The beasts left as soon as they came and soon everything fell back to silence once again.

However, that silence didn't last since there was another wave that was heading their way.

This beast wave was around the same size as the first one that had passed, but just like the first one, it ran right past Snow Wind City.

This happened again and again, wave after wave.

After six different beast waves of varying sizes passed by Snow Wind City, the people standing guard on the walls felt much more relaxed, thinking that it would all be fine. However, when the seventh wave came, it was anything but fine.

This wave was different from all the other waves.

It was the same in the beginning where they appeared and headed towards Snow Wind City, but unlike the other waves, this one didn't head straight past Snow Wind City. Rather they were moving right towards the walls of Snow Wind City.

Seeing this, there were still a few people who wanted to believe that they were going to pass by Snow Wind City, but almost everyone knew what was about to happen.

However, no one panicked since this was what they had planned for.

Everyone got into position and prepared their defenses, just waiting for the waves of beasts to approach before making their attacks.

However, there were a few younger people who had signed up for the defense who weren't mentally as strong. Seeing the large wave of beasts that came towards the city, a few of the younger ones couldn't keep their calm and threw the spears in their hands before the beast could enter their range.

These spears flew out and landed harmlessly some distance in front of the beasts that were at the very front of the beast wave.

The beasts completely ignored these spears and just charged right on through, but it was too bad for them that there were traps right in front of these spears. So in a sense, these spears had done their jobs working as diversions.

As for why there were these young cultivators on the wall, it would take some going back in time.

…

Close to an hour ago, during the preparations.

There was a group of young people who had suddenly shown up at the wall asking to join the defense of the city.

The experts who were present did admire these kids, but they couldn't make the decision, so they brought this group to the command camp.

In the command camp was naturally everyone from Lin Fan's group, Lin Fan, and the three royal family heads.

The three royal family heads were against this because they believed that these young people would be the future of their city. Of course, they also believed that they would be destroyed in this upcoming battle, so they wanted to preserve a few good saplings for the future of Snow Wind City.

But what surprised everyone was that Lin Fan actually agreed to let them join the defenses.

No one knew what reason Lin Fan had for accepting them, but everyone had already accepted Lin Fan as their leader so they couldn't say a thing.

Among these young people, Lin Fan had noticed Luo Qing.

Without knowing why, he suddenly had a strange feeling that made him pull himself away from the meeting and he brought Luo Qing into a corner to talk to her.

Luo Qing was surprised by Lin Fan's sudden actions, but she still went along with him.

Everyone who had been in the room revealed a smile when they saw this, that is, everyone except for Angela.

Even though it was obvious that Angela and Lin Fan were together, this was a world of cultivation. It was a world where the strong ruled, so naturally there was no problem with polygamy.

They even thought that for someone as strong as Lin Fan, it was normal for him to have more than one girl.

As for Angela, she didn't have an angry look like one would expect. For some reason, she had an understanding look as she looked at Luo Qing, it was almost like a look of pity.

Lin Fan brought Luo Qing to a corner of the city and stood in front of her with a serious look as he asked, "What are you thinking?"

Luo Qing was surprised by Lin Fan's sudden question, but then she calmly said, "I'm protecting my city, what do you think I'm doing?"

By all rights, Lin Fan was the one who approved the young people to defend the city walls, so he should have been alright with this, but there was a strange feeling in him when he saw Luo Qing. It was almost as if there was something inside him telling him that he couldn't let her onto those walls.

Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows as he said, "You know what I mean."

Luo Qing heard this and she couldn't help feeling aggrieved, "What does it matter to you what I do? You don't have the right to say anything after that last time."

In Luo Qing's heart, she could never forget what Lin Fan had said before he left. Even though she tried to push it down in her heart, it had still left a deep wound on her.

Lin Fan was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

He wanted to say that it was because she was like family that he didn't want anything to happen to her, but then he felt that this was inappropriate. At the same time, there was a small part of him that was unwilling to say this.

It was the same part of him that had appeared when he had seen her at his house making dinner with his mother.

He didn't know when it had started, but there was a small part in him that gave birth to this feeling.

Seeing that Lin Fan was struggling to say something, Luo Qing was suddenly filled with a bit of anger.

She stomped her foot and with a snort, she walked off, heading back to the wall.

Lin Fan's hand came up and he wanted to say something, but there really was nothing that he could say.

For once, he didn't know how to sort through these feelings of his.

…

Back to the present, the beasts charged right through the spears that were in the ground and soon they entered the range of the first wave of traps.

As soon as they rushed over these traps, they opened and revealed their true form.

The ground collapsed underneath these beasts and opened up to reveal holes that had spikes in them.

Once again, Lin Fan had used hole traps for these beasts.

However, just like before, since there were just too many beasts, the holes quickly filled up and the beasts were able to make their way through these traps.

Unlike before, this time they were defending from a city which actually had city walls around it, creating a large barrier that kept out the beasts.

These walls were much thicker than the makeshift barricades they had made in the wilds, so the beasts couldn't break through them. All they could do at first was stand at the bottom as ranged attacks fell down onto them.

All kinds of spears and arrows rained down, turning these beasts into pincushions.

Unlike before, there was no need for the humans to work in waves with their overwhelming defensive positioning, so they had as many people as possible on the wall throwing ranged attacks down on the beasts below.

But these beasts wouldn't just take these attacks sitting.

As more and more beasts died, there was a small pile of corpses that had formed at the  bottom of the wall. As the corpse pile grew, there were beasts that climbed over their fallen comrades and began climbing up the tall city walls.

But while they were climbing up the walls, all they did was give clear targets for the people on the walls to aim at.

It was so easy that it even built up confidence for the younger people.

"Ha, this is so easy!"

"Ya, what were we worried about?"

"I'm gonna spear a few more of these beasts and turn in their pelts!"

Words like these were exchanged all over the walls by the younger defenders, but the older defenders knew that this situation was bad.

They had taken out all of the ranged weapons in Snow Wind City, this was their entire supply. Once they ran out, they would be out of ranged weapons.

However, as they threw more and more of their weapons down, they would have less to throw and there didn't seem to be an end to this beast wave.

No matter how they looked at it, they were ridiculously outnumbered and at this rate, it would only be a matter of time before they ran out of weapons to stop the beasts. The beasts would reach the top of the wall and once they did, it would mean close range combat.

Close range combat was dangerous because there was limited space on the walls, so there was limited space for experts. It was very easy for them to be outnumbered by the beasts.

Of course, they could just fight in the city, but that wasn't something they were willing to do unless it was absolutely necessary because they were trying to protect the city after all.

However, as time passed, the situation became more dire as the beasts came closer and closer to the top of the wall.

It was only at this time that the younger defenders noticed what was wrong.

However, when one of the beasts finally reached the top, there was something that stopped it.
