On the western city wall.

In the early stages of the battle, the Germinal Organization was at a disadvantage. Although Lu Luo was only a level nine Third Realm martial artist, she had displayed strength that even a Fourth Realm martial artist might not be able to reach and forcefully repelled the attack of a large number of Fourth Realm demon beasts.

A huge black sickle waved like a windmill, shattering the carapace and sending flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Yang Wei and the other three overseers were shocked.

They were clearly all level nine Third Realm. Why did it seem like she was on steroids and was ridiculously powerful?

After the Germinal Organization’s fighters retreated from the mystic realm and joined the battle on the western city wall, the scales of the battle quickly tilted towards the Germinal Organization.

Moreover, the black-clothed martial artist made the huge octopus demon beast feel fear. It never dared to enter the battle.

In the end, the two sides did not fight to the death.

The Seventh Realm demon beast roared angrily and dived into the lake. The many demon beasts also seemed to have lost their backbone and disappeared into the water.

Lu Luo was covered in blood and her face was cold as she looked into the distance.

She saw the waves fluctuate as before finally disappearing in the distance, heading towards the Azure River.

Those demon beasts had clearly entered the Azure River from the East Lake. In the end, they would return to the Drowning City mystic realm in the East Sea.

Manager Number Two heaved a sigh of relief. “We did it… return to the east wall immediately!”

Lu Luo also reacted and put the huge sickle into her storage bag. She was the first to run towards the east wall.

In comparison, Yang Wei and the other two overseers were not so anxious. They only slowly walked over.

As for the fighters, they also did not care about the life and death of the wasteland reclaimers. Their mission had always been to explore the mystic realm. Therefore, after the battle on the western city wall ended, they immediately returned to the mystic realm.

“Why are you running so quickly? There’s still no news of the east wall being lost. It must have been defended.” Yang Wei glanced at Lu Luo’s back and smiled in disdain.

“I hope that there won’t be too many casualties…” Lu Luo was nervous.

However, when she arrived, she saw an extremely shocking scene.

A figure stood proudly on the corpses of a group of Third Realm demon beasts.

The sunlight fell, but it was all swallowed by the black armor.

At this moment, he was like a black guardian god.

Without these Third Realm demon beasts as the leaders, the remaining Second Realm, First Realm, and weakest Zero Realm demons were naturally not enough. They had long died after being attacked by the defensive towers,wasteland reclaimer, and refugees.

The wasteland reclaimers and refugees cheered for him.

“Long live Shield Ghost!”

At this moment, he seemed to have become the pillar of support for all the low-level members of society.

Shield Ghost!

Lu Luo sighed softly. She did not know if her sigh was out of admiration for Shield Ghost or helplessness towards the Germinal Organization.

“This guy is really not bad. I wonder if my coin scattering strategy will work.” Manager Number Two’s voice sounded beside her.

“Pay up.” The black-clothed martial artist had also arrived beside Manager Number Two at some point in time.

Manager number two: “…What’s with that tone…”

The black-clothed martial artist shook his head. “I was agreeing to what you were saying.”

Lu Luo could not help but laugh.

Soon, they obtained the specific situation of the eastern wall from the wasteland reclaimers.

Lin Xuan was the one who got Shield Ghost to help.

In the entire battle, everyone basically relied on Shield Ghost to win.

He dared to jump into the center of the demon beasts alone!

He dared to solo more than a dozen Third Realm demon beasts!

The guards on the east wall were almost at the point of collapse. It was because of the addition of Shield Ghost that they were able to turn the tide.

Lu Luo could not help but ask, “Sir, can the organization reward Shield Ghost?”

Manager Number Two’s expression could not be seen. “I’ll mention it, but it’s most likely going to be rejected by Number Three.”

Lu Luo smiled helplessly and thought of another person. “What about Lin Xuan? He called for Shield Ghost. We should be able to reward him, right?”

Manager Number Two pondered.

According to the descriptions of the other wasteland reclaimers, Lin Xuan’s performance in this battle had been ordinary. His only major contribution had been to use his friendship with Shield Ghost to call for Shield Ghost.

Could it be that this person had a deep relationship with Shield Ghost?

Manager Number Two immediately became interested in Lin Xuan. Shield Ghost was unmoved by force or persuasion. Perhaps he could persuade him with Lin Xuan’s help.

“That shouldn’t be difficult. Don’t worry, the reward will come in a day at most.” Manager Number Two nodded.

This battle between the east and the west city walls had happened very suddenly and ended very abruptly.

However, among many wasteland reclaimers and refugees, someone had already spread the news widely.

Shield Ghost!

When the overseers and managers abandoned the eastern wall and rushed to the western wall, Shield Ghost stood forward and helped everyone guard the eastern wall!

A few days later.

The rewards for the battle were given.

The wasteland reclaimers on the east wall all had their star rating raised by one level. Those who made outstanding contributions received an additional star.

As for equipment, skill books, and runes, these were all included in the rewards.

Lin Xuan’s rewards were relatively rich. His level in the organization had increased by another two stars and he went from a six-star wasteland reclaimer to an eight-star wasteland reclaimer. His single room had changed from a ten-square-meter small room to a twenty-square-meter small room. Although it was still small, it was much bigger than before.

In addition, he obtained a rare blue equipment and a rare blue skill book.

Sun Zhiguo and the other wasteland reclaimers were very envious. They had not been able to obtain rare blue-level equipment and skill books even after being in the mystic realm for a long time. Of course, these things were not very valuable in Lin Xuan’s eyes. He had no other use for them aside from smelting them at the smelting table.

Only Shield Ghost had a rather interesting reward.

“The refugee Shield Ghost has contributed greatly to the battle on the east wall. He is specially permitted to directly join the Germinal Organization and can directly obtain the status of a ten-star wasteland reclaimer. In addition, he will also receive two rare blue equipment and two rare blue skill books.”

When this announcement sounded, the many wasteland reclaimers and refugees in East Lake City were in an uproar.

Shield Ghost had made such a huge contribution and he was only worthy of being a ten-star wasteland reclaimer? If he could kill so many Third Realm demon beasts alone, shouldn’t he be directly promoted to a “fighter”?!

The entire broadcast was even carried out with a lofty tone.

It was as if they were saying: “Come! We don’t care.”

Hearing this broadcast, Lu Luo frowned.

She thought for a moment and knew that this was definitely done by Manager Number Three.

It was still the same thing. The stronger Shield Ghost was, the more useless they seemed.

As for Shield Ghost’s contribution? Killing a large number of Third Realm demon beasts alone?

There were many sprouts of Third Realm martial artists in the Germinal Organization. There was no lack of them.

Even if your Shield Ghost is very powerful, how many Third Realm martial artists can you beat? Three, four, five?

Zhou Feng was also furious as he paced around his father’s office. He cursed Manager Number Three ten thousand times in his heart.

As expected, Shield Ghost refused.

He did not only reject the status of a ten-star wasteland reclaimer, he also rejected the rare blue equipment and skill books.

The Germinal Organization acted high and mighty and gave out a poor offer. However, Shield Ghost was also unwilling to accept such an offer.

Lin Xuan did not care about the attitude of the Germinal Organization.

He only wanted to live a safe life in the Germinal Organization.

When he became a Seventh Realm martial artist and could wander freely in the wilderness, he would be able to leave the Germinal Organization.
