138: Chapter 138 The Floating City Takes Over!

Xu Qin withdrew his gaze from the Bloodhoof Lord.

"Tian Ming."

"Here."

"Clean this up."

"Yes!"

The Bloodhoof Lord's statement just now was very correct.

The strong should indeed kill the weak.

Being weak is a crime.

Hearing these words.

The smile on the Bloodhoof Lord's face froze instantly.

He finally realized what "clean up" meant at this moment.

"Wait!!"

Tian Ming raised his right hand.

A Wither Curse descended.

Then, thousands of output Bone Beasts jumped down from the platform.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment they landed, they smashed out huge craters.

Earth-shaking roars resounded across the wilderness.

In less than five minutes, the entire area fell silent.

Over ten thousand Troglodytes, pushing Bone Transport Carts, drove out from the Combat Readiness Platform and began transporting supplies.

Xu Qin turned and returned to the city.

The Floating City restarted and flew toward the target direction.

...

Inside the Lords Hall.

Xu Qin opened the tactical panel and began assigning troops.

"Tian Ming."

"Here."

"You take the Savage Bull, Chuan Yun, Tietang, and the others to surround the ruins."

"Take five thousand tank and melee Bone Beasts, bring all the Liches, and leave two-thirds of the Ranged Troops for yourself. Add another two thousand Elite Troglodytes to seal the tunnels."

"You have only one task: surround it."

"No need to fight your way in. Block all entrances and exits, seal both the surface and underground."

"Wait until I confirm the kill on my end before you close the net."

Tian Ming nodded.

"Understood. What if the enemy lord is inside the ruins and wants to escape?"

"Then you fight."

Xu Qin said,

"If they dare to show their head, hammer them to death."

"Yes, Master."

Xu Qin switched back to the map and looked at the location of Grande's main city.

It was eight hundred kilometers from the Floating City's current position.

At normal speed, it would take thirteen hours.

"I can't fly straight there, to avoid alerting the enemy."

Xu Qin looked at the map and pondered.

The Floating City was too large.

If the opponent had detection units like a Watchtower, they would be able to spot it from a hundred kilometers away.

Once Grande received an early warning and escaped through the teleportation array, it would be a wasted effort.

"I need to launch a sneak attack."

Xu Qin's plan quickly took shape.

First, park the Floating City two hundred kilometers away from the target main city.

Send the Sand Rats to tunnel underground to confirm the precise location of the main city and the direction of the teleportation array.

Then have the Elite Troglodytes follow up to dig a passage directly beneath the teleportation array.

Finally, let the Shadow infiltrate through the tunnel and lie in wait beside the teleportation array.

Once the troops were in position, the Floating City would activate its source energy acceleration, and the Dragon Bone would ride straight into their faces.

The Shadow inside would act simultaneously to destroy the teleportation array.

"Although it's boring, as long as it works, it's fine."

Xu Qin looked at the Winter Sovereign standing in the corner.

The ice-blue soul fire flickered calmly.

The ice coffin floated by its side, surrounded by lingering cold air.

"After this ruin is taken," Xu Qin said, "it will be under your management."

The Winter Sovereign lowered its skull.

"...Yes."

Xu Qin nodded and closed the panel.

A thirteen-hour journey.

I'll take a nap first.

...

Twelve hours later.

Beep!

The reconnaissance report from the Skeleton Sand Rat Scout Team 1 arrived.

Xu Qin hurriedly opened it to check.

"Oh? The lord isn't in the ruins?"

"Great!"

This way, it would save Tian Ming a lot of trouble.

Xu Qin opened the communication panel and issued an order to Tian Ming.

"Tian Ming, start surrounding the ruins, wait for my signal."

"Understood, deployment complete."

Xu Qin switched back to the Floating City control interface.

Current distance to target: 198 kilometers.

"Shadow."

In the corner of the Lords Hall, two clusters of dark purple soul fire lit up for a moment.

"The location of the teleportation array has been marked by the Sand Rats."

"Go through the tunnel, wait for my signal, and destroy it immediately."

The Shadow's figure emerged from the shadows and disappeared again in the next second.

...

On the other side, Grande's main city, Black Rock Fortress.

At each of the four corners of the twelve-meter-high city wall, a Watchtower was built.

Inside the fortress,

Grande was checking the resources obtained today.

Suddenly!

He let out an unhappy cold snort.

"The iron ore production is still not enough..."

He opened the alliance channel:

Grande·Rock Demon Tribe: @Omanding, transport fifty thousand iron ore to me.

Omanding·Iron-skinned Goblin: Alliance Leader, I am very sorry, I only have eight thousand iron ore right now.

Grande·Rock Demon Tribe: Do you want to die?

Omanding·Iron-skinned Goblin: No, it's not that, I have no more iron ore resources on my side.

Omanding·Iron-skinned Goblin: Please forgive me.

Grande·Rock Demon Tribe: By tomorrow noon, gather fifty thousand iron ore, otherwise... die!

Omanding·Iron-skinned Goblin: Yes.

Grande closed the chat channel.

Just at this moment.

Beep!

The Watchtower alarm sounded.

Grande's footsteps paused.

"What's going on?"

He hadn't had time to check yet.

The sky turned completely dark.

Grande looked up.

He saw a bone-structured Floating City rushing from the western horizon at an exaggerated speed.

Grande was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what was happening.

"All troops, assemble!!"

Before the words had faded,

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Six dark purple beams of light shot out from the bottom of the Floating City.

Source energy cannons charged, fire volley!

- 12000!

- 12000!

- 12000!

...

Crack!

The west wall of the Black Rock Fortress was directly blasted with six large holes.

Rubble splattered, and smoke and dust soared into the sky.

The entire fortress trembled slightly in the vibration.

Grande's body also swayed along with it, nearly falling over.

"So strong!"

His first reaction was not to engage the enemy.

But to run.

Grande turned and sprinted toward the teleportation array building in the center of the city.

As a lord of the Rock Demon Tribe, his racial advantage was calmness.

Therefore, after suffering a round of attacks, he instantly realized the gap between the two sides.

Fighting head-on would be suicide.

The only way to survive was to activate the teleportation array and return to the ruins, relying on the relic buffs of the ruins and the five-thousand-strong garrison to defend.

But just as he rushed out of the fortress, he froze in place.

He saw that the space crystal of the teleportation array had shattered all over the ground at some unknown time.

On the ground, there was a cracked fissure.

At the edge of the fissure, shadow energy remained.

Why?

When?

How is this possible!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Grande's mind.

This Undead Race lord understood him very well!

Boom, boom, boom!

The second round of cannon fire came from outside the city.

Crackle!

More sections of the city wall were blasted to pieces.

The fortress began to collapse.

Grande recovered from his shock and turned to rush out of the building.

Since the teleportation array was destroyed, he could only try to break out by force.

"Guard Battalion! Heroes! All assemble at the East Gate!"

His voice was transmitted to the entire army through the command panel.

"Target location, east side!"

In just ten seconds.

Twelve hundred Stone Spirit elite heavy armored soldiers assembled.

Four heroes followed behind Grande.

Grande hid in the middle of the team and rushed toward the East Gate.

As long as he broke out and ran into the wilderness, he would have a chance to turn the tables.

"I must make the traitor die!"

Grande thought while running.

Bang!

The East Gate opened.

Grande felt a surge of joy and was the first to rush out.

Then, he stopped again.

Ahead, three hundred meters away.

A bone-structured figure over sixty meters tall was standing on the wasteland.
