Hope Town.
By around noon, the trend of the beast tide’s attack finally started to weaken.
"The beast tide is retreating! The beast tide is retreating! The beast tide is retreating!"
Soone sat on a flying carpet and passed this ssage from above Hope Town, repeating it three tis!
Upon hearing this news, the visitors truly felt completely relieved.
It’s finally retreating!
Hope Town has finally leveled up successfully!
The residents of Hope Town were indeed very happy, proclaiming it along the way.
But it is really sothing to be happy about.
Hope Town successfully upgraded to a Level 3 Town, and it seems the ranking will move forward.
What does this an? It ans Hope Town is going to beco a mighty town!!
It might even beco the top township below city level.
This title is contested by many Level 3 Towns.
Now Hope Town certainly has the power to compete!
But what happened next left them stunned!
What they didn’t expect was that upon hearing the beast tide was about to recede, not a single resident of Hope Town seed relaxed; in fact, so grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the town gates, even before finishing their als.
The beast carts, originally sowhat empty, were quickly filled, then started and rushed towards the gates at great speed.
In no ti, the originally bustling street turned quiet.
"Where did they go?" a tourist asked the shopkeeper left at the store.
"Hahaha, they went to slam the door and beat the dogs."
"Slam the door and beat the dogs? What’s that?"
"Naturally, it’s about surrounding and blocking the demon beasts; it’s a tradition here in Hope Town. When the beast tide is retreating, that’s when the demon beasts’ desire to attack is weakest, and their combat power is affected. Everyone will take advantage to pursue; it’s a great opportunity to farm experience points!"
"...That’s just... outrageous." The tourists couldn’t help but say, but thinking back on these words, they strangely made sense.
Instinctively, so combatants started rushing towards the gates.
These were the ones who participated in the beast tide.
They felt that following the residents of Hope Town wouldn’t go wrong.
Let them experience the unique experience of Hope Town!
They also left, leaving behind so tourists who were not accustod to combat, looking bewildered.
Hope Town, indeed, walks an unusual path!
At this ti, with the beast tide receding, the Task Center opened, resuming the welcoming and sending off of people.
As soon as it opened, countless waiting tourists flocked towards Hope Town.
This was the first territory to successfully level up in this beast tide.
Other territories were either still upgrading, had failed to upgrade, or were breached by the beast tide.
Most of these territories remained closed to outsiders, and even if they could open, they wouldn’t—they wouldn’t let soone probe their weaknesses when they’re most vulnerable, that’s suicidal.
So they couldn’t wait to co to Hope Town to understand the real situation of the beast tide.
Among these tourists, there were also many other territories’ lords and nobles.
When they erged from the Task Center, they saw relatively deserted streets, with few people around, far from the prosperity they had heard about.
Even the people who had been to Hope Town before felt strange.
They directly grabbed tourists on the street to inquire.
"Did Hope Town suffer heavy losses in this beast tide upgrade???"
This was the subconscious reaction of most people.
They knew this beast tide upgrade wasn’t simple, and having lasted an entire day and night, how much manpower, resources, and money were spent???
With just a simple calculation, many felt sorry for Hope Town.
In this situation, they naturally suspected the current state of Hope Town.
Seeing their misunderstanding, the tourists quickly waved their hands and said, "No, no, Hope Town is fine, better than ever."
They really had never seen a territory and people so spirited.
The new tourists looked at their reactions with surprise, eyes filled with both confusion and inquiry.
"Soone just passed along the ssage that the beast tide receded, and then most of Hope Town’s residents rushed towards the gates." The person speaking paused deliberately here, "They went to the gates to finish off the remaining demon beasts."
"They’re not planning to let any remaining beasts from the tide escape; they want to catch them all!" Soone nearby couldn’t help but say loudly.
They were shocked and wanted others to be shocked too!
New tourists: "..."
They were indeed shocked.
Isn’t there sothing wrong with the people of Hope Town?
Do they have to be so competitive!!!
For a mont, the scene was silent.
After a while, soone spoke, "Why don’t we go take a look?"
Witness firsthand how Hope Town’s people handle the beast tide.
Just like that, another wave of people gathered to watch the excitent headed for the gates.
Wave after wave.
In a short ti, Hope Town’s "slam the door and beat the dogs" tactic quickly spread among the tourists.
**
anwhile, at the gates.
When the beast tide receded, Zhou Bai had already left the battlefield and returned to the city walls.
Her Holy-level Magical Beast group had also been withdrawn by her.
When retracting them, she could feel this group of beasts was very happy.
After all, as adversaries, killing demon beasts could also increase experience points, aning they’d beco stronger—even demon beasts couldn’t refuse such benefits.
But Zhou Bai and the departure of the Holy-level Magical Beast group didn’t affect the battle situation.
O’Neill and his group of Beastn, Heidi and her group of Undead, had swiftly led their teams to carve out a path through the beast tide, setting up a frontal line when the beast tide first started to recede.
The demon beasts, blocked on the front line, charged initially, but after being forcefully repelled, they moved to the sides.
At this ti, Zhou Zhengping and other soldiers had also brought large weapons to block the sides.
When the teams gathered at the front and back, it signified that the battlefield direction towards the South Gate was directly sealed.
With the seal, the demon beasts had nowhere to retreat, and additional soldiers and professionals arrived from the back, flanking them, leaving only the sound of fighting on the scene.
Soon, similar sounds ca from the West Gate and East Gate.
"Charge, charge, charge!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"I declare, slam the door and beat the dogs, officially starts!"
"Don’t let any demon beast go."
"..."
Chants echoed everywhere, resounding throughout the territory.
The tourists who had reached the gates were dumbfounded.
Soon after, so joined in while others watched; the entire battlefield was bustling.
Seeing everyone manage the situation on their own, Zhou Bai stood above, watching slowly, with a slight smile on her lips.
Just like that, with everyone’s efforts, the number of demon beasts dwindled rapidly.
Perhaps reaching a certain point, the system automatically judged they had triumphed over the beast tide, and Zhou Bai saw her panel with new notifications.
Upon opening it, a "surprise" appeared.
[Congratulations Host, your territory is the first to pass the upgrade test, ranking first in the region, you have received 2 special buildings.]
[Congratulations Host, you passed the territory upgrade test, gaining 4 buildings.]
[...]
The successful upgrade to a Level 3 Town!!!
As the dust settled, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but exhale a long breath.
Following the usual experience, Zhou Bai imdiately looked at her territory’s ranking.
Having just upgraded and expanded the territory’s area with infrastructure players, would the ranking rise again?
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai’s heart raced as she looked at the territory panel.
The number behind the territory ranking had changed.
[Territory Ranking: 333]
Seeing this number, Zhou Bai was stunned.
It’s not that this number was coincident, but that this ranking represents the top 1 of Level 3 Towns.
Because rank 332 is a City-level Territory.
Hope Town has beco the top town among all the towns???
After confirming several tis, a hint of joy flashed across Zhou Bai’s eyes.
This ranking is the biggest feedback to Hope Town.
Then, Zhou Bai prepared to start unlocking buildings.
During the unlocking, Zhou Bai felt no pressure, her mood exceptionally relaxed.
Because she knew that Hope Town, as a Town-level Territory, had done its best, and adding more buildings wouldn’t change it.
But, is the ranking of cities, towns, and villages truly as stable as Zhou Bai imagines?
