"Jasmine!" Zhou Huai called out again.

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Go to the City Lord's Mansion yourself and inform the City Guard Commander! Also, send someone to contact the major guilds in East Sea City!"

Zhou Huai's eyes hardened: "Have them sound the highest-level red alert! Mobilize all resources and evacuate the city's residents immediately!"

Qin Ming raised his head, his lips trembling: "My lord... do you mean that something will happen to Donghai City as well?"

Zhou Huai sighed.

"If that skeleton army were to break out, Donghai City would definitely not be able to hold out..."

"We can't worry about anything else now. We'll save as many people as we can! Let them evacuate inland! The farther the better!"

Jasmine sensed the seriousness in her master's tone.

This will be a formidable enemy that even the Lord will find difficult to deal with!

"Understood!"

Jasmine straightened her back and, despite her severely injured left arm, still gave a standard military salute.

Soon, the entire Eternal Night Guild was like a tightly wound, precise machine, fully operational.

Watching the guild members leave in a hurry, Zhou Huai felt more somber than ever before.

Zhou Huai slowly walked to the huge French windows and looked at the purple thunderclouds that had not yet completely dissipated above Donghai City.

"What if that army of undead really breaks out of the ruins..."

"This is undoubtedly another catastrophe for the Great Xia."

Compared to the human-led war in Japan, this enemy is far more terrifying.

That was the undead scourge, which felt no pain, was tireless, and could even regenerate and resurrect infinitely! Not to mention that behind those endless skeletons was the Skeleton King, who had effortlessly killed two S-rank clones with just a flick of his finger.

Once this high-dimensional monster, which transcends the existing system of rules, fully enters the real world, the steel defenses that Donghai City is so proud of will be as laughable as paper, and will be crushed into dust in an instant.

...

at the same time.

An elite force of the Eternal Night Guild, consisting of several high-ranking Shadow Panthers, charged wildly across the wilderness outside Eastsea City.

Leading the group was Qin Ming, who had just had his left arm wound simply bandaged.

He rode on the back of the largest shadow panther at the front, staring at the area on the horizon that was shrouded in thick fog year-round—the entrance to the Abyss of Mist.

There, the Great Xia military had already built a formidable military fortress to prevent the strange beasts within the ruins from rioting. The towering steel walls were adorned with countless magical cannons, their gleam gleaming, indicating extremely tight security. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Halt! This is the headquarters of the Great Xia military. Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching!"

When Qin Ming and his group rushed to the fortress gate with the help of a whirlwind, two rows of fully armed guards raised their magic-powered rifles, their dark muzzles pointing directly at them.

The leading guard officer shouted sternly, sizing up the group of murderous, blood-stained uninvited guests.

"I am Qin Ming, the vice president of the Eternal Night Guild!"

Qin Ming reined in the Shadow Leopard, which let out a deep growl. He pulled out his guild badge, a symbol of his identity, from his pocket and held it high. "I have urgent military intelligence and need to see your supreme commander!"

"Eternal Night Guild?"

The guard officer paused for a moment.

In the Great Xia Kingdom today, the name of the Eternal Night Guild is legendary! The ever-changing Star Lord, hailed online as the Great Xia War God, is the absolute controller behind this guild. Within the military, these four words are practically synonymous with hero.

The officer's attitude softened considerably. He carefully examined the patterns on the badge and then glanced at Qin Ming's somewhat familiar face.

"It's Vice President Qin! Please wait a moment, I'll inform him immediately!"

The officer dared not delay in the slightest and quickly reported a few words into the walkie-talkie.

In less than half a minute, the heavy steel gate slowly opened to both sides with a low grinding sound of gears.

"Vice President Qin, Commander Zhang is already waiting for you in the main tent. Please come in!"

Qin Ming dismounted from the leopard, not bothering with any pleasantries, and strode into the military camp with two trusted confidants.

The entire fortress was filled with a chilling atmosphere, with squads of soldiers patrolling methodically. But in Qin Ming's view, these conventional defensive arrangements were utterly meaningless in the face of the impending terror.

As soon as the heavy curtain of the main tent was lifted, a strong smell of tobacco wafted out.

In the center of the tent stood a burly, square-faced middle-aged officer, looking down at a topographical map on a sand table. The stars on his shoulders gleamed under the magical lights; he was none other than Commander Zhang, the highest-ranking officer of this garrison.

"Hahaha! Vice President Qin! I've heard so much about you!"

Seeing Qin Ming walk in, Commander Zhang put down his baton, laughed heartily, and warmly extended both hands, "I heard that back in Japan, the entire military was utterly impressed by the performance of your Eternal Night Guild!"

Commander Zhang gripped Qin Ming's hand tightly, his eyes filled with sincere respect. "The higher-ups have already given the green light; anyone from your Eternal Night Guild will have everything done right here in our military!"

Despite Commander Zhang's enthusiastic praise, Qin Ming had no intention of accepting the honor.

He grabbed Commander Zhang's arm with his other hand, and because he used too much force, the wound on his left arm that had just been bandaged burst open, and blood quickly stained the gauze, but he was completely unaware of it.

"Commander Zhang, let's talk about formalities later. I have a life-or-death urgent matter that I need you to carry out!" Qin Ming's eyes were bloodshot as he stared into the other man's eyes, his tone urgent.

Commander Zhang was taken aback by Qin Ming's reckless attitude. His smile faded, and his expression became extremely serious: "Brother Qin, don't get agitated. What exactly happened to your injury?"

"There's no time to explain!"

Qin Ming pointed towards the Misty Abyss outside the tent and roared, "Immediately! Take all your garrison troops, sound the highest-level evacuation alarm, and withdraw the entire army from this fortress! Forget about heavy weapons, as long as the people can get away!"

"What?"

Commander Zhang froze on the spot, thinking he was hallucinating. He subconsciously frowned. "Withdraw? Vice President Qin, do you know what you're talking about? We have an entire reinforced mechanized regiment here! Our highest order is to hold this place to the death and prevent the ancient beasts from breaking out! You want me to back down before the battle even begins?"

"The beasts inside are no ordinary creatures!"

Qin Ming was so anxious that veins bulged on his forehead, and spittle flew everywhere as he explained at lightning speed, "It's a massive, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° and virtually unkillable, ancient undead army! Leading the vanguard is an undead general of unfathomable strength! And behind that army is a Skeleton King who could instantly kill our guild's SS-level expert with just a flick of his finger!"

"They're already pressing towards the exit! Staying here is pointless except to send you to your deaths! Those cannons are as laughable to them as firewood!"
