The next morning, Wu Shaozhen was woken early by a soldier knocking at his door, then followed him to the City Lord's Manor.
"Young Dustseal, you're here..."
All twelve people from yesterday were in the manor's grand hall, smiling at him...
Wu Shaozhen wasn't sure whether he was imagining it, but their smiles seemed a little ingratiating...
"City Lord, why did you call me over so early?" Wu Shaozhen asked.
"Here's the situation. Word came from Taotie City that a large force of Otherworldly Demons is attacking it. Things are dire over there, and they're requesting aid from all the major cities.
"We're preparing to send reinforcements. Would you be interested in going to see those Otherworldly Demons for yourself?" the City Lord asked.
Wu Shaozhen's eyes lit up. He was indeed very curious about those Otherworldly Demons, so he nodded. "Sure. Let's take a look."
The City Lord looked delighted when Wu Shaozhen agreed...
After all, Wu Shaozhen was a God-tier powerhouse, and a single God-tier powerhouse could make a major difference on the battlefield. Moreover, the woman beside him was very likely a Transcendent God-tier powerhouse. If she could lend a hand, that would be ideal...
Their original plan had actually been to assign any Adventurers who arrived straight to the barracks and send them to the battlefield...
But they had never imagined that the very first Adventurer to arrive would already be God-tier, with a Transcendent God-tier powerhouse accompanying him. They had no choice but to be courteous, and could only politely ask Wu Shaozhen to help.
"Since you're willing to go, we only need to send nine more God-tier powerhouses, along with two hundred Saint-tier experts, a thousand Immortal-tier experts, and a hundred thousand soldiers. Miller, assemble everyone. Meet at the city gate in an hour!"
