213: Dragnet
He finally understood why Commander Wang Qingtian chose to express his final protest by self-destructing!
This was not just a murder; it was a betrayal of all the soldiers who had fought and bled for the Federation!
Almost at the same time, several senior Elders of the Martial Alliance experienced the same thing.
When the bloody truth was laid before them, these old men, who were used to seeing life and death, trembled with rage.
"Qin Wuyan, how dare he go too far!"
"He is trying to destroy the Foundation of the Federation!"
After showing them the evidence, Su Lei's voice calmly resonated in their minds: "In three hours, the West will move against the Federation forces in Iron Prison."
"I don't need you to act, I just need you to remain inactive when you receive a distress signal from Iron Prison."
Cutting off contact with the outside world, Su Lei's consciousness returned to the Western Command Center.
"The pieces have been laid. Now, it's time for the actors to take the stage."
Half an hour later, a communication request was sent from the Western Command Center to Beiliang City Airport.
In the holographic projection, Chen Xuan's face was full of exhaustion.
"Lord Iron Prison..."
Chen Xuan's voice was hoarse: "After careful discussion, we have decided to accept the Federation's conscription."
"General Zhao Wufeng will lead five thousand elite Western troops to Red Stone Canyon to rendezvous with your forces."
On the other end of the screen, Iron Prison's electronic eye under his tactical goggles flickered. His massive data System quickly analyzed Chen Xuan's micro-expressions and tone, ultimately concluding that a fierce argument had taken place within their Ranks, with the cautious faction finally overwhelming the radical faction.
Everything was as the President had predicted.
"Very good..."
Iron Prison's voice held a hint of satisfaction, "Elder Chen's profound righteousness will be remembered by the Federation."
"My forces will depart immediately and are expected to arrive at First Sky Canyon in two hours. At that time, we will split into two routes to form a pincer attack on Red Stone Canyon."
"Everything will be arranged by Lord Iron Prison."
The communication was cut.
Iron Prison immediately ordered four Mecha Grandmasters to lead the Federation troops.
He himself began to contact the Federation's mobile units deployed around the West.
He wanted to cast a large net; as long as the main Western forces dared to make a move, he would immediately close the net!
However, all the communication requests he sent were like stones sinking into the sea, receiving no response.
"What's going on?"
Iron Prison felt a sense of unease and immediately switched to the highest encryption channel, directly calling Commander Zhang Jing.
"Commander Zhang! Why are the units around the West not responding to my orders?"
There was a moment of silence in the communicator before Zhang Jing's emotionless voice came through: "A large-scale beast tide counterattack has occurred in the Northern Core Combat Zone, and all mobile units have been deployed to the battlefield."
"What?"
Iron Prison's core reactor flared brightly, "Why have I not received any battle reports?"
"Urgent military situation, battle reports are currently being drafted."
Zhang Jing's answer was watertight: "Grandmaster Iron Prison, please focus on your mission and do not interfere with military command with such trivial matters."
With that, the communication was directly cut off.
Iron Prison stood stunned, a strong sense of unease instantly surging within him.
But his massive data System repeatedly simulated the situation and found no flaws.
Perhaps he was overthinking it.
He finally suppressed his doubts, activated his military aircraft, and pursued the troops.
But what he didn't see was that shortly after he left, the Martial Alliance, which had been silent, suddenly issued a top-level announcement.
The Martial Alliance would hold a three-day joint martial arts exercise on the Western border, during which any non-Martial Alliance personnel and aircraft were prohibited from approaching.
This announcement, like an invisible barrier, instantly cut off all possible reinforcement routes for Iron Prison.
A net, a trap, was now fully spread... First Sky Canyon.
The cliffs were like cut, with only a narrow path in the middle, like the throat of a giant beast.
The Federation troops led by Iron Prison were traveling through this natural death corridor.
The huge transport convoy moved slowly like a steel python.
The carriages were sealed with heavy alloy armor, and the occasional hint of coldness and brutality that leaked out made the surrounding air oppressive.
"Report, entered the middle section of the canyon, everything is normal."
"Report, no energy reactions detected."
The calmer it was, the more Iron Prison's unease churned within him.
Just as the convoy was about to exit the canyon, a buzzing sound erupted!
Invisible fluctuations spread from the cliffs on both sides, covering the entire Domain!
"Alert! Strong signal interference!"
"Alert! Communication lost!"
"Alert! Satellite positioning failed!"
A series of sharp alarms screamed frantically in Iron Prison's cockpit! His heart sank sharply!
They had been ambushed!
"All units, prepare for battle! Activate maximum power shields!"
Before Iron Prison's command could fully register, the entire canyon began to tremble violently!
Above the cliffs, countless rune Formations lit up with dazzling light!
The earth was torn apart, and thick, rune-covered vines, like Hellish giant pythons, tightly wrapped around one transport vehicle after another!
The sky was obscured, and countless hundred-ton boulders, with a destructive roar, crashed down!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The collision of boulders and energy shields erupted in earth-shattering roars!
But those rune vines could absorb energy, and the Federation troops' shields were visibly dimming at a rapid rate!
In the chaos, at both ends of the canyon and on top of the cliffs, two huge rockfalls crashed down, completely sealing off all escape routes!
The trap closed!
As the Federation troops scrambled, countless figures quietly appeared at both ends of the canyon and on top of the cliffs!
"Fire!"
At Lin Qianqian's command, a rain of armor-piercing arrows and electromagnetic pulse grenades poured down!
"Damn it!"
Iron Prison piloted his fighter plane in a dive, clearing a vacuum.
He instantly assessed the situation and issued his final command:
"All transport units, release, battle sequence!"
Following the command, the transport carriages, entangled by vines, exploded from within!
Amidst inhuman roars, monsters over three meters tall, covered in black keratin and with bat-like wings on their backs, rushed out!
Demonic Modified Humans! These were Qin Wuyan's true relief supplies!
A full five hundred fearless Demonic Modified Humans roared and charged towards the Western army on the cliffs. Regular bullets only sparked off their bodies!
Just as the battle was about to become fierce, a clear Phoenix cry, overriding all the clamor on the battlefield, rang out!
Xiao Yuwei's figure appeared directly above the canyon, and behind her, the Ice Crystal Phoenix's phantom slowly emerged!
The Ice Phoenix Domain, unfolded!
In an instant, the temperature of the entire canyon plummeted to freezing point!
Pale white ice feathers fell from the sky. The movements of the frantically climbing Demonic Modified Humans instantly became sluggish, thick frost rapidly condensed on their bodies, and countless cracks appeared on their black keratin layer! A chill pierced directly into their Souls, freezing their few remaining senses!
"What kind of power is this?"
Iron Prison in the air watched this miraculous scene in horror.
