After a period of fugitive-hunting, the defenses around Skysea City gradually eased, and the military lockdown was removed. However, there were still rigorous checks taking place at all of the important transport junctions in the city in order to prevent the same thing from happening again.

The defenses around the carrier-based vanguard group became a lot tighter, with all types of detection radars constantly activated to conduct surveillance.

The attack's success could be linked directly to malfeasance from the radar surveillance department, and the relevant personnel had already been sent to military court. Boundless Ocean Douluo Chen Xinjie would be keeping an eye on the proceedings of the case in person, and his stance on matters remained firm no matter who pleaded for the innocence of those people. Hence, they were going to be prosecuted soon, and their sentences were going to be very severe.

Meanwhile, there were a total of 20 large soul vehicles traveling along the highway toward Skysea City.

Each of these large soul vehicles was over 30 meters in length and over 8 meters tall, with 30 ma.s.sive wheels required to carry their enormous weight.

The vehicles were painted a navy blue color, and there were skull designs painted on them, as well as special military symbols, indicating that these were dangerous military resources.

In the sky above, there were 100 mechas led by two black mechas to protect the group of vehicles in case of any mishaps, and it was quite clear that the vehicles contained extremely important military resources.

Mobilization of similar military resources had already commenced since a few days ago, and war seemed to be imminent. It was undoubtedly the case that the united control center was overseeing the mobilization of these military resources.

The convoy continued onward in an orderly manner, and the mechas in the sky were relatively spread-out, with some of them inspecting the surrounding area, while others occasionally reported the situation to the control center.

The person sitting in the pa.s.senger's seat of the first vehicle was a senior colonel, and even the driver was a lieutenant colonel. There was an electronic screen in front of the senior colonel, displaying to him the current situation of the 20 vehicles in the convoy, as well as some surveillance statistics being gathered by the detection radars that were on top of the vehicles.

”The control center is being really urgent with their resource mobilization; is the war really about to begin, Boss?” the lieutenant colonel asked.

The senior colonel's eyes remained on the screen as he replied, ”Anything is possible before the actual order for war arrives, so it's hard to say.”

The lieutenant colonel rolled his eyes in response. ”Can you not speak like a politician, bro?”

The senior colonel and lieutenant colonel were cousins, yet very few people in the military were aware of this.

The senior colonel scolded, ”Just focus on driving! What's the point in asking so many questions? I don't know if the war is going to commence or not. To be honest, I hope the war will commence sooner rather than later. With the power of our military, the Dou Spirit and Star Luo Empires are no match for us. In my opinion, this war should've begun long ago. The earlier we unite this whole planet, the sooner we'd have access to more resources. The federation has been holding back this entire time due to the obstacles posed by the Dove Faction and neutral faction.”

It was quite clear that this senior colonel was an Eagle Faction representative.

The lieutenant colonel pursed his lips in disagreement. ”What's so good about a war? Wars always result in death; I have no interest in that. I only just got married, and my wife is pregnant. At a time like this, I want to be as far-removed from wars as possible.”

The senior colonel snapped, ”Alright, quit complaining! I know you recently got married, which is why I put you in the logistics department. Even when the war commences, I won't send you to the front lines.”

The lieutenant colonel chuckled, ”You're the best, bro! Speaking of which, how many soul missiles are we delivering here? There must be a ma.s.sive number of them to have filled 20 of these huge vehicles. If all of these soul missiles get detonated, the entire city would most likely instantly be reduced to ashes.”The lieutenant colonel shuddered as he spoke. He was well aware of what was being transported by the convoy.

Soul missiles were considered to be weapons of war in the federation, and their power was simply far too fearsome. As soldiers, all of them knew very well just how powerful these things were.
