After Xiao Ning swallowed Bai Fei's Queen's Source Blood, she continued to sleep in a daze, as if the Queen's Source Blood had no effect on her at all.

Although Chen Feng didn't understand why, he believed that Bai Fei would not let him down.

So Chen Feng left Xiao Ning's room, set the room's security mode, and then walked towards his Martial God equipment.

...

Midnight.

The streets of Gu Yongshang City were bathed in a dim yellow light, which soaked the asphalt pavement into a warm orange hue.

The iron gate of the logistics passage on the west side of the Martial God Palace slid open silently. There were no sirens or bright lights to clear the way, but three heavy armored vehicles drove out one after another like silent steel behemoths.

They drove in a grand procession towards the east of the city.

After the two decoy teams set off, the convoy that actually carried the War Gods began to depart.

The three heavy armored vehicles are equipped with electromagnetic shield generators and two automatic rapid-fire turrets, and each vehicle is also equipped with two high-level martial gods.

The convoy even had two powerful experts at the Desolate Rank, making it an extremely luxurious lineup.

Inside a heavy armored vehicle.

In the very center of the carriage was a bomb-proof transport compartment filled with a nerve-suppressing fluid that glowed with a faint blue light. The war weapon codenamed "Ember" was silently suspended in the center of the liquid.

Just like what Chen Feng saw on TV.

It was an extremely tall, humanoid figure, its body covered with a layer of keratin that was a mixture of dark red and charcoal black, and its body gleamed with a metallic sheen.

Meanwhile, a martial arts master named Li Yuanwei was standing in front of the explosion-proof transport cabin, carefully examining this weapon of war worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Hey, did you hear? To protect these three bodies, the 7th Special Operations Battalion has also deployed a detachment, right behind our vehicle."

Li Yuanwei tapped the cold blast-proof cabin wall with his fingertips, but the sound couldn't hide his excitement.

Sitting opposite Chen Feng, Zhang Ce, a Martial God of the Desolate Rank, raised his eyelids slightly, his expression calm, but his fingertips remained on the hilt of the sword at his waist: "Enough with the idle talk."

"Hey, these are all our own people," Li Yuanwei said. "And I've also heard about what happened to these guys three years ago at the West City Spiritual Research Institute. One of the first-generation monsters went berserk and even injured several members of the 7th Special Forces Battalion that was stationed there... I wonder if this guy can still control himself now."

"These guys are not easy to deal with, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to transport him," Zhang Ce said calmly.

"Zhang Dada, then tell me, why don't they just use transport planes to carry them? Wouldn't that be much simpler?" Li Yuanwei asked, puzzled.

Zhang Ce sneered.

They seem to think this question is stupid.

"Right now, apart from the airspace above the two upper cities, which we can still control, the airspace above the remaining middle and lower cities will not be safe," Zhang Ce said.

......

Just after the caravan left the territory of Gu Yong Shangcheng and entered the wilderness.

The road conditions had deteriorated significantly, and the more severe bumps made the three people in the car lose all interest in resting.

Chen Feng opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Ce, who was looking at him.

"We've already left Gu Yong's territory," Chen Feng suddenly asked.

Zhang Ce raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"There are three layers of air defense firepower above the city of Daye alone. If the military's transport planes dare to appear in the nearby airspace, they will be locked on from hundreds of miles away."

After speaking, Zhang Ce tapped the hilt of his knife on his knee with his rough fingertips, his tone becoming more serious: "Although the land route is slower, it can avoid the anti-aircraft fire of the northern city and prevent them from wiping us out in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng asked thoughtfully.

"How exactly did Daye Upper City fall?"

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, with only the continuous jolt of the armored vehicle rolling over gravel.

Zhang Ce met the probing gazes of his two teammates, but his eyes revealed a sense of disdain and indifference.

After a long silence, Zhang Ce finally spoke to the two of them, saying, "This is not something we need to know right now."

Li Yuanwei immediately laughed it off and said, "Lord Zhang, if you know anything about it, please tell us so that we can have a deeper understanding of the escort mission that is about to take place."

"That's right, we need to have a more comprehensive understanding of the enemy," Chen Feng added, glancing at the monitor inside the car.

Zhang Ce shook his head, put down the kinetic weapon in his hand, and looked at Chen Feng.

"Daye has always been the northeasternmost barrier of the Great Xia... It repels the Ziwei insectoids to the west and blocks the early spring behemoth tide to the east. There are three fully-equipped Martial God regiments stationed in the city, and four Hong-rank experts who have been stationed there for many years. Not only that, Daye is also the only fortress with extremely high militarization. Everyone thinks it is an iron city that will never fall."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanwei unconsciously stopped his swaying steps and even softened his breathing.

Chen Feng listened quietly.

Zhang Ce seemed to have thought of something, and scoffed, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm, "But this year's early spring behemoth tide is particularly large, reportedly three times the size of previous years, so two Martial God Legions were directly dispatched to the seven border cities to assist in city defense, and even all the Hong-rank experts were transferred away."

"Is that so strange?" Chen Feng asked.

"It is indeed very strange," Li Yuanwei echoed.

"On the eve of the arrival of the behemoth tide, the Darkin, who were lurking in the upper city, took the lead in decapitating the high-ranking military officers of the Upper City of Daye. Soon after, the demons and the army of the North City launched a fierce attack on the Upper City of Daye. With the city's defensive firepower out of order, almost all the automatic turrets on the city walls malfunctioned. Only the remaining Martial God Legion and the Seventh Special Forces Battalion were able to launch an effective counterattack."

"At that time, the 7th Special Operations Battalion had a detachment stationed in the city, and the leader was a comrade of mine from the same year." As he said this, Zhang Ce's hand tightened slightly, and his knuckles turned white.

"Fifty martial gods and soldiers from the 3th Special Operations Battalion were stationed separately at the Daye's firing points. When their kinetic weapons ran out, they used their warrior forms. When their energy was depleted, they resorted to close-quarters combat. They withstood the onslaught of thousands of demons and North City warriors for nearly three hours before finally all perishing there."

"Just as the Great Xia army on the border was reacting, Daye Upper City had already fallen into the hands of the North City, and within an hour, the early spring behemoth tide descended."

Zhang Ce's gaze remained calm as he spoke.

However, Chen Feng felt a pang of guilt.

According to Special Envoy Xia Zhi, he only knew the four words "the Great Cause has fallen," but he did not know that behind these four words was a bloody massacre carried out by collusion between insiders and outsiders.

Chen Feng tapped his knee twice with his fingertips, his eyes instantly turning cold.

"It seems that we and Beicheng are now sworn enemies," Chen Feng said calmly.

"There's really no room for tact," Zhang Ce said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the car communicator next to Chen Feng suddenly crackled with a "sizzle".

A sharp electrical hum instantly shattered the stillness in the carriage.

Zhang Ce's expression changed slightly, and he reached out and pressed down on the communication panel.

Before he could even set it up, the voice of the 7th Special Operations Battalion's leader burst into the encrypted channel, accompanied by the sound of a kinetic weapon pulling its safety pin in the background:

"An unidentified mechanical combat unit was discovered 600 meters to the right rear of the convoy. There were more than 35 of them, which may be spider-shaped suicide bombers of the Mechanicus."

"What?!" Li Yuanwei jumped to his feet. "How did those people from Beicheng find our location?!"

Zhang Ce ignored him, his knuckles immediately pressing the communication key, his voice as cold as ice: "Lead vehicle report road conditions! All armored vehicles activate protection mode, rapid-fire turrets automatically lock onto and fire! Don't let them get close to the convoy!"

The moment the order was given, the roar of the engines of the three heavy armored vehicles suddenly increased.

The three rapid-fire turrets on the roof quickly turned their guns, and the infrared sights swept across the dark night sky behind them.

The next moment, nine blazing tongues of fire erupted simultaneously from the cannons, armor-piercing shells trailing dark red contrails as they pierced the night like an orange torrent, engulfing dozens of dark figures rapidly approaching from several kilometers away!
