At the same time, a sharp and heavy alarm sounded from the sky above Base No. 18.
"The Beast Tide is here!"
"How could it come so fast?!"
At this moment, all the Martialriors inside Base No. 18 changed their expressions drastically.
Every year after winter sets in, the Beast Tide would come as expected… But according to the timeline, it should still be a month or two before it would truly arrive.
Yet now, it came early!
"The Day of Disaster is here?!"
"Quick! Go into the house!"
"Why is the Disaster Day alarm going off so early this year? Isn't it usually in the deep winter?"
Upon hearing the alarm, the ordinary citizens of Base No. 18, who were originally working or attending school, immediately turned around and hurried home.
Disaster Day was a declaration from the government to the ordinary citizens. Whenever it arrived, it meant that Base No. 18 might face an apocalyptic disaster, and all humans must quickly return home to take shelter. Those with basements would also quickly stock them with food, water, and other daily necessities.
There was an alarm for Disaster Day every year. However, there wasn't always a disaster. Over time, people had become accustomed to it, and even when they heard the Martialning, they didn't panic too much. Some even thought Disaster Day was a good thing – no work but still getting paid!
On the east wall of Base No. 18, a massive army of Martialriors, armed with all kinds of weapons, had gathered.
This army consisted of government Martialriors, Martialriors from various families, and independent Martialriors who had formed their own teams.
All were gathered here, nervously watching the distance.
On the horizon, a lush forest was visible… Normally it would be a beautiful sight, but now, with the violent tremors shaking the ground, the lush forest looked terrifying to everyone!
Every year at this time, the Beast Tide was a disaster for all Martialriors, but at the same time, it was an opportunity!
What did the Beast Tide bring?
Countless, boundless, ferocious beast armies!
As long as one could survive the battle and blend in, there was a chance to obtain rare beast materials.
These rare materials could easily sell for millions in the outside world, and the more you had, the more you could profit!
But of course, the most important thing wasn't the profit.
If other Martialriors died, who would those materials belong to?
Exactly. They would become ownerless! As long as you picked them up, they were yours!
The government's Martialrior corps, family Martialriors, and the independently formed Martialriors… They all received compensation for the deaths of their Martialriors, ensuring their families would be well taken care of, which alleviated any concerns about the Martialriors' safety.
Thus, there was no need for the government to specially call for Martialriors to join the fight; they came voluntarily.
The profits were too great to ignore.
Martialriors indeed valued their lives, but when they thought about all the others fighting alongside them, with many strong ones in the front, their fear of death quickly decreased!
Moreover, so far, the Martialriors had always emerged victorious against the Beast Tide. If they hadn't, they wouldn't have survived to this day.
If the human base truly fell, then they and their families would also perish. It would just be a matter of time!
Therefore, for themselves, for their families, and for humanity… They would fight with all their might!
"They're flying, it's a Martial Commander!"
"That outfit… It's the Base Governor, Xiao Longyu!"
"Be quiet! Calling the Governor by his full name, do you want to die?"
"Another Martial Commander is here!"
"It's Lin Futian from the Lin family! My idol!"
"Also, Martial Commander Zhou Quan from the Zhou family!"
"The Liu family and the Wang family's Martial Commanders are here too!"
"Haha, with five Martial Commanders here, what do we have to fear?"
In the sky, five figures swept across and floated above the city walls, their gazes deep as they stared into the distance.
Each one represented a powerful faction behind Base No. 18.
When the Martialriors below saw them, their morale soared.
Every year, it was because of the presence of these five that they could get through the Beast Tide… As long as these five appeared, it meant victory was certain!
"Brother Lin, are you okay? The battle with the White Dragon Mother of the Sky-Sovereign White Dragon Tribe was intense a few days ago, don't push yourself too hard!"
Wang Chu, the Martial Commander from the Wang family, glanced at Lin Futian and said indifferently, "I also heard that your Lin family has stirred up a major trouble, and the middle ranks have all been slaughtered!"
"Thank you for your concern, but it's just some small matters that aren't worth mentioning. If you're going to worry about anything, it's the Beast Tide that's coming."
Lin Futian calmly replied with his hands behind his back.
"The Beast Tide came earlier than expected, luckily we've prepared one or two months in advance, or we would have been caught off guard by the beasts!"
Zhou Quan, the Martial Commander from the Zhou family, frowned and said solemnly.
"Everyone, it's been a year since we last encountered that creature, and it's probably gotten stronger again. Don't let your guard down!"
Base Governor Xiao Longyu's tone was heavy.
Hearing this, a trace of worry flashed in the eyes of the other four.
That creature had grown stronger every year.
In the past, they could easily handle it, but as time passed, their own progress had been left far behind!
A faint sound echoed from far away.
The warriors below didn't hear it, but the Martial Commanders in the air sensed it immediately.
The five of them stood still like statues, waiting quietly.
Soon, a dark shadow appeared on the horizon.
Upon seeing it, the warriors below became agitated.
With the order from the leaders, all the warrior teams quickly took battle positions!
In the sky, the five Martial Commanders had already spotted the familiar figure at the edge of the horizon with their sharp eyesight. Chapters first released on novel✶fire.net
It was a massive white ape.
Its size was as tall as a mountain, and every step it took left a giant footprint on the ground.
Its muscles were as solid as rocks, and the white fur on its body swayed in the wind.
It seemed almost human-like with its dark golden eyes. Just staring into those eyes was enough to make anyone feel an unprecedented killing intent!
What caught the five commanders' attention the most was the savage scar on the white ape's face.
That scar had been left by Base Governor Xiao Longyu last year.
And at that time, the scar had already cost the white ape its life!
