A gentle night breeze caressed Lu Nange as she casually leaned against the wall of the watchtower, her stray hairs swaying gently.

Wen Qing stood beside her and asked softly, "Nan Nan... how many people do you think they'll bring? And how strong is the person behind it? Could it be..."

Lu Nange withdrew her gaze from the deep night and gently patted Wen Qing's hand.

"Don't worry, Sister Wenqing. We're prepared, and besides, this is our territory, we have the upper hand. We'll take as many as they come."

Wen Qing: "But we know nothing about them, what if..."

Sitting on a folding chair, holding Zhizhi, Lu Beiye said, "That's why they underestimated us, Sister Wenqing."

Lu Nange reached out and ruffled her younger brother's hair: "Aye is right. Last time we fought, the other party was very arrogant."

These kinds of people love playing cat and mouse games. They won't reveal their hand right away, and naturally, they won't mobilize all their forces to deal with us.

This is a good thing for us!

Wen Qing sighed: "Those ability users we brought back last time died without explaining anything... It's such a pity, otherwise we could have at least found out some details about them!"

"It's alright, we'll face off sooner or later!" Lu Nange gestured towards the area below the watchtower: "Relax, look at our lineup, we're guaranteed to win!"

Wen Qing followed her gaze and saw twenty Flameheart ability users scattered in a fan shape around them.

Looking further down, there were forty more comrades standing ready, each with a burning fighting spirit in their eyes.

"Gah—beauty, you're safe!" Gangzi swept over their heads, its wings stirring up a gentle breeze.

Reports from various sentry posts came through the walkie-talkies.

Lu Xici: "Watchtower No. 10, in position."

Gu Wan: "Number seven, take your positions."

He Zhuo: "Number three is in position."

......

After the last sentry finished reporting, Chi Yanzhou's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Turn off the searchlights. Everyone, remain silent and await further orders."

"receive!"

In an instant, all the searchlights on the sentry posts went out, and the entire base seemed to be swallowed up by the night.

Only the pale moonlight shone down, outlining the contours of the walls and watchtowers.

Lu Nange closed her eyes, and her spiritual power spread outward like ripples.

Shi Xu's spiritual power also extended from another direction, and two invisible nets covered every corner of the base's perimeter in the night sky.

The rest of the people held their breath, staring intently at the monitor screens in their hands. In the darkness, only the howling of the night wind and the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard.

Time passed second by second, until the early hours of the morning, when Lu Nange and Shi Xu opened their eyes at the same time.

"Attention, all personnel..." Lu Nange's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Approximately thirty vehicles are approaching the base."

Almost simultaneously, Shi Xu's warning came through the walkie-talkie: "Northwest direction, three kilometers, all heading straight for the gate!"

The entire base instantly went into combat mode.

Chi Yanzhou raised his night-vision binoculars and saw dust billowing in the distance as a convoy sped towards them...

"Looks like they're very confident, charging straight at our gate under cover of darkness! The sentry post is now in the vice-captain's hands' hands. Everyone, assemble at the gate!"

"receive!"

After a quick handover, Lu Xici and his group leaped down from various watchtowers, and vehicles sped through the night.

Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, Gu Wan, He Zhuo, Shi Xu... everyone was converging in the same direction at this moment.

On the gate watchtower, Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, and Wen Qing quickly stood up.

Wen Qing and the other Flameheart ability users already had their fingers on the trigger...
