As the army of the Longevity Association surged like a tide, the tense atmosphere seemed to ignite the air around the headquarters church of the Sixth District of the Light King Sect.

At least six Heavy Equipment Divisions and nine Reinforced Mechanized Divisions, totaling 320,000 troops, were unfolding along the streets fifteen kilometers away, encircling the headquarters of the Sixth District without leaving a gap.

The security forces under the Forest Rui Fang Group were not to be outdone, Fei Yunlai had deployed a Heavy Equipment Division plus two regiments nearby, and with the troops withdrawn from nearby, their overall strength was close to three Heavy Equipment Divisions. They relied on solid fortifications, standing ready like a steel fortress.

About three minutes after the enemy formation unfolded, the sky around the headquarters church was torn by hundreds and thousands of intertwining crimson and indigo energy streams, causing exclamations in the command channel of the Forest Rui Fang Group.

“Is this a Phase Cutter?”

“Damn, the Longevity Association actually developed such a weapon.”

“Good grief, those vehicles are equipped with liquid armor, right?”

As the attack of the Longevity Association launched without warning, their hovering armored vehicles, mechas, and exoskeleton armors surged forward like a black torrent, their gun barrels spitting tongues of fire, with blazing annihilation shells whistling and crashing into the defensive fortifications outside the church.

In an instant, dirt and rocks flew, flames soared into the sky, and the solid walls of the fortifications were blasted with huge gaps. The Armored Martial Cultivators maneuvered their mechas and exoskeleton armors under the cover of artillery fire, nimbly moving around, their energy weapons emitting glaring beams in an attempt to tear open the defense line of the Light King Sect.

The streets saw the emergence of five hundred all-black hovering vehicles forming a diamond assault formation, their liquid metal armor flowing across the surfaces, with the main cannon’s rotating Annihilation Runes glowing with a sinister purple light.

Their defensive capabilities could withstand a frontal impact from a 330mm Annihilation Armor-Piercing Bullet, and their destructive power was so strong that they could easily penetrate the semi-permanent fortifications of the Forest Group.

At this moment, the first wave of Anti-Matter Annihilation Bombs trailed cyan traces as they crashed into the church’s exterior walls, but the energy streams capable of melting through warship decks were thwarted here.

Vast energy shields suddenly appeared on the church’s outer walls, while golden Runes manifested on the military-grade cement walls, rippling to not only deflect all destructive energy but also channel part of it into a seven-hundred-meter underground energy collector.

The entire church suddenly emitted a rumble akin to the awakening of a mechanical giant beast; the flying buttresses rose segment-by-segment like the spine of a giant dragon. The stained glass windows transformed into a prism matrix under the restructuring of nanobots, beginning to project destructive rays outward.

The defensive firepower of the Light King Sect was fully ignited, and the Annihilation Cannons of the Forest Group also roared in fiery bursts. Various models of close-in defense guns issued deafening roars, forming a barrage of shells that exploded frenziedly among the enemy.

There were countless Ray Cannons as well, with lethal beams continuously striking enemy armored units. The high temperature, reaching tens of thousands of degrees, could instantly melt the armor’s exterior, while a pungent burn filled the air.

Fei Yunlai stood in the church hall, with a stern expression, his gaze fixed on the surrounding projected battlefield status map. His fingers occasionally drew azure trajectories on the virtual sand table, as the wristband terminal on his hand gleamed faintly, and real-time communications from seventeen combat channels flowed through his earpiece.

He did not involve himself in tactical command. Lin Rui had deployed several operational staff officers for him, who were top tactical experts hired from the military by the Forest Group, and whose abilities in this area far surpassed his own.

Fei Yunlai only made strategic decisions, deciding which buildings to abandon, which directions to reinforce, or whether to deploy the reserve team of his division. All decisions lay with Fei Yunlai alone.

Judging from the video feed, the situation for the Forest Rui Fang Group was dire.

The Longevity Association had a complete advantage in manpower, stabilizing their formation after a brief chaos with the aid of powerful Armored Martial Cultivators.

Especially those Dragon Transformation Martial Practitioners, with over 400 Battle Dragons appearing on the battlefield. Their power was extraordinary, their massive bodies moved with lightning speed, capable of charging through showers of bullets and shells unfazed, and could deftly evade large-scale weapons threatening them, easily shredding any defensive line they broke through.

Their enormous bodies charged without restraint, their claws tearing through mechas, their fangs crushing skeletal armor, each attack accompanied by the screams and deaths of Forest Group soldiers.

There were also those liquid armor vehicles capable of absorbing various energies; artillery fire against them was like stones sinking into the sea, only extremely large-caliber weapons could inflict damage.

At this time, the reinforcement troops from Tien Xi Trading Group had entered the battlefield. With the deployment of these three Heavy Equipment Divisions in combat, the pressure on the Forest Group noticeably eased; however, their outer defensive lines were still being peeled away, layer by layer, breached.

Fei Yunlai gradually furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to order the many Eighth and Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators of the Forest Group into battle, Wang Tianwu spoke, “Let me handle it! For dealing with this level of rabble, my Illusion Technique is more convenient. Is everything I asked for prepared?”

Fei Yunlai immediately smiled, and with a slight flick of his sleeve, a massive electronic Array Altar floated up from the back side of the church.

“Naturally, it is prepared, using top materials and the best Rune Masters called upon to build it according to the layout you provided.”

Wang Tianwu glanced at the Runes on the electronic Array Altar, as well as the alloy materials, and knew that Fei Yunlai was telling the truth.
