Chapter 219: Chapter 87 How Many Composite Battalions Are There in Huadu?

Meanwhile, 20 kilometers away.

Jin Zhong, the commander of the Fourth Guard Brigade of the Mechanical God Sect, draped in a blood-stained cloak, was leading the remaining 50 soldiers of the Fourth Guard Brigade, moving deeper into the eastern Jinling Ruins.

All the soldiers had removed their helmets; for them, this was a kind of ritual when carrying out a "doomed" mission.

Of course, they also understood that when facing the enemies they were about to confront, helmets, and armor were meaningless.

In fact, even the weapons in their hands were meaningless.

How could anyone stand against those terrifying enemies?

Monsters that nearly two thousand Mechanical God Sect warriors couldn’t kill were just a matter of a few artillery shells for those enemies.

Even now, Jin Zhong couldn’t figure out how those "Mimic Heretics" managed to do it.

Indeed, the artillery possessed by the Mechanical God Sect had a range far beyond a few kilometers.

In some situations, when the Mechanical Soul of the artillery was pleased by a Priest, it could achieve an astonishing range of tens of kilometers.

However, that was a very rare occurrence.

And in those situations, the accuracy of the shelling couldn’t be guaranteed at all.

You couldn’t see the target, you couldn’t see the impact point, so how could you know where the shell landed, and how could you know how to make adjustments?

Jin Zhong once suspected that this accuracy had something to do with the "iron birds" or "drones" used by those Mimic Heretics, but upon reflection, he realized that if it was just an observation device, setting up a reconnaissance team at the shell impact point could achieve the same effect.

This was definitely not the key to the problem; they must have mastered some kind of technology that he couldn’t understand...

Jin Zhong was very curious about this technology, but he also knew he’d probably never glimpse its secrets.

Because the two sides were effectively enemies.

Even if they weren’t enemies, they were at least opponents.

And opponents would never share the technology they possess with you...

Thinking of this, Jin Zhong let out a long sigh.

He raised his head, and after seeing the road ahead clearly, he spoke:

"There are still 20 kilometers to the core of Jinling Ruins, and there are no signs of monsters ahead."

"Everyone, speed up; we must reach there before dawn."

"Although it’s unclear whether those Mimic Heretics have already occupied the treasure vault within the ruins, this is our last chance."

"If we could..."

At this point, Jin Zhong sighed and didn’t continue to speak.

No ’if’.

Everyone could see the commotion within the ruins.

The violent explosions, the overwhelming vibrations, and the abruptly changed terrain...

They must have already occupied the treasure vault and activated the treasure within.

The mission of his squad had no significance from the start; it was nothing more than the dying struggles of the lofty figures.

----But even so, he still couldn’t give up.

This was the last mission of his life.

No matter what, he had to be worthy of the high and mighty Trinity Supreme...

Jin Zhong’s steps became more determined, while his temporarily promoted adjutant walked worriedly to his side, then asked:

"Commander, do we really have to go?"

"We’ve all seen the opponent’s strength; they aren’t even afraid of Second-level Monsters. If we go, it might just be... sending ourselves to death."

"This isn’t the guidance of the Trinity Supreme; it’s just those lofty figures’ absurd orders. We’re loyal to the Trinity Supreme, but not necessarily to them..."

"Shut up!"

Jin Zhong rebuked sternly, then said:

"This is our fate!"

"We have no other choice; we must go!"

"Jinling City is facing an unprecedented threat. If we don’t figure out what kind of power the opponent already possesses, the entire Jinling City might be destroyed overnight!"

"Almost all the Holy Blood have already gone to the northern battlefield; it’s up to us!"

"Don’t worry, as long as we’re not discovered by them..."

"Bang, bang, bang----"

Before Jin Zhong could finish his sentence, a burst of violent gunfire suddenly rang in his ears.

He instinctively turned his head, wanting to see which careless soldier pulled the trigger, but after a moment of confusion, he suddenly realized that the gunfire came from...

The sky!

Jin Zhong looked up in shock, and at that moment, several beams of strong light descended from the sky.

Accompanying them was a calm yet unquestionable voice.

"You have entered Huaxia territory. Lay down your weapons and surrender on the spot, or I will take strong measures to expel you!"

"This is the first warning and the last warning!"

"Lay down your weapons!"

As the voice fell, Jin Zhong’s adjutant instinctively wanted to raise his weapon.

But at that moment, Jin Zhong suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.

He realized that resistance now had no meaning.

His mission was merely to venture forward and uncover the intelligence at the core of Jinling Ruins.

And since that place was already controlled by those Mimic Heretics, why should he enter by means of ’confrontation’??

The two sides had not yet torn their faces!

At least he hadn’t!

He had met with their leader once, and during that meeting, both sides had shown extreme restraint.

This time, he believed it would be the same.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have given him a chance to warn him!

With his mind racing, just as the squad was about to fire back, Jin Zhong suddenly raised both hands high and shouted:
