Chapter 459 - 101: What Gives You the Right to Threaten Me?

An iron-armored flying eagle with a four-meter wingspan swooped down, catching him perfectly and allowing him to step onto its back.

In the blink of an eye—

SCREECH!!

The eagle beast’s low cry echoed, resounding through the valley. The black trench coat fluttered in the wind as man and beast departed from the skies above Crow Valley, looking indescribably free and unrestrained.

Witnessing this scene, Yao Jin and the others had complex expressions, all feeling a wave of emotion. Relief, awe, admiration... various emotions surfaced in their hearts, even carrying a trace of gratitude. If not for his intervention, they might have fallen here today, buried in the dirt.

However, Yao Jin’s eyes flickered as she stared at the black-clad back on the flying eagle gradually fading into the distance. For some unknown reason, even though his figure and aura didn’t match, she still felt he looked somewhat familiar. It even inexplicably made her think of that figure who was wanted by Biotechnology and forced to disappear.

"Transcendence Level..." she muttered to herself. "Perhaps I’m overthinking it."

Shaking her head, Yao Jin finally let out a soft sigh and withdrew her gaze. She wondered how Leader Lu could be at the Transcendence Level, or how he could possibly be related to Celestial Hunter from thirty years ago.

BOOM! BOOM!

Artillery fire rained down like meteors, bombarding the earth until it was riddled with craters.

The frontal forces deployed at Crow Valley continued to press forward, forcefully pushing back the ground troops of the Rebel Base. Armored tanks coordinated with the Superpower Squads, acting as spearheads, constantly tearing gaps in the various frontlines and breaking through inward.

"Report! The Third Unit has completed the frontal diversion and charged into the seventh defense line!"

"Report! The armored vehicles of the Fifth Unit have encountered artillery fire. They have temporarily adjusted their tactics and are attempting to break through from the flank..."

"Report..."

Inside the mobile armored command vehicle, numerous light screens hovered throughout the cabin. Electromagnetic signals from the entire battlefield were continuously transmitted, converging through the command vehicle’s communications to form a unified network for the whole warzone. More than a dozen elite commanders sat at their communication posts, integrating the signals and reporting the details immediately.

Looking toward the center of the cabin, there was a specially-made long metal table reflecting a three-dimensional projection of Crow Valley. It looked like a virtual electronic sandbox. Blue glowing dots appeared within it, corresponding to the communication coordinates of the various City Guard Army units. In addition, seven or eight tactical commanders of the City Guard Army stood around the sandbox, staring at it constantly as they discussed tactics.

"Crow Valley is indeed a hard nut to crack. Those warlords didn’t want to be sitting ducks, so they also sent people to help the Rebels."

"These scums know that if one falls, the rest will follow, so naturally they’ll band together. Why don’t we try breaking through from the flank again in a moment?"

"That’s not a good idea. The casualties would be too high, and Commander Xu’s group is already under a lot of pressure..."

The tactical commanders frowned in thought as they looked at the blue cursors in the sandbox. Among them were Superpower Level experts skilled in tactical arrangements, as well as military generals who, despite seemingly having ordinary Life Energy, were masters of strategy and constantly voiced their suggestions.

The war had been going on for some time, but they still hadn’t completely broken through the defense line at Crow Valley. Everyone looked solemn, hoping to breach all the defenses and secure a victory as soon as possible, lest they be dragged down in a war of attrition here.

"Report to the Marshal!" a communications commander suddenly announced excitedly. "The assault team has infiltrated the secret passage in Crow Valley. In addition, they’ve killed Tyler and his men!

"A total of three Law Enforcement Officers have been killed, and..."

The exhilarating news echoed through the cabin. The tactical commanders’ expressions shifted as they revealed their excitement and thrill.

"They finally succeeded in infiltrating. It seems the Superpower Bureau is reliable after all."

"Wait, what’s going on with Hidden Streamer and Celestial Hunter? Is the Dark Web planning to intervene in the war?"

"Never mind that. Let’s just win the war first..."

Discussions broke out before everyone looked expectantly toward the back of the command sandbox. There stood a blond young man draped in a City Guard Army general’s coat, bearing the rank of Marshal on his shoulders. He had remained calm and composed the entire time, without saying a word.

Only upon hearing the report did he silently glance out the window at the sky, seemingly catching a glimpse of an iron-armored flying eagle carrying a figure before disappearing from sight.

"Celestial Hunter..." he muttered, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes as he pondered. He wondered if the man was a helper invited by Ji Lixian.

"Marshal?" one of the commanders spoke up again, looking at him with deep anticipation.

Seeing this, Su Tianyang temporarily suppressed his extraneous thoughts, nodded lightly, and looked at the command sandbox.

"Then let’s execute the Third Plan." His tone was calm as he led the way toward the cabin door, his marshal’s coat draping over his shoulders. "I will personally lead the team and launch the charge.

"No matter what, we must win this battle!"

BUZZ!!

At the same time, inside the Rebel Headquarters Base.

"Let me see what kind of qualifications you have to dare threaten me." A cold and harsh voice echoed inside the secret command chamber.

The communication that was supposed to be cut off by the base was instead disconnected by the other party, who even took the initiative to leave a provocation. The intelligence team member in charge of communications turned pale, cold sweat dripping down his face.

The other Law Enforcement Officers present also trembled inwardly, looking toward the burly figure standing in the center, dressed in black and wearing a mask.

CRACKLE! CRUNCH!

The sturdy black communicator was crushed forcefully in his hand, emitting a harsh and crisp noise.

An invisible, heavy pressure fell upon everyone’s hearts. Even the Superpower Level Law Enforcement Officers felt a psychological suppression, subconsciously lowering their heads. The intelligence team member responsible for communications felt his blood vessels bulging as if they were about to burst, clearly hearing the rapid THUMP, THUMP of his own heartbeat.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...
