Blood Moon Nesting Convergence

As the blood moon season entered its middle and later stages, the blood moon grew ever stranger, the malice it radiated ever stronger. Thick, deep-red fog drifted slowly along valleys and rivers, as though it meant to shroud the entire world.

Several large nesting grounds grew increasingly restless. The Demon Beasts within stirred, fighting one another even as they surged toward human settlements.

"Beep, beep, beeeep!"

In the Reconstruction Institute's command hall, Echoing Platforms receiving messages from across the region sounded short alerts.

"A large beast herd has been spotted moving in the north."

The decoder had just copied the message onto Dong Zhu when another receiving platform immediately sounded an urgent signal.

"The observation nodes outside the Clearwater Defense Zone have also detected large numbers of Demon Beasts converging into nests."

Several more Echoing Platforms sounded in succession. Within minutes, multiple large Long Night Fiefs had sent distress signals.

This was nesting convergence.

The deep tides late in the blood moon season affected multiple tidal regions at once, merging their returning flows of magic. The previously scattered Demon Beasts gathered together and surged outward as one.

Their numbers had not actually increased by much. The danger lay in the fact that these Demon Beasts reached the defensive lines almost simultaneously, dealing a tremendous blow to humanity's defenses.

After the reports from several Echoing Platforms were marked on the master map, the discussions in the command hall gradually fell silent.

The Demon Beasts that had been roaming the Water Spirit and Windspine Defense Zones under Shien's command rapidly gathered, forming three torrents that advanced toward the Eternal Night Wall.

Everyone turned to Shien. A crisis of this magnitude required his personal decision.

But Shien did not deliberate long. He had already prepared a strategy during their repeated war games.
