Chapter 153: Everyone, Return to Defend Immediately!

"Impossible…"

Shen Jun's lips trembled slightly.

"Impossible… Gangzi clearly reported that there was only Lin Mo alone…"

Five hundred people!

Those weren't five hundred pigs standing still — they were five hundred elite sophomores, every one of them above level thirty!

Not to mention, the formation also included a full hundred and fifty water mages specially assembled to counter fire-type abilities!

By all reason,

a formation of these five hundred could easily handle even a level forty wild BOSS.

"Jun-ge… this Lin Mo, he's simply not human!"

Zhou Kai broke out in a cold sweat.

Unbidden, Lin Mo's face surfaced in his mind — "Demon King… this guy really is a Demon King!"

Gu Qingge beside him took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart.

"Jun-ge, now is not the time to be shocked."

"Look at the map — Lin Mo's movement speed is way too fast! In less than half an hour, he'll probably be at our main city…"

Gu Qingge analyzed rapidly:

"On the other hand, the other nine teams we sent to attack the Demon King City — at their current speed, it'll probably take another hour before they reach Demon King City…"

At this, Gu Qingge's gaze grew utterly serious:

"Jun-ge, right now our main city only has five teams left to hold it. Unless some miracle happens, we have absolutely no way to stop Lin Mo from smashing our King statue!"

Hearing Gu Qingge's analysis, Shen Jun shuddered all over.

He drew several ragged breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

"What we can confirm now is that Lin Mo really did come to siege the city alone, leaving all his other nineteen people behind to garrison Demon King City."

"If we keep trying to attack Demon King City, we'll definitely have our King statue torn down by Lin Mo first…"

"Qingge."

Shen Jun calmed himself and asked evenly:

"If those nine teams now return to defend at full speed, how fast can they get back? Can they make it back before Lin Mo breaks through the main city?"

At this, Gu Qingge immediately began calculating.

A few seconds later.

She raised her head: "Yes."

"Good!"

Shen Jun nodded.

"Pass down my order!"

"All teams currently heading for Demon King City — stop advancing immediately! Abandon the attack on Demon King City!"

"Everyone, return to defend the Hero Main City at full speed immediately!"

"If five hundred can't stop him, then a thousand! If a thousand can't stop him, then fourteen hundred!"

"Everyone, return to defend immediately! We're not attacking anymore!"

"We only have one goal now — gather all our strength before the walls of the Hero Main City and wipe this Demon King Lin Mo out completely!!!"

……

Meanwhile.

At the other end of the map, Demon King City.

Ye Kong was directing several earth-type freshmen, laying trap after trap and defensive works outside the city.

"Dawei! Bring that boulder over here and block up this gap!"

Ye Kong shouted loudly, panting between breaths.

"You got it! Leave it to me!"

Wang Dawei's muscles were knotted all over his body.

He let out a roar and hoisted a rock weighing several tons, slamming it into the gap in the city gate with a thunderous boom.

Ye Kong's expression was filled with gravity.

After all, what they were about to face was the siege army of the sophomore veterans!

As vice class leader of Long Xu Ban, Ye Kong felt the weight on his shoulders was unbearably heavy — he had to hold this Demon King City at all costs.

Not far away.

Han Mengqing had somehow produced a bunch of grapes from somewhere.

"Come on, Lingxuan, open wide, ah—"

She cheerfully popped a grape into Chu Lingxuan's mouth, then picked up a glass of juice herself and took a lovely sip.

Seeing this, Wang Dawei's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"No… you girls!"

Wang Dawei walked over, saying with tears in his eyes:

"What time is it now — how can you still be in the mood for a picnic out here? There are over a thousand people on the other side! They could be at our gates any minute!"

Han Mengqing rolled her eyes.

She tossed a grape high into the air, caught it precisely in her mouth, and mumbled:

"Ugh, Dawei, you're worrying over nothing."

"Worrying over nothing?!"

Wang Dawei's eyes went wide.

Han Mengqing brushed the debris off her hands and said matter-of-factly:

"With Big Shot Lin Mo stepping in, I bet my life that before they even get here, Big Shot Lin Mo will have torn down that king statue first!"

"How is that even possible!"

Although Wang Dawei also held great reverence for Lin Mo, the common sense deep in his bones still told him this was too far-fetched.

"I know the class monitor is absurdly strong, but no matter how strong he is, he's still just one person! The gap in numbers is way too huge!"

Wang Dawei frowned tightly and analyzed seriously:

"As long as those second-years know a little teamwork, with attribute counters, the class monitor… won't have an easy time."

Speaking up to here, the more Wang Dawei thought about it, the more panicked he felt.

He looked toward Ye Kong and said anxiously:

"Ye Ge, this won't do!"

"I feel like the class monitor alone is going to run into trouble!"

"Two fists can't fight four hands, let alone thousands of hands! How about… we leave a few people to guard the base and split off a small squad to go help him?"

Hearing Wang Dawei's words, Han Mengqing rolled her eyes speechlessly:

"Big guy, I think you really don't understand that freak of a class monitor of yours… If he could be countered by attribute suppression, then he wouldn't be called Lin Mo."

At this moment, Ye Kong's brows furrowed slightly.

As the former number-one prodigy of the Capital Circle.

His pride told him that at a time like this, he should charge out and fight shoulder to shoulder with his comrade, not cower in the rear.

But after a moment, Ye Kong still slowly shook his head.

"No, we can't go."

"Why, Ye Ge?!"

Wang Dawei was getting anxious.

Ye Kong took a deep breath, his gaze turning incomparably resolute:

"Dawei, do you still remember what the class monitor said before he left? He said, stay put and guard the base well, don't let anyone follow."

"Military orders are as firm as a mountain. Since we've acknowledged his position as class monitor, we must obey his commands unconditionally."

Ye Kong patted Wang Dawei's shoulder and said in a deep voice:

"The fact that the class monitor dares to go alone proves he has absolute confidence."

"What we need to do is trust him, and then guard this base well, so he has no worries behind him."

Looking at Ye Kong's solemn expression.

Although Wang Dawei's heart was still all over the place, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Fine…"

Wang Dawei scratched his head. "Then we can only sit here and wait."

"Hopefully the class monitor… really can flatten the whole enemy side by himself, just like Han Mengqing said."
