District 10.

The Black Shield Police Department's armored vehicles appeared with overwhelming oppressive force.

The turrets began rotating, with vehicle-mounted grenade launchers and heavy machine guns initiating the attack first.

The Thug Prison refused to be outdone, deploying mortars and "hell cannons" modified from liquefied gas tanks, launching counterattacks against the Black Shield Police Department's armored vehicles.

The entire street instantly became riddled with holes and craters, shrouded in thick smoke!

Behind the Black Shield Police Department's armored vehicles, over a dozen thugs carrying rocket launchers quickly entered surrounding buildings, set up their RPGs, and pulled the triggers.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Only the sound of over a dozen rockets flying could be heard as the Thug Prison's combat vehicles transformed into fireballs one after another, soaring into the air.

But immediately after, several artillery shells came screaming in, accompanied by sniper rifle shots, and these RPG-carrying thugs fell one by one.

Just as the fighting intensified, over a dozen combat vehicles burning with flames charged out from the flank of the Black Shield Police Department.

Following this, over a dozen massive flames thirty to forty meters long shot out from nozzles on the vehicles, enveloping the armed armored vehicles.

This wasn't even the deadliest part - while these flames sprayed, large amounts of fuel also adhered to the armored vehicles, turning the entire vehicles into burning ovens within moments.

The combat vehicles behind the armored vehicles, or the thugs, instantly transformed into fireballs under the flame spray.

But soon, these dozen-plus flame vehicles faced counterattacks from the Black Shield Police Department, with over a dozen combat vehicles being directly blown up, sending massive flames soaring skyward.

Meanwhile, reinforcements for the Black Shield Police Department arrived from the distance, with figures of thugs from the Aurora Animal Assistance Association visible among them.

Clearly, the Thug Prison's intentions had thoroughly enraged the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, and they knew there was no need to continue hiding.

They simply took this opportunity to directly flex their muscles to all thug factions.

Therefore, the number of thugs mobilized by the Aurora Animal Assistance Association was also substantial.

On top of a tall building about four to five hundred meters from the battlefield, Yu Yuan lay quietly on the ground, watching the battlefield below through his scope, completely motionless.

Only the slight movement of his gun barrel indicated he was searching for targets.

"Strange! The Thug Prison and Burning Fortress commanders were supposed to appear in this location!"

After five minutes, Yu Yuan's eyes finally lit up, revealing a smile.

Found them!

The Thug Prison commander and Burning Fortress commander he had observed yesterday through the [Omen Card] appeared in his scope one after another, surrounded by protective personnel.

Beside the Burning Fortress's Flame Priest, a Flame Knight whistled, occasionally glancing toward the sky.

Yu Yuan knew what he was looking at.

He had spotted those eagles circling overhead long ago, and he had known for some time that the Burning Fortress had a habit of keeping eagles.

But his brow quickly furrowed.

Because on his combat detector, the grade information displayed beside the two commanders of the Thug Prison and Burning Fortress was clearly - Pebble-tier.

"Pebble-tier, how is that possible! Doesn't grade differentiate by status!"

"This is trouble now!"

His only hope now rested with the [Jackal] team and Loris.

Since the targets held no value, Yu Yuan swung his gun barrel toward Loris's direction, preparing to confirm the situation.

But suddenly an intense sense of threatening crisis descended from above.

His combat detector also displayed warning information about powerful creatures approaching, nearly ten in number, some rapidly approaching on the ground, while two red dots were directly overhead.

The problem was Yu Yuan's current position was 140 meters in the air!

Yu Yuan immediately froze, and soon he saw a massive White-tailed Kite with a wingspan of several meters descending from the sky, clutching a human figure in its claws.

"What's happening?"

Under Yu Yuan's gaze, the White-tailed Kite silently flew to an office building two hundred meters away, and the figure in its claws jumped down effortlessly.

Seeing the black robe with the "Black Sun" pattern on the other person, Yu Yuan instantly understood their identity.

—Aurora Animal Assistance Association missionary

And this was someone he had seen before - precisely the person who had presided over the sacrifice ritual during the exploration of the Orleans Hotel, and also the master of the spiritual creature—the Peering Raven!

Also the backer behind the Black Shield Police Department's Chief Hogg.

"Is he Green Robe?"

Yu Yuan hadn't expected that Green Robe had controlled another mutated creature, and this guy seemed to have a particular preference for birds.

No sooner had his raven died than he controlled another bird of prey.

But honestly, it was pretty cool!

At this moment, Green Robe stood at the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the battlefield below, seemingly communicating with someone.

The massive White-tailed Kite, after being released by Green Robe, took flight again and circled away.

But Yu Yuan's gaze now held unprecedented intensity and excitement.

Because on his combat detector, a line of prompt information clearly appeared beside Green Robe.

—Bronze-tier

"Finally found the mission target!" Yu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the current mission target differed somewhat from what Yu Yuan had previously imagined.

But, none of that mattered.

Just then, as several deafening roars sounded from the distant battlefield, the armored command vehicle where Loris was located at the rear of the Black Shield Police Department was hit by a shell and overturned.

The heavy tank seen in the omen, billowing black smoke, slowly advanced from the far rear of the Thug Prison.

Shell after shell fired relentlessly.

Facing the heavy tank's attacks, the Black Shield Police Department's armored vehicles were like paper constructs, possessing no defensive capability whatsoever.

One after another transformed into fireballs.

While everyone was still stunned by the tank's appearance, Yu Yuan saw that Green Robe had already ended his communication.

And simultaneously, the ground began to tremble.

On the combat detector, those several high-energy creatures blinking as red dots rapidly charged toward the Thug Prison's location.

Thump, thump, thump, thump...

Roar...

With a furious roar.

A nearly twenty-meter tall earth-yellow Armored Giant Bear charged out from the street, its assault target very clear - heading straight for the heavy tank.

Following behind the giant bear were several other mutated beasts.

A blood-red crocodile over fifteen meters long covered in hard scales;

A giant wild boar covered in black spikes with two-meter-long tusks;

A highly agile primate monkey constantly darted and leaped between buildings:

And so on...

With the appearance of these mutated creatures, they were immediately noticed by the Thug Prison forces, and the tanks began rotating their barrels, preparing to attack.

Boom—

But just before the shells could be fired, these mutated creatures collectively took evasive action.

The Armored Giant Bear leading the charge leaped forward.

Its massive body soared high into the air, arcing down to crash heavily onto a tank.

Screech...

The front of the tank immediately lifted high into the air...
