“What’s the situation now?”
Although Nie Ping had already arranged for a state of alert, the cracked city wall told everyone that the Northern City had suffered a loss.
He had just hung up the phone in his office.
Because of the explosion, he quickly called back to understand the situation.
“One squad was hit by a direct attack and suffered casualties. The other troops quickly adjusted. The shield wasn’t activated in time, and the wall itself has cracked. If the bombardment’s intensity remains the same as before, the shield can only hold for another hour.”
The other end of the line gave a reply.
Fortunately, the troops of the Northern Border Defense City reacted quickly.
The magic essence shield appeared at the first moment, covering the entire city and preventing the vampire side from continuing to attack directly and threaten the buildings inside the city.
“Keep the shield up for another thirty minutes to give the civilians time to take shelter and the troops time to adjust. Turn on the vampire detection, understand the enemy’s intelligence and highest combat power, and at the same time, request reinforcements from the rear.”
Nie Ping passed down the order and hung up the phone.
The peaceful night of the Northern City was shattered by the sudden attack.
With the breathing room provided by the shield, the entire Northern City began to mobilize.
After being attacked, the troops of the Northern Border Defense City, who were in a state of alert, quickly reorganized their scattered teams.
They ordered them to go to their respective preset positions to prepare for the vampires’ offensive.
After the Vampire Queen signed the peace treaty, this was the first time the vampires had launched a large-scale war.
A portion of the vampires’ raiding forces had already appeared outside the city walls, a dense black mass, trying to exert psychological pressure on the troops inside the city.
The piercing sound of alarms rang out, alerting the citizens and soldiers still in the Northern City that the entire city was now entering a state of defense.
Therefore, the citizens orderly proceeded to the designated shelter locations.
“Lily, let’s go!”
“Okay, teacher!”
Upon learning of the attack on the Northern City, Bai Yun did not immediately turn back to find Nie Ping.
Instead, she took Lily, who was still by her side, and rushed towards the lodging arranged by the school.
At this time, the remaining students were all gathered at this hotel and had not been allowed to disperse.
When Bai Yun returned to the hotel, she saw all the students gathered at the front entrance.
If they hadn’t seen her appear, they might have started heading towards the direction of the attacked city wall.
“What are you doing! What are you all doing!”
Bai Yun, back at the hotel, berated them repeatedly.
Due to the teacher’s authority, the students immediately stopped in their tracks.
Looking at the returning Teacher Bai, they lowered their heads to each other and said nothing.
They had also heard the explosion and realized it was a vampire attack.
Thinking of themselves as superhumans, they wanted to go to the city wall to provide support.
In the end, it was Zhou Tianyang who stood up and explained, “Teacher Bai, the alarm means a vampire attack has occurred. We want to go to the city wall to help.”
After Zhou Tianyang stood up to explain, the students behind him instantly had a backbone and began to speak up in twos and threes.
“Teacher, we want to go kill vampires!”
“I want to avenge Eve!”
Various voices rose and fell among the students, hoping that Bai Yun would agree with their ideas.
“No!”
But Bai Yun didn’t even have to think about it and directly rejected the students’ idea of going to the battlefield.
Facing the students’ unwilling gazes, Bai Yun slowly explained, “First of all, you are still students. The school has entrusted me to lead the team, so you must listen to me!”
“Secondly, you are all really too naive! The soldiers of the army are at least Sequence Two or above. Although you can all reach this standard, have you received training? Do you know what teamwork is?”
“If you just rush over like this, you’re not going to help, you’re going to be a burden, making the army’s soldiers have to divert their attention to protect you students!”
Faced with this group of hot-headed students, Bai Yun gave them a stern scolding, determined to wake them up.
Bai Yun, who had retired from the front lines, knew that although the soldiers and students were both Sequence Two, in terms of overall quality, they were worlds apart.
Many gaps could not be bridged by hot-blooded enthusiasm alone.
Thinking of this, Bai Yun shook her head and continued, “Finally, what you need to do now is to immediately go to the shelter. Do you hear me!”
“Zhou Tianyang, as the class president, you are now responsible for taking them to the nearby shelter.”
She pointed at Zhou Tianyang, who had just voluntarily stood up, and then pointed at the bodyguards the students had hired themselves, “You are responsible for protecting the students’ safety.”
Entrusting the students’ safety to the bodyguards… at this moment, Zhou Tianyang heard the implication in Bai Yun’s words.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher Bai, what about you? Aren’t you coming with us?”
“No, I’m going to the city wall to help.”
Regarding Zhou Tianyang’s question, Bai Yun did not choose to hide her purpose.
Now that the high-sequence individuals had left the Northern City, leaving only one Sequence Six, then as the second-tier of the Northern City’s power, Bai Yun had no reason to avoid the battle and hide with the students.
“But teacher, didn’t you just say…”
Zhou Tianyang wanted to repeat what Bai Yun had just said.
“That was for you, who are below Sequence Three.”
As it turned out, before Zhou Tianyang could finish his sentence, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Bai Yun.
Just then, the protective shield in the sky was gradually receding.
The excited voices of the vampires outside the city soared to the sky.
They were driving the unintelligent magical beasts to probe the defenses.
A group of black figures appeared outside the city, approaching the city wall.
There were roughly two to three hundred of them, looking as if they had been brought from different places.
The magical beasts varied in size, some rabbit-shaped, some tiger-shaped.
If placed in a normal natural environment, it would have a strange feeling.
The defending soldiers raised their enchanted firearms and aimed at these black figures.
Although the enchanted bullets were enough to deal with the impact of these magical beasts…
With the continuous sound of gunfire, the magical beasts’ heads were instantly shattered, and blood splattered all over the ground outside the city.
After a round of volleys, the vampires had roughly determined the defenses of the Northern City.
Before the border city’s troops could breathe a sigh of relief, three figures appeared in the sky.
The aura they emitted made the soldiers on the city wall feel as if they couldn’t breathe.
‘Sequence Six!’
Bai Yun’s pupils shrank.
The moment the three black figures appeared, she had already made a judgment on the strength of the vampire side.
“What do the vampires mean by this? Are they going to war with us humans?”
Nie Ping appeared in mid-air.
With the appearance of his voice, the Northern City soldiers, who were being suppressed by the three Sequence Six vampires, instantly had some breathing room.
However, on the surface, the defensive forces of the Northern City were still at a disadvantage.
Even Nie Ping could not fight one against three.
At this time, the magic essence on Bai Yun’s body was ignited by herself.
Although using it twice a day would put a great burden on her body afterwards…
At this critical juncture, Bai Yun had no time to worry about the side effects.
She quickly rushed to the city wall in the battle zone.
By burning her magic essence, she gained the qualification to temporarily hold off one Sequence Six vampire.
