System Level 2 cities were far more advanced than Level 3 Guild Headquarters, equivalent to Level 4 or even Level 5 Guild Headquarters. This Monster Siege would target Level 3 County Cities and higher-level cities, so naturally Level 2 cities like Haoyue City were also among the targets.
As Breaking Waves Riding Wind and the others had said, guilds without Level 3 Guild Headquarters were all relatively small guilds or unaffiliated players. Although there were many such players, their overall strength was not particularly great—perhaps not even comparable to the combined strength of the top ten guilds. Moreover, they lacked unified command.
System Level 2 cities were much larger in scale than Level 3 Guild Headquarters cities. In other words, they would face a far greater number of monsters during the Monster Siege, vastly more than Guild Headquarters like Wushuang City. It would undoubtedly be difficult for those guilds and unaffiliated players alone to defend them, so the top ten guilds, including Misty Pavilion, had to send part of their forces to defend them. Otherwise, the fall of Level 2 cities would be an immense loss for the country.
Sending troops to defend Level 2 cities like Haoyue City meant that Misty Pavilion could not mobilize all its players to guard Wushuang City. Whether they could withstand the Monster Siege was hard to say, and June Flying Snow and the others began to worry.

It would become harder for them to level up in
