City of Southwind, in the area a thousand miles outside the city, welcomed wave after wave of Other attacks over the next few days. Countless strange and unnerving creatures rushed the defensive line like an endless tide, attempting to break through and sneak into the city to cause even more chaos and death. On the City of Southwind's side were the combined forces of the royal court, Astral Sage College, House Duze, House Luolan and some other powers. They did their best to prevent the Other's incursion from penetrating through their defenses. Merciless and brutal battles erupted all over the area.0

Sounds of slaughter and roars intermingled like a symphony, representing heroism and death.0

A depressing atmosphere shrouded the place.0

Although the Other Disaster was far inferior compared to the ones experienced by the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li and Qin in terms of scale and level, the feeling of despair amongst the human defenders was much greater. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had been trapped in a stalemate due to the strong foundation of the lineage. Even if the Stygian Rain Other Disaster was exacerbated, no one even fathomed the possibility of the entire bloodline being forced into extinction. At most it would be dragged into a never ending quagmire, constantly consuming resources and lives. For the Xia Kingdom on the contrary... Once the City of Southwind fell, then that would spell the end of the Xia Kingdom.  At that point in time, there would be no more forces that could be marshalled to resist the Other Disaster. The territory of the Xia Kingdom would turn into an Other's nest where all living creatures would meet their end in the most horrifying of ways.3

Thus there was no path for retreat.0

They had to muster up every last ounce of strength.0

A day of fighting dragged on and it gradually came to an end with the booming of drums. Outside the City of Southwind, countless injured squads retreated like a receding tide into the areas the city had prepared for recovery and recuperation. Cai Wei, Yan Lingqing, Bai Mengmeng brought the specially selected medical personnel from House Luolan to treat the critically injured. The area was filled with cries of pain and suffering.0

This tragic scene caused the soft hearted Bai Mengmeng's eyes to well up as they turned red. Cai Wei's expression was also heavy. Just by looking at the overall casualty situation, she could tell that the Other's attack had been far more ferocious than before.0

"Elder sister!" Bai Mengmeng...0
