A Clear Death, Please

He saw it.

The defenders ahead were completely unscathed!

At the point of explosion, the defenders had somehow raised their heavy shields, and the shockwave from the blast hit nothing but the shields. Not a single defender was harmed. Their armor remained intact, and there wasn't even a scorch mark on the shields.

This scene utterly stunned the local survivors in front of him.

What in the world were these things?!

They didn't fear bullets, fine, but how could they not fear rocket-propelled grenades?!

"Sniper! Armor-piercing rounds!"

"Anti-tank missiles! Mines activated!"

Sharp, panicked orders echoed from the survivors, as larger-scale weapons were being deployed.

Boom!

A thicker cloud of white smoke billowed near the front lines as several survivors, carrying single-man anti-tank rockets, fired directly at the defenders.

Boom! Boom!

The flash of fire and the greater explosions mixed with the scorching heat blasted through the defenders' ranks, and the scene was nothing short of a full-scale battlefield!

Then came...

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

The ground shook beneath the defenders' feet as a series of landmines planted earlier detonated beneath them, creating an even more intense barrage of explosions.

Whoosh!

A silent sniper's bullet shot out, aimed straight at Chen Dafeng!

Chen Dafeng's body jolted, and then he casually plucked a long, finger-thin armor-piercing round from his forehead and tossed it aside.

Amateurs who only knew how to shoot—he couldn't even be bothered to dodge.

He glanced briefly at the defenders. Despite the relentless gunfire and the powerful weapons, they showed no sign of being harmed.

Even as enemy forces launched heavy artillery, fired rockets, sniped at them, and tossed grenades into their ranks, the defenders remained unfazed!

Every step they took was deliberate, their formation unshaken as they advanced toward the enemy!

Their pace was slow, but unstoppable!

Chen Dafeng even noticed the enemy had pre-dug the streets and set up spiked traps—but the defenders didn't fall into them. They crushed the traps beneath their feet and simply walked over them as if nothing had happened!

There was a faint glow around their armored feet. Was this... internal energy, like the military data suggested? Could it give them brief levitation?

"Dammit, are they walking on air like martial artists?!" Chen Dafeng rubbed his nose, feeling very satisfied.

A group of warriors like these, charging headfirst into battle, was exactly the kind of force that suited him.

Compared to modern military factions who only knew how to shoot from a distance or fire cannons, Chen Dafeng preferred these defenders.

Brave! Fearless!

Unbelievable defense and execution power!

"Boss, what do we do now?!"

A frightened shout came from the survivors. The defenders' overwhelming combat power shocked the entire battlefield.

The sound of gunfire among the survivors became more sparse, as more and more people realized that firearms couldn't even dent these strange ancient soldiers.

They could only watch helplessly as this invincible wave of defenders closed in on them, their hearts sinking with unprecedented despair and fear.

Today was destined to be a day the Brave Men Alliance would never forget.

There was no doubt that once the defenders reached the frontline, nothing would stop them from crushing everything in their path.

No one dared question it—these shocking ancient soldiers would likely wash the entire settlement in blood.

"Stop! Stop!"

The man who had shouted earlier gritted his teeth and stood up. Instead of fleeing, he tried to shout desperately, attempting to halt the defenders' advance. "Bro! We can talk this out! Even if you want to attack us, at least give us a reason!"

"Who are you, and why are you attacking us?!"

The man's voice carried a hint of grievance. He couldn't understand why Chen Dafeng and his people had appeared out of nowhere and gone straight for the attack without explanation.

"Now you're scared?" Chen Dafeng sneered. "What happened to all that bravado when you were shooting? Feel free to continue firing."

Chen Dafeng wasn't planning to lift a finger himself. After all, he now considered himself a military leader of sorts and was more interested in observing the defenders' combat effectiveness.

"I..."

The man's breath hitched as he bitterly smiled. "Bro, I admit defeat. I'm not afraid of death, but could you at least make it clear before you kill me?"

This battle was impossible to win.

Every single attack they launched couldn't break through the defenders' defenses. Nothing was stopping them.

"The Great Heaven Sanctuary, King Bā Sanctuary, and that Zhao Ri Tian... they're all here, right?"

Chen Dafeng raised an eyebrow and calmly spoke, "I'm the one they're looking for. The Little White Bear. I've arrived."

I am Little White Bear!

As soon as those words left his lips, the survivors around him froze for a moment, their expressions becoming confused before morphing into something strange.

What was going on?

All this chaos... just because of a disagreement in the chat channel earlier?

This Little White Bear guy was absolutely ridiculous—his temper was like a powder keg!

"Ah, so it's Little White Bear. I saw what happened earlier... it was indeed our people who were a bit rude. I'm representing them..."

"Hand over the person."

Chen Dafeng waved his hand, cutting off the man's smile. "Or should I go in and get them myself?"

Throughout this exchange, the defenders had not stopped their relentless march, steadily approaching the defensive line.

As soon as Chen Dafeng gave the signal, the defenders could ramp up their speed and charge into the settlement, cutting down anyone who stood in their way.

But Chen Dafeng wasn't planning to let it get to that point. He wanted to build enough pressure!

If a fight was inevitable, he wanted to win it head-on!

Make them use every method they had, only to be completely powerless and accept their defeat with respect!

"This..."

The man's face twitched, but seeing the cold indifference on Chen Dafeng's face, he knew the situation was about to escalate.

They couldn't afford a defeat, especially with so many factions vying for power in New Chang City.

The one who lost this battle would be ousted from the city's power struggle.

"Fine. You come with me."

The man nodded. "I'll take you to them. I guarantee you'll get what you want."

"Move the defenses!"

The man turned and shouted, but one of his subordinates hesitated.

"Boss, are we really letting them in? Isn't this like letting the wolf into the sheepfold?"

"You know we're the sheep right now," the man shot back with a glare. "If you don't cooperate, do you think you can stop them?"

The man saw the situation clearly—the ancient soldiers were far too powerful.

The leader of the group, Little White Bear, was completely ridiculous. He stood there, not moving, and yet all the snipers in the settlement couldn't kill him.

The man knew that if they resisted, there was no good outcome. They might as well cooperate. At least there was a chance they'd survive.

At his insistence, the crowd parted, and the defensive barriers were moved aside, letting the defenders in.

Zhong Shan didn't take action because Chen Dafeng was walking ahead, talking to the man.

"Go. Bring them to me."

Chen Dafeng stood among the crowd, casually pointing to his chin.

He allowed the ill-intentioned glares to fall on him, his attitude exuding both arrogance and confidence.

If you have the guts, come try and control me like you did with the commander!

Otherwise, you'll kneel and beg for mercy in front of me!

"Yes, yes, bro, just wait here."

The man nodded quickly, signaling his subordinate. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

"Don't try anything funny. Just bring them over!"

The man was deliberately trying to reduce Chen Dafeng's hostility by reminding his subordinates right in front of him.

"But boss..."

One of the subordinates hesitated, speaking quietly, "The other two are fine, but Big Tian... he's the boss's brother. Should we bring him too?"
