"That's right."

Shi Tao nodded, almost as if he could read minds, "The situation this time is different from the previous times."

"What!"

"Different!"

"President, are you saying...?"

Suddenly, exclamations erupted throughout the conference room.

Guessing is one thing.

Actually hearing it, that's another matter entirely.

"President, are you saying the Fierce Beasts are really serious this time?"

"Like ten years ago, they want to wipe out our Yan Country?"

"No, it can't be, right?"

"Everyone quiet down and listen to the president finish speaking."

The room fell silent again.

"According to the information from the Awakened Association, there's a high possibility that a fourth Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beast has appeared, which is probably the direct reason why the Fierce Beasts are launching this Beast Tide."

"The... fourth Beast Emperor Level?"

"Fourth one?"

"This..."

Everyone present was almost at a loss for words.

Once, five Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beasts almost left Yan Country powerless and nearly destroyed the nation.

Fortunately, with the strength of the entire country and the sacrifice of a generation of Celestial Masters, they used countless nuclear bombs to successfully blast two Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beasts to death, granting Yan Country a brief respite.

Yet, in less than ten years, a fourth Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beast has emerged?

Even a fool would understand the significance of this.

Shi Tao glanced at Chang Fei, who understood, and activated the projector while saying:

"According to satellite photos taken last night, countless Fierce Beasts are coming from all directions towards the heartland of Yan Country. At this speed, they might reach the outskirts of those small cities in two days."

Soon after, the images on the projector became clear.

On the screen, there were countless small black dots, like an ocean, boundless and vast.

"This is an aerial view."

Chang Fei switched to another picture.

The central circle is a city in Yan Country.

Three super-large cities are marked conspicuously by pentacle stars.

Outside, there are more than a dozen large cities, including Jiangnan City.

Further out, there are dozens of medium-sized cities and hundreds of small cities.

From the outermost small cities to the very center, about ten centimeters in diameter, yet the image shows the Beast Tide coming from all directions at a diameter ten or twenty times larger!

And literally beyond that is the true ocean.

But due to the world's changes, it has long become a forbidden zone for the Human Race, with even the three S-Class Awakened individuals not daring to venture there lightly.

Everyone stared at the vivid imagery, mouths agape, unsure of what to say.

Aside from the first time, the subsequent Beast Tides never reached such a scale.

In the satellite images, the ratio was merely one to two, one to three at most.

But this time, it's ten or more!

There's no telling whether more will crawl out from the ocean afterward.

Within the image, the short distance of less than one centimeter, the Beast Tide can absolutely arrive within two days. In fact, some vanguard units may get here tonight.

By then, these small cities on the outskirts will surely fall in one swift move.

The fall of those medium-sized cities will just be a matter of time.

Ultimately, the Beast Tide of this scale will reach Jiangnan City, facing these large cities. Can Jiangnan City hold out?

If, by any chance they can't, Yan Country will be reduced to just the central three super-large cities, won't it?

If even they can't hold out, Yan Country will be truly finished...

"I'm telling everyone this so you can prepare for a fierce battle."

Shi Tao spoke steadily, "Our Human Race and the Fierce Beasts are destined to clash, sooner or later. Now that they're attacking, whether we're fully prepared or not, we have no choice—it's either fight or die, it's that simple."

"Yeah."

"That's right."

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Frankly, they naturally hoped this wouldn't happen.

But the Fierce Beasts certainly wouldn't care for their wishes.

Just as if a fourth S-Class Awakened emerged within Yan Country, they definitely wouldn't miss this chance to annihilate the Fierce Beasts.

"President, I understand. Rest assured, as long as I live in Jiangnan City, I won't let those beasts take a single step into my city!"

"That's right, if we live, the city lives! If we perish, the city falls!"

"Four Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beasts? Ten years ago, we could repel them, and ten years later, we can do the same!"

"What are you talking about? Ten years ago, they were lucky to escape with their lives. This time, they're not so fortunate. We should seize this chance to eradicate them completely!"

"Indeed, wipe them out completely!"

Many passionate youths stood up and fervently waved their fists.

However, the middle-aged attendees showed bitter smiles.

These youths had grown recently. Even if they've ventured out and killed Fierce Beasts, that's worlds apart from a true Beast Tide.

Beast Tides are aptly named—Fierce Beasts surge like a tide.

Within them, one loses sense of direction.

Most of the Fierce Beasts are below the Elite Level—ordinarily, seasoned Martial Artists and Awakened can kill them effortlessly.

But in a Beast Tide, no matter how many you kill, they are endless, and eventually, you may drop dead from exhaustion.

That's the terror of a Beast Tide.

And as for Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beasts...

Frankly speaking, if one ever reaches Jiangnan City, everyone here would be finished.

Maybe the President can still manage a fight, but no more than that.

"Alright,"

Shi Tao raised his hands to calm the excited crowd.

"Now that you know, go back and prepare. However, don't spread the word widely to avoid causing panic since the Beast Tide isn't at Jiangnan City's gates yet."

Upon finishing, he silently added:

"Although it's highly likely."

"Yes, President. Rest assured; we're not those who talk too much."

"President, we will keep it confidential."

"If there's nothing else, let's adjourn for now." Shi Tao nodded. The City Lord's Mansion also had an emergency meeting awaiting him.

After all, the Beast Tide really arrives here,

he would undoubtedly be one of the main forces in the city.

Everyone got up and walked out.

The president was right; knowing this news, they indeed needed to make some preparations first.

For instance, purchasing supplies first, bringing their relatives closer, informing some friends in smaller cities, and so on.

"President,"

Seeing everyone leave, Chang Fei hesitated and said, "Should we notify Brother Chen? I see the Beast Tide's speed; it will probably reach Anshan City by tomorrow at the latest."

"I suggest bringing Brother Chen to the headquarters?"

Shen Si hurriedly said, "Brother Chen's strength among True Essence Realm Martial Artists is top-notch. He can also improve Pill Formulas. Across our entire Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, no one can match him. If anything happens to him, it would be a significant loss for our association."

"Indeed."

Shi Tao nodded; he didn't need reminding as he already intended it.

"Chang Fei, notify Brother Chen immediately, explaining the seriousness of the situation. Ensure he moves quickly, or some bad things might happen."

"Alright, President, I'll take care of it. But once Brother Chen arrives, what about Ling Yu's side?"

"For now, let's not let them meet,"

Shi Tao said.

At that moment, his phone vibrated.

Checking the phone, his pupils widened before he instructed the two and quickly walked out.

Shen Si watched his departing figure with a complex expression.

"I'll call Brother Chen."

Chang Fei said, taking out his phone.
