Chapter 1969

"Next, we will present the special awards for individuals and teams.

"Please welcome Deputy Captain Gu!"

Gu Zhan walked onto the stage again.

He laughed and said: "I didn't expect that even with Captain Guan hosting, my workload still doesn't feel much lighter, haha, then let's continue... Huh?"

At this point, he suddenly stopped.

He was clearly trying to lighten the mood, but his smile instantly vanished, and his eyes widened dramatically!

"Red alert! Multiple!"

Gu Zhan's tone was very urgent.

Guan Zhiyong sprang to his feet.

The captains in the front row also stood up almost at the same time.

An expression of disbelief appeared on every face.

Guan Zhiyong said in utter astonishment: "How is that possible? Is it confirmed? How could so many places be issuing alerts at once?"

His voice wasn't very loud, but his tone was very urgent.

Combined with Gu Zhan's shout and the captains all suddenly standing up, the situation immediately drew the attention of every lord in the venue.

Everyone stared at the front.

Quite a few people also began whispering among themselves.

Lu Yibing said quickly: "Something won't go wrong, and even if it did, it couldn't happen to so many people at once. It's confirmed—werewolves are invading, coming from all directions at once!"

Bai Zhenyu said: "2 red alerts, 3 orange alerts, and 8 yellow alerts... The enemy has deployed 2 and a half regiments?"

Lu Yibing said: "This is already plain as day. There may be discrepancies, but the enemy has indeed sent out a massive force."

Li Ruanyu said: "What do we do now? Have everyone return to their territories to prepare for battle?"

Shangguan Ting's pretended calm expression changed; her eyes were filled with intense killing intent: "We can serve as the Vanguard Commander!"

Lu Yibing shook her head: "The information right now is too chaotic, and these are only preliminary alerts. Give us some time to confirm. Captain Guan, shall I head to Binghe County then?"

"Wait! I'm going too!" Guan Zhiyong said quickly: "Lu Yibing, Li Yanhui, Bai Zhenyu, you three come with me. Gu Zhan, you stay here and hold down the fort. Notify everyone of the situation and have them return immediately to prepare for battle!"

"Understood!" Gu Zhan leapt straight onto the stage.

The next moment, Guan Zhiyong and the 3 deputy captains vanished.

Li Ruanyu glanced at Shangguan Ting, quickly selected 5 sets of fashion outfits, and sent a trade request.

Shangguan Ting stared in astonishment at the trade window.

Inside were exactly the kind of fashion outfits Zhao Chi had given her before—the ones she had been longing for.

"What's the meaning of this?" She frowned.

"What else could it mean? Don't you want them? Hurry up and take them and put them on!"

Shangguan Ting really wanted to say 'I don't want your crappy clothes,' but this kind of fashion outfit boosted her so much that she truly couldn't bring herself to say it.

Besides, the current situation was dire—it was no time to consider personal preferences.

"Hmph, after this battle I'll return them to you."

"Suit yourself."

The very next second after Gu Zhan leapt onto the stage, he shouted directly:

"Everyone quiet!!"

His voice was very loud, even a little off-key.

The lords knew he was about to deliver critical news, and instantly there was dead silence.

Gu Zhan roared:

"Just now, personnel from the front sent word that the werewolves have massed a large army to attack us.

"A rough estimate is 2.5 regiments.

"Among them, 1 regiment is attacking toward West Abyss County! The remaining 1.5 regiments are attacking toward Binghe County!

"At least 1 werewolf brigade is charging straight toward 'River Valley Town' and 'Horn Cliff Town'.

"The subordinate villages basically each have 1 enemy squadron.

"This is a tough battle. Everyone return immediately to prepare for battle.

"Remember to keep checking the captain group chat for messages. After all, this has happened suddenly, and there may well be additional orders!"

The lords below were all stunned.

The werewolves have deployed close to 2.5 regiments?

That many?

The World-Breaking Army only has a total of 5 regiments in Snowfield City.

And they're all scattered across various towns.

On top of that, the werewolves are so powerful...

How do we fight this?

1 brigade of werewolves is charging toward Horn Cliff Town?

Each village also has a squadron-sized force?

Can we even win this?

Every lord felt as if facing a formidable enemy.

The moment Gu Zhan finished speaking, Li Ruanyu also rushed onto the stage the next moment.

She announced loudly:

"Sorry everyone, this situation is truly special.

"As the main fighting force of Horn Cliff Town, the Jade Squadron must remain to garrison Horn Cliff Town.

"So this time we cannot follow everyone back to the village.

"I will immediately transfer the connection points of the Jade Squadron lords. Please understand!"

"Everyone, please return as quickly as possible to prepare for battle. Report any situation immediately!"

This matter was perfectly reasonable.

If it were ordinary werewolf harassment, or a counterattack by the Heavenly King Army, they would basically strike in from the outer villages and towns.

The Jade Squadron helping them with their defense was also guarding against this.

But now, the werewolves were striking everywhere, and Horn Cliff Town was also in danger.

The Jade Squadron had to hold Horn Cliff Town, so it was indeed impossible for them to defend the village together with them anymore.

Although the lords of those villages were somewhat disappointed—after all, they had lost a very powerful fighting force—they could all understand.

At this moment, all the lords knew how serious the situation was.

A great deal of light appeared.

The lords of the various villages teleported back one after another.

Basically only the lords stationed at Horn Cliff Town remained on site.

These people could hardly restrain themselves from discussing.

"Holy crap!"

"That's impossible, right? How did so many werewolves come? Aren't they going to attack the nobles?"

"It's only less than three regiments. The werewolves can still afford to send out this many troops."

"That's not what I mean. The werewolves are now in a stalemate with the nobles, and the nobles are already on their last breath. If they redeploy three regiments, won't the nobles be able to breathe a sigh of relief? Would they really do that?"

"That's true… who knows what the werewolves are thinking."

"Could it be a false report?"

"A false report? Are you not grown up yet? Still clinging to such fantasies?"

"Damn, what are the people at the front doing? Why didn't they notify us earlier?"

"It was already early enough. At least there's still time to prepare."

"Sigh… this kind of thing…"

Generally, there are two kinds of invasion.

【The first kind】 A frontal assault.

The werewolf lord attacks head-on, and it's a contest of raw strength.

Mars crashing into Earth—whoever is stronger wins.

The most direct kind.
