Chapter 368: Chapter 299: Turmoil in the Barracks! Ruin City’s Move!_1

Atop the walls of Ruin City.

Ruin City’s defender, Han Xiangyang, was inspecting the walls with several silhouettes, gazing into the distant Wind-Speaking Prairie.

Han Xiangyang asked, “Commander Chen, what’s the current situation?”

Chen Dongjun replied, “Ruin City has now amassed an army of five hundred thousand soldiers, as well as over one hundred thousand Professionists, enough to withstand this onslaught of the Beastmen.”

“Regrettably, nearly all of our outer scouting camps have been uprooted, and we seldom receive intelligence.”

“By the way, Defender Han,” Chen Dongjun inquired, “have the Watchers found out the reason for the Beastmen’s sudden attack?”

“No.”

Han Xiangyang shook his head, saying, “The Nightwatchers report that the enemy came too quickly. His men couldn’t infiltrate the camps, only that this time the Cave Beastmen Tribe has mobilized almost their entire tribe, and even the subjugated Goblin Tribes and Hobgoblin Tribes have sent out large forces…”

“What exactly are they trying to do?”

Chen Dongjun frowned and looked toward the distant Jackal Werewolf army.

“Haha…” He sneered, “The Wilderness was discovered less than a year ago, and a battle with the Cave Beastmen was inevitable. The war has come later than expected, but what’s there to fear?”

“The world’s rules in the Wilderness are even more fragmented compared to other battlefields with exotic races. Although heavy missiles and similar thermal weapons still cannot be used, the military’s standard firearms have long been prepared!”

“This war, we must cripple the Cave Beastmen Tribe! Otherwise, endless troubles will arise!”

Several days ago, the Cave Beastmen army had advanced to the edge of the Wind-Speaking Prairie and set up camp.

A massive camp stretching over ten kilometers appeared before the eyes of everyone in Ruin City.

Moreover, according to reports from the Griffon Knights, Jackal Werewolves were continuously gathering here.

Around the outskirts of the camp, Jackal Werewolf Cavalry roamed, making it difficult for the Ruin City recon squads to approach.

On both flanks of the main battlefield, the Cave Beastman Tribe has already engaged in several large battles, with casualties on both sides.

However, overall, thanks to the thermal weapons, they had gained a bit of an advantage.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the distance, rapidly descending from the sky.

“It’s the Griffon recon squad!”

Soon, a Griffon Knight descended from the sky, landing next to Han Xiangyang and Chen Dongjun.

“Defender, General!”

The Griffon Knight respectfully said, “A disturbance has occurred in the Jackal Werewolf camp at nine o’clock from the Cave Beastmen army—many Jackal Werewolves are slaughtering each other in a riot!”

“What did you say?”

Han Xiangyang asked in surprise, “A riot in the Jackal Werewolf camp? Is that true? The Jackal Werewolf Tribe is the main fighting force of the Cave Beastman Tribe, the elite, how is that possible…”

The Griffon Knight replied with a bitter smile, “Defender, I couldn’t believe my own eyes either, but it’s true!”

“A riot indeed broke out in the Jackal Werewolf camp! So many Jackal Werewolves and their mounts are in combat, acting like a crazed pack.”

“Here is the footage we captured!”

As he spoke, the Griffon Knight presented a video taken by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

In the video, countless Jackal Werewolves were indeed slaughtering each other, clearly divided into opposing sides, with gruesome ferocity.

Especially those hundreds of mounts, they were in a frenzy.

“It’s not a trap?”

“It’s not.”

The Griffon Knight said, “The entire camp is indeed in chaos, and many have died.”

Han Xiangyang rubbed his temples, saying, “Let’s go check it out together!”

Chen Dongjun laughed heartily, “Since Defender wants to go, then this old man will surely accompany you!”

Shortly after, a dozen figures soared into the sky from the walls of Ruin City, flying toward the direction of the Jackal Werewolf camp.

On mounts like Griffins, Bipedal Flying Dragons, and Divine Wind Wing Dragons, they approached the Jackal Werewolf camp in less than half an hour.

At that moment, the entire Jackal Werewolf camp was on the brink of collapse!

From the perspective of Han Xiangyang and the others, the remainder of the Jackal Werewolf camp had fallen into chaos.

Thousands of mounts were rampaging through the camp, brutally tearing at the surrounding Jackal Werewolves.

There were also many Jackal Werewolves who had abandoned their weapons and, on all fours like crazed dogs, were also fighting against their former comrades.

As for the still normal Jackal Werewolves, they could only group together and retreat step by step.

Moreover, Jackal Werewolves kept undergoing changes, turning into wild beasts.

“What, what is going on?”

Han Xiangyang and the others were also startled, looking at the chaotic Jackal Werewolf camp.

“City Defender! This is our chance!”

Someone suggested, “No matter what’s happening in the Jackal Werewolf camp, this is our opportunity!”

“Just send in the cavalry troops, and we can crush the entire Jackal Werewolf camp in a short time!”

Han Xiangyang looked at the chaotic Jackal Werewolf camp, his gaze turning to Chen Dongjun, full of questions.

Chen Dongjun thought for a moment and said, “I once participated in a great battle with the Beastmen outside of our territory. Their attacks are ferocious, with no strategy, just brute force.”

“So this is not a stratagem, it must be an internal problem with the Jackal Werewolves!”

“I see. I will give the orders immediately!”

Han Xiangyang made a decisive decision, took out a communication charm from his backpack, and after a few breaths, the charm turned into a streak of fire and disappeared.

In Ruin City in the distance, more than ten gates opened widely, and a hundred thousand cavalry rushed out, charging towards the Jackal Werewolf camp.

Quite a few Professionists within Ruin City also received the news at the first moment!

“What’s going on? Ruin City’s authorities are actually taking the offensive?”

“I heard there’s a disturbance in the Jackal Werewolf camp, and the whole camp is in disarray!”

“Really? This is our chance then!”

“Hahaha! Follow the authorities, quick, quick, quick! It’s time to kill some Jackal Werewolves!”

Tens of thousands of Professionists, excited as well, charged out of Ruin City towards the Jackal Werewolf camp.

Over half an hour later, the contours of the Jackal Werewolf camp finally came into view for the Ruin City cavalry troop.

Inside the entire camp, flames raged high, and the clamor of battle cries was incessant.

Facing their fence, suddenly lifted open, swarms of Jackal Werewolves charged out!

What was eerie was that these Jackal Werewolves were running on all fours like mad dogs, without any weapons in hand.

“Fire! Free attack! Free attack!”

At the commanding officer’s order, tens of thousands of guns, improved by alchemy, began to fire, unleashing streaks of flame that toppled the leading Jackal Werewolves to the ground…

But even so, the group of Jackal Werewolves continued to charge like rabid dogs, with no semblance of backing down or defense.

In the sky, a large number of Griffon Knights also appeared, launching attacks on the Jackal Werewolves below.

Han Xiangyang and the others were still observing the Jackal Werewolf camp from midair.

Aside from the side facing Ruin City, where countless crazed Jackal Werewolves and Dogmen, among others, had run out and were clashing with the Human Race troops,

on another side, numerous Jackal Werewolves and Dogmen were also fleeing in disarray towards the Wind-Speaking Prairie.

Behind them, even more frenzied Jackal Werewolves and mounting wolves were in pursuit, in a state of madness.

At a greater distance, other Cave Beastmen camps inexplicably ran away when faced with their attacks, instead of sending troops to resist.

Some camps even abandoned their supplies and tents, just mounting their steeds and retreating in disarray.

The entire Wind-Speaking Prairie was filled with Jackal Werewolves, Hyena Men, and other fleeing Cave Beastman Tribe members.

From afar, it looked like a massive swarm of dark ants.

“No, something’s not right!”

Han Xiangyang realized something was amiss at this moment, his face turning somewhat pale, “This isn’t a Jackal Werewolf uprising, it’s rabies!”

“That’s right! This is canine rabies, rabies!”

“Damn it! A rabies epidemic has broken out on the Wind-Speaking Prairie!”

Chen Dongjun’s face also turned pale in shock, “Rabies? For an epidemic on such a large scale, it must be rabies with some extraordinary abilities!”

“Just like during the Great Catastrophe over three hundred years ago…!”

“Retreat! Retreat quickly!”

“Back to Ruin City! Activate the City Protection Formation, do not let any foreigners into the city!”

“Also, inform the remaining troops outside the city to station themselves and not to attack proactively!”

Han Xiangyang’s face changed as he muttered to himself, “The Rabies Virus? That’s a terrifying virus that can wipe out canine species!”
