Chapter 237 For Her Majesty the Queen! A desperate battle!
"hateful!"
When Wu Weier and her group returned to the salt mine, they saw what had happened and were all filled with indignation, their eyes blazing with anger.
because...
At this moment, the foot and halfway up the mountain are littered with the corpses of their orc companions.
There were also dark, shadowy monsters on the mountainside, frantically attacking the mountain.
However, there are still many powerful orcs on the mountain, desperately trying to stop them.
But faced with shadowy monsters that outnumbered the orcs many times over, they were merely putting up a desperate resistance.
I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long before they attack and take the mountain.
"Don't be impulsive! Let's take the back path!"
Er Ya originally wanted to rush up to help, but was stopped by a voice.
She had just broken through to the fifth rank, and her strength had skyrocketed. Her already incredibly powerful physique was now able to ignore the attacks of these monsters.
She alone could take on at least ten people!
However, Wu Weier reached out and stopped her.
"We have more important things to do now!"
Wu Weier wasn't sure if she could persuade the deputy city lord.
As far as she knew, the human world lacked salt, but the City of Beasts lacked it even more, desperately.
Because the environment in the human world is much better, and resources are more abundant.
Most importantly, human factions can trade and communicate with each other regularly.
And what about the City of Ten Thousand Beasts?
Orcs have never been considered human.
Naturally, no one wanted to trade with orcs.
If it is discovered that someone is trading with orcs, that faction will be suppressed by other factions.
Therefore, the orcs have to be self-sufficient in all their necessities.
You can imagine how miserable the lives of the beastmen were! They were worse off than dogs!
In the eyes of Heitu City and Longcheng, this salt mine is worth 20 million and must be obtained!
But for the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, this is not something that money can measure; it is their life!
At this moment, deep within the salt mine, in a spacious cave.
Standing there were three leaders: a minotaur, a tiger, and a bear.
All three orcs were as strong as oxen, and each was over two meters tall.
But sitting in the main seat was a dog-headed orc who was less than 1.5 meters tall.
They all had one thing in common: they were all covered in wounds.
In the previous battle, all of them, as leaders, participated and were all wounded.
The most disheveled were the kobolds.
He was facing the strongest Black Earth City Lord, and was hit by one of his black flame projectiles, sustaining the most severe injuries.
At this moment, the kobold was completely black.
So much so that it's impossible to tell whether he's a black dog or a white dog.
The tiger-headed beastman looked at the dog-headed beastman and bowed, saying, "Vice City Lord, Black Soil City has sent at least several hundred people to seize our salt mines, including two eighth-tier experts and all the others are elites. Their forces alone are several times ours."
Not to mention, there are hundreds of monsters that are very difficult to kill.
If this continues, the salt mines will be completely lost.
"Humph!"
The bear-headed beastman also shouted in a rough voice, "Humans refuse to trade with us, making it incredibly difficult for us in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts to obtain salt! We finally obtained this salt mine, and we absolutely cannot let it be stolen! Now, we can only ask Her Majesty the Queen for help."
"but..."
Niu Dali was also filled with anxiety and worry. "The Black Earth City Lord possesses dual fire and earth elemental talents; his strength is too formidable! Neither of the other two deputy city lords could stand against him. At least both deputy city lords would need to come, or Her Majesty the Queen herself would have to descend..."
"Your Majesty, we can no longer leave the Temple!" the kobold orc said with a wry smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City is a half-human, half-snake beastman, a super strong expert who is halfway to the ninth rank.
The beastmen, however, all respectfully addressed her as their Queen.
It's simply because...this Queen has protected them for many years and made great sacrifices.
"I've already sent people to request help, but it's impossible to get both deputy city lords to leave Beast City! They still have to protect Her Majesty the Queen; at most, only one deputy city lord can come to their aid. Besides..."
The kobold sighed and looked at the three leaders below, saying, "It will take at least three days to get here from Beast City! I need everyone to hold on for another three days!"
"Three days?"
The minotaur, tiger-headed man, and bear-headed man all gave a bitter smile.
Fighting those shadowy monsters was really too much effort.
Because killing one hundred shadowy monsters is more difficult than killing three hundred ferocious beasts.
In today's battle, they suffered over a hundred casualties, but only managed to kill fewer than two hundred shadowy monsters.
Moreover... even their leaders were seriously injured, and things will only get more difficult tomorrow.
but...
The three orc leaders exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with determination. They knelt on one knee, clenched their right fists over their hearts, and shouted, "For Her Majesty the Queen! We'll fight to the death!"
They knew very well that if they wanted to delay for three days, they would have to risk their lives.
The remaining hundred or so companions may all die here.
However... this salt mine is crucial to the survival of Beast City and cannot be lost.
The Queen was willing to sacrifice everything for them, and they had long been prepared to sacrifice everything as well.
"very good!"
The dog-headed orc looked at the three of them and nodded in satisfaction. He struggled to his feet, supporting himself on his knees. "Before the final battle, let's use the secret passage to send those children away. They are the future of my Beast City, and we cannot let them die here."
"As for that Black Earth City Lord, who dared to invade my Ten Thousand Beasts City, I will make sure he dies without a burial place!"
In the end, his eyes suddenly sharpened like knives, filled with determination.
"Deputy City Lord, you absolutely mustn't!"
Upon hearing this, the three orc leaders were immediately horrified.
The deputy city lord is trying to...
"Stop talking nonsense! This is the only way...cough cough~" the kobold roared.
As a result, the injury was aggravated, and the person coughed violently and incessantly.
"Vice City Lord, Wu Weier and Er Ya are back! They said they wanted to see you immediately!" Just then, the orc guarding the door rushed in, his expression a mixture of surprise and urgency.
"What? They're back? How are they? Are they hurt?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Dali's eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed out immediately.
Then you see two figures, one tall and one short, radiant and full of energy.
He looks like a completely different person compared to before.
"How are you? Are you injured?" Niu Dali asked anxiously.
"Stop talking nonsense and take us to see the deputy city lord!" Wu Weier waved her hand and said.
"Oh, come with me." Niu Dali nodded obediently and led the two inside.
"I'm sorry, the stronghold was already in dire straits, and I couldn't go out to rescue you. You're back safe and sound!" The deputy city lord with the dog-headed head said apologetically upon seeing the two women unharmed.
Niu Dali had previously asked him to send people out to rescue people.
However, the deputy city lord was short-handed and had to refuse under the pretext of guarding the salt mine.
"Thank you for your concern, Deputy City Lord. We understand!" Wu Weier bowed and nodded.
"By the way, you still haven't told me what happened? And why did you suddenly come back? Where are the others?" Niu Dali asked in a deep voice, his eyes wide like copper bells.
