There was silence in the carriage for a moment.

If Jiang Baota wasn't driving, he would really want to sew Qi Tongtian's mouth shut!

Ai Wanxin said kindly: "There is another one, me, Xiaotian."

"I am the one who lacks good strategic, military and scientific qualities, has not experienced the test of crises and cannot fully respond to major challenges, overcome major difficulties and resist major risks."

Qi Tongtian's hands, which were counting with his fingers, froze in front of him, and his soul seemed to be out of his body.

"But it doesn't matter." Ai Wanxin chuckled and said, "Then I will take on their major challenges, major difficulties, and major risks."

[Oh my God~] Qi Tongtian thought with tears in his eyes, [How big of a mess can a person make?]

Fortunately, the convoy had already entered the executive officer's waiting area. Jiang Baota stopped the car, and Ai Wanxin and her sentinels got out.

Qi Tongtian grabbed Jiang Baota's hand as he unbuckled his seatbelt and said anxiously in a low voice, "Brother, what did the host mean by that? Are they going to cause trouble? Is the general angry?"

Jiang Baota frowned, feeling heavy in his heart. He was afraid that from the moment the Information Bureau refused to give out the host's script, the other party had already begun to prepare to be a humiliator.

I hope they can get some relief from the heat. It's fine if they try to commit suicide for a while. After all, today is a special occasion. Their general may give them a little face, but if they insist on repeatedly testing the edge of death -

Jiang Baota's eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably. Someone was about to be in trouble in front of the whole country!

Chi Xiangdi from the Echeng base was indeed as Tai Shi Ning had said, an extremely low-key person.

Not only did he not bring any exotic beasts, but the size of his convoy was also very small.

Like Li Fanbo and Jian Huaixi, Chi Xiangdi graduated from the Army Officers University and has been serving in the Army. Naturally, the host did not have any fancy words to introduce him.

The residents of Glorious City, who had just watched the wonderful "performance", gave a few symbolic cheers to this low-key executive whose unimpressive motorcade, and then turned their eyes to the end of the road, expecting what kind of surprises the finale Maple City executive would bring them.

The live broadcast switched to the flying camera lens in the waiting area. The huge electronic light screens set up on both sides of the Thorn Avenue and the entrance to the waiting area projected the powerful figures of Ai Wanxin and the four sentinels guarding her. Four skeleton horses wearing heavy black and gold armor stood behind the four people, with scarlet flames burning in their empty eyes.

Jiang Baota, along with Qi Tongtian and the guard team, stood not far away in neat military attire, waiting for orders.

Han Ce stood outside the camera, using his eyes to depict Ai Wanxin's calm eyes and her upright figure like a sword drawn from its sheath.

The elephant team led by Dabai and Taishi Ning walked slowly towards Ai Wanxin with steps that made the earth tremble. They were just waiting for the host to finish introducing the situation of the Maple City base before they would follow them onto the thorny road.

The host's sonorous voice came from the speaker of the electronic light screen: "... Under the command of General Xiang Maosen, the soldiers and civilians of Fengcheng fought hard and defended the ruins of Ziyang City. They successfully established the Fengcheng Base. And our future executive officer of the Fengcheng Base also led dozens of survivors to the base after the situation was stabilized."

The commander frantically waved flags at the exit of the waiting area, indicating that Fengcheng's convoy could set off, but Ai Wanxin stood there motionless. In the images captured by the high-definition camera, she didn't even blink.

"Speaking of our Maple City executive, although she is the only one among the ten base executives who graduated from a non-military school, has not received formal military training, and has not participated in the base defense battle, she is the one who has risen the fastest among all of them." The host spoke much faster than before, and he smiled and said, "But I believe that many people in front of the screen have heard about the legendary deeds of this civilian-born Maple City executive. Today, she will also lead her sentinels who have the ability to move mountains and uncover the earth, through the Thorn Road, and climb up to the Temple of Dawn. What kind of talents will she and her sentinels show us? I have to say, it is really exciting."

The official in charge of the overall dispatch ran hurriedly towards Ai Wanxin and others. Before Han Ce could stop him, he saw the dispatch officer hit an invisible wall of air head-on. With a bang, he was bounced back and fell heavily to the ground.

In front of the Temple of Dawn, He Shifeng, who was already seated on the viewing platform, heard this. His deep brows raised and his eyes quickly swept across Feng Jingyi, who was sitting at the top, and Cui Zhengrong, the director of the Information Bureau, who was standing below.

He turned his head to glance at Chang Jiayi, who was in charge of the Military Intelligence Department. Chang Jiayi immediately understood and raised his hand to issue an order from the secure terminal.

The host continued with a smile: "Speaking of our Fengcheng executive Ai Wanxin, her life is truly legendary."

"It is reported that Ai Wanxin was born in 2017. The exact date of birth is unknown, and the parents are unknown. She grew up in a children's welfare home in Fengcheng. Everyone should be very familiar with the name of this welfare home—"

"Beep--" a harsh electronic noise came from the speaker. The image of the studio originally located at the lower left side of the screen flashed and cut to a camera on the Avenue of Thorns. The audience on the screen looked at themselves in confusion as they appeared on the huge light screen.

Han Ce wanted to run to Ai Wanxin's side as soon as the host talked about her background, but he found that he could not get through the invisible wall of air no matter what.

He could see Ai Wanxin's cold face and her thin lips slightly parted, but he couldn't hear what she was saying. However, a strong sense of uneasiness gripped Han Ce's heart.

Ai Wanxin said: "The reason why everyone is familiar with the name of this welfare house is that ten years after I left, it was closed down because it was involved in a child sex bribery case."

The air pressure around the sentinels standing beside her was so low that the air was freezing.

"Even though the orphanage had already been privately run by then, and even though there had been a gap of ten years, all they wanted was a specious connection."

"Because pens and rumors can kill people."

Ai Wanxin turned around, her eyes sweeping across the faces of Yin Yanhan, Pei Junlin, He Yang, and Qiong one by one: "Since they say you have the ability to pull out mountains and uncover the earth, then I will make dark clouds cover the sun, thunder roars across the sky, and a magnificent temple rise from the ground, and I will make all sinners bow down to the ground."

She turned her head to look at the thorny road with surging crowds and colorful flags flying, and said in a bone-chilling voice: "In my life, the things I lack the least are ups and downs, hardships and setbacks. I will not take a single step on this thorny road."
