As required by the task.
The city that needed reinforcements was a small city called Xingning City.
Here, the City Lord's Manor reigns supreme.
The strongest person in the City Lord's Manor is only at the Half-Step God General Realm.
Therefore, facing a beast tide led by several God General Realm Devil Beast, resistance was extremely difficult, and they could only rely on external assistance.
the next day.
Zhongchang Gong Ye Qiubai and others also arrived at this place.
The City Lord's Manor immediately received the group.
The Xingning City approached with a smile, though his eyes were filled with weariness and solemnity. He cupped his hands in thanks and said with a smile, "Thank you all for coming to our aid. On behalf of all the people of Xingning City, I thank you."
Zhongchang Gong stepped forward and said, "You're too kind. Let's talk about the current situation."
The Xingning City nodded and said, "Currently, besides your team, another team has arrived in the city. I've already sent someone to summon them, and they should be here soon. We can talk then."
It's normal for multiple teams to accept a single task.
Zhongchang Gong was not surprised, nodded, and waited quietly to the side.
After an incense stick has burned.
Another team arrived at the scene just then.
When Zhongchang Gong saw them, he frowned slightly.
"Oh, isn't this Zhongchang Gong? I wondered who was trying to steal this mission from us."
Upon seeing this person, Zhongchang Gong frowned slightly.
" Lan Hai..."
Zhong Yan explained from the side, " Lan Hai is also inner disciple of the Divine Body Sect, and he and Zhongchang Gong have always been at odds."
A scrutinizing light appeared in Lan Hai's narrow eyes as he looked at Ye Qiubai and the others.
They were extremely unscrupulous, without the slightest attempt to conceal their actions.
Then, Lan Hai sneered, "Heh, Zhongchang Gong, you're really getting worse with age. You think you can take on this mission by bringing so many people here?"
"How can you, a mere God General Realm, compete with our team?"
In contrast, consider the Lan Hai team.
Although they were one person less than Zhongchang Gong's side, three of them were at the Early God General Realm, and the remaining three had reached the Half-Step God General Realm!
In terms of overall strength.
On the surface, Lan Hai's side does indeed appear to be much stronger than Zhongchang Gong's side.
No wonder he's so arrogant.
Zhongchang Gong said with a gloomy face, "Whether we can win or not, we'll have to see who's stronger in action."
Despite saying that, Zhongchang Gong still had some doubts in his heart.
He hadn't expected that this remote mission would attract Lan Hai as well.
Lan Hai sneered, "What's the point of just talking? How about we make a bet?"
Upon hearing this, Zhongchang Gong raised an eyebrow. "What kind of prize?"
"Whoever completes the task first will receive three years' worth of the sect's resources, how about that?"
Three years!
Zhongchang Gong's brow twitched; this was no small sum!
"What, is there a problem?" Lan Hai sneered, staring at Zhongchang Gong with a mocking tone, "Or are you afraid?"
Zhongchang Gong and Lan Hai were mortal enemies within the sect.
That's not all.
The inner sect elder behind the two was the same.
This led to a constant rivalry between the two, both within and outside the sect.
For the sake of saving face.
Zhongchang Gong had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
Seeing Zhongchang Gong nod, Lan Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, "I hope you won't regret it."
While the two were talking.
The Xingning City also glanced at Ye Qiubai and the others with a suspicious look.
Indeed, this team only has one God General Realm, while the rest are all God Soldier Realm. Can they really complete the mission...?
However, this suspicion could not be voiced directly.
Seeing that the two had finished their "discussion," he suppressed his doubts and chuckled, saying, "Alright, alright, you two, how about we discuss a solution?"
Now is a critical moment for the survival of Xingning City, and there is no time to waste.
This is a map of the area surrounding Xingning City.
As he spoke, the Xingning City spread out the map.
Upon inspection, everyone saw that the locations where the Devil Beast were temporarily staying, as well as the possible locations where Divine General- level Devil Beast might appear, had been marked.
Even the exact time of the attack was clearly marked on it.
The Xingning City said with a solemn expression, "The information on this map was obtained by the city's powerful figures at the cost of their lives."
"Of course, more importantly, the next beast tide attack is scheduled for midnight tomorrow."
Fang Qiong then asked, "Is the timing of the beast tide's attack fixed?"
The Xingning City nodded. "That's right, the eruption and spread of Dark Demon energy occurs at a specific time, which is midnight every three days."
"When the demonic energy spreads, that's when the beast tide will launch its attack."
That brings us to this.
The Xingning City said with a solemn expression, " Xingning City's reserves are almost depleted. Too many powerful warriors have sacrificed their lives. The next siege will depend on everyone... I urge you all to do your utmost to defend the city, otherwise Xingning City will likely suffer devastation..."
Zhongchang Gong smiled and said, "That's natural, that's exactly why we came here."
Lan Hai scoffed from the side, "Defending the city is inevitable; I'm just afraid you'll die on the city walls."
Zhongchang Gong: "Likewise."
The two of them were constantly looking for opportunities to mock each other...
"Alright, everyone, you can discuss your strategy now. The guest rooms have been arranged, so you can get some rest and be in top condition for tomorrow's defense."
Everyone nodded.
Look at the map.
There are seven red dots on the map.
That means there are seven Divine General- level Devil Beast.
A seven-headed, Divine General- level Devil Beast.
Including the city lord, and the patriarch of the next Lineage.
Among the three leaders of the Lan Hai faction, Zhongchang Gong.
There are only six God General Realm.
Standing to the side, Zhong Yan frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."
Xingning City is surrounded by city walls on three sides, while to the south it is a natural mountain range.
The northern city wall is home to three Divine General- level Devil Beast.
Two ends on the east and two on the west.
The northern city walls faced the greatest pressure.
The Xingning City said, "Should we hand over the north city wall to Lan Hai?"
After all, the Lan Hai team has three players at the God General Realm.
Lan Hai nodded and smiled, "That's exactly what I was thinking. We'll just slay those three Divine General level Devil Beast, and the mission will be complete."
As he said this, Lan Hai glanced at Zhongchang Gong.
Zhongchang Gong snorted coldly.
The Xingning City immediately poured cold water on this idea. "Don't underestimate those Devil Beast. With the blessing of Dark Demon energy, they are much stronger than ordinary God General Realm experts."
Half a day later.
They also determined their respective defensive positions.
The Xingning City, along with another powerful expert at the God General Realm, was stationed at the west city wall.
Zhongchang Gong was stationed at the eastern city wall.
Back in the guest room.
Mu Fusheng asked, "What do you think?"
Ye Qiubai laughed, "An opportunity delivered to my doorstep."
Fang Qiong smiled and nodded, "The two sides happen to have a conflict. If Zhongchang Gong really has that idea, we can take advantage of it."
Xiao Hei then reminded him, "I might need to conceal my strength then, since the people from the Demon King Domain are in this star field."
The three nodded.
After rest and recuperation.
The next day slowly arrived...
