At the break of dawn, the silent city was jolted awake by the thunderous roar of engines.
At the original highway entrance on the eastern outskirts of the city, two thirty-meter-high reinforced-concrete walls were about to join. Viewed from above, one would find that these two walls, built of reinforced concrete, each stretched north and south for four or five kilometers, nearly netting the entire eastern urban district.
At this moment, a huge convoy was gathering at the unfinished gap.

Aside from that, the greatest feature of these armored vehicles was the sharp blades welded all over them—dozens, even hundreds of them—terrifyingly jutting outward like the teeth of a crocodile.

"Perhaps, one day, you will become an invincible mechanical knight order."
Zhang Yang murmured inwardly. His ambitions were vast. This expedition out of the city would affect several of his grand plans for the future, such as the Mech Corps.
