"General, demons have appeared outside the city. Are you sure we're not sending men to the Outer City?"
An officer of the City Defense Army, clad in armor and carrying a blade, stood on the wall of the Inner City. He gazed toward the Outer City's ramparts and asked in a low voice.
"There's no need."
The general was Xie Zuowen, General of the Wuling City Defense Army.
Not counting the Taiping Bureau, his power in Wuling City was second only to the City Lord himself.
In the Inner City, the Xie Family's influence was second only to the Luo Family.
"The Outer City was designed from the very beginning to one day serve as a buffer against a demon uprising," Xie Zuowen said, his face expressionless.
A demon uprising, especially when it escalated into a Demon Tide, was a terrifying event.
Countless cities had been annihilated by Demon Tides throughout history.
From the moment it was designed, Wuling City's Outer City was meant to be sacrificed.
