The last ice age froze Cybertron's southern iron gates solid, turning the thousands-of-feet tall structure into a smooth cliff face.

Make its appearance look like a mirror.

The mirror was slightly askew, reflecting a miniature planet that couldn't possibly exist.

Cybertron has never had a moon, but now, a full moon hangs in the sky!

Purifiers are weaker than the Northern Army, but that doesn't mean their overall strength is low.

At 0:34, the "Meteor Hammer" launched from the Purifier flagship entered the Cybertronian gravity well and began accelerating.

At 04:48, the planet hammer entered the atmosphere and disintegrated.

A rain of raging meteor flames cleansed the northern face of the planet, followed by earth-shattering tremors.

This is a real, literal sledgehammer!

It will utterly destroy the surface of Cybertron, turning it into an extreme environment.

On the surface, this is a tit-for-tat revenge for Optimus Prime's death, but there's more to it.

A colossal, expensively crafted warhammer smashed the Dosu Mountain battlefield to pieces, collectively taking away the Rainforest Tribe.

Completely destroyed everything on the battlefield.

Both sides were unable to glean any information from the battle of Mount Doshaokou.

.......

Then, there was a period of silence.

On the surface, it is calm... but beneath the waves, there are turbulent currents.

Thirty years have passed since the Battle of Dùshòu Mountain, and it may seem like nothing has changed. However, society is undergoing a drastic transformation behind the scenes.

Beiming, Qingqiu, and Penglai began to emit purple steam and hum.

The Beihai Naval Forces began to prepare for war.

This fleet, established since the Qin Dynasty, always went to war with every voyage.

This time will also affect the fate of civilization.

"Attack, we storm into their world."

This is the most basic strategic concept, also the expression of humanity at the Purifiers Alliance Conference.

Despite knowing that the opponent was powerful and might resort to unconventional tactics, engage in a brutal and bloody offensive against the Northern army.

Of course, this statement received zero votes at the UN.

And only the Mechanical race cast a dissenting vote.

After all, it was too shocking and outrageous.

A soldier rarely wins by using weakness against strength.

Facing off against the Union Army in such extreme conditions is simply unbelievable.

This insane idea also caused humanity and a permanent seat on the Security Council to be missed.

Because there are only three thousand years left until zero point of the universe, in the first millennium, all races need to consolidate the 80 star region defenses to prevent breakthroughs by the Northern Army and prepare for cold weather.

And the second millennium plan is to vigorously develop stellar energy technology, and in the final millennium, activate the civilization preservation program.

Military engagement and conflict with the Northern Army.......

Absolutely not.

However, human representatives also didn't expect the alliance to collectively support a counterattack.

After all, in the plan, the Alliance was not intended to be a spearhead for attack. The Purifier army only needed to try their best to hold back the main force of the Northern Army, especially the virus legions that were natural enemies of lifeforms, within 80 star sectors.

This way, the human race will find opportunities to stab each other and bleed them dry, seeing who dies first!

A very cunning scheme.

But it is also very reasonable.

Since it's impossible to guard against everything, then there's no need to try.

Before the North's army slew the Confederate soldiers, in conjunction with a climate of punishment decreed by the highest treaty, they sought out a sliver of opportunity.

But there are just so many problems in the middle!

First, the alliance does not endorse the attack proposal.

The final decision is that all civilizations should unite and form a stronger joint defense army, deployed within an 80-star radius to counter the threat of the Northern Army.

However, the United Front also opened a loophole, stating they did not oppose humanity forming its own expeditionary force and even granted humanity a certain quota for resource allocation and troop recruitment within the alliance.

The premise is that humans must increase the money supply.

Using currency to build a joint defense force is clearly more efficient.

Currently, under the guarantee of the Machina Clan, human currency has become the only means of transaction in the Alliance.

While the human race has limited assets and lacks sufficient general equivalents to ensure the circulation of currency, it's fundamentally impossible to sustain such large-scale transactions.

At this time, the Mech Clan entered. 01 informed Lu Cheng that he could issue a lot of currency, and the Mech Clan would provide guarantees for the overissued amount.

These agreements would undoubtedly allow Lu Cheng to obtain a large amount of funds in the short term, and he could also recruit a large number of alien warriors from different races and acquire a large amount of technology from extragalactic alliances. This is obviously beneficial for the upcoming preparatory stage of the offensive war.

But the assets of the Mechanical Clan were pledged as collateral for Lu Cheng, but conditionally.

The Machine Clan designated sixty high-value planets in sectors 01 and 02 for Lu Cheng to issue currency, which is equivalent to lending Lu Cheng a large portion of money and civilizational credit.

What do they want

100,000 captured troops, plus an assault rifle production line and a drone production line.

The Machine race is very sensitive to data.

In the early stages of the Dù Shuò War, the Prison Guard squad faced off against the Rainforest Nest group. The long-range fighters outnumbered the close-combat fighters by a ratio of 2:1.

After the cold wave hit, this number suddenly jumped to 1:1.6!

The Mekans immediately realized the problem...

The era of remote work has arrived.

In the snowstorm, 01 finally understood what Lu Cheng meant by that phrase.

They are not behind...

Indeed.

Not only do we not lag behind, but humanity's forward-looking long-range technology is at least four to six hundred years ahead!

Once you get your hands on the technology, it's sure to be a trump card in the winter!

And, the Mekka tribe always believed that the Northern Army had a high chance of surviving extreme weather conditions and winning the war.

For this, the high price paid is absolutely worth it.

Lu Cheng readily agreed to sell the Broken Prisoner mecha production line. The 100,000 sample units given out were for allies to try. If anyone finds it good, come buy it.

The production line can be delivered, and there is also monk guidance, as long as you can afford it.

But drones are truly not.

The

【齊天大聖】 is based on a unique mythical background, creating a one-of-a-kind unit. How can this be sold...

Thus, after the negotiations at National Taiwan University, Lu Cheng and 01 conducted over ten rounds of in-depth exchanges before finally signing an agreement.

......

......

The temperature is dropping, Shanhaiguan is driving through a star field with no heat source, the steam is full on.

Lu Cheng stood on the massive city wall, gazing into the distance.

If you can't defend against everything, then don't defend at all.

While the enemy is bogged down fighting our allies, we will march our troops forward and seize control of the sixteen prefectures of Yan and Yun.

He suddenly missed his old friends.

Looking back, when your brother Zhuge faced powerful enemies and led his troops northward on six campaigns to Qishan, was he feeling this way too

"Greetings, Senior Brother. I am not as intelligent as you were. Now it is my turn, Junior Brother, to embark on a Northern Expedition. There's a high chance I may die in battle. I hope you are well in the heavens..."

"Aren't you right here in the Heavenly Court now......." Yao Ji, wielding her sword, retorted.

"You too... Haha."

"Master Jian, don't pray to heaven anymore. General Huo has already arrived at the Dragon Boat. You'd better think about what you're going to say!"

"Hmm..." Lu Cheng retracted his smile, his expression solemn, and then rode his sword towards the Shanhai Feijian Bridge passage.

A while ago.

Dragon boat, and Ruifang.

"Lu Shuai!" Huo Qubing, striding with the confidence of a dragon and tiger, stepped into the market.

"Sit down."

"I'm not staying. A lot of foreign volunteers from the Xiongnu have come. I have to return to camp immediately after talking." Huo Qubing arrived in a hurry last night.

After the Alliance meeting, Lu Cheng obtained a guarantee from the Mechanist Clan, issued a large amount of currency, and the Alliance allowed Lu Cheng to conscript volunteers to join the human expedition.

Almost all conscripted soldiers have been sent to the 80th star defense line, with only a small number of volunteers willing to join the Northern Expeditionary Army.

However, the number is still very large.

The first wave to arrive, including the half-orcs of Gray Bear County and "Land" itself, numbered over four million!

And naturally, Huo Qubing, who was skilled at commanding and dispatching troops from different ethnic groups and minorities, was very busy.

"Alright..." Lu Cheng actually knew very well what Huo Qubing had come to find him for today.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, with numerous illustrious generals present, was notably missing Huo Qubing.

"Lu Shuai, Mr. Jia, and Taibai have already burned all the records about celestial-human resonance," Huo Qubing said.

"This was my order. The South Sea victory, but at the time, sailing technology limitations allowed the Nightmare race to escape... Those advanced scrolls contained many of our future concepts. If they fall into their hands, it will be quite troublesome," Lu Cheng replied.

"I'm not referring to that," Huo Qubing shook his head and continued, "The celestial response dictates that all forty-nine defensive strategies have been declared failures. Our army's divine artifacts and the compass premonitions also show this. Since we cannot defend, a counter-attack during the harsh winter is the only viable strategy. The burning of books demonstrates the commander-in-chief's unwavering resolve."

"That's right."

"The valiant cavalry commander of the Imperial Guard, Huo Qubing, requests to lead his troops northward!"

As expected, it's this matter...

"General Huo, the Northern Expedition is not everything. Think about it, we also need to assist the Allied front line and contain a large number of viruses. Otherwise, the Northern Expedition would be a suicide mission. Furthermore, the borderlands of the Unsettled World are also in need of generals to garrison them."

"Lu Cheng, my subordinate excels at surprise attacks, and moreover has more experience against mixed enemy troops." Huo Qubing's words were undoubtedly well-founded.

This time, regardless of the reason, Huo Qubing should have been seated among the generals, but fate had other plans.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

"......."

Lu Cheng fell silent.

Seeing that Lü Cheng didn't reply immediately, Huo Qubing spoke again.

“A whale scholar once told me that a two-dimensional being would have an all-encompassing view of a one-dimensional world, just as we in three dimensions see a flat surface,” Huo went on. “General Lu, your dimension is higher than ours. You should be able to design or perceive our entire lives up to this point, like an artist holding a brush.”

Lu Cheng listened, glanced at the card in his hand, 【Feather Forest General - Huo Qubing】......Life sketch, structure, skills.......All at a glance.

"It's too late to do anything about it anyway..." Lu Cheng replied, after the card was dealt, the outcome was no longer under his control.

"Mr. Jia once said that he wouldn't ask about his life history in the annals, for it would be pointless. He also told me not to ask, and I had never inquired before." Huo Qubing paused: "General Lu, today, I dare to ask a question: In history, why did the last general meet his end"

"....... "

"Even without the Commander's words, I can guess seven out of ten."

Lu Cheng let out a long sigh and slowly spoke: "Huo Qubing, the champion marquis of the Han Dynasty, won his first battle at the age of seventeen, decisively defeated the Xiongnu in Hexi, sealed himself in Langju Xushu, and died from illness in the sixth year of Emperor Yuan's reign at the young age of 23."

"My emotions are truly venomous!" Huo Qubing, upon hearing this, removed his face mask and gave a self-deprecating smile. "Alright, Lu Shuai, I still have some military wine hidden away. Let me bring some for you."

"Bribe me a little..."

"Alright, let's get down to business." Huo Qubing regained his serious expression. "Huo Qubing, the leader of the Flying Cavalry, requests permission to march north!"cil has made a decision. The country needs something to stir up the chaos, and what better way to release pent-up emotions than with a fight! Therefore, this year's Golden Fight not only won't be canc...
