Due to a Soul Devoure with Death Territory characteristics invading the National Territory of Dragon Nation through the Ghost Tower, the National Territory was forcibly rendered into a Death Territory.
As a result, all high-level professionals who had cleared the World 19 were forcibly teleported out of the World 19.
Outside the Ghost Tower, those high-level professionals from higher-level realms who were fighting against the beast tide were all one after another turned into white light and disappeared.
Only a group of local professionals from the World 19 remained, still giving their all to resist the beast tide.
It's imaginable, how could a group of professionals just over level 100 resist a beast tide that continuously poured out of the Ghost Tower?
Even though it was currently impossible to determine the exact level of this beast tide, based on preliminary estimates, from the current number and scale of the Soul Devoures, it had already formed at least a Level Three beast tide.
On the frontlines, dozens of level-100-plus professionals were quickly swallowed by the beast tide.
Amid a series of blood-curdling screams, they were all killed, turned into white light, and disappeared within the beast tide.
———
In the Real World.
The Ice Emperor, who had been forcibly teleported out, was furious, "Bastards! The Seven Great Nations are simply too much!"
The relatively calmer Moon Mark said in a deep voice, "We must immediately gather all available professional combat power and send them to resist the beast tide. Otherwise, once the beast tide spreads throughout the entire World 19, then our Dragon Nation's World 19 will essentially be cut off."
This was indeed a terrifying prospect upon reflection.
Although, by logging out, one could temporarily avoid the beast tide.
But hiding for a while does not mean hiding forever.
Other countries, even if they don't enter the Death Territory, still have their National Territories to survive in, and can continue to carry out realm missions and clear the World 19 as usual.
At worst, they could treat it as if the World 19 have no Death Territory and give up the treasures within the Death Territory.
The beast tide also wouldn't invade their National Territories from the Death Territory.
But Dragon Nation's National Territory and the Death Territory had merged, essentially losing the National Territory's protective circle.
Later on, any professional who cleared the World 18, upon stepping into the World 19, would immediately face the onslaught of the beast tide.
As long as this beast tide wasn't destroyed, it meant that Dragon Nation's future new professionals would all be trapped below the World 19, forever unable to break through.
That would be equivalent to directly severing the upgrade chain of Dragon Nation's professionals.
Realizing this, Seraph immediately issued a nationwide broadcast call, ["All professionals in the World 19, please head to the World 19 immediately to resist the beast tide!"]
["This is a critical moment for us to unite and protect our Nation. If this beast tide in the World 19 is not eliminated soon, the future development path of Dragon Nation's professionals will be completely blocked!"]
Under Seraph's call.
At this moment, nationwide, all professionals who were currently progressing through the World 19 came online.
With Dragon Nation's total population reaching 1.4 billion, and about 500 million professionals.
Although not many had reached the World 19, there were still more than ten thousand.
More than ten thousand professionals between levels 100 and 110 rushed to the World 19.
———
Outside the Ghost Tower, in the blink of an eye, professionals gathered like clouds.
Looking around the entire battlefield, aside from the Soul Devoures, it was a dense sea of professionals.
This battle involving tens of thousands could be said to be unprecedented.
The scene was vast and mighty.
"Resist the beast tide, kill!"
With a shout, the ten-thousand-strong professional army charged toward the beast tide like a covering wave.
The two armies quickly clashed.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The roars of monsters, the shouts of professionals, and the sound of weapon clashes fused into one.
Blade lights and sword shadows, magical radiance, intermingled and shone.
Smoke billowed, war flames soared.
As Soul Devoures were slain one after another, white lights continued to flash across the battlefield.
Professionals, one after another, formed a wall of flesh and blood to defend the vast rivers and mountains of Dragon Nation behind them.
War correspondents began live broadcasting the entire process.
More than a billion Dragon Nation viewers watched this heart-stirring war on their screens.
Knowing that this was a war affecting Dragon Nation's future fate, everyone hoped to win.
Even civilians who weren't professionals wished they could grab kitchen knives and rush to the battlefield.
Outside the livestream room, the Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, and Seraph could only silently pray for the more than ten thousand Dragon Nation professionals participating in battle.
They couldn't take part in this battle.
This was the only thing they could do.
As one of the three great powers of the realms, Dragon Nation's strength was formidable.
The professionals currently fighting were all very strong.
Misty Rain Pavilion, Supreme, Glory, Infinity, Dragon Clan, Dragon Soar, Heavens Hall, and more.
Elite professionals from all major guilds had all rushed to the battlefield.
With overwhelming power, they slaughtered all the Soul Devoures charging out of the Ghost Tower.
However, the beast tide wasn't that easy to break through.
Especially since this wasn't an ordinary beast tide, behind it was a massive production chain composed of the Seven Great Nations.
The people of the Seven Great Nations were still frantically slaughtering Soul Devoures in their own World 19.
Continuously channeling power to the Ghost Tower, causing those Soul Devoures invading Dragon Nation to come endlessly, wave after wave.
It was an unending slaughter.
Those Soul Devoures were like ruthless killing machines.
How could human flesh and blood resist such machines?
Gradually, professionals on the field began to show signs of exhaustion.
Many professionals, after fiercely killing a few, a dozen, even more than ten Soul Devoures, finally fell to the ground exhausted, trampled to death by the beasts.
Outside the livestream, over a billion Dragon Nation viewers grew increasingly anxious.
[What do we do? If this keeps up, our warriors won't hold on!]
[Fighting like this, who can take it! Even the work mule of a production team would collapse, let alone humans!]
[It's all those beasts from Cold Nation and Eastern Nation. They're still deliberately killing Soul Devoures. These beast tides are being sent through the Ghost Tower by them. If we don't cut off their production chain, this beast tide will never end!]
[But all our warriors are already on the frontlines. Who can go stop the Seven Great Nations?]
Countless people were filled with anxiety.

[On the Battlefield]
Just when the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Dragon Nation's professionals, and the beast tide was about to engulf them—
Suddenly, a professional unit charged forward from the front…
Following the live broadcast camera of the war correspondent, they looked forward.
They suddenly saw: that professional unit was massive, vast and imposing, with a powerful momentum, visually, at least over a hundred thousand people.
And the flag above their heads was unmistakably from one of Dragon Nation's ally nations: [Thracian Nation].
"Brothers and sisters of Dragon Nation, don't be afraid! We, Thracian Nation, have come to support you!"
Immediately after, two more massive armies came from the left and right.
They were the armies of the two empires, Savia and Ukle!
Just like Thracian Nation, they were also among Dragon Nation's allied nations!
At the same time—
Whoosh!
With a flurry of blade lights and sword shadows, a vast area in front was cleared, and more than ten Soul Devoures were blown away.
A tall white warrior girl, clad in crimson armor, holding a battle sword, with snow-white skin, entered the camera's view.
