"Quickly, quickly build defensive positions!" A forward commander said anxiously. "We cannot let a single troublemaker escape."

The soldiers immediately set up defensive fortifications on the spot, with multiple shaped charge cannons aimed at the exit.

A bitter look flashed in Xiaoman's eyes as she thought to herself, "This time, I've really messed up."

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a flagship hovered overhead, emitting multiple scanning beams.

"Those who cause trouble, immediately lay down your weapons and cease fighting!"

"Hands behind their heads, come out one by one."

As soon as the announcement from the air ended, the announcement from the ground began again: "You have two minutes. Anyone who does not surrender will be shot dead."

Mu Bai and the others stopped.

Looking at the severed limbs and bloodstains scattered on the ground, a chill ran down my spine, and my body trembled involuntarily.

"It's over, the Treasure Pavilion Exchange is completely finished." Wan Nu stumbled towards the exit, raising his hands high.

The people inside the exchange also followed them out.

Enkos walked at the very back, but the hellish scene kept replaying in his mind. His expression was solemn, and his brows were furrowed into a deep frown. "The hard work of more than a dozen generations has been destroyed in an instant. I am a sinner of the Treasure Pavilion, a sinner!"

Tears streamed down like a burst dam, and even the last vestige of ambition shattered completely.

Even if the Treasure Pavilion reopens in the future, Enkos and the others will not stay here, because the people on the ninth floor have lost their will to live.

"Arrest them all and hand them over to the Emperor for judgment," a general roared in fury.

The soldiers divided the group into several small teams and escorted them away.

dark place.

Xiaoman dared not move, observing the reactions of the officers. "They've arrested people, why haven't they withdrawn their troops yet?"

*Swoosh!*

Multiple beams of light emanated from the main ship, rapidly forming a large net that enveloped the entire Treasure Pavilion.

What are they trying to do?

Before you could figure it out, the soldiers rushed into the Treasure Pavilion at the same time.

“These people aren’t any better; they’re taking advantage of the chaos.” Xiaoman moved a little into the shadows. “With these people looting, what I did will be covered up. As long as martial law is lifted, I can leave this place.”

Just as Xiaoman had predicted, the treasures in the pavilion were looted.

All ground troops boarded the mothership and headed into space.

"As expected, everyone is greedy." Xiaoman stood up and moved towards where the fighter jets were parked...

More than twenty minutes later.

Xiaoman could already see her fighter jet and was just about to accelerate and rush over when she sensed energy fluctuations in the shadows.

"Is anyone there?"

As they slowly approached, they saw a suspicious-looking soldier carrying a bag, and five other large bags on the ground.

“This person is even more greedy than the others, wanting to monopolize all these resources.” Xiaoman smiled faintly. “Now that I’ve stumbled upon them, they’re mine.”

Suddenly, the man turned around sharply and stared at the spot where Xiaoman was.

"You're just scaring yourself. There's nobody here!"

The man stood up, grabbed the large package from the ground, and threw it on his back.

At the same time, Xiaoman rushed out quickly, her eyes flashing, and the man was frozen in place.

Two fingers touched his body.

The man could only move his eyes; he had no strength to even move a finger and was terrified.

Xiaoman didn't have time to pay attention to him. She opened the hatch and threw all the supplies inside.

Then they took the man's belongings, rushed to the fighter jet, and took off.

at the same time.

The ground trembled slightly, and a dark mass of Wang Weijun was rushing over.

When they arrived at the tarmac, Xiaoman was nowhere to be seen. The unfortunate man became the target of their anger, and was instantly beaten until his face was swollen like a pig's head before being taken away.

"Notify the Royal Air Force to pursue the escapee."

"Yes, sir."

The order was given, and the Royal Air Force gave chase, only to find that she had already activated her light-speed travel and was unable to pursue her.

"Ah!" The Air Force Commander-in-Chief was so angry he gritted his teeth and punched the alloy wall. "Don't let me run into you again!"

Hours later, in space.

Xiaoman has turned off the light-speed travel mode and started the self-driving mode, happily inspecting her spoils.

"A level three energy crystal core is useless."

I continued searching, but all I found were things that weren't very useful. I stared at the last package with a bit of disappointment.

As soon as it was opened, an ancient parchment fell out, with a line of ancient script written on it.

"Elf Empire, Interstellar Coordinate Map".

Below is a dense array of star points.

Xiaoman's eyes narrowed to slits, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Elven Empire, now that we have your interstellar coordinates, let's collect some interest before we leave."

Throw the parchment scroll in front of the AI ​​and let it replicate it.

The process was slow, but Xiaoman wasn't in a hurry; she was taking stock of the supplies.

Besides the energy crystal cores, there are many techniques and medicines that only Force users can use. The most valuable ones are three things that can easily destroy a planet.

"Beep beep, verification complete, coordinates locked, do you wish to teleport immediately?"

"etc."

After Xiaoman was ready to shuttle, she immediately gave the order to 'shuttle'.

......

Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom, Shennongjia, Headquarters.

“The enemy has been unusually quiet lately. I suspect they’re up to something.” Kang Zhonghua twitched his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

“I think so too.” Li Tianyi pointed to the sand table. “This place, and this place, are the easiest targets for the enemy to attack.”

Luo Yun's expression was solemn as he stared at two locations. "The enemy that has come this time is different from those before. Their long-range attack capabilities are too strong; the protective shield simply cannot withstand them. If we send troops over, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

I've studied this carefully, and the only way to hold these two strategic points is to deploy a special operations brigade.

"You want to exploit the time difference?" Kang Zhonghua shook his head. "Have you considered this? A person's physical strength is limited. What will you do if the enemy waits until you are exhausted before making their move?"

Luo Yun and Li Tianyi trembled.

"How about I send the assassin squad and the archer squad?"

"Over time, it will be just as unbearable."

The three of them smiled wryly and tried to think of other solutions.

Ring ring!

"Who's calling me at this hour?" Li Tianyi took out his personal phone, but the caller ID showed an unknown number. He frowned slightly as he answered, "Hello, who's looking for me?"

Are you worried about guarding key routes?

A look of wariness flashed in Li Tian's eyes. "Who exactly are you?"

Laughter came from the other end of the phone, "You can't even recognize my voice anymore?"

"Master Xuanqing?"

"It is this humble Taoist." Master Xuanqing put away his smile. "The five hundred marrow-cleansing practitioners you asked me to keep an eye on have all entered the Grandmaster realm. Using them to guard the key points will ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Good, good!" Li Tianyi laughed loudly, "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable, thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

"I am also a member of the Dragon Kingdom, this is my duty." After a pause, "I still have to teach the children, I'll hang up now."

After exchanging a few polite words, Li Tianyi began to study the defensive matters of the Grandmaster team...

Time flies, and half an hour has passed in no time.

"Dragon Soul, Gu Zhen (Yue Peng, Dao Lingtian) has come to report for duty."

Three imposing men stood ramrod straight, giving a military salute.

"You've come at just the right time." Li Tianyi returned the greeting and welcomed them to the sand table. "These are the two positions you need to defend. Tell me your thoughts."

Gu Zhen and Yue Peng frowned slightly, trying to think of a solution.

Dao Lingtian smiled, "This place may seem like two natural strongholds, but they're actually one unified unit. My suggestion is to place fifty men on the left flank and fifty on the right. The remaining four hundred men, like this..."

Before they could even finish listening, the others gave him a thumbs up, exclaiming, "Young man, you're amazing!"

"Follow Dao Lingtian's plan and act immediately," Li Tianyi decided.

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

After the three left, they immediately led their men to the pass...

On the other side.

Kil'jadan and Sako were studying the weaknesses of the Dragonkin when a Dark Elf soldier rushed in.

"The left and right flanks spotted the enemy, though in small numbers."

Kilgathan ordered, "Take men and wipe them out immediately."

"Yes!" The elven soldier was somewhat displeased, but dared not show it; a flash of hatred crossed his eyes as he turned away.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he muttered to himself, "I, a dignified Elven warrior, am being commanded by barbaric orcs. It's humiliating to even think about it."

“Who says otherwise!” another elven soldier smiled bitterly. “I really don’t know what Lord Yel is thinking, sigh!”

The two were even more annoyed, and their movement speed became very slow.

Because they were delayed, they missed the best opportunity to ambush the dragon soul.

Upon learning the news, Yale gave the two of them a sound beating.

"Send the sharpshooter battalion here immediately."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, a group of men completely shrouded in green cloaks appeared.

“The wind will surely pick up tonight. If we seize the opportunity, we can take the pass.” Yar said sternly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. “Let me make this clear: if we don’t take the pass, none of you will need to come back.”

"clear."

The archer squad members, their eyes resolute, turned and left.

Yale's expression darkened further as he turned to the shadows. "Go and assist them. If necessary, launch an attack."

An elf, enveloped in black light, nodded and vanished instantly.

"After tonight, there will be no more Dragon Kingdom!" A fierce killing intent flashed in Yell's eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips...

It was getting dark.

Sure enough, the wind picked up and blew towards the pass.

Before long, the wind grew stronger, the leaves shook violently, and dry branches kept falling.

The Dragon Soul members all looked toward the narrowest part of the pass.

Dao Lingtian realized a possibility, broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted, "Go to the reverse slope immediately, quick!"

The group moved with incredible speed and disappeared in an instant.

Suddenly, a black energy arrow appeared in the sky and plummeted down.

"The members of the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt teams go to the outer perimeter, and the rest of you release your internal energy outwards!" Gu Zhen said calmly.

The combined energy of five hundred grandmasters instantly formed a wall of energy.

The energy arrow exploded the moment it touched it.

The surrounding area was filled with extremely violent power, and many members of the Horizontal Kung Fu training group were knocked down.

"Fix it!"

The three responsible persons immediately led a team to fill the gap.

Just as the air wall formed, even denser energy arrows appeared in the sky.

It was already roaring even before it got close to the area.

Upon contact with the air barrier, a violent explosion occurred, the aftershocks raged, and all the nearby rocks were reduced to dust.

One or two aftershocks can be barely withstood, but when they accumulate, the front row struggles to hold on.

Gu Zhen looked behind him, "Transfer power!"

Everyone immediately transferred their internal energy to the person in front.

In this way, the aftershocks could no longer breach the air barrier...
