The emissary of this stronghold was called Alger. Due to the strength Yang Rui had unintentionally displayed, the following conversation was exceptionally smooth. Alger almost agreed to all of Yang Rui's suggestions and even took the initiative to recommend Yang Rui to other strongholds on Death Island.
In this way, things were much simpler. After the general direction was set, the content of the conversation was focused on the beast tide and other matters on Death Island.
Yang Rui learned more about the Death Island from Alger. Just like what the NPC Magician had learned, the Death Island was a place of exile for various civilizations in the Otherworld. It was surrounded by a vast sea. Due to the existence of a flight ban, no one on the Death Island had ever left.
Alger and the others did not know exactly how big the Sea of Exile was. The exiles on the island had all been sent to the Sea of Death through teleportation matrixes, magic matrixes, and so on. The exiles who were able to reach the Island of Death, the legendary Island of Happiness, and Golden Island were only a small portion of the lucky ones. Most of them had long been eaten by the sea beasts in the Sea of Exile!
Alger, on the other hand, knew more about the monster horde. Just as Yang Rui had learned, the monster horde would occur once a month. The shortest would be three to five days, and the longest would be seven to eight days. The exact scale and duration of the monster horde depended on the frequency of NPCs' daily activities on Death Island.
As long as they didn't cause too much of a commotion, it wouldn't affect the Dark Tide. This was also the reason why the NPCs on Death Island chose to carry out their activities at night.
Every time the Beast Tide happened, all the residents on Death Island, no matter where they were, would be teleported to the Beast Fighting Arena. Accept the test of the beast tide.
After teleporting into the Beast Fighting Arena. During the time when the Beast Tide happened. They couldn't leave normally, so they couldn't resupply during the Beast Tide. They could only prepare for the Beast Tide before they teleported.
After the Beast Tide occurred, they would attack separately. Among them, there were Beast Tides on land, and there were also Beast Tides like the ones Yang Rui had encountered before. The 16 arches of the Colosseum and the top were all open. When the Beast Tide surged in, the defenders would face a lot of pressure.
The NPCs on the island were all familiar with the characteristics of the Beast Tide. Moreover, he had always been paying attention to the abnormal movements that triggered the Monster Horde. Every time the Monster Horde occurred, the Monster Horde on Death Island would survive. The NPCs' casualties were not serious. In fact, most of the time, the NPCs would not be killed.
However, if special circumstances were to occur, the scale and duration of the Beast Tide would change, and there would be more variables.
Several monster hordes had occurred on Death Island in the past. Every time, the NPC residents on the island would suffer heavy casualties. These monster hordes were not caused by human factors. They would only occur once every few years.
The upcoming Beast Wave was due to the appearance of Yang Rui and the players who were participating in the Territory Versus Tournament on Death Island. Alger had already received a prediction that the scale of the beast horde would be at least twice as large as the previous one. Moreover, the time it lasted was at least ten days!
Alger was a Magician. Although he had never made a move in front of Yang Rui, based on Yang Rui's Perception and the information revealed by the Magician NPC, Alger was at most a Special General.
However, Alger had a special magic skill called Divination. This skill belonged to the system of Prophecy Magic. Although the ability of Divination was very limited, it had a special feature. Continuous Divination of the same thing would maintain a high level of accuracy.
Therefore, Alger's divination of this Beast Tide was quite reliable. Coupled with various inferences, it was reasonable for the scale and duration of the Beast Tide to increase.
After Alger and Yang Rui conversed for a while, they did not stay for long. Alger's expression changed when Yang Rui talked about the scene when he first appeared on Death Island and encountered a large flock of flying beasts. It was obvious that the situation was much more serious than what he had predicted!
Before leaving, Alger almost begged Yang Rui not to cause too much of a commotion. He also said that there might be a greater possibility of the beast tide happening. Only then did he hurriedly go to the settlements of the other civilizations nearby to pass on the news.
"Isn't that a little too frightening?"
Yang Rui muttered with a bitter smile after Alger left. He felt that there was no need to hide it, so he told Alger about the situation when he first arrived on Death Island. He did not expect Alger to have such a big reaction.
Originally, Yang Rui wanted to discuss with him the specific division of labor when the Beast Tide broke out. Alger only said that he would be teleported to the Colosseum half a day before the Beast Tide broke out and that there would be time to arrange this matter. After that, he left in a hurry.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, don't be careless. According to this person, the Beast Tide on Death Island should not be underestimated. The weakest among the Beast Tide is at least a beginner general. We need to come up with a foolproof plan as soon as possible."
Hearing Yang Rui's muttering, Xu You, who was beside him, advised him.
At this time, Xu You's mentality was to establish his position in Yang Rui's camp as soon as possible. Therefore, he was always active in giving advice.
"Well, Mr. Xu You, what do you think?"
In fact, Yang Rui had never underestimated the destructive power of the Beast Tide. What he said just now was half a joke. However, since Xu You was actively advising him, Yang Rui naturally would not dampen his enthusiasm.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, since the destructive power of the Beast Tide is huge, we must wait for it and act according to the circumstances." Xu You replied. Obviously, he did not have a mature suggestion.
Xu You was just actively looking for an opportunity to speak, but he did not prepare a strategy for Yang Rui's rhetorical question, so he could only answer hastily.
"What is Mr. Guo Jia's advice?"
In response to Xu You's answer, Yang Rui just nodded slightly and turned to ask Guo Jia on the other side.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, in Guo Jia's opinion, although the Beast Tide is very dangerous, if we are well prepared, it may be a huge opportunity for us."
After Guo Jia was asked, he said very calmly.
"Oh? How should we deal with it? Please tell me in detail. "
Yang Rui had been in contact with Guo Jia for a long time. He also had a general understanding of Guo Jia's nature. Whenever Guo Jia mentioned a similar prognosis, he must have a plan.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, as Mr. Xu You said, we have not experienced the Beast Tide, and we have to think about the specific response."
Guo Jia looked at Xu You as he spoke, which obviously expressed his respect for Xu You's opinion. Suddenly, Xu You's expression became better.
"At this time, we can also make some preparations in advance. There is a saying in the art of war that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles. Lord, you can first understand the environment of the Colosseum, the strength of the monsters on the island, the source of the Beast Tide monsters, and our strategy to deal with the land monsters and birds."
What Guo Jia said next gave Yang Rui a reminder. Although Yang Rui could only wait before the monster horde arrived, he had to observe the factors of the battlefield and the opponents in the next two to three days. Then, he could think of ways to deal with the various monsters in the monster horde.
"Yes, Mr. Guo Jia's words are reasonable. We will go to the Colosseum first, and then discuss other matters."
Yang Rui had already scouted the entire Death Island and found the location of the Bestial Battle Arena. However, when he found the Bestial Battle Arena, Yang Rui found that it was very quiet inside. Therefore, he didn't choose to go inside because of his doubts.
At this time, Yang Rui had already figured out the ins and outs of the Colosseum, and he knew that it would be the battlefield of the Beast Tide in the next few days. Of course, he had to go and take a look first.
The Colosseum was located at the southernmost part of Death Island, on a high ground on the sea cliff. This was also the reason why Yang Rui could see the sea when he participated in the Territory Tournament finals.
The final phase of the Territory Competition only used a building similar to the Colosseum. The field of view was also very limited. Based on Yang Rui's initial observations, he had only felt that this building was somewhat similar to the Colosseum in Rome. He had never thought that the NPC residents on Death Island would also call it the Colosseum.
After half an hour of flight, Yang Rui's Sky City had already arrived above the Colosseum. At this time, the field of vision was much clearer, and the panoramic view of the Colosseum could be seen at a glance.
The Colosseum was similar to the Colosseum in the real world. It was a cylindrical building, without a ceiling, with many entrances, and the interior was divided into several layers. The difference was that the walls around the Colosseum were enclosed, which was also beneficial for the defense of the Beast Tide.
The Colosseum covered an area of several square kilometers, which was about the radius of an Advanced Village. It was obviously designed to accommodate Sky City. Therefore, Yang Rui landed Sky City near the Colosseum and entered the Colosseum with Gao Shun, Guo Jia, and Xu You. Only Zhang Ning stayed behind to guard Sky City.
After the few of them entered the Colosseum, they carefully inspected the internal structure of the Colosseum, which was divided into five levels. Most of their energy was spent on choosing the foothold of the Colosseum, as well as how to deal with the aerial attacks of the Flying Beasts.
This was especially true when it came to the aerial attacks of the Flying Beasts. Currently, Yang Rui's methods were still lacking compared to the NPCs of the Western Magic Civilization and Dou Qi Civilization, as well as the NPCs of other civilizations. Yang Rui's long-range archers were only Fourth and Fifth Tier soldiers.
Of course, in comparison, Yang Rui's forces also had other advantages. Therefore, the key to dealing with the Beast Tide was how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
System Notification: The Beast Tide on Death Island will occur in half a day (12 hours). Players, please make preparations.
Half a day later, Yang Rui and the others were still investigating the Colosseum when a system notification suddenly came. The Beast Tide had actually arrived two or three days earlier than Alger's prediction!
