Chapter 655 The Beast Tide is Coming
"How's the situation over there?"

"Not optimistic."

Elena's projection appeared in front of Celia, who was communicating with her to inquire about the situation at the source of pollution in the Elf Forest.

Elena looked very serious.

"The first wave of monsters has reached the area underground where the pollution source is located. Those monsters destroyed the signal tower built by the investigation team. They discovered that the pollution is leaking to the surface."

"Has it come to this?" Celia frowned slightly and asked, "What about the Royal Guard? Have they done anything?"

“I saw the royal guards go underground and they didn’t return until the next day. When they came back, they were a third fewer in number.”

Elena's expression grew even more somber, and even through the projection, Celia could sense her worry.

"Is the Kingdom of Phoenix over?" Celia asked.

“The Kingdom of Phoenix?” Elena paused, then shook her head. “I don’t know.”

"Ok."

Expecting Elena to know this is a bit of a stretch.

"The Royal Guard suffered such heavy losses, did they do anything afterward?" Celia asked.

"They stopped going underground. The Elf King personally ordered the cessation of all underground investigations and converted all investigators into special teams to stand by on the surface. Incidentally, they also used some spells that could accelerate distance to bombard the underground... I don't know if these spells caused any damage, because the underground is too deep."

As she spoke, Elena sighed and added:
"Wang Ting has now completely controlled the area of ​​the pollution source cracks, and I can no longer get close. I can only watch from a distance. I don't know how well their investigation is going or if they have come up with any solutions."

"What about the other Elven forces? Have they gone to the source of the pollution?"

If other troops are deployed to the vicinity of the pollution source to stand by, it indicates that the situation is already very serious.

Elena shook her head. "I haven't seen any other troops arrive yet, but they should be here in a few days... Celia, what are those Phoenix Kingdom troops you mentioned? Are they planning to send troops into the Elven territory to interfere in Elven affairs?"

Celia said, "I'm just guessing. It seems there's some movement in the Kingdom of Phoenix. The Elven Royal Court should know about it."

"Ok."

Haven't you made up your mind yet?

“Proactively exposing myself now will not help the beast tide at all. If the Kingdom of Phoenix really sends a mage force to help, I think I may not need to expose myself.”

Elena seemed to relax a bit.

Celia raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you worried that while the Kingdom of Phoenix is ​​coming to help, they might also change the dynasty of the Elven Royal Court?"

"Surely... no way? The elders of the Elf Royal Court are all sixth-tier mages, they can't be taken down by Phoenix so easily, can they?"

Elena spoke, her confidence waning.

The Kingdom of Phoenix keeps a low profile, but the people generally believe they are the strongest, and Elena couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

However, it didn't take long before Elena started laughing again.

"Why should I worry about this? If Phoenix wants to invade the Elf race, the Elf King should be the one who is most worried. What can I do now?"

She paused, then added, "I've heard that the Kingdom of Phoenix is ​​known for its efficiency. They may be a bit mysterious, but if we could add that efficiency to the Elven race, I don't think it would be a bad thing..."

"What if they only want the Elf Forest and not the Elf race, and drive you all away?"

"Forget it then."

"Pfft!"

After chatting for a while, Elena took her leave, preparing to continue her covert observation of the Royal Guard's situation and whether the beast tide would actually emerge. Meanwhile, Celia remained at the Border Guard Knights' camp.

Melina did not send anyone to 'protect' her; whether she was in the camp or leaving the camp, no one stopped her.

Seeing this, she did not attempt to enter the elven territory to see Melina's reaction.

Anyway, there's nothing she can do before the beast tide arrives, so let's see if the elves can withstand it.

Time passed quietly.

Within a few days, news quickly spread from the Elf Forest.

The beast tide has truly begun.

The first to emerge were those fourth-tier monsters.

They seem to be able to learn.

They seemed to see the sorcerers who entered the underground investigation flying, or perhaps they wanted to leave through the huge rift to see the unknown world, or perhaps it was a ritual performed by the Temple of Resurrection that made them eager to escape or expand their territory.

So they learned to fly.

Riding the wave of pollution, they surged out from underground with the roar of cannonballs, a deafening sound that heralded the start of the beast tide.

The first monsters to charge out naturally became cannon fodder, without even splashing a drop of water.

But then, more and more monsters learned to 'fly'.

Whether it's a monster below rank four or a monster with strength above rank four.

They all learned to take advantage of the waves of pollution, riding the waves of pollution to rise from the ground.

This number is increasing, and increasing.

Gradually, the number of cases became so large that the royal guards and the investigation team were unable to handle them.

This matter quickly became known to other empires, but it has not yet been disclosed to the public.

It wasn't until five days after the first monster emerged that the elven reinforcements were unable to stop the horde of beasts that spewed out like diarrhea. The source of the horde was discovered by other passing elves and travelers, and the news quickly spread among the people, causing a huge uproar.

Subsequently, skilled sorcerers and bards among the common people meticulously pieced together the clues and quickly discovered the source of the beast tide, as well as the information concealed by the Elven Royal Court.

At this time, other empires quickly expressed their views on the diplomatic front, stating that if the elves were unable to resist the beast tide, they could send troops to provide support.

The Elven Royal Court naturally stepped forward and declined other empires' proposals to send troops into the Elven territory, but they would accept any offer of weapons and equipment.

Under international pressure, other empires also sent a lot of outdated equipment to help the elves resist the beast tide.

When the Elven Kingdom rejected other empires, it also stated that they could handle the monsters emerging from the pollution source rift, since these monsters could only come from that place. They could wipe out all the monsters by using large-scale destructive weapons, that is, forbidden spells. However, they could control them now, so there was no need for them.

This statement initially gave people around the world confidence.

Although the elves are weak, they have demonstrated considerable strength.

There are quite a few sixth-tier mages as well; if they were to take action, they could also resolve the beast tide disaster.

Until the first elven village was overwhelmed by a beast tide, and all the elves perished, including many travelers from other empires.

This trust collapsed.
