Chapter 596: Warning, The Beast Tide Is Here! (2)
Beatrice sighed and said, “Super demon beasts are all ferocious and unapproachable fellows. I wonder what deal the Grand State Master made with them to convince them to agree to this cooperation.” Demon beasts had always hated humans. It was indeed difficult for Mo Xiao to convince those super demon beasts to fight and train with the students.
Others couldn’t guess the reason, but Yu Huang could.
Only she knew that the Grand State Master wasn’t a real human, but a member of the Divine Beast Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Instead of calling him a human, it would be better to say that he was a Divine Beast Clan member.
Super demon beasts hated humans like them, but their att.i.tude towards Mo Xiao was different.
However, Yu Huang couldn’t guess what deal they had made.
Click!”
The dormitory door opened and 500 students ran out of the dormitory unarmed. Then, they flew to the black iron wall and prepared to face the enemy.
The beast tide had already approached the foot of the Black Dome. They had completely surrounded the Black Dome, not giving them any way to escape. Yu Huang stood high up. With her extraordinary eyesight, she could clearly see that at the back of the beast tide, there were a few super demon beasts with imposing auras following behind.
One of the demon beasts had the body of a pig and three human brains on its huge body.
Who else could it be but that Pixiu Demon?
From the looks of it, those super demon beasts were the commanders of this group of low-level demon beasts.
This wasn’t a simple beast tide riot, but an organized and purposeful attack by the demon beasts.
“Sheng Xiao!” Yu Huang suddenly landed beside Sheng Xiao. She pointed at the high-level demon beasts in the distance and said loudly, “The demon beasts’ attack is organized and premeditated. We have to choose a Beast Tamer who is good at commanding and fighting!”
Without a leader, they were like scattered sand.
Only by acc.u.mulating sand could one unleash their true strength.
Hearing that, a few Beast Tamers said, “Then, please be our leader, Grand Master Sheng!” Sheng Xiao had the highest cultivation level and the strongest combat power among the 500 students. It was everyone’s wish for him to be the leader.
However, Sheng Xiao didn’t agree immediately.
He knew very well that the strongest person might not be the best leader.
Sheng Xiao suddenly turned to the right of the city wall. His gaze landed on Mo Yuelou and Beatrice.
When they saw Sheng Xiao looking at them, Mo Yuelou and Beatrice guessed what he was thinking. Beatrice said, “My brother is better at leading battles than me.”
Sheng Xiao said to Mo Yuelou, “Your Highness, you’ve been fighting bravely on the battlefield and rarely lost. In terms of leadership and command, you’re the best. Please be our combat strategist.”
Mo Yuelou looked at Sheng Xiao with respect and admiration.
Sheng Xiao was born into a n.o.ble family and was admired by everyone. For him to give up his position as the leader to someone like him, who was only a Supreme Master, it could be seen that Sheng Xiao was indeed a magnanimous and strategic person.
His excellence wasn’t only reflected in his cultivation and strength, but also in his conduct.
Mo Yuelou thought for a few seconds and accepted the mission. “It’s my honor to be trusted by Young Master Sheng and everyone. I’ll try my best not to disappoint you all.” With that, Mo Yuelou looked at the beast tide calmly.
Noticing that there were flying and land demon beasts in the beast tide, he said decisively, “All students who are good at flying in the sky, please stand at the outermost edge of the city wall. Students who are good at land combat, please stand in the second row. Students who are good at controlling natural power, please stand in the third row. Finally, all Beast Tamers who are good at supporting, please leave the city wall and retreat to the field. Act according to the situation.”
After a pause, Mo Yuelou raised his voice again and said sincerely, “Auxiliary Beast Tamers are our most reliable backer. Please protect everyone!”
Upon hearing this, some of the support-type Beast Tamers who were originally dissatisfied with Mo Yuelou’s battle arrangements revealed ambitious expressions. It turned out that they weren’t the weakest Beast Tamers. They were the support of all the students. They were their guardians!
Sheng Xiao stood in the crowd and noticed that Mo Yuelou had changed the minds of the a.s.sistant Beast Tamers with just one sentence. He knew that his decision to refuse to be the commander was right.
Perhaps his combat strength and power far exceeded that of Mo Yuelou, but in terms of leadership and control, he was really inferior to Mo Yuelou.
As expected of the War G.o.d of the Divine Moon Empire.

In the administrative building, Mo Xiao and Lin Jiansheng stood in the same office.
The lights in the office weren’t switched on. They stood in the dark room and quietly watched the students’ reactions when facing the beast tide.
The old dean and the others were relieved when they saw Sheng Xiao reject the leadership position and give it to Mo Yuelou. They were even more relieved when they saw that Mo Yuelou easily won them over and all the students were willing to listen to his orders.
They had originally thought that when they faced the beast tide for the first time, these proud geniuses would rush into the battlefield like a pile of loose sand and fight separately.
But they showed a side that surprised them.
“Grand State Master.” The old dean’s eyes were a little teary. He looked at the young people on the city wall with tears in his eyes and said sincerely, “These children are even more outstanding than we think. Perhaps they are all proud, but in terms of right and wrong, they are all good children who can put away their pride and put their collective interests first.”
Lin Jiansheng agreed with the old dean’s opinion very much. He sighed and said, “It’s difficult for one person to carry the burden. Everyone has to work together. I believe that even if this group of children go to the outside world, they can unite and fight against the outside world together.”
Mo Xiao placed his hand on the window frame and a gratified smile slowly appeared on his lips.
This was a group of children that made them proud.
