring with the king, Xu Chu knew that the king’s combat strength was amazing, which was why he dared to leave the king’s side.

The devil duckbeak beast boss was still really furious about not finding a human to take revenge on. Who knew that Xu Chu would appear?

The four meter long boss clashed with Xu Chu, shaking the earth. If one looked out, one would think that it was a battle between two desolate beasts.

Although the Divine Martial Guards were not the opponents of the beasts in a one-on-one scenario, their combat strength would increase by a huge grade when they formed up.

Although the number of devil duckbeak beasts was many, the streets were narrow, and they could not put that numerical advantage to use. Large amounts of beasts were squeezing around doing nothing. There was a portion that was going around the city through the streets. Who knows where they were heading to?

Hence, both sides were at equal strength and victory was difficult to decide.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he took out his Tianmo Spear and said to the Personal Guards, “Let’s go help.” Ouyang Shuo had the thought of taming these beasts. Although they were not suitable for mounts, they would be good house protectors.

Ouyang Shuo had two reasons behind his confidence. First, he had great insight into the beast taming technique, and it would not be too hard to tame the boss.

Secondly, if there really was an emergency, Ouyang Shuo had the ability to save his life.

When he established the country, the Great Xia vassal that was located in Ouyang Shuo’s dantian gained its own incredibly strong skill, the Son of Heaven Dragon Fist.

With it, Ouyang Shuo could escape from any dangerous situation.

With one punch, even if the boss did not die, it would be badly hurt. The other devil duckbeak beasts would not be able to take the hit either.
