In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Generally speaking, every full-time officer in the empire has a group of personal soldiers trained by himself.

These bodyguards were loyal to both their officers and the empire, and sometimes their loyalty to the former was even greater than that to the latter.

Having served in the army for many years and now being a major, An Tie is no exception.

The twelve imperial captains under Dark Iron were his personal soldiers, whom he promoted and trained with a lot of resources.

In Fortress No. 59, these twelve imperial captains have the same title - Iron Vanguard.

The Imperial captain who led the troops to launch a rainy night attack on Manor 5905 was an Iron Vanguard.

In order to train these twelve Iron Vanguards, Dark Iron has taken great pains.

Each Iron Vanguard is a powerful ground infantry unit, and is a battle-hardened veteran of the Empire.

They were once low-level zombies listed as cannon fodder in the abandoned city and participated in one manor battle after another.

Only those ordinary zombies who can survive the brutal battle and stand out can barely enter the sight of Dark Iron.

After being gifted with the Iron Bucket Helmet by Dark Iron, the never-ending battle continues.

The cold-blooded Dark Iron will not stop selecting the fittest. Once a batch of Iron Bucket Zombies is used up, they will train another batch.

Each training session requires a large amount of world points, among which the consumption of the iron bucket helmet accounts for the largest portion.

Most of An Tie's salary over the years has been invested in the troops under his command.

His goal is simple, which is to forge an iron army that is invincible and completely loyal to him!

From ordinary zombies to barrel zombies...

From the muddleheaded low-level zombies to the awakened high-level undead...

In the end, among more than ten thousand cannon fodder, only twelve Iron Bucket Zombies were recruited by Dark Iron as his personal soldiers after they awakened their spiritual intelligence, cultivated to the fifth level of zombie power, and successfully survived hundreds of battles.

And they will also serve as the pioneers unique to the Dark Iron, clearing away all obstacles on their way to the pinnacle of the Imperial military career.

The imperial captain who was in charge of attacking Manor No. 5905 was ranked sixth among the twelve Iron Vanguards, which was considered to be a mid-level team with much room for improvement.

But even so, ordinary plant spirit warriors are still no match for them.

The Iron Vanguard is wearing a set of solid and thick steel armor all over his body, which is capable of both offense and defense.

This set of armor was forged by Dark Iron himself by manipulating metal liquefaction, and has excellent defensive capabilities.

Even with the extraordinary firepower of the Machine Gun Pea Shooter Plant Spirit, it would be difficult to break through the Iron Vanguard's weakness in a short period of time.

The pair of steel claws on the armor, flashing with icy light, are indestructible and can tear apart the shield of the nut plant spirit in the blink of an eye.

In addition, the most dazzling part of this set of steel armor is the head armor that is shaped like a gas mask.

The scarlet eyepiece has thermal imaging capability, providing an unobstructed view at all times of day and night.

A good mask will filter the air and remove impurities that you accidentally inhale.

A complete servo-circulatory breathing system is also installed inside the head armor, allowing the zombies in the armor to adapt to any type of combat environment.

Therefore, an Iron Vanguard's spending on equipment often requires at least one million world points, not to mention the expenses on food, training and other aspects.

This also explains why, until now, there are only twelve Iron Vanguards under the Dark Iron.

"If you take a closer look at this Iron Vanguard, you'll find he's actually a super soldier..."

After a careful observation and summary of this Iron Vanguard, Mo Chen couldn't help but be amazed.

Although they are both captains of the Empire, their upper and lower limits are so different.

It can be said that this Iron Vanguard is the one with the strongest individual combat power among all the imperial captains Mo Chen has ever seen.

The appearance of Iron Vanguard also reminded Mo Chen of the camouflaged mounted policeman he met near the library when he was exploring the abandoned city.

However, although he said he was worried, Mo Chen was not panicked at all.

Are you kidding? Manor No. 5905 is full of hidden talents. The one who came is just a super soldier, not an imperial commander.

What's more, even if you are the commander-in-chief of the empire, you can't expect to gain any benefits from Manor No. 5905 now.

Manor No. 5905 has plenty of means to deal with a mere Iron Vanguard.

Thinking of this, Mo Chen couldn't help but rub Clara's little head in his arms.

After all, the magnetic mushroom spirit is the nemesis of all metal products.

His whole body is made of steel. If he were to face the magnetic mushroom, he would probably not be able to move at all.

A cute little Korra can put this Iron Vanguard behind bars.

If the opponent of this Iron Vanguard was General Iron Arm or Instructor True Red...

Wow, that scene is so joyful that it is hard to imagine.

"Let us face this rainy night attack bravely with the best attitude and the most thorough preparation."

Xiao Da skillfully put her hands on her hips and uttered words of encouragement that were extremely heroic.

······

At Mo Chen's instruction, Xiao Da sounded the alarm in advance to ensure that Manor No. 5905 entered a state of combat readiness as soon as possible.

A moment later, Mo Chen also arrived at the entrance of the medical center.

After the meeting, Eve returned and brought Odin's notice to several plant spirit warriors in the medical department.

After receiving the mobilization order, Si Bo Ke didn't even have time to eat. After hurriedly stuffing a biscuit into his mouth, he quickly rushed to the battlefield in the backyard.

Eve and Angela were preparing medicines and equipment. It was already very busy here before the battle even started.

Chao Lu, who was directing everyone to do their duties, saw Mo Chen coming and just took a break from her busy schedule to greet the owner of her home.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Chaolu, oh, and Eve and Angela."

Mo Chen nodded to several plant spirit warriors to show his approval. He also felt sorry for these model workers in the medical department.

"It's okay, owner. This is our duty. It is estimated that after tonight, the number of wounded people that the medical center will have to receive will increase significantly."

Zhaolu adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and continued:

"If possible, it would be great if we could add more staff to the medical center as soon as possible."

Hearing what Chaolu said, Mo Chen sighed helplessly:

"The number of medical units that the First Order Manor can recruit is still too small. If it weren't for you, Ms. Chaolu, in Manor 5905, I'm afraid the medical center wouldn't be as 'relaxed' as it is now."

Chaolu was slightly stunned. What Mo Chen said was indeed true.

After all, not all first-level manors can have an aloe vera physician plant spirit in advance.

Not to mention a burst of luck, where one might be able to recruit a rare Sunshine Mushroom Spirit or a conscripted Ground Thorn Spirit, and even have an acupuncturist's certificate.

The war manor can only rely on sunflower spirits and various medicines to maintain the normal operation of the medical center...

After thinking for a while, Chaolu said nothing more.

"This is indeed my fault for not noticing the situation at the medical center. I will find a way to solve it. I hope you will all work harder during this period."

After a while of comforting, Mo Chen recalled the purpose of his coming here:

"By the way, is Mu Mu in the medical center? I want to find her for something."
