Scab City was built in mid-air to prevent heyma attacks, supported by hundreds of thick crystal pillars.
This involved a lot of architectural knowledge, and it can be said that in this non-technological civilization world, constructing such a city is quite difficult.
Over the years, the scale of Scab City has not expanded, yet the population has been growing.
This has become a somewhat pressing issue because when the city was initially constructed, the designers clearly set a number. Once the population exceeded this number, corresponding buildings would need to be dismantled to ensure the hundreds of pillars below remained sturdy over the years.
In recent years, as Scab City developed, more and more people began to feel that the city should expand. However, each increase in area constitutes a massive project, the costs of which are incalculable, so the city council has been hesitant to make a decision regarding expansion.
Due to the city's area remaining unchanged for many years, even the streets and buildings have not changed, so many people born and raised here are very familiar with the city, even with their eyes closed.
When the chief commissioner reminded them, and they looked at the map again, they found it was indeed the case. Ye Zhongming, in order to avoid large crowds, was taking small paths, which involved many detours, but his ultimate goal was always very clear: the nearest edge of the city!
It was obvious that this outsider wanted to escape from here!
The people of Bourbon Free Territory would not think that an outsider jumping down would result in death. History has documented many outsiders with flying or floating capabilities, and this person was likely no exception.
Currently, the entire city was mobilized, with almost all adventurers coming out to intercept and pursue this outsider. All the experts also participated in attacking him, with casualties exceeding ten thousand, and that number was still increasing, along with the loss of several top-tier experts.
It can be said that Scab City suffered a heavy loss today.
If they could ultimately kill this outsider, then everything would be fine. After all, he was an outsider, and everyone knew some of them could be extremely powerful; it was normal for this one to cause losses.
However, if this outsider created chaos in the city and then managed to escape, things would not be so easy to manage.
This would have an adverse effect on the city council and the chief commissioner, and internal turmoil in the city could even be a possibility.
After understanding Ye Zhongming's purpose, these people did not stay put; most rushed toward Ye Zhongming's destination, while the rest began preparing to pursue outside the city or to mobilize long-range troops to the city’s edge, ready to turn him into a live target if his flying speed was slow.
All the adventurers in the city, guessing Ye Zhongming's purpose, headed toward the city's edge.
Ye Zhongming indeed aimed to reach the city's edge and jump down.
As he traveled, he noticed that the number of people surrounding him began to increase, realizing that his purpose had been guessed. At this point, he no longer concealed his trail but directly ran in a straight line toward the edge.
When he encountered buildings, he simply leaped over them; when he faced blocking adventurers, he attacked directly.
Although this exposed him completely, it also allowed him to close in on the city's edge with great efficiency.
In such a large city, with a long history and unique communication methods that were quite efficient, by the time Ye Zhongming was almost at the city's edge, he found a considerable number of people gathering ahead.
The attacks against him began to intensify.
These adventurers were likely members of some large organization, acting with high efficiency and clarity in their division of labor. Ranged, melee, advance, and retreat were all conducted with rules, and even if their individual strength was inferior to Ye Zhongming’s, they managed to stall him for a brief period.
