After the Federation took over this area, it has been trying to figure out the cause of the beast tide in the Elsa Forest. However, after studying it for many years, it has never figured out what is going on. The only thing that is certain is that the beast tide will only occur every year.

Appears at a specific time.

Therefore, some researchers believe that the reason why the beast tide appears is because a special plant grows in the Aisha Forest. This plant will only mature at a specific time every year. The mature plant will emit a strong stimulating effect.

The pollen affected various animals living in the Elsa Forest, causing both carnivores and herbivores to fall into a state of madness, thus triggering an animal tide.

Although this statement is now the mainstream statement, many people think that this can explain the tide of beasts in Aisha Forest, but some people have raised questions, because if pollen is effective on any living creature, why is it not affected at all by humans?

Go crazy and become an irrational and aggressive beast.

Therefore, there has never been a conclusion about how the beast tide in the Aisha Forest was triggered. Since the cause of the beast tide cannot be known, there is naturally no solution, so the federal government came up with a compromise.

, that is, before each beast tide appears, a half-month hunting season is held in the Aisha Forest. All participants in the hunting season can take away any prey they catch for free without paying additional taxes.

The effect of this event is very good. From the first time it was held to the present, there has not been any outbreak of beasts in the Elsa Forest. The Randy Railway that runs through the Elsa Forest has also been able to remain intact under such circumstances.

It will not be damaged by the tide of beasts.

However, this year's situation is a bit special. Due to various reasons, such as the political turmoil in Josh County, everyone's attention focused on foreign wars, etc., the hunting season in the Elsa Forest was not able to start. In other words, in Elsa

The various types of animals currently in the forest are enough to break out an animal tide.

Because a huge part of the local reserves and defense forces have been transferred away, and there are only some local police forces, government officials in the villages and towns surrounding the Aisha Forest have notified villagers and townspeople early on to temporarily hide in the homes of relatives in other places for a period of time, and wait.

Come back after the beast tide period has passed. If you don't have relatives from outside the area, you can live in a small castle built in the past to defend against the beast tide in a nearby town.

Although there are still several days before the beast tide breaks out, after the train entered the forest, all the defense devices on the train were turned on. For example, the windows of all carriages had steel plates lowered, and the center of each carriage was lowered.

Five degrees higher, two more locks were added between the carriages, and reinforcement devices were added. The security personnel on the train entered each entrance of the train to observe the conditions of the forest on both sides of the train. The locomotive even made an ax blade shape.

The firing pin was released so that when a similar tree fell on the railway track, the train could be cut off and driven away by the momentum of the train and the sharp ax blade of the front of the train without having to stop and send people to remove the tree.

While the security personnel on the train were preparing, the security personnel in the rear carriage were also vigilantly staring at the dense forests on both sides of the railway.

Just as Leo and Sylvia analyzed, in the secret service department's information about the Landi Railway, the Aisha Forest was also regarded as an easy place to set up an ambush by the senior officials of the secret service department, so it had already been formulated in the secret service department.

Several sets of related protection procedures and methods have been developed.

I saw that at the moment the train entered the forest, all the special service security personnel put on a pair of glasses that looked like windshields. They looked around through the iron railings on the outside of the car window. Leo could feel it from those glasses.

There are some energy fluctuations. It seems that these glasses should be some kind of extraordinary items that have been mastered by the Ott Federation and can be mass-produced, allowing the wearers to gain some visual abilities.

"It seems that the Otter Federation's research on supernatural power is not as shallow as we thought." Sylvia naturally saw these glasses. Although she didn't know what the functions of these glasses were, she could also learn from them.

The aura of power emanating from them made me guess the details of these glasses.

Leo didn't speak, just nodded. After a while, he suddenly said to Sylvia: "You won the bet."

Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Have you discovered the ambusher?"

"One hundred and thirty-seven." Leo answered simply, then remained silent for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, and added: "They are all beast-turned-humans."

"A lycanthrope?" Sylvia sat up from the sofa, with an interested look on her face.

Lycanthropes are a unique race in this world. Leo also read records about this race in books. He initially thought that lycanthropes, like the Familia or mutants, distorted themselves due to some kind of power and finally mutated into something extraordinary.

Humans, but after reading relevant records later, we learned that lycanthropes are a race that coexists with humans.

Before the bloodline is stimulated, there is no difference between lycanthropes and humans. Even the magic of the gods cannot discover in advance those people who are lycanthropes and those who are not. Only after the bloodline is stimulated, will the blood produce something in their bodies.

produce power that can be observed.

Usually, the beasts transformed by lycanthropes are some kind of land beasts, but some lycanthropes will have mutations similar to birds and sea monsters. For example, there once was a great pirate who traveled across the New and Old Worlds and was a kind of sea monster.

The monster transforms into a human being. After he fully exerts his power, he will completely throw away his human form and transform into an extremely huge sea monster covered with countless tentacles, each of which is covered with sharp teeth.

Because of the terror of lycanthropes, in a world informed by humans, lycanthropes are usually the targets of being hunted and suppressed.

But even such powerful lycanthropes can still survive all kinds of suppression and hunting, and even built several countries with lycanthropes as the main body in the Old Continent. Almost all lycanthropes in the New Continent come from

Those lycanthrope countries, but most of them were deceived, a scam called the Utopia.

Although the situation of lycanthropes in the New World is pretty good, unlike those in the old continent where human beings would be burned to death if they saw lycanthropes, they are still discriminated against, especially in the church, no matter which god they are.

The church will call the lycanthropy of lycanthropes original sin, believing that they have carried the sins of their ancestors from birth and need to atone for their sins. Therefore, almost all churches in the New World will establish an atonement group composed of lycanthropes. This is also a distinction.

A clear standard for churches in the Old and New Worlds.

However, what makes people feel strange is that the Ot Federation bans all churches, and also advocates the equal status of lycanthropes and humans at the legal level, greatly reducing domestic discrimination against lycanthropes, but those lycanthropes do not show any concern at all.

Thank you, no lycanthrope is willing to settle in the Otter Federation. They are willing to believe what the churches say. They are guilty and they need atonement.

Under Leo's scanning, he could easily find that there were more than a hundred lycanthropes in the surrounding forest who had transformed into their lycanthropic forms. They were hiding in the forest and following the moving train as fast as they could.

, seems to be waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

The fact that the church state would send lycanthropes to the Otter Federation in batches did not exceed Leo's expectations, but it did surprise him to send almost two lycanthropes from the Atonement Group to assassinate him.

, it seems that those church countries have regarded him as a thorn in their flesh, so they did not hesitate to send out so many people.

Generally, there are only about 60 or 70 people in the Beastman Atonement Group of the church, and these 670 people are all warriors who have fully inspired their bloodlines and gained powerful beastly power. In the early wars in the New World, these Beastman Atonement Groups were among the most powerful.

It plays a very important role on the battlefield. Usually when the war is stalemate, these fanatical Atonement Groups will often assassinate enemy generals at any cost, eventually leaving the local army leaderless and turning the tide of the war.

However, with the emergence of powerful shotguns, the role of the lycanthrope atonement group has gradually weakened, because no matter how powerful the lycanthropes are, they are still flesh and blood, and a powerful shotgun is enough to destroy their lives.

Posing a threat, a team of shotgun soldiers can often paralyze most of the beast-turned-Atonement Group's combat power after one round of scattering. Therefore, the beast-turned-Atonement Group is rarely seen on the battlefield afterwards, and the Atonement Group within the church is also

Just follow the routine and no longer focus on cultivating the beast-turned-atonement group.

But this does not mean that the strength of the Beast-forming Atonement Group has become weaker. If the conditions for joining the Beast-forming Atonement Group are still the same as in the past, then even if the Church’s Beast-forming Atonement Group is no longer a key training target, the combat effectiveness of this Atonement Group will still be

Not weak.

The train soon entered the middle of the Elsa Forest. At this time, a series of shrill roars of beasts suddenly came from the forest. The attention of everyone on the train was involuntarily attracted to it. At this time, among the trees on the other side of the train

Several thin figures emerged in an instant, quickly stuck something on each carriage of the train, and then hid back in the bushes without anyone noticing.

No one in the train noticed this, but Leo and Sylvia, who noticed that the lycanthrope had taken action, had no intention of telling anyone else about it. They were just waiting like two bystanders.

A good show is on.

After a while, the train emerged from the forest and entered a dense grassland with a depth of two to three meters. This does not mean that they have driven out of the Elsa Forest, but that this small grassland belongs to the Elsa Forest.

In part, no one has studied why there are no trees growing here but only long grass.

However, when entering the grassland, the special service security guards all shouted the secret code loudly, as if they had discovered something in these dense grasslands, and their loud shouts also spread to other carriages, and the train company defense in other carriages

Although the personnel did not understand the meaning of shouting the code, they could still hear the nervousness in the shouts, so they all clenched the weapons in their hands and stared blankly at the weeds on both sides that were quickly moving past their eyes.

Before the people on the train could calm down, they saw the grass in the distance shaking rapidly. Before long, various beasts emerged from the grass and crashed into the train like crazy.

In the past, some ferocious beasts jumped directly onto the moving train and bit the outer protective railings with their teeth, trying to break the railings.

However, these railings are made of steel bars, and the bite force and tooth strength of these beasts can only leave marks on them, but cannot cause any damage to the railings.

On the contrary, the people inside the railings came to their senses after the initial fright, raised their weapons one after another, and attacked the beasts outside the railings.

However, those beasts seemed to have forgotten the pain. No matter what kind of attacks, they could not let go. Even if their heads were cut off, they still clung to the railings.

Perhaps because of the protection of the railings, they could attack wild beasts in a safe place, which made some people relax their vigilance. When they were not paying attention, the beasts that were biting the railings and being attacked and dying suddenly let go of the railings.

, squeezed the most into the gap between the railings, and bit the bodies or other vital parts of those who came too close. For a while, various screams could be heard one after another in the carriage.

At the same time, in the carriage at the end of the train, whether it was the secret service security or the special forces of the Ministry of Education, their performance far exceeded that of the train company's own defense personnel. Those crazy beasts did not even have a chance to get close to the carriage.

If not, they will be sieved by those powerful shotguns.

However, even so, their situation was not particularly good, because the ammunition in their hands was being consumed at an alarming rate. The captain in charge of security work quickly realized this problem and immediately ordered to stop the design and use

Combining close-quarters weapons such as spears to deal with the charging beasts, and dispatching two more teams of people to the roof of the car. After all, there are things blocking the car. Just be careful not to be directly attacked, and the people on the roof need to face it directly.

Those beasts.

Although the people in the carriage have tried their best to deal with the beasts trying to climb on the roof, the train windows are not made for fighting after all. There will always be some blind spots that cannot be attacked by the people in the carriage. Some

The beast climbed onto the roof of the car from those blind spots and began to attack the people on the roof.

If there are only a few beasts attacking, the people placed on the roof can barely cope with it, but the problem is that there are no manpower arranged on the roofs of other cars to defend, which makes the beasts on other roofs also rush towards the rear few.

car roof.

Without the ability to use shotguns, the special security forces and the special forces of the Department of Education placed on the roof of the car were unable to stop the attacks of so many crazed beasts, and soon there were casualties among them.

The captain in the carriage noticed that the situation was not good and immediately ordered the people on the roof to give up their guard and return to the carriage. Because this order was given hastily, some people were not covered when they returned to the carriage and were bitten and dragged by wild animals.

After getting off the train, he died soon after being bitten by wild beasts.

Just when everyone on the roof of the car was evacuated, a dozen short lycanthropes climbed onto the roof of the car under the cover of the crazy beasts, but the people in the car didn't know anything about it.
