Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 97 Warning of the Beast Tide: All Measures Taken. (13)

This time, the monster horde in the Monster Mountain Range was not just the one led by the dragon.

Below the Kingdom of Eagles, in the western border, lies another human kingdom called the Kingdom of Thorns.

Like the Kingdom of Eagles, the Kingdom of Thorns also has two duchies in the western border and extends south to the coastal region.

This time, in the Monster Mountain Range, besides one wave led by two wyverns, there was another wave on the other side led by two non-wyvern tier-nine monsters.

This beast tide will simultaneously attack the four major duchies in the western border of the human kingdoms.

On the other hand, the red dragon parted ways with the earth dragon when they approached the outer mountains of the Monster Mountain Range.

It was already heading towards the outer mountains of the grasslands. Clearly, this flying red dragon would lead the beast tide to attack the Green Vine Duchy, one of the two major duchies in the western border of the Eagle Kingdom.

The Earth Dragon was clearly responsible for attacking the Silver Lion Duchy under the Eagle Kingdom.

Having just survived a civil war, the Eagle Kingdom is now suddenly facing another racial war with Warcraft. It's easy to imagine that this time, the Eagle Kingdom is in deep trouble.

As for the Thorn Kingdom, we don't know, but it certainly won't fare well against the sudden rise of the Monster Mountain Range.

Even now, neither of these two duchies is aware that the monster tide has arrived.

Just as a dense horde of beasts began to appear atop the mountain, the Shadow Wind Giant Eagle soared into the sky.

When it saw the terrifying horde of monsters appearing behind the outer mountain, its entire eagle went numb.

"Oh no!!!"

The Shadowwind Giant Eagle already knew to some extent about the differences between Lin Ke and the Rock Steel Dragon, so it panicked and used the power of the contract to notify the Rock Steel Dragon of the coming monster tide.

Lin Ke, who had just logged off, had no idea about any of this. Now, everything depended on the Rock Steel Dragon clone's judgment while it was AFK.

Upon receiving the message from the Shadowwind Giant Eagle, the Rock Steel Giant Dragon, which had been resting on the magic crystal mine, suddenly stood up.

Subsequently, through the power of the contract, the Rock Steel Dragon immediately drew all its blood-bonded pets to it.

At the same time, several low-level flying magical beasts quickly began issuing commands across the wasteland.

And so, the entire wasteland stirred into a frenzy.

A large number of low-level magical beasts began to converge on the swamp territory in the direction of the Rock Steel Dragon.

However, only the nearly one hundred nearby magical beasts were able to lead their herds to the scene immediately during this process.

Meanwhile, the monsters further away have already been summoned by mid-level monsters from the outer mountains of the Monster Mountain Range.

These magical beasts were too terrified to move, and even defected without a second thought.

In just five hours, the number of monsters that could gather towards the swamp territory was less than ten thousand.

As for the advanced magical beasts, the fast ones ignored the herd and one of them sneaked up to the side of the Rock Steel Dragon.

In this way, being able to gather a hundred advanced magical beasts is already a pretty good situation!
As for the Swamp Territory, York received a warning from the Rock Steel Dragon and his expression immediately changed drastically.

At the same time, militia members from various localities were quickly mobilized to ring drums and bells throughout the towns.

In an instant, the entire swamp territory was plunged into confusion and fear.

The drumbeats signaled the coming of the beast tide, and not just a small beast tide, but the kind of warning that signaled a racial war.

Upon receiving the news, large numbers of mercenaries and transient populations began to flee rapidly out of the swamp territory.

York doesn't know if these people can escape, but escaping is better than not escaping!

All York could do was get all his subjects and slaves into the castle quickly, and even make use of the newly built outer castle at the training ground for the assassins.

However, there are simply too many migrant workers, and many of them cannot leave immediately.

Therefore, fortunately, several bishops of the Church of Truth also took action.

They had the more than three hundred missionaries who had followed them, all possessing extraordinary powers, begin using earth magic to rapidly construct one earthen structure after another fortified with rock and soil.

At the same time, it accommodated a large number of migrant workers and believers.

This did reduce some of the chaos.

But this oracle is a warning of a massive beast tide!

It was an uprising deep within the Monster Mountains.

Even the two high-ranking bishops at this moment showed deep worry on their faces.

Although magical beasts grow slower than humans, most magical beasts of the same level are stronger than humans.

Although humans can rely on magical items, even magical armor and weapons, to fight against monsters, in the end, the power of a small newly promoted viscountry, or even the power of two high-ranking bishops, is absolutely insufficient to stop a beast tide of this scale.

Little did they know that, under the sudden attack of the entire Elven race, three duchies in the Eastern Territory of humanity lost most of their territory in the first instance.

The monster tide was absolutely superior to the power of the elves.

Of course, there's no need to stop the swamp territories.

Even if a Warcraft wave erupts, it's unlikely to be concentrated on attacking humans on the front lines.

But faced with the possibility of attacks from several high-level magical beasts, or even a siege by tens of thousands of magical beasts, everyone's faces showed deep worry.

As for escaping?
Where else can they escape to?

Do they not want their people anymore?
You don't want the territory anymore?
Although York's father, Baron Eric, initially tried to persuade York to give up the territory.

But upon closer reflection, the entire Silver Lion Duchy might not be spared from a beast tide of this scale, so where could they possibly escape to?
Furthermore, there are still two high-ranking bishops in the Swamp Territory, more than ten mid-ranking clergy, and over two hundred low-ranking missionaries.

This force is already quite strong.

Its defenses are no weaker than those of the Great Princess City.

Holding on might offer a sliver of hope, but failing to do so could result in immeasurable losses.

Therefore, Eric did not try to dissuade him, and even began to help York with the affairs of taking in the inhabitants.

At the same time, the Swamp Territory quickly used magical pigeons to warn the Colorado Highlands and even other territories in the West.

As for how the war will turn out, that's beyond the Swamp Territory's consideration.

During the process of accommodating the inhabitants, York and six bishops, including Oleg, quickly regrouped. Standing atop the city walls, they gazed at the large crowds crying and shouting around the territory, their expressions grave.

"There's no mistake! I just used the magic mirror from the sky to see that the magic power in the Monster Mountain Range has become extremely turbulent, and I also discovered that a large number of monsters are gathering in a certain place."

"This beast tide may have been caused by the elves! And it is very likely that the high elves took the initiative to contact the high-level magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

"It seems the Elven race had been planning this war in the Eastern Territory for a long time!"

"In addition, I observe that Your Majesty's proxy seems to have gathered a group of low-level magical beasts, but I don't yet know what this proxy plans to do."

Bishop Mars, one of the two high-ranking officials, was now anxiously telling everyone what he had just witnessed.

"Your Majesty's mortal lineage is of dragon descent; if handled properly, there should be no problem."

"But the Swamp Territory is currently the most troublesome! I wonder if His Majesty's divine decree has been passed down to that proxy?"

Oleg spoke, looking at York with a worried expression.

York looked grave.

He may have felt fear at first, or even felt it was intense, but he has calmed down now.

After all, he was given a second chance at life.

Even if this beast tide really destroys the Swamp Territory, it will only return everything to His Majesty.

However, York firmly believed that His Majesty, the great and benevolent, would never abandon His Son.

Therefore, York felt at peace.

So, facing the many gazes, York said solemnly:

"I am not entirely clear about the situation of the proxy at the moment, and there should be no divine oracle for the time being, but I firmly believe that Your Majesty is watching everything."

"But we cannot rely solely on Your Majesty's and the gods' favor."

"Gentlemen, the monster tide will definitely not only attack our side. According to previous records, it will definitely be a dispersed attack."

"I believe that even without His Majesty's power, with the help of the truth power of the bishops, the Swamp Territory should be able to withstand it!"

As he spoke, York suddenly paused, then his expression softened and he said:

"Your Excellencies, His Excellency the Acting Chief has sent new information."

Upon hearing York's words, the bishops immediately became curious.

"How will Your Excellency send a message?"

"Has Your Majesty delivered a new divine decree?"

Several bishops inquired, and York immediately replied:
"There was no divine decree, but His Excellency the Acting Body has already made arrangements."

"He has summoned more than 10,000 monsters, intending to surround all the monsters around the towns of the swamp territory in order to block the possible beast tide heading towards the swamp territory."

"In addition, His Excellency also instructed us to keep the people in the territory as quiet as possible. He will arrange for flying magical beasts to circle in large numbers over the territory, and at the same time arrange for herds of beasts to roam some streets in the town, so as to avoid being noticed."

Upon hearing York's words, the eyes of the bishops immediately lit up.

"Great idea! That's a good idea!"

"It seems that the wisdom of dragons who have received divine favor is indeed extraordinary."

Oligo was the first to express his praise.

"That's true. Monsters are generally not very intelligent. When they think that our place has been overrun by the beast horde, they will definitely go elsewhere!"

"Even high-level magical beasts can usually be fooled if you don't pay attention."

"In that case, we should also take some covert measures."

As he spoke, Bishop Eamon suddenly flew into the sky.

It then descended to the highest point of the main castle.

Looking at the totem banners hanging on the roof of the main castle, Amon didn't think much of it. Instead, he suddenly took out a high-level item from his magic bag.

The Church of Truth has a long history and possesses many high-level items.

The high-level artifact that Bishop Emon took out looked like an ordinary gray cloth.

The next moment, as he activated the cloth with his magic, the gray cloth seemed to swell in the wind.

It's getting bigger and bigger, and thinner and thinner.

In a sudden, instantaneous moment, the cloth obscured most of the sky above the castle.

From the outside, the castle appears as if most of its central part has disappeared.

The scene that was revealed was a ruin resembling dilapidated walls.

Inside, the sun still shines brightly.

After doing all this, Bishop Eamon returned to the crowd.

"Although my 'magical concealment can't cover the entire main castle, it should be enough."

"Unless a high-level magical beast flies low overhead directly above the castle, it should be difficult to detect the magical aura within."

"It would be best if we could avoid a direct confrontation with the beast tide, but it all depends on our luck."

Seeing the scene before him, York nodded with delight:

"Thank you, Bishop Emon. We've done everything we could. Now, let fate decide!"

"I believe Your Majesty's divine favor will surely protect us!"

"I hope so~"
