With a furious roar, Iron Wall unleashed a massive sweeping shield that slammed into the opposing flag bearer, accompanied by a gust of wind.

On the other side, Shattered Eye moved like a ghost, weaving through the gaps in the crowd. His light-colored pupils calmly captured every flaw in his opponent, and his short sword was wrapped in pale white Nen energy as he fought the second flag bearer.

Blood seeped from several new wounds on his body, but he felt no pain. Every strike he made was ruthless and precise, and he fought to the death with the same determination to die.

Bago's wild nature erupted completely, his energy surged, and his fists and feet moved with wide, sweeping motions, like a wild beast breaking free of its shackles, tightly entangled with the third flag bearer.

Every punch landed squarely, each collision sending up waves of air. Even as his body continued to accumulate wounds, he relentlessly launched a frenzied counterattack, fearless of death.

Three core members of the Rust Remains Alliance each fought a Dawn Society flag bearer head-on. In the center of the battlefield, three high-intensity Nen user clashed, creating a chaotic and intense battle.

On the observation platform, Jiang Ye kept his eyes fixed on the entire battlefield, his hands moving rapidly, creating a series of hand gestures.

"Rabbit Escape!"

The shadows beneath their feet surged and churned, and countless clones of the Rabbit Escape burst forth from the shadows, densely packed and rushing towards the battlefield.

High in the sky, the nue let out a low cry, purple lightning crackling beneath its wings as it swooped down.

Bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, disrupting the Dawn Society soldiers' formation and providing auxiliary support for their attack.

The Ten Shadows Technique have limitations; Jiang Ye has not yet comprehended the domain, and the upper limit of his energy restricts him.

At any given time, only two Shikigami can be present in the world to fight.

With Rabbit Escape and Ye already on the battlefield, the powerful Divine Dog: Totality and Toad could only return to the Shadow Space to serve as substitutes and recharge, waiting for a critical gap to appear on the battlefield before making their appearance.

Even with the constant attacks from Rabbit Escape and the continuous aerial attacks from Nue, the overall strength of the Dawn Society still far exceeded Jiang Ye estimates.

The Dawn Society is, after all, a long-established force rooted in the Fifth District. Most of its soldiers are battle-hardened, skilled in combat, well-coordinated, and well-equipped.

Although they suffered many casualties from Molotov cocktails during the charge, they quickly regained their formation.

As time ticked by, the combat experience of the Dawn Society Soldiers began to take effect, and the front line slowly advanced towards the Rust Remains Alliance's positions.

Rust Remains Alliance frontline warriors are falling one after another, the defensive line is under tremendous pressure, many brothers are wounded, and they are retreating step by step. The situation is gradually tilting in a direction unfavorable to Jiang Ye.

On the flank, Grey Elder, who had been observing the battle from the sidelines, saw this scene and a faint sneer appeared on his lips. His aged voice drifted across the wilderness.

"Jiang Ye, did you see that?"

"With just these flesh and blood, you cannot stop the overwhelming force."

"If we give up resistance now, we might still have a chance to survive."

Jiang Ye stood on the observation platform, his expression completely calm.

His face showed no panic or anxiety; he merely glanced coldly in the direction of the Grey Elder.

All of this was within his expectations.

In terms of melee combat using only cold weapons, the Rust Remains Alliance is a relatively new organization with soldiers of varying skill levels, making it unrealistic for them to expect to defeat an established armed force like the Dawn Society in a direct confrontation.

Without a backup plan, we would have had no chance of winning this battle from the very beginning.

Just as the pressure on the defensive line was increasing and the brothers on the front line were about to reach their limit, a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the rear camp.

Gray Beak came running quickly, his clothes soaked with sweat, his breathing heavy, but his face could not hide his excitement. He rushed up the container observation platform and came to Jiang Ye's side.

"Alliance Leader! Everything is ready!"

Jiang Ye looked at him, a faint smile slowly rising to his lips, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Very good."

He raised his voice, which cut through the noise of battle, and shouted his orders.

"Bring it up! Let our brothers have a good time!"

The moment the order was given, the barriers of the container fortifications at the rear of the camp were all flung open with a loud crash.

Rows of dark gun barrels protruded neatly from the breach in the fortifications.

Various firearms purchased from the Central City were neatly distributed to the Rust Remains Alliance warriors.

Rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, and boxes of ammunition were piled up behind the fortifications, with ammunition belts and magazines neatly arranged.

This batch of weapons was the hard-earned goods that Jiang Ye obtained by exchanging the large amount of treasure left behind by the bounty hunter who died here, through underground middlemen in the Central City, directly with weapons merchants at any cost.

Within Meteor City, firearms are strictly controlled by various elder factions, resulting in extremely limited circulation and exorbitant prices.

For ordinary small and medium-sized gangs, having a few guns is already considered a sign of wealth. To purchase firearms in large quantities, they would need a huge amount of Jenny as support.

Although the Dawn Society headquarters in Nubia also stockpiled firearms, the headquarters also required heavy defense, and it was impossible to bring all the firearms to the battlefield of District 13. The number of firearms he carried with him this time was very limited.

Nubia was leading his army step by step on the front lines, believing victory was just around the corner.

But when he saw the rows of cold gun barrels behind the fortifications, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, his heart sank, and a strong sense of unease instantly swept over his entire body.

How could that be!

Where did the Rust Remains Alliance, a force that has only recently risen to power, get such a large quantity of guns and ammunition?

At the same moment, Grey Elder, who was observing the battle from a distance, saw the weapons clearly, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly, his brows furrowing tightly.

In an instant, he understood the key point.

Jiang Ye must have sold all the huge amount of treasure buried by that bounty hunter to obtain these weapons!

The treasure he had painstakingly sought was all transformed by Jiang Ye into a weapon capable of turning the battlefield upside down.

A surge of anger burned fiercely in Grey Elder's chest, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.

"Fire!!"

Jiang Ye gave the order!

Bang bang bang bang bang!!!

The deafening gunfire suddenly erupted into a cacophony!

A dense hail of bullets rained down on the advancing Dawn Society troops like a torrential downpour!

The metal bullet tore through the air, whistling as it Piercing Blood.

The metal shields hastily erected by the Dawn Society soldiers were riddled with holes under the barrage of gunfire, and many shields were pierced directly by bullets.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, screams rose and fell, and the charging men fell in droves.

The Dawn Society's offensive, which had been steadily advancing, was abruptly interrupted, casualties surged by more than half, and the complete charging formation was torn to pieces by bullets.

The Dawn Society army, which had just been in the lead, suddenly found itself in a dire and passive situation.

Nubia stared at the hellish scene before him, his eyes bloodshot, his chest filled with a mixture of rage and shock.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that Jiang Ye would hold such a trump card that could turn the tide of the battle.

Smoke billowed and rose, and amidst the smoke, Jiang Ye stood on the watchtower, his aura surging, his voice sharp and clear, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

"Brothers on the defensive line, listen to my command! Now! Push forward!"

"Push them down!!"

Upon receiving the order, the Rust Remains Alliance frontline soldiers, who had been struggling to hold on, were greatly encouraged.

Iron Wall, Shattered Eye, Bago held off the three flag bearers, and upon hearing Jiang Ye's command, they unleashed even greater fighting power.

Taking advantage of the chaos created by the gunfire, Rabbit Escape's clone wreaked havoc in the enemy ranks.

High in the sky, the Ye let out a sharp cry and plunged down again, accompanied by purple lightning.

Gunfire continued unabated, and smoke filled the entire wilderness. The warriors of the Rust Remains Alliance, wielding swords and shields, roared and charged forward under the cover of fire.

The situation has been completely reversed!

The Grey Elder, watching the rapidly changing battlefield before him, had a face so dark it was almost dripping with water.

He knew he could no longer sit idly by and watch the two tigers fight!

If the Dawn Society allowed to collapse, the next opponent it will face will be the Rust Remains Alliance, whose strength has greatly increased.

The Grey Elder slowly raised his hand, his aged voice squeezed out from between his teeth, and solemnly gave a belated order to the guards and armed men beside him.

"Everyone... attack!"
