No one had ever seen a battle like this.
There was no order, no tactics, no clear formation, and no orderly advance and retreat of the legion. All that could be seen was the most primitive chaos. Strange abhumans and beasts waved their weapons and claws wildly on the battlefield. From the beginning, the battle seemed to be completely out of control. It was not a holy battle between Order and Chaos, but a rough fight within the Chaos. Both sides were biting each other as if they were irrational, and it was almost impossible to tell who was the monster.
Perhaps in the eyes of some humans, both sides were monsters.
However, only those who knew the abhumans could see that the battlefield was not really chaotic. There was some kind of order different from the human army that controlled the situation from beginning to end. This order was based on countless abhuman tribes, tribal leaders headed by shamans and barbarian warlords, and primitive rules based on animal instincts. At the beginning of the battle, the Beast Tide was naturally divided into hundreds of small battle groups. Each battle group was a tribe, and the leader of each tribe followed the strict laws of strength to be in charge of his own area. This law once determined the hunting territory of each tribe in the Black Forest. When the alpha led them through the Black Forest, every chieftain and shaman did not forget these things that had almost become their instinct.
Powerful ancient creatures enjoyed the most hunting opportunities and the qualifications to challenge powerful enemies. That was why the behemoths charged at the forefront and were the generals of the army. Powerful tribes with the most numbers enjoyed the widest territory. They killed the minions of Chaos on the vast battlefield and were the main force of the army. Tribes with excellent magic skills enjoyed the privilege of traveling through all regions. They traveled in between, passing messages and spying for the tribes. They were the orderly corps of the army. Ultimate creatures like the black dragons and the elemental lords had transcended the rules of the Dark Forest. Only the alpha could command them. That was why they attacked the smoke pillars of Chaos under the command of the alpha. They were the super war machines of the army.
These primitive and crude methods of division were obviously not brilliant, and the "Alpha Wolf" himself was not some genius battle expert. This Magical Beast Army was still chaotic and lacked order on the whole. It was a mess compared to any human army, but to the Beast Tide, this level of order was more than enough.
The abhumans relied more on their war instincts to charge and break through enemy lines.
Tiamat, the flaming python, rolled on the ruins in front of Fort Raven. Its body, hundreds of meters long, set off a sea of fire. Countless minions of Chaos turned into ashes after its giant body rolled past. Behind the python, hundreds of flame elves, lent by the fire elemental lord, leaped out of the sea of fire. These irritable elemental creatures rushed around, spreading the uncontrollable elemental flames on every piece of land. The damage they caused was no less than that of the flaming python. After the flames subsided, Tiamat raised its head high, its vicious snake eyes gleaming with the pleasure of revenge.
As a former overlord of the Dark Forest, it had never tasted humiliation in its entire life. But when the Chaos arrived, it was chased out of its lair. Its offspring were torn apart by the Chaos, and its partner was corrupted into a puddle of mud. The territory that it had managed for half a century became a land of death in the blink of an eye. Even it had no choice but to hide in a cave to linger on its last breath. As a magical beast, although it had high intelligence, it did not have much knowledge. Therefore, it was difficult for it to understand what was going on with the storm of Chaos. But it knew that the ugly monsters that the storm brought along were its greatest enemies.
Then, the alpha appeared. She was a tiny but powerful creature. She could turn the Chaos monsters into ashes and even bestow the alpha with power so that it could fight against Chaos.
The Flaming Python Tiamat was not necessarily weaker than the Alpha Wolf, but from that moment on, it decided to follow behind the Alpha Wolf.
Because following the alpha could avenge it.
There were many individuals like Tiamat in the Beast Tide.
With just one alpha, it could only subdue an ordinary abhuman tribe, and the number was quite limited. But with the storm of Chaos behind it, the situation was completely different. No matter how powerful the creature was, even if it was a legendary creature, as long as it was alone, it could not be a match for the tide of Chaos. So when the tide of Chaos swept through the Southern Forest, countless powerful ancestral creatures lost their territories and offspring. There were also many unlucky ones who accidentally lost their lives. In the face of such a situation, the significance of an alpha who could provide indiscriminate protection in the Chaos was obvious.
In many cases, instead of saying that Lily had subdued a tribe or a certain creature, it was better to say that the Light of Order she released was like a lighthouse in the dark, automatically attracting the restless beasts in the dark.
When the forest fell into darkness, the alpha would be the only light source, and all the surviving creatures would automatically gather around her.
That was how an unimaginable army was formed.
Philip, the veteran, put his two-handed sword aside and leaned against the wall weakly. He looked at the battlefield below and exhaled softly. He could see that it was no longer his turn to fight.
The tide of Chaos was nibbling away at an alarming rate.
He saw a few lizardmen soldiers fighting with stone spears, and a giant monster using sticks and stones to repel the minions of Chaos nearby. The equipment used by this' miscellaneous army 'was ridiculously simple. But in fact, humans knew that they should not underestimate the power of the abhumans. The level of civilization of the abhumans was not as good as that of humans, and their weapons and magic skills were far behind that of humans. But they were born with extremely powerful physical strength. The skin of the monsters itself was no less than steel armor, and the teeth of the demonic wolves were as sharp and strong as the cold steel swords forged by the elves. In a one-on-one battle, a fully armed human was not necessarily better than an abhuman soldier.
The abhumans were suppressed at the border of civilized countries not because of their individual strength, but because of the disparity in group strength. The powerful barbarians were no match for the civilized countries.
But now, an alpha had integrated them, and the situation had changed.
On the battlefield, the special Light of Order on the alpha erased the natural weakness of Order in the face of Chaos, and the balance of the battlefield gradually tilted.
The power of Chaos began to decline.
After losing the advantage of the Light of Order, the minions of Chaos that were illuminated by the Light of Order were nothing more than ordinary monsters and beasts. They would weaken and die, and if they died in the Light of Order, they would never be able to return to Chaos. As the battle continued, more and more forces of Chaos dissipated in the light curtain, and the storm shrouding Fort Raven finally subsided.
The first column of smoke and dust collapsed under the dragon breath of Orduza, heralding the end of the battle.
"Boss, they are dying! Those monsters of Chaos are dying! "
A soldier next to Philip shouted, unable to hide his excitement.
"Boss, what the hell is going on today?"
Philip could only force the corners of his mouth into a smile. "How should I know? I only know we're all right. Well, as long as the beasts down there don't plan to use us as a celebration feast. "
The second column of smoke and dust collapsed under the joint attack of the Fire Elemental Lord and Fiery Python Tiamat.
Outside Fort Raven, war cries shook the sky, the earth shook, and the mountains shook. The fierce battle between the Beast Tide and the Chaos left blood and ashes on the ground, and the collapse of every pillar of smoke and dust brought a cheer in the fort. At first, only a small number of soldiers cheered because humans still did not know the origin of the Beast Tide. Facing a mysterious army that was not much cuter than Chaos, they could not be happy at all. But slowly, the cheers spread, and a rumor began to spread among the soldiers and commanders: the Beast Tide came to protect Fort Raven, and their leader had contacted the fortress commander, General Ulysses. Although these rumors were unsubstantiated, it injected a breath of vitality into the exhausted defenders.
The storm gradually subsided, and the black smoke and dust pillars collapsed one by one in the air. The minions of Chaos were torn apart, purified, and turned into dust drifting with the wind. Finally, the battlefield calmed down.
The bloodthirsty and violent imps and bear monsters were a little bloodthirsty. Some of the indigenous tribes that had just joined the Alpha seemed to be eager to fight for credit. Several tribes in the Beast Tide broke away from the formation and continued to chase the smoke of Chaos that was fading to the south. But at this time, a loud howl suddenly swept across the battlefield and brought everything back to order.
It was a wolf's howl, but it sounded a little different from a normal wolf's howl. It had a short ending sound, like a 'wu' that was forcefully swallowed. As the howl passed over the heads of the magical beasts, the intruding tribes immediately quieted down. Each of them crawled on the ground, trembling with fear. Even from the high towers, one could see that they were in awe and fear.
This made some people on the wall immediately realize that it was the voice of the Alpha.
A beasts army had risen in the southern part of the continent, and their leader was an unprecedentedly powerful Alpha. The rumor was true.
The Beast Tide quickly quieted down under the command of the Alpha. The tribes began to treat the wounded and count their manpower under the command of their respective leaders. Some of them seemed to be responsible for setting up camp, while the others were approaching the direction of Fort Raven.
Philip saw it clearly from the wall. He immediately realized that the beasts were going to settle outside the fortress, and they seemed to be coming into contact with Fort Raven.
The veteran could not help but think of the rumors that one of his men had said when talking about the Alpha.
He subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword, feeling a little nervous.
"… I'm afraid we'll see a three-headed wolf later."
