"Sir,"

"Sir,"

"Sir," a cacophony of voices went screaming but the individual being talked to ignored them.

Ignoring the officers that were already there or still yet to come, Gudzil quickly left his office and went rushing towards the town's wall.

With his strength, Gudzil's movements caused a little chaos in the town, but he ignored the discontent and quickly raced for the wall, quickly climbing to its top and looking at the forest that stood a distance away.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Though Gudzil saw no beast, the forest still having a certain calm to it, the erratic behaviour of the few birds he could see in the air told him that things weren't alright within it and there was something amiss.

"How is this possible" Gudzil thought as he griped his fist tightly.

Just three months ago, the town had been nearly wiped out by a beast tide, and then sometime earlier they had also been nearly visited by a rank 8 beast, this near visit being the cause of hundreds of deaths

It seemed like Ukota town had some ill fate with beast this year and were doomed to be destroyed by them.

They always said the third time was the charm and with this being the third attack from beasts, Gudzil feared that it would be the last one, the one which would destroy the town.

"Ahhhhhh" the man screamed within himself.

Just when things were starting to work out for him, this had to happen, he had just barely begun enjoying life to the fullest and now he had to consider the possibility of death

Before his mind could go spiralling down a path of lamentations, Gudzil focused it on what was important at the moment.

With a beast tide having just happened some months ago, a new tower had been built further into the forest to be used as a forward base.

Though Gudzil had no idea what the base had been built for as even he lacked the clearance to access such information, he was more than aware of when the research team had upped and left and so had posted some of his men to house the place.

With this move, Gudzil had inadvertently placed forward scouts in the forest and now this casual action of his had proven to be priceless as he had gotten a heads up on the incoming beast tide way before it hit.

Unlike last time when they had been taken and hit by surprise, this time though they were still surprised, at least they could make some preparations for it.

Just as Gudzil, turned away from the forest, the first of his military officers ascended the wall and reached him, the man wheezing as he tried to catch his breath after putting his all into chasing after their mayor.

"Sir what is the strategy" the man wheezed out when he saw Gudzil's piercing stare, hoping to throw off any ill thoughts his leader was having for him.

"Strategy, are you daft."

Gudzil calmly berated his officer a scowl on his face.

"Tell everyone to head for the bunkers immediately."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"Sire the bunkers are not yet completed" the man began but Gudzil's eyes narrowed, sending the man swallowing and nodding his head with sadness in his eyes, and without delay, he immediately departed.

Though the officer's words on the bunker being incomplete were true, at the moment they weren't really spoilt for choice, an incomplete bunker meant the infrastructure was going to be weak and most importantly, it meant there wouldn't be sufficient space within it for everyone in the town.

With a beast tide having just happened not too long ago, who would have predicted that another would be happening so soon.

In terms of weapons, fortification and military power the town was still heavily lacking.

In some area of the towns, destruction that had taken place in the last beast tide were still visible and to top it off, the town had no guardian. 

The guardian position was one that he was meant to fill when he got stronger, but that was a thing of the far future, a future that the town could not wait for.

Already trusting his officer to disseminate the news and organize the movement, Gudzil's next move was to personally oversee the defence of the city.

Gudzill was just about to put his feet into action once more when a voice originating quite close to him reached his ears.

"You look familiar.

"Who, what," Gudzil thought with panic as he hastily turned to see the enemy all the while moving back.

Though the walls were manned with men occasionally patrolling them, not every corner could always have a person and Gudzil was at such a location at the moment so by all logic he should have been the only one there, yet there was another voice.

His hands raised and dantian churning out qi, Gudzil turned to face the threat, but on seeing the person before him, shock claimed his face and confusion in his eyes.

Though Gudzil didn't know the name of the person before him despite his attempt to learn it, he knew the face and despite the weird clothing the man currently had on, he recognized him immediately when he saw him.

"Sir, you're here"

"Ahh, so we do know each other" the person who could only be Seth said nodding his head.

After his fruitless search of Lukta forest's mysteries, Seth had decided to head for the very familiar town close to it, and as he reached it, he spotted a familiar face.

"With the tiger sir, you gave me the tiger to protect you" Gudzil stammered, still trying to come to terms with who was before him.

"Yep, I remember that," Seth said with a nod, truly remembering everything about the man his name even popping in his head.

"Well, it's good to see you Gudzil, this makes things easier, come lead me to the mayor."

Gudzil blinked after Seth's words, confused by them and then he hastily spoke.

"Sir I'm now the mayor of the town, please help us, we're about to be hit by a beast tide.
