The fifth year after the Seventh Great Wall fell.
Although performances were still held regularly in the Inner City District, things were just as Kuang Cang and Chu Chang had anticipated: that battle had borrowed against their future. Over the following year,
both the Northern Wall and the Southern Wall gradually lost ground under the Demon Army's fierce assaults.
Breaches were blasted through sections of the walls, and before they could be repaired, countless demons swarmed forward, trying to tear the gaps wider.
Although the Defenders on the walls drove them back, some demons still made it into the Outer City District.
Fortunately, the Outer City District had been actively preparing all manner of military fortifications. Bai Man also commanded an army no smaller than those under Kuang Cang and Chu Chang, and she wiped out the demons entering the district before they could cause any real trouble.
But such incidents grew increasingly frequent, and gradually, the sounds of fighting between the Myriad Races and the demons could also be heard in the Outer City District.
Boom!! Crash!!
A section of the Northern City Wall soon collapsed.
The surging tide of demons seemed to have finally found an outlet. Hundreds of millions of demons poured into the Outer City District in no time.
