A strange rumbling sound echoed from the distance behind them. At that moment, someone in the last armored vehicle shouted, "It's the Sanctuary's army! The Sanctuary's army is chasing us from behind!"

"Are they here?" Captain Guan was startled and quickly leaned out of the window to look back. Indeed, he saw four black police patrol cars emerging from the road behind, rapidly pursuing the convoy.

"Change formation and initiate an attack!" Captain Guan decisively commanded. The three armored vehicles, which were originally in a single file, quickly reformed into a line. The gunners on the armored vehicles leaned out of the hatches and began to fire their machine guns wildly at the four police cars chasing them from behind.

With a series of "rat-a-tat-tat" sounds, one police car was hit and started to smoke. With a loud "boom," it exploded and burst into flames. These police patrol cars were not equipped with long-range offensive weapons and could not deal with the rebel armored vehicles. They slowed down and gradually distanced themselves from the rebel convoy.

"Hahaha, these guys have nothing to fear," A Bing, who was next to Captain Guan, laughed heartily. He had just destroyed a police car with the machine gun and was feeling quite proud.

"Attention, rebels ahead! Surrender immediately or face annihilation!" Suddenly, a voice that sounded like it was coming from a loudspeaker echoed from behind the rebel convoy. The three police cars moved to the side of the road, and three purple metallic humanoid figures appeared in the distance, rapidly closing in on the rebel convoy.

"This is bad! It's the humanoid armored soldiers from the Sanctuary!" Captain Guan's face changed, and the expressions of the others clearly showed panic.

The humanoid figures were over two meters tall. Although they had a human shape, their bodies were entirely covered in purple metal, resembling humans clad in heavy, fully enclosed metal armor. Beneath these armored figures were special devices that looked like wheels, spinning at high speed, providing propulsion and allowing the humanoid armored soldiers to move quickly along the city streets, closely pursuing the rebel vehicles.

"Attack! Focus all firepower on those armored soldiers!" Captain Guan quickly ordered.

The rebels seemed to be very afraid of these humanoid armored soldiers; almost everyone drew their weapons, aiming guns out of the windows and throwing grenades at the three purple humanoid armored soldiers.

"Clang! Clang!" The crisp sounds rang out as bullets hit the armored soldiers, causing sparks to fly. Several grenades exploded violently around the armored soldiers, but their tough exterior was impervious to the bullets. After a round of machine-gun fire and grenade blasts, the three humanoid armored soldiers remained unscathed, still closely following the rebel convoy.

"Damn it! These things are too tough to break!" A Bing said in frustration, completely losing his earlier pride.

Captain Guan furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, "This won't do. The shells of these armored soldiers are made from super alloys; bullets simply can't penetrate. Moreover, the pilots of the armored soldiers are Refining body Ultra-capables. They are incredibly strong and can enhance their bodies, making their bones as hard as iron, able to withstand tremendous impacts and vibrations. Even just three of them are extremely difficult to deal with."

"I refuse to believe we can't take them down," A Bing said fiercely, pulling out a rocket launcher, hoisting it onto his shoulder, and aiming at the three humanoid armored soldiers. He fired the rocket, and with a "boom," it exploded on the ground less than ten meters from the armored soldiers, sending them flying several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Ha! What armored soldiers? I knocked them down!" A Bing's face broke into a proud smile again, but it lasted less than a few seconds before it vanished. The three armored soldiers, having fallen, quickly got back up and resumed their pursuit along the city streets.

"Captain, what do we do now?" A Bing could no longer smile; he pulled back into the vehicle and nervously asked Captain Guan.

Captain Guan pondered and said, "The humanoid armored soldiers are the most advanced and powerful strategic weapons of the Sanctuary. They can take on a hundred opponents and rarely face defeat. We might not be able to handle them. Their speed doesn’t seem very fast; if it comes down to speed, we should be a bit faster..."

As he spoke, Captain Guan took out a communicator and shouted, "Everyone, cease fire and move at full speed to shake them off!"

Following Captain Guan's command, the three armored vehicles reformed into a line, with Captain Guan's vehicle in the middle. They all revved their engines and sped forward.

Suddenly, there was a series of "bang! bang!" sounds as six grappling hooks shot out from the chests of the three humanoid armored soldiers, four of which latched onto the rear armored vehicle, securing tightly.

The grappling hooks automatically retracted, pulling the armored vehicle backward. The two armored soldiers significantly increased their speed, darting towards the vehicle that had been hooked, while the hooked armored vehicle's speed drastically decreased, its wheels spinning as if stuck in a quagmire.

"This is bad! They're in danger!" Captain Guan realized the situation was dire and quickly ordered an attack on the two armored soldiers. A barrage of bullets rained down on them, but just like before, the bullets were deflected and failed to penetrate the armored soldiers' exterior.

Using the force of the retracting steel cables, the two armored soldiers quickly caught up to the last vehicle. One of them grabbed the armored vehicle's body with one hand, while raising the other arm high.

A flash of white light appeared as two long, flat silver short swords emerged from the ends of the armored soldiers' arms. Each sword was about half a meter long, with no physical substance, completely composed of blue and white light.

With a swish, the two armored soldiers swung their silver short swords, stabbing them into the armored vehicle's body. The armored vehicle's shell seemed to be made of wood, easily pierced by the silver short swords. The swords slid quickly over the vehicle's body, creating dazzling sparks, and the armored vehicle was sliced open as if it were tofu. The roof was ripped off, leaving all the occupants exposed to the outside.
