Chapter 41: Beast Tide Feast!

As the warhorses galloped at full speed, Gervas led Lei Meng and the other knights across the pasture.

"My lord, according to Captain Lauren's description, once we cross the pasture, we leave the territory and enter the Chaotic Wasteland!"

Knight Commander Lei Meng, seeing they were venturing deeper and deeper, could not help but speak up to remind him.

Although Gervas was now a Bronze Knight as well, in this dangerous area, a Bronze Knight's ability to protect himself was actually quite limited.

"Knight Commander Lei Meng, I understand; we should not venture too far!"

Knight Commander Lei Meng nodded, and the group continued to advance deeper.

About half an hour later, before a small hill, Knight Commander Lei Meng suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

Seeing this, Gervas immediately focused his mind to sense the surroundings.

After becoming a Title Knight, besides being able to continuously use battle qi, the five senses could also be greatly enhanced.

For instance, Gervas at this moment could even observe a fly fifty meters away.

Listening carefully for a moment, a rumbling sound faintly reached his ears.

The rhythm of this rumbling seemed as if ten thousand horses were galloping in a certain area.

Ten thousand horses fleeing?

We've arrived!

Gervas understood in his heart that his destination for this journey had been reached.

And what these rumbles represented was, of course, the beast tide.

Lei Meng happened to look at Gervas at that moment.

"Lei Meng, I have sensed it; this should be the target I brought you to. Come, let us go to the hill ahead and take a look!"

Amidst the confusion of Knight Mi Gen and the others, Gervas led Knight Commander Lei Meng and them to advance toward the hill.

When they reached the summit of the hill, fifty or sixty meters high, a vast expanse of flat wilderness grassland came into view before them.

And on the wilderness grassland at this moment, long dragons were constantly galloping wildly.

The dust they kicked up was like hundreds or thousands of steam trains racing about.

"A beast tide?!" Although Knight Commander Lei Meng had guessed at some possibilities just now, seeing the tens of thousands of wild beasts galloping with his own eyes still filled him with immense surprise.

"This... why have these wild beasts gone mad? This is too crazy!" Knight Mi Gen and the others spoke with trembling voices, their eyes wide as they watched the waves of hundreds or thousands of wild beasts in the distance.

"Zhuī Yuè said that in a remote place somewhere between the Death Mountain Range and the Chaotic Wasteland, a terrible incident occurred, causing many dark creatures to surge forth, which led to this beast tide!" Gervas explained.

"Dark creatures? No wonder it is like this; they are the natural enemies of all creatures, evil and fearless of death!" Lei Meng said solemnly.

"My lord, what should we do now?" As ordinary people, Knight Mi Gen and the others had a natural fear of dark creatures, and worry naturally showed on their faces.

"The matter of dark creatures is not for us to worry about; I brought you here this time for those wild beasts!"

"For those wild beasts?" Knight Mi Gen and the others were somewhat puzzled.

Such a beast tide, even if they were just ordinary wild beasts, seemed very dangerous; did my lord intend to take them hunting?

But venturing this deep into the Chaotic Wasteland for just a few meager prey did not seem worth it, did it?

However, Lei Meng's mind shifted, "My lord, do you intend to use the Magic Horn?"

"That is right; last night I had Blacksmith Luca drill holes in two Magic Horns, and when Zhuī Yuè and I left this afternoon, we had already tested them; the ability of these two Magic Horns is to attract wild beasts!"

"My lord, then what do you need us to do?" Knight Commander Lei Meng could not help but become excited.

He could increasingly not fathom this lord whose age was only four or five years older than his own daughter.

Because every time the lord did something, it was so unexpected, yet it made people's blood boil and filled them with anticipation.

Those were tens of thousands of wild beasts; even if they could obtain only one-tenth of them, it would still be a harvest of hundreds or thousands of wild beasts.

"I need you to enter those edge groups of the beast tide, then kill and frighten them, while I ride to the front and use the horn to lure them to change direction!"

"My lord, simply changing direction probably won't be of much use, right? Even after changing direction, we have no way to make them stop!" Knight Mi Gen asked again.

"Do you remember that deep trench one li behind us?"

Just as they had come here, they had encountered a deep trench cliff with a drop of more than ten meters and a length of several hundred meters.

And since seeing that deep trench, Gervas had determined it to be the 'hunting ground'.

And such deep trench cliffs were numerous near this Death Mountain Range; after receiving the intelligence, Gervas had actually already formed a plan.

With Gervas's description so straightforward, even Knight Mi Gen and the others could instantly understand Gervas's intentions.

Immediately, the knights rubbed their hands together excitedly, "My lord, then let us begin; the little ones cannot wait!"

Gervas nodded, but still solemnly warned, "Remember, only target small groups on the edge of the beast tide; I would rather repeat the process many times and gain less than to have you take risks."

"Compared to the harvest of a few wild beasts, you guardian knights are the most precious to me!"

The knights' spirits lifted, and their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Gervas, "My lord, we will definitely be careful!"

Next, everyone rushed simultaneously toward the distant beast tide.

Lei Meng and Knight Mi Gen and the others slowly inserted themselves into the ranks of the beast tide from behind, then slashed at the wild beasts on the side with their long swords, causing the wild beasts to fearfully crowd outward and thus detach from the main force of the beast tide.

And Gervas, utilizing Zhuī Yuè's speed, arrived in front of these beast tide groups, which numbered only over a hundred beasts, and then blew the Magic Horn.

With the sound of the horn, the leading wild beasts in the surroundings were gradually attracted by Gervas.

Gervas immediately controlled Zhuī Yuè to slowly move toward the side.

And the wild beasts in the rear, due to the sheep effect and also feeling uneasy because of the slaughter by Lei Meng, Knight Mi Gen, and the others, gradually completely detached from the main force and followed Gervas.

Just like this, Gervas blew the horn all the way while galloping, and about five or six minutes later, he arrived at the deep trench he had seen earlier.

"Zhuī Yuè, charge over!"

Roar!

Zhuī Yuè let out a long neigh and leaped directly into the air over the deep trench cliff.

The other wild beasts, bewitched by the Magic Horn, only realized the truth when they jumped over the cliff.

But it was already too late.

Amid terrified screams, the beasts all tumbled down the cliff, more than ten meters high.

Perhaps on Blue Star, such actions would be considered cruel.

But on this Continent of Glory, the law of the jungle prevails, and the human race is not even at the top of the food chain.

Thus, for humans, securing enough food is the only way to survive; there is no time yet to pity the beasts!

"My lord is mighty!"

Seeing over a hundred beasts captured, Knight Mi Gen and the others cheered and leaped with joy.

"Continue! Before the beast tide ends, let us lure as many more beasts as possible!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Thus, for the next hour or so, Gervas led Lei Meng and the others to repeat the same tactic, luring five or six more beast tides to this deep ravine and cliff.

Although, for safety, the size of each lured beast tide never exceeded two hundred.

Even so, by the time the beast tide ended, the number of beasts in the deep ravine had reached at least a thousand.
