“Master, the Beast Tide is coming!”
Charlie shook Xu Hang with all his might and woke him up.
Ever since the incident with Zhao Qing Er, Charlie had made up his mind. By all means, he would wake his Master whenever something happened. He would even slap him!
Xu Hang jolted up.
Then, he quickly accessed the world chat channel to check out the situation.
What he saw shocked him.
[ System Notifications 10 000+ ]
[ Messages 1 000 000+ ]
“What’s going on?”
Xu Hang clicked on the system notification first.
[ Lord Wu Erfan had died from excessive blood loss. ]
[ Lord Luo Zhiyang had died from excessive blood loss. ]
[ Lord Guo Jimei had died from excessive blood loss. ]
…
The 10 000+ system notifications were all death notifications!
This world had finally bared its fangs and teeth at the players.
Xu Hang immediately checked on Yang Mingyue and Zhao Qing Er.
Luckily, they were still alive. He was relieved.
There were also a lot of messages from Yang Mingyue and Zhao Qing Er. They were reporting the situation to him.
Xu Hang began to read them.
Fortunately, the farmers, magic cannon, and magic four-wheeled car that he had provided to them came in useful. They were more than enough to deal with the magical beasts.
Xu Hang checked the world chat channel again. It was full of sorrow.
Some people were saying that they did not want to live anymore as the pressure was too much, while others were exploring all survival options.
There were also a few top players who were recruiting underlings. It was an effort to strengthen themselves and establish their forces.
Everything was in a state of chaos.
This world had been peaceful for too long and the players had let their guard down.
Although there were some small fights, there were never any deaths. The only Lord who died was the one that encountered a dragon beast during his exploration.
It was natural selection! Survival of the fittest!
Meanwhile, somewhere near a lake, two people were drinking tea in a pavilion that looked like it was carved out of white jade.
“These Earthlings are too unambitious.”
“They seemed to favor peace. Although I don’t understand it, I guess it’s their choice.”
“The resources in this world are limited. Do you think they can stay peaceful for long? Dream on. Those who cling to peace are nothing but losers. Mere trash.”
“What about Xu Hang? Isn’t he powerful and peaceful? So he’s powerful trash? Hahahaha.”
“When the time comes, things will change.”
“Pressure comes from competition and motivation comes from pressure. After this Beast Tide, they will enter a new era.”
“If these people aren’t pressured, they won’t grow.”
“The Beast Tide is producing results but it’s not enough!”
“Do you want to crank it up?”
One of them accessed the leaderboards and called over a subordinate.
“Yes, that’s it. Go.”
“Yes, Master! We’ll do what we did the last time?”
“As you wish.”
The person who gave the order picked up a teacup.
“The tea is still boiling hot. I’m going to add some cold water.”
“Try not to go overboard this time. It won’t be easy to explain to the higher-ups!”
“Don’t worry.”
The subordinate arrived at a dense forest. He had a magic motorcycle and two long knives. After he got on, he twisted the motorcycle’s accelerator and set off, leaving a trail of dust behind.
Xu Hang stood at the castle’s balcony and looked below. The number of beasts was almost doubled in comparison to yesterday.
Fortunately, the combat strength of the magic beasts did not increase.
Moreover, his farmers had gained a few levels.
The fight was actually slightly easier.
Occasionally, the magical beasts would group up. The soldiers would take this opportunity to make use of the catapults. It was effective in suppressing the beasts.
The battle continued to drag on and the alloy boulders had already been reused a couple of times.
“These magical beasts do not want to live.”
One of the farmers sighed. There was a hint of gentleness in his tone.
Xu Hang did not need to use the magic cannon yet.
As for Yang Mingyue, he had studied the magical beasts’ attack pattern. The formation that he came up with was successful in holding the beasts back. Xu Hang’s farmers also helped significantly.
The magical beasts had a hard time penetrating through Yang Mingyue’s defense.
Basically, Yang Mingyue was victorious!
He made use of all his resources, including level 1 soldiers!
Furthermore, he still had the magic cannon!
His plan was foolproof.
Even though the number of magical beasts had increased, it was not a big deal.
He also had an easier time dealing with them compared to yesterday.
As Yang Mingyue stabbed a beast with his sword, he laughed and said, “Hahahaha, this is war!”
On the other hand, Zhao Qing Er was not as scheming as Yang Mingyue, but she could deal with the beasts too.
Some of the little elves that Zhao Qing Er befriended last night followed her back to her territory.
They helped her make some very effective recovery potions.
The potions managed to heal and save her troops.
Not only did the potion restore the health of her soldiers and Xu Hang’s farmers, but it also greatly decreased their fatigue.
Plus, there were no side effects.
In other words, Zhao Qing Er had the ability to fight the beasts indefinitely!
Furthermore, the beasts’ corpses provided a lot of materials.
With the help of the little elves, Zhao Qing Er managed to make artificial magic crystals which were used to power the magic cannon.
With that, her troops were much more relaxed.
Xu Hang looked at the catapults, farmers, and magic cannons.
“I’m the boss but why do I feel weaker than them?!”
His farmers really provided him a lot of opportunities..
