158: Giant Bomb

"Let's go!" Lin Xingyu shouted, mounting his Dark Fiend Dragon, and along with Wang Ledian and others, soared into the sky.

The Explosion Bees were being suppressed by the ultrasound cannon, so it had to be destroyed first.

The Dark Fiend Dragon transformed into its combat form, its enormous maw suddenly opened, and a massive Flame Bomb whistled out, accurately hitting the white tall tower.

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, the ultrasound cannon shattered into pieces.

With the interference gone, the Explosion Bees instantly regained their mobility and once again swarmed towards the enemy's anti-air defenses.

"Boom boom boom—"

The remaining sky guardians were quickly destroyed.

Then, the Dark Fiend Dragon swooped down, landing in the city center.

Lin Xingyu opened a teleportation channel, and the army, which had been on standby, surged out, launching a fierce assault on the enemy... Meanwhile.

In the wilderness southeast of Giant Mine City, the Empire's Fifth Legion was on the march.

As more and more humans infiltrated the Secret Realm, the Empire finally couldn't bear the pressure and deployed the Fifth Legion from the Central Mountain Range.

Their mission was to eliminate the humans and safeguard the Empire's security.

Inside the command mecha, the Legion Commander looked at the intelligence report before him, his face ashen.

"The Seventh Legion, those good-for-nothings! They couldn't even defeat the enemy's infiltration force!"

Just moments ago, they had received intelligence:

"Human forces have appeared in Giant Mine City, and the Seventh Legion has been completely annihilated..."

The Empire ordered them to rush to Giant Mine City as quickly as possible to eliminate the invaders.

Giant Mine City was a crucial smelting center for the Empire; if it fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, they were not far from Giant Mine City.

If they advanced at full speed, they were expected to arrive within an hour.

"Change direction, target: Giant Mine City!"

"Full speed ahead!"

...Giant Mine City.

After Lin Xingyu teleported the army over, the enemy's defensive forces were rapidly dismantled.

"Damn it..."

On the anti-air tower, Iron Pincer's face changed dramatically as he saw this scene.

He never expected his meticulously arranged defenses to be so easily dismantled by the enemy.

The enemy's methods were inconceivable; they could open spatial channels at will.

It was no wonder the Seventh Legion lost to them!

"Retreat!"

Iron Pincer didn't dare to hesitate, leading a few personal guards to escape down the tower.

There was a secret passage beneath the City Lord's Mansion that led directly out of the city.

The tide had turned; he needed to escape quickly and await the Empire's reinforcements.

However, as soon as they reached the ground, they ran head-on into an enraged Wang Ledian.

"Old fellow, where do you think you're going to run?"

Wang Ledian was still seething over what had happened earlier.

In all his days as an Evolver, this was the first time he had been blown away.

It made him lose face completely.

Fortunately, Wang Chiyao wasn't present, or he didn't know how long he would be teased.

Upon entering the city, he had headed straight here and finally cornered Iron Pincer.

Seeing that Wang Ledian was alone, Iron Pincer breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kill him!"

At his command, his personal guards instantly charged out.

They pushed their mechas to maximum power, attacking Wang Ledian.

These were mechas custom-made by Iron Pincer, specifically for his personal protection.

However, in front of Wang Ledian, who possessed counter-damage abilities, these mechas were no match.

They were quickly destroyed one by one.

"Now it's your turn!"

Wang Ledian leaped high, bringing his massive shield down fiercely.

In a few blows, he smashed Iron Pincer's mecha to smithereens.

He grabbed Iron Pincer from the cockpit and threw him to the ground.

"Old fellow, let you also taste the feeling of flying!"

Wang Ledian rummaged through his Inner World for a long time, finally finding a giant "firework."

This was an item contributed by some unfortunate soul, and it would come in handy.

He grabbed Iron Pincer, tying him securely to the firework.

"Wait...Waaaaah..."

Iron Pincer had just recovered from his dizziness and, seeing this scene, was instantly scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

He was about to beg for mercy but was gagged by Wang Ledian with a smelly sock.

"Haha, off you go!"

Wang Ledian ran a distance and activated the "firework."

"Zzz—"

"Boom—"

The "firework" carried Iron Pincer soaring into the sky, exploding into countless fragments in mid-air... "Haha, that's what you get!"

Wang Ledian watched the scene, nodding in satisfaction... After clearing out the guard forces, Lin Xingyu led the army into plunder mode.

The goblins in the city were in a panic, driving various mechas and frantically fleeing towards the city outskirts.

However, as soon as they left the urban area, they ran straight into a minefield.

"Boom boom boom—"

Explosions rang out one after another, sending many goblins flying into the air.

The goblins behind them hastily stopped, on the verge of tears.

"Holy crap! The City Lord didn't even deactivate the minefield!"

"Damn bastard!"

"It's over, it's over, there's no escaping now!"

Control of the minefield was in the City Lord's hands, and the City Lord was now utterly annihilated.

"This is bad..."

In the crowd, a burly goblin's face turned pale.

He was Morin, the Deputy City Lord of Giant Mine City, and he knew many unknown secrets.

Beneath the central plaza of Giant Mine City, there was a giant bomb capable of leveling the entire city!

If no signal was received for more than half an hour, the bomb would automatically detonate.

The signal emitter was on the City Lord; once the City Lord lost vital signs, the signal would be interrupted.

At that time, the entire Giant Mine City would be buried with the City Lord... "That dog, Iron Pincer..."

Morin gritted his teeth in hatred.

There was an escape tunnel beneath the City Lord's Mansion, but only Iron Pincer knew its exact location.

He couldn't find it at all!

Weighing the pros and cons, Morin decided to tell Lin Xingyu this secret in exchange for a glimmer of hope.

The other party had a flying mount and could open teleportation channels, so taking him out of here wouldn't be a problem.

As for whether he would become a captive?

He couldn't worry about that now!

Having made up his mind, Morin immediately ran towards the treants.

"I want to see your leader!"

...Ten minutes later.

Morin was brought before Lin Xingyu and confessed everything.

"Holy crap..."

Lin Xingyu's face changed dramatically, and he immediately opened a teleportation channel.

"Everyone retreat!!!"

"Old Dian, you all stay here and assist with the retreat, I'll go check over there!"

With that, he grabbed Morin and dashed towards the central plaza.

The army had already dispersed throughout the city, and a quick retreat was no longer possible in terms of time.

Especially the slow-moving treant troops.

The immediate priority was to find that bomb and move it out of Giant Mine City.

Although Morin repeatedly emphasized that the bomb was too large to move.

But Lin Xingyu possessed an Inner World and could take the bomb into it, then transfer it outside the city...
