Chapter 484 - Preparation For Battle (1/2)

Alex started getting worried more and more. He ran around inside the formation wondering if there was any special place, hoping even that there was one. However, no matter what he did, the feeling just wouldn't go away.

Instead, it grew more and more, and soon the beasts would come here. He had an hour or two at most, maybe even less.

”No, no, no, no. I have to do something. I need to run away from here, or this place will turn to hell,” Alex thought.

His masters, his senior brother and sister, his friends, and everyone else he ever cared about in this game, in this world, they were all here. If the reason they were hurt ever turned out to be him, he would never forgive himself.

”What should I do?” he started thinking. The only thing he could think of was to go ask the Royal Alchemist for help.

However, the best he could do was keep away the other beasts. The Saint beast would still be a problem. Given the aura he felt from the Royal Alchemist today, he wouldn't even be a match for him.

The man wasn't that high even in the True realm, and so none of the pills he could make would ever do anything to the Saint beast.

The next thing he thought of was flying away on his boat as far away from the city as he could.

The beasts were coming from the south, so that was a no-go. The east and the west too wasn't far away from the beast horde attack and he would be found within minutes.

As for the north, that was where he had flown last time to get away from the beasts and it had worked. However, this time, going north meant going towards the forbidden field, and there was no way for him to run away there.

Even if he did, he would maybe escape from the saint beast, but the thousands upon thousands of other beasts would surely destroy the entire city, killing everyone there.

Neither of the 2 ideas he had could save the ones he cared about in this place. There was only a single thing that he could think of that could save them.

He started deliberating on whether to do that or not.

Wen Cheng was in a meeting and hadn't had time to check the talisman that kept on buzzing in his storage bag.

He would be done with the meeting in just a few minutes so he decided to check it later.

”When do we go back to a normal schedule, sect leader? We've been doing this for a week now,” an elder said.

”Just a few more days. There should be a beast attack happening soon. As soon as that takes place, we will go back to our normal schedule. The routines will go back to normal too,” Wen Cheng said.

”Is there really a beast attac—”

SLAM

A door suddenly opened surprising everyone. Wen Cheng was about to scold the person coming in so rudely when he saw that it was his own disciple.

Luo Mei rushed inside, amidst the eyes of the many elders, who were dissatisfied with her behavior.

”Master, did you get the message?” she asked.

”What message? Why did you barge in like that? We have a meeting going on in here,” Wen Cheng said.

”The Beast Horde, it's coming. You should have gotten a message,” Luo Mei said.

”What?” Wen Cheng said in surprise and took out the talisman to read it. As she had said, there indeed was a message from Alex letting him know the beast horde was coming.

”Elders, the time is here. Get everyone ready; we will be going to battle with the beasts,” Wen Cheng said.

The elders looked around in surprise.

”Hurry!” Wen Cheng shouted.

The elders didn't dare delay anymore. As everyone was walking out, Wen Cheng called out to an elder.

”Get me the communication talisman to the capital,” he said. The elder nodded and quickly ran away to get the communication talisman.

”Where's your junior brother?” he asked.

”He just left my house, saying he had something to do,” Luo Mei said.

”Alright. Go to him, and see if you can get any more information from him. Any little information can help us a lot,” Wen Cheng said.

”Yes master,” Luo Mei said and ran away.

The elder returned with the communication talisman which Wen Cheng immediately used.

”Warning! I am Wen Cheng, sect leader of The first grade Tiger sect. The Beast Horde is coming. Please transfer the messages to all cities in the empire,” Wen Cheng said.

He repeated the message two more times before stopping. If they didn't get the message by then, there was nothing else he could do.
