Fenyu Continent.
The Mist Tide erupted, and the Beast Tide followed close behind. Every fortress was fighting, but the coastal fortresses had it even worse, as vast numbers of sea beasts poured out of the Mist Sea onto the continent.
Mu Lei, Silad, and the Sacred Dragon Prince were all absent, leaving the commanders of the Five Great Legions to direct operations in their respective war zones.
As the pressure mounted, even the legion commanders began to buckle.
Mandero, commander of the Black Wind Legion, sat in headquarters, watching the warnings flash incessantly from fortresses everywhere. His brow grew increasingly furrowed.
"Quick, send five War Kings to Grayrock Fortress! The sea beasts have already made landfall there!" Studying the map, he urgently ordered his staff officer.
"Commander, we have no War Kings left! The last squad has already been dispatched to the North Sea and White Tower Fortress!" the staff officer said urgently, wiping away sweat.

"Quick, try contacting Governor Mu Lei again! When are they coming back? If they don't return soon, Fenyu Continent is finished!" Mandero said through clenched teeth.
"We've been calling continuously, but we haven't received any response!" The staff officer kept wiping away sweat, looking even more distressed than he did.
