"So, he is not participating in the assessment. I have been waiting here for ten days in vain."
"That's right. Why read books if he is not participating in the assessment? He might as well go home and take a nap."
When the cadets saw Du Feng leaving, they finally believed that he was really not participating in the 6-Star Array Master assessment. Since he was not participating in the assessment, why was he reading books in the library for ten days in a row? Normally, after participating in the previous round of assessment, they would go home and rest for a period of time. It was very tiring to participate in the assessment. It was already very lucky to pass. Some cadets were careless, and it was common to have casualties.
Oh no! After teleporting back to Shiyuan City from the Starlight Pagoda, Du Feng immediately realized that the situation was not good. He rushed to the city wall immediately. At this moment, the front row of demonic beasts was only a hundred meters away from the city wall. A hundred meters sounded like a lot, but it was actually pitiful.
Because this batch of demonic beasts was huge, be it the tusks of the wild boar or the nose of the elephant demon, they were all very long. Especially the Yellow River Elephant, it could already attack the wandering martial artists at the base of the city wall from a distance of a hundred meters.
"Where is Xie Haikun?"
If Du Feng wanted to replace another captain, he had to get Xie Haikun's approval. However, he couldn't find him at this time. Even if he used the voice transmission talisman to call, there was no response.
"He was transferred to the inner city and can't come out."
Captain Lu, who previously replaced Du Feng to operate the True Essence Cannon, looked very aggrieved. If he wasn't here to replace, he wouldn't have to be so close to the demonic beasts. Even if he couldn't enter the inner city, he would be safer hiding in the back.
What the hell is this? Du Feng was so angry when he heard this. Just how precious were the people in the inner city? They even transferred the only Void Sea Realm martial artist outside into the inner city. The Void Sea Realm martial artists were all living in the inner city. Only Xie Haikun was still busy commanding the battle outside. Now, even he was transferred to the inner city. The City Lord Residence was giving up on the outer city.
The beast tide this time was indeed a bit strange. The attack speed was fast, the scale was large, and the demonic beasts that came were of a very high level. No one knew who was commanding them from the back, but their attacks were actually so orderly. Based on the current situation, they would be able to attack the city walls in an hour at most.
At that time, their survival would depend on the sturdiness of the city walls. The city guards had no way of fighting the massive demonic beasts at close range. The City Defense Crossbows could not shoot at his feet, and the True Essence Cannons could not be fired at close range. At such a close distance, the first thing that would be destroyed would be the city wall.
"Let all of them wait for me in front of the Lanting Pavilion."
Du Feng picked up the voice transmission talisman and contacted Liu Fu. He told him to bring Liu Yang, Su Jie, Su Mei, the Feng family, and Xiao Qianqian to wait for him at the entrance of Lanting Pavilion. Because the rooms there had been rented out, no one was allowed to enter without a room card.
"Give them to me!"
Without waiting for the City Lord's Mansion's order, Du Feng took the True Essence Cannon and continuously bombarded the beast horde.
"Boom boom boom!"
Due to the high frequency of the attacks, even the city walls were shaken to the point of falling to the ground. But the wandering warriors hiding at the base of the city walls did not have a single word of complaint. They danced with joy, rejoicing that their capricious, prodigal captain had finally returned.
Du Feng did not dare to bombard the demonic beasts within a hundred meters, because that would accidentally hurt the wandering warriors and destroy the terrain near the city walls. He killed the demonic beasts from the front and the back two rows away.
"City Defense Crossbows, fire!"
The City Defense Guards reacted quickly. Thick crossbows whizzed out and blocked the demonic beasts in the front row.
Du Feng was really going all out. He directly placed a large number of blue crystals on the watchtower. Piling them up like that, he was not afraid that they would be stolen. One hand was in charge of filling the cannon with True Essence, and the other hand was in charge of activating the Ice Purity Spell to cool down the cannon barrel. As for the task of filling up the blue crystals, it was handed over to Captain Lu.
This was not firing the cannon, it was simply burning money. Captain Lu thought about this problem as he stuffed the blue crystals into the cannon barrel. If he had so much money, he would have teleported away long ago. He would have hidden far away. Why would he take the risk in Stony Plain City? Besides, Du Feng was only a temporary captain. There was no problem of him leaving his post without permission.
"Everyone is here!"
Old Master Liu Fu was quite capable. He had already closed the Premium House and collected all the money and elixirs. At the same time, he went to the Du Residence and brought everyone to the front door of Lanting Pavilion.
"I'm coming."
Du Feng activated the True Essence Cannon and launched another round of bombardment. After clearing all the demonic beasts within two miles, he used the Soaring Skill and flew directly to Lanting Pavilion. At this time, he did not care about the flying ban in Stony Plain City anymore.
"Follow me!"
He brought everyone upstairs and entered the Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix Room. Fortunately, the room they had rented was big enough. Otherwise, it would not have been able to accommodate so many people. If they had not renewed the rent early, they would not have been able to rent such a room even if they paid 100 blue crystals a day.
Du Feng knew why he brought everyone to Lanting Pavilion. The city wall would collapse sooner or later. All the residents in the outer city, including the high-class mansions like the Du Residence, would not be spared. The safest place in the outer city would be Jiuqiao Pavilion and Lanting Pavilion. Comparatively speaking, Lanting Pavilion was more reliable.
The Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix Room was an independent small world. Even if the building really collapsed, the demonic beasts would not be able to rush in.
"Rumble …"
As Du Feng had guessed correctly, the entire tower of Jiuqiao Pavilion rose from the ground with a roar. Like a large flying boat, it flew away just like that. The Situ Family would not allow their property to be damaged, let alone Situ Weiwei's life. Jiuqiao Pavilion did not fly to the inner city. Instead, it shot up into the sky and flew away from Stony Plain City.
The residents in the outer city panicked when they saw Jiuqiao Pavilion flying away. They knew the background of Jiuqiao Pavilion and the power of the Situ family. Now that even the Situ family had left, did it mean that Stony Plain City was about to fall?
"No matter what happens, don't go out."
Du Feng reminded them, left the room, and returned to the watchtower. He had only left for a short while, but the demonic beasts attacked again. Some wandering warriors had already been hit by the Yellow River Elephant's trunk. That thick nose could easily turn a person into minced meat with a gentle sweep of the nose.
"Go to hell!"
