90: Chapter 90: Surrounded in Secret, the Floating City Directly Charges In.
Xu Qin couldn't be bothered to look at their chat content anymore.
Not fight? How is that possible!
Could he really let go of so many sources of troops?
If the total troop command limit for the five heroes wasn't only 16,000+, he would have just started the fight already.
Would he still be wasting all this time talking in the channel?
The critical issue right now is how to swallow them all up!
Xu Qin closed the channel and turned his head to the command panel.
"Tian Ming, how is the progress?"
"About 13,000 wood has been gathered, 6,000 stone, the first iron ore vein has been cleared, and the second is one-third of the way through."
"Speed it up. You organize the troop types; have the Bull-men, Chuan Yun, Jackal Hunter, and Blade Guard spread out all the forces."
"Yes!"
Tian Ming instantly understood Xu Qin's intention and reported again:
"Master, more than a dozen enemy teams are gathering in the direction of our harvesting, but they haven't launched an attack."
"I see it. This reaction is exactly what I wanted. As long as they don't run, it's fine."
Xu Qin waved his hand.
"Have the Bone Beast phalanx press forward to close the distance between both sides."
"If they dare to charge, start killing immediately!"
"Yes!"
The coalition of over a dozen clans gathered and stopped three hundred meters away.
When they saw the Bone Beast army pressing outward, they first retreated collectively, but they didn't disperse.
Without needing to think, one could guess it was likely Victor commanding from the rear.
Xu Qin occasionally switched to the vulture's perspective to observe the enemy's formation.
Over a dozen races with a motley assortment of troop types.
Although calling them a rabble might be impolite, the coordination of such a temporarily assembled coalition could be imagined.
He reopened the chat channel and found that these lords were no longer chatting.
But one could guess without thinking that they were discussing something in their own small channels.
"Forget it, no need to worry about them, let's get to the real business first."
He hurried to the Resurrection Platform and started crafting Bone Beasts.
Just as Xu Qin guessed, the alliance channel was already boiling.
Victor · Human: Everyone, don't panic. The other party has clearly stated they have no intention to attack; their goal is resources.
Victor · Human: Our current forces cannot interfere; forcing a conflict is just handing them a win.
Krenda · Dwarf Race: So we just watch?
Victor · Human: Yes, we can only watch for now and pray he leaves once he has gathered enough.
Sylvia · Elf Race: My wood area has already been pushed into halfway...
Chen Ge · Murloc Clan: Victor, will he really leave after finishing the resources?
No one answered this question.
Because everyone knew in their hearts, who would leave so many resources behind without gathering them?
But everyone was afraid to make the first move, so they could only remain in this stalemate.
Sure enough, Krenda's name popped up in the chat channel again.
Krenda · Dwarf Race: Victor, they have dug over to my side.
Victor · Human: Endure.
Krenda · Dwarf Race: But why do I feel like this Undead lord wants to fight me...
Victor · Human: State your reason.
Krenda · Dwarf Race: Because... he is currently gathering the resources at the entrance of my territory, but not the ones further away.
...
Inside the Floating City, Xu Qin, who was crafting Bone Beasts, heard the prompt from the command panel.
He saw Tian Ming's communication pop up.
"Master. All five teams have penetrated deep into the core area of the Oasis and can launch an attack at any time."
"Good."
Xu Qin continuously synthesized Bone Beasts while unfolding the command panel before his eyes.
On the panel, the positions of over 54,000 Troglodytes were densely marked, scattered throughout the entire Oasis.
There was no other way; these troops could only be mobilized by him.
So, his fingers began to slide across the command panel.
The order was issued.
On the periphery of over a dozen territories, the Elite Troglodytes who were gathering resources began to silently move to surround them from all sides.
At the same time, the shallow sand tens of centimeters underground was turned over.
Trap belts extended section by section along the edges of the territories.
The whole process was silent.
Above ground, the Bone Beast phalanx remained in place.
...
On the alliance channel side.
Victor was being bombarded by several messages in a row.
Krenda · Dwarf Race: Victor, the situation on my side is not right. A portion of those undead are circling to the back of my territory.
Sylvia · Elf Race: I also received a report; there are skeleton soldiers moving through the forest, I don't know where they are going.
Chen Ge · Murloc Clan: My scout just returned. A large number of undead are digging something underground on the west side of the river, and I can feel the vibration.
Victor did not reply immediately.
His scouting unit had also sent back a report just now.
The content was that three kilometers north of their own territory,
there was an Undead skeleton unit, numbering about three thousand, moving towards the gap in the territory.
He looked at this report, and his back felt cold.
In that chat record just now, when the other party answered "the more the better," he actually didn't say anything.
But they were all watching the show.
Then that batch of Undead harvesting teams swaggered in.
Everyone's eyes followed them, and no one cared about what was moving elsewhere.
After Victor saw the movement of the Undead Army clearly, he immediately opened the alliance channel.
Victor · Human: Everyone, prepare for defense on all lines, immediately! The other party was stalling just now, the main force is likely...
Before he finished speaking.
Rumble!!!
A muffled thunderous sound suddenly came from the sky.
The lords looked up in unison, only to see an orange light suddenly brighten.
Subsequently, the Floating City that had originally stopped at the edge of the Oasis suddenly accelerated.
Its soul energy tail flame trajectory turned into a dazzling orange-white band of light.
That city was rushing towards the center of the Oasis at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the alliance channel.
Flame Bird Lord · Flame Bird Clan: This city can still accelerate?
Tao Zhuo · Werewolf Clan: Are the undead this powerful?
Ye Shi · Thorn Clan: So fast!
...
Xu Qin sat on the edge of the Watchtower, watching the Oasis expand rapidly beneath his feet.
Twenty-three minutes of source energy acceleration remained.
He opened the command panel and quickly marked seven points on the map.
"Tian Ming."
"Present."
"Divide the army according to the marked points I gave you. Have Chuan Yun, Jackal Hunter, Bull-men, and Blade Guard each lead their own teams to attack the corresponding targets."
"Yes."
As soon as Tian Ming finished speaking, Xu Qin opened the turret control panel.
The muzzles of the six turrets had long been aimed at the largest territory in the center of the Oasis.
[Charged Shell · Ready x 6]
"Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Six charged shells smashed out one after another.
The orange trajectory cut through the night sky and accurately smashed into the front of Victor's territory wall.
Bang bang bang...
At the six explosion points, dust rose, and a blinding orange light lit up.
The third and fifth shots hit the Lord's Hall.
Half of the main building of the Lord's Hall collapsed directly.
When the dust settled.
The front wall of Victor's territory had four breaches blown into it.
The shouting of soldiers over there was already in chaos.
Xu Qin opened the command panel, selected Shadow and the sixty-six super soldiers, and spoke calmly.
"Shadow, target the human lord, Victor."
"Others, scatter and cooperate with the main force to annihilate the enemy."
"Everyone! Kill!"
