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

After Yue Sheng left, the bandits continued to hunt monsters.

Although everyone hadn't slept for a day and a night and was extremely exhausted.

However, seeing a large amount of low-level resources being invested in the core, causing its experience to continuously increase, is quite remarkable.

Once its experience bar is full, use the core upgrade crystal obtained from defeating a wild boss to upgrade it.

The bandits became excited again.

"Yay! It's upgraded again!"

"Ten more binding slots have been added!"

"Shouldn't this give me a spot as a Slime Summoner?"

"Go play your history game!"

"Keep going! Keep going! Not enough! We have over four hundred brothers!"

"Tch! The upgrade doesn't provide much of a boost, what's all the excitement about?"

"This is a symbol of status, what do you, a piece of cannon fodder, know!"

"I'm pretty!"

When members of various families and guilds arrived at the three battlefields in the east, west, and north, they were met with dismay.

Aside from some supplies that hadn't been picked up yet, there were no monsters around.

The monsters throughout Yunshan City retreated southwards like the receding tide.

The citizens who were fighting the monsters in the alley were happy to see the monsters retreat, but they were also a little confused.

The world boss has been killed, but no new monsters will attack. Those already in siege mode will not retreat.

Why is Yunshan City different from other places this time?

The mayor, who had survived the ordeal, lay sprawled on his office chair, his flabby body spread out on it.

"I'm saved... I'm really saved..."

Wipe the cold sweat from my forehead.

The mayor pressed the call button on the table and contacted his secretary.

"Little cutie, send the Special Affairs Bureau, the Professionals Association, the Public Security Bureau, and the City Defense Army all to the front lines for rest and recuperation."

Those who survived will receive a participation bonus equivalent to their year-end bonus.

Those who perform exceptionally well will receive triple the participation bonus!

As for the remaining monsters and bosses, let the four major families and eight major guilds deal with them.

"Heh, but they need to remember to pay 30% of the goods as tax, and don't even think about passing off inferior goods. Leave some people to supervise them."

A soft, sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Dear Mayor, the first order can be completed, but the second one cannot."

"What? These people don't want to pay taxes? Trying to rebel!"

"No, for some reason, all the monsters in the city have retreated south. The bandits set up a powerful killing formation outside the south gate and wiped out all the monsters. Do you want the bandits to pay taxes?"

"What?! We suffered such a huge loss! And it all went to the bandits?!"

The mayor instinctively wanted to send someone to stop the bandits' operation.

However, he also watched the entire battle against the World Boss through a war correspondent's broadcast.

The bandits are now the saviors of Yunshan City.

Many citizens are now spontaneously heading to the South City Front to make a pilgrimage to the Savior.

It's not the right time for the authorities to take any action against the bandits.

Although troublemakers are insignificant, they have incurred public wrath, and it will be troublesome if they want to continue exploiting others.

"That's strange. Why is there a retreat component? I've never heard of this happening in other siege battles... Oh, and all the rewards I mentioned earlier are canceled."

The various factions quickly figured out the situation.

They didn't stand idly by; they organized a group of people to intercept some of the monsters.

They can stop ordinary monsters, but stopping boss-level monsters is not easy.

They could only watch helplessly as the most valuable BOSSes all ran into the bandits' killing formation.

"We're not satisfied! We paid a heavy price in this battle, many brothers died, and this is all the spoils we get?"

"The bandits took the lion's share!"

"What a bunch of bandits."

"Their rise is unstoppable."

"Rise? Rise what? The strongest bandits can instantly kill world bosses, do they need to rise? They're already the number one force in the city!"

"Even in second- or first-tier cities, this bandit's strength would be quite formidable."

The war correspondents remained, standing on the ruins of the city wall, filming the actions of the bandits outside the city.

The leaders of various factions, watching the bandits happily reaping their spoils on television, were furious, their beards puffed out and their eyes wide with rage.

But there was nothing we could do.

By this time, a large number of citizens had arrived at the Chengnan front.

They stood on the ruins, waving and screaming at the bandits.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a group of fans welcoming their idol off the plane.

More citizens are arriving.

Some people even brought banners, big red flowers, and cannons, making it a very grand affair.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I am currently located on the battlefield ruins in the south of the city."

Yes, I'm still alive!

Because my profession is life skills, S-rank, war correspondent, my survival rate on the battlefield is MAX!

As you can see, behind me, a large number of citizens have spontaneously come here to pay their respects to the bandits who are still fighting against monsters and bosses.

Ah! Those bandits, brave and wise, strong and charismatic, the citizens of Yunshan will forever be grateful to you!

The battle between the clones and the monsters has entered its final, concluding stage.

Many of the clones began to look around, noticing the crowd on the ruins in the distance.

"Wow, so many of our fans!"

"We're celebrities now!"

"It's a pity I can't show my handsome face."

"What's the point of showing our faces? We're all the same. It's better to wear a hood for better visibility."

"We're different~~ Everyone has a different headgear~~"

"Oh yeah! Hey! Look over here! I'm 30,000! A-rank profession, warrior, kingdom warrior! I'm pretty awesome~~"

"You're 30,000? Then what am I? I'm also wearing a 30,000-mask!"

"You're number 32,000! I'm number 31,000!"

"Why are you number one! I'm number one! My combat power is much higher!"

They started arguing again.

Da Congming touched his calloused face.

"I never thought that being disfigured would actually prevent me from looking like anyone else, hehehe... I'm Da Cong... no, I'm Bei... ouch!"

Several players nearby started fighting, trying to see who was the best, and the best player would become the "one of the tiles".

The innocent bystanders were caught in the crossfire, and the brilliant strategist was knocked to the ground.

The citizens who came to pay their respects to the hero looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What... they've started fighting?"

The World Boss Siege Battle has come to a complete end.

When all the monsters are defeated.

Valuable resources were all put into the backpacks of the clones, while resources of average value were put into the gathering core.

Song Gua swapped places with one of his clones and arrived outside the city.

At his command, all the bandits mounted Ghost Brother's giant monster summon and headed out of the city.

—At this point, Ghost Brother's summoned creatures have gone through several generations; they are not from the original batch, so they still exist.

Seeing the bandits heading into the countryside, the citizens were somewhat worried.
