All Eyes on Them! The Stunned Crowd

At this moment, several officers from the warship also came to the deck; they had also been notified to come.

One of the officers said to a communications soldier next to him:

"Contact the command center and ask them what they're doing; they've gathered everyone together but haven't issued any new orders."

The communications soldier immediately began making contact, but after trying for a long time, there was still no response from the command center.

The communications soldier reported:

"Report, there's no response from command center."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the officers present all changed.

"Let's go check out the command center."

Several officers immediately led a group of soldiers toward the command room.

They all had a vague sense of foreboding.

The command center of a warship is the hub of the entire ship; everything on board needs to be coordinated from the command center.

Unable to contact the command center—this had never happened before.

Soon, several officers led soldiers to the warship's command room.

When everyone entered the command room, they were all stunned.

Inside the command room, blood and human heads lay scattered everywhere on the floor.

The entire command center had turned into a slaughterhouse.

An officer immediately realized what was happening and shouted:

"Quickly, sound the alarm! And notify other warships to come to our aid!"

The officer's shouts rang out.

The soldiers nearby also realized what was happening.

A soldier immediately rushed to the control panel in the command room and turned on the security system that had been shut down.

Alarms sounded throughout the entire warship.

The people in the room looked at the scene before them in disbelief.

Their warship's command center was completely destroyed!

In modern warfare, it is virtually impossible for the enemy to infiltrate the command room of a warship.

The command center of each warship is located in a highly secure area.

And in every corner of the warship, there are soldiers on patrol for twenty hours a day.

There is also comprehensive surveillance of the entire warship, with no blind spots.

How could anyone possibly infiltrate the command center and kill everyone there?

Several officers began making contacts.

Some people are contacting the naval base, while others are reporting the matter to higher authorities.

Officers were also directing soldiers to begin inspecting the warships.

For a moment, the entire warship was in complete chaos.

As the news spread.

Two other warships, located approximately fifty nautical miles from the Roberts, also rushed over immediately.

The nearest naval base also received the same information.

The entire naval base was shaken; the command center of one warship was destroyed.

Moreover, everyone in the command center was killed.

This is something that has never happened in the Eagle Sauce Country since the establishment of its navy.

The entire naval base immediately activated its emergency response procedures.

At the same time, it entered the highest level of combat readiness.

Dozens of fighter jets drove out of the hangar.

Seven more destroyers also departed from the naval base's harbor.

The naval command also requested the mobilization of satellite monitoring.

They began locking onto warships in the area.

Inside the warship's ammunition depot.

Chen Feng had already heard the alarms sounding outside.

He has already delivered six missiles to the Painting Scroll World.

His Storage Bag was also filled with cannonballs from the naval guns.

Looking at the remaining missiles and shells in the ammunition depot, Chen Feng showed a regretful expression.

There's just too much ammunition here.

But he simply couldn't take it all with him; time was too short.

Moreover, the other party has already spotted him, and someone will be arriving soon.

Chen Feng conjured a flame in his right hand and then threw it at a missile in the distance.

He himself entered the Painting Scroll World.

After Chen Feng disappeared, the flame flew to the back of a missile, and the spiritual fire instantly melted the missile's outer shell.

The next second!

A devastating explosion echoed through the warship's ammunition depot.

The soldiers on the warship all felt a ringing in their ears, and the entire warship began to shake.

Before the soldiers could react, the terrifying shockwave of the explosion engulfed them all.

Any soldier hit by the shockwave was instantly turned into charred remains and minced meat.

The equipment on the warship was also completely destroyed by the shockwave from the explosion.

But this is just the beginning.

As the first explosion rang out, a series of explosions began to occur within the warship.

The entire warship was blown to pieces in less than ten seconds.

The warship, riddled with holes from the bombing, slowly sank into the sea, engulfed in flames.

Painting Scroll World, a border region.

The martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect continued to hinder the advance of the Ning Kingdom's army.

They have been holding them off for almost a whole day.

At the beginning, Xingfeng Sect greatly hindered the Ningguo army.

However, as time goes by...

The Ningguo army, having adapted to the power of modern firearms, began to look for ways to counter them.

Even if all the Xingfeng Sect warriors fired at once, they could only kill the Ningguo soldiers in the first row.

The soldiers behind couldn't hit them at all.

It was precisely for this reason that Ning Chen issued the order.

The soldiers in the first row were used as human shields to block the hidden weapon attacks from the Xingfeng Sect.

In addition, the Ning Kingdom army had a large number of high-level martial artists, who charged at the forefront and blocked most of the bullet attacks.

The martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect could only fight and retreat at the same time.

They have now retreated to a position fifty miles north of the border.

The roadblocks previously built by mortals were all destroyed one by one.

The construction of roadblocks could no longer keep up with the marching speed of the Ningguo army.

Wang Hu had ordered all mortals to evacuate several hours earlier.

"Elder, we're running low on ammunition!" Mo Yang reported to Wang Hu.

Wang Hu was using a sniper rifle to snipe at the Ningguo Transformation Realm martial artist in the distance.

Hearing Mo Yang's words, Wang Hu looked away from the scope and asked Mo Yang:

How much ammunition do we have left?

Wang Hu's Barrett mortar now only had six armor-piercing rounds left.

Mo Yang said with a solemn expression:

"We still have 10,000 rifle bullets, but we're out of grenades and rockets. Only the grenade launcher remains unused."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu's face darkened.

After a day of fighting, they had killed at least 80,000 Ningguo soldiers.

The number of high-level martial artists killed or wounded on the opposing side was also high.

However, this did not have a significant impact on the Ningguo army.

After all, the enemy has 600,000 people, so losing this number is only one-tenth of their total strength.

"Elder, what should we do now?" Mo Yang's face was full of anxiety.

Wang Hu said:

"Tell the brothers to conserve their bullets, fire and retreat, and take turns attacking."

"As long as we fire again, the Ningguo army's advance will slow down. I'm going to make contact."

After saying that, Wang Hu ran to the other side, took out his walkie-talkie, and began contacting Liu Qian.

"Liu Qian, has there been any news from Wuxing?"

Liu Qian's voice came through the walkie-talkie:

He should have already arrived in the capital of Ningguo.

After Liu Qian finished speaking, he asked, "How much longer can you hold out?"

Liu Qian's voice was solemn.

Wang Hu sighed:

"We're running low on ammunition; we can only hold out for another two hours at most."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian on the other end of the walkie-talkie fell silent.

A one-day delay is the maximum that Xingfeng Sect can do.

Even though Xingfeng Sect possesses powerful weapons, its numbers are ultimately too small.

The number of inner and outer sect martial artists that Wang Hu brought this time was only a few thousand.

If it weren't for the roadblocks built by ordinary people, they wouldn't have lasted even a day.

"Where is the sect leader? What did he say?" Wang Hu asked urgently.

He was eager to know what Chen Feng planned to do.

Liu Qian, on the other end of the walkie-talkie, said helplessly:

"The sect leader is in seclusion; I can't contact him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu burst into laughter:

"The sect leader is so calm; he can take nothing to heart."

For some reason, Wang Hu didn't panic after learning that Chen Feng was still in seclusion.

"You guys should retreat. If the fighting continues, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out," Liu Qian suddenly said on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Under these circumstances, Wang Hu and his men could no longer hold out.

Even if Wu Xing attacks Ningguo's capital, it won't have much effect.

Because Wang Hu and his men were running low on ammunition.

If we don't evacuate now, we'll likely be surrounded by Ningguo's army once we run out of ammunition.

"If we retreat now, what will happen to the Xingfeng Sect? Without anyone to stop these massive armies, they'll be able to reach the Hengduan Mountain in just a few hours!"

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Liu Qian sighed, "We can leave the Northern Border!"

Liu Qian considered things comprehensively; given the current situation, it was clear they were no longer able to withstand the onslaught.

It would be better to preserve our strength and withdraw from the North.

"No, unless the sect leader gives the order, I will absolutely not leave!"

After saying that, Wang Hu turned off the walkie-talkie and returned to the battlefield with the Barrett rifle.

Without Chen Feng's order, Wang Hu would absolutely not evacuate.

Meanwhile, Yue Qianshan and Yue Yao were still observing the situation on the battlefield.

Yue Yao looked at the martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect in the distance and said:

"It seems they won't be able to hold out for much longer."

From the gunshots of the Xingfeng Sect warriors, Yue Yao could tell that the Xingfeng Sect was likely doomed.

Previously, the gunfire from the Xingfeng Sect was very frequent.

But the gunfire has gradually decreased, and the Ningguo army's marching speed has noticeably increased.

Yue Qianshan nodded:

"Those hidden weapons will probably be used up, but it's already quite remarkable that they've managed to delay the Ning Kingdom's army for so long with such a small force!"

At this moment, a burning passion rose in Yue Qianshan's heart.

The power of the hidden weapons from the Xingfeng Sect far exceeded his expectations.

The Xingfeng Sect only had a small number of people, yet they managed to hold off the Ning Kingdom's army for so long using these special hidden weapons.

If all the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom were equipped with such concealed weapons.

It could probably even kill cultivators.

At this moment, Yue Qianshan had made up his mind that as long as Xingfeng Sect was defeated, he would get a share of the spoils.

"Grandpa, why hasn't Chen Feng shown up yet? What is he doing?" Yue Yao asked curiously.

She had been waiting for Chen Feng to appear, but there was still no sign of Chen Feng.

Yue Qianshan shook his head:

I don't know, but he'll definitely show up.

Yue Qianshan was certain that Chen Feng would make a move.

If Chen Feng doesn't make a move.

The entire northern border would be barren, and the martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect would certainly not survive.

He didn't think Chen Feng would escape.

If Chen Feng intended to abandon the Northern Territory, he wouldn't have allowed the martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect to stop him.

Xueyangzi and the other two were also watching the battlefield.

Zhao Sha was now extremely impatient.

"It's been a whole day already, are we really going to have to wait like this forever?!"

Zhao Sha naturally didn't want to wait.

The most important reason is that there are a large number of dead on the battlefield now.

The blood and flesh of those creatures have not yet been refined.

If too much time is spent refining, the Spiritual Qi produced will decrease.

Xue Yangzi frowned, somewhat puzzled as to why Chen Feng had not yet appeared.

Their army has already entered the northern border.

It won't be long before we can defeat the martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect.

Qingfengzi, standing to the side, spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Xueyang, could it be that Chen Feng has escaped?"

Qingfengzi's conjecture is not without reason.

There are three cultivators here, along with the Ning Kingdom's army.

Faced with this lineup, Chen Feng wasn't without the possibility of escaping.

"This person is definitely preparing a way to deal with us," Xueyangzi said, expressing his guess.

"What methods do they have to deal with us? Unless he's Foundation Establishment cultivator, he has no chance of survival!"

Zhao Sha was very disdainful, believing that even the strongest cultivators Qi Refining Techniques could not stand against an army.

Because Spiritual Qi will always be depleted.

Xueyangzi looked at the battlefield situation in the distance, and then said:

"Since Chen Feng won't come out, let's make our move and force him to!"

Xueyangzi didn't want to wait any longer.

"Alright, fellow Daoists, I'll refine the blood offerings first!"

Zhao Sha laughed heartily, then flew directly into the air towards the distant battlefield.

Xueyangzi and Qingfengzi quickly followed.

On the battlefield, the sight of Xueyangzi and his two companions flying in from the sky immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Those who can fly are undoubtedly cultivators.

Ning Chen, who was commanding the army, immediately bowed to Xue Yangzi and his two companions upon seeing them.

"Greetings, Ancestor, and two seniors!"

The other generals also saluted the three figures in the air at the same time.

After arriving at the battlefield, Zhao Sha appeared directly in front of a pile of corpses and began refining the blood-eating Spiritual Qi.

Upon seeing Zhao Sha's actions, Qingfengzi immediately expressed his dissatisfaction;

"This Zhao Sha is truly brainless, refining living beings right in front of so many people!"

Xueyangzi said helplessly, "Hasn't this person always been like this?"

Although the cultivators of Yingzhou refine living beings, they do so in public.

This would cause suspicion among domestic martial arts factions and the military.

They'll basically just go through the motions.

This is partly why blood-food trade occurred between several countries.

Xueyangzi looked at Ning Chen and said:

"My son, let the army charge straight in. The two of us will be at the forefront to help you take care of the Xingfeng Sect warriors."

After Xue Yangzi finished speaking, he and Qing Fengzi headed towards the location of the Xingfeng Sect warriors in the distance.

Ning Chen immediately smiled upon seeing this.

With two cultivators intervening, this battle should now be considered over.

Wang Hu had already spotted two figures flying in the air through the Barrett's scope.

Even though they were far apart, Wang Hu could sense the aura emanating from the two people.

Cultivators!

The opposing cultivators appeared, two of them.

This made Wang Hu's face turn very ugly.

He lacked confidence that his Barrett could hit the opponent.

Just then, Wang Hu noticed that the two cultivators flying through the air suddenly stopped.

Both cultivators looked up at the distant horizon.

Upon seeing this, Wang Hu immediately turned around to look.

It could be seen a thousand meters high on the distant horizon.

An armed helicopter is approaching the battlefield from the distant horizon.

He had seen this helicopter before at the Xingfeng Sect, so he recognized it at a glance.

Even from a distance of several kilometers, Wang Hu could clearly hear the buzzing sound of the helicopter rotor.

What surprised Wang Hu was not the helicopter.

Instead, there are several steel cables beneath the helicopter.

These steel cables connect three enormous cylinders.

The cylindrical object is six meters long and its surface is covered with a smooth metal shell.

The helicopter was flying very slowly, seemingly because the three cylinders were too heavy.

"What is this?" Wang Hu was completely stunned.
