Wang Jue came to the territory and gathered all the soldiers.
Ten minutes later, Quina, Tian Man, and Hidden Shadow all arrived.
Then, all the soldiers in the territory gathered.
Wang Jue announced,
"Today is the most dangerous day in the territory. A Beast Tide is about to take place in the forest because of an irresistible factor. The territory is the first place where the wild beasts will attack."
Upon hearing 'Beast Tide', the soldiers' eyes were already filled with fear.
Obviously, they knew the terror of the beast tide.
Fortunately, the soldiers weren't too flustered.
After this period of adapting and training with Carl, these soldiers were much stronger than ordinary people in terms of both ability and mental fortitude.
Wang Jue felt gratified.
After a pause he continued,
"Behind you is your home. Beside you are your companions and family who have been with you all day and night. And all of you are my people and my soldiers. I will accompany everyone in resisting the Beast Tide. Are you afraid?"
After a moment of silence, the soldiers below burst out with deafening voices,
"No!"
"Good. Today we will stand together on the front lines to guard the territory, and defend our home."
"Roar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, snarls came from the forest. It was the roar of wild beasts.
Wang Jue's expression changed as he hurriedly said,
"Everyone, be on guard. Stand in formation and get ready!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
In a disciplined manner, the soldiers took out their weapons and stood outside the territory.
Wang Jue stood at the forefront and watched the fray in the forest. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Behind him, Quina squeezed Wang Jue's shoulder. Wang Jue turned around and looked at Quina's gaze. He couldn't help but calm down.
A Beast Tide is nothing, I am not a pushover!
"Roar…!"
The clatter of hooves could be heard. Finally, Wang Jue saw with his naked eyes, a kilometer away from the forest, a huge black shadow was charging towards the territory at an extremely fast speed.
"The Beast Tide is coming. Everyone, listen to my command!"
Wang Jue unsheathed out his sword and raised it above his head.
When the Beast Tide was 500 meters away, Wang Jue shouted,
"Charge with me! Charge!"
He took the lead, and the crowd behind followed closely.
Quina and Tian Man were responsible for protecting Wang Jue. The wolves followed the soldiers and cooperated with them.
Slash! Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Two weeks after arriving at the territory, a great battle finally began.
The Beast Tide this time was not big. From the looks of it, there were just about a hundred wild beasts.
There were wild wolves, wild boars, and even giant lizards among them. However, there were not many like the grizzly bears.
Wang Jue felt slightly relieved. We should be fine this time, but casualties after the war are inevitable!
He swung his iron sword with all his might and chopped a mountain wolf that came attacking into two.
At the side, Quina raised her arms and released arrows at the beast horde. Every arrow would definitely bring out blood with it.
This was strength.
On the other side, although Tian Man was facing the Beast Tide battle on her first day of being summoned, she was not afraid. On the contrary, she had the greatest advantage in such a group battle.
She raised her staff and chanted an ancient incantation.
"Fireball!"
With a low growl, a huge fireball flew towards the beast horde.
Instantly, the beasts suffered huge casualties.
It was just that the chanting duration was rather long and her casting speed was still very slow.
If Wang Jue and Quina hadn't been protecting her in front, it might have been a different story.
However, this was how war was like. Everyone would do their best to put in as much as they can and they'd make up for their shortcomings if there were any.
At the same time.
In a certain territory… strictly speaking, there were no longer any visible traces of a territory here.
Corpses littered the ground. In a dilapidated hut, a brawny man had already changed beyond recognition. One could vaguely see the deep hatred, regret, and fear remaining on his face.
This was one of the Overlords who had transmigrated.
He hated himself for being so unlucky to have transmigrated to this terrifying continent.
He regretted why his territory wasn't strong enough.
And his fear was brought about by the beast tide. This was also the final look in the man's eyes.
…
There were countless of such situations across the entire continent.
Some Overlords knew that danger was approaching and chose to run, but where could they run to?
Before they were even midway through, they had already become food for the beasts.
There were also some powerful territories. Fortunately, the Beast Tide was not large. Although they suffered heavy casualties, at least their lives were preserved.
As for those who were still alive, they would receive tremendous benefits from the first Beast Tide.
Wang Jue was one of the people who benefited the most.
Presently, the battle had been going on for twenty minutes. Wang Jue was already covered in blood.
He couldn't tell if it was his own or the beasts'.
There were still seven or eight wild beasts ahead, but they were no longer a threat.
As the soldiers pressed on, these beasts would become meat on the dining table.
He was breathing heavily, supported by the Mage Tian Man. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Finally, it's over!"
A territorial confrontation ended just like that. The commoners in the territory slowly came out one by one.
They helped the injured soldiers back to their territory to rest and recuperate.
The rest would clean up the battlefield and move the dead beasts into the territory. Those who were not completely dead would be killed.
The joy of surviving a calamity washed away the fear.
After handing over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to the commoners, Wang Jue returned to the territory.
The Overlord's Residence.

…
The system's notifications had been ringing constantly. Wang Jue waited until the battle was completely over before he had the time to check them.
He sat on the recliner and eagerly opened the system interface.
The gains this time were considerable. Just his experience points alone increased by more than 20,000 points.
There were also the souls he had obtained, as well as the resources he had dropped from some wild beasts.
After a cursory inspection, he found that he had obtained more than 30 souls.
There were also all kinds of beast fur that could be made into clothes and leather armor.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded again.
