Chapter 121: Arrival at Xingcheng! Division of the Hellblood Vine!
After being dismissed, everyone hurried toward their barracks.
Sang Yue whispered, "This is a big problem!"
Su Yang asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Because it's near the Hui'an Mountains, the mountains experience beast rampages every few years, so Xingcheng's overall strength is not just one level higher than ours in Qixingcheng!" Sang Yue emphasized, "If Xingcheng truly falls, our Qixingcheng will be directly exposed to the southern side of the Hui'an Mountains."
"Shouldn't it hold?"
"Hard to say!" Wu Yuqing shook her head. "Historically, south of Xingcheng stood another base city called Huian City—Huian City was completely lost over thirty years ago."
"Alright!"
No wonder Qixingcheng Society rushed to aid Xingcheng when it called for help—they had this kind of relationship.
If Xingcheng falls, Qixingcheng won't fare any better.
Half an hour passed in a flash; all over a thousand beast-taming masters from the seven mobile battalions of the Reclamation Force had assembled.
Su Su Liqun, the mayor of Qixingcheng, stood before them with a grave expression and spoke bluntly: "Xingcheng cannot fall. To put it bluntly and realistically, Xingcheng is our southern shield—if Xingcheng is gone, we in Qixingcheng will be the ones facing the Hui'an Mountains' beast rampages!"
"Most of you have families in Qixingcheng—you wouldn't want your loved ones exposed to beasts, would you?"
Su Yang clenched his teeth tightly.
Wu Yuqing beside him also wore a serious expression.
The other members of the mobile battalions grew equally serious.
Su Su Liqun's blunt words struck home.
"Defending Xingcheng is defending ourselves. I ask each of you to give your all—do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Louder! Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
