53 Xu Yuan! It’s time to get up!

Outside the territory, dust flew as the earth shook. It was as though the end of the world was near.

This wasn’t the first time Su Wan had experienced the beast tide. “The situation is terrible!” Su Wan panicked.

The beast tide was like a wave and her territory only looked like a small boat adrift in the ocean. It could be overturned by the tidal waves any time now.

There were no city Walls in the Northwest. It was a crucial place that needed defending.

“Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Soldiers! Focus on the defense!” Su Wan commanded.

Her decision was logical. The Northwest was the place from where the beasts entered. It was also the part of the territory which had no city walls.

“Golden Behemoths! Guard the cave entrance! This is our last hope. We will not let the tide reach here!”

Su Wan was secretly relieved that her territory was a cave, so the beast tide didn’t have a devastating impact.

Most beasts would just loiter around the perimeter of the cave and wouldn’t bother to enter. However, her territory had also expanded. The perimeter of the cave was still her territory.

Su Wan did her best to guard the territory outside the cave. If they couldn’t hold them back the cave would be their last hope.

Therefore, Su Wan instructed the Golden behemoth, who was the strongest, to guard the entrance of the cave.

After that, Su Wan looked for Xu Yuan. She wanted to ask him to use his auxiliary ability.

“Where is Xu Yuan?” Su Wan asked the Golden Behemoth.

The Golden behemoth was reluctant to answer her. Seeing this, Su Wan felt her anger rise. She was the Overlord, but the Golden Behemoth was unwilling to listen to her.

“Who is your Lord?” shouted Su Wan.

The Golden Behemoth finally told her where Xu Yuan was. “Lord Luphus is resting in the palace,” said the Golden Behemoth.

‘Resting in the palace?’ Su Wan was puzzled.

Su Wan looked at the direction where the Golden Behemoth pointed.

‘Isn’t that the Dark Castle?’

“He is sleeping at such a critical time?” In the past, Su Wan didn’t care what he did. But this was important. This was the largest beast tide she had encountered in Overlord Plane. Moreover, the beast tide outbreak meant that the Boss, Dark Dragon King, was nearby!

The beast tide and Dark Dragon King were both terrifying and could destroy her territory.

“I have to wake that lazy bum,” said Su Wan and hurried to the Dark Castle.

She observed the Dark Castle inside the cave. It was majestic. The dark and narrow cave had even widened to make space for it. A grand Dark Palace stood in front of her. It looked very elegant and imposing.

It was also at this time that Su Wan felt that her territory looked like a real territory. ‘I have only been a Lord for less than a month. The other new Lords must be struggling with resources. And I already have a castle.’

When Su Wan thought about it, her face turned solemn. The Dar Castle was very majestic, but it had taken all of her resources to build something like that.

It was because of Xu Yuan. He had used all the resources to build the Dark Castle and now she didn’t have any resources to create more troops.

The more she looked at the castle, the more she felt dejected. Her heart sank. She didn’t want to look at it anymore. She hurriedly entered the castle to find Xu Yuan.

The Dark Goblins, Hellhounds, Golden behemoths, Skeleton Knights, and other troops were guarding the main hall. Although there weren’t many types of troops guarding it, they still looked very intimidating.

Those who didn’t know her would think Xu Yuan was the Lord. She felt dissatisfied with the thought. Xu Yuan was sleeping soundly on a soft blanket.

Su Wan was terrified of the beast tide and exhausted from setting up defenses. As her hero, Xu Yuan should have shared some of her burden. But he was sleeping soundly without a care in the world. Su Wan felt sad and angry.

“Xu Yuan! It’s time to get up!” She tried to wake him up.

Xu Yuan did not respond but he spread his wings and covered himself.

She stomped her feet in anger, but Xu Yuan ignored her and continued sleeping. Su Wan felt so bitter that she vented out her grievances in the group chat with her friends.

[Su Wan: I am so angry! The beast tide is coming but my hero only wants to sleep. He won’t get up at all.]

Su Wan sent a picture of sleeping Xu Yuan in the group chat.

[Shi Linglong: Eh? Wanwan, where’s your hero? Don’t tell me that black thing in the photo is your hero.]

Shi Linglong had seen Xu Yuan many times. Su Wan was puzzled by her question. ‘Doesn’t she recognize him?’

In the pictures, Shi Linglong only saw a black blob.

[Su Wan: That b*stard! He despises me for disturbing his sleep, so he wrapped himself up in his wings to isolate himself from the world!]

Shi Linglong sent out a long string of exclamation marks.

[Lin Yao: Wanwan, your hero has a very strong personality.]

Lin Yao didn’t know what to say to make Su Wan feel better. So, she just sent a few words praising him.

After Zhao Qingrong finished posting the cool photos of her hero, she also sent a message.

[Zhao Qingrong: Wanwan, if you had a handsome hero like mine at this time, you wouldn’t be so frustrated. Even when he is sleeping, he looks so handsome. His face can calm people. They can’t get angry even if they want to.]

Everyone chimed in to discuss the situation with Su Wan. They felt sorry for her. They were glad that she had started to build the city walls. But that progress was on halt because her hero had used up all her resources to build a useless castle!

Everyone knew Su Wan well. She was not the kind of person to complain about petty stuff. They realized that she must really be having a very difficult time. If Su Wan was finally complaining, it meant that this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.

[Shi Linglong: Wanwan, don’t give up yet. I’ll send troops to support you!]

Shi Linglong was very loyal. She wanted to repay Su Wan’s kindness for helping her during her difficult times. She sent some troops to help Su Wan.

Su Wan wanted to refuse. At least she had a cave where she could hide if things got out of hand. But Shi Linglong’s territory was a forest. She had limited places to hide undetected. Shi Linglong should focus on surviving instead of helping Su Wan.

Su Wan was just about to refuse when she saw that her territory had been shrouded entirely in a familiar black fog.
