Li Yao's previously dry eyes were filled with hope again. Taking a deep breath, he was about to speak when he coughed so hard that thousands of arrows seemed to be piercing through his abdomen!
Next to them, more Secret Sword Agents were charging close. Many of them had even put on the Crystal Suit and entered the battle state!
Lu Zui's thunderous roars were echoing in every Secret Sword Agent's communication channel. "What are you waiting for? Capture him now! "
The human wall made of the disabled veterans was broken apart by the Secret Sword Agents more than easily. + ※
But they did not realize, or rather, they did not have the time to care even if they did, that their actions would raise the crazy reactions of the fearless old thorns!
"What's the meaning of this? A war is about to break out!"
Zhang Danao, the old cannoneer, was furious. He simply took off his military uniform, revealing his skinny body that was full of scars and claw marks. Taking out a crystal megaphone, he roared at the top of his voice, "Something is definitely wrong with those bastards. We cannot let them steal our captives!"
"Brothers of the Crystal Cannon Brigade of the 55th army, follow me!"
After Zhang Danao's roar, the dozens of old men around him, who had lost limbs and were wrinkled, seemed to have been injected with ten times the exhilaration and returned to the golden years decades ago. Waving bottles of water, shopping bags, and artificial limbs, they charged forward together with Zhang Danao, as if they were surrounded by dozens of young, vigorous men!
A lot of veterans further away did not know what was going on at the beginning, but for the sake of the 'victory parade', all the veterans were wearing short-distance communicators and established an independent communication channel. It was something that Lu Zui could not interfere with the Spiritual Nexus however hard he tried!
For a moment, roars were echoing in the veterans' communication channel.
"Somebody is attacking our veterans in the front!"
"It's the sneaky brats of the Secret Sword Bureau!"
"They've rebelled!"
"Are there any veterans of the 35th army? Our men are suffering losses in the front. We need reinforcements! We need reinforcements! "
"The 35th Division is not here. The 171st Division of the 29th Division is here. They will be here soon. Hold on!"
The first wall made of dozens of seasoned soldiers was crushed easily, but the second wall made of hundreds of seasoned soldiers was pushing forward slowly but firmly. Behind the second wall, the disabled veterans from different towns and cities who did not know each other before were quickly forming a third wall.
No … it wasn't a city wall. It was an ocean, a massive wave of steel and iron!
The few hundred Secret Sword Agents were mired in the ocean of veterans and soon lost the ability to move. At a loss, they hesitated and stared at the flags in front of them that represented the proud history of the veteran troops, but they could not see clearly where Li Yao was hidden behind the flags!
"What are you doing?!"
Lu Zui's furious voice came through the communication channel. "Why haven't you done anything yet?!"
The Secret Sword Agents looked at each other in bewilderment, lost for words.
Even the craziest person among them did not know how they should attack in such a situation.
It was one thing for the crystal cannons of the crystal warships to accidentally hurt dozens of innocent people. There was a professional term for it — 'collateral damage'.
However, to cut down the howling veterans with chainswords? This, this, even the most deranged person would not dare to do this!
Right when they were caught in a dilemma, a few earsplitting noises burst out in the sky. Ding Ling Dong and Wu Mayan had both noticed that the situation had changed. They got rid of their opponents and broke out of the building!
"Don't let them take him away! It's Li Yao! Vulture Li Yao! "
Ding Lingdang fully carried out the specialties of the Explosive Fiery Tyrannosaur. She roared at the top of her voice!
The name 'Vulture Li Yao' exploded above the hundreds of thousands of people's heads like thunder in spring. Everybody was dizzy, and their eardrums were aching.
"What's going on? Is Li Yao dead?"
"Didn't he die in the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau because of a crash?"
"I know her. She is' Crimson Queen 'Ding Ling Dong. What's going on? Who is she fighting? She said that Vulture Li Yao is not dead … and that he is among us? "
Apart from the disabled veterans, the majority of those who participated in the Victory Parade were high school and high school students. Among these hot-blooded youths, the valiant Ding Lingdang was extremely popular.
When she boosted her spiritual energy to the maximum in midair and unleashed the signature nine fiery dragons, she was immediately recognized by a lot of young people!
"Li Yao is not dead, but he is wounded. He needs protection. He needs all of us!"
Ding Ling Dong shouted without caring about anything. "We must not let Li Yao be captured by those guys. They are all bad guys!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below surged with even more excitement.
Most of the ordinary people did not have the ability to see through the truth.
But they could tell that the crystal warship in the sky was rather unusual because of the intense killing intent.
Also, many of them had seen a crimson shadow leaping into the sky and having a head-on clash with the ball of lightning, too.
Intuitively, they could vaguely sense that the figure was protecting them!
For the ordinary people, their fists were not powerful enough, they were not fast enough, their computational ability was not high enough, and their brains were not as agile as those of the Cultivators, either.
Maybe, there was nothing they could do in such a confrontation.
But at the very least, they could wave the flags in their hands and roar with the last bit of strength in their chests under the lead of Ding Ling Dong. Their voices swept across everything.
"Stop now!"
"What's going on? Explain yourself! "
"Is that Li Yao? Is that Li Yao? "
Their voices echoed in the entire central district.
The few experts of Jin Dan who had been dealing with Ding Ling Dong flew to the sky, too.
However, under the scorching eyes of millions of people, they did not know whether or not they should continue their deadly attacks.
The experts of Jin Dan, who had been training for a hundred years and could blow up a crystal tank with one punch, had never known that the eyes of so many ordinary people could trigger such a powerful force that seemed to be suppressing their beliefs directly!
While they were hesitating, Wu Mayan, whose body was covered in wounds, flew to Ding Ling Dong. He opened his arms and put on a bloodstained smile at the experts of Jin Dan on the opposite side.
"If you want to touch Masteress, you'll have to get through me first!"
"Brat!"
Ding Ling Dong leaned her back against his back and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine. I'm the man who is going to be the strongest qi-trainer in the legends!"
Wu Mayan shrieked. "Masteress, you can lead everybody to roar. The punching strength of those scumbags is not even one tenth of yours!"
As an unprecedented victory parade of the Federation, naturally, a lot of media outlets would film and report it.
If Lu Zui had taken care of Li Yao quickly and neatly in several minutes, it might not have been noticed by the media. Even if it had been noticed, there would have been ways to cover it or even erase it.
However, it had been too long, and the scene had become too big!
The reporters and cameramen of almost a hundred media outlets all squeezed to the center of the chaos in a hurry. Those who could not make it in time fled to the skyscrapers on the two sides of the street, trying to find a good vantage point.
The confrontation between the Secret Sword Agents and the veterans was captured clearly by them.
Of course, at this time, the so-called "confrontation" was just the disabled veterans unilaterally teaching those "good-for-nothing brats" a lesson.
On Hidden Star …
Looking at the chaotic situation down below and the faces of soldiers, students, merchants, employees, and teachers on the hundreds of light beams under the flapping red flags, Lu Zui's eyes seemed to have lost their focus.
He was gnashing his teeth, at a loss, furious, and desperate, as if a bottomless hole had appeared at the center of his face and swallowed all his facial organs and expression.
Shivering, he extended his hands, trying to grab a nonexistent straw, but he seemed to have grabbed a burning rod. He quickly retracted his hands, only to find that he had nowhere to put them and could only crouch in front of his chest like the claws of a mouse.
"Open fire. Blow him up. Blow him up!"
Lu Zui mumbled.
There was nothing but silence in the command cabin. All the crew members, all the cannoneers, and all the 'patriots' knew clearly that they were doomed.
Firing the cannons right now would cause irreparable consequences, and whether or not they could reverse the disastrous situation.
Even if they were to fire the cannons, where should they fire at?
In the square in front of the parliament building of the Federation, at least ten thousand Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flags and ten times more flags of schools, troops, and civil organizations were waving.
All the flags were equally colorful, equally scorching, and equally flapping in the wind!
Li Yao was hiding right below one of the flags among the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.
Fire? Who?
The 'patriots' slumped on their chairs lethargically and stared at Lu Zui in a daze, not moving at all.
On the street …
Li Yao was protected by countless hands. At least a hundred flags covered him and the hundreds of veterans nearby. Many people were asking at the same time.
"Are you Li Yao?"
"Are you really Vulture Li Yao? You are not dead. What happened exactly?"
"Why did the Secret Sword Bureau arrest you? What did you do? "
Li Yao did not know how he should answer.
After several minutes of catching his breath, he gradually came back to himself and regained the strength to talk.
But he still could not think, not because of weakness but because his brain had been occupied by something else that was even more furious, scorching, and exhilarating!
From all directions, the roars, sweat, passion, and fury of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people were congregated into enormous mental tides that bashed his brain brutally, purging his soul and polishing his belief!
Such tides made his eyes red and swollen, and his nose sour and dry. He could not speak even if he opened his mouth. He could only let out the most primitive, rough, and authentic roars!
He had experienced such a feeling several times in the Flying Star Sector and on Iron Plateau.
The Iron Plateau natives named such a phenomenon as Battle Soul Resonance!
Right now, Li Yao felt that his soul was vibrating, mixing, and rushing together with the souls of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people!
The feeling was ten times, a hundred times, and a thousand times more intense than the Battle Soul Resonance on Iron Plateau!
