{Word Count - 1416 Words}
The moment this world notification appeared, the World Chat Channel instantly exploded. The Beast Tide is finally coming, and it is coming only in two hours. Instantly, the spirits of countless Castle Lords collapsed. Despair and terror-filled their heart.
[Are you kidding me? Only two hours? I'm not ready yet! This time, I'm dead!]
[Me too! This morning, to defend against those berserk monsters, almost 70% of my soldiers died. Now this Beast Tide is about to attack. How could I withstand it?]
[I also suffered heavy losses! Today's recruitment could not make up for the dead soldiers. Moreover, the newly recruited soldiers are the weakest, so they are useless.]
After the battle in the early morning, the strength of the Castle Lords had generally decreased.
[Now, the Beast Tide is coming! The battle against berserk monsters was just an appetizer. The real main course is the Beast Tide! Brothers and sisters this is simply an apocalypse for us!]
The berserk monsters that had appeared as soon as the barrier disappeared had already made it difficult for many of the Castle Lords to defend themselves. It was estimated that at least a million Castle Lords have been eliminated. Now, the even more terrifying Beast Tide is coming. Isn't this the Apocalypse?
[I predict that at least a hundred million Castle Lords will be eliminated in this Beast Tide!]
The World Chat Channel was filled with all kinds of negativity. Many Castle Lords were in despair. They had barely passed the battle against berserk monsters, and before the soldiers could recover, the Beast Tide appeared. This did not give them the chance to survive. There was no hope at all. This was the cruelest thing for them.
Everyone fears death from the depths of their souls. This was instinct, not something that could be ignored just by saying that they are not afraid of death. Many Castle Lords collapsed because of this, and they even cried because they could not see a light in front of their path. For many Castle Lords who had already suffered heavy losses, this Beast Tide was not a test at all, but an apocalyptic catastrophe, a catalyst for their inevitable doom. At this moment, a Castle Lord suddenly spoke.
[Everyone, don't worry. The world notification said that the scale of Beast Tide is random! The meaning of 'Random' is very clear. The scale of the Beast Tide that will invade every Castle Lord should be different. At some places it will be large, while at other places, it will be small. There is a chance to survive!]
[This guy is intelligent! The size of the Beast Tide should be related to the number of wild monsters around the Castle! The more monsters around, the larger the Beast Tide would be! After all, the Endless Continent is a real world. Wild monsters can't spawn out of nowhere like in the game.]
[The number of wild monsters near the Castle can directly affect the scale of the Beast Tide! It should precise be the reason why the world announcement indicates that the scale of Beast Tide will be random!]
[My Castle is located in the Ice Plains, adjacent to the Ice and Snow Kingdom. There were very few monsters in the surrounding area. There weren't many monsters in the battle early in the morning. Does this mean that the Beast Tide that will attack my Castle would not be too large?]
[This possibility is very high! Don't worry, the Castle Lord in Ice Plains. You will be able to clear the Beast Tide. The only downside is that the Beast Tide will be too small and it will be difficult for you to obtain combat points.]
…
Somewhere in the middle of an ice field castle, a woman with short hair and a strong outfit let out a long sigh of relief. She was telling the truth. There were too few wild monsters around her Castle. Normally, it would be difficult for her troops to hunt wild monsters. This directly affected the strength of her soldiers.
If she encountered a massive Beast Tide, her Castle would not be able to withstand it. It seemed like she could relax now. As for the combat points, she did not consider it at all. Only the top 100 would get a reward among billions of Castle Lords. She did not want to fight for this. The Combat Power Rankings were prepared for those Top-Level Castle Lords.
Even though her troops were High-Level, she did not have the qualifications to fight for a spot in Top 100. Among the billions of Castle Lords, there were more than 8,000 Castle Lords with Top-Level Troops. In front of the them, she could barely be considered lucky. Therefore, as long as she could safely pass through the Beast Tide, she would be satisfied.
[Early in the morning, all the Castle Lords have eliminated many wild monsters. I believe this will also affect the scale of the Beast Tide!][The local forces will not attack our Castle in the Beast Tide. Everyone can rest assured.]
[Just now, my troops started a war with a group of goblins. After the blood-red lightning descended, the group of Goblins immediately retreated, shouting that a disaster is about to descend and that they have to return to defend their tribe! Therefore, the local forces will indirectly share some of the pressure with us. This is also good news!]
In the World Chat Channel, many Castle Lords were analyzing the Beast Tide. Within less than two hours, the Beast Tide will arrive. At this moment, some people sighed and some still did not see any hope.
[Even so, my Castle cannot be preserved! In the early morning battle, I lost 90% of my troops and had difficulty defending the castle. Right now, even if only a few dozen monsters appear, my Castle would be in danger.]
Many of the Castle Lords looked hopeless. Their soldiers were naturally weak, so they had to be careful when hunting monsters. If they were not careful, they would lose their soldiers. In the battle of the Castle guards, their soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Now, the Beast Tide is coming. Even if the scale was random, it still was difficult for them to see a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, they were incredibly envious of those Top-Level Troops. Those people were at the top of the pyramid of billions of Castle Lords. They were not worried about whether or not they could survive the Beast Tide. All they cared about was fighting for the Top 100 combat strength rankings.
[It's so damn unfair! Why is it that other people have High-Level or Top-Level troops, while I have the weakest Low-Level troops? What fair competition! How is there any fairness in this world?]
In the World Chat Channel, many Castle Lords were complaining and expressing their dissatisfaction. However, they could only complain. No one could change the fate that had been decided in the beginning. They randomly got Low-Level troops and could only blame their bad luck.
It wasn't just them. Many of the Top-Level Castle Lords have previously claimed that this wasn't fair because they were envious, jealous and hostile towards Haru, who had Angels for his troops. But what could they do? Could it be that they could still encourage the 'Admins' to delete Haru's account? The reality was reality. Even if they did not want to accept it, they had to accept it. At this moment, in the World Chat Channel, a Castle Lord suddenly made a bold guess.
[Previously, the Castle Lord said that the Castle could be moved away! Then could we use this method to indirectly avoid the approaching Beast Tide?]
[That's right, the Castle Heart can be removed! If the Castle disappears, the Beast Tide will naturally lose its target!]
[I just tried! The Castle Heart could indeed be moved away, but there was a message telling me that once I moved the Castle Heart during the Beast Tide, I would lose my identity as a Castle Lord.]
[Without the identity of Castle Lord, won't you be a refugee? Besides, how could you participate in the battle for hegemony?]
[If you don't even dare to go through a test like the Beast Tide, do you want to participate in the battle for hegemony? Just giving away your status as the Castle Lord and not getting killed would be good!]
