It didn't take them long to reach the King Beast wave.

After all, the King Beast wave was currently heading north from the southern part of the Eastern Continent, heading towards Snow Wind City that was north of both True Light City and Green Wood City.

​​

With them heading south and the beast wave heading north, they came closer to each other at two times the normal speed.

Soon they were gathered at a spot that was still a few dozen kilometers away from the King Beast wave.

They deliberately chose to gather a few dozen kilometers away to give themselves some time to gather their forces. It would still be another half an hour before the King Beast wave would reach them.

During this time, they built up temporary defenses for their long range attackers while many different local forces gathered up with them.

Of course, there were also those that ignored their duties to humanity, but there wasn't time for them to deal with them right now.

In name, the forces gathered would be led by the commander of the Union Government force, but everyone knew it was the two Legendary Realm Experts who were the ones in charge.

Under them were the two helpers that they had brought, Lin Fan and Mu Dong Hai.

Mu Dong Hai hadn't been at the Union Government meeting since he was preparing a special weapon from the Mu Family on their airship.

When they had arrived at their destination and came out of the airship, he only gave Lin Fan a simple greeting before heading off to prepare for the fight. Lin Fan didn't mind since he also had to make his own preparations.

When push came to shove, humanity did band together. That was the one advantage that the Blue Star Realm had, they were bonded as humanity against the Beast Race since the formation of the Union Government.

Albeit there were a few cases of traitors here and there, but there was nothing that was perfect in this world.

As time passed, soon they could hear the thundering sounds of the beast wave and see the clouds of dust that were raised by the millions of beasts that were charging their way.

According to the scouts and Lin Fan's scouting through Brainy, there were close to two million beasts that were a part of this Beast Wave. At a conservative estimate, there were at least a few thousand Platinum Realm beasts and tens of thousands of Gold Realm beasts.

In comparison to this beast wave, the human forces were far from being able to compare.

Adding up all their forces, they barely had a thousand Platinum Realm Experts and a few thousand Gold Realm Experts.

The only thing that they had for them was their intelligence as humans since the only thing the beasts could do was charge forward as a wave. As for humans, they relied on their intelligence to fight, setting up all kinds of traps which was what they had been doing.

Finally, the first beasts of the beast wave appeared across the horizon and everyone tensed up at this moment.

They had made all the preparations they could make, but they knew that it would still be a very hard battle to fight.

Just the first wave of beasts had many beasts in the Gold Realm and even a few beasts in the Platinum Realm.

The defenses of the humans were split into two sides, with the Mu Family's forces taking the left side and the Lin Family's forces taking the right side.

Above them were the airships that they had brought, along with a few privately owned airships of the local families. These airships were floating above the forces, ready to provide air support with their cannons at any time.

Of course, these airships didn't dare float too far forward because there were still flying beasts that were a part of the beast wave. If they moved too forward and were swarmed by these flying beasts, it wouldn't take long before they were brought down.

On the ground, the front line of the defense were barricade spikes that were made of iron spikes with close range fighters behind them with various kinds of weapons.

Then behind that front line, there were various towers that were set up for the long range fighters to shoot down and provide support for the close range fighters.

There were also a few pit traps that were built in front of the front line, but no one expected much from them.

As the beasts approached, there were many that immediately fell into the pit traps and were impaled on the spikes. There were also plenty that fell in and weren't trampled by the spikes, but they were unable to get out since they were trampled over by the beasts that came from behind them. These pits were quickly filled up with the corpses of beasts that were trampled by the other beasts.

That was another disadvantage of the beast wave. When a force had too many numbers and all they did was charge, there was no way to ever stop that charge. If there was something that stopped the beasts in front, they would immediately be trampled under the pressure from behind them as countless beasts would smash into them with the force of the entire beast wave.

Just like that, there were beasts that were taken out without even a single human expert making a move, but the numbers that were taken down were only a drop in the bucket. There were simply just too many beasts and these traps were unable to stop their momentum at all.

The beasts trampled over their fallen comrades and continued forth, charging right at the barricade.

Lin Fan saw this and was about to make a move, but the Lin Family ancestor behind him took him by the shoulder and brought him back. Lin Fan turned back to see the Lin Family ancestor shaking his head.

The Lin Family ancestor didn't doubt that Lin Fan probably had some special moves that would help relieve the pressure the beast wave put on the front lines, but he was also quite experienced in dealing with beast waves. While Lin Fan making a move now would reduce their casualties, sometimes it was better to save these tricks as trump cards. Sometimes, it was necessary to make these sacrifices.

Lin Fan wasn't certain that this was the right move since he had his own ideas, but the Lin Family ancestor was many times older than he was, so he chose to follow his orders for now.

The beast wave was almost about to hit the front line when the second trap suddenly appeared.

There were giant plants that suddenly appeared out of the ground from behind the front line. These plants were vines that reached up to the sky with a giant head that seemed to be a peashooter.

Without any wasted time, these peashooters immediately began shooting out giant sized peas at the beast wave, crushing countless beasts under these giant projectiles.

Lin Fan couldn't stop his face from twitching when he saw these because they seemed very much like a certain character from a phone game that he had once played…

These peashooters were the preparations that Mu Dong Hai had been making during the Union Government meeting.

The Mu Family lived in Green Wood City which was a city surrounded in forests. As a city that was surrounded in forests, naturally there were all kinds of strange fauna that could be found in this city. These peashooters were one such example.

They were usually used to defend the city walls, but the Mu Family had brought half of their remaining seeds with them this time.

These peashooters continued blasting out giant sized peas that rolled through the wave of beasts, dealing quite a blow to the forces of the beast wave, but still it was only a drop in the bucket.

Up to this point, the various traps that they had used had only taken out tens of thousands of beasts, but that didn't matter at all since there were millions of them that were still coming.

Not to mention that with the level these traps were at, the stronger beasts simply avoided them.

The Gold Realm beasts jumped over the various pits and caught the peas that the peashooters were shooting out.

As the lower realm beasts were being culled by these traps, the front line of the beast wave was soon replaced by higher realm beasts.

Soon, most of the Iron Realm beasts had been completely killed off. The first wave of this beast wave was soon filled with pure Gold and Silver Realm beasts with a sprinkling of Bronze Realm beasts that had special skills which allowed them to avoid the trap.

These were the only two sets of traps that the human forces had prepared.

Once the beasts were through this line of defense, a clash between the human experts and the beasts would be imminent.

The beasts pushed on through without care for their fallen enemies and soon they entered the range of the long range fighters. Once they did, the long range fighters released their attacks upon these beasts, but they couldn't do much damage since there were only high cultivation beasts left in this front line.

Everyone knew that once they entered this range, it would already be too late.

The beasts pushed right through these long range attacks and soon they were right at the iron spike barricade.

It didn't take long before the first beast had reached the barricade.
