63: Destroy Jiulongshan

Just as he was panicking, he turned back and saw a team of Royal Knights, glowing with Holy Light, charging out from the camp. He immediately felt relieved, thinking that he still had demigod-level troops, the Royal Knights, and didn't need to fear them!

"Kill them all for me!" Wu Qiming shouted loudly.

The Royal Knights were indeed fierce, knocking away all the mechanical Wolves and Flame Throwers blocking their path. Even the Minotaur couldn't stop their charge.

They caught Tongtian City completely off guard.

Hua Mulan urgently mobilized a large number of mechanical Wolves and Floating Turret to intercept, but after that team of cavalry charged out, they passed through the formation and didn't linger in battle, fleeing in a flash.

They fled!

This was hilarious.

The Royal Knights had Holy Light protection, extremely high defense, and their three-zhang spears, combined with the power of their charge, were incredibly strong. Without special defenses, they really couldn't be stopped.

The cavalry captain's face turned dark. He wasn't stupid; seeing the battlefield, he knew Nine Dragon Mountain was finished. These puppets were terrifying, and why were there suddenly so many?

Especially the cannons in the rear, which made the entire mountain peak hum.

In large-scale warfare, artillery is king!

Hua Mulan had utilized the artillery to its fullest extent.

If they were even a little slower, even the Royal Knights would have been wiped out, so why not flee quickly!

Wu Qiming almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. These damn Royal Knights were too unreliable, weren't they?

Just as he was about to gather all his troops for a final resistance.

He suddenly felt his soles begin to itch. He looked down and saw a black fire rising from the bottom of his feet. His heart turned cold. He turned to look at the Crystal and found that his family's Crystal had been burned to pieces by a pile of fire-breathing monsters.

Before he died, he despairingly saw a young man riding a white horse enter his camp.

The scene was originally very chaotic. Although the enemy had been routed, the pursuit had not stopped, but Han Huohuo saw Wu Qiming at a glance.

Han Huohuo also saw the Black Fire.

The black fire burned Wu Qiming into ashes from the inside out.

In Wu Qiming's dying eyes, a trace of realization suddenly appeared. He looked at Han Huohuo, his eyes full of pity.

We are, in fact, all slaves of the Black Fire. You are no exception.

Wu Qiming thought to himself, looking at Han Huohuo, not knowing if Han Huohuo understood.

The battle was won, but Han Huohuo was in a very bad mood, without any joy. Looking at Wu Qiming, who had been burned to ashes by the Black Fire, a feeling of sadness for a fallen comrade suddenly welled up.

What exactly is this black fire?

Is this the final destination for all Lords?

Han Huohuo couldn't figure it out.

【Tongtian City has successfully annihilated Nine Dragon Mountain. Nine Dragon Mountain has been destroyed, obtaining 530,000 wood, 350,000 stone, 500,000 food, 60,000 iron ingots, 110,000 gold coins, a total of 13 various rare ores, three blueprints, and other miscellaneous supplies!】

Massive resources!

Nine Dragon Mountain had actually stockpiled so many materials, many of which were plundered from other mountain strongholds and hadn't been used yet. Unexpectedly, they ended up benefiting Han Huohuo.

No matter how good you are at gathering, it's not as fast as robbing.

This is the core logic of imperialism. Han Huohuo came from the modern world, and he understood this principle too well.

Han Huohuo suddenly remembered the first Lord he eliminated. That guy's philosophy was actually correct. When you're a bandits, you should seriously rob. As a farmer, you'll never be as good as a bandits.

Only with his mechanical Workers could he support enough resource development.

Receiving so many resources, the happiest person was definitely Mu Jiu, which would greatly accelerate the construction of Tongtian City.

Other supplies were mainly weapons, leather, materials, and other items.

Plundering this place clean, just moving things would take several days. Fortunately, Liu Qiang had already organized a considerable caravan and quickly followed, first moving the most valuable items back home.

Han Huohuo and Hua Mulan naturally wouldn't bother with these minor matters; the people below would handle everything.

They gathered their troops and headed back home.

The battle went smoothly.

Some damaged mechs were also taken back for recycling, mainly because they felt bad about the black oil. The Flame Throwers charged at the front line and suffered the most losses. All damaged Flame Throwers, without exception, were moved back.

The Flame Thrower's attack power is not as high as the Minotaur's, and its defense is also slightly worse. If they fought one-on-one, they really wouldn't be a match for the Minotaur. Even two or three fighting one wouldn't beat a Minotaur. However, this thing burns a large area, and once they cluster, they are very terrifying, especially against Griffons, they are really too useful.

Griffons have high defense against arrows, but in front of Flame Throwers, their defense is almost zero.

The main force returned in triumph.

Mu Jiu had already received the news and was so excited her ears were red. As soon as Han Huohuo entered the city, she rushed over and threw herself into his arms.

Too amazing.

Huo Zheng kept sending messages to Han Huohuo.

Han Huohuo, holding Mu Jiu in the dark of night where others couldn't see, was busily touching her. Mu Jiu's face was flushed red, and she pouted, resisting futilely. Han Huohuo was very busy and had no time to pay attention to Huo Zheng, casually replying: "It's too late. If you have something, talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, Da Ge, you rest first!" Huo Zheng didn't dare to argue at all.

The only pity was that the group of mechanical Soldiers were very silent, without a trace of joy or excitement. If they were human soldiers, who knows how excited they would have been.

However, even the arrogant Sardin, when looking at Han Huohuo again, slightly lowered his proud head.

Everyone should rest well today.

Only Han Huohuo was highly enthusiastic, ready to return to his room for another three hundred rounds.

The next morning, Han Huohuo was exhausted like a puddle of mud. Mu Jiu got up, radiant, and was preparing breakfast.

The little girl was improving quickly. Before, she never knew how to make anything, but now she could finally make breakfast that wouldn't poison people.

After eating breakfast.

Han Huohuo sent a message to Huo Zheng: "I'm awake. What did you want to talk about yesterday?"

Huo Zheng quickly replied: "Boss, we saw the System notification yesterday. Nine Dragon Mountain is finished. You are truly amazing. Everyone cheered all night, all thanking you for saving their lives!"

It was all nonsense, and Han Huohuo didn't like listening to it. He directly asked: "Last time you said that as long as I took care of Nine Dragon Mountain, everyone would recognize me as the alliance leader in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Does that still count?"

Huo Zheng's heart immediately startled. He knew that this Boss was thinking about this matter and quickly replied: "Yes, of course it counts. It's just that there's a slight disagreement about the method of forming the alliance."

Han Huohuo sneered, not wanting to hear what the disagreement was at all, and interrupted Huo Zheng: "I said, shouldn't I be the one to decide the method of forming the alliance? When did you need to discuss it?"

Han Huohuo's tone was extremely impolite, and Huo Zheng broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that this big shot was not only powerful in battle but also definitely not someone to be trifled with. He immediately didn't dare to string Han Huohuo along.

"Boss, then you suggest a method for forming the alliance, and I'll communicate it with them!"

Han Huohuo already had a plan in mind. His strength was evident, and he wasn't worried about them not being convinced, so he listed his conditions.

"Huo Zheng, remember one thing. We are all banditss, wanted criminals of the Great Qian Dynasty. Even if I eliminate Nine Dragon Mountain, the Great Qian Dynasty will not let us go. There will be many dangers and wars in the future. When we form an alliance, I'm not trying to take advantage of you, nor will I make it impossible for you to survive. Moreover, it will benefit you. I've said all I can. You can think about it yourselves."

Han Huohuo first explained the reasoning to Huo Zheng, having done his utmost, and then laid out his conditions.

"After forming the alliance, I will do my best to protect you militarily. I will not attack you, nor will I let us Ten Thousand Mountains be bullied from the outside. Of course, since you enjoy my protection, you must allocate a portion of your workers to gather resources for me. I don't need much, each Lord gathers from one mine. Note this down, I need iron ore, Black Stone Mine, and rare ore. I don't need other mines. Do you understand?"

Huo Zheng understood, but worried about misunderstanding, he confirmed again: "Boss, does that mean each Lord just needs to choose one mine to gather from, for example, if I gather from an iron mine, all the profits go to you, and I don't need to gather from other mines?"

Han Huohuo nodded: "That's right. If you can accept it, sign the alliance treaty. If any Lord doesn't agree, I won't force anyone."

"Okay, then let's do that. I'll go talk to the other Lords right away."
