The lizardmen scouts returned safely, proving that the fur on the amulet could still provide a powerful protection even when away from the body. This made Lily very happy. Although she still could not figure out why she suddenly glowed, she realized that she had become a very powerful person. This made her so happy that she could not wait to find an open space and roll around a few times — if it were not for the presence of so many subordinates.
At the moment, she had to maintain her dignity as the alpha.
The lizardman shaman and his chief warrior knelt respectfully in front of the "throne" of the alpha. The throne was actually a flat boulder in the forest, covered with a thick layer of fur. But no one dared to underestimate the weight of this simple throne. The skin on the boulder came from a forest tooth beast, a terrible behemoth that once dominated the largest territory in the Black Forest for half a century. It was so powerful that it could split mountains and split rocks. Countless beasts and even human hunters had died under its sharp teeth and claws. Even the southern knights of the Kingdom of Taros regarded it as a huge threat and listed the territory of the tooth beast as one of the forbidden areas in the Black Forest.
However, the fanged beast was defeated within ten rounds of fighting with the alpha wolf. The alpha wolf directly smashed the neck of the terrifying behemoth, and then forcibly tore its head off its body.
The flesh and blood of the former ruler of the forest had become a delicacy in the stomachs of the alpha wolf and her trusted subordinates, and her fur had become a cushion on the throne. The powerful leader from the floating island in the south was now the ruler of the Dark Forest, the lizardman shaman thought.
The alpha, wearing a wolf skin cloak, sat lazily on her throne, listening to the lizardman's report while fiddling with a strand of hair on her forehead. She had a lot of trophies on her body: a necklace of sharp teeth, two beast skulls hanging on her waist, and some ornaments made of animal skin and bone pieces. The trophies made the alpha look majestic. These spoils of war came from the primitive tribes in the Black Forest that were once so powerful that people would tremble at the sound of their names. But now, these tribes had either become part of the beast tide or had become part of the food.
"It's just like what the ascetic uncle said. The Storm of Chaos this time is really powerful. Even the human defense line couldn't withstand it." Lily yawned. Ever since she started glowing, she had not been able to solve the problem of lack of sleep. Fortunately, she had gotten used to it recently. "How far do you think the smoking towns are from here?"
"A day's journey," the lizardman shaman replied respectfully. "Based on the speed of the last few days."
"That's pretty close." Lily blinked. "Did you see any monsters on the way?"
"There are shadows at the edge of the mist," the lizardman shaman replied. "But not many."
Lily looked to the side. The high-ranking monk, Calaxus, was now standing on the side of the throne as her 'adviser'. The glorious Sanctum did not seem to have any qualms about becoming the 'adviser' of the Behemoth Army. Many of his young men were complaining about their current situation, lamenting that the people of the Sanctum had to work with the beasts. But the wise monk felt that at least he could continue to fight the Chaos, and the current situation was good enough. Noticing the alpha's gaze, the high-ranking monk nodded. "According to the lizardman, the storm of Chaos had just swept past the first line of defense in the south. Even the endless power of the Chaos would be depleted after facing the desperate resistance of the humans, and it would take some time for them to regroup. So there would not be too many monsters of Chaos in the border area. But this situation should only last for another two to three days. After two or three days, the Chaos will regroup and be even stronger than before. At that time, the second line of defense in the south of Taros will probably be in jeopardy. "
"The human kingdom is so weak." Lily shook her head. "I don't know if Mr. Landlord will be okay."
After saying that, she looked around at her subordinates.
The demonic wolf, as the unquestionable chief confidant of the alpha, still had a seat closest to the throne even though its wisdom and strength were not among the top of the beasts. Next to the demonic wolf was the leader of the forest demonic apes and the representatives of the sanctum investigation team. Further away, there were imps, goblins, lizardmen, bear monsters, and gnolls. The leaders and representatives of various tribes had gathered here, forming a ring around the alpha.
Lily called it the "Ring of Beasts", and it was the commander level of her army.
Only a small part of the beasts were qualified to be here. They were the representatives of various tribes, and only the more powerful beasts were qualified to send their representatives. Farther away from this open space, there were countless weak third-tier and even fourth-tier tribes gathered together. They did not even have the qualification to send their leaders to meet the alpha. Only in a special meeting convened by Lily could those weak leaders speak to the alpha.
Calaxus also looked up and followed Lily's line of sight deeper into the forest.
Although he could not see it, he could feel the huge presence hidden in the depths of the dense forest and bushes.
It was not the strength of the individual, but the sheer number of the group.
Countless abhumans gathered in this place under the protection of the alpha. They were chaotic, noisy, and lacking in order. But with the instinct of the beast and the powerful presence of the alpha, they formed a terrifying force. They were clearly divided into factions, but they were united in the black forest. In every open space in the forest, in every depression and high platform, in the beast caves, in the swamps, on the crowns and under the shadows of the towering trees, there were tens of thousands of tribes, and they were growing stronger every day.
Ah, Calaxus could not help but sigh. He had studied the ancient scrolls in Sanctum for many years, but he did not expect that there were so many abhumans hiding on the edge of human civilization in this world.
This force was no longer a group of beasts. It had far exceeded the size of the beasts. The team that set off from the southern floating island by hot air balloon had now expanded into an army. Calaxus had given it a name: the Beast Tide.
And the alpha recognized the name.
While Calaxus was lost in thought, Lily was also paying attention to her army. The smell of the beasts drifted into her nostrils, and the slightest movement in the black forest could not escape her five senses, which had been strengthened by various treasures. After sensing the edge of the Beast Tide, Lily's eyes glowed slightly. She was thinking about a question.
Sweet and sour pork ribs! Why do I have so many people under me? When did this bunch of messy fellows gather together like this?
Lily sat there, thinking about the formation of her army. She finally realized that the expansion of the team happened shortly after she entered the black forest. At that time, she had already caught the fog tentacle monster that appeared in her nightmare.
It was a lukewarm morning, or it might have been noon, but our Alpha was in a good mood after catching a monster, and feeling that she had another toy to show off to her landlord, she marched on through the forest with her little companions in high spirits, while the migrating party she had brought from the southern island followed in a hubbub. As they walked, a group of abhumans living in the forest jumped out. They seemed to be lizardmen, goblins, or more or less the same. These abhumans probably did not notice the large team behind them, or they were a little confused by the chaotic atmosphere in the forest. Anyway, they jumped in front of Lily, shouting that they were the ones who opened the mountain and planted the trees. Anyway, that was what they meant. In short, it was a robbery.
Then the alpha smacked them away with a brick. Maybe she used a lot of bricks to send them all flying. Anyway, it was more or less the same.
Then she subdued a tribe of lizardmen, or maybe goblins.
After that, this kind of thing happened. Lily nodded. It kept happening.
A variety of indigenous abhumans jumped out from various corners. Some were originally hiding in the burrows but were dug out by the beasts (a group of cavemen was one such example). These confused abhumans were in the Chaos Fog, and when they opened their eyes, they saw a huge army in front of them. Some of them were scared out of their wits, some ran away, and some were delirious and launched suicide attacks (most of the suicide attacks got what they wanted, but only half of them succeeded, which was suicide). A considerable number of the abhumans were beaten up by the alpha or the alpha's companions, so they bowed their heads and worshipped the abhumans.
The number of beasts increased, gradually like a tide, flooding the Black Forest. Of course, the number of primitive tribes that could be encountered along the way also increased. Gradually, the movement of the Beast Tide even shocked some ancient and powerful creatures deep in the earth. These ancient creatures were cunning, cruel, violent, and powerful. Usually, they could not be stewed in one pot. The alpha's way of handling them was to cook them in one pot with original flavor and another pot with slight spiciness.
However, there were also some intelligent progenitor creatures that could communicate with them. These powerful monsters of the Dark Forest had now become the valiant generals of the beast tide. They included a blazing python, an ancient earth dragon, a few powerful elemental creatures, and even a strange black dragon that lived alone.
These powerful creatures were not necessarily subdued by the power of the alpha, but they could not refuse a beacon of order in the dark. In this moment of chaos, as long as Lily was still so bright, any creature with a certain level of intelligence would be willing to follow her.
In this way, the alpha led her Beast Tide in the Black Forest. Along the way, the indigenous creatures bowed to them, bowed to them, bowed to them, bowed to them, bowed to them, bowed to them, bowed to them, bowed to them …
"No wonder I feel that there are more and more people." Lily suddenly clapped her hands, startling the distracted Calaxus.
The high-ranking monk looked at the strange 'chosen one' curiously. "Alpha?"
"Nothing." Lily got to her feet and flung her wolf skin cloak behind her. "We have rested enough. Wolf pups, go and inform the tribes. Let's go to the human's territory! "
In the Black Forest, the beasts were agitated.
The mighty Beast Tide poured out of the forest. The most shocking Beast Tide in the history of Collow had begun.
