Li Gang looked at the graceful figure singing loudly amidst the smoke and fire, feeling his heart twitch.

It was not like he had never seen S-Rank Support Classer before.

Yet compared to the blue-haired girl before him, those people were simply like fireflies next to the bright moon; they were simply not on the same level.

SS-Rank.

This speculation was completely reasonable.

Li Gang's mind spun rapidly, and one bizarre thought after another popped up.

He thought of Zhuge Kongming under the city, who single-handedly carved out a Grade 6 city defense Formation.

One hour.

To forcibly elevate a defensive Formation covering a city wall several thousand meters long from Grade 4 to Grade 6.

Was this something an S-Rank Formation Master could do?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

That gentleman named Zhuge Kongming was probably... also an SS-Rank Expert!

Thinking of this, Li Gang subconsciously gasped.

His heart beat wildly out of control.

What on earth was going on with this Evernight Guild?

Quietly hiding three SS-Rank monsters within a single guild?

What kind of magic did this tiny Donghai City actually have?

How could it gather so many top Geniuses?

Moreover, each was more low-profile and more mysterious than the last.

If not for this sudden beast tide, he might never have discovered this shocking secret in his lifetime.

Li Gang's thoughts drifted far away.

He thought once more of Gandalf, who had made a stunning debut during the National Examination.

That fellow seemed to have also walked out of Donghai City?

Good heavens!

Li Gang's heart gave a fierce thump.

Counting Gandalf, that made a full four SS-Rank Experts!

Viewed this way, how was Donghai City any fourth- or fifth-tier small city?

This fucking place was simply a blessed land for birthing SS-Rank Experts and a cradle for Geniuses!

The more Li Gang thought about it, the more wrong it felt.

Why would SS-Rank Experts appear in clusters in a remote coastal small city?

If he told this to others, they would surely think he had gone mad and was bragging.

He secretly made up his mind.

If Donghai City could really hold out this time, he would definitely investigate what kind of secrets existed within Donghai City in the future.

As Sona's singing resounded across the battlefield, the morale of all Classer was elevated to its peak.

They seemed tireless and insensible to pain, with raging Battle Intent burning in their eyes.

In everyone's heart, an absurd thought even arose.

A million-strong beast tide seemed... nothing much after all.

The most crucial thing was that the blue-haired girl seemed to possess endless energy.

After finishing one song, she immediately started another, with a stirring and powerful musical style.

Bottle after bottle of mana-recovery potions were drunk by her like water without blinking an eye, coolly pouring them straight into her mouth.

Although the current situation had temporarily stabilized, Li Gang's inner worries had not diminished.

He was very clear that currently the main force of Donghai City was almost entirely concentrated at the East City Gate.

Although the other three city gates were also guarded by several thousand Classer each, the majority of them were only low-tier Classer of levels ten to twenty.

Their strength was ultimately limited.

Once the exotic beast army failed to take it after a long siege and turned directions, the other city gates could easily become breakthrough points.

But given the current situation, he simply could not spare any extra troops to provide support.

He could only leave it to fate.

Holding on a bit longer, hoping that the Jiangning City Military Headquarters would discover the abnormality early and send troops over.

Li Gang did not know.

Regarding the concerns in his heart, Zhou Huai had already thought of them.

But he never counted on external aid.

Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself.

Just as everyone at the East City Gate was fiercely fighting and battling in blood.

No one noticed.

Demon Dragon Xiao Hei, along with Da Yi holding the longbow, had long since quietly withdrawn from this main battlefield.

The instructions Zhou Huai gave them were very simple.

Relying on Demon Dragon Xiao Hei's ultra-high mobility and Da Yi's terrifying ultra-long-range attack capability, they were to provide mobile support to the other three city walls.

Everything they did was to buy more time for Zhuge Kongming.

At this moment, that white-robed Formation Master was shuttling rapidly within the city.

Since he could no longer carve Formations from the outer city, he would carve them inside the city.

He wanted to turn the entire Donghai City into a layered, impregnable war fortress.

In case the city wall fell, they could still rely on the defensive Formations within the city to block step-by-step and resist sequentially!

At the same time.

Donghai City, Blacksmiths' Guild Headquarters.

Zhou Huai's consciousness quietly transferred onto Ou Yezi.

At this moment, Ou Yezi was still staying in that top-tier forging room.

Zhou Huai manipulated him to slowly push open that heavy metal gate.

Outside the door, it was no longer as quiet and peaceful as when he went in.

The entire Blacksmiths' Guild was in utter chaos at the moment.

Countless forging apprentices and staff members hurried about, their faces filled with panic and fear.

They were busily packing up the dazzling array of equipment on the shelves.

"Hurry! Hurry up!"

An anxious shout came from the center of the hall.

Supervisor Shen Qiu of the design department was flush-faced, shouting loudly at his subordinates.

"Try to collect all the rare-quality equipment first!"

"Never mind the fine-quality ones! There is no time!"

"And those equipment blueprints! Throw away all those below level twenty! Keep only those above level twenty!"

His voice sounded somewhat hoarse due to anxiety.

Zhou Huai manipulated Ou Yezi and walked forward slowly.

"Supervisor Shen."

His voice was calm, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding noise.

"What are you all doing?"

Supervisor Shen Qiu suddenly turned his head, and when he saw clearly that the incoming person was Ou Yezi, the anxiety on his face instantly turned into wild joy.

He rushed over in a single step, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Thank goodness! My Master Ou Yezi! You have finally come out!"

"I had Lin Wei call you several times just now, but you didn't answer. I was almost going to call people to break down the door!"

Supervisor Shen Qiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained at an extremely fast pace.

"Master, something major has happened in Donghai City! Exotic beasts are besieging the city! The scale is unprecedented!"

"Fighting has already broken out over at the East City Wall! I heard that the number of this beast tide exceeds one million! Donghai City, very likely... cannot be protected!"

He pointed at the crowd packing things not far away, his face full of lingering fear.

"Right now, Old Master Ye Zhentian of cumpany... of the Ye family is organizing the residents in the city to evacuate!"

"Let's quickly pack up our things and leave too! Any later, and it really will be too late!"

Finished speaking, Supervisor Shen Qiu seemed to remember something, and hurriedly waved towards a graceful figure not far away organizing blueprints.

"Lin Wei! Lin Wei, come over quickly!"

Hearing this, the woman named Lin Wei immediately trotted over.

Seeing Ou Yezi, a trace of joy also flashed in her eyes, and she bowed respectfully.

Supervisor Shen Qiu pointed at Ou Yezi and eagerly instructed Lin Wei.

"Hurry up! Stop packing! Take Master Ou Yezi to the Ye family right now!"

"Just say that he is Master Ou Yezi, and Old Master Ye Zhentian will definitely arrange for him to enter the portal with priority!"

He turned his head and spoke to Ou Yezi again.

"Master, you leave first! Once you reach Jiangning City, you will be safe!"

"You are the treasure of our Great Xia Nation's forging world, you must not come to any harm!"

Lin Wei also stepped forward and respectfully bent down towards Ou Yezi.

"Master Ou Yezi, let's go."

There was a trace of trembling in her voice.

Evidently, facing this sudden disaster, this young girl also felt extreme fear.

However, facing the two people's urging.

Zhou Huai calmly shook his head instead.

On that somewhat blackened face stained by fierce fire and thick smoke, his expression did not have a shred of ripple.

He looked at Supervisor Shen Qiu and said with utmost earnestness:

"Everyone."

"We cannot leave!"
