Attack on Giant Stone City

Locke had yet to decide whether to fight or flee when the 400 humanoid swordsmen charged straight into Giant Stone City's warriors, swinging their alloy greatswords like 400 humanoid meat grinders and unleashing a storm of blood and flesh among them.

"Beast, die!" A Giant Stone City Advanced Warrior with considerable martial skill roared and viciously slashed his sword at a swordsman's shoulder.

Clang!

That strike left only a shallow mark on the swordsman's shoulder.

"No!!" Despair flashed through the advanced warrior's eyes as he let out a heart-wrenching roar.

The next moment, the swordsman casually swung its blade, cleaving the advanced warrior down the middle and splitting him in two. Blood splattered all over the swordsman's body.

After killing the advanced warrior, the Mechanical Swordsman neither cheered nor roared. It mechanically stepped over the advanced warrior's corpse and continued slaughtering Giant Stone City's warriors.

Silent, cold, fearless, mechanical—this was the fighting style of mechanical warriors. They were also the ideal army most desired by those in power. They would not disobey orders, nor would their morale falter. Even if they fought down to the last man, they would never retreat. Human armies, on the other hand—even the most elite ones—would collapse once their casualty rate reached 30%.

Before long, Giant Stone City's two thousand elite warriors suffered devastating casualties and scattered in all directions like an avalanche.

"We're leaving!" Locke gritted his teeth, turned, and fled toward Giant Stone City with his trusted personal guards.

"Drop your weapons and kneel to surrender, and you will not be killed!"

"Drop your weapons and kneel to surrender, and you will not be killed!"

"..."

Seeing Giant Stone City's warriors collapse outright, Yang Feng issued an order. The 400 swordsman warriors shouted in voices synthesized from cold metal.

The surviving warriors of Giant Stone City felt as though they had heard heavenly music. They threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered directly to Yang Feng.

That was easy! Flesh and blood truly cannot stand against bodies of steel. The only regret is that I didn't get to witness a Wizard Apprentice's methods.

Yang Feng walked across the battlefield littered with blood, flesh, and severed limbs. He looked at the kneeling prisoners, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing.

Compared to Earth, the Durando Subcontinent was an exceedingly cruel place. Virtually every nation possessed large numbers of slaves. If Yang Feng failed, he would become a slave himself, unable to live or die as he wished. From the moment he attacked Black Rock Town, there had been no turning back. One step back meant hell.

"Now then, let me see what Giant Stone City is capable of!"

Yang Feng arranged for fifty swordsmen to escort more than a thousand prisoners to Black Rock Town, while he himself led over three thousand combat robots swiftly toward Giant Stone City.

After marching at full speed for half an hour, Giant Stone City's massive walls appeared before Yang Feng.

"So that is Giant Stone City! Black Rock Town truly cannot compare."

Giant Stone City was immensely majestic. Its walls stood twenty-five meters high and were constructed from massive white rock second only to steel rock in hardness. Those towering twenty-five-meter walls could completely prevent most powerful individuals and creatures from leaping directly onto them.

Among Knight-level experts, only Sky Knight-level experts could leap onto a twenty-five-meter-high wall in a single bound.

Because Yang Feng's army advanced too quickly, the routed soldiers had not yet fled back to Giant Stone City when his Mechanical Legion had already arrived before it. The city gates had not even been closed.

"Kill your way in!" A cold glint flashed through Yang Feng's eyes as he pointed at Giant Stone City and gave the command.

The 400 Mechanical Swordsmen immediately activated at full speed, charging toward Giant Stone City at the terrifying speed of 150 kilometers per hour.

"Who are you people? Stop at once!" The warriors collecting the city tax at the gates felt an ominous premonition upon seeing the 400 Mechanical Swordsmen and shouted loudly.

The Mechanical Swordsmen ignored the warriors' cries entirely and reached the gates within seconds.

Blade light flashed, and the warriors at the gate were immediately cut down, collapsing to the ground.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Enemies! Damn it, who are they?!"

"Prepare for battle!!"

"..."

Piercing alarm cries abruptly rang out throughout Giant Stone City. A force stationed near the gates quickly appeared and charged directly at the Mechanical Swordsmen.

The Mechanical Swordsmen immediately launched a countercharge toward that force.

The two armies collided violently. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere as Giant Stone City's human soldiers were harvested like wheat by the Mechanical Swordsmen. They lasted less than a minute before collapsing and fleeing in every direction.

Even Giant Stone City's strongest force, the Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry, was no match for the Mechanical Swordsmen. Other human armies stood even less chance against this terrifying mechanical army.

After repelling several counterattacks by the Giant Stone City City Garrison, the entire City Garrison command structure completely collapsed.

After leaving fifty swordsmen behind to control the gates, Yang Feng led 350 swordsmen directly toward the City Lord's Mansion.

After Yang Feng seized the city gates, the entirety of Giant Stone City descended into chaos.

Every enemy Yang Feng encountered along the way was directly cut down by the 350 swordsmen. Any bandits taking advantage of the chaos to burn, kill, loot, and plunder were also immediately executed by swordsmen whenever he encountered them.

The City Lord's Mansion stood at the center of Giant Stone City. It was a gigantic castle twice the size of Black Rock Stronghold. Its walls stood fifteen meters high, and they were filled with elite private soldiers personally cultivated by Viscount Helu.

The area within six hundred meters around the City Lord's Mansion was exceedingly open, with no trees or buildings whatsoever.

The moment the 350 swordsmen emerged from the streets, six massive seven-meter-long ballista bolts shot out from Giant Stone Fortress. Three of them struck three swordsmen, smashing and twisting their bodies apart and knocking them to the ground, unable to move.

The remaining swordsmen were not frightened in the slightest by the massive bolts and charged expressionlessly toward Giant Stone Fortress.

When the swordsmen approached the walls of Giant Stone Fortress, two hundred archers suddenly appeared atop them.

A dense rain of arrows descended from above, shooting toward the Mechanical Swordsmen.

The Mechanical Swordsmen casually knocked aside the arrows flying toward them. Even the occasional arrow that fortunately struck their bodies was sent bouncing away. Only two Knight-level archers, relying on the terrifying life force they unleashed, managed to shoot two arrows into the heart areas of two Mechanical Swordsmen. However, the Mechanical Swordsmen' vital points were not located in their hearts. With arrows embedded in their heart areas, the two struck Mechanical Swordsmen charged expressionlessly beneath Giant Stone City's walls.
