Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

The people of Great Xia stood near the main venue, while the people of the Orcs and Dwarves lined up on both sides. The Elves and the Holy Humans also sent a large number of spectators.

Further away in the open space, several giant dragons, each over a hundred meters long, stood watching.

It usually prefers to bask in the sun and sleep in, and has no interest in anything in the mortal world.

However, it flew over here ahead of schedule today, its huge head soaring over the buildings that it could see the entire square.

Lin Mo stood to the side of the reviewing stand and saw it from afar.

"The dragons have come too?"

Zhao Gang followed his gaze.

"Yes, we invited them too. A few came, but they didn't go inside. They said there were too many people inside, it was too crowded, and they were worried about accidents."

Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated.

On the main reviewing stand, Old Zhao sat at the very front, his smile never fading after he took his seat.

Queen Ellari and the Holy Human Acting Pope Ryze sat to his right.

In front of them was the "Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Joint Corps and Mutual Defense".

On the other side, Warwick, the Orc King, and Muradin, the Dwarf King, sat beside the signing table.

Before them lay the documents formally authorizing the two races to join the Great Xia Dynasty.

All four parties were present, yet they represented two different choices.

As the national anthem played, everyone stood up, marking the start of the military parade.

After the event concluded, the first team drove in from the road in front of the square, accompanied by the commentator's narration.

The soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty, clad in exoskeletons, marched past in orderly steps, their exoskeletons gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

All the people sat up straight without prior arrangement.

Every step these soldiers took seemed measured by the same ruler, their stability inspiring awe.

Following closely behind were the Tier 3 conventional combat robots.

They all had identical faces, made no unnecessary movements, and kept their weapons at the same angle, making the whole team look like a moving steel wall.

The dwarf king Muradin's gaze was quickly drawn to the elite fifth-tier robots behind him.

Those robots had thicker armor and were equipped with various transformable weapon platforms. They were robots specifically designed by the Great Xia Dynasty to provide heavy firepower.

"What a pity..." Muradin murmured.

"We can't replicate it; the structure can't be hammered out."

Upon hearing this, Warwick, who was standing nearby, laughed and said:

"It's alright. Now that we've all joined the Great Xia Dynasty, once the people learn, we'll be able to build them too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy tremor came from the ground.

A row of sixth-tier Pangu mechs walked from the end of the road.

Each step they took caused a slight tremor in the plaza. Their six-meter-tall bodies resembled two-story buildings, with armored arms and shoulders that revealed plasma cannons and miniature missiles.

It also carries a high-frequency long sword on its back, and its streamlined, cool and domineering appearance is simply breathtaking!

The people of all ethnic groups, who had been talking in hushed tones, now all craned their necks.

Watching the formation thunder past was incredibly oppressive!

Following the armored vehicles are armored cars, electromagnetic tanks, mortar-howitzers, vehicle-mounted lasers, missile vehicles, electromagnetic cannons, plasma cannons, antimatter devices, and so on.

Its sheer size and almost cold structure were enough to make the people of all ethnicities in the square exclaim in disbelief.

From soldiers, machinery, transportation, and firepower to the command system, the Great Xia has formed a complete combat system.

After the ground troops passed, a deep rumble suddenly echoed in the sky.

A group of fighter jets swept past below the clouds.

Following closely behind are helicopters, unmanned combat aircraft, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, swarms of drones, and other flying units.

They emitted no magical fluctuations, yet they could instantly change direction high in the sky, arranging themselves into neat arrows, and finally splitting into two columns above everyone's heads.

Queen Ellari looked up at the sky, a look of shock appearing in her pale blue eyes.

Just when everyone thought the parade was over, the entire square suddenly went dark.

A huge holographic projection rose into the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw an endless sea appearing above them.

The waves surged, and a massive aircraft carrier broke through the sea, surrounded by cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and submarines.

Carrier-based aircraft took off from the deck, leaving white trails in the air.

People of all ethnicities gasped in astonishment, whether from the mirage-like sight or the massive fleet.

The Great Xia Dynasty used to have a navy, but now it has been incorporated into the Starfleet, becoming one of its branches.

The projection on the sea surface slowly receded into the distance, leaving everyone still in awe. A new shock had already emerged, replaced by a deep, dark starry sky.

Countless stars hung overhead.

In the holographic image, a massive flagship slowly sailed over everyone's heads, leaving them all looking up in astonishment.

The scene suddenly zoomed in on the bridge, where Liu Yishou, the commander-in-chief of the interstellar fleet, stood in front of the command platform, with all the officers and soldiers behind him.

"Starfleet First Squadron, reporting for duty to the people of Great Xia!"

The sound was amplified and carried throughout the entire square.

The next moment, the image zoomed out, and a spaceship over a kilometer long emerged from the depths of the projection.

It didn't actually appear in the sky above Terra, but the oppressive feeling from the projection still made many people hold their breath.

Energy patterns flowed across the ship's surface, and dense array of weapon cannons lined the bow. A massive shadow slowly swept over everyone's heads.

The camera zooms out further.

One ship, ten ships, a hundred ships.

More than a hundred interstellar ships formed a complete formation, like a galaxy forged from steel, arranged in the dark universe.

The square, which had been filled with awe, was now completely silent.

Even the dragon gaped open, deeply shocked.

After the Starfleet projection dissipated, no one spoke for a long time in the plaza.

Lin Mo's voice echoed throughout the surrounding area as he stepped onto the stage.

"Next, we will hold a signing ceremony for the joint defense agreement."

Queen Ellari and the Holy Human Acting Pope Ryze rose at the same time and walked to the signing table.

On behalf of Da Xia, Zhao Lao shook hands with the two men and jointly signed the Joint Legion and Joint Defense Strategic Cooperation Agreement.

After the agreement takes effect, the Elf and Holy Human races will send representatives to join the joint legion's command system, open up war resources after registration, and accept unified command from the Great Xia when the Demon race attacks.

After signing his name, Ryze put down his pen and said softly:

"We hope that we can completely eliminate the threat of the demon race and restore peace to the continent of Terra."

Next comes the ceremony that will truly change the landscape of Terra today.

Lin Mo politely saw the two off, while Old Zhao remained standing still. Lin Mo picked up the second document and solemnly read it aloud.

"Let us welcome Mr. Warwick, the Beastmaster of the Orcish Alliance, and Mr. Muradin, King of the Dwarf Kingdom, to the stage!"

"Jointly signed the 'Confirmation Letter between the Great Xia, the Orc Alliance, and the Dwarf Kingdom Regarding the Establishment of the Autonomous Region and the Rights and Obligations of Citizens'."

His voice echoed throughout the square.

"After the document takes effect, the Orc Autonomous Region and the Dwarf Autonomous Region are officially established."

"Residents of both ethnic groups have legally acquired citizenship in Bactria, and their original culture, language, tribal traditions, and legitimate private property are protected by the state."

"They also bear the civic obligations of military service, paying taxes, accepting unified management, and jointly resisting the demon race."
