Chapter 504: Chapter 446: The Great Blood Sea Funeral

At 1 a.m., the NCER nuclear weapons base was fully lit, as bright as daylight.

Large amounts of military supplies and strategic weapons were transported into the base, everything processed according to wartime emergency management regulations. The battle had begun, with Nestor Corporation initiating a series of military operations. Frontline reports had yet to be summarized, but the current information was all unfavorable, putting the personnel at the NCER Base on high alert.

"The treacherous Nestor Corporation has declared war on us," Colonel Rigune, the base commander, gathered his subordinates at the NCER command center, giving orders to the unit commanders to boost morale, "We have been well-fed and enjoyed the salaries and benefits from Xisheng for a long time. Now is the time to put our training into action and fight to the death! Now follow my orders and take your medicine!"

The officers promptly took out the combat injections they had prepared in advance.

The injections were blood-red tinged with grey, mixed with biotech berserk drugs, adrenaline promoters, receptor agonists, and a small number of healing nanobots. Injecting themselves, they instantly became invigorated and highly spirited, ready to serve the company with their lives.

"Ugh oh oh!"

"Fight!"

"Hold NCER!"

Seeing his officers shed the bitter emotions brought by the frontline setbacks and transform into soldiers swearing to fight to the death, Colonel Rigune was very satisfied.

"Good, that’s the spirit!" Colonel Rigune clenched his fist, "We must carry forward the fine traditions passed down for 130 years by Xisheng Security Department, with mission at heart and spirit above all! Everyone must be vigilant and defend NCER at all costs, ensuring that these ’Wind Demon’ Missiles are ready. As soon as the minister gives the order, we will act according to the battle plan. Remember this well! I wish you good fortune in battle!"

"Kill!" The officers, their fighting spirit high, were willing to go through fire and water.

No matter what form the Nestor Corporation’s attack took, they would meet their adversaries with extraordinary combat strength. Corporate soldiers, mecha pilots, fire control managers, and cyber security troops were all on standby, ready to engage.

"Summon the Special Anti-Witch Squadron now!" Colonel Rigune ordered, and ten elite assassins, part of a new specialist unit recently established by the New Xisheng Group, quickly entered from the corridor.

They were well-trained and full of morale, ready for battle at any moment.

These elite warriors, the cream of the crop of New Xisheng’s corporate army, had been handpicked through rigorous selection, all trained in a mixture of Ninjutsu, basic magic formulas, and military combat techniques, armed with anti-material sniper rifles, specializing in infiltrating the battlefield to assassinate enemy Battle Witches.

"NCER First Corps First Special Warfare Company, Warrant Officer Akimoto Keisei reporting!" An elite special forces member stepped forward, his military boots making a sound as they hit the ground.

"Very well!" Colonel Rigune ordered an orderly to bring in a brand-new Witch Killer Armor, "This is the latest equipment prepared for front-line fighters by the Science and Technology Department! Use it to strike hard against the witches of the Nestor Corporation! For New Xisheng!"

Akimoto Keisei received the armor with proper attitude and quickly took hold of it.

Such a good armor, truly specialized for anti-witch purposes!

It was sleek and form-fitting, crafted from highly effective anti-magic power materials, combined with magic metal made by Ya Kou Liu Li, designed to weaken and slow the impact of magic power to shield from magic damage.

"For New Xisheng!" Akimoto Keisei shouted loudly, hugging the armor with his left arm and raising his right fist.

"For New Xisheng!" Colonel Rigune responded loudly, "Now, return to your post!"

Akimoto Keisei saluted Colonel Rigune with force.

A steadfast, unfading fighting spirit flared up in him, determined to crush Nestor Corporation underfoot for daring to wage war!

Akimoto Keisei turned around, putting on the armor. He had just fitted two-thirds of it on when he heard a loud, profound buzzing sound.

Swoosh—

He felt a sharp wind sweep past his body, the pain unbearable, as if a million blades had pierced him.

"Uh—uh ah..." His field of vision filled with the blood flowing from himself.

He recited the basic spells he had learned, instinctively starting to heal himself, yet he could not hear his own voice.

The armor detected its wearer’s life signs fading and quickly administered a Healing Injection into his torso, trying to tether his life. His skin was slashed by an abnormal method, followed by a dense pattern of stitch-like wounds appearing on his body.

What was happening?

Was he... had he been slashed by something?

Akimoto Keisei clenched his eyes shut, and upon reopening them, he noticed the command center had become eerily quiet.

It was so... so quiet, too quiet.

Akimoto Keisei stood still.

The vehement shouts, fervent fighting spirit, and wild pre-battle rallying all seemed like distant memories.

What had happened?

As if a gale had snuffed out a candle, all the intense emotions were extinguished, leaving behind only an exceedingly abnormal silence.

What on earth... what on earth had happened...

He was dizzy.

Akimoto Keisei heard a crashing noise, like a large chunk of meat hitting the ground, and when he turned his head, he saw the floor covered in blood, so much blood, too much.

He unconsciously turned slightly and saw his fellow nine special forces soldiers all frozen in place.

Then he saw it clearly.

The bodies of his comrades were cut open with precision, from head to toe, each part of their bodies subjected to fine and sophisticated slashes.

The first things to fall were their arms hanging in the air, followed by the collapse of their legs, and then their organs, which had been precisely chopped up: hearts, necks, bones, skulls, all strewn about in a mess, no longer moving.

Dead, were they dead?

Akimoto Keisei turned in horror, people were chopped into pieces, their bodies collapsing, including Colonel Rigune, everyone in the command center was dead, all of them.
