With rumbling footsteps, the phalanxes participating in the victory parade appeared in front of the millions of citizens.
In front of the first square formation, three flag bearers were waving three battle flags.
Aside from the Earth flag that represented Dragon City and the Raging Dragon Flag that represented the Red Dragon Army, the third flag had a broken saber that was dripping with blood.
The paint on the war flag seemed to have a fluorescent effect.
Even though the military saber was broken in the middle and there were seven or eight cuts on the blade, the hot blood still radiated a dazzling light wherever it went.
Under the Broken Blade War Flag, the warriors that formed the first square formation all looked old, and there were even a few white-haired elders.
Besides, everyone in the square formation was injured. The ones with the lightest injuries had a mechanical arm or a mechanical leg. Some of them had their eyes corroded by the monsters' acid and turned into empty holes. They had to implant miniature cameras that shone with red light into their eyes, and it looked like frozen flames were embedded in their eyes.
Because of the different parts of their body that were injured, it was very difficult for them to step too uniformly.
However, the murderous aura that soared into the sky still condensed into a Battle Soul that seemed to have materialized, causing the millions of citizens to instantly realize their identities.
"Blade Gang!"
"It really is the legendary Blade Gang!"
"Only the Blade Gang is qualified to walk at the forefront of all the phalanxes in the victory parade!"
Including Bai Jiacao, the one million citizens stared at the murderous, disabled veterans with only zeal and respect in their eyes.
The Blade Squad could be said to be an organized armed force with the longest history after Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World.
It was even the last "seed" of the regular army of the Earth Era that had been passed down to this day.
More than half a century ago, when Dragon City had just transmigrated to the Other World, they had at least one hundred thousand regular soldiers.
However, the transmigration caused the world to be overturned, the flooding caused by Red Dragon River, the waves of death caused by the spread of the zombie virus, the shattering of the seal in the ancient ruins, the infection of the ancient bacteria, and the ancient demonic creatures surging out from underground …
A series of catastrophic disasters, all of which the regular army used their precious lives to resist.
Compared to the weak zombies.
The merciless flooding of Red Dragon River and the activities of the ancient demonic creatures underground were the true disasters that could destroy Dragon City in one day.
At that time, the regular army risked their lives and advanced wave after wave, literally fighting to the last man standing.
Only then did he manage to suppress the Red Dragon River and the ancient ruins.
However, the inheritance of the regular army that originated from Earth was also severed.
Since there was no proper army to maintain order, Dragon City entered a lawless, bloody era that lasted for ten years.
When Blood Alliance collapsed, Battle God Lei Zongchao and the nine sects rose to power, and they decided to rebuild order.
Lei Zongchao's good friend, War God Wu Tiedao, who was also a Deity Realm superhuman and a former veteran, had managed to find a portion of the power left behind in the regular army and formed the Blade Squad. Then, after the Survival Committee was formed, the Red Dragon Army was formed with the Blade Squad as the core.
Wu Tiedao was believed to be the creator of the Red Dragon Army.
The Blade Squad was the foundation of the Red Dragon Army. They were the seeds that were passed down between the Red Dragon Army and the regular army on Earth.
The Blade Squad did not lose the spirit of a regular army on Earth.
Regardless of whether it was during the later stage of the zombie crisis or during the most devastating moments of the Monster War, the Blade Squad was always fighting the most dangerous enemies in the most dangerous battlefields.
There were a total of seven times when the Blade Squad charged forward without hesitation and died together with their enemies. Their entire squad was practically wiped out.
Every single time, even if they only had half a dying soldier left, they would grit their teeth and complete the mission. Then, they would receive the most elite soldiers as reinforcements and the most abundant supplies to rebuild the squad.
Up to this date, the Blade Squad was still the trump card of the Red Dragon Army.
The selection criteria were rather ridiculous. They had to be veterans who had survived hundreds of battles and were crippled before they could join the Blade Squad's training camp. They would go through the most brutal trials with the strictest standards.
The elimination rate of the trials was as high as 90%.
The crippled veterans chosen through this method might not be as strong as a superhuman squad that was made up of superhumans.
However, their indomitable willpower and determination to die were definitely above the latter.
And the spirit and glory they represented was not something that the Red Dragon Army or any of the mega corporations could compare to.
The Blade Squad lived up to its name as the military soul of the Red Dragon Army, no, all of Dragon City!
Following closely behind the Blade Squad was a heavy infantry square formation that the Red Dragon Army had just changed into.
If the Blade Squad represented the spirit of the Red Dragon Army …
Then this squad equipped with Type-56 heavy motorized armor was the manifestation of the Red Dragon Army's strongest fighting force.
Type-56 heavy motorized armor was the final equipment for individual soldiers created in batches after they won the northern offense and relied on the rich crystal resources from Shattered Starlake to Raging Waves.
Six high-purity crystals that could be changed were embedded in the shoulder pads, breastplates, strengthened plates at the abdomen, and greaves. With the profound and complicated runic symbols on the surface of the armor, they could release layers of spirit energy magnetic fields that could largely increase the wearer's vitality magnetic field. From there, they could stimulate the wearer's cells, dig out their potential, and largely increase their fighting strength.
When used together with the accumulative nano fighting suit, the wearer's maximum punching strength and one-hundred-meter dash speed would increase by more than 500%. They could even jump thirty meters away and withstand the impact when they landed heavily on the ground.
Because of it, the normal people equipped with Type-56 heavy motorized armor could bring out close combat abilities that did not lose to superhumans.
Besides, Type-56's modular design, plenty of ports, and sliding rails could also make it easy for them to carry all sorts of light and heavy firepower. They could carry all sorts of rocket launchers, six-barreled Vulcan guns, and triple-barrel shotguns with super large calibers.
If the wearer was strong enough, they could even carry two recoilless guns on their shoulders and carry an ammunition box that could automatically reload.
To fend against spirit energy magnetic field interference and strengthen mental warfare as well as network information warfare, the helmet of the Type 56 heavy motorized armor had a dense array of antennas. They extended into the helmet and connected to the wearer's cerebral cortex.
To protect the antennas, the helmet also had a protective shell that looked like a shark's fin.
From the distance, it looked like a black horn that rose into the sky.
Hence, the people called the Type-56 heavy motorized armor Black Horn Armor!
The development of the Black Horn Armor was not a secret.
Many of the netizens had long since seen pictures of the Black Horn Armor's prototype on military forums. They had even seen bits and pieces of the blueprint.
But it was only during the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City that a large number of Black Horn Battlesuits were equipped to the army and appeared on the battlefield in an organized fashion.
When three to five hundred Black Horn Armor soldiers gathered together to charge, they had the agility and mobility of infantrymen, but they were also equipped with armor that only tank squads had. They were invincible, and they could really fight against the monster horde that filled the sky.
Hence, when the video of the heavy-armored infantry soldiers equipped with the Black Horn Armor slaughtering the monster horde spread online, all of Dragon City was shocked.
After all, not everyone could awaken to supernatural abilities.
Perhaps the teenagers during the golden era had an environment with plenty of cultivation resources and had scientific cultivation methods, so their chances of awakening to supernatural abilities were above 5%.
But to the teenagers and middle-aged people who were already in their twenties or thirties and had missed the period of growth and development, unless they took special methods like the Deification Capsules that had great side effects, they would never be able to experience the feeling of being as fast as lightning and having great strength.
But the Black Horn Armor allowed them to see another path of evolution.
Even if they could not become superhumans, having a Black Horn Armor was pretty good!
Hence, when the Black Horn Armor unit slowly walked past the crowd, the citizens' zealous shouts were not any weaker than when the Blade Army had walked past them.
Even the Red Dragon Army's main battle tanks and runic symbol machines unit were warmly welcomed behind the Blade Army and the Black Horn Armor unit.
The Red Dragon Army welcomed true glory. Regardless of whether it was in Meng Chao's previous life or in the past twenty years, their situation was much better.
It had to be known that even though the Red Dragon Army was the largest armed force in Dragon City in name, it had always been in an awkward position.
Because the Other World had spirit energy, it was a world where individual strength differed greatly.
A Deity Realm superhuman could easily destroy a small fighting squad formed by more than one hundred fully-armored soldiers.
They could even appear out of nowhere and attack the army's supply lines, assassinate the army's commanders, and cause all sorts of trouble.
If the worst came to worst, if the Deity Realm superhuman missed an attack, they could flee far away, and it would be difficult for the army to catch up to them and kill them.
This created a really troublesome problem. The army could not restrain the powerful, but it could not shamelessly proclaim itself as the representative of the strongest fighting force in the entire civilization.
Besides, the Red Dragon Army was born weak.
This was because the regular army in the past had been wiped out in the battle against the flooding of Red Dragon River and the Ancient Demonic Creatures rampaging about.
For a total of ten years, Dragon Citizens could only gather around superhumans who had awakened to supernatural abilities. They formed clubs, gangs, and alliances to fight against the invasion of zombies and crazed robbers.
The powerful became stronger in the survival of the fittest, and they gradually broke through Earth Realm, Heaven Realm, and Deity Realm.
He also gathered most of the resources, including the spoils of war from Blood Alliance's defeat, the incredibly important ancient ruins, and the advanced technology.
Then, they turned from gangs to corporations, and from corporations to mega corporations. From there, they gained the right to set and explain the rules of the game.
Wu Tiedao might have rebuilt the Red Dragon Army, but he still faced the predicament of having no men, no money, and no resources.
This was a veteran who had joined the regular army since the Earth Era. His mind was filled with the thought that a soldier's duty was to obey. He had never thought of becoming a warlord to command the world.
Since Battle God Lei Zongchao had already convinced the nine great mega corporations to set up the Survival Committee to manage Dragon City's affairs,
Wu Tiedao naturally believed that the Red Dragon Army had to be controlled and supported by the Survival Committee to maintain stability and protect their civilization.
