“Didn’t you hear what Claire and Mr. Soto said earlier? This is what Claire called a moat, right, Claire?”

Claire nodded.

“This trench works like a moat. We don’t need to fill it with water. We just have to dig it deeper and wider. It would be best if we could cut off the entire entrance to the valley. When the beast swarm comes, they will fall in and won’t be able to get out. It’s just that…”

Davy frowned and pressed, “Just what? I think this is a great idea. I never would have thought of it.”

Zane spoke up.

“What Claire means is that half a day isn’t enough time to dig it very deep. If too many beasts rush in, the trench will quickly be filled, and it won’t be able to block them anymore.”

“Zane is right. But it’s still better than nothing,” Claire added.

The male beastfolk had sharp claws, and there were plenty of them. In half a day, they could dig a trench about 30 feet wide and deep. That alone was impressive.

Landon, with his injured arm, organized the digging. Kieran had already gone with Aurora to arrange for the females and younglings to hide in the caves along both sides of the valley.

There were not many caves, just enough to squeeze them all in.

As for the other male beastfolk, they were stationed around the valley as lookouts.

When the beast swarm arrived, the main force would come from the front. But some savage beasts might appear elsewhere, so guards had to be placed at intervals.

These were all members of the guard team. They were strong, and if only a few beasts appeared, they could deal with them.

Quentin was in charge of that part.

Landon glanced at Claire, who stood stubbornly at the entrance of the clan under the harsh sun. His heart ached for her, and he stepped forward to persuade her.

“Claire, all the females and younglings are already in the caves. You should go too. I’ll stay here. Even if I can’t fly with this injury, I can still give orders.”

Davy and Marcus also tried to convince her.

“Yeah, Claire. Hurry and hide.”

“We’re males. We’ll protect this place.”

Claire shook her head.

“I don’t feel right about it.”

She remembered when the fox clan was attacked by Jeffrey and those rogue beastfolk. Back then, she had hidden in the shelter caves with the other females.

At that time, she had no strength to fight. But now, she was a Level 2 female. She might not match a Level 2 male in combat, but she could protect herself.

She might look heavily pregnant, but after taking so many strength pills, it didn’t affect her at all.

The only downside was that it didn’t look very graceful when she moved, enough to make the other beastfolk startled.

The white wolf beneath her paced along the edge of the trench, checking where the digging needed to be faster.

Zane’s eyes were fixed on the direction where the beast swarm might appear.

His voice was calm but firm. “I will protect Claire. I won’t join the fight this time. Marcus and Davy, you two can head toward the swarm first and see if you can break it apart.”

Claire’s expression remained calm. It wasn’t a bad idea, but she still worried about Marcus and Davy. She firmly urged Zane to go with them.

Seeing that he could not persuade her, Landon followed as well, full of concern.

They moved more than six miles toward the direction of the swarm. At last, they saw it in the distance. The sky was darkened by a mass of flying beasts, like a rolling black cloud.

Below them, countless savage beasts charged forward. Their eyes were red, their hooves pounding without rest, kicking up waves of dust that blotted out the horizon.

The white wolf climbed to a high cliff and looked down at the swarm below.

“There are too many. And they are moving too fast. At this speed, they will reach the trench very soon.”

Zane’s voice was steady, but worry still slipped through.
