116: Magic Mecha Demonstrates Power

The Emperor's command was swiftly executed like thunder.

Inside Sunset City, the goblin civilians were evacuated overnight under the organization of soldiers, and the entire city quickly became empty.

Subsequently, goblin engineers, carrying mysterious metal boxes, sneaked into the city and buried super bombs at key locations, preparing to blow the enemies and the city itself sky-high.

At the same time, the Empire urgently mobilized hundreds of thousands of elite troops from various cities and set up an ambush in a canyon fifty kilometers away from Sunset City.

After the bombs were detonated, they would then sally forth to annihilate the remaining enemies.

Finally, if the situation became unmanageable, they would rely on the Imperial Capital's top-tier defense system to engage the enemies in a decisive battle.

Speaking of goblin bomb technology, it was renowned far and wide.

In earlier years, due to the research of unstable bombs, the goblins paid a heavy price, with frequent laboratory explosion accidents.

However, in the war with the dinosaur people, these dangerous weapons made significant contributions.

After decades of improvement, goblin bomb technology gradually matured, and now they could even produce super bombs of astonishing power.

Among them, what the goblins were most proud of was the super bomb—the “Final Singularity.”

The power of this bomb was beyond imagination; theoretically, if the yield was sufficient, it could even raze the entire Goblin World to the ground.

Therefore, after the test detonation was completed, the “Final Singularity” was ordered by the Emperor to be sealed and became the nation's top secret.

He originally thought there would be no chance to use this terrifying weapon, but unexpectedly, it came into use during his lifetime.

However, he had extreme confidence in the power of the Final Singularity; as long as it was a living organism, it could not escape the fate of annihilation.

Apollo naturally did not know that such a terrifying weapon was awaiting him; at this moment, he had just sacrificed all valuable things in Nair City to the Abyss, preparing to continue his march.

Although this battle incurred no casualties, Apollo still felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

These goblins were too clever, and their methods were endless.

If given more time to study the characteristics of the Demons, they might even find more effective ways to deal with the Demon Army.

Therefore, no time could be wasted; pulling this world into the Abyss as quickly as possible was the real priority.

The Demon Army, urged by Apollo, marched day and night, while the Little Devil acted as the vanguard, clearing all obstacles in the path of the army in advance.

They appeared and disappeared unpredictably, often dragging enemies into eternal Darkness before they could even react.

Soon, the vast Demon Army arrived near Sunset City.

The Little Devils had scouted ahead and discovered that the city was already deserted.

Upon learning this, Apollo intended to pass directly through the city, but the moment he stepped into the city gate, a chill suddenly surged into his heart.

Alarm bells rang loudly in his mind; it seemed there was something terrifying inside.

He decisively ordered a detour, avoiding Sunset City.

He was naturally not acting without reason; he had gained a new talent, “Danger Perception,” when he was promoted to Dread Demon General.

When encountering danger, his sixth sense would warn him, and the greater the crisis, the stronger the feeling.

Although he did not know what was hidden in the city, for caution's sake, taking a detour was always better than taking a risk.

Meanwhile, in the command center dozens of kilometers away, the goblin engineers were nervously staring at the observation screen.

Seeing the Demon Army about to enter the city, they couldn't help but reveal a smile of successful conspiracy, but this joy was fleeting.

These Demons suddenly changed their marching route!

The engineers panicked and quickly asked the army Commander whether to detonate the bombs now.

The Commander looked at the Demons gradually moving away from Sunset City and shook his head helplessly.

Detonating now would not only harm few enemies but also ruin a city for nothing, which was truly not worth it.

The news reached The Palace, and the Emperor was furious.

Where did things go wrong? Did someone leak information?

But at this point, pursuing the cause was futile.

The Commander asked if they should fight a decisive battle with the enemies on Sunset Plain as originally planned; after a moment of contemplation, the Emperor finally issued the combat order.

Although victory or defeat was unpredictable, as long as the enemy army could be severely damaged, the danger to the Imperial Capital would be reduced by one point, and the chances of successful defense would increase by one point.

The Commander naturally understood this principle; after accepting the order, he immediately arranged the formation and prepared for the decisive battle.

Soon, millions of Demons surged like a tide towards Sunset Plain.

The Little Devils had already reported the enemy's situation to Apollo early on, which filled his heart with anticipation.

He had not yet fought a real battle in this world, and he hoped they would not disappoint him.

On the goblin side, hundreds of thousands of troops were already ready.

In the trenches, goblin soldiers in magic-energy battle armor held rapid-fire guns, their eyes filled with tension and determination.

On the battlefield, hundreds of magic-energy mechs shuttled back and forth, their massive metal bodies gleaming with a cold luster under the sun.

In the distance, tens of thousands of Magic Energy Tanks were poised, ready to bombard the enemies at any moment.

In the sky, thousands of goblin airships slowly approached, their holds piled with deadly bombs.

Seeing this, Apollo knew that the goblins were serious this time.

He did not hesitate; with a wave of his hand, the Demon Army immediately let out an earth-shattering roar and charged towards the goblin defense line.

The goblin Commander, seated in the “Guardian” command ship, calmly issued orders:

“Mech units advance to engage, long-range firepower prepare!”

Magic-energy mechs possessed powerful armor and extremely high mobility, which could buy time against the Demon Army.

Hundreds of mechs received the order and immediately charged towards the Demon Army.

During their flight, their respective firepower rained down on the densely packed enemy formations.

A torrent of bullets tore through the bodies of many Demons, and rows of Demons fell on their way to the charge.

But these Demons felt no fear and still charged forward without fear of death.

Soon, some close-combat mechs engaged the Demons in hand-to-hand combat.

The Slicer, one of the few beast-type magic-energy mechs, charged into the demon horde against these frail Demons, as if entering an uninhabited land.

Its body was surrounded by energy threads that possessed high-frequency vibration and high-speed cutting capabilities; wherever the energy threads passed, Demons were cut into pieces.

The Thunder Roar's killing effect was even more efficient; its body was a large high-voltage electric tower, continuously emitting high-voltage current in all directions.

Demons struck by the current had their bodily functions directly destroyed by the high voltage, and these currents continued to transmit, causing swathes of Demons to fall within the current.

The Destroyer Tyrant was covered in various weapons from head to toe; it charged into the demon horde with full firepower, its 360-degree attack leaving the Demons nowhere to escape.

And the Ghost was an out-and-out assassin; its hands tightly gripped two energy short blades, continuously slashing at Demons one by one, with relatively low killing efficiency but extreme agility.

Relying on its super high mobility, it shuttled through the demon horde, and if it encountered an encirclement, it immediately activated its stealth effect, biding its time to escape the spot.

Watching the magic-energy mechs display their might, Apollo looked at these iron creations with new respect.

Their bodies were clearly inferior to Worms, but piloting these iron shells could possess lethality comparable to a fourth-tier powerhouse.

But after all, it was only comparable in lethality; in other aspects, well...

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Apollo's eyes.
