Things like what happened to Morey were happening everywhere on this continent. Morey's team was unlucky. Only Morey escaped and was teleported to Green Forest City, but the villagers were lucky because many of them were saved. Many unprepared villages were destroyed.
However, there was a silver lining in this unfortunate situation. In order to guard against attacks from the divine city, many people in the villages temporarily moved to nearby large cities with shields. Most people were protected by the cities during this catastrophe.
Although tree people and monsters in the wild are roaming around like the tide, these big cities have become relatively safe places. They are like islands in the ocean and lighthouses in the darkness, protecting a little bit of the light of civilization.
In an alley in Hewan New City.
Ji Yijun's fiery fighting spirit attached to the sword, and the sword light drew several streaks in the air, slicing several half-meter-tall mutant rat monsters in front of him into pieces. The magician who was responsible for restraining these monsters adjusted his glasses and nodded to Ji Yijun: "If there is nothing else, I will go back to work at the research institute."
"Of course. Thank you for your enthusiastic help in urban safety work. I will give you a big certificate later." Ji Yijun said.
The researcher smiled and said, "Director Ji, forget about the certificate, it would be nice if you could give me some bonus."
"Okay, okay. After all, you stopped these guys from destroying the warehouse in front."
The green light had already passed for half a day. Hewan New City had never lowered its shield, and after receiving Luo Ling's notification, it immediately entered an emergency state. The guards were fully armed and went up the wall for defense.
As the police chief, Ji Yijun was responsible for organizing the left and right police forces and militia to patrol the city.
Although the city shield can block most of the green light, there will always be some scattered light falling down, causing a few creatures to mutate. However, Hewan New City is different from any other city. There are too many people who can use magic and martial arts here.
As Ji Yijun inspected the area, he saw some monsters being locked in stone pillars by construction workers using shaping magic, some being blown up by students as practice targets, some being easily strangled by retired soldiers, and some being split in half by a middle-aged woman buying vegetables using fighting spirit. These sporadic monsters did cause casualties, but they were quickly suppressed by passersby, and the injured were treated with healing magic.
Ji Yijun felt a great sense of pride as he watched the whole process. Only they could create such a city on the continent, where everyone with potential could become a magician or a warrior. This extraordinary power became a universal power, and every ordinary person could use it to produce or protect themselves.
Only the most powerful monsters would need him to take action, but the residents in the city who called the police had usually already controlled the situation. Ji Yijun had killed a tree man and two mutant dog monsters along the way. These monsters were indeed not a big threat to a high-level warrior like him.
Enrique, who followed behind him and cursed, said, "The god of nature is a bastard. He is worse than the devil in the story."
"We will drag that guy down from the altar one day." Ji Yijun put the sword back into the scabbard and ran towards the next place in the city that was emitting magical light.
The sound of air cannons and air guns was heard all around them. No city had better defense than Hewan New City. In addition, Hewan New City was the place where natural resources were most developed, with relatively few trees and almost no wild animals. Therefore, the monsters that came to attack the city seemed a little weak.
Most of them were reduced to ashes in the artillery fire before they reached the city shield. However, there were constantly tree people and monsters rushing here from farther away, so although the pressure on the city defense was not great, the sound of artillery fire never stopped.
As Enrique ran, he glanced at the cannon on the top of the city wall and said, "Looking at it now, I'm really envious. If I hadn't quit the Guards and followed the boss to join the police, I might be on the city wall now, controlling the cannon to shoot down the enemy."
"Why, do you regret it? You want to be an artillery soldier when you can never do math?" Ji Yijun laughed, "Who knows where the shells you fire will hit. If you really don't want to be with me anymore, then leave now!"
Enrique scratched his head and said, "Boss, this is just a joke."
Seeing Garcia was silent, Ji Yijun asked, "What happened today? Why didn't you talk?"
"Ah? Nothing." Garcia shook his head and said, "I don't know why today, but I feel a little flustered."
"Why panic? There aren't any strong monsters among these monsters. They are much easier to deal with than the guys in the God City." Ji Yijun said, "It's just that... I don't know how miserable they are outside our country."
"They must be miserable," Garcia said. "Those nobles are hiding in their own castles. They don't care about the lives of the villagers around them. They can't do anything because most castles are very small and can't accommodate many people. If they are trapped inside, they won't have enough food.
Moreover, most of the castles don’t even have magic shields, and the rats and cockroaches hiding inside are enough to make the nobles suffer.”
"That's right, and there are a lot of maggots." Ji Yijun's mean expression made Garcia feel sick. He quickly changed the subject and said, "But I think the worst are the farmers. They live in the countryside. A tree man can probably wipe out a village. It must be very desperate to feel that no one can save them."
Ji Yijun also sighed when he heard this.
The battle was over when they felt the spot where the magic had erupted.
Several students were discussing something around a pile of burnt objects by a pond. The object was as big as a small car, but it was so burnt that it was hard to tell what it was.
Ji Yijun heard a girl say, "Jenny is really amazing. This giant turtle monster is at least at the intermediate level. It can also control water magic, but you solved it in less than five minutes."
The girl said, "But the old couple was still killed by its water arrows."
Ji Yijun walked over and asked, "Do you think this monster already has magical powers?"
"Yes." said the girl named Jenny, "but it looks like it only knows one kind of magic, more like an instinct it has just learned."
