Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

He fell to the ground, his right arm carbonized from the elbow, the skin charred and cracked, revealing the dark red muscle tissue underneath.

He glanced down at his crippled right arm, picked up the submachine gun with his left hand, stood up, and continued walking.

"People like you are truly fearless of death, therefore, you must die!"

Yue Sheng rushed out from behind the cover, rifle at his shoulder, and fired three shots at Cheng Feng's back.

All three bullets struck Cheng Feng in the back, exploding three bloody holes in his chest and breaking his spine.

He finally collapsed.

But in the moment he collapsed, he used his last strength to say two words into the communication channel.

"assault."

Four hundred reinforced soldiers have breached the first line of defense in the middle of the convoy.

The machine guns on the armored vehicles were still firing relentlessly, shells piercing through the bodies of reinforced soldiers and snapping them in half at the waist, but those behind continued to charge forward, stepping over the corpses of those in front.

Just then, another burst of gunfire suddenly appeared on the hillside on the north side of the canyon.

They are not members of the Five Mountains Association.

They're from the dark web!

Black Serpent, the leader of the dark web, sat in a command vehicle 30 kilometers away, watching the battlefield situation through a drone screen.

Behind him stood twelve core leaders of the Dark Web, all of whom looked grim.

"Boss, the Five Mountains Alliance has mobilized at least 1,200 people, with 5,000 escort troops, plus helicopters and armored vehicles in the sky. This battle has already turned into a small-scale war. With our small force, we won't gain any advantage if we rush in."

"One of the leaders said in a low voice."

"Who said we should confront each other head-on?"

Black Snake put down his teacup, which made a crisp clinking sound on the table.

"The Five Mountains Society has helped us muddy the waters, which is good. But directly seizing the Song Dynasty would be a direct confrontation with the state apparatus, and our dark web cannot withstand the state's retaliation. Therefore, we will not fight the Sharp Blade Brigade, but the Five Mountains Society."

"What happens after the Five Mountains Alliance?"

"After defeating the Five Mountains Alliance, we'll seize the Song Dynasty. Even if the Sharp Blade Brigade investigates, we can say we snatched them from the Five Mountains Alliance, not from the Sharp Blade Brigade. That gives us room to maneuver."

Black Snake stood up and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Pass down the order: all assault teams will cut into the battlefield from the north slope. Target—the Five Mountains Society. Do not engage the Sharp Blade Brigade; only attack the Five Mountains Society members. After the Five Mountains Society is defeated, seize the Song Dynasty in the chaos."

"Remember, be quick. Reinforcements from the Sharp Blade Brigade are on their way; we have at most twenty minutes."

The order was transmitted via an encrypted channel to twelve commando teams on the dark web on the north slope of the canyon.

Each assault team consisted of 100 people, totaling 1,200, all dressed in black combat uniforms and wearing gas masks, with only their gloomy eyes showing.

They haven't opened fire yet, they're waiting for the Five Mountains Alliance to make the first move.

Now that the Five Mountains Alliance has breached the Sharp Blade Brigade's defenses, it's the perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

"Let's do it."

The commander of the dark web commando team pressed the intercom.

Then, countless gun muzzle flashes lit up the north-facing hillside.

The Dark Web's firepower was all directed at the Five Mountains Alliance's reinforced soldiers.

The enhanced soldiers, who were charging toward the detention pod, were completely unprepared for the attack from the flanks. The first volley of bullets riddled the outermost few dozen men with holes.

Although the enhanced soldiers injected with the drug were immune to bullets, when hit by dozens of bullets at the same time, their bodies could not keep up with the drug's repair speed, and they fell down one after another.

"Dark Web! Are you fucking insane?!"

The white owl rose from behind the rock and roared at the north-facing hillside.

"We're fighting with sharp blades! You're attacking us! Are you out of your minds?!"

No one answered him.

The Dark Web's assault team had already rushed down the hillside and were entangled with the Five Mountains Society's enhanced soldiers.

The two teams engaged in close-quarters combat in the narrow canyon.

The enhanced soldiers possess strength and speed far exceeding that of ordinary people; a single punch can send a member of the Dark Web flying, gun and all.

However, members of the dark web are equipped with high-voltage stun guns and plasma cutters, specifically targeting the weaknesses of the enhanced soldiers—the stun guns can instantly paralyze the overly sensitive nervous system of the enhanced soldiers, while the plasma cutters can cut through their drastically increased muscle density.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere on the battlefield.

An enhanced soldier was struck by three stun guns simultaneously. His body convulsed violently, and his muscles began to dissolve after spasming to their limit, with dark red liquid seeping out from his pores.

He collapsed to the ground, his body rapidly shrunken and withered like a sack of dried-out flesh.

A member of the dark web was grabbed by the neck and lifted up by an enhanced soldier. The enhanced soldier tightened his grip with his five fingers, and a crisp cracking sound came from his cervical spine. He died on the spot.

But his companion seized the opportunity to plunge the plasma cutting gun into the enhanced soldier's abdomen, and the high-temperature plasma flame melted through all the internal organs in the abdominal cavity.

Both of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Such scenes were happening everywhere on the battlefield.

Yue Sheng stood beside the heavy transport vehicle, his mind racing as he looked at the chaotic battle scene before him.

The dark web is cracking down on the Five Mountains Alliance.

The Five Mountains Alliance is targeting the dark web.

The Sharp Blade Squad is taking out everyone who gets close to the detention cell.

In this three-way battle, no one has an absolute advantage.

"Captain Yue! The infighting between the Five Mountains Society and the Dark Web has bought us time! Reinforcements will arrive in fifteen minutes!"

The deputy shouted into the communications channel.

"Hold on for fifteen minutes! Everyone, close the defensive line! No one is allowed near the detention cells!"

Yue Sheng fired his rifle continuously, bullets piercing the night and hitting any figure trying to approach the heavy transport vehicle.

However, the battle lines in this three-way conflict are too chaotic.

Reinforced soldiers from the Five Mountains Society kept breaking through the defenses and rushing to the detention cells, while Dark Web assault teams kept infiltrating from the flanks. The casualties of the Sharp Blade Brigade soldiers rose sharply under the repeated attacks of the two forces.

White Owl lay prone behind the rocks on the hillside, his face ashen.

He didn't expect the dark web to get involved at this time.

The intervention of the dark web has completely disrupted the Five Mountains Alliance's offensive rhythm.

The original plan was for 400 reinforced soldiers to break through the defenses of the Sharp Blade Brigade as quickly as possible, seize the Song Dynasty, and then immediately retreat, with the entire process taking no more than ten minutes.

The dark web has now tied up the enhanced soldiers, turning ten minutes into twenty minutes, and twenty minutes into a stalemate.

This is the home ground of the Sharp Blade Squad.

Reinforcements are on their way.

The longer it drags on, the greater the risk of total annihilation.

"Listen up, brothers who've been injected with the drug!"

Bai Xiao pressed the communication channel, and his voice exploded in the encrypted frequency.

"Those bastards on the dark web are trying to steal our credit! Hold on! Headquarters said that if we can capture Song Chao this time, all the brothers who participated will be promoted one level, and their bonuses will be doubled! Your families will all receive five million in compensation!"

What he didn't say was that the data on the drug's backlash from headquarters had already been released.

The effects of the medication will begin to wear off in twenty minutes for the first batch of four hundred people who received the injections.

At that time, rhabdomyolysis, organ failure, and nervous system collapse will occur simultaneously.

All of these people will die on the battlefield.

Therefore, he must seize the Song Dynasty within these twenty minutes.

Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well make our deaths more meaningful.

"kill!"
