My profession panel inspires loyalty.

Under the command of the Eastern Federal Commander, the towering alloy city gate, reaching a height of a kilometer, slowly opened amidst the roar of hydraulic systems.

On the plains outside the city gates, the steel torrent of the Sunset Empire had already been arrayed.

At the very front were heavy infantrymen equipped with psionic shields, followed by the Sunset Legion exuding a powerful aura, and further away, large military vehicles hovered in mid-air, appearing and disappearing in the distance.

"Reporting to the General! The city gates are 25% open!"

The messenger's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his voice trembled.

On the city wall, Zhou Wuyang, the commander of the Eastern Frontier, stood with his hands behind his back, his crisp military uniform gleaming with various federal military medals.

The general, who came from the Zhou family, remained calm, though a hint of struggle flickered in his eyes.

If Chixin Hui hadn't been pressuring him so much, he really wouldn't have wanted to do something so humiliating and detrimental to the country.

But the elders are right. The rules and regulations of the Red Heart Society are tantamount to taking the lives of all the aristocratic families in the Federation.

The Red Heart Society is still somewhat overwhelmed, but they can still use their power to gain some benefits for the development of their family before they are purged.

Once the Red Heart Society stabilizes the situation in the internal provinces, they will inevitably face elimination.

Even the wealth accumulated by a family over generations through hard work will be taken away by the Red Heart Society.

Therefore, they must take advantage of this time to create a time difference!

Most importantly, the conditions offered by the Sunset Empire were very tempting, especially the protection of the Sunset Empire's ninth-level professionals, which made it impossible for them to refuse.

An extraordinary era!

Without the protection of a Nine-Turn professional, they would be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

Therefore, he could only let the people of the Eastern Province suffer, and he would bear the blame himself.

"Pass on my order: have the Third Army Corps stationed on the city wall retreat a hundred miles."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Wuyang gave another order, "Tell the marshal of the Sunset Empire's border army not to go too far!"

The adjutant stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.

In the end, all he could do was stamp his foot heavily and bow, saying, "Yes!"

He understood perfectly what Zhou Wuyang meant by not going too far. Every time the Sunset Empire breached the eastern border, it would inevitably carry out various massacres in the eastern provinces.

Even the various experiments conducted by the Sunset Empire on professionals were carried out in the Eastern Province.

But since the commander had given such an order, he, as a junior officer, had no choice but to obey!

After all, he was not only a federal officer, but also a member of the Zhou family!

However, when this order was sent to the Third Legion, which was guarding the eastern fortress, it was met with resistance from the legion commander.

"Zhou Wuyang, you son of a bitch, is here selling out your country for personal gain!"

The legion commander was furious. "As the commander of the Eastern Frontier, you not only failed to resist the Sunset Empire's border troops, but also opened the gates of the Eastern Frontier to let the Sunset Empire's border troops in and massacre them.

"After all, the defensive forces in the Eastern Territory have never been a match for the Sunset Empire."

"I can understand Zhou Wuyang's actions as a desire to avoid a major war and to prevent the country from falling into turmoil."

"Now the eyes of the world are focused here, and the Sunset Empire dares not go too far."

"What do you mean by allowing our Third Army to retreat?"

"Are we just going to hand over this fortress to them like that?"

"So, do we still want this Eastern Territory?"

"You don't really think that the Sunset Empire will hand over this eastern fortress so easily after taking it over, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the adjutant's eyes turned cold, and he immediately presented the commander's token.

"Does your Third Army Corps intend to disobey orders on the battlefield?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered his personal guards to take command.

"Take him down!"

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A spatial rift a thousand meters long suddenly opened up in the sky, and brilliant golden light poured down like a celestial river, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield in an indescribable pressure.

The next moment, it was as if an invisible hand descended from the sky, directly crushing the several Sunset Battle Groups that were hiding in the air and ready to attack into a pulp.

Chapter 204 On the side of the Red Heart Society, there are only four words: destruction of the country and extinction of the race!

"damn it!"

Upon witnessing this horrific scene, Marshal Sunset's eyes widened in horror, and he slammed his fist onto the command platform of the psionic warship.

Each Sunset Legion was built at great expense by the Empire.

Now, the enemy's move has caused the empire heavy losses!

The loss of tens of thousands of elite professionals will inevitably provoke the empire's wrath, and he may even face a military court after this battle.

As he pondered, he stared intently at the golden beam of light tearing through the sky in the holographic projection, his gums bleeding from excessive biting.

"According to Article 9 of the Professional Convention, those who have reached the ninth level of professional status must not interfere in national wars!"

"This is a treaty jointly signed by all high-level professionals in humanity!"

Marshal Sunset's roar echoed within the warship, yet it couldn't conceal the slight tremor in his voice.

In the projected image, the figure slowly emerged from the dazzling golden light, the crimson heart-shaped badge on the black uniform resembling congealed blood.

This outfit, this power!

There is only one person in the world today!

That was Lin Xia, the founder of the Red Heart Society!

If it were any other ninth-tier professional, the Sunset Border Army Marshal would surely step forward to uphold the dignity of the empire with his proud demeanor.

After all, other ninth-level professionals have their pride and would not bully non-ninth-level professionals.

However, the founders of the Red Heart Society are definitely not included!

The opposing side, with its overwhelming strength, led a civilian organization to seize all the land under the Federation's control and even physically destroyed the Federation's headquarters.

Faced with such a rule-breaking Nine-Turn professional, all he could do was bury his head in the sand.

Otherwise, the Sunset Empire battle group that just perished would be his next fate!

"Marshal, according to the Empire's regulations, we need..."

The adjutant whispered a reminder from the side.

"Shut up!"

The marshal shouted sternly, and then without any hesitation, he began to urgently request reinforcements.

Immediately afterwards, his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

He saw that with each step that person took, ripples spread across the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of space.

Even more terrifying, when these spatial ripples swept across the battlefield, all of the Sunset Empire's military equipment and psionic warships became useless toys.

The Red Heart Society uniform fluttered in the strong wind, and a faint golden light could be seen through Lin Xia's black hair.

"The Red Heart Society... Lin Xia?!"

On the eastern border fortress, Zhou Wuyang's composure shattered instantly.

He was horrified to discover that his eighth-level cultivation was powerless against this oppressive force; he couldn't even move a finger.

At this moment, the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Whether it was the Eastern Federal Army or the Border Army of the Sunset Empire, they were all rendered speechless in the face of this absolute power.

Lin Xia stood in mid-air, her gaze sweeping over the dark mass of soldiers below, and suddenly sighed softly.

"Why bother?"

As a soft sigh rang out, the psionic warship where Marshal Luoyuan was located suddenly began to vibrate violently.

The multi-billion dollar composite armor was like tin foil being kneaded by an invisible hand, and precision instruments burst out with blue-white electric light.

Even more terrifying was the boiling battle qi within his body. The energy, honed over a hundred years, was burning in his meridians, transforming into golden flames that burst forth from every pore.

"Do not!!!"

Marshal Luo was horrified to discover that the Eighth Rank Battle Qi within his body was rapidly dissolving like the first snow of spring.

Even more terrifying, his body began to spontaneously combust uncontrollably, and under this terrifying burning, his most prized eighth-level cultivation was also rapidly disappearing!

"Is this really the strength of a ninth-level cultivator?"

Marshal of the Sunset Border Army was forced to the ground by the power of the domain, his face ashen.

As a member of the Sunset Royal Family, he was not unfamiliar with ninth-level professionals.

He even observed the fighting techniques of a ninth-level professional.

But he had never heard of a ninth-level professional being able to burn away their fighting spirit and magic power with a single thought.

This power!

This is not something a Nine-Turn Technique should possess at all!

He could feel that the power within him was not simply being depleted, but was being truly erased from its source, irreversibly.

Even his professional ranking is rapidly declining.

He finally understood why the Qin family patriarch had been defeated so decisively.

Why was the Red Heart Society able to take over the Federation so smoothly?

In the face of such a powerful being, quantity has long lost its meaning.

Lin Xia glanced at the location of the Sunset Border Army Marshal, and with that one look, the hidden psionic warship was instantly destroyed.

The next moment, he raised his hand and pressed down, and all the flags of the Sunset Empire on the battlefield spontaneously combusted at the same time.

At the same time, high-ranking professionals in the Sunset Border Army and the Sunset Warband were horrified to discover that their bodies were also beginning to spontaneously combust uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, numerous blank spaces appeared in the once dark and densely packed border troops.

Without any flashy moves or earth-shattering explosions, it was as if a god casually wiped away dust, and the once invincible invading army crumbled in the blink of an eye.

Now, all that remains are ordinary soldiers of the Sunset Border Army.

Anyone with even a modicum of strength and cultivation was annihilated by the dimensional reduction attack just now.

“Go back and tell your emperor.”

The next moment, Lin Xia's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"The Red Heart Society is not a federation and does not have the habit of ceding territory and paying reparations."

"The only things that will ever be true loyalty are national subjugation and racial extinction!"

"This invasion by the Sunset Empire will be the countdown to its destruction!"

The Sunset Empire was on Lin Xia's kill list.

Other countries may be put aside for now, but this damned country must be destroyed.

He was determined to repeat his strategy of never sheathing his sword, and his idea of ​​plowing this land several times over.

"Arrogant!!!"

At that very moment, a sound wave shattered the clouds within a radius of ten miles.

Immediately afterward, Kameda Tsugio, dressed in dark purple samurai armor and revered as the Sword Saint of the Sunset Empire, arrived through the air.

With each step he took, he left burning footprints in the air, and the terrifying pressure of a ninth-level professional caused the earth to crack open with spiderweb-like ravines.

Lin Xia heard the voice, but didn't even lift her eyelids.

He was examining the golden flame floating in his palm; within that seemingly weak flame, countless runes were faintly appearing and disappearing.

When Kameda Tsuyoshi entered the kilometer range, the flames suddenly split into hundreds of golden threads.

"The Professionals' Convention is for all..."

Kameda Tsugio's reprimanding voice had barely begun when it abruptly stopped.
