After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them sat down to discuss serious matters.

Wu Cheng got straight to the point and asked, "In the days leading up to the beast horde attack, was there anything unusual in the town?"

Zheng Qianshan thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "Those days were just like any other, so no one was on guard. When the beast horde suddenly attacked, we suffered heavy losses."

"Think carefully!" Wu Cheng said in a deep voice, "I've already investigated the terrain around Jiashan Town and the surrounding mountains. There are traces of beast activity on all four mountains. Judging by those traces, the beasts were divided into three groups. They charged out from the east, west, and south mountains, attacked Jiashan Town, and then retreated from the northern mountain. When the beasts attacked the town's walls, it wasn't a chaotic assault. It was premeditated, with a clear objective, directly targeting the three weak points of the town's walls. So, it wasn't a case of the beasts going berserk, nor was it a coincidence!"
