Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

Chapter 103 The Enemy is at the Gates

The day after the meeting ended, every corner of the Federation was gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and a tense atmosphere quickly descended, as if a storm was quietly approaching.

The cities surrounding Shrek City were like bowstrings drawn taut, the air thick with oppression and unease.

On the streets, there was a noticeable increase in the number of law enforcement patrols. They were dressed in uniform black uniforms, walking briskly, their eyes scanning everything around them warily.

The once bustling market became deserted, and the merchants put away their usual enthusiastic hawking and simply guarded their stalls in silence.

The citizens hurried about, their faces filled with worry and fear, and they communicated cautiously with each other, as if afraid of accidentally touching a sensitive nerve.

Inside the government building, officials frequently went in and out of meeting rooms, and documents and reports drifted in like snowflakes.

Although they knew that Shrek Academy had a 20,000-year history and deep roots, they were shocked by what they found when they investigated.

There are far too many families and soul masters involved with Shrek Academy. They have been busy dealing with these potential threats for a long time, their faces full of fatigue and anxiety, constantly discussing countermeasures, trying to find a sliver of peace for their territory in this impending storm.

During the investigation, in order to ensure everything went smoothly, suspicious individuals who were too closely connected with Shrek were placed under surveillance, and even many of their own members were isolated.

Unlike the previous adoration for Shrek Academy, the Federation now keeps quiet about people who graduated from Shrek Academy.

This is not an exaggeration; rather, the Federation understands Shrek Academy's size and strength and dares not be careless.

Fortunately, after the initial chaos, coordination between departments became closer and information was transmitted more quickly, with each link preparing for the impending conflict.

At this time, dozens of kilometers away from Shrek City, numerous federal troops were already stationed, surrounding the entire city like steel behemoths.

The legion that came to carry out this mission was jointly deployed by the Central Legion and the Western Legion.

The Central Legion, as the Federation's direct force stationed year-round to protect Mingdu, has always been known for its strict discipline and fierce fighting. The Western Legion, on the other hand, is stationed year-round in the wasteland, adjacent to the Blood God Legion, and is more adept at flexible warfare, especially on the ground battlefield, where it has more combat experience than other legions.

Each of them is a core combat unit of the Federation. Normally, the deployment of even one of them would be a major operation for the Federation. However, they were all mobilized here in order to deal with the possible loss of control in the future.

At this point, the joint command headquarters of the two legions had been established and was directing the entire military operation.

Inside the command post, officers sat around a huge holographic map, carefully analyzing the situation and formulating battle plans. Their fingers traced patterns on the map. Facing such a behemoth as Shrek Academy, even seasoned veterans couldn't hide a hint of tension and excitement in their eyes.

However, the forces mobilized by the Federation this time are not limited to just these two legions. As a large-scale conflict could break out between the two sides at any time, even the Federation military medical department, which was only established a few years ago, has been mobilized here to ensure logistical and medical support for the front line.

As this was the first large-scale military operation involving the Federal Military Medical Department, Xie Jiayun and Qiu Xun personally led a team here to oversee logistics and medical operations.

It should be noted that since Xie Jiayun broke through to the Title Douluo level two years ago, with the blessing of the Faith Cultivation characteristic, he has already broken through to the level 95 Healing Type Title Douluo in just two years.

This shocked the entire Federation's top leadership. While a 28-year-old Super Douluo was impressive, it wasn't unheard of in their Federation. But a 28-year-old Healing-type Super Douluo was something they had never seen before.

Aside from Ya Li's unrepeatable case, a healing-type Super Douluo is a rare find even in the entire Federation.

Furthermore, when they broke through to the Super Douluo level, they were all already very old.

Xie Jiayun is so young, and after she became a Title Douluo, her cultivation speed has increased rather than decreased. They believe that this is the closest the Federation has ever come to having a healing-type Limit Douluo.

The Federation military leadership made a great decision to send him here. Only by having Xie Jiayun personally oversee the rear of the Federation military camp could Yu Guanzhi and Dong Zian feel at ease letting their soldiers attack the behemoth that had stood on this continent for thousands of years.

Faced with such a rare and grand scene, how could the Federal Research Department, as a victim of this conflict, stand idly by?

In recent years, under his leadership, the research department, which is the largest military equipment research and development site in the Federation, has accumulated a considerable fortune.

On the night the strategic meeting ended, Xu Ziqian ordered the research department to contribute its resources to bolster the Federation's fighting strength and personally went to the front lines.

At this moment, with the support of the research and development department and the logistics department, every soldier's equipment is more advanced than usual, and their combat effectiveness is far superior to before.

Around the base, state-of-the-art soul-guided artillery positions and various new soul-guided combat vehicles were also arrayed. Even just looking at the soul-guided circuit glow emitted by these soul-guided weapons, one could feel their formidable power.

Each soul-guided cannon towers into the clouds, its muzzle aimed at Shrek City. With just a command, it can continuously unleash powerful soul-guided shells.

The new soul-guided combat vehicles move nimbly between positions. Their bodies are incredibly sturdy and equipped with various advanced weapon systems, enabling them to play a significant role on the battlefield.

The soldiers of both legions were on high alert, adjusting their posture, constantly wiping their weapons and checking their equipment to ensure they could perform at their best at any time.

With just a command, an attack on Shrek Academy could be launched, and a fierce battle seemed inevitable.

The entire military camp was filled with a tense atmosphere, and time seemed to drag on endlessly.

The sky was overcast, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe. The occasional bird calls sounded particularly jarring at that moment.

In this oppressive and silent sky, only four powerful figures traversed it like shooting stars, flying towards the depths of Shrek City.

These four streaks of light were none other than Yu Guanzhi, Dong Zian, Qian Gu Dongfeng, and Mu Ye. At this moment, these four rare, world-class powerhouses, whose combat strength stands at the pinnacle of humanity, are advancing hand in hand.

Their purpose in this trip was to travel together to Shrek Academy for final negotiations.

The walls of Shrek City below appeared exceptionally tall and majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the flags bearing the Shrek Academy emblem fluttered in the wind, as if still demonstrating against the Federation army.

The residents of Shrek City seemed to have sensed the tense atmosphere between the two sides long ago. In order to avoid being affected by the battle, they had already chosen to leave. Shrek City, which had been prosperous for thousands of years and was bustling with people, had now become almost a ghost town.

Only the soldiers belonging to the Shrek City defense forces were still walking on these empty streets.

A few people could tell from their posture and mental state that although they appeared calm on the surface, they were actually filled with tension and unease inside.

They, too, had no idea what the consequences of this battle would be, or whether they would survive it.

However, the wheels of this conflict have already begun to turn, and no one can stop them from moving forward.

A storm is brewing, and a conflict between Shrek Academy and the Federal Army is about to erupt. The fate of the entire Douluo Continent seems to be rewritten in this battle.
