Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

He scrambled toward the nearest watchtower, grabbed the megaphone, and screamed at the top of his lungs, “Guard post! Guard post! Off the coast of C7! There’s… there’s a monster! A steel monster! Like… like a whale and a ship! Right there on the sea!”

The piercing alarm instantly shattered the tranquility of the port.

Soon, a group of fully armed naval soldiers, led by an officer, rushed nervously toward berth C7.

They set up searchlights, the powerful beams piercing the thick fog and locking onto that chilling section of steel spine.

The soldiers gasped, raising their muskets in unison, the clanging of bolts striking the strings filling the air, creating an atmosphere of extreme tension.

"What the hell is that?" The officer in charge asked, his voice strained, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Never seen this before... Could it be Xiao Ce from East Asia...?"

Should we retaliate?

Just then, that dark back suddenly sank, stirring up a large wave.

Immediately afterwards, in the stark white beams of the searchlights and the horrified gazes of the soldiers, a massive, streamlined steel behemoth covered in a dull metallic sheen—far larger than anyone could have imagined—slowly and majestically emerged from the water, like a mythical sea monster!

The icy seawater cascaded down its smooth hull like a waterfall, and the sheer size of the vessel created a sense of oppression that made everyone on shore feel suffocated.

"Alert! All personnel on alert! Do not fire..."

"If they don't attack, we shouldn't fire to provoke them... Go report... Go report to Lord Viktor King..."

The officer roared, his voice distorted with fear. The soldiers' fingers were gripped tightly on the triggers, their gun barrels trembling as they aimed at the steel behemoth they had never seen before, as if they were about to unleash their pent-up terror with firepower at any moment.

Viktor King has been staying at the port these past few days, welcoming the soldiers arriving from all directions...

Therefore, he learned of the unusual activity at the port immediately.

He arrived at the front-line port immediately, where some soldiers pointed at the enormous monster at sea.

Even after he put the binoculars on, he still didn't know what that colossal steel monster in the sea was...

Just then, the hatch at the top of the submarine's conning tower opened, and a figure appeared at the edge of the searchlight's halo. In the figure's hand, a powerful signal light began to flash rhythmically.

This scene was naturally observed by Viktor King, who had already arrived.

Long-short-short-long, long-short-short-long, pause. Repeat.

This is... Viktor's heart clenched, and his pupils dilated instantly!

Didn't Xiao Ce leave? Why is he back?

"Cease fire! Everyone lay down your weapons! Do not fire without my order!"

Viktor practically roared the order, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority. He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil within him, and snatched a powerful signal light from a soldier beside him.

They responded in the same long-short-short-long rhythm, heading towards the submarine.

The signal lights shone through the thick fog. The submarine's signal lights changed again, this time more complex, but Viktor understood them perfectly:

“Victor. I, Xiao Ce, have landed.”

Eight words, like four thunderbolts, struck Viktor's heart! Mr. Sean! No... it's Xiao Ce! He's back! And in such a shocking, mind-blowing way! Viktor's hands trembled slightly; after the immense shock came an indescribable excitement and a sense of certainty that everything had finally settled. He immediately sent out another signal:

"Understood. Viktor King. Welcome. Safe."

The figure on the submarine nodded slightly, then retreated back into the command tower.

"General... what... what exactly is that?" The adjutant beside him asked, his voice trembling.

Viktor lowered the signal light, his face still showing shock, but now replaced by absolute solemnity and a hint of barely perceptible fanaticism: "Shut up! Prepare the highest level of welcome! Yes... distinguished guests have arrived! Remember, everything we see today is top secret! Anyone who leaks this will be court-martialed!"

Ignoring his adjutant's reaction, he straightened his uniform, and led a few trusted confidants to the pier extending from berth C7 to personally greet them.

Ever since Xiao Ce impersonated Sean and gained Nie Bing's complete trust, he gave Victor Gold a "friend zone" card.

Therefore, at this moment, Victor King has absolute control.

After Xiao Ce received a positive response from Victor King,

The submarine's massive hull slowly approached the berth, emitting a low, grinding sound.

The heavy hatch opened, and a rush of cold air filled the air. Victor King held his breath, watching the figure emerge from the hatch.

The first to step forward was Xiao Ce, who was wearing a dark cloak.

His face was cold and stern, with sharp features and piercing eyes like an eagle; he was no longer the gentle and refined "Sean Aurelius".

This was the first time Victor had seen Xiao Ce's true face so clearly. The imposing presence of someone who had long held a high position and the unwavering determination that had weathered many storms were overwhelming, filling Victor with a sense of awe.

He was somewhat surprised; why was Xiao Ce showing his true face...?

“Sir!” Without hesitation, Viktor pounded his chest with his right hand, giving a standard Western military salute, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, “You’re finally back! You…”

Viktor King was unsure whether to address him as Xiao Ce or Sean, so he simply called him "Sir".

He then looked somewhat awkwardly at Xiao Ce's face, seemingly implying something...

Xiao Ce nodded slightly and patted Viktor's strong arm: "From the moment I returned, I stopped using that Xu family identity..."

Xiao Ce's words made Viktor King immediately understand his meaning...

Viktor King nodded.

Xiao Ce continued, "Thank you for your hard work, Victor. Is everything alright here?"

Victor King nodded:

“Absolute control! My personal guard has completely sealed off area C7, and information control has been activated. Nie Bing will not receive any abnormal reports for the time being. As for Ed White… as you instructed, we have not alerted him for the time being.”

Viktor King reported rapidly, his gaze sweeping over the bionic iron guards who emerged one after another from behind Xiao Ce, exuding an invisible sense of oppression, as well as Xiao Dingshan, his awe deepening.

Viktor King didn't know anything else, but judging from the appearance and imposing presence of these Iron Guards, they far surpassed the Iron Men under Nie Bing's command.

After listening to Viktor King's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Then let the people here continue their defense..."

Victor King nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Then, Mr. Xiao Ce...you..."

Xiao Ce looked at Viktor King and smiled, a knowing smile on his face: "Nie Bing and I are old friends... now it's time to meet..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King said, "Sir, you want to lay your cards on the table, is that it?"

Xiao Ce nodded to Viktor King.

Victor King said to Xiao Ce, "By the way, sir, since you left, although I've been in charge of most things here, Nie Bing seems to have sensed something. He's replaced the governor's mansion's defenses with his own men... I didn't dare interfere too much and expressed my dissent... so I went directly there..."

After hearing Viktor King's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "No problem, it's time to show off our muscles."

Victor King said to Xiao Ce, "Then go and mobilize the soldiers..."

Xiao Ce waved his hand: "No need, you just need to keep the soldiers under control and establish martial law..."

Viktor King nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he went to issue orders...

Xiao Ce then had Xiao Dingshan take a few Creation Iron Guards with him and they followed.

They entered the city of Lingas without encountering any difficulties.

At this moment, Lingas City was bustling with activity, and Victor King, who was following along, gave Xiao Ce a brief introduction.

He said his method was excellent, and now Alliance City is on the right track.

The rulers and kings of the various countries in the Western Alliance were discussing the details and a myriad of other matters.

They were traveling in Victor's car, King's car, so everything went exceptionally smoothly...

Upon arriving at the Governor's Palace, the area became much quieter.

Ed White reorganized the entire city of Lingas, and Nie Bing requested an increase in security forces in the area.

Therefore, the security level at the Governor's residence has been further increased.

They arrived outside the governor's mansion in Victor King's carriage.

They were stopped.

These are all people promoted by Nie Bing, and they now have their own procedures for entering the Governor's Mansion.

"Mr. Victor King, your name is not on the Chairman's guest list for today... Is there something urgent?"

Just as Victor King Kong was about to speak, Xiao Ce emerged from the carriage.

After he came out, several Creation Iron Guards from the carriage behind him followed him out.

"It's not that he wants to see me, it's that I want to see him..."

When the guards at the gate heard Xiao Ce's words, they were taken aback at first, but then they felt that he looked familiar.

Immediately, someone nearby pointed at Xiao Ce and exclaimed in horror as if they had seen a ghost: "Xiao Ce... Xiao Ce is the most dangerous person! Level One Alert..."

"Level 1 alert!"

As the people around him began to scream...

"Enemy...enemy attack! It's Xiao Ce! Xiao Ce from East Asia!"

A terrified scream shattered the silence. The guards frantically raised their weapons, but their courage crumbled instantly when faced with the five steel warriors exuding terror, their dark gun barrels already raised.

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised that they were able to recognize him so quickly.

In fact, ever since they left last time, Nie Bing had been harboring resentment towards Xiao Ce.

Although in Nie Bing's eyes, Xiao Ce never appeared...

However, she always felt uneasy, so the first thing she did after becoming his guard was to recognize Xiao Ce's photo.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Ce smiled faintly: "Put down your weapons! Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

Xiao Ce's voice was not loud, but it contained supreme authority and icy killing intent, clearly reaching the ears of every guard.

The energy core of the spear in the hands of the Creation Iron Guardian began to emit a low hum, and the muzzle lit up with a deadly eerie blue light.

Bang! Bang!

The instinct for survival overwhelmed everything; the guards dropped their muskets and retreated in terror to the wall, trembling.

Xiao Ce didn't even glance at them. He strode forward, leading a torrent of steel through the front hall, heading directly towards the governor's mansion where Nie Bing was located.

The urgent alarm finally went off!

The piercing sound of bells echoed throughout the governor's mansion...

The sudden alarm woke Nie Bing from her deep sleep...

She immediately pressed a button, then walked to the window, wondering whose it was.

After all, things have been peaceful here for quite some time now, and there haven't been any threats like this...

In the last corridor leading to Nie Bing's office, four Iron Guard robots were activated, their eyes glowing crimson. They quickly stepped out to block the way, their heavy metal bodies moving to form an iron defense line.

After walking out, they bumped into Xiao Ce and his group.

Their weapon systems, including a built-in rotary machine gun in the arm and a small grenade launcher on the shoulder, instantly lock onto intruders.

"Unauthorized intrusion! Identity: High-threat target Xiao Ce! Elimination order initiated!"

A cold, electronic synthesized sound rang out.

"Make your move!" Xiao Ce said calmly after seeing the humanoid robots.

Almost the instant he finished speaking, the Creation Guardians moved! Their movements were lightning fast...

It far exceeds the reaction speed of Nie Bing's robots.

There were no deafening gunshots, only several piercing "sizzle" sounds tearing through the air!

call out!call out!call out!

The eerie blue energy beams, like the strokes of death's brush, precisely struck the four robots!

These beams of light contain terrifying energy and high temperatures far exceeding those of ordinary bullets.

laugh...!

A sickeningly loud sound of metal melting suddenly rang out!

The first beam struck the chest armor of an old Iron Guardian. The alloy armor, which was strong enough to withstand heavy artillery fire, was instantly pierced by the energy weapons of the Creation Base like a hot knife through butter!

The beam of light passed through the body, leaving a hole the size of a bowl in the alloy wall behind it, with edges melted into molten red iron!

The iron guard, struck, froze abruptly, smoke and sparks rising from his chest. The red light in his eyes flickered wildly a few times before extinguishing completely, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud...

The other two energy beams accurately struck the head sensors and shoulder weapon hubs of the two former Iron Guards!

The skull melted and deformed as if cut by a high-temperature laser, and the sensors were instantly rendered useless; the shoulder weapon hub exploded directly, scattering parts everywhere!

The two Iron Guards instantly lost their fighting ability, their metal joints emitting a screeching sound as they collapsed to the ground.

The last robot's rotary machine gun had just unleashed a barrage of fire when a dense hail of bullets struck the exoskeleton armor of the Creation Iron Guardian, producing a crisp, rain-like impact that left only faint white marks.

One of the Creation Iron Guards didn't even dodge; it merely turned slightly to the side, raised its arm, and its energy spear was almost pressed against the head of the old Iron Guard.

Sizzle.
