Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death.

Chapter 79 Establishing a Safe Shelter!

City defenses are like dikes; if one place breaches, no matter how well the other areas are defended, it's useless!

The people of Xiaozhai Village in Xuefeng Mountain are facing this very choice.

守？

Or should we not defend?

Everyone's eyes instinctively turned to the youngest person present.

Xu Fang asked in a deep voice, "How far is the nearest border town from here?"

"About fifteen kilometers!" Wan Duanfeng quickly replied.

"Alright, everyone prepare to retreat!" Xu Fang nodded and said without hesitation, "Logistics personnel, drive! Wind elementalists, group one, scout ahead! Group two, use bombs to clear the way! Group three, clear out pursuing enemies! Earth and ice elemental mages, slow down the enemy's advance!"

A young military strategist couldn't help but ask, "We could clearly hold out..."

"Bombs are limited, and so is magical energy! The wolf clan has already entered the city; staying here will only result in us being surrounded and annihilated!"

This is not military strategy, but the hunting instinct of a living being.

Even Xu Fang himself wasn't 100% confident that he could break through the beast tide, let alone anyone else!

"Retreat to Anjie, clear out the demons from the surrounding three blocks, and establish a safe quarantine zone!"

"Have all nearby residents evacuate to the quarantine zone!"

"One day, at most one day! The military reinforcements will arrive soon. Until then, the safety of the people rests entirely on our shoulders!"

Xu brandished his sword: "On my command, everyone evacuate!"

Under his direction, the operation on site was tense yet orderly.

Mo Jiaxing and his old buddies were assigned to drive; they had been protected at the very back during the battle.

Now, the time has come when they are needed!

"Guys, we'll never see anything like this in our lives. When we're old, we can brag about it to our grandchildren!"

Mo Jiaxing got into the driver's seat and started his pickup truck. Through the thick rain, he sped off with the military mages in tow.

Burn, my menopause!

Xu Fang stood atop the Pikachu, his body firmly secured to it by his magical artifacts, holding the jet-black Star in his hand.

Any demon with a large head that was fast enough to catch him would be shot by Xu Fang.

With the added firepower suppression from the three wind-element groups, the pursuers were completely pinned down and unable to raise their heads.

Meanwhile, one of the military mages leading the way, who was connected to the star trail, was ambushed and killed by a giant-eyed blood rat.

The crowd was filled with outrage.

They were already mentally prepared to die from the bite of the one-eyed wolf.

But you, you damned rat, you beast who lives a life of ignominy in the gutter, actually dared to launch a sneak attack, causing your comrades to sacrifice themselves in such a humiliating way!?

Go to hell!

In an instant, more than a dozen spells of all kinds slammed into the giant-eyed rat's head.

This giant-eyed, bloody rat never understood until its death: "I just killed a human, why did they have to scatter my ashes?"

Fifteen kilometers isn't a long distance; even including mountain roads, it should only take forty or fifty minutes.

But it took the convoy from Xiaozhai Village in Xuefeng Mountain a full two hours to arrive, covered in blood and grime!

Anjie is a square, the largest in the entire Bocheng. Just a few days ago, it was filled with middle-aged women dancing in the square, young people skateboarding, parents pushing strollers, and young couples preparing for their lawn wedding the next day.

Now, they've all disappeared.

Only a few ordinary people, upon hearing the voice, looked over in fear, only to be overjoyed to find it was a human mage!

"It's the military mages! The military mages have come to protect us!"

"Waaaaah, we finally survived!"

"You damn well better move over to the side and make room for the military magistrate to park!"

No communication is needed; the military uniforms worn by the crowd are the best pass and the source of the unconditional trust of ordinary people.

"Attention all personnel! Disperse and clear out the roaming demons!"

"Those whose mana is depleted, don't push yourselves. Retreat to the innermost area and meditate to recover! The rest of you, hold the line on the outside!"

"Someone who knows the way, please take me to the radio station!"

As soon as Xu Fang finished speaking, a young man volunteered, "Comrade, come with me!"

Seeing that he was running slowly, Xu Fang activated the magic tool and carried him at breakneck speed.

The biting wind blowing in their faces distorted the young man's cheeks, but he endured it and led Xu Fang to their destination.

Very good, none of the broadcasting station's equipment was damaged.

"Turn to maximum power and start recording."

Xu Fang shouted into the microphone, "This is the Military Mage Regiment! We have set up a safe haven in the First Square of Bo City and are currently clearing out demons. Residents in the vicinity are requested to take refuge there in half an hour!"

Recording complete, play back in a loop.

Xu Fang said to the young man, "Turn around and close your eyes."

"Huh?" The young man was taken aback, but still obediently did as he was told.

The next second, the intense light stung his eyes, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

A radiant light was thrown into the sky by Xu Fang.

For the people in nearby residential buildings who were waiting to die in despair, seeing this beam of light was like seeing a lighthouse leading home for sailors lost at sea.

"Did you hear that? It's a safe haven! Let's go!"

"But there are demons outside..."

"It's better than staying home and waiting to die. Besides, didn't you hear? They said they're clearing out the demons!"

People are increasingly convinced that while their security doors can keep out thieves, they can't keep out terrifying demons.

These beasts will tear open their pitiful defenses as easily as opening a can, enjoy their miserable death throes, and then swallow them whole!

······

The military mages formed small teams and swept through the streets one by one. Each time they returned, they brought with them a large group of survivors.

The survivors sat together on the playground, without water or food, but nobody cared.

The crimson eyes of the one-eyed wolf in the darkness are still etched in their minds.

The only people they could rely on were military mages.

Xu Fang's situation wasn't good either; the military mages' magical energy was almost depleted, and they only had about twenty bombs left.

He was prepared to launch another major attack if things went wrong.

If he were truly driven to the brink, he still had his last trump card: the purple bead... However, once this trump card was revealed, whether it would unleash an angel or a devil, Xu Fang had no idea.

"Look over there, people are coming!" Wan Duanfeng shouted, pointing in one direction.

Xu Fang looked over and saw a large group of mages rushing in this direction.

"It's the Mu family!"

The one in the lead was Mu Zhuoyun. At this moment, he no longer had the demeanor of a great man. His hair was disheveled and he looked extremely embarrassed.

A large group of people followed behind him, all of whom were members of the Mu family. Xu Fang glanced at them and, sure enough, neither Mu He nor Yu Ang were among them.

"Xu Fang!? What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Xu Fang, Mu Zhuoyun was visibly stunned.

"Since you're here, then help us with the defenses. You guys go..." Xu Fang hadn't finished speaking when one of the Mu family members shouted, "Who do you think you are? Why should we listen to you?"

It was that energetic young man, Mu Chuan, still wearing that dragon-patterned shirt, only the pattern had been torn into strips, and the dragon had turned into a burrowing earthworm.

Seeing that it was safe, Mu Chuan felt confident and eager to show off: "If you ask me, we should all listen to Patriarch Zhuo Yun..."

boom!

Xu Fang suddenly unleashed a punch, turning a one-eyed demon wolf chasing after the Mu family members into a bloody pulp.

"What did you just say?" Xu Fang glanced at Mu Chuan.

Mu Chuan's mouth gaped open, but he swallowed the rest of his sentence. Glancing at him by Xu Fang, he instinctively flinched, 'No, no.'
