"Why does it feel like this wave of the Demon Race army is not as many as at noon?" Shengshi Wei Xiao said, standing next to Shengshi Drunk Ghost in the [Cyan Dragon High-Level Battlefield].

At this moment, Shengshi Drunk Ghost and the others were facing the wave of the Demon Race army at midnight.

However, as soon as the two sides made contact, Shengshi Wei Xiao discovered the problem:

"Why isn't there a Demon Monarch Lv70 in this wave?"

Shengshi Drunk Ghost quickly noticed this too.

This wave of the Demon Race was still as vast as a tide, densely packed in a huge mass.

But until now, they still hadn't seen the figure of a Demon Monarch. Shengshi Drunk Ghost said while resisting the Demon Race's attack:

"Maybe the number of Demon Monarchs is just random."

However, at the next moment, the Battle Zone channel (100 Gold Coins per message) suddenly started to overflow with messages:

[Hua Country Battle Zone Channel] [Legion Member] "I love eating chestnuts": "The Black Tortoise High-Level Battlefield is about to fall, hurry over!"

[Hua Country Battle Zone Channel] [Legion Member] Famous Clan Feng Shao: "Damn the Heavenly Dao Alliance and Qingyi Pavilion, you traitors will never come to a good end!"

[Hua Country Battle Zone Channel] [Legion Member] Hall of Fame Xiao Ai: "Seeking reinforcements for the Black Tortoise High-Level Battlefield, hurry up! We can't hold on much longer."

[Hua Country Battle Zone Channel] [Legion Member] Yun Nuo: "There are traitors in our Battle Zone, retreating in battle, those who Return to City—are you even men? I look down on you!"

...

These messages were constantly flooding the Battle Zone channel like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Every player in the Hua Country Battle Zone saw these messages at the same time, leaving countless people in shock.

Shengshi Drunk Ghost was even more dumbfounded:

"What's going on over there?"

But he soon realized the seriousness of the situation:

"Who is the guild in charge of Black Tortoise City?"

Shengshi Wei Xiao said without hesitation:

"Famous Clan!"

At this time, Shengshi Wei Xiao's private chat flashed again, and immediately, disbelief flashed across his face:

"Over ten guilds suddenly Returned to City from Black Tortoise, and now hundreds of Demon Monarchs have appeared simultaneously at the Black Tortoise High-Level Battlefield—it's about to fall!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Shengshi Drunk Ghost's hair stood on end as he said:

"Those bastards!"

"Knew they'd be up to something shady."

He then cursed angrily:

"Damn it!"

"Have them hold the line here, all the Shengshi members go to support Black Tortoise City."

Then, in Shengshi Dynasty's guild channel:

Shengshi Drunk Ghost (Guild President): "All members above Lv55, head to the Black Tortoise High-Level Battlefield immediately and help out now!!!"

In almost no time, white flashes of players Returning to City began to flicker across various high-level battlefields.

When Shengshi Drunk Ghost arrived at the Teleportation Array Plaza in Black Tortoise City, he saw members retreating from the Black Tortoise Battlefield, such as those from Qingyi Pavilion.

Shengshi Drunk Ghost caught sight of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's president, Jue Ming Tian Jun.

Seeing the killing intent in Shengshi Drunk Ghost's eyes, Jue Ming Tian Jun quickly explained:

"Boss Drunk Ghost, it's not what you think, I was just doing a task."

However, Shengshi Drunk Ghost couldn't be bothered to listen to his explanation, pushing him away and walking towards the Teleportation Array, cursing:

"Go explain to your own son, bastard."

Jue Ming Tian Jun responded with a sour face:

"Why are you cursing?"

At that moment, players from Proud Sanctuary and Ice and Snow Illusion City also rushed to the Black Tortoise City Teleportation Array.

Watching the major guilds appearing and disappearing in succession, the presidents of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and Qingyi Pavilion exchanged looks:

"Did we get into trouble?"

When Shengshi Drunk Ghost entered [Black Tortoise City High-Level Battlefield], before he could see clearly what's happening, a dark shadow swiftly attacked:

"Pch~"

"-189997"

A huge damage number floated above Shengshi Drunk Ghost's head, the powerful impact knocking him far away.

The moment Shengshi Drunk Ghost regained himself, he saw a Demon Monarch with twin horns rushing at him, hand axe in hand:

Shengshi Drunk Ghost hurriedly raised his shield to block:

"Clang~"

"-68199" Knock Back~

Shengshi Drunk Ghost was knocked back several steps by the massive force.

Just as Shengshi Drunk Ghost was preparing to strike back,

A magic system Demon Monarch in the distance completed a magic chant, its magic staff pointed directly at Shengshi Drunk Ghost:

"Celestial Fire"

A searing Flame descended onto Shengshi Drunk Ghost:

"Boom~"

"-211001" Burned~

Before Shengshi Drunk Ghost could make sense of the situation, his health had already dropped by two-thirds, filling him with shock and anger:

"Damn!"

As Shengshi Drunk Ghost grew agitated, a flicker of Holy Light suddenly landed on him:

"Holy Healing Technique"

"+121044"

Shengshi Drunk Ghost turned his head to see Zhang Xinying giving a weary smile.

Suddenly, Shengshi Drunk Ghost shouted, raising his Large Shield and charging at the Demon Monarch ahead:

"I'll fight you with all I've got!"

At this moment, Tianshi appeared from behind the Demon Monarch:

"Slaughter Thunder"

"Pch~"

"-110482" Critical Strike~

Two daggers plunged fiercely into the Demon Monarch's flesh, causing it to cry out in pain.

Just as the Demon Monarch was about to counterattack against Tianshi, an Arrow split the air and flew:

"Wind-Splitting Arrow"

"Pch~"

"-98896" Critical Strike~

The Arrow pierced straight through its forehead, leaving it immobilized.

Seeing this, Shengshi Drunk Ghost rushed forward:

"Domineering·Heavy Strike"

"Boom~"

"-78990"

The Large Shield hit its body hard, sending it flying.

The players, who had been beaten down by the Demon Race, began to stabilize the situation somewhat with the support of several major guilds.

When Shengshi Drunk Ghost and Tianshi worked together to shred a Demon Monarch, Shengshi Drunk Ghost finally realized.

The battlefield had long been chaotic, with bodies everywhere.

During this short interval, countless demons had already passed through the players and merged into the barrier behind them.

The voice of Black Tortoise City Lord Aiborn suddenly echoed above Black Tortoise City:

"Demon Race has appeared in the territory of Black Tortoise City, Chosen Ones, please Return to City quickly to avoid being killed."

Players do not lose levels if they die on the battlefield.

But if they're killed in the wild, there's a penalty of level loss.

Initially, some people didn't understand what was happening.

But when a Demon Monarch appeared in the void and instantly killed someone, the players finally realized:

"The Demon Race has actually appeared outside Black Tortoise City."

Meanwhile, players in the city noticed.

Fully armed squads of the City Guard were rushing out of the city.

These City Guards were all at least Lv60, exuding a sharp presence.

In the absence of the Demon King, City Lord Aiborn also couldn't act against the Demon Race.

Therefore, he could only dispatch the City Guard to clear out the Demon Race.

Standing on the rooftop of the City Lord's Mansion, gazing at the brightly lit Teleportation Array Plaza.

Aiborn recalled Andre's previous words, coldly said:

"This is your doing."
