"We've lost a total of 600 elite guards in the city.
We've lost a total of 6 Purple Moon Warriors in the city and 17 injured.
We've lost a total of 2,100 elite guards and 27 Purple Moon Warriors in the city. They're all in battle.
"Are you sure you want to transfer the elite troops and the Purple Moon Warriors from the Hope Barrier, the underground crevice, and the border of the forest?" Standing in front of Clyne, the Agnes family's chief in charge of the city defense was reporting the latest battle situation to him.
Clyne closed his eyes as his fingers tapped on the armrest of his chair.
The situation was not looking good. Should he transfer the warriors from the battlefield? No, unless he wanted to get his hands on an abandoned Safety Sector No. 17.
From the garage mission to the underground war, to the cleansing operation, and finally to the battle tonight, Safety Sector No. 17 had been through a series of battles and lost a lot of manpower.
Now, the warriors on the few important defense lines were barely able to hold the line. Should he transfer more warriors? If more warriors died, Safety Sector No. 17 would be exposed to the monster horde, zombie hordes, mutated insects, and all sorts of other dangers.
Should I use the Level 2 Sector Protection Machine? I'm afraid not yet! The energy source of this strategic weapon was very precious, and it would be a waste to use it against the black-mantled men unless it was an emergency.
So, can I transfer the Purple Moon Warriors from the underground? Clyne opened his eyes and placed the cigar in the crystal ashtray on the table.
No, absolutely not.
It would be blatantly exposing the Agnes family's collusion with the Underground race. Tang Ling's words in the afternoon had already caused an impact. If the Agnes family refused to admit it, no one else could do anything about it.
However, if he presented the evidence and blackmail now, it would turn the Agnes family into a public target.
Some things might have already happened and many people knew about it, but it was better not to expose it to the public.
The situation was terrible, but there was still good news.
The Tiger Generals had left. After the battle in Glory Square, they quietly left Safety Sector No. 17. It was a message from the Purple Moon Warriors who were in charge of monitoring them.
How could the Tiger Generals express their stand so easily? Even if Tang Ling's identity was important, the only choice they had was to lay low.
Clyne did not want to think too much about the Tiger Generals. If that was the case, there was only one other option left for him.
Clyne put the cigar back in his mouth, picked up the communication device on the table, and gave a few simple instructions.
Soon, a servant delivered a document to Clyne.
The document was a simple operation order, but it was equivalent to unveiling the trump card of Safety Sector No. 17 that only the castellan and a handful of nobles knew.
Clyne took out a very special seal that was carved from a piece of crystal and stamped it on the document solemnly. "Tell the remaining elite guards and Purple Moon Warriors to retreat and stop fighting. A new force will take over their battles! "
"Yes, sir," the servant kept the documents and replied loudly before leaving Clyne's office.
Clyne looked out the window at the night sky. The Agnes family's mansion was still very quiet.
The Stardust Council sent news that the operation had escalated. Hopefully, they could move faster.
But how long could these people delay by using a trump card? There shouldn't be a problem, right?
Clyne mocked himself as he fiddled with the crystal stamp in his hand. He had just gotten the stamp from Worf and he never thought he would have to use it in just a few hours.
**
Anthony fell to the ground with wounds all over his body.
After the black-mantled men gathered, Sorin retreated to Ah Bing's side. The surroundings somehow quieted down.
Ah Bing lit a cigarette and squinted his eyes at the Tower in the night sky. He said, "Inform all the operation teams to take responsibility and gather as soon as possible.
Sorin, you'll be leading everyone to fight a very special battle squad. "
"Huh? How special? " Sorin wiped his heavy hammer. He did not know if the grand operation tonight would spread the news of the Dragon Army's return to the world by tomorrow morning.
As for how special the battle squad was, was it important? They would only be a stepping stone on the road to recovery.
"There are around 150 of them and all of them are at the level of a Purple Moon Warrior. They'll be equipped with the most advanced firearms in Safety Sector No. 17 and five grenades. Most importantly, the amount of ammunition they can carry is much more than the normal elite guards. "Ah Bing's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something normal.
Sorin looked serious. "According to the news from various places, we only have 617 men left. If some of the Purple Moon Warriors join the battle, I wonder if we can hold on against this battle squad."
Ah Bing spat out a mouthful of smoke and said, "The Purple Moon Warriors won't join the battle. Clyne doesn't want to take the risk unless he's willing to lose all the internal defense forces of Safety Sector No. 17.
The whole sector is in turmoil after the purge. Do you know how scary it is when the internal defense forces are emptied?
But he doesn't dare to mobilize the Purple Moon Warriors on the battlefield. " Ah Bing had fought with the Dragon Army for seven years. Plus, he was a Purple Moon Warrior back in Safety Sector No. 17, so he knew and could analyze everything.
"That's not a problem. Even if there are 100 more men, it'll be fine." Sorin also looked at the Tower.
"Don't be too optimistic. This battle squad can only consist of around 600 of you. Whether it's me, Su Siao, or the other two, all of us will have our own opponents. Understand?
Besides, this 150-man team isn't normal people! They're … half-zombies, "Abing said something terrifying.
"How dare Safety Sector No. 17?" Sorin was shocked.
"They don't dare. They've only applied for it and got permission from the alliance of the major factions. That's why they turned the hopelessly injured warriors into half-zombies.
"You know, it's the normal procedure. If they were truly unscrupulous, why would Safety Sector No. 17 only have one such team and there are only 150 of them? "Ah Bing said seriously.
This era was cruel and merciless. The pitiful warriors who cherished the great will to protect Safety Sector No. 17 even to the death were pitiful.
Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that their lifelong wish to protect Safety Sector No. 17 would fall through and they would become tools for the Agnes family to fight against the Dragon Army.
Therefore, some factions could not be forgiven. They used their power to toy with the hot-bloodedness of the people and trampled over the greatness of the people for their own benefit.
Killing intent surged in Ah Bing's heart, but this time, Tang Ling would be the one to complete the massacre.
"I understand now. We will fight until the very end for the vow we made and the ideals that will never change. "Sorin no longer dared to lower his guard.
Half-zombies were terrifying. They shared the same characteristics as zombies. Unless they were completely killed, no amount of damage could make them lose their will to fight.
If their limbs were not broken, they would not even lose their ability to fight. That's right. If a zombie's stomach was punctured, would they lose their ability to fight?
On top of that, the half-zombies still retained a part of their consciousness. They retained their fighting abilities from when they were alive and could be trained with resources and trained even though they would never have the chance to break through the genetic lock and become a Purple Moon Warrior.
But what did it matter?
In short, the half-zombies were fighting machines that humans cultivated using the Devil Fungus and some special technology.
Sorin was going to lead the 600 plus men to face the terrifying monsters.
"After the battle, retreat from Safety Sector No. 17 and hide according to the plan," Ah Bing reminded Sorin again. What he did not tell Sorin was that he, Su Siao, and the others would have to face a cruel battle as well. Their enemy was the Purple Moon Warrior zombies.
The Purple Moon Warrior zombies were many times stronger than the half-zombies. The potion that modified them was not something that could be synthesized by humans.
If a Purple Moon Warrior was willing to be injected with the mutated Devil Fungus before they died, they would turn into a Purple Moon Warrior zombie.
Of course, they would also lose their true consciousness. Like the half-zombies, they would only obey a few special commands.
However, the difference was that the Purple Moon Warrior zombies retained their peak strength from when they were alive, including their talent abilities.
Although they no longer ate, they had to be injected with crystallized fluid made from superior crystals every day.
Their bodies would slowly crystallize as well.
Of course, on the day they fully crystallized, they would die for good, but the process would take 150 years.
What a terrifying opponent!
Ah Bing frowned. Every three ranks of a Purple Moon Warrior was a huge threshold.
The Purple Moon Warriors that could transform into zombies were usually rank 3 and above. Otherwise, it would be a waste of energy.
If he was not mistaken, the source of the transformation potion should be the Dream Seed!
The Purple Moon Warrior zombies that were created from such a huge amount of energy, coupled with their fearless, unyielding battle will, and higher damage tolerance, it was normal for them to fight someone of a higher rank than them.
Unless there was a difference of three ranks, only then would the Purple Moon Warrior zombies be crushed.
On top of that, since their bodies were crystallized, it would be harder to cause damage to them. There was a saying that the closer a Purple Moon Warrior zombie was to death, the scarier it would be.
However, even if they could not withstand it, they had to endure it because the Dragon Army would return today and Tang Ling would officially step onto the stage.
With that in mind, Ah Bing looked up at the Tower again. It was at that moment that a slightly scrawny young man finally appeared behind the gate.
He was still wearing a black robe, but the hood was pulled down, revealing his delicate and handsome face that always had a tinge of shyness on it.
His complexion had returned to normal and was no longer as messy as before.
However, he did not flaunt it. Instead, he walked out of the Tower in a normal manner.
Everyone was silent as they stared at the young man, the young man who had once again borne their hopes.
His name was Tang Ling, and he was Tang Feng's son.
"Where's Arhan?" Tang Ling asked as he stood in front of the entrance of the Tower, allowing the night breeze to flutter his black mantle.
He seemed to have gotten used to being the center of attention, or maybe he did not care because he did not understand what was going on.
"Arhan is at the west side of Glory Square. No one touched him, but I think he's heading east to the Agnes family's mansion. He must have sensed something was wrong, so he'll seek protection from his master, "said Ah Bing.
"Mm-hmm." Tang Ling walked towards Glory Square step by step and started to jog.
"I'll kill Arhan first and then destroy the Agnes family. That's it." His jog somehow sped up, and everyone automatically opened up a path for him.
His voice echoed in the night breeze as he clearly conveyed his next move. He was the guide, just like how his father was the guide back in the day.
The war seed was completely activated at that moment and it instantly melted into Tang Ling's body.
Then, a strange energy started to flow out endlessly, filling every corner of Tang Ling's body in an instant.
Silently, Tang Ling's body grew stronger and his speed increased. He was like a black whirlwind in the dark night.
Five seconds later, he grew stronger again. Three seconds later, he grew stronger again. One second later, he grew even stronger. In just 15 seconds, Tang Ling had grown to an unbelievable level.
Speed? He could barely feel his speed anymore. With every step he took, he felt like he was melted by the wind and could travel a dozen meters in an instant.
Strength? Whenever he clenched his fist tightly, he felt like he could crush a piece of steel in his hand.
Reflexes? No, could it still be called reflexes? Now, it should be a more mystical feeling, right?
The Purple Moon in his eyes grew clearer, the wind slowed down and its direction became clearer, the dust in the air, the floating clouds … Everything became more vivid and real in his eyes. He could feel the slightest changes and his body would move according to nature without any reflexes.
Instinctively, Tang Ling felt that the feeling was very important. It would be very meaningful for his future advancement and he had to remember the feeling.
What about Precise Instinct? Will my Precise Instinct change? Tang Ling did not fight, so he could not get an answer.
However, he still noticed some surprising changes. For example, he used to have to concentrate, calculate, and draw a 3D image in his mind, but now, all he had to do was glance at it and all kinds of data would appear in his mind. He did not even have to draw it out on purpose. The data would turn into all kinds of lines and the lines would automatically form a 3D image. It felt like he was looking down from the sky and the route around him could be seen clearly.
Was that all? Tang Ling did not think it was just a faster calculation. There was no breakthrough in nature yet.
However, the war seed might bring him more surprises.
20 seconds later, the special energy from the war seed was finally released.
Tang Ling stopped at the same time. Glory Square was right under his feet.
After a fierce battle, the once beautiful square was almost turned into ruins.
The broken floor, blood, bodies, and smoke made the place look like another ruined battlefield.
Where was Arhan? Tang Ling started to search around.
He did not even notice the fanatical gazes from the people behind him. They followed him all the way, but they were a distance away from him.
So powerful? Is this the young lord? Is he that powerful? No, he shouldn't be this powerful!
He was a hidden young man who had gone through hardships. He did not have endless high-end resources since he was young, nor was he nurtured by any famous master.
So what if he was the great leader's son? Even if he was a perfect genius, he still needed time to grow.
But how did he do it? His speed had already surpassed a common Purple Moon Warrior. Every step he took was Transient Steps!
Fine, regardless of how he did it, the familiarity was similar to meeting the great leader back in the day.
He was always creating miracles and it made people wonder how he did it. How did he do it?
Everyone's blood began to boil. If the hope they had felt before was somewhat vague, then it was now firmly planted in their hearts.
"Arhan." Tang Ling spotted his target.
He was like a stray dog. Just like Ah Bing said, he was running towards the east side of Glory Square like a madman.
**
This is crazy! This is crazy! Was this all a dream?
Arhan sprinted through the dark alleyways and tried his best to take the more secluded paths. He wished he could grow another pair of legs to run faster.
Tonight's battle had given him too much shock and fear. Until now, he still didn't know where those three people who were so powerful that they could suffocate him came from.
That's right, his knowledge was limited! He had climbed to his current position by currying favor.
If he knew he would have to face such a terrifying battle in his current position, he would rather hide and be a common Purple Moon Warrior.
Now, he had to seek protection from the Agnes family. He no longer desired a higher position. He would rather be the safest dog that stayed by his master's side.
Because what brought him great fear was not only the shocking battle, but also the last move of the person who could control the gun.
Before he left, he pointed at him and Arhan felt like his head was struck by a heavy blow, causing him to lose consciousness.
However, when he woke up, he was shocked to realize that he was unscathed and no one was there to capture him.
Was this a good thing? It was definitely not a good thing! Arhan was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. His sharp senses picked up the scent of being targeted.
He was like a delicacy that was purposely left behind. Was he waiting for a fate worse than death?
With that in mind, Arhan sprinted even faster. As a Purple Moon Warrior, his speed was undoubtedly outstanding.
However, Arhan kept feeling like there was a soft footstep following him.
The feeling was faint at first, but it grew clearer and more obvious as time went by.
Damn it, why didn't I hear any footsteps? Arhan cursed in his heart. He started to panic. Could it be a ghost?
He turned around, but there was nothing behind him.
It was an illusion … I'm just frightened. That was what Arhan thought. Then, he clearly heard footsteps landing in front of him.
What?! Arhan turned around, sweating profusely. He saw a figure in a black robe standing less than 20 meters away from him under the blurry light of the street lamps.
Who is it?!
Arhan's heart almost jumped out of his chest, but when he got a clear look at the face, he could not help but chuckle.
Who did he think it was? It was Tang Ling!
Yes, Tang Ling was a very important person, but no matter how important he was, he was just a New Moon Warrior. How dare a New Moon Warrior stop him?
One thing worth noting was that Arhan was a rank 2 Purple Moon Warrior and had almost reached the threshold of a rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior.
"Move, if you don't want to die," Arhan said in a heavy tone with a gloomy face.
A sense of mockery flashed over Tang Ling's eyes. In the next moment, his body shook and he vanished on the spot.
Transient Steps? Arhan immediately reacted, but he didn't have time to think. Before he could think, his body instinctively retreated and he also used Transient Steps.
He dodged it! He stopped in his tracks. There was a short pause between Transient Steps.
But where was Tang Ling? Where was he?
The moment the thought popped up in Arhan's mind, he suddenly saw a black figure appear before his eyes and an enlarged fist appeared in front of him.
"You're asking for it!" Arhan reacted quickly and countered Tang Ling's punch with his own.
Even if Tang Ling had learned Transient Steps, strength was a basic ability that required time and resources. Would he dare to compete with a Purple Moon Warrior?
In an instant, the two fists collided in the air and a loud bang was heard, causing dust to fly everywhere.
A sharp pain came from Arhan's right fist. In shock, he looked at the standard armor he was wearing. The armguard on his right arm started to show wavy stripes.
"You're the one who has a death wish.
"Isn't it time for you to repay the blood debt of the settlement?"
