Looking at the system announcement that appeared before him, Su Bai's eyes sparkled.

"The calm before the storm, the last half hour!"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing just how strong the beast tide that's attacking our territory will be!"

"We'll remain unchanged amidst all changes, staying within our territory and awaiting the coming storm!"

Half an hour later, countless wild beasts will be scattered around the outskirts of the newly appointed lord's territory.

They gathered together, forming a beast tide, and launched wave after wave of attacks.

The beast tide will be mixed with local forces.

A lord who can withstand a mixed attack must have a territory of a higher level.

Or perhaps their reputation level is relatively high.

Alternatively, during the first seven days of the beginner period, a conflict may occur with local forces, incurring their hatred.

At that moment, the system's mechanical synthesized voice rang in my ears.

[Note: The number of free recruitment opportunities for the incubator has been refreshed.]

[Current free attempts: 1]

"recruit!"

Su Bai murmured to himself.

The biomass inside the hatchery and the peristaltic outer skin began to surge.

Five enormous queen insects emerged from within, moving their eight spider-like lower limbs.

"Five more queens, not bad. They can heal the swarm during the upcoming beast tide."

Su Bai nodded slightly.

Then, look around.

The protective light membrane at the edge of the territory had turned into specks of ghostly light and dissipated in mid-air.

A fishy smell drifted into the territory on the breeze.

Su Bai sniffed, a serious look appearing in his eyes.

This is a fishy smell formed by the mixture of the auras of many ferocious beasts.

Strategically despise the opponent.

However, tactically, we must take our opponents seriously and never be careless.

If it's just during the beginner phase, the beast tides formed by the wild animals around the territory are naturally easy to handle; you could pass through them with your eyes closed.

However, if local forces join in and launch an attack together with the beast tide, the pressure will increase.

Su Bai's territory is of a high level, reaching Lv6!

With such high prestige, the intensity of the beast tide is bound to be high.

He guessed that there was a 99% chance that the kobolds and goblins would launch an attack together with the beast tide.

This is where the variables come in.

Perhaps there will be even more powerful kobolds or goblins.

And that high-quality, level 20 giant griffin is also a considerable threat.

However, if the beast tide is very strong, then the overall evaluation of the newly promoted lord ranking will be greatly improved.

Challenges and opportunities coexist.

This is also a great opportunity for rapid transformation.

"A golden carp is no ordinary fish in a pond; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters wind and clouds!"

"Only by embracing greater challenges will we have the opportunity to soar to new heights in the future!"

"Let the storm rage on!"

Su Bai's words were lofty and imposing, expressing his soaring ambition.

Beneath a pair of sword-like eyebrows lay a pair of eyes as bright as stars in the dark night.

Right now.

Most of the newly appointed lords in various countries were filled with anxiety and unease.

Some people with a bad mentality would kneel down on the ground and pray for divine protection.

Some lords pleaded with their soldiers to fight to the death and perish with their territory.

Su Bai's interstellar Zerg have a unique characteristic: their loyalty is at its maximum and they will never betray him.

But other lords didn't have that.

They worried that the intense fighting during the upcoming beast tide would cause their soldiers to desert.

That's why he pleaded so earnestly for the soldiers to fight bravely.

In this way, it seems that the roles of the two sides have been reversed.

The lord became the grandson, and the soldier became the master.

Regardless of people's feelings, time will not stop, and every second will continue to fly by.

Before we knew it.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Almost at the same time.

The system announcement rang in the ears of all the newly promoted lords.

[Announcement: Beast Tide is Coming!]

[Announcement: The ranking list for newly promoted lords is officially released!]

[Announcement: The system will comprehensively evaluate newly promoted lords based on the number, level, and strength of the beasts, monsters, and local forces they kill during the beast tide, and assign a corresponding score!]

[Announcement: Each newly promoted lord's points start from zero, and the leaderboard is updated in real time!]

[Announcement: After the beast tide ends, rewards will be distributed according to the ranking list!]

The moment the announcement was made, all sorts of wild beasts appeared on the outskirts of the newly appointed lords of various countries.

For a moment, even the air felt oppressive.

At this moment, Su Bai stood within the territory.

The roars and howls of various wild beasts, along with the sounds of their running, reached my ears on the wind.

Look around.

A large number of wild beasts had gathered, densely packed together, forming a dark, overwhelming mass.

Steppenwolf, Vajra Tiger, Mutant Black Bear, Hairy Giant Elephant.

These four types of wild beasts constitute the main force of the beast tide before us.

Their strengths vary, but their levels aren't particularly high.

The vast majority are in the range of level 1 to 3.

"It seems that the first wave of beasts consists entirely of ordinary wild animals, but the number is a bit strange."

Su Bai murmured to himself, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Knowledge about beast tides has been emphasized in classrooms at schools and military regions.

Under normal circumstances, the first wave of beast tides is not very strong.

The level won't be too high, and the quantity will be in the range of 50-100.

However, just outside his own territory, there were no fewer than 500 wild beasts.

The difference is quite significant.

"It must be the territory level and reputation value that attract a large number of wild beasts."

Su Bai thought to himself.

However, even though there were many wild animals, they weren't enough to deter them.

A massive interstellar swarm of Zerg is no mere decoration.

Springer, quantity 300, level Lv6!

Hydralisks, 180 in number, Level 6!

Ten alien dragons, combat power level 9!

In addition, there are 10 support medics—the Queen!

Combined with the Queen of Blades's talent Heart of the Zerg, the Zerg swarm's combat power is directly increased by 50%!

With such a powerful army, even if the beasts in the first wave of the beast tide were numerous, they would all be experience points and would be of no use whatsoever.

"roar!"

"Awoo!"

"Roar!"

Hundreds of wild beasts roared and charged into the territory from a kilometer away.

The sound was so powerful that the ground hummed and groaned.

The first to react was not Su Bai, but the guard tower.

【warn!】

Wild animals have been discovered invading the territory!

[Entered the range of the warning arrow tower; automatic attack to be initiated soon!]

at the same time.

At the very top of the watchtower, six red flame stones burst forth with bursts of red light.

Immediately, dozens of flaming arrows condensed.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Like a rain of flames bursting forth, it pierced the sky and swept towards its target with blazing fire.
