Chapter 1 The Eastern Camp

The eastern camp of Wangyue Plain, the temporary garrison of the 16th Regiment of the Tianlong Guild.

Compared to Qiancheng Xue's forces, this lineup was even more luxurious. Seven hundred first-generation Green Shield mechs ready to go, twelve second-generation Black Steel mechs, more than a thousand main battle tanks, rocket vehicles, and other weapons.

The assembled combat players numbered as many as one hundred thousand.

In the center of the gathering troops, heavy transport vehicles were parked, with tarpaulins tightly covering them.

Inside was loaded the most important and mysterious material of this operation.

Outside the command room, Chen Shan, fully armed, strode in, pushed open the door, and shouted to Xiao Wen.

"The troops are almost assembled."

"What about Qiancheng Xue and the others?"

Xiao Wen asked while looking at the Qilong Plain map.

"I've already contacted them. They've already set off and should be arriving here soon, but..."

Chen Shan hesitated at the end.

"But what?"

"It's just that this trip is extremely dangerous, and Qiancheng Xue's troops weren't formally conscripted. It seems they won't be able to enjoy post-war compensation, and it'll be very troublesome to apply for merit later. Are we going to screw them over?"

"I know that, but don't worry. Their losses can be covered by our regiment. We'll just forgo the compensation. But we must complete the mission from above. The situation in Qilong City is already extremely difficult. The weapons we're transporting this time are crucial. Success is the only option! Otherwise, it might lead to the collapse of the whole situation."

Xiao Wen's expression became even more serious as he spoke.

"We're transporting from the rear, so the risk shouldn't be too high, right? Why do you seem so worried?"

"Look at the map. Of the twelve cities surrounding Qilong City, we originally split them in the middle, each occupying half. Now we only have four cities left, and it's said that the shoreline of the Tianji Canal is about to be lost, so even though we have four cities left, two of them are already on the verge of collapse, which means the enemy can easily bypass us to our rear. The frontline troops are having a hard time protecting themselves, so there's no way to spare extra forces to ensure the safety of the rear."

Xiao Wen pointed at the map and analyzed the situation to Chen Shan.

"Headache, but luckily, we still have a third-generation mech as our trump card."

"That's what I'm thinking."

Xiao Wen nodded.

At this moment, a messenger walked in and saluted.

"Report!"

"Speak."

Xiao Wen turned his head and replied.

"Qiancheng Xue's troops have arrived nearby and are about to join us."

"Let's go!"

Xiao Wen said to Chen Shan.

-------------------------------

Outside the camp, Xiao Wen and Chen Shan stood at the rendezvous point, gazing into the distance.

They saw Qiancheng Xue's troops approaching in a mighty array.

Chen Shan was a little surprised when he saw it.

"Am I seeing things? How do they have so many weapons? Not to mention anything else, the number of first-generation mechs alone is at least three hundred. You have to know that the game has progressed to this point, and most people have emptied their savings. This weapon armaments scale is almost half of ours."

"This is really an unexpected surprise."

Xiao Wen also didn't expect Qiancheng Xue to develop so well. However, Xiao Wen also felt a little guilty. With so many weapons, could he afford to compensate them later?

At this moment, Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue, piloting third-generation mechs, quickly left the team and landed in front of Xiao Wen and Chen Shan in an instant.

The terrifying biological aura of the third-generation mech, Yuan Mo, instantly changed Xiao Wen and Chen Shan's expressions, and they subconsciously took a step back.

Then the two reacted, this was a new third-generation mech!

A look of horror appeared in their eyes, and they were so surprised that they couldn't speak.

"This..."

They knew that third-generation mechs weren't as common as cabbages. How much noise was made when they first got the Blade of Slaughter? And it hasn't subsided yet, and this mech in front of them looks even stronger.

Then the cockpits of the two third-generation mechs opened, and Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue jumped out.

"Commander Xiao Wen, Lord Chen Shan."

Qiancheng Xue greeted politely.

"Is this the new third-generation mech you guys got?"

Xiao Wen, who was usually extremely calm, was also flustered at the moment. Although he was shocked that Su Mo and the others snatched the Blade of Slaughter before, at least he could figure out the reason.

But it's only been a few days, and they got another one. When did third-generation mechs become like cabbages, just casually getting another one?

Su Mo felt a little embarrassed when he heard Xiao Wen ask. This mech was obtained from Haifeng Island. If he told them, he wondered how wonderful their expressions would be.

Qiancheng Xue humbly said to the side: "Su Mo got it."

"Bro, you're too awesome. With two third-generation mechs, this mission will definitely be no problem."

Chen Shan patted Su Mo's shoulder and praised him excitedly.

"Ahem, it's okay."

Su Mo replied modestly.

Xiao Wen took a deep breath, calmed his shocked mood, and said to Qiancheng Xue: "Since everyone is here, let's set off. By the way, in order to achieve unexpected results, you park your mechs on the transport vehicles and cover them with tarpaulins."

"May I ask, sir, will there be an ambush on the road?"

"It's not certain yet, but most likely there will be, because the things being transported are very important."

"What things?"

Su Mo asked subconsciously.

Qiancheng Xue quickly looked at Su Mo and reminded him softly.

"Su Mo."

Generally speaking, this is all top-secret information that cannot be inquired about casually. It is easy to commit a taboo, and you may even be labeled as a spy.

However, Xiao Wen trusted Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue very much. He lowered his voice and replied: "It doesn't matter. We are transporting weapons, which are used to support the main battlefield. But this is all a cover. The most important thing is that there are five nuclear mines hidden inside."

Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue took a deep breath.

"Then why not choose to use an airstrike? Why choose to transport them at risk?"

Qiancheng Xue asked in confusion.

"Our air supremacy is basically suppressed, so we can't drop them."

Chen Shan replied helplessly.

"Understood, then let's set off."

........

--------------------------------------------------

Two days later, on a winding mountain road, a mighty army was heading north.

Drones circled nearby, scouting everything around to ensure road safety.

On the mountain to their right, in a pile of weeds, a pair of red eyes lit up, and a micro mechanical spider crawled out, its red eyes constantly rotating, transmitting the images it saw back.

In a hidden valley in the distance.

A short-haired girl wearing single-soldier mechanical armor and a cigarette in her mouth looked at the transmitted images and said excitedly, showing her white teeth.

"Got them, Kevin!!!"

At this moment, a steady and reliable man walked over and said.

"Liga, has the target appeared?"

"It appeared, but the opponent's strength seems to be very good. There are more than a dozen second-generation mechs alone, and the scale of the first-generation mechs is estimated to exceed a thousand."

Liga said with a smile.

"Are you scared?"

Kevin walked straight towards his mech and said.
