Marquis Duncan's territory was rich in natural resources, and the climate was more suitable for ordinary people to live in than the northern part of the kingdom. As a result, the entire marquis 'territory developed and prospered. The taxes paid almost every year were ranked in the top three among the many marquis' territories.
One day, in the depths of the Bloody Swamp to the west of the marquis 'territory, a shocking roar suddenly came. Then, countless ferocious beasts roared, and all the beasts below level eight scattered like birds and beasts. No one dared to approach the depths of the Bloody Swamp.
(The previous chapter 23 was written wrongly. Rank 2 to 4 beasts correspond to the warrior level, but it was written as the warlord level. Here, it should be explained that rank 5 to 7 beasts correspond to the warlord level among humans. Rank 8 to 10 beasts correspond to the wargod level. Rank 11 beasts are also called beast lords. Their strength is more than half of the nine-star wargod level but slightly weaker than the transcendent level. Then there are rank 12 beast kings, which correspond to the transcendent level.)）
What followed was the earth-shattering aftershock of the battle.
A huge beast's body was sent flying out from the depths of the Bloody Swamp. It was a huge beast that was nearly a hundred meters long. Along the way, it crushed countless level 7 and level 8 beasts, scaring all the beasts in the Bloody Swamp into fleeing towards the periphery of the swamp.
Roar!
The roar from the depths soared into the sky.
A large area of the forest could be vaguely seen frozen. Some of the ferocious beasts 'bodies were directly frozen into ice sculptures, reflecting beautiful rays of light under the sunlight.
On this day, the entire marquis territory suffered.
Especially Duncan City, which was adjacent to the west of the marquis 'territory, was directly attacked by a large number of fierce beasts.
If it wasn't for the fact that this was the headquarters of the Duncan family, with many eight or nine star battle generals and even wargod level experts guarding it, just this huge beast tide would be enough to turn the entire Duncan City into ruins.
Even so, the beast tide that lasted for three days still made the entire Duncan family suffer.
Many of the clan's experts had died in battle. In just three days, the clan's strength had been reduced by more than 70%.
With such a huge loss, if it wasn't for the fact that the wargod level powerhouse of the Duncan family hadn't fallen yet, there would have been people who harbored ill intentions and were ready to move.
Even so, the Duncan family could forget about expanding their family's power in the next twenty to thirty years.
Moreover, it was still unknown whether such a huge loss could be replenished in 20 to 30 years!
......
Marquis Duncan's Residence.
The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive, making it hard for people to breathe.
The core members of the Duncan Family all had gloomy expressions. It was as if the words "I'm very angry" were written on their faces.
At this moment, a figure walked in quickly from outside the hall.
"Tell me, what did you find?"
Marquis Duncan, who was sitting at the head of the table, asked with a dark face.
" Sir, we investigated the depths of the Bloody Swamp and found that a large area of the forest was frozen. We also found the corpses of many Level 8 Ferals. We suspect that a Level 9 Feral Beast fought in the Bloody Swamp, which caused the Feral Beast Tide."”
"There are level nine fierce beasts in the Bloody Swamp?”A golden-haired man on the left asked.
"I don't think so, but we can't rule out the possibility that a foreign rank 9 fierce beast entered the Bloody Swamp.”The person below explained. He then looked at Marquis Duncan and said,""Sir, our people didn't find any traces of the level nine beast in the depths of the Bloody Swamp. It should have left.”
Hearing this, everyone present could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
As everyone knows, a level eight beast already has the strength of a three star wargod. If the level nine beast in the Bloody Swamp was still there, with the strength of a level nine beast comparable to a six star wargod, the Duncan family would not be able to deal with it.
At that time, they would have no choice but to ask the wargod experts of the kingdom for help.
However, there was a price to pay for inviting a wargod expert from a kingdom to help.
Even if the Duncan Family was an old Marquis Family, after paying such a huge price, they would still be injured.
Not to mention, the Duncan Family had suffered heavy losses and needed a lot of resources to nurture new people.
They were really unwilling to bear such a price.
Fortunately, that level nine fierce beast seemed to have only passed by the Bloody Swamp and had already left.
"Since it was caused by a rank 9 fierce beast, there's no need to continue investigating.”Marquis Duncan immediately gave the order, and then he gave a few more orders. Firstly, the beast tide had just receded, and the city needed a large number of people to reorganize. Secondly, their family needed to cultivate new blood, and Marquis Duncan had to personally preside over this matter.
Otherwise, he would not be at ease.
After all, this was related to the development of the family in the next few decades. He could not be careless.
As for sending people to investigate the cause of the beast tide, it was also because Marquis Duncan suspected that there were other families behind it.
In history, it was not as if there were no experts who controlled ferocious beasts, causing a large number of territories to fall.
One had to know that fierce beasts above Tier 8 already possessed a certain level of intelligence. As long as they paid a price, they could be tamed.
However, after knowing that the beast tide this time was caused by a beast at least level nine, Marquis Duncan cast aside his doubts.
After all, if their enemy could really control a level nine fierce beast, why would they bother?
Just one level nine fierce beast was enough to exterminate their Duncan family.
There was no need to command any beast tide at all.
