Chapter 2469  Reckoning with Horrors

While the Kandrian Empire thanked Founding Emperor Ra for building the Kandrian Empire on the coasts of the Panama Continent, furthest away from the Beast Domain, most of human civilization was not as fortunate as the Kandrians were. Many of them didn't have the time to gather intelligence or prepare their troops well in advance.

The simple fact of the matter was that most nations simply weren't in a state to respond to such a crisis abruptly.

For instance, it was rarely the case that most of a nation's Martial Artists were within the border of the nation. In most cases, anywhere between thirty to fifty percent of a nation's Martial Artists were outside of the nation, either on state missions on commission or any other operation.

In the case of the East Panamic Treaty Alliance, it was the war.

Human civilization desperately scrambled to get all its Martial Artists back home before the Beast Incursion reached their borders.

Not all of them succeeded.

The nations that were closer to the Beast Domain were particularly doomed to immense destruction as they desperately defended against the invading monsters as well as they could while they waited for reinforcements.

The Kandrian Empire, on the other hand, had each and every Martial Artist at home due to the war that had ended upon the inception of the Beast Incursion. Furthermore, with the sheer amount of distance between the Kandrian Empire and the Beast Domain, they would have made it in time anyway.

While the Martial Union, Kandrian Army, and the Kandrian Border Patrol Force planned the minutiae of the deployment of their Martial and siege capital, much of human civilization had already been covered by the Beast Tide.

Billions had already died.

These were often from the countless unnamed yet small human settlements and villages that peppered the entirety of the Human Domain. These villages were usually only protected by a few retired Martial Apprentices or, if they were lucky, a Martial Squire. Unlike in the Kandrian Empire, where Martial Apprentices and Squires were highly ubiquitous, they were the limit of a huge chunk of human civilization.

They were unequipped to deal with an endless hoard of monsters.

If nobody warned these disconnected patches spread across all of human civilization, they would get annihilated due to learning of the Beast Incursion too late.

And thus, the Beggar's Sect acted.

For the first time in all of human history, the sect stepped out of the shadows and deployed its astronomically titanic network of external spies as information outlets, spreading information across the entirety of human civilization, warning every single soul about the incoming Beast Incursion while simultaneously also providing with them the knowledge of how and where to go to survive.

It was extraordinarily efficient and effective, unlike anything the world had ever seen before. No power entirely understood how the Beggar's Sect communicated to each and every single one of its members without leaving a single trail and without a massive information communication infrastructure.

Knowledge and information seemed to spread across their network of spies at truly astronomical rates in ways that no human power had understood.

Such was the extraordinary brilliance of the Beggar Sage.

He was to information, knowledge, intelligence, communication, and epistemology what the Divine Doctor was to medicine and biology.

An unparalleled genius.

In the first place, creating an inscrutable, secretive intelligence that was overwhelmingly comprised of the lowest echelons of human civilization, the laborers, wage-seekers, and the beggars, was an impossibly miraculous feat that gave him immense power over all of human civilization.

Regardless, he deployed the communicative capital of his immense organization to warn the most vulnerable strata of humanity of the impending doom and the best ways to get safety.

And thus, he and his organization singlehandedly triggered what went on to be known as the Beggar's Evacuation.

While many of the common folk were unable to make it in time, countless survived by evacuating in time thanks to Beggar's Sect.

This wasn't done out of altruism, of course.

The Beggar's Sect's largest base of power was the common man and woman.

Without them, the Beggar's Sect would not be able to exist in any meaningful way. Thus, the Beggar's Sect was deeply inclined to do its best to protect the weakest and most vulnerable portions of human civilization.

Thus, even while nations desperately prepared for the impending Beast Tide within short timeframes, they were also forced to deal with countless refugees and asylees seeking protection in their nations.

Just a few hours into the Beast Incursion, the very structure of human civilization was beginning to change forever. No more free and open settlements could exist across the entirety of human civilization. Any and all human establishments needed to be guarded by Martial Artists whose numbers and Realms needed to be proportional to the size of the human civilization if it was to survive the Beast Incursion.

There was a barrier of entry for simply being qualified to exist and not be wiped by a tide of beasts.

Even as countless humans died, countless more banded together in hopes of being able to survive the combined wrath of all of the beasts and monsters that threatened to wipe out all of human civilization. The Beast Incursion, even in the first few hours of its tiding waves over all of humanity, began cracking away at the spirit of human civilization. It was difficult to believe that humans were the most powerful force in all human civilizations when witnessing the horror of a united Beast Domain singlemindedly dogging all of human civilization in a self-sacrificial frenzy that inflicted maximal harm on all humans despite their own guaranteed deaths.

These conditions were very different from the conditions under which all of human civilization had managed to establish human supremacy in the first place. Thus, every human power would come to question whether humanity truly was a superior force compared to the entirety of the fauna sphere of the Beast Domain.

RUMBLE!!!

Regardless, hours into the Beast's incursion, all of human civilization began to truly reckon with the horrors of the apocalypse.
