Sun Busong then went all out to craft items, and the people around him were also diligently learning.

Time was running out, and Sun Busong was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.

Meanwhile, outside the town, it was a world of difference from the daytime. Darkness reigned, and a chilling wind swept through. Not a sliver of moonlight or stars could be seen in the sky. Although the outside of the town could be described as pitch black, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of their face, it was precisely in this darkness that pairs of eerie ghost fires could be seen!

The Undead had arrived. They had surrounded the entire town. These Undead ranged from level 25 to 35, and their Weapons were varied. Furthermore, nearly twenty percent of the Undead Soldiers were Magic-based. These creatures were all skeletons, as if corpses buried for decades had been dug up.

Behind these Skeleton Soldiers, one could vaguely see higher-level Scourge Soldiers, including Zombies and Abominations!

"Don't be afraid! Everyone, stay calm. As long as we hold our defenses, they definitely won't be able to get in!"

"That's right! We can't be scared. If we get scared, their attacks will become even more powerful. I heard my grandpa say that the Undead grow stronger by absorbing our fear!"

"With us here, you don't need to worry. Our leader has already sent support supplies. Have faith, we will definitely drive these bone racks away!"

Sun Busong was rummaging through his backpack, looking for anything he could use.

Dragon's Breath Red Pepper: Requires Level 25

Use: For 10 minutes, when hitting an enemy, there is a chance to spew flames at them, dealing 30 Fire Element magic damage.

He actually found another one, and it was related to Cooking!

"Quick, call the Mayor over and have him ask if anyone has a Fire Sac!"

Sun Busong was incredibly excited. The materials for Dragon's Breath Red Pepper were easy to find; any Fire Element monster had a chance to drop it. Another advantage was that anyone level 25 or above could use it.

He excitedly paced back and forth, rubbing his hands together, muttering, "We're saved! We're saved!"

"Hey, which of you knows the Cooking profession?" he suddenly stopped, looking at the six people.

"Sir, Cooking is a secondary profession. All of us know a little bit. We usually just practice a few dishes we're good at," a Leatherworking craftsman replied with a fawning smile.

"That's good. Alright, put down what you're doing for now. I have a recipe here, learn it quickly! Once you've learned it, start crafting."

Sun Busong opened the blueprint for Dragon's Breath Red Pepper and diligently taught it to them. The items and blueprints he had brought out today would have been worth over a million gold coins in the Auction House!

Soon, the Mayor came running in like a madman.

"Sir, sir, they've started attacking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Busong felt the ground tremble beneath his feet, followed by distant noises of chaos and shouts of battle.

"They're here, they're here! They're here!"

"Ah! Skeletons! Moving skeletons! Mommy! I'm scared."

"Steady, everyone, steady! Hold the defensive positions here, don't charge out!"

"Hold your shields steady, that's right! Magic users, don't be too impulsive. These are just the lowest-tier skeletons. Don't use overly powerful magic, or you'll run out of mana later. Use Magic Missiles! Use Magic Missiles with the least amount of mana consumption!"

That was Usop's voice!

As expected of his right-hand man, with this kind of combat awareness, he would surely become a great commander in the future!

Sun Busong nodded slightly upon hearing Usop's voice.

Then, he turned back to the Mayor, whose face was etched with worry, "Mayor, I've taught them everything I know. Now I need to go join the battle. I'll leave things here to you."

"How can you do this! No, don't go, stay here! We need you here!" The Mayor tried to persuade Sun Busong to stay. Today, he had truly seen something extraordinary; he had never imagined that one person could know so many things!

"No, I don't belong here. I belong on the battlefield! I want to be with my subordinates! I'll leave the matters on the rear to you!"

"Salute!"

After giving the Mayor a Warrior's salute, Sun Busong turned and left the room!

The Mayor watched his retreating back and murmured, "What an extraordinary person! If only he had come to Night Town two years earlier!"

"Hmm? Why do I feel like I've heard that sentence before?"

Leaving the office, Sun Busong quickly arrived at the intersection guarded by Heavy Fist.

Mr. Heavy Fist was a melee fighter, and his role now was to shout. Yes, just shout. He wasn't a Professional like Usop with a lineage; Tauren didn't know many things.

"Be careful! Watch out for their Skeleton Archers."

"Over there, over there, hold the line! Don't let them cut the pillars. Where are the Hunters? Shoot them, shoot them in the eyes."

"You people, don't just stand there like idiots! Learn from me, throw rocks! Look how accurately I throw!"

When Sun Busong arrived at the intersection, Xiu Ma was the first to notice him. Xiu Ma couldn't be of much use right now. Seeing its master arrive, it walked over, shaking its head.

"Xiu Ma, don't run around, do you want to die? Quick, Boss! Boss, you're here!" Although Heavy Fist was a bit rough around the edges, his heart was quite attentive. While organizing everyone, he was still keeping an eye on Xiu Ma.

"It's fine, you carry on with your work, don't mind me, I have my own things to do." Seeing Heavy Fist about to leave his post to come over, Sun Busong immediately stopped him.

"Alright, Boss. You, come here. Someone here is injured and needs bandaging!"

The battle had just begun, and the enemy didn't seem to be in a hurry, only sending some of the lowest-tier Skeleton Soldiers to attack. There were even very few Skeleton Archers.

Realizing there was no immediate danger here, he took Xiu Ma and moved to the intersection commanded by Usop.

This place was different from where Heavy Fist was defending. The battle here was fierce. Usop was dealing with a group of Werewolves and beasts! The Werewolves were level 27 Night Wolfmen.

There were also Hungry Terror Wolves around level 26, Web-Spinning Spiders, Green Lone Spiders, Black Destroyers, Black Widow Spiders, and so on.

The level of these monsters isn't high, but their numbers are astonishing. They seem to be controlled by the Undead, desperately attacking the fortifications. It hasn't been long since the battle began, and there are already hundreds of corpses outside the defenses.

"Sir, I have no issues on my end. Although they have superior numbers, their levels are too low. They can't even bite through our defensive Equipment."

Upon seeing Sun Busong, Usop immediately came over to report the situation.

"That's good. I have some more items here. Take them and distribute them to everyone. There are less than four hours until dawn. The Undead mages will surely retreat then, so you must hold on."

"Roger that!"

Things were a little easier here than at the intersection defended by Heavy Fist. Next, Sun Busong planned to check on the area defended by the Night Watchmen.

But just then, Xiu Ma, beneath his feet, suddenly hunched its back, glaring fiercely in one direction, baring its fangs and letting out a series of growls.

Xiu Ma was warning him! Something powerful was definitely coming. Sun Busong quickly looked in the direction Xiu Ma was staring.

Soon, Sun Busong saw what had caused Xiu Ma to issue a warning!

A group of level 26 Black Destroyers (wolves) were rapidly charging towards them, led by a massive Wolf King.

As they approached, Sun Busong immediately saw the information of the leader: a level 26 Silver Elite Wolf King, Rubus!

Amidst the pack of black wolves, Rubus's silver fur was very conspicuous. Its body was twice the size of the other wolves. Its fierce eyes and protruding fangs were terrifying. It hadn't even reached the fortifications yet, but some of the timid people inside were already trembling from its aura.

A level 26 Silver Elite Wolf King already had tens of thousands of HP. Judging by its claws and fangs, its attack power would definitely not be low. It had now reached about 50 meters from the fortifications. It raised its head and let out a howl, and then all the Black Destroyers charged forward.

"Hold the line! Don't retreat! Their levels are very low, we can defend! Don't be afraid!"

Usop grabbed a large shield and charged to the weakest point of the fortifications. The others also mustered their courage and began to fight the wolf pack.

But there were too many wolves. They knew nothing of fear or death. As long as the Wolf King was here and alive, their attacks would not stop.

Waves of wolves charged out from the black fog deep in the forest. Sun Busong noticed that several sections of the fortifications were on the verge of collapse from their assault.

These wolves weren't like skeleton soldiers. They were fast, had some intelligence, and most importantly, they were beasts! They could leap!

Seeing several wolves suddenly leap over the fortifications into the village, the elderly and children working in logistics screamed in terror and scattered.

Whoosh! A shadow flashed.

Sun Busong had made his move!

"Die for me!"

Charge: 8-25 yard range. Instant cast. 60-second cooldown. Charge towards an enemy and stun them for 1 second. Cannot be used in combat.

Skill activated! Sun Busong seemed to teleport, appearing instantly in front of a wolf. With a light swing of his axe, the wolf's head rolled off.

Then, he let out a roar!

Skill Challenging Roar: Instant cast. 3-minute cooldown. Forces all enemies within a 10-yard radius to attack you for 6 seconds.

These wolves, which had jumped into the village intending to ambush other villagers, immediately turned their attention and lunged towards Sun Busong.

Xiu Ma no longer focused on the Wolf King. It let out a fierce growl, leaped into the air, and in mid-flight, bit down hard on a wolf that had jumped up to pounce on Sun Busong. A crack was heard, and the wolf was instantly torn in half, dead beyond any doubt.

"Holy crap!"

Even Sun Busong was surprised. When did his little cat get so awesome!

But now was not the time to ponder that. Sun Busong wielded his twin axes, turning them into streaks of light. In less than ten seconds, the ground was covered in sliced wolf corpses.

"Long live the Lord! Long live the Lord!"

Seeing this, the villagers excitedly shouted.

"Sir, you're awesome!" This was Usop and the two Fidia Black Guards shouting. After following Sun Busong for a while, they had picked up his catchphrases, and the Imperial Guards had learned them quite well.

Sun Busong waved his hand. "Everyone, keep up the good work! We can definitely hold the line!"

"Yes!!!"

He glanced at the corpses littering the ground, then looked back at Xiu Ma. The little guy had performed admirably today; he deserved some encouragement. But as he looked, he discovered Xiu Ma was exchanging meaningful glances with the rare Silver Elite Wolf King!

"It's about to go down!"

Sun Busong smiled slightly as he watched Xiu Ma bare its teeth and provoke the Wolf King.

"Go, take it on! I'll cover you, Dad!"

Xiu Ma could only understand "take it on!" It didn't understand any other commands yet, but knowing this was enough.

Xiu Ma leaped out of the fortifications. After biting and killing a few wolves blocking its path, it let out a growl towards the Wolf King.

The Wolf King responded to Xiu Ma's provocation with a howl of its own. Hearing the Wolf King's howl, the wolves that were about to pounce on Xiu Ma parted ways.

"Ooh! Is this a one-on-one duel?"

At this moment, Sun Busong also jumped out of the fortifications. His twin axes moved non-stop, cutting down all the wolves attacking him. His peripheral vision remained fixed on Xiu Ma; he didn't want his pet to be ripped to shreds.

The space between the Wolf King and Xiu Ma was cleared, and a battle was about to erupt. The area around Sun Busong was already piled high with wolf corpses.

He couldn't retreat now, nor did he want to. Although there were many wolf pups, each could only deal less than 30 damage to him. This amount of damage was trivial to him.

A wolf's howl kicked off the battle between two beast kings.

This was Rubus's first time seeing a lion. Although the opponent was smaller than him, why did he feel a sense of bloodline suppression when facing this guy? This feeling made the Wolf King extremely repressed and irritable. He would absolutely not allow such a creature to exist alive.

Xiu Ma, upon hearing the opponent's howl, charged straight over. Kings do not meet kings. If kings meet, one must die. Only the survivor is king!

Just as Xiu Ma was about to reach the Wolf King, the Wolf King, which had been waiting in place, suddenly opened its massive maw and spat out three Magic Missiles, which blasted directly at Xiu Ma's face!

Shadow Magic Missiles!

"Holy crap! This damn wolf is a Magic user!"

Hit by the Magic Missiles, Xiu Ma was sent staggering back several meters. The fur on his lion face was scorched. If he hadn't dodged in time, his eyeballs would have been burned.

Letting out a few whimpering growls, Xiu Ma lowered his body and roared at the opponent again. He no longer cared about the pain and charged forward once more. He wouldn't just take a beating without fighting back.

Sun Busong observed meticulously from the side. Although the three Magic Missiles had all hit Xiu Ma's vital spots, they had only managed to shave off 420 HP.

However, if it were another target, this attack would have at least taken half their HP.

Xiu Ma lunged and bit at the opponent, who didn't back down. Those Shadow Magic Missiles were likely a talent skill of the Wolf King. Now that they were in close combat, the Wolf King's melee attack and defense were almost on par with Xiu Ma's.

While cutting down the wild wolves surrounding him, Sun Busong shouted to Usop, "Don't mind me. You guys use ranged attacks. These wolves can't do anything to me. Don't you know my skills?"

Yes, Usop knew very well how strange his superior officer was. The more monsters the officer killed, the more HP he gained. Once, they encountered a Horde of over three hundred Mossy People. The officer seemed to have a grudge against the Mossy People and, without letting him or Heavy Fist intervene, charged in alone.

In less than two hours, the officer emerged from inside covered in blood. Afterward, Heavy Fist went in to check and found that not a single one had been left alive. When he was healing the officer, he discovered that the officer's HP had suddenly increased by over 600 points!

What did that mean? A Warrior of level twenty-something, even one with defensive talents and full Blue Gear, wouldn't have more than 1500 HP.

And the last time his superior officer was injured in a gunpowder accident, his HP had dropped to 10%. He had been so scared, thinking the officer was going to die. He desperately healed the officer, healing and healing, until he ran out of mana and drank three Mana Potions.

After replenishing the officer's HP bar, he almost thought he was going mad! Because he saw something that would drive him insane!

The officer had over fifty thousand HP!

That HP bar was too damn long!
