The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The Destruction Flame itself is of rare quality, which means that after being upgraded to the Forbidden Spell version, its power is enormous!

"boom!!!"

as predicted.

One after another, pillars of fire, seemingly originating from the depths of the earth, burst forth from the ground in all directions, centered on the Calamity Mage Nanfeng, and soared straight into the sky!

The commotion was enormous!

Even though the battle lines inside the city had retreated over a thousand meters, the loud bang could still be clearly heard, and the terrifying pillar of fire could still be seen.

Even if a forbidden spell is cast with level 20 attributes, it would be an absolute catastrophe for elite monsters in the vicinity with levels between 20 and 40.

One touch and you're dead!

"Holy crap! Wow! One of my skills and I'm exhausted! Hahaha! That was amazing! That was amazing!"

Nanfeng stood amidst the pillar of fire, laughing like a madman.

With a single skill, he cleared a scorched clearing of a 200-meter radius area amidst the horde of monsters that roamed the mountains.

The area around the deep pit was covered with glittering, fallen items.

A group of bandits swarmed in and quickly divided the spoils.

They picked them up while muttering curses.

"Holy crap! I almost got a fever!"

"Watch your step! The open world isn't a dungeon; your teammates can't get damage immunity!"

"It's so hot! The game experience is terrible, this is even worse than Huozi's skill combos!"

By the time Nanfeng realized what was happening, the surrounding ground was already clean.

"Leave me some! I haven't even finished all my jewelry yet, how can you do this to me! This is robbery! This is a robbery!"

The South Wind skill has a very long cooldown.

After a brief moment of brilliance, he could only grumble and turn to the back, riding a giant summon and throwing out some minor skills as a token gesture.

Inside the city walls, amidst the devastation, the surviving professionals, including Dao Youming and Zhao Yingxiong, were all astonished by the commotion caused by the bandits outside the city.

The battle between the bandits and their summoned creatures outside the city prevented a full round of monsters from entering.

They will either die or be intercepted.

The professionals in the city were thus greatly relieved of their pressure.

"The bandits have actually held off a horde of monsters!"

"Was that a forbidden spell? Are there third-level cultivators among the bandits?"

"They just used Walker's Heaven and Earth card, that makes sense. Didn't the bandits rob the wild BOSS Walker last time? Of course they have this card."

"Who's using that card? That card should only be level 30, yet it can fight against a level 60 Walker and even gain the upper hand. That means the user is also very strong!"

"Aren't bandits all newbies at level ten or so? Are there really some experts like this?"

More than being shocked by the bandits' strength.

Those on the front lines were even more shocked to learn that bandits had actually joined the war.

And he didn't just come to slack off or go through the motions; he really withstood a wave of pressure!

There were at least four hundred figures wearing hoods outside.

The bandits have very likely launched a full-scale attack!

At this moment, in everyone's mind, the image of the bandits became much more impressive.

They could have hidden in the wild and avoided being captured by the Special Bureau.

But when Yunshan City was in trouble, he returned without hesitation to help and fought to the death!

On the playground of Yunshan No. 5 Middle School.

Although the footage is blurry, the bandits' distinctive and bizarre attire makes them instantly recognizable, even in such a blurry picture.

I saw Walker being thrown through the air like a hammer.

Seeing that the bandits, despite their low level, could still use forbidden spells.

And there were thousands of imposing, terrifying, and majestic undead dinosaurs and giants.

The students were thrilled, and many even jumped up in excitement.

"Thai pants are hot!!"

"To live, be a hero; to die, be a bandit!"

"I heard the bandits aren't high-ranking; they must all be students. I want to be their girlfriend—oh, that would make me feel so safe!"

"Even though some experts from those major guilds use forbidden spells, why do I feel even more excited when I sense that the bandits have used forbidden spells?"

"With the bandits' help, maybe we can actually hold out until Captain Yue arrives to rescue us!"

The principal, who was already preparing to flee to a prestigious school for refuge, couldn't help but swallow hard after seeing this scene playing out on the big screen from afar.

"Are the bandits that powerful? Does that mean I don't need to run anymore?"

After thinking for a moment, the principal returned, picked up the microphone, and spoke passionately.

"Students! The bandits are here! There is justice in Yunshan City! The bandits are here! There is hope! Hope is something as precious as a diamond in our time!"

No one paid attention to the principal's repetitive remarks.

Everyone stared intently at the blurry image on the big screen, watching to see what the bandits would do next.

Yuwen Hao tugged at Song Gua's sleeve.

"Old Song, these bandits are heroes! They're generally only around level ten or so, yet they infiltrated enemy territory and fought off a world boss army head-on. What else could they be but heroes? Why is the government issuing warrants for their arrest?"

The stand-in, Song Gua, curled his lip.

Why do dogs like to eat poop?

"Dogs are born with a love for eating poop."

"Then why did you ask me?"

"You're saying bandits are shit?"

"..."

The southern defense line of the city.

The bandits' fighting outside the city halted one wave of attacks.

The professionals in the city were able to catch their breath.

Wang Miao, who had fallen into the ruins, slowly woke up, feeling excruciating pain all over his body. Looking at his condition, he found that his health was almost depleted.

He quickly took out a high-quality life-saving potion and drank it, then got up and walked towards the temporary medical station on the battlefield.

"Team leader!"

Ever since Wang Miao was knocked away by the world boss with a magic wand, his team members have been looking for him.

We've finally found him.

"Team leader, your tracking device was damaged. We haven't been able to find you. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. How's the battle going? Why is the monster density around here lower?"

"It's bandits! Bandits attacked from outside the city, went straight behind enemy lines, held off a wave of monsters, and even lured Walker away!"

"What? Bandits? Weren't they stealing the sacred stone in the city?"

The team member, nicknamed Xiao Chen, confidently stated, "Team leader, don't you understand? Someone is impersonating bandits to frame them!"

"yes……"

"We've been searching the city intensively for so many days, and we haven't seen a single bandit. How could they suddenly appear in the Temple of the Profession?"

Right now, the bandits fighting the monsters outside the city are the real bandits!

They've been hiding outside the city, that's why we can't find them!

As Xiao Chen spoke, her nose started to sting.

"It's hard to imagine how they managed to get to that level when they were only in the teens. They probably self-destructed quite a few times."

Too far away to view the information.

So nobody knows that most of these 400-plus bandits are actually 20+ years old.

Level 20 is not a low level.

Think about it, even the Director of Public Security is only at level 29.

Upgrading a profession requires a lifetime of effort; this isn't a game where you can instantly kill someone or reach the maximum level.

The experience bar gets longer and longer, and the experience fatigue period also gets longer and longer.

Only a minority of people are willing to persist in leveling up and challenge themselves to gain experience without being limited by experience fatigue in order to level up faster.

Wang Miao sighed.

"If this matter can be resolved, the policy towards the bandits will likely have to be changed again."

"Team leader, if we have the opportunity to capture these bandits outside the city, we..."

"We can't do it. It will anger the masses. The people here who were rescued by the bandits will devour us alive. We'll wait for orders from above."

Xiao Chen's face lit up with joy.

It's great that they're not arresting bandits!
