In the fifteenth hour, the South City defense line shrank to only ten square kilometers. All the energy-gathering weapons were destroyed. The war consumed hundreds of millions of Holy Spirit Crystals, but it still could not reverse the defeat. The alien race's offensive momentum did not decrease but increased, while the human race had fallen into a trough in both strength and morale.

"Is this really how it is?" Jiang Yuan sat atop the source, overlooking the earth, and sighed repeatedly.

Nancheng suffered a complete defeat; its top-tier combat power was inferior to that of the alien race! Its lower-tier combat power was also inferior to that of the alien race!

"Jiang Yuan!"

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to make his move, a familiar voice rang out from the ruins. He looked closely and saw dozens of men in black robes.

"Lu Xingyu!" Jiang Yuan was extremely sensitive to auras and immediately recognized who was calling his name.

Lu Xingyu was originally a warlord's man, but because he was dissatisfied with Sima Sheng's inaction, he disappeared in Nancheng with a group of his subordinates. Since then, there has been no news of him. Even Liang Yuquan, who controlled the intelligence in Nancheng, never received any news about Lu Xingyu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingyu showed up today.

"Long time no see!" Jiang Yuan wasn't in high spirits, but he still jumped down from the source to meet the group.

"Aren't you surprised by my appearance?" Lu Xingyu raised his head, his eyes hidden beneath his black robe were extremely deep.

"What do you want from me?!"

Jiang Yuan doesn't have much time left, and there's no need to waste it on irrelevant people.

"I'm here to keep my promise!" Lu Xingyu grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, his eyes filled with arrogance, which was completely out of character for his attire.

"Fulfill your promise?" Jiang Yuan looked at Lu Xingyu with a puzzled expression.

Lu Xingyu turned to face the remaining seventeen people and smiled, "Brothers, the time has come when the people need us most. Do you still remember our faith?"

"Remember our mission, defend our homeland!"

The seventeen men in black robes roared authoritatively.

"If there's anything you need Major Jiang Yuan to bring, do it quickly. You only have three minutes!" Lu Xingyu was no longer smiling. At this moment, he was like a cold-blooded war god, with no other emotions in his eyes.

The seventeen men in black robes didn't move immediately, but one of them couldn't help but hand Jiang Yuan a letter hidden in his chest. "My only worry is my elderly mother. If there's a chance, I hope you can give this letter to her! Gancheng, Zhou Lejia!"

When the first person took out the envelope, the others followed suit, taking out items they had hidden close to their bodies. Some had a jade pendant, while others had a photograph.

"Su Cheng, Mao Yuxin!"

"Dongcheng, Xia Xing!"

"Spring City..."

Jiang Yuan held seventeen different tokens in his hand. He had a vague feeling that something was amiss; Lu Xingyu and his group were too strange.

Before he could ask, Lu Xingyu took out eighteen pieces of Demon God Blood, gave one to each person, and then said, "Brothers, it's time to hit the road!"

After saying that, Lu Xingyu took the lead in refining a piece of demon god blood, and the other seventeen people followed suit.

The degree of demonic transformation of the demonic fetus depends on the amount of demonic blood refined. Since soldiers are inherently resilient, even though a single drop of demonic blood has a demonic aura, they are not affected by the demonic transformation at all.

Who are you?

Jiang Yuan recalled the request he had made to Lu Xingyu before, which was to use their missiles, but that was a long time ago, and the spirit beasts nowadays were not afraid of ordinary missiles at all.

unless!

"Eastern Sword, in action!"

The eighteen men scattered in all directions, just as usual. The battle plan was kept completely secret, so secret that even Jiang Yuan didn't know what they wanted to do.

However, just as Jiang Yuan was about to chase after them, three minutes later, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the air amidst the beast tide, and powerful heat waves and rays instantly enveloped most of the southern city.

Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded. Just as he had guessed, this group of people really had come to do this!

When he examined the black robes worn by Lu Xingyu and the others, he discovered that the material was extremely special. It not only concealed their aura but also suppressed energy fluctuations to a certain extent.

Some also consume the blood of demon gods in order to transform into demonized beings and better infiltrate the beast tide.

Their goal was to detonate the nation's most important weapon—a fusion nuclear bomb—that they were carrying.

Boom! A second mushroom cloud rose up, and the extremely high temperature at the center, reaching hundreds of millions of degrees, instantly evaporated everything. Not to mention the True Spirit Realm, even the Heavenly Spirit Realm could not survive at such a temperature.

The Eastern Sword was the missile unit that appeared in the South City. Without communication and with the possibility of interception, Lu Xingyu and others chose to put the national treasure in a storage ring and then take it to the center of the beast tide to detonate it manually.

And for every mushroom cloud, the price is a life!
