Before they had a chance to escape, disaster struck—a massive, once-in-a-century Beast Tide had erupted in the Rubel Forest!
Star Beasts and Beastmen preyed on each other. Every year before winter, the Beastmen, retaining their primal instincts, would hoard food for the season. In turn, starving Star Beasts would form a Beast Tide to attack nearby Beastman tribes and plunder their supplies.
In the decades since its founding, the Kordo Tribe had faced Beast Tides before and had measures to deal with them. But the scale of this one was utterly unprecedented!
Over a thousand Star Beasts, driven mad by hunger, had the entire tribe completely surrounded.
No one could get out alive.
The Kordo Tribe fought desperately against the Beast Tide, but in just one night, they suffered nearly a hundred casualties.
The old Clan Leader came to them personally and knelt on the ground, begging Lan Cang to stay and protect the tribe, to help the Kordo Tribe fend off this threat of annihilation.
