The legendary warrior

Chapter 259 Surge Of Beasts

"What's happening? Can you hear the roars of the beasts? It sounds like there are endless beasts! They must be getting closer and closer!" Tyson knitted his eyebrows together and gazed into the distance anxiously.

His heart was beating faster and faster. He had an ominous feeling that something terrible was approaching them.

Without any hesitation, Ricky, Tyson, and Kristen rushed out of the room. They were soon surrounded by the warriors of the Manor Gang who had also sensed the danger that was approaching.

"Leaders, what's happening?" the warriors asked anxiously.

"We'll talk about it later. For right now, just close the gates! Be quick about it!" After the gates were closed, Kristen directed several warriors to reinforce their castle's defenses. "Listen to those fierce roars! It must be a great surge of beasts!" said Kristen with a sullen look on her face.

"What? A surge of beasts?!" The warriors were taken aback; they were left exchanging scared glances with each other.

They all knew what a surge of beasts meant for them. It was a catastrophe that was coming for the warriors.

A surge of beasts, just as its name implied, meant that the beasts living in the mountains entered an almost rabid frenzy for some unknown reason. Due to that frenzy, all they wanted to do was to kill humans, especially any warriors they could find.

The beasts would then gather together and attack the residence they found recklessly.

After a terrible fight, both the beasts and the human warriors would surely suffer great losses. It tended to be a lose-lose situation, but it still happened regularly in some areas.

"That...can't be possible! There has never been a surge of beasts in the Chaotic Region!"

"Yes! We've never heard of it happening here before!" The members were astonished by her words. They didn't believe what she told them.

They did have reason to question her. Surges of beasts only happened in certain specific places and times. Since no one had ever experienced a surge of beasts in that particular area before, it was reasonable to doubt that there ever could be one in the Chaotic Region.

"Yes! I agree with the warriors. Kristen, I don't think it is a surge of beasts," Ricky said and shook his head slightly.

"It's getting closer. Let's go to the top of the castle and see if we can make out what that noise is!" "Hurry up!" Kristen commanded. Despite the situation she kept her composure. .

Soon, all the members gathered at the top of the castle.

The moment they saw what was happening, they froze in terror. Their eyes were fixed on the scene approaching from the distance. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Standing on the castle, they could clearly see hundreds of thousands of beasts swarming in the distance like the dark clouds of a gathering storm front. Wolves, tigers, and leopards were sprinting against the plains. Vultures, eagles, and pterodactyls were tearing through the sky. Just like an endless tide, the beasts were rushing over the ground at an amazing speed.

It wasn't only the Lower Region that the beasts were occupying, the beasts were covering the mountains that made up the Middle Region as well. Obviously, both the Lower Region and the Middle Region were being attacked by a surge of beasts.

"How...how is this possible?! I can't believe it! It really is a surge of beasts!" A warrior shouted in a tremulously frightened voice. His face had gone pale with fear. Almost all of the warriors of the Manor Gang were terrified of the horde of beasts. They had never experienced a surge of beasts before. They did not know how to deal with such a terrible situation.

What was worse, they could see many warriors fleeing from the mountains. The warriors were being trampled to death by the rabid beasts.

Wherever the beasts passed, nothing was left except dead bodies, fire, and blood.

"I can't believe it! How can there be a surge of beasts in the Chaotic Region? How can there be one on such a huge scale?!" Trent exclaimed, his eyes widening.

"Guys! Don't panic! Since it has come here, we should just take up our weapons and fight with the beasts. It's of no use being afraid. If we have to die, we will die on the battlefield with weapons in our hands. We won't die from being scared or trampled to death!"

Ricky drew his Iron Destroyer and stepped forward. A murderous aura rose from his body and surrounded him.

"Let's fight!"

Encouraged by Ricky's words, the warriors were no longer afraid. They all pulled out their weapons and shouted their battle cries.

At the same time, the warriors in other nearby castles were also facing the same situation. There was no where to hide for any of them. They had no choice but to confront the beasts directly. No matter how fast they ran, they were no match for the beasts flying through the sky.

It didn't take long for the beasts to arrive at the castle. All kinds of huge birds with large wings, sharp claws, and beaks obscured the sun.

The walls were too vulnerable to defend against their attacks. The bricks soon fell apart and were soon smashed into pieces. The war had begun against several castles.

Shortly after, the battle had spread to the whole Lower Region when the beasts on the ground arrived.

The Middle Region were not immune to the surge of beasts. All of the gangs had gone into the battle.

As for the Upper Region, the beasts were still far away from it. They couldn't clearly see what was happening, but could sense that there was a lot of killing and bloodshed happening nearby. Apparently, the whole Chaotic Region was affected by the surge of beasts.

The battle went on for more than half a day.

When everything had come to an end, the soil of the Lower Region was trodden red with blood.

Dead bodies of the beasts and the warriors were scattered everywhere the eye could see.

Some small castles could not stand the attack of the wild beasts; those castles had been reduced to jagged stumps in the ground.

Both the beasts and the warriors had suffered great losses that day.

"Good heavens! When on earth will the beasts go back to their homes?!" Though the warriors were used to seeing killing and blood, it was the first time that they had seen such a terrible battle. Seeing the mass of beasts coming toward them, they had had no choice but to pray for help from God.

Maybe God had heard their prayers after all. Unexpectedly, the beasts suddenly retreated all at once.

The warriors were more than surprised when the beasts fled. Their rejoicing at it overwhelmed the doubt and suspicion that the beasts might return. They had survived the surge of the beasts.

Through the whole event, no one had noticed why exactly the beast surge was so very strange though.

In the past, when the surge of beasts receded, the surviving beasts would flee anxiously back to the mountains. After the battle that just happened, the beasts seemed to have made a plan beforehand. Before leaving, each of them seized the corpses of several warriors. .

After the surge of beasts, many small gangs were entirely destroyed. The stronger ones also suffered great losses from the struggle.

It was actually a great opportunity for some gangs to improve their status. Most gangs were too busy to think about that though. To them, the first priority was to recover from the effects of the beast's invasion.

It was not until half a month later that the gangs regained their vigor.

Then, it was time for the leaders and warriors to sit down and discuss the plan for their next step. .

In one of the halls of the Manor Gang, Ricky, Tyson, and Kristen gathered together. They were worried about the future of their gang.

"The surge of beasts messed up our original plan. If there hadn't been such a disaster, we would have been making our way to the Middle Region by now. Now we have to put that plan on the back burner," Ricky said in a dejected tone.

"Who'd have thought that would happen! Maybe it was just the will of the Heavens." Tyson shook his head. "Our gang has suffered a great deal this time. All of our shops were destroyed. We also lost nearly one fourth of our warriors."

"Let's not waste our time complaining. We'll wait patiently for a new opportunity," Kristen said in a low but firm voice. "Though this is a great time for us to step into the Middle Region, we can't just go and leave this awful mess to Trent and Bastian."

"Oh, Kristen. I have a question. You said that, during the surge of beasts, the beasts would enter an almost rabid frenzy and all they wanted to do was to kill. Is that always the case?" Suddenly, something strange sprang to Ricky's mind and he had to ask.
