A week later.
The Galaxy Empire Palace Hall.
In the center of the grand hall, several screens lit up, displaying street maps, military forces, facilities, and more.
Civil and military officials stood on both sides of the hall, their eyes fixed on the screens, curiosity and excitement etched on their faces.
Below the Black Gold Throne, the captain of the Bloodfang Clan’s Chameleon Reconnaissance Squad knelt, reporting their findings from the Dragon Rider World to the Emperor, Yin Fei above.
“Your Majesty, that is the Dragon Rider World’s military deployment. Please make your decision, Emperor!”
Yin Fei, gazing at the information displayed on the screen, nodded in satisfaction. He then acknowledged the reconnaissance team’s efforts, commending them for their hard work.
The team members bowed low, respectfully stating it was their duty.
Yin Fei, unwilling to let the reconnaissance team’s efforts go unrewarded, nodded towards Hong Yin on his left, signaling for their contributions to be recorded in the merit log.
Hong Yin nodded in response.
Then, Yin Fei rose from his throne, his imposing presence filling the hall, instantly silencing the officials below.
“My loyal subjects, follow my will and bring back victory!”
These words resonated through the hall.
The officials pounded their chests in unison, shouting in a single voice: “Emperor, where your banner leads, we shall charge with unwavering determination!”
Yin Fei’s eyes narrowed, his hand sweeping through the air as he commanded: “Advance!”
“Yes!”
.
Outside the palace, on the parade ground.
Two thousand soldiers of the Red Sun Legion, led by Legion Commander Ku Fen Si, were arranged in countless formations, standing in perfect order.
To the left, the Grey Sun Legion’s ten thousand soldiers stood in formation.
To the right, the eight thousand soldiers of the Purple Sun Legion awaited the order to march.
Behind them, a force of approximately ten thousand soldiers, all members of the Bloodfang Clan, stood ready. They, along with the Grey Sun and Purple Sun Legions, would be under the unified command of Legion Commander An Mi Xiu!
The combined force of fifty thousand soldiers emitted an aura of terror that, even from a great distance, could be felt by the residents of the imperial city, a chilling testament to their might!
Ten minutes passed.
A gigantic dimensional barrier suddenly appeared at the entrance of the parade ground!
Seeing this, An Mi Xiu and Ku Fen Si immediately reverted to their Yin Sun Demon forms, raising their right hands and bellowing: “Advance!”
“For the glory of the Galaxy Empire, charge!”
Fifty thousand soldiers raised their arms, responding in unison to their legion commanders. Then, under the guidance of their officers, they quickly crossed the dimensional barrier in orderly fashion!
Outside the palace doors.
Yin Fei, seeing Yu Xi dressed in combat attire, couldn’t help but ask: “Are you going into battle dressed like that?”
Yu Xi, regaining her cold demeanor from their initial meeting, nodded and replied: “I am a member of the Bloodfang Clan. I can’t just let my own kin charge into battle.”
“Good, then go.”
Yin Fei stepped forward. Yu Xi and Hong Yin followed closely behind, swiftly crossing the dimensional barrier and arriving in the Dragon Rider World!
....
Dragon Rider World, a vast valley deep within a mountain range.
The four legions, totaling fifty thousand soldiers, had arrived in this location, waiting for their final attack order!
Soon after, An Mi Xiu and Ku Fen Si stood at the front, turning around and shouting loudly: “Remember, we do not kill unarmed civilians. Our targets are the enemy’s armed forces!”
“Anyone who disobeys this order will be dealt with by military law!”
“Understood!”
Hearing the soldiers’ resounding reply, An Mi Xiu and Ku Fen Si exchanged a look, then issued the order to advance!
In the next instant, the army surged forward like a surging tide, charging towards the city at the foot of the mountain.
Meanwhile, in the city.
The ground trembled subtly, and as time passed, the imperceptible tremors quickly intensified into a massive earthquake.
It was as if a terrifying prehistoric beast had been born beneath the earth, preparing to burst forth!
People walking on the streets, vehicles racing along the roads, all gradually came to a halt as the tremors grew stronger. Every face was now contorted in fear.
In the city center, within the dark-hued Court of Judgement.
The Chief Judge, watching the images on the screen before him, lost his usual stern and serious expression, replaced by fear and trembling. Beads of sweat dripped continuously from his chin.
Not just the Chief Judge, but the surrounding council members were in the same state, their hearts filled with dread. Unease spread through the entire Court of Judgement.
They were in this state because of the sight on the screen: a monstrous army of fifty thousand soldiers, perfectly organized and terrifying in their appearance. Who wouldn’t be afraid at the sight of this?
“Chief Judge, what do we do? He’s back!”
“It’s over! Fifty thousand monsters forming an army, we have no way to resist such power!”
“Don’t be afraid, we still have the power of Kamen Riders. The military has requisitioned the power of the Riders to defend the nation!”
“Yes, they are just monsters. They are no match for the power of the Riders. Besides, don’t we have monsters too?”
“That’s right, the military has prepared. A large number of Mirror Monsters will be released from the Mirror World. Using their power, there’s no problem in holding off that army!”
The council members, trying to appear calm, reassured the Chief Judge, gradually calming his frayed nerves.
At the same time.
Outside the city.
Countless sounds of tearing through the air suddenly erupted. Ku Fen Si looked up and saw several missiles falling from the sky, followed by countless shells, densely packed and hurtling towards them!
Seeing this, Ku Fen Si didn’t even turn his head as he shouted loudly: “Everyone, keep advancing.”
As the words left his mouth, an inferno of rage erupted at Ku Fen Si’s feet, transforming into a swirling dragon that charged directly towards the descending barrage!
BOOM....
The colossal explosion occurred instantly, the fiery blaze engulfing the entire area, turning it into a nightmarish scene, inspiring fear in all who witnessed it.
With all the shells blocked by Ku Fen Si alone, the Red Sun Legion soldiers erupted in excited roars. In the next second, they accelerated, charging into the city!
Seeing this, An Mi Xiu, as the commander of the battlefield, began issuing dispersed attack orders to the officers of each legion, adjusting his deployment based on the situation.
The moment the Red Sun Legion stormed into the city, the nearby civilians were instantly terrified, screaming and running frantically in the opposite direction.
For a time, this area descended into chaos. Ordinary people fled for their lives, their cries of fear, panic, and despair blending into a cacophony, creating a scene of true apocalyptic pandemonium!
