Listening to Field Marshal's report Corey and Wyatt's expression turned dignified. After all, undead demigods were more troublesome than the regular demigods. "How many are there?" Corey asked in concern for her family that lived in this city. "Now about ten dozen of them, more keep joining them," Wyatt replied, as his Soul Pupils and Hive AI worked together to give him the number. "How did you do that?" Henricks looked at Wyatt wondering how he was able to count the exact number of hostile undead demigods so quickly despite the Field Marshal's replica Celestial Space domain blocking their senses. "Trade secret," Wyatt did not answer the Henricks and then proceeded to ask him, "Are they here for Asong or Clown Mask?" "Asong," Henricks replied. "You sure you did not blabb about Clown Mask to others?" Wyatt double-checked because the appearance of the undead demigod was too ahead of time compared to what he saw in the Clown Mask's memories. Now that he thought of it, the Circle seemed to have also taken over the Yin-Yang sect which should not have been possible after he used the array master Ji Feng to sabotage their relationship. Wyatt believed that losing the Soul Pupils to him and with his intervention, the Supreme Leader's plans should have been delayed by several years but looking at the army of undead on the outskirts of the city Wyatt pondered if he was wrong. After all, according to Clown Mask's memories, this was too soon for Karl to have undead demigods. 'Why does it seem like he has gotten stronger faster? What am I missing?' Wyatt pondered, trying to figure out how despite all the setbacks the Supreme leader could grow stronger faster than he did in the Clown Mask's future vision. "What do we do now?" Corey asked in impatience seeing Wyatt was lost in thoughts. Little Baem was strong but hundred-plus undead demigods were too much for her to handle even with the help of the Field Marshal and Henricks. Even though little Baem repeatedly told her that it would take care of all of them. She dismissed her claims believing she was bragging in front of just as Wyatt pointed out earlier. "Wait a sec," Wyatt hurriedly called Diana. When she answered his call he asked, "Have the kids left? Or are they still loitering around the City?" His soul pupils did not find any kids on the city's outskirts but he called her and asked just to be safe. Also, he was worried that the undead demigods might have already gotten to them which was why he did not see any kids. "Yes, except for JJ and his friends, everyone left right away. But, Adriene and her girls choose to stay behind so I have made arrangements for them to stay in the city. Is something wrong boss?" Diana asked feeling it was unlike Wyatt to call and check on kids this late at night. "Okay, don't panic. A couple of demigods are planning to attack the city. Reach out to the city hall and get them to start the city's protection array and declare a curfew asking all citizens to stay inside," Wyatt informed Diana hoping this would get citizens to safety without causing a panic.

"Leave it to me, boss. I know what to do, I got this covered. You and Field Marshal focus on those demigods," Diana assured Wyatt and hung up the call to make the necessary arrangements.

"Couldn't I have just used my intent sense to warn everyone? It would have been a lot faster and more assuring," Field Marshal asked as Wyatt and Diana hung up the call. "That would also cause a mass panic, now everyone will think it is just a small deal and they would be safe as long as they stayed inside," Wyatt clarified. Yes, the Field Marshal was the Southern Hero everyone would feel safer knowing she was protecting them but once she was involved everyone would also know that this time the threat to the city was not a small deal but serious if it needed the Field Marshal herself to take action. Despite their trust in the Southern Hero that would cause unwarranted panic. Therefore, it was best if they learned it through regular channels. "You two why are you guys acting like this is not a big deal? I know Heatsend is strong but she is just one person. While she is dealing with one batch of the undead another batch of them could wipe this city off the map. This is a serious issue, we need reinforcements. Did you contact the Southern Watch?" Henricks snapped seeing Wyatt and Field Marshal focus on little details instead of the threat at their doorsteps. "What's wrong with him?" Wyatt asked the Field Marshal seeing Henricks lose marbles over this when he managed to maintain his calm after being captured and detained by them. "He is worried that if necessary we will sacrifice Asong to save ourselves and the city," Field Marshal Heatsend passed Henricks's leash to Wyatt hoping he could think of something to use it. "Now that's a possible solution," Wyatt understood the assignment without needing the Field Marshal to say more. "How can you guys talk about sacrificing a person so casually?" Henricks felt the duo of Wyatt and Field Marshal was toying with him but he could not help it as just the notion of them planning to sacrifice Asong to save others got him rallied up. "Here's thing Henricks, Asong is neither one of us nor the Southern citizen, she is an outsider. So, if it means saving the many, we have to do what needs to be done. You were a soldier once, you should know this better than me," Wyatt replied with a grim tone perfectly conveying it was what it was. "You guys are willing to sacrifice a helpless soul to protect yourself how dare you call yourselves 'Southern Hope' and 'Southern Hero' aren't you guys not ashamed of yourselves?"
