In the core area of the Great Berlin City-State, a towering mountain stands. The mountain rises a thousand meters from the ground, with steep cliffs like pillars of the sky. On the flat summit, a cluster of dark gray metal buildings stands majestically. This is the Executive Government of the Great Berlin City-State, the highest authority governing the city-state's hundreds of millions of citizens.

On the highest terrace of the Executive Government, Fainlan, the Fire Empress, held a cup of wine as red as blood, leaning lazily against the railing, quietly gazing at the southern defense line of the Great Berlin City-State, which was ablaze with fire hundreds of miles away.

The 9527th section of the southern wall had already been breached by the Yin clan's army. Tens of thousands of elite troops from the Great Berlin City-State were defeated, with thousands dead or wounded, and the rest laying down their weapons to become captives of the Yin clan. Even over a hundred young men and women with divine powers, directly under the Executive Government, were captured alive by the Yin clan. Dozens of districts and millions of citizens had already fallen under the control of the Yin clan.

"Significant losses, but that's all!" Fainlan disdainfully raised her wine glass and drank the sweet and fragrant wine in one gulp.

The Great Berlin City-State has hundreds of millions of citizens, with over two hundred million living in the main city alone. The vast city stretches for thousands of miles, divided into tens of thousands of districts. The temporary control of a few dozen districts and a few million citizens by the Yin clan was nothing significant.

Thinking of Jiang Rensheng's promise to the thirteen Grand Executives of the Great Berlin City-State, and the enormous benefits the city-state would gain after the Jiang clan obtained their ancestors' relics, a charming smile bloomed on Fainlan's beautiful face. Her graceful and noble demeanor was like a blood-red rose suddenly blooming, making one feel dazed and enchanted.

A middle-aged man in fine clothing greedily and openly examined Fainlan's exquisite face and graceful figure. His eyes were slightly red, with a burning desire raging in them. If not for the presence of a few other finely dressed men and women, he might have already approached Fainlan and made some improper gestures.

"Empress Fire, you seem to be in a good mood? But your people just reported that your youngest disciple, Fenesis, was captured by those damned vampires, and the Yin clan's army has already invaded the Great Berlin City-State! Aren't you at all worried?" The man, barely suppressing his inner flames, asked Fainlan with a sly smile.

"What's there to worry about?" Fainlan threw the crystal glass far away. The shiny wine glass flew hundreds of meters, drawing a beautiful arc, and fell straight from the peak of the mountain known as 'Executive Government Mountain' to the ground a thousand meters below.

"They came here, just as we planned. Didn't we set everything up for their arrival?" Fainlan smiled and glanced at the five finely dressed men and women beside her. "If they didn't come, wouldn't it be a waste for the five noble Grand Executives of the Milan City-State to have made the long journey here?"

The finely dressed men and women laughed together, each raising their heads arrogantly, displaying a very impressive demeanor.

The Milan City-State is located on the Italian Peninsula of the former European continent. In the Lawless Era, when humans were still the sole rulers of the land, Milan was a fashionable city, representing the pinnacle of human civilization's art and culture.

Even in the Lawless Era, as the chaotic era was about to end, Milan remained a city of luxury and extravagance, frivolity, and arrogance. Their strength was not strong, at least much weaker than the Great Berlin City-State, but they had achieved astonishing greatness in material enjoyment and artistic accomplishments.

Therefore, the Milan City-State has always been considered a vassal of the Great Berlin City-State. Although they were allies, the Great Berlin City-State, with its formidable strength, always dominated all affairs between the two city-states. The five Grand Executives of the Milan City-State secretly infiltrated the Great Berlin City-State from afar, naturally at the behest of Fainlan and others.

On the terrace where they were observing the battle, a strange magical array was set up.

Six gold towers, each three feet tall, were neatly arranged on the terrace according to the six directions. Near each gold tower, three silver banners were inserted. These banners, six feet long, were adorned with numerous cloud and light patterns. As the wind blew, the banners fluttered, and a large amount of silver-black mist rolled out.

Near these banners, a large number of one-foot-long ox-horn daggers were neatly inserted.

The bronze ox-horn daggers were covered with green rust, looking ancient and colorful. There were a total of 108 daggers, with countless strange divine inscriptions densely carved on their blades. Although the blades were also covered with rust, when sunlight shone on these bronze daggers, a dark green light would occasionally flash, so sharp that one could not look directly at it.

This was a powerful divine array lent by the Jiang clan to the Great Berlin City-State to defend the Executive Government, called the 'Ten Thousand Li Cloud Smoke Extermination Demon-Slaying Hexagonal Killing Array.' As long as six people of equal strength controlled the gold towers, they could easily handle a hundredfold enemy attack.

The other twelve Grand Executives of the Great Berlin City-State, along with a large number of elite troops, followed the Jiang clan to wait for the opening of the ancestral cave left by the Jiang clan. The city-state's self-defense forces were almost completely depleted. Yin Xuege's incredible escape from the Blood Prison, and his taking away of two super criminals from the Great Berlin City-State, raised the alert of Fainlan and others.

To prevent the Yin clan from taking advantage of the city-state's internal weakness and attacking, the Jiang clan specially lent this powerful divine array to the Great Berlin City-State and helped them set it up properly!

If the Yin clan did not come, it would be fine. If they dared to invade the Great Berlin City-State, as long as they approached within ten miles of the Executive Government Mountain, the array could be activated to trap all the invaders. Then, whether to kill or capture them would depend on Fainlan's will.

"This loss is nothing if we can kill a few more of the Yin clan's experts. The deaths of some lowly civilians and incompetent waste are insignificant," Fainlan said, her hands on the railing, her voice cold and sinister. "Even Fenesis is just a bait I threw out! If she survives, it's her luck. If she dies, it's her fate!"

Turning around, she smiled at the finely dressed man and asked softly, "To sacrifice for the happiness and peace of the Great Berlin City-State's hundreds of millions of citizens, to sacrifice for the eradication of the evil Yin clan vampires, is their honor! Don't you think so, Lord Galbordi?"

Galbordi, the top Grand Executive of the Milan City-State, known as 'Sky Wind Dragon,' shivered slightly. He shuddered and then smiled, nodding repeatedly at Fainlan. "Respected Empress Fire, you are absolutely right! With the great era about to arrive, more and more descendants with the blood of ancient gods are awakening. Although Fenesis and others are considered good talents now, they are nothing more than that!"

Galbordi's gaze became lecherous again, and he stared intently at Fainlan's prominent chest, swallowing hard. "Perhaps in two years, they will be nothing! To sacrifice for the benefit of the countless citizens of the Great Berlin City-State at this time is their honor! It's a pity, Fenesis is really a nice little beauty!"

The other Grand Executives from the Milan City-State laughed together, especially the two finely dressed women, who looked at Galbordi with a flirtatious gaze. The lifestyle of the Milan City-State was luxurious, especially the private lives of their upper echelons, which could be described as decadent. No one knew Galbordi better than they did.

Fainlan smiled slightly, exuding a tempting fragrance, and quietly walked to Galbordi, placing her white, tender hand lightly on his chest, gently caressing it.

"Galbordi, are you really interested in such a naive girl? Perhaps, you can have better pursuits!" Fainlan's eyes were hazy as she threw a flirtatious glance at Galbordi. "If our plan goes smoothly this time, anything is possible!"

Galbordi looked at Fainlan with a dazed expression, smiling foolishly, almost drooling. He grabbed his chest with both hands, holding Fainlan's hand tightly, and then loudly sang in an operatic aria.

"Respected Empress Fire Fainlan, your will is the guide of my soul! I will follow your will and turn those evil and ugly vampires into ashes!" He paused, then his hand rubbed Fainlan's small hand forcefully. "Of course, beautiful, wise, generous, and kind as you are, you won't forget your promise to us, right?"

Fainlan felt a wave of disgust. She barely suppressed the urge to burn Galbordi to ashes and smiled even sweeter. "Of course not, respected Sky Wind Dragon Galbordi. We are old friends for so many years, don't you understand me?"

The two smiled at each other, their smiles bright and sweet, truly the smiles of a pair of adulterous lovers.

At the ruins of the southern wall of the Great Berlin City-State, Xiao Jie was emitting a sharp roar. The Blood Spirit Sword had left his body, and a drop of Yin Xuege's heart blood was merging with Xiao Jie's heart. Currently, Yin Xuege had three thousand-year dukes' blood that had not yet been digested, and the blood energy contained in the drop of heart blood was astonishingly abundant.
