No one present had expected Ling Zhan's idea to be so bold!
A direct night raid on Drak City!

Heaven-Slaying God had launched a surprise attack in the dead of night.

Each squad had around five hundred members.
Every one of them was elite personnel above level 80 at minimum!
Only the reserve squads from the Freedom Federation, Korea, and Fusang Kingdom were
