Chapter 28: The Beast Tide

[ Announcement: The first town Lord has appeared! ]

[ Lucky Town, Lord Joey! ]

Joey was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the system to reveal to everyone that he had already leveled up his territory.

“I was thinking of keeping a low profile…”

He sighed, and Little Smart helped him sit on the brand new lord’s throne.

After the successful upgrading of the territory, all the furnishings and furnishings in the core castle had been upgraded.

He was now sitting on the classic giant throne, which was covered with a soft red blanket with golden edges. He rolled down the stairs.

.

Little Smart smiled and said to Joey, “Master, as a Supreme Being, your radiance is like the bright moon in the dark night. The bright light fills the entire world. Besides, your presence is already high enough.”

“Indeed, most of the Lords are also guessing that I’m the first person to become a town-level lord. It’s just that it won’t happen so soon.”

Joey browsed through the messages in the chat channel. At this time, he was the absolute focus.

[ F*ck, other than our announcement to enter the infinite continent, this is the first world announcement related to a personal Lord! ]

[ Boss Joey has leveled up to a beginner town so quickly? I’m still a rookie in an intermediate castle! I really envy and hate him! ]

[ Although I have an advanced castle, it’s still far away from leveling up to a town. All my resources have been used up getting to this point! How can Joey possibly be so rich?! ]

[ We’re just people of a different caliber! ]

[ Didn’t you all see Boss Joey selling so much equipment today? That’s a huge profit that he has just gained! Leveling up to a town is nothing strange! ]

[ Us trash can only lie on the ground and worship Boss Joey! ]

[ I wonder if there are any special rewards to be in the first announcement? The system will definitely give a big gift bag! ]

[ You should at least get epic-tier equipment! ]

[ It might even be god-tier equipment! It’s none of our business anyway! ]

[ The Dragon King’s Palace congratulates Joey! ]

[ The heavenly God’s palace congratulates Joey as well! ]

..

“Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any extra rewards.”

Joey stood on the high platform of the castle and looked at the rat people gathered together.

These dozens of rat people were his first batch of subjects.

The group of slave rats all lowered their bodies and shivered as they waited for their master’s decision.

Liang stood silently on Joey’s left side and looked coldly at the sky in the distance. There were a few black vultures circling in the sky, which was a small part of the Beast Tide.

Little Smart first spoke to the group of rat people on behalf of the “Official” will of the territory.

“My Lord is the Supreme Sovereign, the future Eternal Lord.”

“You are about to become the first batch of subjects in his territory. You should thank my Lord for his mercy.”

“You wil not be completely destroyed like your compatriots.”

“Now, declare your loyalty to my Lord and offer him your everlasting faith!”

“Long live Devil Lord Joey!”

When the rat people heard these words, they hurriedly shouted, “Long live devil Lord Joey!”

“Long live Devil Lord Joey!”

Joey also nodded slightly.

He had already received a little bit of faith power from the rat people.

He raised his hand and motioned for Little Smart to leave.

“You have received the Lord’s gift.”

“The house that you saw just now is your Lord Joey, my gift, my grace!”

“You should cheer for your Lord!”

Joey pretended to say a few words, and brainy immediately added.

“Long live the Lord!”

“Long live the Lord!”

The demon soldiers also cheered with the mouse people.

As Joey announced that he would give the mouse people food and freshly roasted meat, the mouse people slowly relaxed.

Joey could see that the loyalty of the mouse people had reached more than 80 points.

“Only more than 80 points? I thought there would be at least 90 points. Looks like it’s still quite difficult to increase loyalty in this world. My demons are really taking advantage of me.”

When the rat people arrived at their new home, they immediately began a barbecue party, filled with joy and encouragement.

The leader of the rat people stood out.

“My Lord, I think we need some weapons too.”

“Why? You can tell us your reasons. My demon soldiers should be enough to protect this territory.”

“We all feel that the beast tide coming will be of the same magnitude as the army of the Rat Empire. We will also need weapons to fight against the monsters that have entered the city.”

Joey agreed with the Rats’ reasons.

They had no reason to betray him as well.

“Indeed, the beast tide may be very large. The demons alone won’t be able to kill their way here.”

They climbed up the city wall and looked at the pairs of blood-red eyes in the dark forest outside. Joey could not help but swallow his saliva, even though he was also equipped with the eagle feather set that increased vitality and agility, with the loyal and fearless guards of the demon soldiers, they were still uncertain about the upcoming Beast Tide.

The best news was that the Monster Horde this time only seemed to come from the other side of the forest. The monsters in other directions were scattered.

After all, this was the first test. It shouldn’t be able to eliminate 99% of the lords, right.

Although Joey was worried, the demon soldiers were all rubbing their fists and showing no fear.

Brainy even directly said that he wanted to protect his master.

As a Succubus, Liang remained silent. He was only making delicious roasted meat for Joey. The roasted meat that was sprinkled with spices emitted a tempting aroma above the bonfire.

“Thank you, Little Smart!”

For the sake of safety, Joey did indeed want to stay with his level 8 subordinates.

“The book of territory in the main castle needs to be protected. Although there are other city walls protecting it, we still need to use our combat power to deal with the small group of monsters that might enter the territory. Liang, go guard the main castle!”

“Yes, Master.”

Liang the succubus could fly and was level 8 as well. She could quickly clear the monsters there and then return to help. Hence, Joey let her go to the other side of the territory first.

As for himself, he had to follow the rest of the army and the main force of the rat people to fight against the Beast Tide.

While Joey was getting ready, the lords all over the world began to notice the signs of the Beast Tide beginning.

The Beast Tide was different depending on the region they were in, and the monsters formed were also different.

For example, the forest area on Joey’s side was dominated by the swift and fierce Black Wolf Pack, and there were also some big bears, flying eagles, and so on.

An announcement suddenly appeared in the chat channel.

[ The Beast Tide has begun! ]

[ My Beast Tide is a large group of pythons! They have the ability to directly enter the city! I’m finished! ]

[ Death comes in just an instant! Brothers, I’ll be first to die! The Flying Eagle Army has started to besiege my Lord’s room on the top floor. The core of the territory is in danger! ]

[ Help! I don’t want to die yet! ]

[ Why?! Why are these monsters so damn strong? My troops are only level 4 or 5! Ahhhh! ]

The boundary between life and death became more and more obvious as the Beast Tide started.
