Ella doesn't need William's reminders and immediately uses her War Cry.
“Meeeeeeeeeeee!”
A powerful aura was expelled from his body. The other gloats bleated in recognition as they felt their bodies become stronger.
A powerful goat army cleared the entire map in a day. Goats go up one level. William got two, and Ella got seven. It was a good start, but William decided to stop their "Underground Assault" for a while.
He wanted the goats to feel what it was like to work as a team. William planned to take it step by step and let the goats get used to their new formation. Also, he felt a little sad because his main stats could no longer advance.

According to the system, its statistical gauge needs to rise to the next level to "reset" allowing it to continue leveling up.
This was similar to the other Job Classes he had obtained where he had to choose a way to advance them to stronger and stronger classes.
To solve this problem, William needed to visit the temple and pray to his God of Protectors. Then and only then did the experience bar for his stat points reset.
Unfortunately, the temples are at least four days away from Lont if you are traveling by train. Right now, the Beast Tides were rampaging across the country. It was impossible for William to go to the temple. Even if he could, James wouldn't allow it.
His only silver lining was that the Shepherd Job Class could still level up as it had yet to reach its level limit.
William looked at his current stats and sighed. He secretly thanked the Beast Tide for giving him the opportunity to advance by leaps and bounds. Based on his calculations, it would take] at least two to three years to reach his current level.
Fortunately, the Millennial Beast and its minions give William the best chance of earning massive experience points in a controlled environment.

The goats fell asleep as soon as they returned to the goat pen. Although only an hour had passed in the real world, they had stayed inside the dungeon for an entire day. They were all extremely exhausted and William did not want to force them to the limit of his ability.
“Let's sleep too, Mama Ella.”
“Meeeeh.”
Ella returned to "normal mode" and lay in a haystack in the corner of the goat pen. William followed her and hugged her Mama Ella to sleep.
That night, William dreams of leading a herd of Angorian War Ibex to battle against a wave of wolves. All the wolves were trampled under their feet and even the Centennial and Millennial Beasts did not survive the battle.
"Hehe." William chuckles in his sleep. “So many experience points ..”

While William and the other children in Lont were sleeping, the adults took turns guarding the night.
"Jekyll, time's up" Marcus said with a smile. “Sleep your beauty. I'll take over the watch. ”
“It's time,” Jekyll replied while stretching his body.
“Shawn, make sure to bring us freshly baked bread tomorrow. I'm counting on you." Mr. Bond patted Shawn on the shoulder.
"I don't mind as long as you pay for it." Shawn yawns. “Be sure not to fall asleep while on duty.”
“That goes without saying.” Mr. Bond patted his chest. “If one monster comes, I will kill one. If a dozen comes, I'll kill a dozen. Relax, those creatures won't get past me.”
The night passed peacefully as Lont's defenders stood guard. Only when the first sunrise light fell onto the small town did they hear the screams of the Eagle coming from the East.
"Finally," James murmured as he looked at the Eagle descending from the sky.
Everyone was waiting for John's arrival, so they rushed towards the Ainsworth Residence to meet him. They were all eager to hear his report and understand the current situation.

Inside the conference room, James was busy placing gemstones on the map that almost filled half of the round table. The colored gems signified the current condition of the various villages, small towns, and small towns on the West Side of Hellan Kingdom.
James, and the others waited patiently until he finished his task. Even so, some of them were already frowning. At a glance they could tell that almost the entire Western Region was now destroyed.
"Oh my God" murmured Owen. "Such destruction ..."
John sighed deeply as he placed the last gemstone on the map.
"As you can see, the Western Region is as good as gone" John reports. “The Beast Tide from the Forbidden Land came five years earlier than expected. Lont faced the Wolf Wave. Fushia City experiences Bear Tide, Pran is besieged by Harpies, Xynnar by Hyenas.”.
John listed all the cities he had seen along the way. According to him, almost no one survived the region.
“Blitz and I dug deeper into the Kingdom and found traces of the Beast Tides. It looks like they will all gather to attack Fort Windermere.”
"As expected," muttered James as he stared at the map on the table.
Fort Windermere is a fortress built to withstand the invasion of Beast Tide. Normally, Beast Tides occurred every fifteen to twenty years. It seemed that something big had happened in the Forbidden Land which caused the Beast Tide to arrive early.
In the past, the Hellan Kingdom had gathered a large army to clear the Forbidden Land known as the "Water of Strathmore". Unfortunately, they could not even enter the outskirts of the forest due to the strong restrictions.
When the royal genius scholars analyzed these restrictions, they were shocked to learn that only those twenty years old and under could enter the forest.
Therefore, all plans to conquer the Strathmore Forest have been postponed. Since they were unable to attack the source of the problem, they decided to build a Fortress that would protect the kingdom from these raging beasts.
