The lieutenant grabbed the communicator from the console and shouted rapidly but clearly, "Level 9 high-energy reaction detected, coordinates 128, 79, altitude 1200 meters, rapidly approaching. Forward patrol units, please confirm the source immediately!"
The soul-guided radar can only detect energy intensity and movement trajectory. The origin of the two constantly approaching red dots on the screen still needs to be confirmed by human visual inspection.
The moment the order was given, two mech formations that were conducting routine patrols in the airspace around Beihai City simultaneously increased their altitude and rapidly approached the direction indicated by the coordinates.
Not long after, the voice of the leader of the forward mech formation came through the communication channel.
"Source confirmed: A human Title Douluo!"
"Repeatedly, the source has been confirmed: it's a human Title Douluo, not a weapon-based combat unit!"
Upon hearing this, a chorus of sighs of relief could be heard throughout the monitoring center.
The lieutenant's taut shoulders visibly slumped, as long as it wasn't a level nine fixed-mount soul-guided shell.
Soon, the mech formation ahead transmitted another image captured from a high altitude at a long distance.
The image was projected onto the largest soul-guided screen in the monitoring center. After magnification, everyone could see that two figures were flying side by side through the air.
Each of them was wrapped in a cocoon of soul power, within which the figures of several young boys and girls could be faintly seen.
After seeing the two people's faces clearly, almost everyone in the monitoring center recognized them at the same time.
Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda and the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.
And Yun Ming, the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy and the Sky-Supporting Douluo.
Although these two are high-ranking members of the most powerful forces on the mainland, they shouldn't have any ill intentions towards the Northern Navy Legion.
However, the simultaneous appearance of two top experts in Beihai City made everyone present tense up again.
Without hesitation, the lieutenant grabbed the communicator again and immediately reported the situation to the legion headquarters.
While in mid-air, Huo Yuhao could clearly see the coastal city built along the sea in the distance below.
The city is not very large, with gray and white buildings stretching along the winding coastline.
Without a doubt, this is Beihai City.
As they approached the edge of Beihai City, Yun Ming and Leng Yaozhu slowed down almost simultaneously, descending slowly from the sky and finally landing steadily on a wide grassland on the outskirts of the city.
It has only been a little over two hours since the train was attacked, and they have already covered a distance that would take an ordinary soul-guided train several hours to complete.
However, a question arose in Huo Yuhao and the others' minds: Yun Ming and Leng Yaozhu did not continue forward, but stood still as if waiting for something.
Before Huo Yuhao could even ask a question, his gaze caught two rapidly enlarging black dots in the distant sky.
Two figures flew out of Beihai City and instantly swept across the sky above the city's outskirts, landing steadily in front of everyone.
These were two officers in federal uniforms. The one in the lead looked to be in his fifties, with a resolute, chiseled face, slightly graying temples, and two gleaming gold stars on his epaulets. He was clearly a federal lieutenant general.
The officer behind him was much younger, a woman who looked to be no more than twenty years old, with a pretty face and an upright posture.
But she wore a general's star on her shoulder insignia, indicating that she was already a major general at a young age.
Yun Ming's gaze swept over the two of them indifferently. He did not recognize the young female major general, but she was probably a rising star in the Federation Army.
However, he did have some impression of the lieutenant general in charge. Luo Tingxuan was born in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and is now the commander of the Northern Navy Legion. He is a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level and has been stationed in the Northern Navy Legion for more than ten years.
Facing the two Limit Douluos, Luo Tingxuan dared not be arrogant in the slightest.
His tone was respectful yet retained his military bearing as he asked, "What brings Your Excellencies to Beihai City?"
Yun Ming was well aware of the true purpose of the Northern Navy Legion's presence here. While it was said to be for defense against sea spirit beasts, it was actually to guard against Shrek Academy and to monitor the movements of Devil Island.
As the master of the Sea God Pavilion, if he were to appear in Beihai City quietly, it would inevitably cause unnecessary suspicion and commotion if he were discovered.
That's why he stopped on his own initiative, openly revealed his identity, and made his itinerary public to avoid trouble.
But that's all. Yun Ming won't give Luo Tingxuan a friendly look, even though the other party is the commander of the Northern Navy Legion.
So Yunming didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Send people to Devil Island."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingxuan's eyes flashed with undisguised surprise.
It's no secret within the North Sea Legion that Devil Island is Shrek Academy's "military training" base.
Every few years, a group of students from Shrek Academy would come to Beihai City and set sail from there to Devil Island.
Those trainees caused the Northern Navy Corps a lot of trouble in their attempt to get to the island. Some forged passes, others climbed over the walls and broke into the port in the middle of the night. Their methods were endless, and the Northern Navy Corps' patrols were extremely annoyed.
But the students always found their way there on their own; the academy never sent teachers to escort them. This had almost become an unwritten rule.
But this time, not only were people sent to escort them, but two Limit Douluos personally came?
Luo Tingxuan's gaze swept back and forth between Yun Ming and Leng Yaozhu, pondering whether there was some hidden meaning behind it that he was unaware of.
He tentatively began, "So, you need two Your Majesties to personally escort us? That's quite something—"
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Ming glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't overthink it. I just came to let you know."
After saying this, Yun Ming didn't even give Luo Tingxuan time to react. His soul power surged out again, enveloping Huo Yuhao and the others once more.
He and Leng Yaozhu took off at the same time, flying towards the North Sea, leaving the two generals standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.
Luo Tingxuan frowned slightly as he looked in the direction where Yun Ming had disappeared.
The young female major general behind him stepped forward and stood beside Luo Tingxuan, her gaze also fixed on the direction where Yun Ming had disappeared.
Her name is Shen Xing. At a young age, she has already risen to the rank of major general. In the Northern Navy Corps, she is widely regarded as the most promising candidate to succeed Luo Tingxuan as corps commander after he retires.
At this moment, her cool voice rang out softly, "Senior Brother, is the Sky-Supporting Douluo really just here to deliver someone?"
Luo Tingxuan turned around, looked at his junior sister who was always meticulous, and slowly shook his head: "Even if it's not, with the strength of the Sky-Supporting Douluo, if he really wants to do something, our entire Northern Navy Legion can't stop him even if we're all tied together."
After saying that, he sighed heavily, his voice filled with weariness and helplessness: "I can only hope that nothing unexpected happens."
Finally, he composed himself, regaining his composure and decisiveness as a legion commander. He turned to look at Shen Xing and ordered in a deep voice, "Give the order: the entire army will immediately enter a state of Level 3 combat readiness."
"Recently, everyone has been on high alert, closely monitoring any activity in the Devil's Island area. Any unusual activity must be reported immediately."
Shen Xing's expression turned serious, and her voice was crisp and clear: "Yes!"
