He said loudly:

"Stomach cutting! The upper level has always needed the lower level to supply the marrow, and the lower level has also needed the upper level to supply resources! Now that the upper level has fallen, no matter how much marrow we dig, no resources will come down!"

"Furthermore, the expansion of the rift has become increasingly rampant recently. The monster I destroyed for the second time in Rivet Town was even able to dull my chainsaw!"

"You know, when I first went to Rivet Town, I sawed my way from the entrance all the way to the orphanage without stopping! That gives you an idea of how serious the situation was!"

"..."

For a moment, everyone was silent.

If the upper districts really fall, it won't benefit the Earthfire, the Wanderers, or the Swallows.

Although people in the lower classes are very unhappy with those in the upper classes.

They withdrew all their troops and locked them up in the lower levels to mine.

but……

At least once the earth marrow was handed over, the supplies actually reached our hands.

Furthermore, the increasingly violent nature of the Rift creatures is not limited to the upper levels.

If it weren't for Yan's two consecutive mass dismemberments in Rivet Town, the Rift Creatures would have already reached Rock Rock Town by now.

Clara even lost her life.

Therefore, when the girl suggested that Swallow also go to support the upper district, he did not immediately agree.

The situation in the lower levels is not optimistic either.

Schwarz looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"If Earthfire and the Wanderers both need to go to support, then my Automaton will stay on the lower level. We cannot send all our forces up there, otherwise the lower level will be unguarded."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

"That's right, it's not just the upper zones that are experiencing massive expansion of the rifts, the lower zones are doing it too, aren't they?"

"If we all go up to provide support, what will happen down below?"

"But if the upper levels are gone, then we'll be gone sooner or later too..."

"It's over, the heavens are against me!"

Seeing that both the Wanderers and the Earthfire factions were panicking, Schwarz continued:

"My legion can conservatively protect one area. If we concentrate everyone in the lower district for protection, there won't be any problems."

There aren't many areas in the lower levels that haven't yet fallen.

Panyan Town is one example, along with large mining areas and machinery settlements.

Schwarzrod's legions could only protect one, meaning the other two had to be temporarily abandoned.

"Of course, it's to defend Rocky Town! If that place becomes a rift, what's the difference between the lower districts and the area falling?!"

"Large mining areas are also very important; there's still geyserum there!"

"We don't need the core hub anymore?"

For a time, there were different opinions.

Dan Heng stood in front of everyone and analyzed:

"If we have to defend a region, Panyan Town is undoubtedly the most important."

"If even the most important residential areas become rifts, then the situation in the lower districts will become very bad."

"Even if the Mechanical Settlement and the Great Mining Area fall, the Wanderers can stay temporarily in Rocky Town. As for the Core Hub and the Earth Core... if this operation goes smoothly, the snowstorm in Beloborg will stop, and the cable car can resume operation. No matter what we choose, I think it's safer to defend Rocky Town."

Clara nodded in agreement:

"Yes... towns are still more important."

After hearing Dan Heng's words, the people of Di Huo were overjoyed, because they originally lived in Pan Yan Town.

But the homeless hesitated.

If we lose the camps of the large mining area and the mechanical settlement, living in Rocky Town would undoubtedly be like living under someone else's roof.

and many more.

It seems the camps in the large mining area were vacated by the miners... and the camps in the mechanical settlement were also cleared out by Schwarz.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem to make much difference.

At most, it's just a bit closer to the fire.

“Hmph, then let’s do it this way!” said one of the homeless men.

"Hey, you guys from Earthfire, don't make things difficult for us later!"

Hearing the wanderer's cries, the members of the Earthfire Clan also shouted back in response.

"Forget it! As long as you don't do anything immoral, who cares about you!"

"That's right, isn't it always you guys who do the bad things first?"

"Bullshit! If we hadn't lost our homes and were starving every day, would we have done those things?!"

Hearing this, Pera stepped forward and said:

"Well, if Bellberg can get through this crisis safely, supplies won't be a problem, since the lockdown has been lifted, hasn't it?"

"he~tui!"

"How can we trust you? The higher-ups can impose a lockdown whenever they want, and not impose one whenever they want! Besides, they clearly said they would lift the lockdown, but now the cable cars can't even be used. Lifting the lockdown is just talk, right? There's no real action, just empty words!"

Pera's gaze was blank; these homeless people were unusually hot-tempered.

But it's understandable. After all, they've lost their homes and are living a life of wandering every day. It's normal to feel insecure.

"Damn it, bro... what do we do now? We're beset by internal and external troubles!" Sangbo came to Yan Huan's side and said worriedly.

Yan held a tablet in his hand, watching the screen intently, completely oblivious to the arguing around him.

"Big brother? Big brother!"

Sambo looked at the tablet: "What are you looking at?"

The image is dominated by red and blue, with a touch of yellow mixed in.

What was once a snowy plain is now teeming with creatures from the Rift Realm, moving slowly like a torrent.

The direction of their movement was clearly the Beloberg Line.

Countless Iron Guards charged forward one after another, raising their weapons and fighting with all their might.

However, due to the sheer number of monsters, the entire defensive line continued to advance towards Beloborg, and it seemed that it would soon reach the administrative district.

Suddenly, the screen flashed.

Cocolia grabbed the flying drone with one hand, looked at the screen, and said coldly:

"...If you're not dead, get up here right now."

This sudden turn of events startled Yan so much that his tablet fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it, are they finished discussing yet!" Sangbo looked at the crowd around him, who were still babbling on and on.

"Brother, let's go and try to persuade them. We can't let them keep arguing..." Sangbo said anxiously.

"Can't you see? Those homeless people don't have a leader at all. Once someone sets the pace, they immediately start venting their pent-up grievances. The more you talk to them, the more excited they get."

"What should we do then..."

"What to do? Let's not wait anymore. It's like we have to wait for them. I was just checking the battle situation and thinking about where to start the fight. Who's going to wait for them?"

Snapped--

Yan Huan snapped her fingers.

A gray-white wall of light appeared behind us and began to expand rapidly!

"What...what is this?!"

"Am I seeing things? I see a white wall, and it keeps getting bigger!"

"My God, magic!"

Yan shouted loudly: "Stomach rip—!! For the tribe—Charge!! Awoooooo!!"

With that, Yan led the way and rushed into the light curtain.

……

On the walls of Belleburg.

Cocolia frowned deeply.

The cold wind howled.
