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

Yunshan City.

Second-tier city.

After the Abyss Invasion expands to the entire region, the creatures to be deployed here will be Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Abyss creatures.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Yunshan City, which has only twenty or thirty third-tier professionals after searching the entire city.

After the announcement was made, a huge spatial vortex appeared in the misty area outside the city.

Unlike high-end cities.

The Abyss Invasion in lower-tier cities will not be deployed directly within the city limits, but rather outside the city.

This is naturally some kind of game balancing mechanism, to prevent small cities from suffering too many casualties.

Even so, small cities have too few top-tier combat forces, and their casualty rates are still much higher than in large cities.

However, after the three major families were forced to reform themselves under the tyranny of the bandits, Yunshan City is now very different from what it used to be.

In the early hours of the morning, numerous combat squads were already in position on the city walls of Yunshan City.

"Ascension Barrier—"

A massive, pale gold barrier rises from the outside of the city walls, connecting with each other to form a huge protective layer that encircles the entire city.

"Upgrade the defense tower—"

Inside the barrier and outside the city walls, defensive towers rise up one after another. They have different functions but can cooperate with each other to produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

"Formation activated—"

Around the defensive tower, various patterns appeared on the ground, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, representing different kinds of killing formations and trapping formations.

"All combat squads, check your inventory and prepare for battle!"

A series of rustling sounds.

"The first combat team on the eastern city wall has completed its inspection!"

"The second combat team on the eastern city wall has completed its inspection!"

"east……"

The defensive line quickly fell silent.

A deathly silence fell, broken only by the chirping of insects in the night.

Everyone waited anxiously for the abyssal creature to appear.

Dao Youming, the guild leader of the June Green Guild, was also on a section of the city wall, directing his own combat squads.

"Wife? What brings you here?"

Dao Youming saw his wife, Sun Wenxiang, the president of the Steel Heart Guild, also walk onto the city wall.

Sun Wenxiang was heavily pregnant, but her steps remained steady.

"Oh dear, you're eight months pregnant! What are you doing here? Go home and rest!"

Sun Wenxiang snorted coldly.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you want to die here and make me a single mother? I'm not doing that!"

"Isn't that better than the whole family dying in battle?"

"Can't you say something nicer?"

"What you just said wasn't very pleasant either..."

A loud laugh rang out.

The couple turned around and saw that it was Xu Ming, the head of the Xu family.

"You two are such a pair of enemies, still bickering even at this hour."

Another person walked over. He was older and had a full head of white hair. He was Ma Dongcheng, the president of the Tengxun Guild.

"When we fought Thorne last year, I could tell these two were going to get together. It's only been a little over a year, and Chairman Sun is already eight months pregnant, hahaha..."

Dao Youming scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"President Ma, please don't make fun of me."

Xu Ming looked at the huge whirlpools outside the city.

"Speaking of which, thanks to Chairman Ma's insightful vision, after the Abyss Invasion Announcement appeared, he immediately woke up our good-for-nothing mayor, made him sound the alarm for the whole city, and mobilized all the professionals and city defense forces to go to the edge of the city to defend it."

As expected, we failed to defend our crystal, and now the Abyss Invasion is about to be launched.

I wonder if Yunshan City can hold out this time.

The mayor of Yunshan City is a very fat man.

It was the early hours of the morning, when he was sound asleep, and it was really not easy to wake him up.

Ma Dongcheng waved his hand.

"It wasn't my doing, it was the bandits."

"Bandits?"

"The Abyss invasion came ahead of schedule without warning. I thought the crystals would be unable to hold out, and all cities would face the release of Abyss creatures."

So I want to go see the mayor and ask him to prepare in advance.

But he didn't want to see me at all.

Just as I was about to give up, I saw several bandits tear down his door and carry it away, laughing all the while. Only then was I able to go in and try to persuade him.

The group suddenly realized what was going on.

"So it was them."

"Speaking of which, it seems like bandits have been less active in our city lately. They weren't even there for several of the world bosses we fought last month."

"They are now in Jiangnan City, Xichuan City, and Glory City. Those places have better resources, so small cities like ours are naturally being ignored by them."

"Sigh, when there were many bandits, I was quite annoyed by their domineering behavior. Now that there are fewer bandits, I wish there were more of them. At least in the current situation, with bandits around, everyone feels much more at ease."

The whirlpool outside the city is stirring.

"Gah—"

The unique, eerie cry of the abyssal creature echoed through the air; the release had begun!

"Rumble..."

Unlike the wave-like releases in Glory City, the release of Abyssal Creatures in various cities is a one-time event.

They came in huge numbers, ranging from the lowest to the highest rank, like a dam bursting, crashing into the defensive lines of Yunshan City.

"Let's start the war!"

With a single command from the on-site commander, the defense against the Abyss invasion in Yunshan City began.

The battles were no different from those in the Third Guard City and the main city.

First, rely on the defensive facilities of the logistics system, then on the professionals, and finally, if all else fails, the only option is to turn into a chaotic battle within the city.

But this time, Yunshan City was well-prepared and everyone was fighting with their backs against the wall.

The situation regarding resistance is still very optimistic.

However, even with optimism, the defensive structures outside the city eventually succumbed to the onslaught of massive numbers of abyssal creatures and the ineffectiveness of firearms.

The defensive battle is about to enter its second phase—the entire professional combat squad will engage in close combat with the abyssal creatures.

They watched as the abyssal creatures surged toward the city walls like a flood.

The professionals in Yunshan City gripped their weapons tightly, looked at their teammates, family, and loved ones, and prepared themselves mentally for a fight to the death.

"For Yunshan City!!"

"For Yunshan City!!"

"kill!!!"

Sudden.

"Fire Fist: Super Power!!"

Above the East Gate, a ball of fire appeared, and a fist made of flames slammed into the army of abyssal creatures, burning a large number of them to death.

"Ultimate Move - Overturning Rivers and Seas -"

Above the west gate, a giant golden club smashed into the abyssal creatures, stirring them up and shredding a large pile.

"Ultimate Kill: Blood Bat Era"

Above the north gate, countless blood-red bats fell, draining a large number of abyssal creatures dry.

"Forbidden Spell: Fire Rain Meteor Shower, Forbidden Spell: Earth Shattering and Mountain Collapse, Forbidden Spell..."

Above the south gate, someone used ten forbidden spells in succession, directly wiping out the abyssal creatures in the surrounding area.

The professionals on the defensive line all looked up.

It was a familiar mahjong headgear and various Taoist robes.

"Bandits!"

"They're bandits!"

"The bandits are here!"

"Hahaha!! I knew they wouldn't abandon Yunshan City!"

"What a familiar scene. Yunshan City has been saved by bandits once again."

These cadres were not the only bandits who came to Yunshan City.

With a wave of his hand, Brother Huozi opened the city gates, and the bandits roared and rushed out.

"Guys, time to grind reputation!"
