Facing the question, he didn’t answer directly. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Starlight Bridge.

“Do you know the history of Starlight Bridge?”

“I’m aware of that. This used to be the bridge connecting Shattered Light City and Starlight City. Back then, there were no city walls or defense lines. During the construction of this bridge, it was invaded by domain factions. Without the sacrifices of the martyrs, this bridge wouldn’t have been completed. The two cities wouldn’t have been able to connect and form the current central region of Star City.”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Feng Qi’s face.

“You’re right. If it weren’t for the martyrs fighting a bloody battle, we wouldn’t have a stable life in Star City.”

“Each era presents new challenges. Our predecessors established Star City amidst these challenges and erected a defense line for us. It’s akin to a legacy. We, too, must confront the new challenges of this era. Only then can our human civilization endure.”

“My predecessors took care of me, and I’ll take care of my successors!”

Looking at Feng Qi who said this with a smile, Mu Qing’s eyes flickered.

Once again, she sensed that determination emanating from Feng Qi, and she felt as if a warm breeze was brushing against her face.

“Ah Qi, I will always stand by your side.”

“Let’s eat.” Feng Qi smiled and nodded. Then, he grabbed a handful of skewers and started eating.

Looking at the sticks piled up on the table, Mu Qing hesitated and said.

“Will you go broke treating me?”

“No, I have money!”

“In that case… Boss, give me another 500 skewers!”

The night was hazy.

It was almost midnight.

After supper, Feng Qi and Mu Qing arrived at the Star City Military headquarters.

Compared to the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute, the Star City Military Base did not set up a towering wall. They only used barbed wire to form a barrier.

Through the barbed wire, one could see a large number of weapons and equipment placed in the base square.

The headquarters of the military was located in the central area of Star City. It was established along the north side of Starlight Lake and was established earlier than the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute.

When it was first established, the Star City Military didn’t have this name.

At that time, every district in Star City was a city, and there was no plan to merge them into Star City.

Faced with the powerful invasion of the domain creatures, the major cities had a hard time dealing with them.

Amid the immense crisis, the major cities united and formed the precursor to the Star City Military, known as the South Region Joint Operations Department.

During the initial phases of the calamity, when confronted with invasions by domain factions, every battle inflicted substantial casualties on the soldiers of the South Region Joint Operations Department.

To replenish its strength, the South Region Joint Operations Department expanded.

They incorporated law enforcement personnel.

The Star City Military was destined to emerge as the foremost organization in the new Star City. It would wield the authority to uphold the law and engage in conflicts beyond its borders.

There were also seven departments under the military.

They were the External Warfare Department, the City Law Enforcement Department, the Command Department, the Logistics Department, the Training Department, the Communications Department, and the Intelligence Department.

Each department was under the overall management of the command post.

To deal with the possible crisis in Star City, the military had set up bases in every district and was equipped with advanced weapons and equipment.

As for the Star City Military’s source of soldiers, they came from various universities.

Among them, the top universities were in charge of nurturing high-level talents from the military departments of the various cities.

For example, Victory Academy was the main source of military personnel at the front line and in the various large cities.

Furthermore, the military boasted a comprehensive promotion system to ensure that talents wouldn’t be overlooked or neglected.

After walking along the barbed wire for a while, Feng Qi and Mu Qing arrived at the entrance of the Star City Military.

There were eight sentry posts set up on both sides. Every sentry post was guarded by armed soldiers.

When they arrived at the entrance, a soldier immediately reminded them.

“This is a military zone. Unauthorized entry is prohibited. Do you require any assistance?”

“The director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute has contacted your Chief Commander. We have something important to attend to.”

Hearing this, the soldier did not hesitate. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie on his chest and began to ask about the situation.

A moment later, the soldier put down the walkie-talkie and waved behind him.

Immediately, the lift pillar blocking the entrance fell, and the railing of the second checkpoint was raised.

The soldier on duty walked down from the sentry post and looked at Feng Qi.

“Let me take you in.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll go get the car.” With that, the soldier on duty jogged to the military car parked at the back.

A moment later, Feng Qi and Mu Qing got into the car and drove into the headquarters.

This was Feng Qi’s first time in the Star City Military. He was curious about the facilities inside.

The facilities at the headquarters were highly comprehensive. Each building had a corresponding function name displayed outside.

In addition, there were open-air functional venues such as battlefields and open-air weapons depots that were specially used for training.

Half an hour later, the military vehicle stopped in front of a towering building that looked like a fist.

After getting out of the car, they passed the verification and entered the building under the lead of the soldiers on duty.

They took the elevator to the sixth floor and arrived at the main command room.

“The Chief Commander is aware that you’re here. You may enter directly.”

“Thank you.”

The soldier on duty immediately nodded and turned to leave.

Feng Qi took a step forward and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

He pushed open the door and saw a large desk. The desk was filled with various documents, and there was a small military flag of Star City Military on the left side of the monitor..
