"Wang Han, what did you mean by saying that the magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest are going to do something else?" Elizabeth stared blankly at Wang Han.
“The monsters will still attack the city.” Wang Han did not hide anything and said, “The previous beast tide was just a precursor, or rather, the vanguard of the monsters, a test. Although we have repelled them, there are even more powerful monsters gathering in the Monster Forest, brewing an even larger beast tide.”
"Gulp...Are you sure?" Eliza swallowed hard and asked quickly.
“I’m sure, I’m absolutely certain, because my magical beasts have already sensed it.” Wang Han nodded firmly and said, “It won’t be long before that even larger beast tide arrives.”
"Wang Han, let's quickly tell everyone this news so they can prepare in advance," Elizabeth said hastily, and then prepared to go out.
“Eliza Jing, are you sure you want to tell everyone?” Wang Han said, “Do you think others will believe what a lowly soldier like you says, especially since the first wave of beasts has already receded and there’s no sign of another wave? Everyone has barely survived and is living a life-threatening ordeal. Do you think they’ll believe you? You might be considered to be spreading terrifying rumors and be executed in public, especially now that General Amber is in charge of the town.”
Upon hearing Wang Han's words, Eliza stopped. Indeed, as Wang Han said, no one would believe the words of a lowly soldier like herself, and she might even be executed.
Seeing that Eliza had stopped, Wang Han continued, "Even if everyone believes you, you must understand that this beast tide is much larger. Not everyone wants to stay. Compared to the next massive beast tide, most of those who stay will die, especially the weak, such as the students from the academy who came to the Monster Forest for a hunting expedition. The academy is leaving tomorrow. If everyone believes you, then no one can leave; those who do will face death. If they don't believe you, then your life will be wasted."
"..." Upon hearing this, Elizabeth fell silent and hesitated.
“Few people want to face the beast tide, and those who do face it are often forced into it,” Wang Han continued. “The students in the academy can still grow; their talents haven’t reached their peak yet. If they stay behind, very few will survive.”
"But...but what about the beast tide?" Elizabeth struggled to speak. "A beast tide is coming, and we're unprepared. The consequences...if the town can't hold out..."
“You don’t need to worry about these problems,” Wang Han said, shaking his head.
“Don’t worry about me…” Upon hearing this, Eliza paused for a moment, then said self-deprecatingly, “Yes, don’t worry about me. I’m just a lowly soldier; I can’t change anything.”
"No, that's not what I meant. Sometimes even a lowly soldier can accomplish great things. It's just that your worries are a bit unnecessary. Such a massive beast tide will definitely be detected before it arrives; it's just a matter of time." Wang Han said with a sneer, "And you forgot about Amber. Don't they have an army of 200,000? And many experts? Don't they want spoils of war? Let them fight those magical beasts! If you choose to stay, do you think Amber will, like the former town general, place the weak in the rear, or use them as cannon fodder?"
“You’re telling me all this because you foresaw the ending from the very beginning,” Elizabeth said.
“Leave with us. Only by leaving can you live,” Wang Han said with a smile. “As for Gru Town, even if Amber’s 200,000 troops cannot repel the beast tide, they can hold out until reinforcements arrive.”
"Okay." Elizabeth finally nodded and said, "I'll go to the military base today to take leave and get the leave slip."

The next day, the sun rose.
The academy's team had finished packing and embarked on their journey back to the academy. However, due to the beast tide, almost all the horses had been lost. This time, no one had a carriage to ride in, and everyone had to walk. The few carriages available were used to transport the wounded.
"Wang Han, is it really a good idea to let your summoned beast pull the cart?" Vivian sat with Wang Han and An Qi on a simple cart, looking worriedly at the tiger spirit pulling the cart in front of them. This was the King of Monsters, and he was actually pulling their cart.
"It's so happy pulling the cart," Wang Han said, lying back on the cart and looking up at the sky. The world is vast, but the sky is so low, only about three to five thousand meters high. It seemed like he could easily jump to that height with his own body.
Upon hearing this, Vivian glanced at the tiger spirit in front of her, tied with ropes, taking small, arrogant steps, and pulling the cart with light, quick movements. It seemed genuinely pleased. She wondered how Wang Han had managed to get a summoned beast, a king of monsters, to willingly pull the cart. If any other summoner dared to do this, the summoned beast would have already broken the contract itself.
“Wang Han…” On the cart, Angie, who had been silent all along, hesitated for a long time before finally speaking to Wang Han: “Could you teach me summoning magic? Be my teacher, I want to become a powerful summoner like you.”
“Your personality is not suitable to be my disciple.” Looking at An Qi, Wang Han shook his head: “All I can guide you with are some experience and skills. You still have to find your own way to become a strong person.”
Hearing this, Angie lowered her head in disappointment, and Vivian quickly comforted her. Actually, they were quite confident that Wang Han would agree, after all, Wang Han and Angie had a life-sharing contract, but they didn't expect Wang Han to refuse so decisively.

“General Amber.” In the main hall of the general’s mansion in the town of Gru, an Amber confidant rushed into the mansion and whispered in Amber’s ear, “The patriarch has sent a magical secret message.”
"Excuse me, everyone," Amber said apologetically to the others in the hall, then led his confidants to the backyard.
“There’s no one else here.” Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, Amber looked around and said to his confidant.
"General." Upon hearing this, the confidant immediately took out a thin scroll from his bosom.
Amber took the scroll and infused it with sword energy using a special method.
"Click." The scroll made a soft sound as the top loosened. Amber took out a blank red magical paper, cut his finger with his sword energy, and dripped his blood onto the paper. The next moment, rows of text appeared on the paper.
After reading the contents of the paper, Amber gathered sword energy in his hand and shredded the paper into pieces. He then asked his confidant, "Where are the students from the magic academy?"
"We left the town this morning," the confidant quickly replied.
"He's gone..." Upon hearing this, Amber paused for a moment, then said, "It's good that he's gone."
