Chapter 295: Chapter 154: Formidable Enemy: Huo Rong!_2

"The Fortress has activated the Spiritual Energy Disaster Level One Response Protocol. All levels close their gates, cut off communication, and activate automatic firepower across the entire Upper City region! At all costs, we must hold out for forty minutes!"

"Immediately transfer the Fortress Governor and the Commander to the eighth-level safe house."

"Yes!"

More responses were quickly echoed through the expanding communication channel.

Lingtong, carrying Wang Jixuan, had just rushed to the sixth level, while Wan Xiaoqi, driving the supply truck, chased after them from behind, shouting urgently,

"Commander! We’ve just received a video! It’s sent by the enemy! The Spiritual Ability User falling from the sky will reach the ground in three minutes, code-named Huo Rong! Ranked 19th among S-class known users! Expert in Fire Element abilities, who once exterminated a King-level Blade Beast by herself! A venerable monster from the same era as Xing Dian!"

"Sudden detection of over a hundred Spiritual Ability Users’ signals at the outer perimeter! All are A or B level, and there are groups of their shuttles underground!"

"They will attack the camp within three minutes after Huo Rong reaches the ground!"

Lingtong’s expression remained calm as she clung to Wang Jixuan and leaped into the supply truck with its rear door open, where Wang Jixuan was then grabbed by Deep Sea in the back seat.

Wang Jixuan: ...Actually, I can walk.

"Play the video first."

...

Sizzle.

The projection screen flickered slightly, revealing a ’young’ woman clad in a red gel suit, hands on hips, coldly sneering,

"Hello there, residents of number 76 Fortress in the Middle Ages Basin."

"I’m sorry to inform you that half of you will meet death within the next twenty minutes."

"Let me tell you what we will do here."

"I will fall from the sky, destroy your ground defenses, and then these powerful, righteous, adorable great Spiritual Ability Users I bring will effortlessly destroy all your defense systems from the first to the sixth level."

"Then, we will reach your eighth level, which is your water reservoir, right? We will release a rapidly spreading virus there, killing a minimum of forty percent of the humans inside the Fortress. Note, a minimum of forty percent."

"If you wonder why we are so radical, actually, this is a form of punishment."

"D5 Combined Combat Zone has been provoking Spiritual Ability City recently, severely affecting our positive image in human society."

"Led by Fu Jian, the military Dominion Faction refuses to embrace progress, view the relationship between Spiritual Ability Users and humans with a more open perspective, willfully tears up mutual agreements, destroys the hundreds of thousands of Crystal Cores that rightfully belong to us, denies our contributions in fighting Blade Beasts, and furthermore, aims to achieve military dictatorship over all humanity."

"Our actions today are necessary and a must."

"Fu Jian and his cronies even killed many of our responsible high-ranking officers who were painstakingly cultivated for you, which has severely crossed our bottom line."

"Therefore, this sanction is warranted."

"Furthermore, you’re hiding something in this Fortress, aren’t you? You are not obedient. Based on various intelligence we’ve obtained previously, it reveals that you have secret factories here, producing some peculiar things. I know, you’re certainly destroying those things now, but it doesn’t matter."

"As long as you produce these things, we will continue to attack."

"Whether it’s here, there, or the General Command Center of your Commander-in-chief, nobody can challenge Spiritual Ability City’s authority over the interpretation of ’Spiritual Ability,’ even if it costs us dearly."

"Remember, we kill you because you overstepped, not because we are cruel."

Huo Rong lightly blinked her eyes.

The projection screen flickered gently, and then it disappeared.

In the supply truck heading toward a corner of the sixth level, everyone was silent.

Lingtong said, "Arrogant, fits my stereotype of high-level Spiritual Ability Users."

"They want to destroy this place," Deep Sea, clad in the Battle Blade Set, frowned and said, "This is a retaliatory action, and it’s clear they’re targeting the Demon-breaking Dagger."

Lingtong said, "After all, the Demon-breaking Dagger has broken their monopoly on Spiritual Energy, also making them feel panic."

"There’s another point."

Wang Jixuan took a light breath, his shoulder wound already starting to heal:

"This video must have been pre-recorded."

"They are explaining their motives, which is a show of force, as well as a threat to other Combined Combat Zones, showing that the desperate Spiritual Ability City can only intimidate human society by creating panic, delaying the time they are held accountable."

"They’re telling everyone that we’re not just Spiritual Ability Users; we also have a virus capable of killing an additional forty percent of the remaining population... really despicable!"

"But now, Xing Dian has escaped."

"We can reasonably assume that this Huo Rong is already aware of the awakened Spirit Cultivator in the number 76 Fortress, making her even more motivated."

Deep Sea asked, "So, shall we immediately deploy a transport ship, pretending to transfer the awakened Spirit Cultivator to lure them away?"

"The opponent’s original plan is to destroy this place."

Lingtong swiftly retorted:

"Even with such a tactic, we could only lure away a small part of their forces at most, and it’s uncertain whether the opponent is interested in the awakened Spirit Cultivator or if Xing Dian has already shared the information."

"What we need to do now is to safely transfer Wang Zheng."

Deep Sea said resolutely, "We can’t go far in a few minutes!"

Lingtong immediately countered, "Then lure the enemy into the Upper City of the Fortress and engage in street battles, while using Ji Xiao’s ability to get Wang Zheng out!"
