The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

The sentry robot in the shadows didn't even bother with any pretense; a bolt of lightning shot out, instantly piercing through the bunker and the rocket launcher operator's chest!

Just as the police officers' psychological defenses were about to collapse, several nimble gray figures suddenly rushed out from the roadside weeds and ruins.

Those were Dongbang soldiers wearing exoskeletons. Their gait was steady and swift, leaping and charging forward... moving like flowing water, constantly firing and reaping the panicked enemy soldiers on the ruined terrain.

The more terrified the U-1 soldiers became, the more frantically they fired wildly in all directions, attempting to suppress the enemy with overwhelming firepower and bolster their own courage.

Unfortunately, the enemy on the other side had no sense of martial ethics. Their bullets hit the exoskeleton armor, only causing sparks to fly. They couldn't penetrate the defense at all, not even leaving a shallow dent.

On the other hand, the Dongbang soldiers were bombarded with various high-tech weapons in turn. In less than a few minutes, the U-Jin infantry line completely collapsed. With no power to resist, they all raised their hands and surrendered!

And it was at this moment that Hope finally saw what kind of enemy they were fighting!

Drones swirling in the sky, robotic dogs and robots with their gleaming fuselages, and futuristic warriors that seem to have stepped out of a science fiction movie...

Behind them were several extremely large and imposing tanks.

Looking at the rows of exposed missile launchers on the vehicle and the machine gun muzzle emitting blue light... Hope was completely stunned.

What's the point of fighting?!

Luckily they surrendered quickly, otherwise they would all have become neutrinos!

Chapter 271 The Long Sword and the Storm 10

Although the Yu-Jin reconnaissance efforts were halted, the Dongbang Army did not stop.

Instead, they took this opportunity to split into three columns and continue marching towards Sako.

We're on the verge of being discovered. If we don't take the initiative to attack, then all we'll be left with is passive defense and counterattacks, which is pointless.

Under the cover of night, a large number of drones were the first to disperse and enter every corner of Saco City to conduct surveying and reconnaissance.

Mark the locations of each SCSD branch office, ammunition depot, food depot, power station, and communications building, as well as suspicious wealthy manor houses and private armed strongholds.

Although the U.S. Police Force has four thousand officers, this includes a whole system of personnel such as early warning officers, administrative staff, traffic security personnel, and sentry posts.

The U-Faced Assassins were scattered throughout the city, armed with pistols and stun batons, making them no match for the Dongbang Army.

The East Alliance's first wave of attacks was so swift that they didn't even need armored vehicles; a few robots quickly captured all the SCSD branches.

When faced with Clare police officers who have laid down their weapons and surrendered, their instructions were simple.

All firearms were confiscated, handcuffed, and all were put into a vehicle and sent directly to the prison they had built.

As for what crimes he committed in the past?

We can only wait until things are calmed down before sentencing them one by one!

The few who were holding out in the building were being cleared out floor by floor by the exoskeleton assault team, which used stun grenades.

All captured firearms and ammunition were loaded onto trucks, transported away, and sealed for safekeeping; they were not to be left anywhere in the city.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

On the main building of the West City Precinct, the intense gunfire indicated that several Kee officers were still putting up a last-ditch resistance.

They couldn't understand why, in the blink of an eye, several robots straight out of a science fiction movie would attack them outside the police station!

But no matter how confused and bewildered they were, their fear of robots and the unknown drove them to frantically move metal cabinets to block the entrance to the stairwell.

Holding small pistols, they banged and shot, blocking the enemy's advance.

"Don't come any closer! We'll shoot if you do!"

The gunshot struck the incoming exoskeleton armor, only scattering sparks.

The tactical robot dog circled around to the side corridor, and with a flash of electromagnetic pulse, the walkie-talkies and lights inside the room were burned out, plunging the room into partial darkness.

A commando raised his hand and threw a stun grenade over the filing cabinet obstacle.

With a piercing bang, a burst of white light exploded.

The gunshots and shouts in the room fell silent instantly.

The Dongbang soldier, wearing an exoskeleton, lifted the obstacle with one hand, moved it aside, and stepped onto the second floor.

The tactical helmet's heat scan penetrated the partition, quickly dragging the dizzy, disoriented men who were still trying to reach for their guns out from behind cover.

Taking down these cops who only bully civilians is incredibly easy; there's absolutely no pressure involved.

At the same time, each squad that carried out the blitzkrieg successfully raided the city's weapons and ammunition depots, and took control of the substation, water treatment plant, and staple food storage warehouses...

With the threat of gunfire, the engineers on duty continued to maintain the operation of the facilities. Those who were willing to cooperate would retain their posts temporarily, while those who refused to cooperate would be detained on the spot.

After the communication base stations and broadcasting centers were quickly taken control, the technical soldiers directly cut off the city's network.

At the same time, a temporary military control announcement was broadcast repeatedly: a curfew is in effect throughout the city!

No one is allowed to go out at night!

Vigilante justice is strictly prohibited. Anyone attempting a riot has been identified as a terrorist and will be executed on the spot!

……

The densely packed explanations were all designed to prevent ordinary people from failing to grasp the situation and causing trouble.

Of course, from the moment the gunshots rang out, no one living in the city was a fool.

Although they didn't realize what was going on, they all fled back home, not daring to show their faces.

All city gates, main roads, and overpasses were blocked by the East Bang Army's armored vehicles and robots.

On the road, the modular roadblock device emitted a low mechanical hum, and the metal components stretched and deformed with a click, erecting rows of alloy barricades in the middle of the road in the blink of an eye.

The blinding array of searchlights rose and lit up simultaneously, beams of bright light piercing the dark night and illuminating all the main roads leading in and out of the city as if it were daytime.

Fully armed exoskeleton soldiers stood in every spot, their electromagnetic rifles gleaming with a pale blue light in the night.

With drones hovering low overhead, scanning the heat source signals and vital signs of passing vehicles and pedestrians in real time, the Dongbang Army completely blocked every section of the city's roads, streets, and areas from the outside.

Under the cover of night, occasionally some daring civilians or panicked idlers would try to slip through, but they were all stopped and thoroughly investigated on the spot.

Many disbanded Kerulen militants, having shed their police uniforms and donned ordinary black clothes to disguise themselves and hide, mingled in the crowds, attempting to slip into residential areas under the cover of night or sneak out of the city.

However, with comprehensive thermal imaging, facial recognition, and gait comparison technologies, all disguises are rendered ineffective.

No matter how low they pulled their hats down, deliberately bowed their heads, or pretended to be panicked civilians, the system could still accurately identify individuals with suspicious identities.

Whenever a disguised deserter is discovered, without the soldier saying a word, a cold, mechanical voice echoes throughout the checkpoint: "Identity abnormal, passage prohibited, detained on the spot!"

The mechanical soldier strode forward, his movements swift and decisive, and suppressed the attacker with a backhand.

No matter how the other party panicked, tried to explain, struggled, or even pulled out a gun to fight back, the robot remained unmoved, handcuffed them with silver bracelets, threw them into a car, and sent them to prison.

When a tree falls, everyone pushes it down!

Ordinary people wandering outside couldn't understand where these steel warriors came from, which showed how orderly and disciplined they were.

The unpopular police officers were quickly reported by the crowd.

People with even greater hatred will seek revenge on the spot, seeking redress for any wrongs they have.

They covered the terrified U-Theatre police officers and dragged them into a dark alley.

Overnight, the sporadic gunfire quickly subsided in the face of the real steel torrent.

The drones' 360-degree patrol and surveillance leave no blind spots, making it impossible for armed personnel to hide.

Upon learning that the soldiers dressed like futuristic warriors were all from the Dongbang, many Dongbang citizens, fueled by pent-up hatred, took to the streets in a fit of rage.

Some of the people with red eyes wiped away their tears, gripped their kitchen knives and iron bars tightly, and roared as they were about to break through the street defenses and rush into the upscale apartment of U-Ren to take revenge!

"Hey! Fellow villager, you can't be that serious!"

"What do you mean it's not that serious?"

"Nonsense, it's not that bad!"

"Get out of our way! Don't block our way!"

"that is!"

"These yakuza have the blood of our Dongbang people on their hands!"

"My son was beaten to death by them without cause last month, and today they must pay for it with their blood!"

"My daughter too, look what they did to her! Waaaaah..."

"Let me kill them!"

My son was framed and sent to prison by them!

"Why should they be allowed to hide inside so peacefully! We must get our revenge!"

The crowd's emotions completely spiraled out of control, and years of suppressed humiliation and hatred erupted. The dark mass of people continued to gather, creating an extremely chaotic and agitated scene.

The soldiers on duty knew and understood their frustration, but an order is an order.

They are not executioners, nor do they want their compatriots to become rioters and butchers.

The shouts grew louder and louder, and the squad leader immediately stepped forward to block the crowd, his booming voice drowning out the cacophony of angry roars:

"Fellow countrymen! I understand your hatred for You Lao!!"

"But please be patient!"

"Let me finish speaking!"

A few words brought the restless crowd to a slight halt.

The captain's gaze swept over the crowd of people with tears in their eyes, and he solemnly said with a heavy heart: "Over the years, we know all the suffering you have endured, the torment you have suffered, and the relatives you have lost due to Klee's oppression and death!"

No one wants to settle scores with them more than we do!

Someone in the crowd, with red eyes, roared: "What's the use of knowing?!"

"I won't swallow this insult until I avenge myself!"

"That's right! I want to kill that beast with my own hands and avenge my father!"

"You have to endure it even if you can't swallow it!" the captain roared.

"Usurping justice is chaos!"

"Open trial is the law!"
