Du Cong returned home, feeling restless. He always knew this day would come, but he suddenly felt overwhelmed when it did. Air entered and exited his body as this kind of controlled breathing soothed his rampaging thought.
"Summon the War Council," Du Cong ordered, and in less than ten minutes, all the best military minds of his base gathered in one room. Du Cong explained the situation to them, and everybody prepared for war. The council mobilized all their troops while waiting for Wang Wei’s map.
A few days later, they saw an area of the map rapidly disappearing, and everyone’s breathing rapidly increased. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Report the threat level," Du Cong asked.
"Energy level indicates a cultivator between Tier 4 and 5."
Du Cong frowned, wondering whether it was a coincidence that their first opponent was so weak. However, he decided that it did not matter. This is the path their civilization must take.
"What do you think we should do?" He asked his generals.
"I suggest we deploy one 5B squad."
"A squad? Shouldn’t one 5B armor be enough?"
"This is war, and we cannot take the risk."
"That makes sense."
Soon, everybody agreed on a safe approach, and Du Cong made the final decision. Under his order, one of the best 5B Squad — The White Wolf Squad — was deployed. This civilization has mastered space travel, and unlike the ones from the lower dimension, Wang Wei did not have to create a separate sub-space from them. Their space-traveling technology involved combining Light and Space Runes to navigate through the complex spatial structure of the upper dimension.

"Captain, are you excited?" asked a young man wearing blue armor with the head of a white wolf drawn on his back. He looked excitedly at a middle-aged man with white hair, a scar over his right eye, and the eyes of a ferocious animal.
"Lu Zhen, this is war — take it seriously," said a woman with similar armor. She and Lu Zhen were both Tier 4 pilots of the White Wolf Squad, making them the four vice-captains of the squad.
"Blue Flower, you’re too serious," Lu Zhen said. "How many times have we trained in the Void Illusion Realm? This battle will be swift, and once we’re done, our squad can be raised to 6B and even the legendary 7A squad."
All three had a brief light of desire flashing in their eyes. No armor pilots did not desire to become a 7A squad. Sadly, there were few of these armors, and the requirements were more than stringent.
"Blue Flower is correct — this is war, so don’t play around," White Wolf said seriously, albeit his tone did not hide his confidence.
"On your command, captain."
The other members soon arrived, which included two other 4B Vice Captains pilots and 103 3C pilots for a total of 108. All squads usually have between 72 to 360 members, and the composition could be real pilots with puppets. White Wolf was not fond of puppets, so he always used real pilots. Additionally, his reputation was enough to build a crew with only 3C pilots.
"Let’s go," White Wolf ordered after everyone had suited up before leading them to a towering gate. Everyone gazed at this door with wonder and longing. Only hunting squads had the right to leave the base to capture cultivators for training or research purposes. However, most of the time, a guardian would do the job, so even the hunting squad did not have much opportunity to leave, let alone them.
White Wolf took a deep breath before walking through the gate. He felt he had turned into a white light and was traveling at an unreasonable speed. The squad felt an eternity had passed traveling in that void while simultaneously feeling it was an instant.
