Ants tripping elephants, flies beating dung beetles.

Overestimating oneself.

The two mechanical wolves couldn't even get close to the Golden Armored Qilin before being shattered into pieces...

Falling to the ground as a heap of scrap metal.

Someone recognized the origin of the Golden Armored Qilin and exclaimed:

"The Golden Armored Qilin, that's the one designed by the Lord."

When Tang Fei was studying at White Crane Academy, he participated in the Heavenly Dao Communication Conference jointly hosted by the Phoenix Empire and Aus Empire.

He used this Golden Armored Qilin to crush his opponents and became the champion of that year's mechanical group at the Heavenly Dao Communication Conference.

Yes, that was also the last Heavenly Dao Communication Conference...

In recent years, with political turmoil and unstable situations, the conference has never been held again.

Tang Fei's championship carries a lot of weight.

Tang Fei himself... is also quite destructive.

Since he arrived at New Star, the nation has been in chaos, the Royal Family has collapsed, and national traitors have emerged...

Is this the legendary Sirius?

Not only the Golden Armored Qilin, but closely following is a mechanical snake, over ten meters long and entirely black.

It slithers swiftly on the ground, making cracking sounds.

Wherever it passes, a deep trench appears on the ground, dirt flying.

The mechanical snake's red eyes scanned the scene and then locked onto three mechanical wolves ten meters away.

With a flick of its long tail, it wrapped the three mechanical wolves to its abdomen.

Crunch, crunch...

After a series of sounds that made people get goosebumps, those three mechanical wolves were crushed into mechanical dead wolves.

Cut in half, only the electronic chips on their heads still flickered with a silver-white light.

In the blink of an eye, the three mechanical wolves were completely destroyed.

It didn't pause, dragging its slender body toward other targets.

This is the latest design by Lu Siyu, the 'Medusa', a cutting weapon on the battlefield.

With the Golden Armored Qilin and Medusa as vanguards, an overwhelming swarm of bees and ants followed closely behind.

These were originally the Mountain Guardian Beasts of Lu Ban Mountain, but after Lu Ban Mountain was seized and the Lu Clan forced to flee to the Barren Land, they took these mechanical beasts with them.

When Lu Zhiyong came to assist, he brought one-third of the mechanical beasts along.

Initially, Tang Fei wanted to keep them hidden and use these deadly weapons when attacking Phoenix City.

Unexpectedly, Brocade City on this side did not adhere to martial ethics and was the first to use the Mo Family's mechanical beasts.

Tang Fei was not one to suffer losses quietly; he immediately commanded the Tianji Institute's Beast Tamers to unleash these swarms and ants.

You have the Mo Family, I have the Lu Family.

Mechanical beast versus mechanical beast, it's all about technology... and speed.

The bee swarm charged at the Star Disc battleships high in the sky, while the ant swarm advanced toward the rock-solid walls of Brocade City...

And the soldiers stationed on the walls.

Shen Qingping seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, "All troops, attack."

------

Brocade City Lord Yu Bing died in battle, his heart pierced by He Hongyu.

City Defense General Zhu Lin died in battle, his head smashed by Little Fatty.

The Flame-Bathed Legion's generals Wei Shuang, Qiao Xin Cheng, and Luo Gan died in battle...

The resistance from the Flame-Bathed Legion was fierce, but the Dushan Army's offensive was too ferocious.

One side defended to the death, while the other attacked fiercely.

The battlefield was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

More lives faded under the bombardment of pulse guns and energy bullets, transforming into smoke or blood rain.

Even bone fragments could not be found.

Bang!

The door of the command room was heavily pushed open, and Chen Chen, captain of the guard regiment, rushed in and said gravely, "Commander, Brocade City has fallen, the bandits are about to break through. We're here to escort you out."

Tang Shengyan stood by the virtual battle screen, watching the Flame-Bathed Legion retreating in real-time, his complexion grim, as if aging ten years in an instant.

"Leave? Go where?"

"To Phoenix City, or Qi Mountain..." Chen Chen replied.

Tang Shengyan stood there without turning his head and said, "I'm not leaving, you take the people and go."

"Commander..." Chen Chen hurriedly advised, "When the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood. Once we've regrouped, we'll come back for a decisive battle with the bandits."

"At my age, where are there any green hills and blue waters? I've fought battles all my life, yet I didn't expect Brocade City to become my Waterloo."

"Enough, enough. Stop fighting, fighting here and there, it's all our own people..."

"You go and deliver a message for me, say I want to see their leader, Tang Fei..."

"Commander..."

"Either leave, or do as I say."

"Yes, Commander."

------

Thanks to Tang Shengyan's initiative to halt, the slaughter finally temporarily ceased.

However, Shen Qingping dared not slack off in any way; he divided the Dushan Army into four, tightly encircling Brocade City.

No matter which area the Flame-Bathed Legion tried to break through from, they could provide support at the fastest possible speed.

At the gates of Brocade City, Tang Fei finally met Tang Shengyan.

This old general of the Empire, with a head full of white hair, even if defeated, still stood straight.

A soldier may lose, but never loses his dignity,

"Long time no see, young Tang Fei." Tang Shengyan squinted, scrutinizing Tang Fei. In a short time, his spirit had changed dramatically.

The first time they met, he appeared to be a young man with great vigor, his eyes exceptionally bright, filled with ambition for power.

Now, his eyes remained bright, but his entire aura had become much steadier, seeming very much like that of a seasoned general.

If previously he was a sword drawn out of its sheath, now he has hidden the sword's edge, making him even more dangerous and hard to grasp.

Tang Shengyan's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Since he arrived at New Star, it's been only a few short years.

At that time, he was just a minor division chief at the Monitoring Bureau, surviving only under the shelter of Yan Wenli, that mad dog.

Now, he has become a regional commander, and after taking Brocade City, he has completely integrated the Empire's Northern Border into his sphere of influence.

How old is he, exactly?

"Old General, long time no see," Tang Fei greeted with a smile, "Honestly, I really wish I didn't have to see you here."

"Unfortunately, I still came."

"Yes, it's a real shame," Tang Fei showed a regretful expression and said, "You say you're already a retired old man, wouldn't it be better to just relax at home, growing flowers and fish? Why step into these troubled waters?"

"Owed a favor, couldn't refuse," Tang Shengyan sighed and said helplessly, "Besides, I've retired, but those colleagues and subordinates haven't retired yet... They're still working under Shen Wuxiang, how could I just ignore it?"

"Is it worth sacrificing late dignity for others?"

"What's the point of talking about this now?" Tang Shengyan waved his hand and looked at Tang Fei, saying, "I came to see you to ask for a favor."

"Please say."

"I lost, I admit. I'll give you Brocade City. But please spare these soldiers under me... they're all good seedlings of the army, raised by their parents."

"They've bled for the country, suffered injuries; destroying them is such a waste."

"Alright, I promise you," Tang Fei looked at Tang Shengyan and said, "Lay down arms, no killing."

"If they're willing to stay, I will reorganize them into a new Flame-Bathed Legion. If they're not willing, I will let them go unconditionally."

"Really?" Tang Shengyan's eyes lit up and he asked.

He had served as the head of the Flame-Bathed Legion, having deep feelings for it.

He also didn't want the Flame-Bathed Legion to be destroyed because of him.

If Tang Fei can reorganize the Flame-Bathed Legion, no matter which side it belongs to... it will relieve him of one worry.

"Of course." Tang Fei nodded seriously, looking sincerely at Tang Shengyan and said, "If the old general could serve as commander of the Flame-Bathed Legion, that would be even better."

"..."

In front of both armies, publicly poaching enemy talent, and it's their commander you're trying to poach... are you being fair?
