"Bastard!"

Captain Zhou was so mad that he smashed the table with his fist, causing everyone in the meeting room to look at him.

This time, he did not hide his anger and gritted his teeth as he glared in City Lord Wang's direction.

City Lord Wang also noticed Captain Zhou's gaze, but he only gave him a contemptuous glance before turning his head and ignoring him.

Their conversation gradually attracted the attention of some bystanders.

They all joined in the discussion on how to deal with the demons.

"Alright, alright. Captain Zhou, calm down. It's not like you don't know what kind of person City Lord Wang is."

"That's right. Let's think of a way to deal with this crisis first. Otherwise, if we can't hold on, the hundreds of millions of residents in Ocean City will all be in trouble."

Most people gathered around were from Ocean City's local forces, and they often wandered between City Lord Wang and the military.

City Lord Wang's actions threatened the survival of the local forces, so the upper echelons of Ocean City had gradually been divided into two camps.

One was the leading force led by City Lord Wang, with a prominent background behind them.

The other was a combination of the military and local forces. Although they had more people, their strength did not have much advantage.

"Mr. Lin, you're even more powerful than City Lord Wang. We'll have to rely on you this time."

The high-ranking members of the local organizations were shocked when they heard their attack target was Lin Qiye.

They apologized first and then shamelessly asked for his support.

Lin Qiye did not reject them.

After all, there were hundreds of millions of civilians in Ocean City. If the demon army was really that terrifying, he couldn't stand by and watch.

"Everyone, please rest assured. Since I'm already here, I have no reason to stand by and watch."

"With the help of an expert like Mr. Lin, we'll have a good chance of winning this time!"

"That's right. We would like to thank you on behalf of Ocean City, Mr. Lin!"

They hadn't even officially fought against the demons yet, but the group was flattering Lin Qiye as if they had already won.

However, not everyone crowded over to flatter Lin Qiye.

Most people were still coldly looking to the side and sneering in their hearts.

"What an arrogant guy! Does he think he can fight against the demon army just because he has some strength?"

"Why do you care about them? If those guys want to fight the demons head-on, let them do it. It'll give us more opportunities to retreat."

City Lord Wang and his men sneered at Lin Qiye's group.

Ever since they learned that more and more demons were gathering in Ocean City, they had planned to abandon it, especially when they heard a Celestial Realm demon was coming to help. They had completely lost the motivation to defend Ocean City.

As for why they hadn't left yet, it was because Ocean City had too many resources. It would be a waste to abandon them. Therefore, they had been secretly moving the base over the past few days.

The local forces in Ocean City had no idea about all this.

They also knew that the number of demons gathered had probably exceeded the upper limit Ocean City could withstand.

However, this was where their roots were, and to abandon it was no different from taking half of their lives. No one was willing to escape unless it was the last resort.

Due to Lin Qiye's participation, many local forces in Ocean City placed their hopes on him.

After chatting for a while, the people who really wanted to stay and defend saw Lin Qiye as their core.

Seeing this situation, the military members, with Captain Zhou as their representative, immediately tried to rope in the others and planned to come up with a detailed response plan.

In the process, Lin Qiye understood the situation better.

"According to the latest intelligence, the demons gathered near Ocean City have exceeded ten million. There are more than two hundred demons in the Immortal Realm, and the number is still increasing.

"We can only gather seven million garrison troops, and their combat prowess is generally worse than that of the demon army. Even with the help of city defense cannons and flying warships, we can only fight on par with those ordinary demons.

"That is fine, but the Immortal Realm demon commanders are the tricky ones. We can only gather less than 300 Immortal Realm Practitioners now, and only 23 powerhouses are above the Earth Immortal Realm. If a direct conflict were to break out, I'm afraid no one could stop those demon commanders."

The group gathered, their faces full of worry.

Currently, the number of high-level demons that had arrived at Ocean City was less than the experts Ocean City had.

However, reinforcements from the demons were still arriving. Almost every time the humans received an update, the number of high-tier demon commanders would be refreshed.

In the same realm, demons had a greater advantage.

If humans wanted to win, they would often need to fight two against one or even three against one.

Not only did Ocean City not have an advantage in quality, but they were also losing in quantity. That was not good news for Ocean City as a whole.

"Now that Mr. Lin is here, we can readjust our defense plan."

"Yes, that's right. Mr. Lin alone can rival the southwestern defense line's combat preparations. We can combine the northern and eastern forces, but we'll have to trouble Mr. Lin to put in more effort."

"Good. You guys can move all the troops in the north to the eastern defense line. I will take charge of the northern defense line alone."

The adjustment plan was only briefly mentioned, but Lin Qiye took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the entire northern battlefront.
