"Ladies and Gentlemen, do you know! A few days ago, a beast tide erupted in the mountains of Wan Beast, with a million savage beasts pouring forth. It so happened to be the day of the Imperial Dynasty's royal hunt, and many civil and military officials were there, including Dawu's new ruler, the Second Emperor, Chu!"
In the dining hall on the first floor, a storyteller in a long gown, flushed with excitement and spluttering as he spoke, narrated the events of the beast tide as if he had witnessed the scene himself.
"What, a million savage beasts? If they broke loose, the Imperial City would be surrounded. Who knows how many people would die then? Previous courts didn't have the ability to resist the beast tide, and the common people could only be preyed upon. But since the establishment of Dawu, there hasn't been a beast tide for many years."
Many spectators around the storyteller exclaimed in shock.
