In the grand competition among the myriad races and the fierce rivalry among lords, resources hinge solely on seizing opportunities.

Xiaoa has also grown apathetic.

After constructing an auxiliary castle, she has ceased to concern herself with her castle's level, directing all her resources towards upgrading the barracks.

Now, the barracks of the auxiliary castle have reached parody with those of the main castle.

Should the main castle face ruin one day, it would be a significant loss.

Hence, proximity to a powerful ally offers the utmost reassurance.

One must always cling to a strong supporter.

At this moment, Xiao Liian Shuer is in the castle courtyard, devouring a roasted pig's troder, her face glistening with grease, while Bayu sits nearby, deep in contemplation.

Ally, are you really not going to eat? Xiao Liu inquires, munching away.

I won't.

You should refrain from calling me ally.

It feels rather awkward.

Just call me by my name.

by your replies.

No sooner has she spoken than a wraith emerges from the portal, prompting by you to spring to her feet.

Could there be a situation unfolding in Hapne Province? Esteemed Queen, there's a massive beast hide near the castle over there.

A beast tide? How can there be a beast tide in the Bay Mountains? Could it be those dwarves driving them? Bayou exclaims, "Quickly, stop eating.

There is an emergency on your end.

" She hastily pulls Xiao Yianua towards the castle exit, causing the pig's trotder to fall to the ground, leaving Xiao Yianua with a pained expression.

Oh, my pig's trotder.

Chapter 111.

The lord at your doorstep in the northern reaches of the Bayan mountains.

A castle lies situated 100 lee from the region of Hapuni.

The lord of this castle is named Mo Ai and it bears her name.

Mo AI remained hidden until the beast tide concluded.

And only tonight did she uncover the location of Xiao Yiani's castle.

Upon realizing that Xiao Yiani's forces comprised solely of dwarves, she unhesitatingly launched an assault on the castle.

Her troops consisted of griffins, which held a distinct advantage in the mountainous terrain of the Bayan Mountains.

However, she possessed an additional weapon, the ability to control and influence certain lower tier beasts, urging them into action.

At this moment, Mo AI stood at top a mountain, accompanied by a griffin crouched at her side as she played a melody on her flute.

The music incited the beast below into a frenzy, compelling them to launch a reckless attack on Xiao Liua's castle.

M O AI intended to deplete the enemy's main forces with the beast tied after which the griffins would swoop in to finish the job.

The strategy was sound, but the first step encountered a complication.

The horde of beasts she commanded proved entirely ineffective as a swarm of flying creatures emerged from the castle below, mercilessly decimating the beast tide.

While Emmo AI remained puzzled above, she was oblivious to the fact that her commotion had been detected by nearby dwarven soldiers.

The Firebeard clan's dwarves had already received orders to scout the Bayin Mountains for foreign entities, and the beast tide, MO AI, had conjured during the night was conspicuously apparent.

Given the naturally sparse wildlife in the Bay Mountains, the sudden emergence of a beast tide was exceedingly unusual.

At this moment, a top a nearby peak, several patrolling dwarves peered through their telescopes toward Xiao Yianu's castle, faintly discerning a glimmer of light, the black hawks circling overhead relayed the observed intelligence, further solidifying the dwarf suspicions.

Without delay, the dwarves descended the mountain, hastily relaying the information back to their clan.

Meanwhile, Bayou had once again traversed the portal with Xiaoli and Shua.

As soon as Bayou emerged, she swiftly distanced herself from Xiaoli and Shua, aware that she would soon transform into a whirlwind of fury.

I just had dinner.

Oh dear, forget about your dinner.

Soon your home may be raided, Bayu remarked as she ventured outside.

It was merely a beast hide after all, and the undead would certainly manage.

Given the unusual circumstances, the specters would undoubtedly submit their routine reports, and Bayou intended to investigate the origins of the beast tide.

Initially, Bayou suspected that Xiao Yinua's castle had likely drawn the attention of the dwarven kingdom, thus leading to her troubles.

However, upon arrival, Bayou found the beast tide to be so feeble that even the skeletal warriors she had dispatched would struggle against them.

Xiaoi Inu's town lacked the fortifications of a wall, allowing the beast to rampage unchecked outside the castle.

The portal stood as a vital structure connecting the two realms and was under the vigilant protection of the undead, thus remaining unscathed.

The grand doors of the portal were a jar, and the orange red glow of the portal suddenly intensified, capturing Emo AI's attention from a top the mountain.

Is someone approaching the portal? Could it be an ally? Due to Bayou's lack of night vision, she could only activate her left eye to begin surveying her surroundings.

The beast hide was remarkably feeble, evidently a product of human manipulation, distinctly different from the sensations induced by the systems control.

Upon activating her left eye, Bayou's senses were instantaneously heightened.

A melodious sound reached her ears.

A tune so subtle that it would have gone unnoticed had she not engaged her enhanced vision.

It resembled the sound of a musical instrument.

Standing still, Bayou concentrated on discerning the origin of the sound, which seemed to emanate from all directions, rendering it impossible to pinpoint its source.

Xiao Inshua stood nearby, refraining from interrupting, aware that Bayou might have detected something significant.

Indeed, the prowess of a master was evident.

Her heterocchromatic eyes radiated a luminous charm.

At that moment, a distant death mage flew over, landing beside by you, my queen.

There exists a soundbased magic on the battlefield, which is controlling this pack of beasts.

It was apparent that someone well-versed in magic possessed a breath of knowledge.

Can we locate this individual? Bayou inquired of the nearby death mage, understanding that identifying their location would facilitate further action.

She was indifferent to the beasts.

Such a weak onslaught could never breach Xiao Lienua's castle.

The primary objective was to find that person and engage in amicable resource sharing.

The queen can instruct the gargoyless to disperse and scout the surroundings.

They possess a keen sensitivity to magic and will swiftly locate the source.

The death mage suggested to Bayou.

Recognizing the soundness of this strategy, Bayou agreed.

The gargoyless and obliterators were indeed adept at detecting magical energies and would effortlessly uncover the enemy's position.

Without hesitation, Bayou commanded the gargoyles to cease their skirmish and spread out, confident that even these skeletal warriors and wraiths could easily overpower the beasts.

She refrained from involving the dwarves in combat as they were valuable future workers.

Each lost was a loss of potential.

The dwarves concealed within the castle were astounded by the combat prowess of the undead.

What they had perceived as perilous beasts were easily dispatched by the spectral forces.

Furthermore, the number of undead was substantial, not significantly inferior to that of the beasts.

For the first time, the dwarves acknowledged the formidable strength of their new mistress.

At top the mountain, MO AI continued to play her flute, intent on exhausting the beast before commanding the griffins to launch a surprise attack on Xiao Liu's castle.

At this juncture, Moai was still in the process of assessing the defensive capabilities of Xiao Liu stronghold.

Should the beast fail to inflict significant damage, she would lead her griffins to pillillage and then retreat, assured that the aerial creatures could elude any pursuing ground forces among the unending mountain ranges.

Naturally, annihilating the castle would be the ideal outcome.

Just then, a gargoyle soaring in the sky detected a stronger magical fluctuation at this location compared to others and immediately veered toward it.

Emo AI looked up to suddenly find a 2-meter tall winged creature hurtling toward her.

Moi was takenback just as he contemplated ceasing his melody to counter the gargoyle.

The griffin beside him reacted first, soaring into the sky and lunging towards the stone creature.

This griffin, a creature of commanding stature, faced off against the gargoyle, which was merely a level five ordinary being, thus posing no match for the majestic beast.

The gargoyle's wings were swiftly torn aunderder by the griffin, and its body, a fusion of stone and metal, was shattered upon impact, plummeting downwards.

Moai heaved a sigh of relief.

Had he halted his playing, the wild beast would have regained their senses and scattered in flight.

However, he was acutely aware that his position had been compromised, necessitating a swift resolution to the unfolding chaos.

Chapter 112.

Bayou takes action.

The sound of the gargoyle's body shattering nearby was effortlessly captured by Bayou, who immediately turned her gaze towards MMO AI's direction.

She discerned a small black ascending into the air, gradually enlarging with the sound of a flute becoming increasingly distinct.

Following Mo AI, the hidden griffins surged into the sky, revealing dozens of them in an instant.

You truly dare to come? By scoffed, noting that while she had not sought out MO AI, the latter had come rushing to her instead.

Huh? What? Xiao Yianua, still in a state of confusion, followed by line of sight and vaguely spotted dozens of small black dots soaring towards them.
