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

The guard city is 40 to 50 kilometers away from the main city, sandwiched between the gap between the fourth and fifth rings.

Now, the four gaps in front are being swarmed with abyssal creatures, covering the sky and the mountains, running wildly.

At this moment, the main city is like a lone boat adrift on a vast ocean, enduring the crashing waves from all directions.

The first wave of Abyss invasion can be fought with just three thousand bandits.

Now, the bandits' strength has also weakened. Only by uniting the entire city, coordinating efforts from within and without, and employing appropriate strategies and tactics can we repel the enemy.

As Ghost Brother's army of summoned creatures grew, it was also constantly being depleted.

There were too many enemies, and the speed at which he could transform his summoned creatures couldn't keep up with the speed at which they died.

However, as the rank of the abyssal creatures increases, the summoned creatures that Ghost Brother transforms are becoming stronger and stronger, and their killing efficiency is much higher.

At this moment, on the city wall of the Third Guard City.

Shi Qi, Shi Ji, and the others are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the fifth wave of invasion.

Once the fifth wave begins, it means that the guarded city will also be attacked.

"Everything has been checked and found to be correct. No one has embezzled the energy crystals, right?"

Shi Qi solemnly questioned the garrison leadership within the city.

Everyone patted their chests and guaranteed that they hadn't had time to embezzle the recent batch of energy crystals.

It had only been about ten days since the bandits, under the guise of garrison rights, challenged the rules and entered the city to massacre the family members of the deceased.

All the city's resources were taken away by bandits.

The Shi family still retains the right to garrison troops, and the authorities have requested that they replenish their resources.

We can't let the city of guards be just an empty shell.

These resources actually arrived only a few days ago.

Indeed, there was no time to embezzle it, and it hadn't even been used yet, so it was plentiful.

"Alright, I reckon the fifth wave is about to begin. When that happens, let's all unite and hold the barrier up so we're all safe!"

Just as Shi Qi was inspiring people, Shi Ji inadvertently noticed that there seemed to be a figure lurking somewhere outside the city.

He walked to the telescope on the city wall and took a closer look.

"It's a bandit! There's a bandit in the woods about a kilometer outside the city!"

A sudden jolt went through my mind.

"The bandits are here again? Where?"

He rushed to the binoculars and took a look.

"There seems to be only one? He seems to be... doing a gathering mission?"

Gathering tasks are a type of city-building task. Gathering herbs, wood, and stones within the territory of Glory City and delivering them to the city defense NPCs can strengthen the protective formations placed in the main city.

"It's this late, and you're still doing the daily quests?"

"The bandits are definitely not normal."

"No, I suspect this bandit deliberately appeared nearby, pretending to be on a gathering mission, but actually spying on us!"

"That makes sense..."

After confirming several times that the bandit on the collection mission was alone, Shi Qi made a decisive decision.

"Kill him!"

Shi Ji was taken aback.

"what?"

"Whether they're here to spy on us or are simply out of their minds on a mission, who are these bandits? They're the Shi family's greatest enemies!"

"Third Brother, the family just said that the Dao of Sitting in Oblivion is our greatest enemy."

"Shut up! In Glory City, bandits are our greatest enemies! Look at the blood of our people on the city walls behind you, has it dried yet?!"

Shiji looked back.

"Done."

Shi Qi pursed his lips; he was about to cry from Shi Ji's stupidity.

"In short, send a third-tier assassin to take him down!"

"Why don't we capture them alive? Maybe we can use them."

"You're overthinking it. If you can capture the bandits alive, even the Special Affairs Bureau will have to call you 'Dad'."

A small door in the Third Guard City was secretly opened.

A third-tier professional sneaked out and headed towards the bandits in the woods outside the city.

The four people currently gathering supplies in the woods were the ones who had gotten lost and came to gather supplies needed for a city defense mission.

"♫The little bandit picking mushrooms~"

♫ Carrying a big backpack~

Wearing a mahjong-themed hairstyle early in the morning, I wandered all over Glory City.

She collected the most supplies—so many that they were countless!

♫The supplies she collected were the biggest~ as big as that…

What does it look like?

Oh!

♫Like the Monkey King's golden cudgel~~

♫Old thief thief thief thief thief thief li old thief li thief~ old thief ...

Four head coverings, a pink Taoist robe, and the smell of perfume.

Four herbs were gathered in the forest for the mission.

As they walked, they glanced up and realized that the Third Guard City was ahead.

"Oh dear, how did we end up here? The geigeis said not to go near this place, it's full of Shi family bastards."

The four cars turned around on the spot.

Unexpectedly, a professional dressed in black, with a mask on, and a level of 64, was already standing behind him.

"Isn't it strange that you're wearing night clothes in broad daylight?"

The other party sneered.

"This is my equipment, what do you know! Prepare to die!"

The man in black clothes suddenly attacked.

His assassin class is characterized by extremely high burst damage, but his class skills do not include stealth or backstab abilities.

This is a type of assassin who attacks head-on, relying on a combo to either take down the opponent or be taken down by the opponent.

That's why he appeared directly behind Shijo, without setting up an ambush or launching a sneak attack, because there was no need for it.

With four first-level treatment sequences, how could they possibly resist?

He immediately crouched down, covering his head.

"It's over! I'm going to die! I'm going to explode! See you in the next life, my geigeis!!"

This moment.

Song Gua has already exchanged positions and arrived at the base camp.

Heading towards Huiye City, he is replacing Song Gua's clone in the group of one hundred.

Ghost Brother, Magnet Brother, Monkey Brother, and other bandits are fighting around the main city.

Everyone noticed the four voices that were shouted in the local area network.

"Four are in danger!"

"Our cat guru!"

"My first mate in the Second Army!"

"I'm the main force in the healing sequence!"

Without saying a word, Song Gua stopped the four self-destructing attacks and immediately switched positions.

Song Gua was feeling a little uneasy at this moment, wondering if he would make it in time.

His position switch can be completed in an instant.

However, the four reactions—speaking, hearing, and reacting—all take time.

The opponent was a third-level master, whose attacks were instantaneous, and whose life and death were calculated in seconds.

The jet-black dagger, wreathed in spiraling energy, stabbed towards the head of the four.

As soon as the assassin made his move, the forest behind him exploded inch by inch.

This shows how high the damage would be if this move hit.

When facing bandits, the opponent naturally aims for a fatal blow, so fast that the bandits cannot self-destruct.

Of course, he also has ways to deal with self-destruction.

"We made it!"

The Song hexagram successfully exchanged positions. Although the opponent's attack was very close, all four of them had already been swapped.

Just as Song Gua was about to counterattack, a rain of purple light poured down, engulfing the assassin and his attack, and immobilizing him in place.

"ah!!!"

Zi Yuan's voice came from above.

"Hahaha! I'll eat a mouthful of phlegm from Grandpa Dragon!! Hei~tui!"

At the same time, a golden spear descended from the sky.

"Ah!! Captain Yue, spare me!!"

Yue Sheng ignored him completely. His spear pierced through the assassin's head and emerged from behind his buttocks, killing him instantly!

Yue Sheng landed in front of the four, and with a wave of his hand, the golden spear automatically flew back into his hand.

"Are you alright?"

Looking at Yue Sheng's retreating figure, Song Gua roughly confirmed something in his mind.
