The densely packed troops were traveling across the vast plains. The early morning light shone on the soldiers' armor that had not yet completely dried, reflecting a bright light on the smooth paint surface.
"Sunrise,"
Deep in the army, someone seemed to ask, "How long will it take for us to reach Chenxi City?"
"After passing through the storm corridor, we have entered the eastern plains. If we march fast enough, we should be able to reach Chenxi City tonight,"
A voice in the crowd replied, "But we are tired from the journey now, and most of the soldiers have not had a good rest. Even if they arrive in Chenxi City, they will need to recover for a while."
"It doesn't matter. Send the order, open the transport vehicle, and let the soldiers take turns to rest on the transport vehicle. The others are heading towards Chenxi City at full speed."
The questioning voice said without hesitation.
"yes."
The reply came immediately.
"Have you received any news from mercenary groups elsewhere?"
Soon, the questioning voice asked again.
"Not received. According to our previous agreement, after arriving in the Eastern Plains, the mercenary group of Qunxing Pharmaceutical will leave a contact person in a nearby city, but we have not found a contact person so far,"
The replying voice quickly said, "There seems to be some problems in Minter City, which was originally supposed to be controlled by Note Intelligence and West Steel. The liaison officer we sent out has not returned yet, and we have not received any information from the two major companies. Reply from the mercenary group.
"Theoretically, we should meet up with other friendly forces in front of Chenxi City at the latest before early this morning."
"I see,"
The voice asking the question slowly said, "Send a mecha team to act as liaison officers to try to contact the 'friendly forces' to the west and south. The entire army will continue to advance."
"yes."
The answering voice echoed again.

The bright red aircraft quickly flew through the void. He Ao, who was covered in blood, sat cross-legged in the aircraft and looked at the light yellow solution in front of him.
Then he raised his hand and picked up the jade box that was stained with a little blood and inlaid with tree roots.
The jade box itself is very strong, and together with He Ao, it survived the power riot above the Gate of the North.
However, it was inconvenient to carry around, so He Ao entered a spiritual consciousness and threw it under the destroyed mechanical spider.
There is divine consciousness in this thing, and it itself is strongly contaminated by the God of Order. He Ao is not worried about throwing it away.
After getting rid of Westan and Dailot, he went back and retrieved the jade box.
At this moment, there are various "bottles and jars" placed around He Ao. These are containers for extraordinary materials.
The label above is marked with half-human blood, silver sunflower grass, fire wolf flower...
Some of these were obtained by He Ao before, and some were found in the small warehouse of the Church of Order that came with West Steel.
He also found a pseudo-wolf at the Chaos Church's station. He killed the pseudo-wolf and obtained the eyes of the pseudo-wolf. At this moment, he followed the steps and merged into the solution in front of him.
Staring at the yellow solution flashing with some red light in front of him, He Ao took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and opened the jade box in his hand.
The brilliant dodecahedron diamond appeared in He Ao's vision again.
The main ingredient in the secret medicine formula that He Ao obtained from the Church of Order was the 'water of the Eternal River', but he had no way of entering the Eternal River, and there was no way to obtain the water of the Eternal River.
According to the 'instructions of fate', the heart of the Eternal Tree in front of us is a better 'extraordinary material' than the water of the Eternal River.
He Ao stared at the diamond reflecting the brilliance. Even though he looked at it many times, every time he saw the appearance of the diamond, he was shocked by the beauty of its order.
The dodecahedron itself is a symbol pointing to the God of Order.
This thing looks like a regular dodecahedron, which in a mystical sense means that it has some strong connection with the God of Order.
Ridnock once inquired about the origin of this tree heart when he was stationed at the Church of Chaos.
Judging from his records, the information he obtained is that the Eternal Tree grows in the Eternal River, and the Eternal River is connected to the Kingdom of Order.
But this is actually not important to He Ao. After all, he is not less connected to the God of Order, and this is not lacking.
but,
He glanced at the red glow of the solution in front of him.
The pseudo-wolf had already been contaminated by the God of Chaos when he discovered it.
In the same secret medicine, order and chaos.
Are you really not building a occult bomb?
He Ao took a deep breath again.
Hope everything goes well.
He held the jade box and slowly brought it closer to the solution that was flashing red light.
The regular dodecahedron diamond suspended in the air slowly approached the solution as the jade box moved.
And at this moment, the originally quiet solution suddenly began to boil without any heating, and as the diamond got closer, it became more and more boiling.
The originally 'quiet' red light was swimming violently in the solution like a violent snake.
At the same time, dazzling light burst out from the diamond, instantly suppressing the boiling surface of the liquid.
Some kind of invisible repulsive force appeared between the liquid and the diamond, preventing the two from getting closer.
He Ao took a deep breath, holding the liquid in one hand and the jade box in the other, and slowly exerted force to force the two closer.
But as the distance between the two decreased, the repulsive force became stronger and stronger.
He Ao watched the diamond tremble violently, as if it would escape the control of the jade box at any time, and the mithril beaker containing the solution was also trembling violently under the impact of the boiling red light, as if it would shatter at any time.
At this moment, He Ao's mind flashed, and he directly spread his consciousness upwards into the solution and the diamond.
In just a moment, violent and crazy whispers echoed in He Ao's ears, and two completely different pollutions simultaneously spread to his body along this mystical connection, collided in his flesh and blood, and further tore his body apart.
At this time, the "repulsive force" of He Ao's hands loosened in an instant.
He did not hesitate and directly brought the diamond close to the solution.
Some invisible suction came, and the sparkling diamond directly melted into the solution. The boiling solution and red light calmed down at this moment.
He Ao immediately put the beaker into the zero-degree ice water.
The liquid in the beaker was quiet for a short time, and then it seemed as if some invisible force spread out and boiled violently again.
The ice water quickly began to burn under the impact of this boiling force.
Fine cracks spread on the surface of the beaker.
He Ao watched this scene.
According to the description of the secret medicine formula, this step should be bathed in ice water for 20 minutes, but looking at this situation, ice water should not be able to calm the power in the solution.
He Ao quickly picked up the silver sunflower powder on the side.
Silver sunflower has the effect of calming and concentrating the mind, and can also reconcile extraordinary power.
He Ao added a little silver sunflower powder to the beaker.
The conflicting power in the beaker was temporarily weakened.
But the silver sunflower powder floated in the liquid and melted very slowly.
At this moment, He Ao quickly poured the solution in the beaker into a new beaker, and then directly placed the new beaker into the 160-degree oil bath pot next to it.
At this temperature, the silver sunflower grass melts the fastest.
Soon, He Ao saw that the silver sunflower grass powder in the beaker melted quickly, and the originally conflicting forces also quickly calmed down.
At this point, He Ao no longer hesitated and quickly poured the silver sunflower grass powder in his hand into the beaker.
The invisible entangled force melted quickly, and the liquid in the entire beaker quickly became bright, and some crystal-like impurities also quickly formed at the bottom of the beaker.
The secret medicine formula requires 30 grams of silver sunflower grass. He Ao saw how much was prepared in the order warehouse, so he took it all, a total of 120 grams.
As He Ao continued to add, the amount of silver sunflower grass had already exceeded the limit of 30 grams, but his actions did not stop.
Because once the amount of silver sunflower grass decreases, the power in the solution will riot again.
The method of preparing secret medicine is only the safest method explored by predecessors, but it may not be the most suitable method, especially when other things are mixed in the extraordinary materials.
He Ao was very fortunate that the auxiliary materials of the synergist secret medicine happened to contain extraordinary materials with strong "tranquility" effects. If there was no silver sunflower grass, this secret medicine might have failed just when it was in the ice bath.
Soon, the silver sunflower grass powder in He Ao's hand was about to run out, and the crystals at the bottom of the beaker finally stopped condensing.
Without hesitation, he threw the beaker directly into the filter next to it and filtered the crystals at the bottom.
Then before the filtered solution was about to "riot", he added all the remaining silver sunflower grass to the solution.
There was still some residual heat in the solution, melting the silver sunflower grass and reconciling the conflicts in the solution.
And the solution also separated into layers at a speed visible to the naked eye at this moment.
The upper layer was clear and transparent, emitting a little red and yellow light, while the lower layer was a turbid yellow solution.
He Ao quickly took out a mithril test tube, separated the upper solution and poured it into the test tube.
At this moment, as the temperature of the solution gradually cooled, the melting speed of the last silver sunflower powder was also slowing down, and the quiet solution quickly boiled.
He Ao raised his head and looked through the porthole behind the fighter plane, looking at the Gate of the North Country far behind him.
The red morning sun rose from the distant horizon, and the sunlight passed through the narrow canyon and shone on the snow behind.
In the warm light of this morning, an army wearing the uniforms of the city defense army was slowly approaching the narrow canyon.
He Ao watched everything in the glow, put the test tube in his hand to his mouth, and drank the boiling liquid in one gulp.
A fierce and spicy feeling passed through his throat and pierced his body.

"Good morning, Doctor Roger."
The young soldier who was driving hummed a little tune, looked through the rearview mirror at Roger who slowly opened his eyes, and greeted happily.
"Where are we now?"
Roger opened his eyes, slowly propped himself up, looked at the sun rising slowly above his head, and asked slowly.
"We have entered the mountainous area,"
The young soldier put one hand on the steering wheel and pointed to the forest in front. "There is a mountain road ahead, which is difficult to drive on. It may be slower. After this section of the mountain road, it will be very fast,"
He raised his hand and turned on the music player in the car, "Dr. Roger, why don't you sleep a little longer? If nothing else happens, we will probably arrive at Chenxi City in the evening."
"It's almost there."
Roger raised his head and looked at the mountains outside the window.
His eyes seemed to pass through the mountains and see the towering and majestic city.
Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the shining nutrition cabin on the side. He placed his hand on the edge of the nutrition cabin and sighed softly, "I didn't expect that we would come back one day."
——
North side of the North Gate
The morning sun rises from the end of the sky, shining brightly on the blood-stained hillside.
Broken roads, exposed rocks, and some broken corpses that were simply impossible to handle formed everything on this steep hillside.
Scattered soldiers were wandering in the mountains and fields, carrying simple engineering robots and collecting the remains of their comrades.
Ori stood at the top of the hillside, watching all this quietly.
"Your 'commander' is gone?"
A calm question rang in his ears.
"What, do you want to fight again?"
Ori turned around and looked at the young officer next to him who was wearing a mercenary regiment uniform and an exquisite military cap.
"It's all over, there's nothing left to fight,"
The young officer looked into the distance, looking at the mechanical troops slowly behind him, and sighed softly, "Before today, I never believed that one person's power can affect or even decide a war. Now I believe it."
"I always believed it."
Ori replied calmly.
The young officer raised his head and glanced at his opponent who looked younger than him, then turned to look at the rising sun in the sky again, "However, there is still one thing I can't figure out."
Ori didn't speak, just looked at the sky quietly, as if waiting for his next question.
"You should all be from Mingte City or nearby. You should also know that our target is not actually Mingte City. I believe that most of you have never been to Chenxi City or even know about Chenxi City. Where?"
The young officer spoke slowly, "You want to guard this door even at the cost of your life. What are you trying to do?"
He paused and continued, "Or is it that your leader deceived you and made you think you were protecting your homeland?"
"He didn't lie to us. In fact, when we left Mingte City, we knew that this war had nothing to do with Mingte City."
He glanced at the young officer beside him and said with a smile, "Of course, if you pass the gate of the North Country, we don't believe that you will really let Minter City go."
The young officer was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "So, are you really here to defend your homeland?"
"Maybe part of it is that and part of it,"
Auri looked at the rising sun in the sky and suddenly asked, "Have you walked on the night road? The kind of night road in winter where there are no street lights, no moon, no starlight, and you can't see your fingers."
"Um?"
The young officer was slightly startled.
