Chapter 321

Finally, after finishing the arrangements for Tie Yi through Tie Shi, it was already close to evening. At this moment, the entire Shicheng was exceptionally calm. Although some personnel had not yet evacuated Shicheng and remained busy, the number of people who stayed behind in Shicheng was now less than five percent of what it had been before, bearing no resemblance to the surging crowds of the past three days. As of now, only a portion of the Shicheng government officials remained, including members of the Bohai Legion and the Iron Stone Guards. The majority had already moved into New Tieshi City in advance, arranged by City Lord Wang Yuan, City Lord Li Gang, City Lord Song Hao, General Wu Tian, General Xiao Feng, General Zhuge Zhan, and General Yue Peng. The fraction that stayed behind was merely waiting for Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong to emerge from seclusion. Naturally, most chambers of commerce were also doing their final packing. After all, the major chambers would not thoroughly clear out their goods until the very last moment. Moreover, they worried that the brief blank window before the Beast Tide would allow lawless elements to exploit the opportunity and cause destruction, so the major chambers were gradually moving out, leaving personnel behind until the final complete evacuation mandated by the Shicheng government.
