The teleportation circle flashed, and Tang En and Aiguin returned to Ellington, followed by the twenty elven elites.
Tang En hurriedly led the way and asked, "Is the scale of the Beast Tide this time very large?"
"Very large. It's the largest I've seen over the years. The last time I saw such a large-scale Beast Tide was before the outbreak of the Chaos Invasion, when there was a large-scale Chaos pollution."
Aiguin explained, "Although the magical beasts were a little abnormal since the beginning of winter this year, the formation of such a large-scale Beast Tide in the end was still beyond my expectations. Almost the entire forest was alarmed."
Tang En frowned. "Hmm … You mean, if we're not prepared, the whole of Ellington will be flattened?"
"Very likely."
Aiguin nodded. After a pause, she reminded Tang En, "According to previous experience, a large-scale Beast Tide will flatten the Ladya Hills, and even approach the mountain city of Bein."
Tang En was stunned. "So ruthless!? This is basically a big sweep!? "
The carriage had to run for three days to pass through the Ladya Hills and reach the mountain city of Bein. Such a large hilly area, and the Beast Tide was going to flatten it …
Tang En shuddered. Fortunately, the probability of such a large-scale Beast Tide was very small. Otherwise, Ellington, which was built on the edge of the Emerald Forest and the Ambris Mountains, was simply waiting to be trampled by the magical beasts.
Fiona had just been supervising the construction of the greenhouse outside the city. Her vision blurred, and Tang En went over to bring her back.
"My Lord!? You scared me! — — These are … Lady Aiguin! "
Fiona saw Aiguin and hurriedly got up and bowed.
After all, Aiguin was a hero in the Chaos Invasion. Even if she was of a different race, she should be treated as a hero.
Aiguin was very troubled and said, "You don't have to be so polite … Besides, I'm an elf, you can call me master or something …"
Fiona already knew the character of the elves, so she was not too stubborn. After saluting, she asked Tang En why he had brought her back.
"Urgent notice."
Tang En said in a very serious tone, "Send out the order immediately. For the next few days, stop all activities far away from Ellington. Inform Elsa and the guards to stop the snow field training as well. Immediately send someone to recall the workers from the iron mine in Brussels back to Ellington."
Seeing Tang En's expression, Fiona also became nervous. "What's going on?"
Aiguin explained, "The Beast Tide is here — a huge wave of Beast Tide."
"Beast Tide!"
Fiona's expression changed slightly. She tried her best to remain calm. "But with the Lord's strength, the Dark Tide shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
"That's right, but …"
Tang En sighed. "People can't always live under protection."
"What do you mean?"
Tang En said very seriously. "This is a good opportunity to unite all the residents of Ellington. I won't do anything until the last moment."
Although he was very powerful, he did not forget his ultimate goal of coming to Prandal.
He wanted to train these people to save the world, not to show off and enjoy retirement. If he had to do everything alone, why would he still need these people?
This Beast Tide was a very good opportunity.
Ellington had now changed under the leadership of Tang En. It had become rich and powerful. The residents here were proud to be residents of Ellington. The products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce had been sold all over Irus. There were even businessmen from other countries who had sensed the business opportunity and came here to make money. Who would have dared to think about it before?
The people of Ellington were very satisfied with their current life. This place had become their real home, and in order to protect their home, the people could always explode with their greatest strength.
Under the great pressure of the Beast Tide, the residents here would work together to protect their home. The newcomers who had just arrived in Ellington would also quickly accept each other under the pressure and integrate into the community as quickly as possible.
It could be said that there was nothing faster than a common enemy to close the relationship and unite everyone.
Of course, if the soldiers could not resist the enemy, Tang En would not sit back and do nothing. He could not let his hard work be destroyed by the Beast Tide, so he still had to make some emergency preparations.
If he did not want the Beast Tide to attack Ellington, it was very simple. There were many ways to do so. He could even directly tear the ground and create a gap that ordinary Beast Tide could not cross, completely isolating Ellington from the surroundings. The flying Beast Tide would also be pulled down from the sky by the Gravity Spell and die on the ground with a mournful cry!
But that would be meaningless.
That's right, the warriors belonging to Ellington would not be able to gain battle experience, nor would they be able to grow. No matter how much he did, Ellington would only be a flower in a greenhouse. The moment the storm struck, it would be pulled up by the roots.
Only the weeds that grew in the wind and rain would take deep roots to resist the hardships and not fall in the face of pressure.
What Tang En wanted were strong-willed elite soldiers who were not afraid of setbacks and hardships, not wailing sissy soldiers.
After instructing Marlene to use the broadcast to inform the guards to stop training and patrolling, Tang En looked at Aiguin. "Those Beast Tide … Is it okay to kill them?"
He was worried that killing the Beast Tide would trouble Aiguin.
"No, it won't."
Aiguin shook her head and said very calmly, "This is a kind of dynamic balance in nature. Because the Emerald Forest cannot bear so many Beast Tide, when winter comes and there is not enough food, they will leave the forest to hunt outside. This process is the process of elimination."
Tang En was stunned. The elves even knew about the natural balance and the law of elimination …
"In that case, I am relieved."
Tang En nodded. Soon, Elsa, Depp, and the others who heard the broadcast came over. They were very curious about the sudden stop of training.
Tang En noticed that Depp, Locke, and Ultraman were all wearing only thin singlets and pants. However, they were all sweating profusely, and their bodies were steaming hot. It was obvious how much training they had gone through.
Fortunately, Elsa was not a bare-chested Amazon Warrior …
It was worth mentioning that after the high-intensity battle against the Corruptors in the underground world, the surviving soldiers all had a breakthrough in strength after a few days of recovery training after returning to Ellington.
The overall strength of the Ellington Guards had increased by a whole new level. The average strength of the soldiers had jumped from the Bronze level to the Dark Iron level. Some of the more talented ones, such as the Ranger Danny Jr., had mastered a few Ranger abilities during the battle, and their strength had increased by leaps and bounds. They had reached the Silver level in one go!
Due to the rapid improvement in their strength, the soldiers were now very enthusiastic about their training. They even fought to increase their own burdens and the intensity of their training. That kind of crazy obsession with strength even made Tang En feel a little uneasy. Fortunately, Elsa's fist calmed them down.
The members of the second, third, fourth, and other guard squads were also motivated after seeing the training of the first guard squad. Now, each of them was more enthusiastic than the last.
"My Lord."
Elsa stepped forward and bowed. She was a little excited. "You asked us to stop training and come back. Is there a new training plan?"
Depp and the others were also excited.
Tang En was dumbfounded. Have these guys been overtrained and become masochists?
"No, it's because of an urgent mission."
Tang En said, "I just received news from Aiguina. Because of the heavy snow, the monsters in the depths of the Emerald Forest have been affected. The scale of the Beast Tide has far exceeded that of previous years."
"The Beast Tide!"
When they heard about the Beast Tide, the smiles on Depp and Elsa's faces froze. Every Beast Tide was a disaster. Having grown up in Ellington, they knew this better than anyone else.
Before Tang En came here, the Beast Tide in the winter was one of the most terrifying things in Ellington. The monsters that came out of the forest would destroy everything in front of them. They would swallow people whole, skin and bones.
Although the Beast Tide did not always affect Ellington, when it did, the consequences would be devastating.
In the past, when the Beast Tide appeared, the feudal lords, like Hogg, would always leave Ellington with their private soldiers. They would go to the mountain city of Bein or the stone city of Preston to seek refuge. As for the lives of the people who stayed behind … who cared?
Those who were strong enough had gone to seek refuge. When winter passed and spring came, they would come back and continue their lives. After all, the Emerald Forest was rich in furs and herbs. These people could not give up.
Those who were not strong enough could only hide in the cellars and pray that the monsters would not find them. Unfortunately, reality was not so happy.
Depp clenched his fists. "Even if it's a Beast Tide, we're not afraid! This year's Ellington is different! "
"Yes!"
Ayesha looked at Tang En with great admiration. "Now, the house we live in is even sturdier than before. All of us are stronger than before. The equipment we use is better, and we have more people."
"Yes!"
Depp said in a low voice. "Now, we're not Ellington who were abandoned by our feudal lord. We're Ellington who will share honor and disgrace with our feudal lord! My lord, please give the order. Please believe in us. Your warriors will fight for you, for Ellington, and for our homeland! "
"Even if we have to sacrifice our lives!"
Now, Ellington was no longer the poor and destitute village from before. Now, it was a land of gold that everyone envied. No one wanted to see their beautiful home once again trampled by magical beasts. No one wanted to see their loved ones become food for magical beasts!
Tang En lowered his hands and looked at them. "I know how you feel," he said. "But compared to sacrificing your lives, I'd rather see everyone survive the Beast Tide safely.
"First of all, I won't intervene in this Beast Tide unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm not a nanny, and you're not children.
"If you want to defeat the Beast Tide, if you want to protect your homeland, then use all your courage and strength.
"Use your bodies to stop them. Use your swords to tear them apart. Even if your swords break, you still have your fists. Even if your fists break, you still have your teeth!
"As warriors, your only duty is to keep the monsters away from Ellington. Protect your homeland and your family. Make sure they can't step into Ellington!
"Now, let's start assigning tasks! First Guard Team, move out immediately. Set up traps in the west … "
"Second Guard Team …"
