Chapter 312: Battlefield Cleanup Team

The city defense army was not foolish, and soon, some smart individuals grasped Fulan’s intentions.

Indeed, while there were two wolves among these extraordinary beasts, they were not a group of ungrateful creatures ready to overturn the table after being satiated.

What they had assumed to be a guide turned out to be bait.

The soldiers on the city wall quickly responded, firing several tracer rounds that landed in front of the five red furballs. Fulan followed the light’s direction and, sure enough, spotted a specific area.

There, the soldiers were densely gathered, and behind them stood a mysterious large weapon shrouded in a rainproof cloth, clearly designed to handle the clustered extraordinary beasts.

With a thought, Fulan issued commands within her small biological field, causing the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult extraordinary beasts to gradually shift direction, with the extraordinary beasts behind them instinctively following suit.

From the vantage point of the city wall, it appeared that countless extraordinary beasts, led by a few blood-red creatures, surged toward the city wall in a cone-shaped formation, resembling a black-gray tidal wave poised to crash against the shore rocks.

The rainproof cloth was slowly drawn back, revealing the menacing black cannon beneath.

In resource-scarce Hope City, this weapon was not a common sight during every beast tide.

If it hadn’t been for a Fifth Level Extraordinary Beast that had single-handedly confronted the first team just a week ago, leaving the council members as anxious as startled birds, today’s beast tide might not have warranted the deployment of such a weapon.

Two operators had already begun to aim, intending to fire a powerful shell at a precise location that would achieve a clean-sweep effect without eliminating the mole they had so carefully planted among their ranks.

With the targeting complete, the surrounding soldiers dispersed to provide ample space for the weapon to operate effectively.

The firing and explosion occurred almost simultaneously, and when the soldiers looked down from the city wall, they were astonished to find that the cone-shaped beast tide led by the mole had already dissipated by more than half.

The shock wave and tremor even caused the remaining extraordinary beasts to lose their thinking ability momentarily.

They could only discern that the explosion had occurred behind them, causing their formation to collapse instantly as they began to charge toward the city wall.

Under the free-fire order, extraordinary beasts fell one by one in the wilderness below the city.

A few blood-red furballs also ceased their movement at this moment.

As the vanguard of the cone-shaped group, the impact they sustained was undoubtedly the least severe.

Even so, blood oozed from the ears of the three wolves.

For extraordinary beasts, this was not a significant injury; as long as their internal organs remained intact, their recovery ability was formidable.

Aside from Fulan, the other extraordinary beasts had blood flowing from their ears and were drooling blood.

At this moment, not a single extraordinary beast dared to complain about the humans’ attack affecting them.

The recent violent explosion not only killed a significant number of extraordinary beasts but also shattered the morale of the remaining beasts, plunging them into fear.

However, for the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult, the lack of complaints about humans did not stem from fear but rather…

“Boss, humans are indeed formidable. With so much prey, we’ll have plenty to eat for a long time, right?”

“Yeah, Boss, once they finish firing, we won’t have to worry about food and drink for a while.”

“Exactly! If we could take down this much prey every time, it wouldn’t matter if our ears bled.”

“Boss, humans are so generous! Look, from over there (the inner explosion) to here (the outer explosion), there’s meat of every doneness!”

“To be a dog for humans is truly a blessing!”

“……”

A group of extraordinary beasts surrounded Fulan, chattering away, treating the still-active battlefield as if it were a buffet hall.

This left Fulan momentarily at a loss for words; she had initially intended to comfort her teammates, but these fellows had already voiced all the comforting words she had in mind.

Now, she found herself with nothing to say, and could only silently observe a group of extraordinary beasts, who had grown somewhat weary of nutritional paste, embarking on an unlimited buffet.

“Boss, you should eat too!”

The three wolves, with their three heads working in unison, swiftly tossed half a leg of an extraordinary beast in front of Fulan.

One head greeted Fulan, while the other two were already feasting voraciously.

Fulan examined the half leg before her, its species now unrecognizable, though she could confirm it wasn’t from any insect.

She lifted her gaze to her wolf teammates.

This once unruly warrior was now utterly captivated by the allure of the buffet and the chance to indulge.

The outrageous notion of serving humans as a dog had originated from this creature, who clearly lacked any sense of boundaries.

It was evident that he had no comprehension of what a bottom line was; even if he did, he would likely dismiss it as worthless, given its lack of edible value.

Fulan glanced around at her teammates, who were adding to their meals amidst the battlefield, and then at the extraordinary beasts, momentarily stunned by the shockwave.

In a daze, she finally lowered her head and took a bite of the crispy yet tender beast leg.

Mmm, it was truly delicious.

After a few bites, Fulan reassessed her current predicament.

Thanks to the shockwave, numerous extraordinary beasts lay nearby, merely stunned by the impact.

Fulan carefully gauged her current capacity and realized that her few subordinates, now with enhanced thinking ability, were indeed relying less on their rationality.

Each extraordinary beast had lost a part, and that freed-up energy was sufficient for Fulan to transform another follower for the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.

However, as she surveyed the scattered extraordinary beasts, Fulan found herself becoming selective this time.

She glanced at the motley crew behind her and couldn’t help but reflect on how she had once been far less discerning.

In the past, it had been about making do with a ragtag group, where even the heads of the members didn’t match.

Now, with so many fainted extraordinary beasts before her, Fulan decided to pick only those that appeared capable, at least comparable to the three wolves.

As for their treatment, since these were the latest recruits, they certainly couldn’t be granted the status of protectors or elders; let’s just dub them “Common Soldier No. 1.”

With a plan in mind, Fulan began her meticulous selection and finally settled on an extraordinary beast that looked formidable, with a flat head.

Then came the well-rehearsed three-step process: transformation, illusion, and incessant chattering.

Seeing this long-absent ritual, the other red-furred orbs gathered around Fulan, keeping a vigilant watch over their boss and the surroundings.

It seemed the first half of this battle had concluded for the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.

But for those still defending the city walls, it was far from over.

At this moment, the battlefield remained teeming with extraordinary beasts; only a fraction of the area had been temporarily cleared by the recent, powerful Meow Meow tool.

The rest was still filled with the gray, moving dots representing extraordinary beasts.

For them, today’s battle had only just begun.
