"Your Majesty, emergency! A large number of soul beasts have suddenly surged out of Maigela Province, forming a Beast Tide that's heading toward Star Luo City."
"What?"
Hearing the Messenger Officer's words, Dai Tianyu nearly flung the wine cup in his hand away. His eyes went wide, his expression filled with horror.
What number of gathered soul beasts could be called a Beast Tide? At the very least, it had to be five digits. A soul beast invasion of the empire on this scale was a first since the founding of Star Luo.
The officials great and small around him, as well as the imperial nobles, all fell silent, unable to speak. They did not know what to do either. If Heaven Dou invaded from the border, they could simply send armies and generals to suppress them, but against a Beast Tide, they had no combat experience!
Dai Tianyu's eyes shifted for a moment before he forcibly suppressed the trace of panic in his heart and asked the messenger:
"What is the Beast Tide's exact number? Are there Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts among them?"
He did not doubt the truth of the messenger's message. The man would never dare joke about something like this. Right now, they had to clarify the exact scale and strength of the Beast Tide, then quickly find a way to suppress or disperse it. If the Beast Tide truly broke through to Star Luo City, the losses would be far too great. Even his throne would no longer be secure.
