What was the alpha thinking?
In fact, most of the time, our Miss Alpha Wolf didn't even think about anything. Even when she gathered a Magical Beast Army, her mind would always be a mess. Lily's behavior was as unpredictable as her race. She always made big news when she was confused. Just like when she was in the Black Forest, she was surprised that she had millions of followers in the blink of an eye. Today, she was surprised that she suddenly wanted to build a city.
Usually, the husky tore the sofa cushion into pieces when the owner was not around, and then turned around when the owner opened the door. That was probably what she was thinking. What the hell did I do?
Of course, Lily was much better than the ordinary husky. At least she knew that she should be unpredictable at this time. So when she saw the strange expression on General Ulysses' face, she nodded majestically. "The abhumans are also intelligent creatures. It's just that they live in the wilderness and evolve a little slower than you humans. If you humans can build houses, why can't the abhumans?"
Ulysses was conflicted in his mind. He could not refute Lily's words, so he just hummed a few perfunctory words.
Lily looked at the vast wilderness. In the vast wilderness outside Fort Raven, the power of Chaos had been temporarily isolated. A layer of shimmer floated on the wilderness, forming an amazing protective barrier. Under this barrier, there were beasts wandering around like a swarm of insects.
Each abhuman tribe had three to four leaders with the amulet of the alpha's fur. They were tribal leaders, shamans, warriors, or prophets. These tribes were active in the wilderness and on the edge of the forest, so they had expanded the scope of the barrier of Order to where they were active. Lily contributed nearly half of the fluff on her tail to shelter the entire wilderness.
The Chaos was suppressed in the Black Forest. Looking from Fort Raven, there was a layer of black smoke floating at the end of the wilderness. It was the power of Chaos hovering over the Black Forest. But after the last battle, the storm had temporarily subsided. Obviously, it was badly injured and could not organize a new attack in a short time.
"The Beast Tide needs a place to take root. When they leave the forest, they need to find a new way of life in a new place." Lily thought for a moment and finally remembered the reason why she decided to build a city. "Do you know what is the difference between the Beast Tide and your human army?"
Calaxus looked at her curiously. "Please enlighten me, Alpha."
"The Beast Tide is not an army, but a migration of the entire tribe. We do not have a logistics system and a clear division between the military and the people like you do. Of course, we do not have a base camp or fortress," Lily said slowly. At this moment, she finally looked like an Alpha. "I don't know if there is a thing called locusts in your world. It is a swarm of insects that blots out the sky and devours all the harvest in their path. My Beast Tide is similar to that. Since we don't have any logistics, we have to fight to sustain ourselves. As we walk, we eat. Millions of soldiers gather together and we 'harvest' everything along the way. If you can send someone to fly over the Black Forest, you will understand: the migration route of the Beast Tide is clear at a glance. We have carved out a huge ravine in the Black Forest. We have eaten everything, not even a single blade of grass. "
General Ulysses' forehead gradually broke into a cold sweat. He had vaguely guessed all this when he first saw the Beast Tide. But the truth was especially frightening when it came from the mouth of the alpha.
What he did not know was that the truth was far more exaggerated than what Lily had described.
There were more than one or two races in the beast tide. It was an army made up of all the abhumans in the Dark Forest. Carnivorous, herbivorous, and omnivorous races were not a big deal. But there were also weird species such as elemental creatures, shadow creatures, and the undead. What did they eat?
It was no exaggeration to say that Lily's Beast Tide had left a scorched ravine in the Black Forest from the south to the north. Wherever the army passed, even the soil had been chewed down by two and a half meters. Not to mention that not even a blade of grass could grow, if they came a few more times, they would probably dig up the oil and drink it...
Lily glanced at General Ulysses. "You don't want us to keep this momentum and directly bite through your Fort Raven, do you?"
The Governor of the Western Region nodded stiffly. "No doubt."
"So, I have to think of other ways to let them feed themselves, and not to bite into your human territory," Lily pointed to the Great Wilderness. "One Great Wilderness is not necessarily enough, so we need the mountains near the Great Wilderness and part of the forest in the south. In order to stock up on supplies, we also need warehouses and houses, so building a city is essential. Now there is a settlement at the east and west ends of the wilderness. Later, these two points will be connected and eventually become a big city. Outside the city, I have planned hunting grounds and planting areas, but in the initial stage, we will mainly rely on hunting grounds to provide food. To be honest, the abhumans are really not good at building. I really don't know what the city I designed for them will look like. But there are some smart guys among them, so it should not be too much trouble. "
General Ulysses blinked. "Can't …" Can they really do that? It's not easy for humans to feed such a huge population. "
"It is difficult for humans, but it may be easy for them." Lily grinned. "The biggest difference between the abhumans and you is that they have the ability to feed themselves as long as there is a big enough hunting ground. Every adult individual in the Beast Tide is a hunter and a producer. As long as they enter the black forest, they can feed themselves. The storm of Chaos has forced all the animals in the forest to the north. Now the prey on the edge of the forest is so abundant that they can't finish it. My tribe has amulets, so they can forage freely in the depths of the forest. Do you humans have this ability? "
Ulysses listened to the vision described by the alpha. He had never heard of these things in his family's book collection and the aristocratic academy. He murmured, "It seems to make sense. So, are you going to live in the wilderness? "
"Me? I have my own things to do. "To Ulysses' surprise, the alpha shook her head." The chiefs I appointed will take care of everything here, and then I will leave here to find my landlord! "
When she said this, there was a very happy expression on her face, happier than she had ever looked before. It was as if she was about to achieve a major goal in life.
"Find … landlord?" Ulysses could not keep up with the alpha again. "You said you want to give up your … legion? Just to find someone? "
"Yes, yes," Lily nodded and said matter-of-factly, "They were an accident. Now that I've arranged an escape route for them, I don't have to worry about the rest of the things. And to be honest, if I really lead such a large group of people to your territory to find someone … you guys can't accept it, can you? "
It was rare that the intelligent husky could be so understanding.
When Ulysses heard this, he felt that it seemed to make sense. However, the problem was that this was a million beast wave! Finding a place with good Fengshui and standing there would be a Beast Tide that could establish a nation! The leader of the Beast Tide could be on an equal footing with the monarchs of other kingdoms! In the end, the person in front of her was ready to leave without any reluctance. It was as if it was really an accident for her to raise this army, and the great cause of building a powerful army and a country were all fleeting. It was nothing compared to meeting the so-called "landlord" once!
"Who is the landlord you are looking for?" Not only Ulysses, but even Calaxus was a little surprised. He knew that the alpha had been looking for her landlord, but he did not expect that the alpha would give up her legion. "Did he do you a great favor?"
Lily thought carefully for a moment. "He gave me a place to live, and he even provided me with food! But I gave him three hundred dollars a month for rent. "
Calaxus and Ulysses were dumbfounded.
"Is the alpha always like this?" The governor of the western region could not help but whisper to the high-ranking monk.
The high-ranking monk's face was stiff. "Always like this. She has her own set of logic."
"Did something happen to her?"
"It's hard to say. It looks like an accident that she is alone in the Savage Land."
Lily's ears flickered. "My hearing is good."
"Ahem."
After a moment of awkwardness, Ulysses nodded to Lily. "Since the alpha has her own arrangements, I have no say in it. I wish you can find your benefactor as soon as possible. But how are you going to find him? Taros is a vast country, and it is not easy to find someone in the vast sea of people. "
Lily scratched her hair. "Where is the most populous place in your country?"
"This … should be the royal capital, White City, which is the most populous city in Taros."
"Then I will go to White City. How do I get there?"
Ulysses thought for a moment. "Well, I will send a team of knights to go with you. They can take you to White City. But now that the airships of Fort Raven have been damaged in the previous battle, you can only travel by land. I am afraid it will take some time. "
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Maybe we will bump into Mr. Landlord on the way!" Lily's eyes lit up. "But don't you need manpower? Why are you arranging a guide for me in this situation? "
"I have planned to send them to White City." Duke Ulysses smiled bitterly. "The Tide of Chaos has interfered with the magic network communication between the border and the royal capital. The battle a few days ago had completely destroyed a magic relay point. The sorcerers may not be able to repair it in a short time. I need to send soldiers directly to the royal capital to deliver the message."
"Oh, that's great." Lily nodded happily and turned to look at Calaxus. "Uncle, aren't you leaving too? Why don't we go together? We can take the smoked meat with us. If we meet Mr. Landlord, he may have a way to figure out the origin of the meat. "
Calaxus did not know why the alpha was so sure that she could find her landlord, but there was no reason to refuse the invitation. "Okay, I will go back and arrange it." Calaxus nodded.
While the alpha wolf and the high-level cultivator were planning a trip to White City, a Big Dipper was also rushing toward the south through the Green Field Plain in the hinterland of the kingdom, stirring up billowing smoke and dust.
