Chapter 463 Arrival (4K)
Red Mountain City, built against a mountain, is a small city with a "lineage" of a dozen years.
A Level 5 territory.
As a Level 5 Senior Lord, the Lord of Red Mountain is also quite a competent lord. After all, there are a handful of lords who have spent twenty or thirty years developing their territories and still have not passed the "Promotion Trial."
Reliant on a red copper mine discovered in earlier years, the Lord of Red Mountain had built a fairly intact domain with complete military and civilian facilities. Even though its location is somewhat remote, Red Mountain City can still be called a flourishing small city.
Red Mountain City even has a red city wall more than a dozen meters high, which fully protects the city on the side facing the wilderness.
It is for this reason that in the face of the sudden onslaught of monsters, Red Mountain City was able to hold its ground and not be overwhelmed and annihilated in an instant.
Even so...
The roar of monsters entered the ears, and the rumbling sounds were incessant.
"Bang—"

A flying creature fell from the sky, crashing into the City Lord's Mansion, smashing several large planters. At this moment, the flying creature still retained strong vitality, flapping wildly, destroying everything around it until it was completely killed by the guards stabbing it repeatedly with their spears.
The wind passed, and the stench of blood struck the face.
The Lord of Red Mountain hurried to contact reinforcements.
The Alliance, officials of Pan Shi City, surrounding lords, old friends, and the "Red Dragon Group" to which his Red Mountain City was affiliated.
He was a Group Lord, who climbed to the position of city lord step by step with the investment of the Red Dragon Group.
In Red Mountain City, many lands and industries are assets of the Red Dragon Group. Of course, after many years of operation, the Lord of Red Mountain fancied himself as part of the group's senior management with a considerable say in matters—after all, he was a Senior Lord.
"Damn it!"
"Reinforcements! I said I need reinforcements! Otherwise, the whole Red Mountain City will fall into ruin, and all assets will be shattered. Don't you understand!"
The Lord of Red Mountain cursed angrily.
Before him, a figure interwoven with light and shadow revealed a bitter smile, "Red Mountain, it's not that we don't want to rescue, but the group is willing but powerless. At this time, we can only hope for the officials and other rescuing lords."
The Red Dragon Group was a respectable group itself, with several dozens of controlling territories, a large trading company, four medium-sized trading companies, and its businesses extended to hundreds of towns and cities, renowned in the entire region of Pan Shi City.
The caravans of the Red Dragon Group could go to any place in Twilight Dominion, and the number of Monster Tribes and Lands of Filth that the group had eliminated was beyond count.
However, Red Mountain City faced a massive wave of monsters, a tide suspected of harboring creatures from the Legendary Realm.
Compared with a great disaster, the Red Dragon Group could not be called powerful.
In the entire group, only the founder Director He was at the Legendary Realm, plus the group also enshrined two independent Legendary individuals.
The figure said, "I have already dispatched two Division Generals to lead troops to your aid, but Director He and the two enshrined Legends... they are not nearby."
In reality, they might be nearby, just not willing to take the risk.
Director He was reluctant to risk his group's only Legendary realm general, and the group could not command the two enshrined individuals.
Regarding this, an old friend of the Lord of Red Mountain felt helpless, for he could only send reinforcements within the scope of his authority.
There were not many guards left inside the City Lord's Mansion, as the majority of people able to bear arms had already gone to defend the walls.
Mounting a Griffin, the Lord of Red Mountain ascended above the city.
In the distance, a Two-Headed Flying Dragon hovered, with a towering figure standing on its back. He looked ahead, holding a heavy sword with one hand and slashing forward.
The sword light was vast, like ripples on the surface of water growing more and more turbulent.
The sword light, absorbing the Elements of Heaven and Earth, swelled from a dozen meters to one or two hundred in the blink of an eye, and swept across a thousand meters of sky and earth before falling upon the monster-infested area outside the city walls.
"Boom—!"
Monstrous creatures turned to dust, creating a gap in the black tide. A giant fissure broke open in the ground, but this gap was quickly refilled.
Amid this dark tide, High-order Monsters occasionally emerged, easily leaping onto the city walls by stepping on the corpses of other monsters—Red Mountain City's walls, built up a second time, were Rare Level walls reaching 30 meters high, yet they only stopped the common monsters.
The towering strongman rode the Two-Headed Flying Dragon, rushing about to "put out fires."
The Lord of Red Mountain, too, became a firefighter, focusing on sniping down the powerful boss-level monsters until the assault wave briefly abated. Only then did he come beside the Two-Headed Flying Dragon, looking towards the towering strongman and saying,
"President Jiang, we are immensely grateful for your rescue assistance in Red Mountain City, and we will surely present a generous gift afterward."
As he spoke, the Lord of Red Mountain also took out several Excellence Level restorative items and handed them to the burly man.
President Jiang took them and, glancing at one, unscrewed a potion and drank it down.
President Jiang, a personage from Baijiang City, would have been recognized by Mu Yuan as the man who, years before, had briefly served as a vice-president in Baijiang City.
However, President Jiang's term as vice-president was very short.
When he went to Baijiang City, it was really because the military forces had suffered heavy losses and their only Legendary general had died in battle, leading to him being ordered to return to Baijiang City to recover. But he was not given long to convalesce before Lanxing entered the "End Times," and President Jiang hastened to the borderlands to fight back the monsters.
He asked, "How many reinforcements?"
He also said, "No Legendary Monsters have shown themselves yet, but this kind of monster tide is likely to spawn Legendary Monsters. Moreover, even if there are no Legendary Monsters, I can't hold on forever."
There were simply too many monsters, including quite a few that were of the Third and Fourth-order.
He, too, had only recently reached the Legendary Realm, and the attrition could potentially lead to his death.
