"Let's not mention the Secret Realm for now, the ferocious beasts are constantly gathering in the distance, and I fear they are about to strike the cities of Da Chuan Province."
"We, the teachers and students of Sichuan Province Martial University, enjoy various resources on regular days. Now that the city is in trouble, the people are in trouble, how can we allow the soldiers defending the city to fight alone while we enjoy our peace and comfort far from the front lines?"
"All faculty and students, whether new or old, regardless of your circumstances, head to the front lines immediately to help defend the city walls with the military and fend off the beast tide."
"Do you understand?" Yang Cang's voice suddenly rose, booming like a tiger's roar.
"Understood!" Other instructors, student council members, and all students responded, the atmosphere charged with determination."
Yang Cang's expression softened slightly, and he said in a gentle voice:
"Our kids from Sichuan Martial are brave and capable of fighting!"
"Fear of death is human nature."
"But hot blood is also the underlying color of youth."
"If the city falls, where will the home be?"
"You are all good kids, I hope you all come back safe."
"Off you go."
"Yes," the entire school responded in unison, their voices thundering, brimming with vigor.
Especially the freshmen who had just enrolled, originally timid at the news of the ferocious beasts' invasion, but under the spell of this atmosphere, even their blood seemed to boil.
At the same moment, everyone's phones received messages; the United Front Work Department of the school had allocated and deployed students based on their combat strength, with the student council members providing centralized coordination and guidance.
Large numbers of student martial artists were heading to the capital's city walls to assist in defense.
A few elite martial artists were allocated to leave the capital and rush to assist other smaller cities before the ferocious beasts attacked.
"Big brother, I'm assigned to defend the capital; you must be too, right?" Little Fatty looked up after reading the message and asked.
Luo Yu shook his head.
"I have to leave immediately to help out in Jiang City."
"Jiang City? That's got to be a hundred and fifty kilometers away." Little Fatty expressed his surprise, "Why are they particularly assigning you elsewhere? Is the student council targeting you? Sending you to a dangerous small city?"
"Little Fatty, if you can't speak well, just talk a bit more."
A crisp female voice came from the side; Little Fatty inexplicably felt a chill and saw the student council president Bai Xiao'e approaching.
"Xue Can might be narrow-minded, but the student council is not that petty."
Little Fatty immediately stepped back, slightly embarrassed, considering he had been speaking ill of others behind their backs.
Bai Xiao'e turned to Luo Yu:
"Hey, we meet again."
"But things are urgent; I'll keep it short."
"Big cities attract a larger number of ferocious beasts, so most of our forces are staying in the capital. However, the smaller cities face tremendous pressure too, so those assigned there are seniors and elite students from the third and fourth year, as seniority implies strength."
"Freshmen are not supposed to be dispatched, but given your abilities, I think..."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"No need for further words."
"Wherever the pressure to defend the city is greatest, that's where you should assign me."
Bai Xiao'e's delicate features tensed slightly; she hadn't expected a mere freshman like Luo Yu to have such resolve. She thought she would need to persuade him more.
But here he was, saying to send him wherever the danger was greatest.
If it had been an appropriate time, she would have really liked to ask him: "Aren't you afraid of dying? This isn't a joke, the ferocious beasts' invasion can cause many deaths."
"The defense in Jiang City is still decent; they have a First Grade City Lord in charge."
"Then find me another one."
"Are you sure?" Bai Xiao'e wasn't being sly; she really felt that Xia Luo was very strong, and he might just be Divine Child Luo Yu in disguise. Such combat potential, if deployed well, could undoubtedly save many lives.
"No more talk." When people's lives were at stake, Luo Yu was not inclined to waste words.
"Then it's Guangyuan City. I've already sent a senior who Just Reached Third Grade to support them, but their City Lord is only Second Rank. It will be very dangerous if the ferocious beasts attack." Bai Xiao'e candidly informed him.
"Fine."
Luo Yu instantly agreed.
Little Fatty Cheng Jinjin watched with his mouth agape, shocked.
While others sought fortune and avoided misfortune, and his father had taught him that the whole point of life was to survive well and live comfortably and long, here was his boss, who did exactly the opposite, charging towards danger without a moment's hesitation.
Did his boss not cherish his life?
At that moment, Little Fatty felt something stir within him, a strange emotion rising.
Bai Xiao'e looked deeply into Luo Yu's eyes, something indescribable flickering across her gaze, perhaps it was admiration.
"Return safely."
She said softly, then turned to leave, but a struggled voice called out to her.
"I'll go with big brother as well."
Cheng Jinjin decided through clenched teeth.
"You?" Bai Xiao'e glanced at Cheng Jinjin, said nothing, but her message was clear.
Cheng Jinjin's face became somewhat flushed.
"I, I can be of use too..."
Luo Yu turned to the slightly surprised Little Fatty: "You're going too?"
"Yeah, wherever big brother goes, I'll go." Cheng Jinjin said, "I won't hold you back; you won't have to worry about me when we get there."
"Alright." Luo Yu looked at Bai Xiao'e: "It's okay if he comes with me, right?"
Bai Xiao'e turned and walked away, not wasting any time, and gestured an 'OK' with her hand.
The gates of Sichuan Martial University were flung open; battle jets soared out, mountain combat vehicles carried students out of the campus, some to the foot of the capital's city walls, ready for battle support, while elite martial artists left the capital to support smaller cities in Sichuan Province.
And the city's ordinary citizens, whether corporate CEOs or small-time vendors, all took to the streets, standing on the sides of the roads, seeing the martial artists off.
