"Captain Shi, orders from above!"
A soldier clutching a Sound Transmission Talisman jogged up the city wall and shouted at Captain Shi, whose face was smeared with blood and grime.
Captain Shi had just hacked down a charging Sea Demon. Foul, dark green blood still dripped from his blade. He wiped away the blood spattered across his face and frowned at the Sound Transmission Talisman.
"What do the higher-ups say? How much longer do they need us to hold out?" he asked.
The soldier looked troubled and replied in a low voice, "The higher-ups ordered us to abandon the Southwest Defense Line and evacuate to the Northeast Defense Line immediately. No delays."
