Lin Feng's pupils reflected the whole picture.
A standard military square formation, with rows of the Skyhorn Clan warriors standing shoulder to shoulder in a horizontal row.
Lin Feng's fingers tightened.
He saw something extraordinary.
A head of Giant Beast, which is bigger than Nether Flood Dragon, carries a tower on its back.
There was some kind of luminous instrument on the top of the tower, exactly like those columns.
One head, two heads, five heads, ten heads.
Too many to count.
They stand behind the phalanx, like moving mountain peaks.
The mental power pushes deeper.
Pushed for several kilometers.
The edge of the phalanx has not yet reached its end.
Lin Feng's mental power reached the limit and was withdrawn.
He did not count the total.
Because it's endless.
Through the communicator, the sound of Duan Hongyuan breathing came in.
He is watching too.
East Sea Defense Line's remote psychic monitoring projected the scene on the opposite side onto the holographic screen of the command post through Rift.
Duan Hongyuan said nothing.
The sound of breathing is very heavy, once in a while.
Chen Guoliang stood next to him, unable to close his mouth.
The picture on the holographic screen was still moving slowly, and the camera swept across row after row of neat square formations, the towers on the backs of Giant Beast, and the continuous flags on the horizon in the distance.
In the command post, everyone stopped what they were doing.
No one made a sound.
"Withdraw."
Lin Feng's voice came out from the communicator, with only one word.
Duan Hongyuan's fists were clenched and loosened.
"Withdraw."
He didn't hesitate.
Duan Hongyuan knows better than anyone else. How many can he, Lin Feng plus Nether Flood Dragon kill if they rush in? One thousand? Two thousand?
The quantity on the opposite side is calculated in tens of thousands.
"If we rush in now, we will destroy all Dragon Kingdom's only Martial Emperor-level combat power."
"This information is more important than our two lives put together."
Lin Feng No nonsense.
He patted Nether Flood Dragon on the neck.
Nether Flood Dragon turned around, and the hundred-meter-long dragon body passed by the edge of Rift and flew back in the direction of East Sea Defense Line.
Behind him, Rift was still shaking.
After Bone Bridge Array was destroyed, the structure of Rift continued to be unstable.
The wall of the space is repeatedly pulled between self-repair and self-tearing, and the red light at the edge flickers on and off.
But the Skyhorn Clan square array on the opposite side did not move.
They stood there, silently looking at Rift's side.
Didn't rush over.
This is more chilling on the back than rushing over.
They are waiting.
Wait for Rift to stabilize.
Wait for the next batch of engineers to re-lay Bone Bridge Array.
By that time, this channel will be completely opened.
The army came out in full force.
Nether Flood Dragon falls outside East Sea Defense Line.
Lin Feng jumped off the dragon's back and strode into the command post.
Duan Hongyuan is already in front of the console.
He pressed his hand on the communication panel and his face became darker than before.
"Has the screenshot been taken?"
"The cut is finished."
Chen Guoliang's voice is dry. "Full recording, highest definition."
"Encrypted, top secret level."
Duan Hongyuan's fingers moved quickly on the panel. "Send directly to National Defense Committee's center."
He paused.
"Attached is my assessment."
"Where's the content?"
Duan Hongyuan raised his head and looked at the picture frozen on the holographic screen.
Skyhorn Clan phalanx, war Giant Beast, endless flags.
"Four words."
His voice is very heavy.
"National annihilation level."
--
The encrypted data packet is transmitted back to the Dragon Kingdom hub at the speed of light.
The moment when the data packet is decompressed.
The air in the entire command room froze.
A holographic projection unfolds in the center of the room.
The picture occupies the entire projection space, and the scene opposite Rift is presented to everyone with the highest degree of restoration.
More than a dozen Dragon Kingdom's top military decision-makers stood in front of the projection.
No one is sitting.
The screen moved slowly, passing by the first row of heavy armored infantry phalanx, and the lines on the bone guard were clearly visible.
Spearmen, war Giant Beast, black energy surges.
The screen stops here.
In the command room, someone's hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"What the fuck..."
The voice of an old general came out from between his teeth.
He put his hands on the edge of the table and tried his best to steady himself.
"Where is Duan Hongyuan's evaluation opinion?"
Four words appear below the projection.
The level of annihilation.
The command room was completely quiet.
Only the hum of the air circulation system remains.
"Convene a supreme war readiness meeting."
"Everyone, the commander-in-chief of the four major military regions, the elders of the nine major countries."
He raised his head.
"No one left behind."
"Be there within three hours."
Messages are sent simultaneously to the four major military regions with the highest priority.
The radio waves in the encrypted frequency band pass through mountains, oceans and plains, reaching the most remote corners of the Dragon Kingdom.
Northern Territory, East Sea, Nanjiang, northwest.
Everyone who received the message had the same first reaction after reading the attached screenshot.
Silence.
Transport Aircraft made emergency takeoffs from airports in major military regions.
The escort formation accompanied the entire process.
The route has been specially cleared and all civilian aircraft have to give way.
Within the three-hour deadline, no one was late.
But during those three hours, some people did other things.
Dragon Kingdom Capital City, a private house somewhere.
Wei Zheng put down the communicator in his hand.
One of the nine great national elders.
He just finished watching that scene.
There is no change in expression.
"Coming."
He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "What is supposed to come, will come after all."
Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man in military uniform.
The military rank on his chest is Major General.
"Old Man, if this matter is made public..."
"Cannot be made public."
Wei Zheng put down the tea cup and said, "One. four billion people, once they know that there is a country-destroying alien army hanging above their heads, what do you think will happen?"
"When the people's morale collapses, the military's morale will also collapse. If the military's morale collapses, the battle will be lost before it is even fought."
The middle-aged man nodded and hesitated again.
"But Duan Hongyuan and Lin Feng may not agree to keep it secret..."
Wei Zheng tapped his fingers on the edge of the teacup.
"Lin Feng."
When he pronounced the name, his tone did not fluctuate.
"Who caused the expansion of Rift this time?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment.
"After Bone Bridge Array was destroyed, Rift expanded out of control. Whose action caused this result?"
The middle-aged man's mouth opened.
Wei Zheng didn't wait for his answer.
"I'm not saying he did anything wrong."
Wei Zheng raised the corner of his mouth. "But in the eyes of some people, the causal relationship is that simple."
"Rift expanded. The reason is that someone bombed Bone Bridge Array. The person who bombed Bone Bridge Array was Lin Feng."
He stood up and straightened his collar.
"Contact a few people for me."
He named four names.
"Tell them I want to talk to them before the meeting starts."
The middle-aged man stood up and was about to walk out.
Wei Zheng added another sentence.
"Don't use encrypted bands, use private channels."
The middle-aged man paused for a moment.
"Yes."
The door is closed.
Wei Zheng's hands were behind his back, and his fingers were slowly clenched.
"Lin Feng ah Lin Feng..."
He whispered to himself.
"You Slaughter are too heavy-handed and have made too many enemies."
"This time, I want to see if you can bear it."
