A piercing alarm sounded urgently, and chaos erupted at the scene. Wang Xiong was thrown back by the first shockwave, and in his dazed state, someone carried him away at high speed.
When he groggily opened his eyes, he saw a world turned upside down, with trees rushing past him.
Where am I?
The rapidly moving trees suddenly stopped, and a sound of heavy breathing rang out.
He sat down on the ground and then saw his surroundings.
Four or five dimensional soldiers, covered in blood, sat under a tree, their heavy breathing echoing through the space.
"Brother Wang? What's going on?"
Wang Li looked at him, took out first aid supplies, and used them to stabilize the drooping arm.
"The enemy attacked, and the fortifications were breached."
Wang Xiong's eyes narrowed, while the Moon Wolf beside him licked his arm, completely unaware.
His voice was hoarse. "Has the news gotten out?"
Wang Li paused, then remained silent.
Wang Xiong jumped up and left.
Wang Li grabbed his arm, "What are you doing!?"
Wang Xiong shook off his hand, "Pass on a red alert! The enemy's attack is aggressive and they're definitely not just trying to capture a Silver-tier secret realm."
Letting them enter Qingzhou silently will result in countless deaths! There's even a risk of breaching the city's defensive perimeter!
At this point, Wang Xiong turned to look at everyone.
His eyes were grave. "You know this better than I do. We must get the alarm going!"
One of the dimensional soldiers whispered, "Maybe the garrison outside has already sent a message. We just need to hold on a little longer, and the rescue will arrive soon."
Wang Xiong flew into a rage and shouted, "Are you going to gamble on that one sliver of possibility? Are you going to gamble that you have no means of countermeasures after the enemy breaches your outer camp?"
The man lowered his head and said nothing more.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber, and Wang Xiong knew that his chances of completing the task alone were slim.
He glanced at the five wounded dimensional soldiers.
"Brothers, do you remember your first lesson when you joined the army?"
Upon hearing this, all five of them shuddered, and Wang Li gritted his teeth and tightened the bandage securing his arm.
Wang Xiong seemed to be asking a question, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
“I know you’ve always looked down on me, only seeing me as a second-generation rich kid who got seniority through connections, but it doesn’t matter. Now it’s my turn to stand up, and I will never back down!”
The first lesson in the military: sacrifice and oath!
Wang Xiong's serious and resounding voice rang out as he recited to himself.
"The night is long and the light is dim; I will keep watch here day and night!"
I am the guardian of the night!
I am the steadfast shield before the people!
I am a sharp sword in the darkness!
I will break through the confusion and forge ahead!
I will be loyal to my duty and die for my principles!
I will resist the bloodthirsty claws!
I will fight against the darkness and evil!
The dawn before sunrise will surely be my greatest medal!
Life and death are at stake here; we will loyally guard this place!
This happens every day, every night!
As the chanting ended, all five of them spontaneously rose in unison.
Wang Xiong looked at the five men with resolute expressions and smiled. "Brothers, let's fight our way back!"
"Fight back!"
"What's there to be afraid of? I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!"
The group shouted and ran wildly toward the defensive fortifications.
...
In the Beast Taming Department square, many important figures from Qingzhou were watching the live broadcast from numerous temporary private rooms.
Suddenly, a ripped image flashed by, and all the live stream feeds turned black.
Outside the plaza, the makeshift portal suddenly closed after a series of twists, severing numerous cables and scattering sparks and electricity.
"What's going on?!"
Someone rushed out of the private room and shouted a question.
Following closely behind, Ye Qingya, Liu Feixue, and the others arrived at the square one by one.
Technicians, their brows slick with sweat, were testing the spatial force field device and the portal generator.
Faced with questions from numerous influential figures, he was sweating profusely with anxiety.
"Sir, the situation is unclear at the moment; we are investigating!"
Ye Qingya frowned, sensing something unusual.
Soon, an hour passed, and Ye Qingya asked again.
"Haven't you found the reason yet? Can't we force open a spatial passage?"
Ye Qingya's voice rang out coldly.
Just as everyone in the square was waiting anxiously, Zhao Jun arrived with a look of horror on his face.
"Mayor! The Blood Spirit Society has breached the new secret realm in Gyeongbuk, and a large number of Blood Spirit Society members are heading here!"
Ye Qingya's expression changed. "Who delivered the message?"
"The message came from the dimensional army stationed in the secret realm. The secret realm is currently out of contact, and all departments of the military have received the message."
The defenses at all key points have been reinforced! The Blood Spirit Society members have now abandoned the city's defensive positions and are heading towards the plaza!
Ye Qingya frowned slightly. "It seems they're after me. The military has raised its guard and moved into the node. They want the key to open the defensive field here."
Zhao Jun's expression changed. "Mayor, should we avoid this place for a while?"
"Hide? Where can we hide? The other side created this whole thing just to draw our attention here. If we hide now, all the students in this secret realm will probably die!"
After saying this, Ye Qingya said no more and turned to look at the important beast tamers of Qingzhou around her.
"Gentlemen, the Blood Spirit Society has attacked. They have already entered the city through a special secret realm and are now heading this way. Be prepared and wipe them out!"
Chairman Wu and Liu Feixue, among others, all frowned, but none of them uttered a word about running away.
In the crowd, Gu Qingyun, the head of the Gu family, and Ye Zhan, the head of the Ye family, exchanged a glance and slowly retreated to a corner.
"how so?"
Gu Qingyun asked in a low voice, her tone urgent.
According to the initial plan, the Blood Spirit Society members were supposed to take advantage of the mayor and other powerful figures being distracted by the matter of the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm to launch a surprise attack on the city's defensive position nodes.
Then, they activated the protective barrier, luring the alien beasts to attack the city. Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, with various powerful figures rushing to put out fires, they entered the pre-arranged Qingzhou treasury to seize its resources.
Incidentally, a large number of high-ranking officials who died afterward were held accountable. With some maneuvering, they could take up new posts. After all, there are only so many powerful figures in Qingzhou, so their chances are very high.
"You ask me? How would I know? Everything's in complete chaos now. It seems the Blood Spirit Society is going all in, trying to kill Ye Qingya and seize the key to open the protective barrier."
Ye Zhan also spoke with a gloomy expression.
Gu Qingyun's face was grim. A major battle was breaking out here, but what about the chickens? Should they contribute or not?
"What do we do now? Should we make a move?"
Ye Zhan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Of course we have to make a move. That bitch Ye Qingya suffered an unknown serious injury and has been hiding for more than half a year. She's already at her last gasp and is just putting on a brave face."
"A very important figure from our faction has come to the Blood Spirit Gathering this time. If all these people in the square die, we'll reap even greater benefits!"
Hearing Ye Zhan say that, Gu Qingyun also felt somewhat resigned to her fate.
After all, someone will hold him accountable afterward, and he doesn't have time to deal with things in the chaos now. He can't escape responsibility for his illegitimate son entering the secret realm.
Soon, Ye Qingya moved all the low-level beast tamers who had little combat power to the safe room of the Beast Taming Department.
In the square, only about a dozen skilled beast tamers remained, according to the statistics.
This includes Wu Linye, the Platinum Three-Star President of the Spirit Contract Association, and Liu Feixue, the Gold Ten-Star Captain of the Flying Snow Team.
Vice-captain Hu Bukuan, a Gold Eight-Star; Vice-captain Zhang Shanli, a Gold Seven-Star.
Bu Feifei, Vice President of the War Beast Guild, and Yu Danian, Principal of Mingyuan Middle School, both possess the title of "Golden Ten-Star".
Principal of Yantai Middle School, Huang Jinshixing, Li Yunli; Deputy Commander of Qingzhou Three Armies, Bai Jinsanxing, Wu Hongwei.
The Gu family head is Gu Qingyun, a Gold Ten Star, and the Ye family head is Ye Zhan, a Platinum One Star.
Mayor Ye Qingya, a nine-star platinum figure, and Vice Mayor Zhao Jun, a ten-star gold figure, are both from Qingzhou!
