[16 hours until the fortress siege.]

Below the sand dune, Zheng Shiduo was clambering up and down with a strained smile, striving to complete the tasks set by Battle Girl Lingtong and Wang Jixuan: surveying the terrain and burying detectors.

Zheng Shiduo wore a collar around his neck.

It was a self-destruction collar, which did not hinder Zheng Shiduo from turning his head to observe his surroundings and offered some protection, but if someone pressed the remote controller, Zheng Shiduo’s head would explode with a bang.

"This is for you."

Battle Girl Lingtong handed a blue remote controller to Wang Jixuan and said softly,

"I’ve checked it. The energy loaded inside the self-destruction collar on Zheng Shiduo’s neck is enough to kill him ten times over.

"He was sent by the Commander.

"This remote control device is mainly for your peace of mind, Zhou Zhengde had him wear it. With this, you control his life and death."

Wang Jixuan was somewhat puzzled, "Why should I control his life and death?"

"He was sent to protect you," Battle Girl Lingtong shrugged her shoulders, "This guy is quite strong."

Master Wang’s expression suddenly became...

A Spiritual Ability User, to protect him?

And it was the same Spiritual Ability User who had once tried to interfere with Battle Girl Lingtong’s missions?

He really couldn’t understand the thinking processes of these people.

Battle Girl Lingtong stuffed the remote into his hand, turned around, and leaned back against the quad bike with him, watching a drone swoop low in the distance.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Is the upcoming battle going to be very dangerous?"

"This can be seen as their way of showing how much they value you," Battle Girl Lingtong smiled and said, "Spiritual Ability Users are like that, they obey whoever holds their life in their hands. Zheng Shiduo’s life is now controlled by the headquarters, and Spiritual Energy City has also handed over control of these Spiritual Ability Users."

"I still don’t trust him."

"Just keep an eye on him. He knows your secret identity."

Battle Girl Lingtong spoke quite casually,

"Zheng Shiduo is also my comrade-in-arms, although sometimes our positions differ."

"Alright," Wang Jixuan shrugged his shoulders, "I’ll put on my helmet later and operate under the identity of Black Storm, and make sure he doesn’t appear together with Wang Zheng."

"You’ll have to tell him yourself. I somewhat detest the smell on him."

"What smell?"

"The smell of a pervert."

Wang Jixuan remembered that crystal plug and couldn’t help but raise his hand to his forehead, suddenly at a loss for an appropriate comment.

He needed an idiom more severe than "utter chaos."

...

[14 hours until the fortress siege.]

The situation unfolded entirely according to Battle Girl Lingtong’s predictions.

Just after Wang Jixuan and his team finished surveying the terrain, news came from the northwest that a group of Blade Beasts had breached the defenses.

A group of about three hundred thousand Blade Beasts had broken through the line.

The human defenses were complex, encompassing sea, land, air, and even underground facilities.

After crossing the line, the group split into three: one group launched a stealth attack on the nearest fortress, another charged in a straight line to strike at nearby human defenses trying to tear a bigger gap, and the last group went underground, following a subterranean passage they had apparently burrowed at some unknown time, heading toward Fortress 76.

Approximately seventy thousand Blade Beasts would arrive near Fortress 76 in a few hours, suffering some losses along the way through underground minefields. Based on energy reactions, it was assessed that among them were two General Level Blade Beasts.

The United Defense Army was making efforts to cut off this group’s retreat, engaging the Blade Beasts in intense combat near the break in the defenses.

Weapons and various materials produced by the fortresses were being continuously transported to the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone defenses, being poured fanatically at the mass of Blade Beasts.

Several expansion areas outside the fortress had already been cleared, the fortress’s internal reserves were ready, the surface had several small fortresses fully built, and underground was a ring of fortress perimeter minefields several kilometers thick.

There was a limit to the burrowing ability of the Blade Beasts; they could only march fast at a depth of two hundred meters underground, using subterranean marches to avoid human long-range bombardment.

This was a contest between old rivals.

The military assessed that the target of the Blade Beasts was [Battle Girl Lingtong].

Battle Girl Lingtong had already stationed herself in the deserts outside Expansion Area C, where a bait military camp was being constructed. Aside from Battle Girl Lingtong and an elite combat squad, there were also a group of autonomous guards disguised as humans, and several dozen Spiritual Ability Users.

As part of Battle Girl Lingtong’s support team, Uncle Tai, Ms. Wan, Wan Xiaoqi, 주광문자[

е гледе од преди and Wang Jixuan were to remain at the supply station in Expansion Area C, ready to dispatch supplies at any moment.

The main components for transporting supplies, apart from two large mechanical dogs, included three heavy unmanned drones.

Expansion Area C had become a crucial firepower encampment arranged by the military, and it would inevitably also come under Blade Beast attack.

This location would also serve as the front line.

...

[9 hours until the fortress siege.]

Inside the supply station, Uncle Tai stood with his arms crossed in front of a huge projection screen, which centered on the ’bait military camp.’

In the middle of the screen, Battle Girl Lingtong was receiving a mechanical arm inspection from Ms. Wan.

"Look at these sand dunes."

Uncle Tai said with a smile,

"The Blade Beasts will likely wait until nightfall to launch their attack. They do not have eyes, so day and night are the same to them.

"This area will be the main battlefield. We need to inflict maximum casualties on the Blade Beasts. Expansion Area C over here will serve as the main force supporting this bait operation."

"Each time the Blade Beasts launch a large-scale offensive, they have a specific combat objective, calculate our firepower, and conceal their own firepower. For the Blade Beasts, as long as their mission is accomplished, the death toll among the Basic Blade Beasts does not matter."

"This is the worker ant nature of the Basic Blade Beasts."

Wan Xiaoqi brought over two cups of industrial coffee.

Wang Jixuan expressed his thanks and asked quietly, "Is there anything else we should be wary of?"
