Tie Zhenshan, Mao Wudi, and Rou Moyu immediately tensed up to the extreme!
They fully understood the resolute meaning contained in the phrases 'completely erased' and 'ensuring no fish escape the net,' as well as the immense responsibility placed on their shoulders.
Yun Qianqian issued direct orders right from the start, yet the three of them felt nothing amiss.
After all, the strength of the Firefly organization was undeniable. Although they were leaders of their respective factions, they knew perfectly well that in the face of absolute power, Firefly was the true orchestrator of this battle.
Yun Qianqian stood calmly before the holographic map, continuing to give commands:
"The aura of the Bi Xiao Guardian and Qing Ying Vanguard is too formidable. Wan Youyu will likely not come out to fight once he sees it; instead, he will hide deeper or even escape.
Therefore, leaders, I need you to first lure out Wan Youyu and his Half-Corpse Legion. Specifically, the three leaders will launch a frontal assault on the Brothers Alliance. The moment Wan Youyu and the Half-Corpse Legion appear will be their moment of annihilation!"
"Understood!" Tie Zhenshan responded with powerful conviction, his voice steady and imbued with an iron-like resolve.
"The perimeter blockade is on us! All H City warriors swear to defend every passage to the death, ensuring not a single Half-Corpse escapes!"
His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, already rapidly planning troop deployments in his mind.
Mao Wudi let out an excited roar, clenching his fists until his knuckles cracked, his eyes burning with bloodthirsty battle intent: "I've been itching to chop those bastards to pieces! Don't worry, not even a fly will get out!"
Although Rou Moyu did not speak, her gentle eyes now gleamed with a cold light. She nodded slightly, her fingers rapidly gliding across the holographic map, instantly calling up all possible sewer, alley, and abandoned building entrances and exits around the Brothers Alliance's territory, precisely marking the blockade points.
However, the forces they had brought were far from enough to completely blockade the entire Brothers Alliance area, so they now had to return and mobilize all available forces to ensure nothing went wrong.
As for time, there were less than five hours until dawn, which was enough to complete the full encirclement.
Before dawn, the Brothers Alliance's territory would be completely sealed off, and all possible escape routes would be blocked.
Yun Qianqian nodded in satisfaction, saying no more.
Tie Zhenshan, Mao Wudi, and Rou Moyu exchanged glances, their eyes revealing an unprecedented solemnity and determination. Without hesitation, they simultaneously clasped their fists in salute to Yun Qianqian.
"Miss Yun, rest assured, we will go and gather all our forces to set up an inescapable net!"
Tie Zhenshan's voice was decisive. He then turned and shouted to outside the command room:
"Orderly! Immediately notify all sector commanders: all combat units are to enter highest combat readiness, return to mobilize troops, and blockade all passages around the Brothers Alliance! Repeat, blockade all passages!"
Mao Wudi could no longer hold back. He let out a low roar, like a long-suppressed tiger, bursting through the command room door and charging out, his voice reverberating through the corridor:
"Where are my Spear of Victory men? Get moving! Target the Brothers Alliance perimeter, don't let a single rat escape!"
Rou Moyu quickly summoned her confidants, giving swift yet very clear instructions in a low voice:
"Miss Yun, my Glory of Light personnel will directly blockade all abandoned subway entrances and sewer hubs of the Brothers Alliance shortly."
Outside the base, with the issuance of the three leaders' orders, the entire H City command post instantly became a hive of activity.
Soldiers who had been standing by in various bases, like precise gears, were instantly activated. Armored vehicle engines roared to life, heavy tracks grinding over the ground;
Light assault vehicles shot out like arrows from a bow, carrying fully armed warriors to their designated positions;
Squads of Mutants rapidly assembled, all moving to surround the Brothers Alliance.
The air was filled with the smell of oil, dust, and tension. The clanging of metal, the roar of engines, and crisp, forceful commands intertwined. The gears of war began to turn with a rumble in the darkest hour before dawn.
The entire H City, like a giant beast awakened, fully roused under the will of the three leaders.
Tie Zhenshan's Steel Fortress legion demonstrated astonishing efficiency. Heavy armored vehicles, like mobile fortresses, rumbled through the broken streets, their massive searchlights piercing the darkness, firmly locking down the main thoroughfares leading to the Brothers Alliance headquarters.
Soldiers, relying on ruined buildings and makeshift fortifications, quickly established lines of fire, with cold muzzles and gleaming melee weapons forming a wall of death.
Squads of Mutants moved like phantoms in the dark, bloody night, silently and precisely occupying key positions.
Mao Wudi's Spear of Victory was even more ferocious. They charged towards their designated areas like unleashed beasts, roaring.
Mao Wudi himself led the charge, the exaggerated battle spear in his hand glinting with a bloodthirsty dark light in the night.
His elite Mutant warriors exuded a formidable aura. They needed no complex fortifications; they simply used themselves as a shield, blocking the choke points of the streets and alleys with their furious momentum and awakened abilities.
Mao Wudi's roar echoed in the night sky: "Keep your eyes wide open! Let those half-human, half-ghost bastards know that one step out means death!"
The figures of Glory of Light appeared more often in the shadows and the gaps of ruins.
They embedded themselves silently into every critical node on the Brothers Alliance's perimeter, like the most precise gears.
Abandoned subway tunnels, intricate sewage pipes, hidden passages formed by bombed-out buildings... ghostly figures of Glory of Light members appeared near all possible escape routes that Half-Corpses might use.
They set up silent warning traps and deadly blockade points, ensuring that not even a single rat could slip away from underground.
The air was thick with the smell of rust, dust, and a suffocating, murderous aura of impending battle.
Soldiers clutched their weapons, breathing heavily, their eyes fixed on the blood-shrouded, deathly silent core area of the Brothers Alliance ahead. They knew that an unknown number of terrifying and powerful Half-Corpse legions lurked there.
But at this moment, their fear had been replaced by another, stronger emotion—a nearly fanatical belief in victory, ignited after witnessing the heaven-sent power of Firefly.
Such a massive commotion naturally could not escape the Brothers Alliance's eyes. At this moment, Wan Youyu stood on the top floor of the Brothers Alliance headquarters, looking down at the bustling city through a broken floor-to-ceiling window.
His face was hidden in shadow, with only one crimson zombie eye flickering with an eerie light.
Facing the encirclement by the Three Overlord Powers, a strange smile appeared on Wan Youyu's lips.
He slowly raised his hand, and a low growl emanated from deep within the Brothers Alliance's core, like an ancient beast being awakened.
Immediately after, countless crimson eyes lit up in the darkness, dense and numerous, as if a sea of stars was churning.
