“Something’s happened.”

At 9:40 in the evening, Harima, already uneasy because Ramira was trapped, was about to take a bath to soothe his nerves when his assistant burst in, flustered.

“What is it?”

“Yesterday afternoon, our people in Benin City didn’t receive Miss Ramira as planned. At first, they thought the Nigerian military’s sudden operation had disrupted things, so they waited patiently for a day.”

“But as of this afternoon, there’s still no sign of her, and we’ve also lost contact with Raham…”

Samuel hurried to report the situation.

“I helped capture those traffickers at the time, so I know the details,” said Luo Xiaoxiao.

But before these foundations could be turned into real strength, Artoria was forced to lead the troops out. Along the way, the cities and regions thrown into chaos without their leaders surrendered one after another.

After a long battle, even the most formidable warriors grow weary, for they are but flesh and blood. Isn’t this exactly what the tactic of overwhelming numbers is waiting for—the moment when exhaustion sets in?

If things continued like this, the pit would be dug too deep for Su Ming to fill in the second half. The mission was on the line, so he dared not be careless. He called for a timeout, ready to take the field himself.

Mina was shy by nature, but seeing Qin Yan bustling about to take care of her filled her heart with joy.

Amidst a swirl of confusion, as her worldview shattered, Kikyo cast a complicated glance at Su Yuan, who was busy in the distance, and uttered these words with an emotion she couldn’t name.

Qin Yan’s best basket in the first half came after a breakthrough and a dunk. With Davis drawn away and Robinson unwilling to spoil his old teammate’s rare moment to shine, the paint was left wide open.

Back then, the Holy Lord had yielded the throne in order to protect the Guardian Clan, swallowing his pride and turning a blind eye to the rest of the world.

“Why have these people come here? And how has all that evil energy started spreading as well?” Su Yuan was puzzled.

But he kept his thoughts to himself; if he voiced them, who knew if these perks would still be available?

Honestly, would Ye Nianlun really back down just because Chu Tianjiao said a few words? If so, how could he be considered a rising star of the Ye family in the military?

Remembering the earlier scene, Scorpion thought how even the Leaf’s sand shinobi, and even Orochimaru, had joined the effort to rescue Naruto—including his own grandmother, Chiyo.

As Xuan Yue conversed with the Elder of Time, Lan Hao had already swallowed two pills. The spiritual energy in the area condensed rapidly, gathering around him, his aura rising steadily. His body radiated waves of blue and yellow light.

Banners blotted out the sky over Mengjin County, casting the land below into shadow. Standing on the ground, the space between heaven and earth was filled with a roaring sound—the banners billowing in the northern wind.

Moreover, after firing the last five rounds from his empty pistol, Zhou Zixiu didn’t reload. Instead, he returned the 09 to its place and drew a grenade launcher from his back.

As for tactics like overwhelming odds, certain victory, or “capture the leader to defeat the bandits”—who first said these things?

Given their tragic circumstances, the black slaves, if recruited as soldiers, would prove fiercely loyal—something both Black Yeh and the others aboard the Interceptor had already demonstrated.

Then, from the heavens, a golden alms bowl descended, its dark mouth yawning open. As it drew in the spiritual energy around it, a mighty vortex formed, instantly sucking in every flying sword.

Upon seeing the slip of paper, Red Sleeve was stunned and reached out instinctively to snatch it, but the prepared prison guard at her side held her back, while the attendant with the tray quickly walked away.

With a flicker in his eyes, Ju Yi immediately realized where Liangfu was. He remembered clearly—this was the weak point he’d been encircling, leaving only one gap.

But now, at this moment of full military readiness, some units that didn’t need reinforcements or redeployment found themselves with little to do.

“What the hell…” The old gendarme, seeing this, nearly had his eyes pop out of his head in anger. He didn’t bother covering the main road any longer and swung his gun toward the ants besieging the city, shooting straight through the lead soldier ant with a single shot.
