A moment earlier.
As the battle began, the World Government's remnants were met with a devastating barrage of cannon fire.
At this time, the Five Elders were still confronting Blue Pheasant, Fujitora, and the others on the execution platform, while the World Government's position had only two top-tier fighters left: the CP0 Chief and a top CP0 agent.
Yet the two of them had to face over a hundred Alliance heroes.
Cannons roared and smoke filled the air. Some government agents fled in panic amid the thunderous bombardment, while others were driven mad by the smell of blood and gunpowder, charging recklessly to the front lines in chaotic combat.
A handful of elite agents barely managed to organize a resistance, but it had little effect.
Even CP0's last top agent had been entangled by Dragon and several Alliance officers. He was soon swallowed by the sea of people, unable to fight back.
All he could do was struggle almost meaninglessly.
"What a situation. Sigh."
Watching the battlefield descend into chaos, Solaris, the CP0 Chief, could not help but sigh helplessly.
Their chances of victory were truly slim.
But Solaris also understood clearly:
As CP0's chief and an elite of the Celestial Dragons, he had enjoyed privileges all his life and done dirty work all his life.
He had no way out now. He could only fight to the death with everything he had.
At that moment, the Marine cannon towers and warships began their second round of bombardment.
Solaris looked up and saw dense black cannonballs filling the skies in every direction, like a torrential rain of steel and gunpowder falling upon them.
Hearing the cannons roar again, the government agents, who had already suffered heavy casualties in the first bombardment, immediately turned pale.
At last, Solaris stepped forward.
