Night, eleven o'clock, Saint Paul's City, the sewers.

After a long period of investigation, Lao Hei and his team had confirmed the location of the sewer exit. The reconnaissance team was also approaching. Lao Hei immediately reported the situation to Jin Maohui.

…

Bana City, war room.

In the war room, dozens of staff officers, generals, and intelligence personnel were working frantically.

Su Tianyu stood in front of the large screen displaying data charts, holding a phone and shouting to Xin Xiaodong on the other end: "We've laid the groundwork here! Immediately increase the intensity of your attack and push forward at all costs! Attract as many defensive units in the city as possible! Make them feel like you want to break into the city tonight!!"

The temporary command center of the Third Division.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Xin Xiaodong responded quickly and hung up the phone. He reached out and called the chief of staff next to him: "Notify the Blackwater Legion, the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, and the An family's troops! Push all the troops up and launch a general offensive with the Third Division! Don't stop until we break in! Also, move my command post five kilometers forward. I'll be directing from the south side of the city! Draw a line from me! All soldiers push forward, no unit is allowed to retreat back to this line!!"

"Is it necessary for our command post to be so far forward?"

"The assault troops are already embedded! We have to attract as many enemy troops from the defense zone in the city as possible, and make them lean towards the south! Otherwise, the assault troops won't be able to get out, and everything will be zero. A week wasted!! Never mind, push everything up!! No combat unit is allowed to give me any excuses, they must dig in!" Xin Xiaodong glared and roared in an extremely firm tone, "You tell each combat unit, anyone who retreats from the battlefield without permission, creating a gap! I'll execute them on the spot! No room for leniency!"

"Yes!" The chief of staff saluted and went down to convey the order.

…

Saint Paul's City, the southern district.

"Wooo, wooo!"

The passionate charge sounded, signaling the final battle.

More than 40,000 troops, as if injected with adrenaline, launched a frantic general offensive towards the entire southern district of the city! The sky was filled with dense helicopter formations, and below were massive numbers of armored vehicles, rampaging through the city, clearing the way for the soldiers behind.

Waves of soldiers advanced with armed pickup trucks, with bullets and shells flying through the air. Even as rows of soldiers fell, more troops immediately took their place and continued to charge into the city!

The city was engulfed in a sea of fire, and the intensity of the fighting increased by two or three levels compared to before.

…

Saint Paul's City, the sewers.

The drainage pipe had reached its end. Ahead was a long iron ladder leading directly to the city.

The bodies of many guards were scattered around the pipe, and the stagnant water was stained red with blood.

At this time, Jin Maohui had already commanded a large force of thousands of people to enter from the other end of the pipe and began to move towards their location.

Lao Hei and his men were squatting at the exit, waiting for instructions from above: "The sewers are damp, check all your electronic equipment, and explosives!"

Everyone did as they were told, checking their equipment and silently waiting for the order to attack.

Da Xiong glanced at Wang Zheng next to him, who was squatting on the ground, his hands still trembling slightly, his face a little pale. Xiao Jiu, his personal guard, was standing beside him.

Da Xiong frowned and asked in a low voice, "You... you haven't been on the battlefield, have you?"

Wang Zheng turned his head, looked at Da Xiong, who was rough on the outside but sensitive on the inside, and replied after a long silence, "I can adapt!"

"You... your situation is different." Da Xiong reminded him, "Why don't you retreat first?! Go with the logistics support team!"

"I'm wearing ordinary soldier's clothes, no one will notice me." Wang Zheng forcibly adjusted his emotions. "There has to be a first time sooner or later. I studied special operations. What experience can I gain by hiding in the back?"

"Okay." Da Xiong didn't try to persuade him after hearing this, but he still admired Wang Zheng in his heart, because with his status, he didn't have to do this at all. He could have coasted along for ten or twenty years and easily gotten a senior colonel rank.

Wang Zheng was silent for a while, then turned to Xiao Jiu beside him and asked, "Do you have betel nut?"

Xiao Jiu nodded and took out a betel nut from his pocket and handed it to Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng tore open the packaging with force and stuffed the betel nut into his mouth to chew.

Many soldiers liked this stuff, it could divert their attention and ease their nervousness a little.

While chewing the betel nut, Wang Zheng's eyes were still fixed on the bodies of the guards on the ground, trying to break through the discomfort in his heart with this method.

Just then, Wang Zheng noticed that the communication light on the walkie-talkie hanging on the guard's chest suddenly lit up.

"Crackling..."

After flashing four times in a row, the walkie-talkie emitted a slight static noise.

Wang Zheng widened his eyes and stared carefully.

After a minute, the walkie-talkie flashed four times again.

"Crackling..."

Then, there was another slight static noise.

At this time, Lao Hei also received a call from Jin Maohui, informing him that the main force was approaching.

"Prepare to move!" Lao Hei received the order, waved his hand, and the team members immediately moved forward, preparing to climb the ladder.

At the same time, above the tunnel!!

A dozen soldiers emerged, waving illuminated batons in the dark, signaling to the surroundings. The once deserted street began to surge with Saint Paul's City soldiers, running out of the alleys or walking out of various buildings at top speed, crouching down towards the exit of the drain.

Several combat engineers approached, carrying TNT in their hands, and squatted at the drain exit!

An officer raised his arm, and two soldiers immediately stepped forward and grabbed the hollow drain cover.

"Swish!"

As soon as the officer raised his hand, the two soldiers instantly lifted the cover, and the comrades next to them immediately threw the TNT in their hands down!

Below the tunnel, Wang Zheng's gaze had shifted from the walkie-talkie. He suddenly stood up and ran towards the exit, shouting, "Da Xiong!"

Da Xiong was stunned for a moment and looked back at Wang Zheng.

"Retreat! They've realized it!" Wang Zheng strode towards Da Xiong, grabbed his body before Da Xiong could react, and pulled him back with force, "Scatter, hurry, scatter!"

At this moment, several burning TNT blocks suddenly fell from above the tunnel.

"Rumble!"

The TNT detonated in mid-air, and a blaze swept down the tunnel, with countless fragments pouring down vertically!

"Boom, boom!"

Immediately afterward, the tunnel collapsed directly, and a large amount of rubble fell from the sky. Wang Zheng almost instinctively pushed Da Xiong out first!

"Whoosh!"

A cloud of dust rose up, covering Wang Zheng's body as he ran outwards.
