The Strongest Beast Tamer 47 First Wave

James felt his head spin at the report. They had just got word that the h.o.a.rd was coming yet it's already at their front doors.

"Get every civilian on the boats and protected, get all the soldiers armed up with everything we have, we're going to mow these f.u.c.kers down!" James ordered. On his body was his normal uniform, but aside from that were a few grenades and flashbangs. In his arm was an a.s.sault rifle, loaded and ready for it to mow down his enemies.

He started running outside and towards the wall, where they'll meet their enemies there. As he was running he went past some things that made him glad. There were vehicles with machine guns attached to it, soldiers were already in them ready to fire.

Looking back he saw a lot of civilians running into the boat, getting to safety. But on top of the boat were the canons, all facing towards the wall. On the boat was the old woman that constantly ordered him around, Admiral May, the top of command.

'All of you should get ready to eat' He summoned his sharks. But instead of a light going off his shadow extended across the ground before it split apart. The extra shadows just waited, as if they were floating around.

He felt a bit of rumbling and his expression turned for the worst. Looking towards the wall he saw it burst apart as beasts came charging at them. There were scorpions, snakes, crocodiles, lizards and many other insects.

"Fire!" James ordered as he held out his rifle and started spraying the beasts with bullets. The soldier's followed suit, mowing them down at a visible rate.

Although some of the beasts could survive gun bullets, the bullets that came from the vehicles were too much for them and easily pierced their skin.

'Go!' Those floating shadows shot off towards the line of beasts. The soldiers were confused with what they saw, they thought for a second they were fighting invisible beasts.

"Don't shoot the shadows, they're my beasts!" Fortunately, James made sure to inform everyone before they started spraying.

One of the shadows headed for a large snake. Instead of slivering with its entire body against the ground it looked as though it was standing proudly, slithering towards them.

The soldiers noticed something peeking out of the shadow, it looked like a dorsal fin. It went back in then out until the shadow finally reached the snake.

The snake didn't notice the shadow as it didn't give off any heat at all, it was as if nothing was there. But there was something there, ready to devour its prey.

A large shark leapt out of the shadow, it's mouth wide open as it flew towards the snake's head. Before the snake could react the shark already had its head in its mouth, it chomped down and swallowed the head whole before going back into its shadow.

The snake's body fell down, it was headless and the soldiers were left shocked. They felt some confidence that they might be able to win. Holding their weapons firmly they continued to shoot towards the beasts.

Every now and then sharks would pop up and rip apart the beasts to shreds, even dragging beasts into the shadows with it. None of the soldiers knew what was in the shadows nor did they want to find out

James was grinning confidently as he mowed down the beasts. The only dangerous part of this fight was when they had to reload, but luckily due to the sheer number of soldiers here that wasn't a problem.

*Thump*Thump*Thump*Thump*

A series of heavy footsteps could be heard on the other side of the wall. Even amongst all the shooting and explosion it cold he heard clearly. Whatever it was would be big. Some of the soldiers aimed the machine guns towards the source.

*Bang*

The wall was smashed apart and large beast came charging through the debris, heading straight towards James. It's large body pus.h.i.+ng its allies out of the way, it only had one thing in its eyes and that was James.

Once the body of the beast was finally visible they realised it was a lizard, an extremely large and strong one. Across its body were its scales that looked like armoured plates. As the soldiers shot their bullets it would just bounce right off.

The lizard didn't put those pesky vehicles in its eyes, its mouth was open wide as it came closer to James. While James on the other hand had a ma.s.sive grin across his face.

Once the lizard was a few metres away from James he jumped back slightly.

'Go!' There was one last shadow that stayed connected to James, the largest one amongst the six of them. A giant shark leapt out and grabbed the lizards head between its teeth. It tried to bite down but realised the lizard's scales were too strong.

But there was something else it could it. Due to the sudden force, the lizard's balance was tipped. The shark took advantage of it and dragged it into its shadow. Where it was left floating in the darkness.

James has been in the shadow before, he had been curious about it. There wasn't anything aside from darkness. Similar to when one tames a beast, but instead of taming something the opponent is slowly ripped apart by the sharks as they swam freeing within the abyss.

'Thanks' He made sure to thank the large shark as it did just save him.

'You're welcome' The giant shark replied with a woman's voice. One that sounded elegant and sophisticated.

*Roar*

A loud roar from the background sounded out and all the beasts stopped in their tracks before retreating. The beasts didn't care about any of their allies, trampling on them to get away. The soldiers took advantage of it and mowed down everything.

James already realised it was an order from an intelligent beast, one that had a lot of intelligence. As it was able to lead an army of beasts this size, it was bound to be strong as well. Could probably kick his a.s.s right now.

Fortunately, the intelligent beast retreated which meant its soldiers were running low. Not to mention they haven't used the battles.h.i.+ps yet.

James quickly unsummoned his beasts and ran towards the battles.h.i.+ps, quickly getting into the control room. There he met something unusual, a smiling May.

"Good job, you held them back," Now he realised why May was smiling. She felt proud seeing her second in command do so well in the battlefield.

"Thank you, ma'am," James gratefully accepted the praise.

"We have some more information, using some drones we managed to spot the leaders and a rough estimate of the force we're facing," May informed him but he noticed her expression changed to one for the worse.

"The whole beast force is led by 5 intelligent beasts, each having their own specialty. Now onto their forces, there are roughly 5000 beasts, what you fought was merely the beginning," May poured cold water over James' victory with some bad news.

"Can we win?" James knew that amongst those beasts were one that had the ability to reflect bullet. The lizard he fought being one of them.

"We can only try, we can't lose the city to the beasts otherwise we'll be cut off from NSW by sea," May angrily said as she smacked her hand against the table.

"We can save people by land as well," James tried to cheer her up but that was met with another angry glare.

"Those people will probably be dead, not only that, do you think those intelligent beasts will just let us save them," May said. James could only agree as they don't fully understand the intelligent beasts yet, they could only a.s.sume they want the land and they want to dominate that land with an iron fist.

"Ma'am the beasts are coming back, but with their full force this time!" A soldier nearby on a computer reported to them.

May and James both frowned, they thought they would be able to take a small break.

"Get the soldiers to reload and restock on ammunition and explosive, this will be the real deal and we need all hands on deck!" May ordered and they were quickly getting done.

"Where is that group James?" May asked with a cold voice that sent a chill up James' spine.

"They should be arriving soon," James responded quickly.

"Good, make sure you inform them of everything once they get here," May said as she went back to organising troops.

James nodded and went back out, he needed to both prepare for the next battle and inform the group. He just had to hope they get here before the battle starts.
