One week ago, Western Continent...
Dark smoke rose from the scorched ground at several places. The land was filled with numerous small and large craters. The soil was wet and crimson, never getting the chance to dry as cultivators, both humans and beasts, continued to fall.
The air was thick with the strong metallic scent of death. Roars and cries echoed across the battlefield, followed by the relentless clash of weapons.
Beasts in both demi-human and transformed forms could be seen engaged in a fierce battle against the invading humans.
The beast army was dominated by fox and deer beasts, with warriors bearing fluffy fox ears or towering antlers. A massive dark stronghold stood behind the battlefield, a giant stone statue of a fox engraved at the center of its walls. This was the Tianhu Stronghold.
Many beasts were actively attacking from the walls, supporting their comrades fighting on the frontlines.
