The beast tide arrived ahead of schedule this time, and Pudas from Jiutong Mountain could no longer return safely. The City Lord ordered a team to rush to Jiutong Mountain to help the scholars defend against the beast tide's attack.
As Lu Hong climbed atop the city walls, he saw the black fog on the horizon spreading continuously towards the city.
The City Lord stood beside Lu Hong and spoke, "If you are willing, you can assist us in killing the Demon Beasts, but I hope you will be cautious. Spring Fragrance Pavilion may take advantage of the chaos to strike against you. I must confront the leader of the beast tide and cannot protect you at the same time. If the battle becomes chaotic, it would be best for you to voluntarily retreat to the City Lord Mansion. I have set up sufficient power there to ensure your safety."
"Thank you, City Lord. Although I am of the Human Race, I am willing to do my part for City 022."
