BXBX NOVEL Chapter 104 Hopeless Situation
Getting over the fact that he had brought about a beast tide on Ukota town, Seth's mind went back to being baffled at the fact that he was back at Lukta forest.
It was one thing for him to come to Lukta forest during his hunger rampage, but what were the chances that he would come back to the same forest during his blood rampage.
Currently, the tiger was standing on a cliff which gave it an elevated view of Ukota town and put it some meters above some trees in the forest, giving Seth an overlook of the wide and almost never ending forest behind him.
Seth stared at Lukta forest in confusion as he wondered about its mysteries, during his last visit, he had found out that this particular forest housed only a single rank 7 beast, but in the end, the rank 8 beast, mama slowly had popped out from the same forest and almost ended his life, and now here he was again having and he had just seen the skeleton of a freshly killed rank 9 beast.
Questions with no answers were slowly becoming a plague to Seth's life, he rubbed his head in frustration and turned to the scene of Ukota town, noticing that the town's situation had gotten worse in those few minutes where he contemplated the mysteries of Lukta forest.
With the tiger standing on the cliff and him standing on its head, Seth now stood at a position where most of the beast could catch a glimpse of him just by looking back, this situation drove the beast crazier than they were already as most of them began smashing their heads against the erected barrier of the town without a care.
The lucky and smart ones charged around the walls of the town and escaped Seth's presence while the angry and especially huge ones seemed to make it their mission to break through Ukota's walls and escape Seth's presence as they were too far from the edges of the wall.
Blood poured out of the head of most beasts as they charged head-first into the barrier, their efforts paying off as cracks began appearing in the blue dome which surrounded the town.
"Go," Seth said, and without wasting a second the tiger charged forward once more, its boastful roar sending the beasts at the wall into a frenzy and making those who were still fleeing from it but had yet to reach the town's wall run harder.
This time Seth sat on the tiger's head as he watched the ongoing chaos, and then all of a sudden he said to the tiger, " meet me at the town's gate" and then the next second he was gone from its head.
........
"Bring in more pills, quickly switch with those who are already tired, and all attack teams be ready for a breach at any moment" barked a tall large man sporting a huge battle axe on his back to the soldiers around him.
Aluf Gudzil was the captain in charge of the military forces of Ukota town, and currently, he was standing on the tall town wall and preparing his men to resist the beasts when the town barriers came down.
With his large and intimidating frame, the soldiers around him followed his orders without complaint, but if one looked closely at them, one would see fear and hopelessness in their eyes, and Gudzil could not blame them.
Typical towns had short thin walls surrounding them, and almost none of those towns had a barrier surrounding them, but Ukota town was different, with its geographic and strategic location, the town's walls were very high and thick, and even sporting outpost, walkways, and cannons mounted on them, such an infrastructure made Ukota town more than capable of resisting a small military invasion from a Grade C city, but even with all that, there was absolutely no hope of Ukota town surviving to see the next day.
Gudzil once again looked down from the trembling city walls and stared at the beasts striking against the barrier, 1, 2, 3,4,5, Gudzil once again counted the number of rank 6 beasts outside the town and around the area he currently stood, in town which boasted a 1st stage general as its strongest cultivator, that cultivator being the mayor, one could imagine the massacre that would happen immediately the wall went down.
It hadn't been a month since a rank 8 beast brought a tragedy on the town and now another tragedy had befallen it, and this time they didn't even have their 3rd stage general guardian,
If not for the fact that the town was currently surrounded by attacking and fleeing beasts, it would have been abandoned long ago, but unfortunately, the beasts had appeared too suddenly, giving the town inhabitants no time to flee, and now all they could do was hopelessly try to resist in vain.
Taking in a deep breath, Gudzil turned away from the beasts and faced the town, preparing to give a battle speech to both the soldiers on the wall and the ground, hoping to at least boost up their morale, but just as he commanded their attention and opened his mouth to begin speaking, he froze.
It wasn't just Gudzil who froze, but every other soldier around him as the loud and angry roars of the beast which had been behind the wall disappeared, and all they could hear was the loud thumping of hooves.
Not wasting time, Gudzil turned around and looked down below the wall, but was met with the scene of all the beasts which had been outside the wall turning and began running away, and the scariest part about it all was that they did so silently not a single beast letting out a sound.
The scene stunned Gudzil and all the other soldiers on the wall as they began furiously searching for the cause of such abnormal behavior in the beasts, and then Gudzil heard a soldier scream out " there" pointing at a spot just some meters away from the city gate where not a single departing beast dared to follow, and casually walking in that spot was a young man.
