Chapter 481

Su Yang, accompanied by Hao Ren and Liu Liu Mengyun, found the two City Lords of Wanyang City inside a building that had been temporarily requisitioned.

However, before meeting the two City Lords, Su Yang had already used the memory-deciphering ability of the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly to pinpoint the cause of this riot of spider-type fierce beasts.

In the direction of Tianzhu, near the region of Wanyang City, a Beast King had appeared.

Its strength was unknown, and it possessed the ability to command spider-type fierce beasts.

The Platinum Top-Grade Swift Wolf Spider controlled by the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly had once seen that Beast King and, under its orders, had launched an attack on Wanyang City.

That Beast King was also in the form of a spider; it was not large, about the size of an ordinary military vehicle.

It was very easy to identify: its upper body resembled that of a young girl, while its lower body was a hideous spider's body.

Its body seemed to be made of crystal, slightly transparent, and looked extremely beautiful from afar!

This kind of fierce beast reminded Su Yang of the extremely rare Human-Faced Spider with Sovereign-Rank growth potential.

But the Human-Faced Spider's body was not as beautiful as crystal.

The only thing that made Su Yang slightly happy was that the spider Beast King did not seem to be in the vicinity of Wanyang City.

If that Beast King were present, Su Yang might have just taken the survivors of Wanyang City and slipped away!

As for the mission... it would be fine to just give it up!

"Captain Su, we really owe it to you for arriving in time this time; otherwise, Wanyang City would truly be finished!"

"You're welcome, this was our mission to begin with!" Su Yang said, "But I would like to ask City Lord Yu, do you have any intelligence regarding this beast tide?"

That Swift Wolf Spider knew relatively little.

"This beast tide might be because of a Beast King, but we were likely just caught in the crossfire; the other side didn't intend to break through in our direction!" Yu Hao sighed heavily, "By the time we knew, it was already too late... Old Long, you tell him!"

Tan Shulong smiled reluctantly, glanced at Liu Liu Mengyun behind Su Yang, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, a Gold-Rank beastmaster from Dada City fled to our Wanyang City. He told us that a spider-type Beast King had appeared near Dada City, possessing the ability to command spider fierce beasts. Tianzhu lost four cities in a row; he kept fleeing for his life, but in the end, he ran in the wrong direction and escaped to our side!"

"Four cities?"

Su Yang furrowed his brows.

It was not impossible for Tianzhu to lose four cities in a row.

If he hadn't arrived, Wanyang City would certainly have been gone too.

Judging from the Swift Wolf Spider's memory, when it first saw that Beast King, there were over two dozen Shine-Rank Golden Buddha Spiders crawling at the Beast King's feet.

"Twenty days ago, Tianzhu lost four cities; now, who knows!" Tan Shulong said with a bitter smile, "We lost contact with the Tianzhu side a long time ago."

Yu Hao said: "Yesterday afternoon, after we received the news, we dispatched beastmasters to report the information to the Southwestern Military Department, and we also withdrew all our land-reclamation troops to strengthen our defenses, but we still couldn't hold them off."

"Hmm!"

Su Yang knew that this could not be blamed on Wanyang City.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was too vast.

Yu Hao said: "Captain Su, I am very grateful that you helped us hold Wanyang City, but I still feel that we should prepare to evacuate Wanyang City."

"You can prepare for the evacuation first!" Su Yang nodded, "But have you considered that even if you evacuate Wanyang City, those spider fierce beasts won't continue to chase eastward and threaten other cities behind Wanyang City?"

Yu Hao said in a low voice: "I just want to try my best to save the people first!"

"I can understand that!"

Su Yang understood that Yu Hao was also right.

It was just that the two sides were looking at the problem from different perspectives.

Yu Hao was thinking about the problem from the perspective of Wanyang City.

He wanted to save the beastmasters under his command, as well as the remaining civilians of Wanyang City.

Su Yang was thinking about the problem from the standpoint of the Southwestern Military Department.

He was thinking about how to ensure that the cities to the west of the southwest would not be breached by spider-type fierce beasts like Wanyang City!

Su Yang said: "Then you can prepare first, prepare to evacuate, and we will take a look at the situation first. If there is really no other way, our 14th Emergency Squad will protect your evacuation!"

If it really came to the last resort, Su Yang would also abandon the defensive mission.

He could not gamble the lives of tens of thousands of civilians and the surviving beastmasters of Wanyang City for the sake of his own mission!

If the mission was abandoned, then it was abandoned.

In any case, there was no penalty for failing the mission!

Yu Hao said gratefully: "Then many thanks for your understanding, Captain Su!"

"It's nothing!"

"Then please excuse me for a moment!"

"Go ahead!"

Inside the room, only Tan Shulong remained.

Just now, while Su Yang was talking to Yu Hao, he had been paying attention to the female beastmaster behind Su Yang.

As a Platinum-Rank beastmaster, Tan Shulong held a high status in Wanyang City and was never short of women by his side!

But that female beastmaster with a head of crystal-clear white hair, a cold body, and a solemn temperament was the most beautiful Huaxia woman Tan Shulong had ever seen to date.

Standing in front of her, the dignified Deputy City Lord of Wanyang City, Tan Shulong, even felt a sense of inferiority!
