Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 441: Beast Waves and Riots.

Having declared that she is missing her family a bit, Shen Jueyang didn’t know what to do. After all, he would never understand her. When he gained enough strength he strived for authority, when gain enough authority he looked for fame. Everything he did in his life, he is always alone. No one truly understood what he wanted. At that time, all he wanted was to stand above everything and protect their little cosmos. However, in the end he still died and even in the hands of his only friend and the woman whom he thought was on his side.

That’s why he never understood what family is. As in the first place, he never had one and never made one. That’s why he is the most guilty towards his former empress. He owes her a life and is guilty for her ending in such a way.

Maybe fate was playing on him, by the time he learns what emotions are, what love is and how to love? The person he fell in love with no longer has the heart to love him back. She will never understand his emotions and affections. She reacted no differently from how he did towards his former empress. He was even lucky enough that she was willing to let him stay by her side. Even before never allowed a woman to stand by his side as an equal.

Shen Jueyang asked, {Do you wish to find them? We can leave this city and try finding them in the next one.}

"Not now. Maybe... after the beast riot had passed and no one had come to see me here," said Yue Xuexia.

Shen Jueyang said, {Alright. I will accompany you anywhere you go.}

While those in the Heavenly Manor never cared about the beast riot or anything outsiders their place, the world beyond their gates us about to fall into chaos. The first wave of beasts had finally arrived. It just happened in an instant and before everyone was fully ready. A large group of beasts with cultivation ranging from Qi Refinement to Foundation realm had come in groups moving towards the Heavenly City like waves.

The guards at the gate had multiplied after the last attack even so compared to the sheer numbers of this beast wave they are still helpless. The beasts were like madmen running towards the gates.

"Oh my god!"

"It’s a beast wave!’

"Flare! Use the flare!"

"Activate the formation!"

Seeing this, guards had immediately used the flare and activated the defensive formation of the whole city. Even the warning bells rang even more loudly than the last time it was used. Those who were near the city gate were urged to evacuate to the inner region. The patrol guided the weak ones towards the center area while more knights, warriors and mercenaries had gathered towards the gates.

The flare of yellow color shows not only that the beast wave is coming but also the realm of the beasts that was attacking. Qi Refinement realm beasts can still be fought by those who are not cultivators. Of course, outer disciples from the heavenly sects and clans had also come over as well. Since the possibility of Peak foundation realm beasts would be attacking. Their task is to focus on those and let the others kill those at Qi Refinement realm.

Among them, the knight captain took the lead on the ground while an inner disciple from Heavenly Sword Sect led the cultivators using their sword or flying artifacts to fly. One in command on the land and the other commands in the sky.

The Knight commander said, "Split into groups and follow the battle formation phase one. We are going to push them out of the gates first. Everyone on my mark. Raise your shield, raise your weapons and run forward! Push them out!!"

The unity of everyone on the ground was witnessed at this moment. With the human race working together, despite the broken gates, they all pushed out the beasts outside the city. Seeing that they did it, their commander once again issued another command.

"We did it! Now kill them all! Don’t let them in the city again!!!"

The loud war cry coming from the ground made those cultivators on the ground even more serious. With those who are weaker than they are, doing their tasks even better than they are, their competitiveness wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.

The only inner sect disciple orders, "We can’t let those guys on the ground beat us into it."

"Find the Foundation realm beasts. Report, split into groups and fight it as a team."

"Don’t be foolish thinking that you can defeat one alone."

"It wasn’t only us humans who knew how to fight in groups!"

"Watch for ambush!"

The elders had trained them well. As for whether they will be able to fulfill it will depend on what is going to happen next. They fly in the sky, finding beasts of Foundation realm within the crowd of beasts. It was hard as those guys tended to blend within the crowd of beasts. But it is also easy to spot them at the same time. You only need to find a beast that looks like a leader. Finally, after flying around they finally saw two leaders like beasts.

"Shixiong! There are two! We found two which are acting weird!"

"Good work! Ten of you, split into two groups. The others follow me and look for others!"

"Yes!"

Their size is similar to other beasts but unlike those who can only run forwards like mad beasts, they have their own sets of actions. They would sometimes stop their movements and observe the area, or would howl to end a command. They saw two among the beasts who acted this way. The reaction of the human race towards the first wave of the beast riot was calm and collected. At least this wave, the humans were about to push back the beasts. These first waves lasted for days and as if expecting this, a sudden shift was made within the humans.

It seems they already see that the first wave of the beast would be longer than they expected and thus, split this group into two. Once the first group is tired out, the second group will take over allowing them to rest. Unless one group was eliminated, this shifting formation will allow the human race not to be over fatigue during the long term war against the beasts.

Meanwhile, at Yue Xuexia’s Heavenly Manor at the core region of the Heavenly City, she lives her daily life as usual. This time she is planting sweet potatoes and potatoes in her garden. A lot of them, moreover under the formation which speed up its growth. There are two toddlers covered in mud and soil planting seeds with her.

The sentient snow lotus, Yue Huaxue, asked, "Mommy, why are we planting these things? Though it tastes delicious, there isn’t much energy in it to digest. It’s not useful for us."

"Xuexue, I do not think that this thing is for us. Mom, are you preparing for a long term battle against the beast and supporting them with food? Can’t we just help them fight?" The sentient blue lotus asked.

Yue Xuexia said, "You want to tire yourself to death? You two can only come join the fight if numerous beasts at the nascent soul realm appear. Not just one or two. At least more than ten or more. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Mom!" The two sentient flower lotus said.

Yue Xuexia sighs in relief and says, "Your hands have stopped moving. I guess tonight cheesecake is gone~"

"No, Mom!!" The two toddlers stopped slacking off and continued planting sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.

The first beast wave lasted for a week...

"Victory! We have completely blocked this wave!"

"Congratulations to all! We did it!"

"It’s time to celebrate!"

Even though it took so long, the death count on the human side is the least compared to when the scouts caught the knights at the gate off guard. The first wave can be considered a victory to the human race. However, they shouldn’t have lowered their guards too fast. Just as they were celebrating their first victory defense, an even larger wave of beasts seems to be coming for them. This time the number of the busy was twice the first wave and this time, there are some Innateness Realm beasts mixed.

Partying over the bonfire, a sound of bird cawing can be heard from the sky. At first the humans thought that it was just a crow excited for the dead bodies of the slain beasts. Before she can even make an excuse,

CAWS~ CAW!!

These Innateness Realm Beasts were mostly bird type beasts and they can be considered lords of the sky. At least towards the outer disciples who could never defend against this kind of beasts. Most of them were caught off guard while in the sky and fell amidst the wave of the beasts. They were instantly eaten on the spot and not even bones were left behind.

"Ah! A group of Innateness Realm Bird Beasts!"

Upon hearing this scream, some immediately ran away, others looked up only to get their heads bit off and others who were so frightened that their body’s froze on the spot. This is a natural reaction. However, this reaction was enough for these bird beasts to rip off your head that is connected to your necks.
