Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

An army of 15,000 men is undoubtedly a formidable force that cannot be underestimated in Winter City at present.

It's like a pot of undercooked rice; it's hard to swallow, but Winterfell has no choice but to bite the bullet and eat it.

After all, if they can successfully deal with it, the points they gain will probably be enough to make Winterfell stand out among all the heroes in the North and look down on all sides.

However...

Just as Link was gathering everyone to discuss how to deal with the enemy, an unexpected event suddenly occurred!

A city guard, looking flustered, pushed open the door and rushed in, his face filled with terror and unease. He stammered to Link, "Sir! No...nothing good has happened! The Demon Beast Forest to the north...in the forest..."

"What exactly happened? Don't rush, tell me slowly!" Link said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed.

The soldier took several deep breaths, trying to calm his fear, and said in a trembling voice, "A large number of magical beasts have appeared in the forest! Lord Link! It's a beast tide! The beast tide is coming!"

"What!?"

The soldier's words were like a bombshell, causing everyone present to change their expressions and furrow their brows, plunging the room into a deathly silence.

Why did this have to happen at this crucial juncture?

This is truly a double whammy, making one grit their teeth in hatred!

With a massive army of 15,000 men from Ashvale County pressing in from the front and a surging tide of beasts approaching from behind, the worst-case scenario they had ever wanted to face had finally become a cruel reality!

"Damn it!" Link cursed under his breath, his brow furrowed, his eyes fixed on the map, racking his brains for a solution.

Just then, Agnes stepped forward, her gaze firm and her expression calm, as if everything was under her control.

"I'll handle those 15,000 men in Grey Valley County."

Agnes's voice was calm yet powerful, echoing in the quiet room.

“Agnes…you…” Link was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

One person, fighting against an army of 15,000?

This is a joke!

However, Agnes's expression was quite serious, with no hint of mockery or joking in her eyes, making it impossible to tell that she was joking at all.

"You don't think I used all my strength in the previous battles, do you?"

Agnes' lips curled up slightly, revealing a composed smile.

84. The Beginning of the Beast Tide

In Link's initial strategic plan, the 15,000-strong army was supposed to rely on the strong city walls to defend against the invading enemy.

The repaired, heightened, and widened city walls, along with the heavy ballistae mounted on them, together created an impregnable barrier. Without a doubt, the city walls were their greatest advantage in this battle.

Even with an enemy force of up to 20,000, Link firmly believed that as long as troops were allocated reasonably and elite forces were concentrated on a few key sections of the city wall for focused defense, victory was not impossible.

But fate always seems to love playing tricks on people.

The sudden beast tide shattered all plans.

These ferocious and brutal monsters swept in from another direction like a surging tide, forming a pincer movement with the enemy army.

The already strained garrison forces were now forced to disperse and deploy in order to deal with threats from two directions.

In this way, the battle situation instantly became unpredictable, and the outcome would be difficult to foresee.

Just as he was frowning and racking his brains for a solution, Agnes's words gave him a sudden inspiration.

With Agnes's unfathomable strength, she might truly be able to create a miracle in this desperate situation and turn the tide of battle...

However, Agnes's expression was somewhat solemn. She slowly said, "However, Lord Link, you must also be prepared. Humans often fear powerful forces, and once this fear is aroused, it can sometimes cause them to lose their minds and fall into madness. If the power I possess is exposed, it may bring you unexpected trouble, which is why I have been deliberately suppressing my power all along."

Link nodded silently, knowing full well that Agnes was telling the truth.

If news were to spread that a single person could destroy an entire elite army of 15,000, it would undoubtedly be an earth-shattering event.

At that time, Winterfell will most likely become the target of the entire human kingdom, falling into a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness.

But at this moment, Winterfell has reached a critical juncture of life and death, leaving them no room for hesitation or retreat.

“There’s no time for us to worry about these things now. If Winterfell is destroyed by those monsters, we will all lose our foundation for survival and have no future. Asagi, you will accompany Agnes. If anything happens, bring her back immediately and ensure her safety.”

Link looked at Asagi with unwavering determination, his tone filled with an unquestionable resolve.

"Yes, my lord!"

Asagi knelt on one knee and accepted the order.

"Jin Meiting, Luo Suli, and Hannah, the three of you, act immediately! Inventory all supplies in the city to ensure ample replenishment without any errors. The rest of you, quickly concentrate your forces and prepare for battle according to the pre-arranged plan!"

Link slammed his hand on the table, thus finalizing the strategy for this battle.

The others obeyed and left, leaving only Link's resolute figure in the room. He knew that an unprecedented fierce battle was about to begin.

......

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dull yet urgent alarm bells echoed incessantly over Winterfell, like a death knell or a battle horn, constantly striking the hearts of everyone.

The people in the city spontaneously sprang into action the moment they heard the alarm bell.

Although they were filled with fear, their desire to survive and their love for their homeland made them resolutely throw themselves into preparations for this life-or-death battle.

The men carried heavy weapons and supplies on their shoulders and in their hands, making trip after trip, their clothes soaked with sweat, but no one complained of being tired. The women were not to be outdone, helping to organize arrows or reinforce the city gates. Their slender but strong hands were also contributing their strength to protecting the city.

World of Warcraft doesn't care whether you're male or female, noble or slave, rich or poor.

Faced with their greedy and ferocious bestiality, everyone is treated equally, all delicious prey in their eyes.

The people were well aware of this; they understood that only by working together and contributing their own strength could they win this battle and survive this catastrophe.

Meanwhile, Link and his group had already climbed onto the city wall.

On the city wall, the city guards, who had undergone modern military training, reacted the fastest and quickly took their positions.

They worked in groups of six, quickly and systematically beginning to check the quantity of heavy crossbows and arrows.

Watching their skillful and professional movements, Link felt a little gratified.

The training and thorough preparations over this period of time have clearly paid off; these city guards now possess the ability to handle crises.

Link stood on the city wall, gazing northwest.

At the edge of the horizon, a group of black figures, like a black tide, slowly approached Winterfell.

Link squinted and carefully estimated the number; there were about seventy or eighty.

Guided by the barricades and traps that had been set up in advance, these monsters gradually gathered in front of the city wall.

This is a valuable lesson Link learned after experiencing the Direwolf incident.

Although these monsters are ferocious, they are not very intelligent. By cleverly using traps and obstacles to guide their direction of movement, it is possible to concentrate firepower to kill them more effectively.

Link observed carefully for a moment and found that the animals in the herd varied in size and shape.

Some look like wolves, with agile bodies; others look like wild buffalo or wild boars, with huge bodies and exuding a savage aura.

As the monsters drew closer, the group was finally able to clearly discern their shapes.

Leading the charge was a horned ox, a low-level magical beast.

Its two dark horns were as thick as an average human arm.

The hair growing on its back is like a thick cloak, covering its entire body completely, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes that reveal endless ferocity and greed.

The monster charged at an incredible speed, like a black lightning bolt, without the slightest pause, heading straight for the city wall.

"call out!"

The heavy ballista fired its first arrow, which accurately pierced the head of the horned ox!

With a loud "boom," the horned ox, propelled by the momentum of its charge, crashed straight into the city wall.

Its head was instantly smashed to pieces, and black blood splattered all over the wall like a fountain, the pungent smell of blood instantly spreading.

Immediately following, two swift wolves pounced on the back of the horned ox.

Their bodies are light and agile, drawing sharp arcs in the air.

"prick!"

I heard Lina's loud and urgent shout.

However, the combined attack was clearly less effective than during training.

Many of them were new recruits who had just completed their training. Faced with this sudden danger and intense pressure, their movements became flustered.

Spears were thrust out one after another. Some people were so nervous when they saw the Swift Wolves leap that they thrust out their spears, only to miss. Others, however, did not react for a long time after hearing the slogan and stood there blankly.

As a result, only one of the leaping wolves was killed, while the other seized the opportunity and tried to leap out from between the guns and rush towards the soldiers on the city wall.

"Keep formation!"

Seeing this, Lina roared again, her voice filled with anxiety and anger.

Meanwhile, the heavily armored shield bearers behind these recruits had already made their move.

They were burly men, wielding heavy greatswords, like steel giants.

They swung their greatswords and slashed down directly at the Gale Wolf that was trying to leap up.

The greatsword, accompanied by a whooshing sound, instantly cleaved the Gale Wolf in two, splattering their blood all over them.

"Calm down! Don't panic! Keep your eyes on the front and don't give those monsters any chance to take advantage!"

The dutiful Lina was still loudly lecturing them in their ears.

Her voice, booming like a bell, echoed across the chaotic battlefield, trying to calm the new recruits.

Although this first wave of beasts only numbered around seventy or eighty, it still put considerable pressure on these new recruits.

However, Link, Lina, and the others knew that this was a good opportunity for the new recruits to practice.

New recruits must experience combat; only after being baptized in blood and fire can they truly grow into qualified soldiers.

However, even so, some people were still injured in the battle.

"Ah! My stomach!" A scream came from not far away, the sound filled with pain and fear.

"His intestines are coming out."

"It was scratched by the claws of that Gale Wolf when it pounced!"

"Help me! Ah—"

The wounded soldier writhed in agony on the ground, blood gushing from his wounds and staining the surrounding ground red.

"Quick! Medic!" someone shouted.

The scene immediately became somewhat chaotic, with fear and worry appearing on the soldiers' faces.

Fortunately, the next few monsters that rushed to the city wall were all tusked boars. They were not good at jumping, and although they had thick skin and flesh, at such close range, they were all shot into pincushions by the city guards' heavy ballistae.

The thick arrows pierced their bodies, pinning many tusked wild boars firmly to the ground.

"Everyone, don't panic!" Lina shouted, her voice carrying an undeniable authority: "Have you all forgotten what happens when someone gets injured during training?"

Lina's words were like a wake-up call for the new recruits.

The captain among the new recruits hurriedly said, "Carry him to the infirmary, quick!"

After the wounded were carried away, order was finally restored on the city wall.

The soldiers readjusted their posture, their eyes now showing more determination and courage.

This wave of monsters looks numerous, but only a few can pose a threat to the people on the city wall.

With the city guards working together, the heavy ballistae shot down the remaining monsters one by one, and the new recruits finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the city guards on duty soon sounded the alarm again.

The urgent and loud alarm bell made everyone's hearts jump again.

This time, a massive, dark horde of monsters finally emerged from the northwestern forest.
