Along the way, spies would occasionally send out messages from the front. Most of these spies were from the Secret Service, and a few were from the army.

This news was almost the same as well. The army of the savage beasts under the city was steady, but no one knew what they were discussing or what plans they had. However, the two armies were in a stalemate and did not take action.

To be honest, if he were to make a move, it would definitely be because the other side of the city was at a disadvantage. This time, the army of two hundred thousand barbarians and beastmen had a physique that was on par with five humans.

Although it was only two hundred thousand, it was comparable to a million human army.

On the other hand, other than the original army here, along with the help from the others and the army of Iron Wall City, they only had a total of six hundred thousand soldiers.

It was obvious that the Mystic Fragrance Empire was at a disadvantage. However, their only advantage was that they had city walls to protect them from the army of barbarian beasts.

Very soon, the appearance of the city appeared in front of Chu Yuan. It was a very shabby city, with countless battle scars on its surface. One could imagine just how many battles the city had experienced.

It was a good thing that the city was protected by the towering city walls, which were twenty meters high.

Behind them, there was a secret passage leading the citizens to escape. Evidently, this battle had led to the weakening of the city. The army of savage beasts had been attacking six cities consecutively for the past few months, and their momentum was unstoppable.

As for the Mystic Fragrance Empire, they were constantly retreating. After losing six cities in a row, their momentum had long since weakened.

Finally, the army of savage beasts made their move!

At this moment, the sky and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds tumbled.

Even though he was only ten miles away, Chu Mu could still feel the earth shaking violently. It was like an earthquake, and all the tigers, leopards, wolves, birds, and beasts in the surroundings had all fled in the blink of an eye.

Chu very suddenly stopped and ordered the scouts to go ahead and ask for news.

At this moment, it was not appropriate for him to advance any further.

He should first let the battle in front of him continue for a bit before he set off again. Otherwise, if he were to rush over now, it would just be right in front of the army of savage beasts.

These barbarians and beastmen were two to three times taller than humans. Therefore, the city could only be defended by the city walls. However, the most fearsome aspect of the barbarian beast army was the siege. The Eagle Beastmen and other flying beastmen could easily fly up to the city walls and engage in close combat.

One hundred thousand people were fighting the wind-type beastmen on the city walls. At the same time, they had to guard against the other barbarian armies that were climbing up from the city walls.

On the other side of the city wall, there were soldiers waiting for them. As soon as their numbers dwindled, they would immediately join the battle.

As for the barbarian beastmen army, they didn't have any siege vehicles, ladders, or other war equipment. They were just human sandbags, stacked on top of each other, using the body of an elephant to form ladders and climb the city walls.

The brutality of the war was not good.

The army of savage beasts was born for the sake of war. Their bodies were the most effective weapon in the battle, and even with the city walls, they wouldn't be able to stop the army of savage beasts.

At this moment, a sword light flashed on top of the city wall. Thirty barbarian soldiers were killed by this sword light. Then, several powerful auras appeared on top of the city wall, sweeping away the army of barbarian beasts that had climbed up from the edge of the city.

These few people were True Essence Dou Zongs from within the city. Chu Mu had already started to head towards the Jiu Guan city. Looking from afar, he could see a few familiar faces. There was Wu Yaotian, Mystical Black Iron, East Yi Mu, and Chu Fei Shen. These were the four great experts of Iron Wall City.

There were four True Origin Stage cultivators and two others. Judging from their clothing, Chu Tian knew who they were.

Two great true essence fighters, Lu Zelei and Li Kui Yuan.

These two were very old, almost 40 years old. They were old generals and had been guarding the border for a long time. They were also the two commanders of Zhen Guan City.

There were a total of six True Origin Stage cultivators fighting on top of the city walls. Each stroke of each battle skill could kill dozens of barbarian beasts. This greatly reduced the pressure on the soldiers on the city walls.

With the addition of a True Essence Dou Zhe, the situation was slightly better.

However, at this moment, an expert from the army of savage beasts also took action. True essence warriors' auras were different from that of other people. If one used their spiritual force to sense it, then the minds of others would be like a wisp of smoke. The thicker the smoke, the larger the cultivation of the people.

By relying on his formidable mental strength, Chu Tianjiao was able to easily determine how many true essence fighters were fighting in the army this time around.

There were a total of seven of them!

Seven true essence warriors were not a joke. The barbarians and the beastmen were much stronger than the humans. Humans were not a match for the ordinary barbarians or the beastmen.

Not to mention a True Origin Dou Zhe, even if the barbarians and the beastmen had just advanced, they would still be able to compete with a human who had advanced to the second layer of True Origin!

Chu Feng could also feel that among the barbarians and the beastmen, only three of them were very strong. The other four had weak auras. It seemed that they had only just advanced a short while ago.

Seeing this situation, Chu Mu was suddenly enlightened. He finally understood why the army of the savage beasts had stopped stationed their troops when they were attacking the six cities. The reason was precisely because of these four newly advanced True Origin Dou Zongs.

Chu Yu had speculated about the reason why the army of savage beasts had not moved. At that time, he had thought of two things, one was to reorganize and rest after taking down six cities in one go. The second reason was that the two armies were originally a united team, and after obtaining benefits, they had been inappropriately divided. There had been internal conflicts.

In the end, the reason why the army of savage beasts stopped their advance was because four members of their army were about to advance to the True Origin Stage.

True essence warriors were the killing machines on the battlefield. Every single one of them had a huge impact on the final outcome of the war.

Since the barbarians and the beastmen had four cultivators about to advance to the True Origin Stage, it was naturally worth it for them to stop the battle and protect the cultivators who were about to advance.

If he knew in advance that there were four cultivators within this army of savage beasts that were about to advance to the True Origin Stage, then no matter what methods the Empire thought of, they would have to go and assassinate them. As long as they killed a True Origin Dou Zhe that was about to advance, it would be a great achievement.

It was a pity that these four people had already successfully advanced and were now facing the siege of seven great true essence warriors. However, they didn't have any other tricks up their sleeves …
