The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

"From today onwards, the city of Sako will be under the control of our Eastern Army!"

"We Dongbang people can pursue any career we want from now on!"

"So today you impulsively rushed in for revenge, your eyes were bloodshot, you accidentally injured innocent people, caused a riot... and in the end, it was our own city that was thrown into chaos!"

"We, the people of Dongbang, are the ones who suffer!"

He pointed to the warning lights that illuminated the entire city and continued to reassure them: "We attacked the city overnight, not to result in a chaotic massacre!"

“Those evil actors, all the police officers who oppress civilians... as long as their hands are stained with blood, we will never let a single one go!”

"So please rest assured! They will all receive the punishment they deserve!"

"If we retaliate recklessly now, we will only ruin the situation we have achieved!"

"We allow the public to report and expose perpetrators of violence, but we strictly prohibit individuals from taking retaliation!"

"If any acts of vigilante violence are discovered, whether they are from the Dongbang or the Youren, all will be arrested..."

The captain tried to reason with them, but many people were still blinded by hatred.

"It's wartime now!"

"We haven't completely taken over the city yet; there are still quite a few unstable Youla bandits hiding in the corners, waiting for an opportunity to ambush us!"

"The commander said he doesn't want any Dongbang civilians to be caught up in it and die from grenades!"

So I don't want to say it a second time, but please don't cause us any more trouble!

These words, though filled with anger, were also filled with sincere concern and finally extinguished the frenzied anger in most people's hearts.

At this point, the presidents of several Dongbang Chambers of Commerce also stepped forward to speak in their defense.

The passionate crowd gradually calmed down.

Although they were still gripping their weapons tightly, they had lost their momentum to charge forward.

Having endured countless dark and hopeless days, and awaiting the liberation of their own powerful Eastern Army, they could not ruin their plans due to a momentary impulse.

The surging crowd, filled with helplessness, slowly receded, and order returned to the chaotic streets, allowing the soldiers who had been holding their breath to breathe a sigh of relief.

……

When the dock area was taken over, all departing vessels were blocked.

Sarco was ultimately not attacked, and only the SCSD Security Agency building remained.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his office, Dawn Jones looked down through the glass, his eyes filled with nothing but a chilling cold and extreme fear.

The headquarters building was surrounded by soldiers with no flesh on their bodies, all of them steel and menacing!

Instead of launching a rash attack, they stood silently in a ring, blocking off the entire building.

Watching various types of drones silently hover and monitor between buildings.

That silent, steel-encircled presence was more suffocating and despairing than a barrage of artillery fire.

Dawn felt that everything that had happened tonight was a fucking absurd nightmare!

"Where the hell did this futuristic warrior come from?!"

Such a technological gap is something that police officers like them, who only have pistols, batons, and stun guns, cannot resist!

He had never even heard of such a futuristic mechanical exoskeleton.

If it were truly manufactured by a major power, shouldn't there have been no prior warning?

Damn, they have such mature weapons and equipment but they don't show them off.

Instead, they're being used as guinea pigs for experiments?!

Dawn clenched his fists, thinking it over and over, and this was the only result he could think of.

With a sigh, Dawn turned around. Behind him, several senior executives and his personal adjutants who remained at headquarters were deathly pale. The office was eerily silent.

He cursed himself inwardly for being so useless, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you contacted Commander Barr?"

The adjutant trembled, lowered his head, and shook his head, sobbing, "Chief... it's no use."

"The entire city's communications have been cut off by the enemy outside."

The base station, external network, and intercom system are all paralyzed; they can't send or receive any signals at all!

"We...we've completely cut off all contact with the outside world!"

The moment he finished speaking, all the strength drained from Dawn's body. He staggered back a step and slammed heavily against the wall.

ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh, just as expected, this is the result!

Even if the main force outside the city knew, could they defeat those steel monsters?

The more Dawn thought about it, the less confident she felt.

Damn it, this is a fight on a completely different level!

Then, before he could think any further, he was given a chance to think about it.

When He Changfeng, dressed in an exoskeleton, arrived at the police station with one hand around his son's neck, all resistance had ended!

Even though Dawn knew how despicable his son was, seeing his only flesh and blood under the enemy's guns, he ultimately gave up the fight.

The generational gap in equipment is too large.

The disparity was so great that all the talented people were in despair!

When Dawn led everyone to disarm and surrender downstairs with all the information, the city of Sako completely changed hands!

"Father! Save me!" A desperate cry for help rang out not far from him.

Dawn turned his head and saw his son being escorted onto the car by soldiers.

At this moment, he panicked and immediately called out anxiously to He Changfeng, "Sir!"

"We have all laid down our weapons and surrendered, and I have also handed over all classified information!"

You said you would let my son go!

He Changfeng turned around, looked at the other party calmly and said, "I did promise to let your son go, but I never said I would let him go!"

"What do you mean?" Dawn's expression suddenly changed.

"The literal meaning!"

He Changfeng looked up at the crying and shouting blond-haired man, his tone icy, "Don't you know what your son did in Saco City?"

“Sacco City is now ours, and it has never been a place where you could do whatever you wanted.”

The crimes you committed do not absolve you of responsibility!

Upon hearing these words, Dawn froze on the spot, wanting to open his mouth but not knowing what to say.

In that instant, he suddenly regretted letting his son run wild!

Chapter 272 The Long Sword and the Storm 11

With no signal in Saco, even the slow-witted Kree troops stationed outside the city realized that something was wrong inside.

Inside the command tent, Commander Bar, dressed in military uniform, sat in the main seat, his fingertips tapping heavily on the table, his face terribly gloomy.

The officers under his command all fell silent and lowered their heads, none daring to speak.

“It’s been three days. Something’s definitely wrong in Sako City!” Baal’s voice was low and cold. “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

After a brief silence in the tent, a staff officer cautiously spoke first, "Commander, we can first eliminate the external enemy."

"Our outer defenses are intact, and we have not detected any abnormalities in our land, sea, air, radar, long-range surveillance, or border checkpoints."

No large-scale military presence was detected.

“Any external force that wants to invade Saco City could never infiltrate it silently.”

All the generals nodded in agreement.

One person speculated, "Could it be that Dawn and the others have betrayed us?"

The other person shook his head. "Unlikely. What benefit could betraying them bring?"

"That's not an external intrusion, so it must be an internal problem!"

"What, could it be that there's a problem with the signal base station, or was it just an accident?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

“If there were a large-scale riot in the city, Dawn and his men would have been able to send out no information at all.”

"Damn it! Instead of guessing here, we should send someone in to check what's going on!"

"We can't possibly let Saco City change hands right under our noses!!"

"If that's the case, those bastards from the Five Cities Allied Army would probably have already launched a full-scale invasion, causing us trouble both inside and outside the country!"

An irritable officer analyzed the situation methodically, completely disbelieving that Sako City was truly under control.

That's a city with 4,000 guards and tens of thousands of their main forces stationed on the outskirts.

If they were to fall silently, it would be completely beyond their understanding of military strategy.

After listening to everyone's guesses, Baal's brow remained furrowed, and his unease did not diminish in the slightest.

“Equipment malfunctions will not go on for three whole days without being reported and repaired.”

"The riots by displaced people are at most localized disturbances, which can be suppressed and controlled, and will not lead to the entire population being out of contact."

He stated coldly, "The only possibility is that an extreme event has occurred in the city that we are completely unaware of."

After much deliberation, Barr ordered a reconnaissance team to be dispatched to Saco.

Soon, the reconnaissance team, fully armed, approached the outskirts of Saco.

But as soon as they stepped into the city's outskirts cordon, everyone felt a chill run through them.

After all, anyone would feel inexplicably terrified to see a group of lifeless robots patrolling and guarding the area with guns.

Before they could take photos and leave, a drone in the sky, carrying a powerful electric current, struck them.

The air-to-ground confrontation was a foregone conclusion; all the ground scouts were electrocuted and collapsed to the ground, like Parkinson's patients.
