37: Chapter 37 Using Anti-Aircraft Guns to Kill Mosquitoes
Lin Tian held his breath and focused, a faint light flashing in his eyes as the Inspect skill was activated silently. A stream of information flooded his mind:
[Ordinary Goblin]: Quality - Low-level Elite, Strength - 5-9 Star black iron (mostly).
[Goblin Warrior]: Quality - High-level Elite, Strength - 1-2 Star Bronze (about 40-50).
[Goblin Leader · Gluck]: Quality - Low-level Rare, Strength - 3 Star Bronze.
"It's almost the same as what Lin Yin inspected. The highest is 3 Star Bronze, Rare quality, with forty or fifty Bronze-level leaders. The rest are not worth worrying about." Lin Tian felt reassured, and the last trace of caution turned into sharp fighting spirit.
No hidden experts or special defensive fortifications were found. This tribe was like a ripe but filthy fruit, just waiting to be picked.
"Prepare to attack." Lin Tian's voice was low and clear. "Lin Feng, assemble the troops and prepare to cast 'Command of a Thousand Armies'. Lin Yin, do you see that big green-skinned dwarf that just came out of the tent? Keep your eyes on it, and use your 'Full Moon Judgment' to send it on its way."
He did not choose to let the army rush in and engage in a chaotic melee. While that would certainly lead to victory, it wouldn't allow him to intuitively test how strong the new power was, and it would inevitably lead to unnecessary casualties. What he wanted was a shocking opening, a declaration of power.
"Yes, Lord!" Lin Feng responded in a deep voice, his golden-red fighting spirit beginning to rise in his eyes.
"Understood, Lord, just watch!" Lin Yin turned her head and smiled at Lin Tian. That smile was like a frozen moon pond suddenly rippling, with a rare touch of playfulness and confidence amidst the coldness, standing out remarkably in the grim atmosphere before the battle.
Lin Tian was slightly stunned and muttered to himself, "This girl is really... getting more and more alluring after evolving." He quickly collected his thoughts and focused on the battlefield.
Below in the valley, the Goblin leader Gluck was waving a wooden club embedded with rusty iron pieces, cursing a fallen slave while spitting everywhere, completely unaware that death had arrived.
On the cliff, Lin Yin slowly took a deep breath, and her aura instantly became ethereal and misty. She stretched out her arms and raised the moonlight longbow in her hand toward the sky. Although it was afternoon, her power seemed to be able to draw upon the invisible moonlight.
Wisps of cold, water-like, visible silver halos gathered from all directions, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, pouring into the bow body and her fingertips resting on the string.
Hum!
A strange vibrating sound spread out from her as the center. It wasn't a loud noise, but it carried a penetrating power that reached straight to the soul. The light in her hands grew increasingly intense, gradually condensing into a giant light arrow made entirely of brilliant moonlight. It was longer than her height, with light flowing over it, and the space at the arrow tip slightly twisted, emitting a heart-palpitating destructive fluctuation.
This process looked slow, but in reality, it only took a short ten seconds.
"What is that?!"
"Enemy attack! Above! On the cliff!"
"Light! Such strong energy!"
The Goblins in the valley finally discovered the anomaly. The undeniable energy fluctuations and dazzling silver light threw them into a panic. Gluck looked up, his yellow eyes reflecting that "little moon," and his fury was instantly replaced by horror.
"Quick! Line up! Prepare to defend!" He shrieked, trying to organize his chaotic subordinates. But the Goblins' innate chaos and cowardice were exposed at this moment. Most Goblins were running around like headless flies, and only a few warriors were hastily trying to assemble, forming a sparse, loophole-ridden defensive line.
"Too late." Lin Yin's red lips parted slightly, spitting out the cold words. She locked onto the terrified green figure below and released the bowstring.
Swoosh!!!
There was no deafening explosion, only a piercing shriek through the air, as if space were being torn apart.
The giant moonlight arrow turned into a silver rainbow spanning the sky, ignoring distance, and arrived in an instant! Wherever the arrow passed, the air left behind long-lasting milky white ripple trails.
Gluck only had time to hold his wooden club horizontally in front of his chest, letting out a desperate roar.
Boom!!!!
It was as if a real moon had crashed onto the ground! The silver light completely swallowed Gluck and everything within ten meters of him.
There were no screams, no remains, only extreme light and heat, and a dull, deafening sound that made the earth tremble.
When the light dissipated, only a charred circular pit with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of several meters remained in place. The soil and sand at the edges presented a glazed, crystalline texture.
The Goblin leader Gluck, along with many of his personal guards, was completely vaporized, not even leaving a trace of ash behind. The shockwave of the explosion overturned nearly a hundred Goblins further away, scattering severed limbs and visceral fragments everywhere.
Silence.
The entire valley fell into a deathly silence. All the Goblins, whether warriors or slaves, stared blankly at the terrifying, smoking deep pit in the center, and the silver light particles slowly dissipating above the pit. Their leader, the strongest existence in the tribe, was just... gone?
Fear, like the most deadly plague, instantly crushed the Goblins' already fragile morale.
Just at the moment when this deathly silence and panic reached its peak.
"Everyone's will, gather in me!" Lin Feng's roar sounded like a thunderclap, breaking the silence.
He stood at the front of the Spearman formation, his crimson gold coiling dragon spear pointing straight at the sky. Behind him, four hundred Heavy Armored Spearmen roared in unison, their voices like a tide! Visible crimson energy and fighting spirit turned into hundreds of thin streams, madly surging toward Lin Feng.
"Command of a Thousand Armies, War Soul Manifestation!"
Boom!
Lin Feng's body erupted with golden-red light as blazing as the sun, and a phantom giant shadow ten meters tall suddenly appeared above his head! The giant shadow's outline was blurry, but it was vaguely visible wearing flaming battle armor, holding a giant flame spear, with a majestic face like a god; it was exactly an enlarged version of the Crimson Sun Divine General!
The moment the War Soul condensed, a terrifying high-temperature air wave pushed outward, and the vegetation instantly withered and scorched!
"Slash!"
Lin Feng's body and the phantom War Soul above his head moved in synchronization. The spear in his hand and the War Soul's giant flame spear merged into one, and he swung it toward the densest area of Goblin warriors below, who had just barely gathered and were still in the panic of their leader's sudden death!
A golden-red, crescent-shaped Spear Glow, dozens of meters long and condensed into substance, tore through the air, bringing with it the scorching heat to burn everything and an invincible sharpness, plowing across the land!
Ssh!!!
There was no intense collision sound, only the slight hissing sound of high temperature cutting through objects. Wherever the Spear Glow passed, whether it was the Goblin warriors trying to raise shields to block, the ordinary Goblins fleeing in panic, or the simple wooden fences, tents, and debris... everything was severed, cut open, and then ignited the moment it made contact!
The ground was left with a deep, charred, smoking trench, with two rows of instantly carbonized or severed corpses on either side of the trench, as well as blazing wreckage.
With just this one strike, over two hundred Goblins, including nearly twenty Bronze-level warriors, were instantly vaporized or killed! The already chaotic defensive line completely collapsed.
The Spear Glow dissipated, and the towering Crimson Sun Divine General War Soul phantom also slowly faded and disappeared. Lin Feng gasped slightly, but his eyes remained as sharp as an eagle's. "Maintaining this state, I can support full power for about three minutes. But even just this level of attack power is enough." He evaluated in his mind.
And in the distance, Lin Yin, after releasing that heaven-shaking arrow, was also gasping slightly, with sweat on her forehead, clearly having consumed a lot. "Full Moon Judgment... with my current strength, at full power, I can fire at most three arrows." She quickly judged her own limits.
Lin Tian, on the cliff, took in everything. After the initial shock, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he slapped his forehead: "Am I... using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot mosquitoes? That was unnecessary!"
