Locke had yet to decide whether to fight or flee when the 400 Humanoid Blade Soldiers charged straight into the Giant Stone City warriors, swinging their alloy greatswords like 400 humanoid meat grinders and stirring up a storm of blood and flesh among them.
"Beast, go to hell!" An exceptionally skilled Giant Stone City Advanced Warrior roared and savagely slashed his sword at a Blade Soldier's shoulder.
Clang!
That strike left only a shallow mark on the Blade Soldier's shoulder.
"No!!" Despair flashed through the Advanced Warrior's eyes as he let out a heart-rending roar.
The next moment, the Blade Soldier casually swung its blade, cleaving the Advanced Warrior down the middle and splitting him into two. Blood splattered all over the Blade Soldier'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 the Giant Stone City warriors.
Silent, cold-blooded, fearless, mechanical—this was the fighting style of mechanical warriors. They were also the ideal army most rulers longed to possess. They would not disobey orders, nor would their morale falter. Even if they fought until the last man, they would never retreat. Human armies, on the other hand—even the most elite ones—would collapse once their casualties reached thirty percent.
Before long, Giant Stone City's two thousand elite warriors had suffered devastating casualties and scattered in every direction like an avalanche.
"Let's go!" Locke gritted his teeth, turned around, 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 the Giant Stone City warriors collapse outright, Yang Feng issued an order, and the 400 Blade Soldiers shouted in voices synthesized from icy metal.
The remaining Giant Stone City warriors felt as though they had heard heavenly music. One after another, they threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered directly to Yang Feng.
"That was truly easy. Flesh and blood were ultimately no match for 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 flesh, blood, and severed limbs. Looking at the kneeling captives, his brows furrowed slightly before relaxing again.
Compared to Earth, the Durando Subcontinent was an extremely cruel place. Virtually every nation possessed large numbers of slaves. If Yang Feng failed, he would become a slave himself, unable to live and unable to die. From the moment he attacked Black Rock Town, there had been no retreat for him. One step back was hell.
"Then next, let me see what Giant Stone City is capable of!"
Yang Feng arranged for fifty Blade Soldiers to escort more than a thousand captives to Black Rock Town, while he himself led over three thousand Combat Robots rapidly toward Giant Stone City.
After half an hour of marching at full speed, Giant Stone City's enormous walls appeared before Yang Feng.
"So this is Giant Stone City! Black Rock Town truly cannot be mentioned in the same breath as it."
Giant Stone City was exceptionally magnificent. Its walls stood twenty-five meters tall and had been constructed from massive white rock, second only to Steel Rock. Those twenty-five-meter-high walls could completely prevent most powerful experts and formidable creatures from leaping directly onto them.
Among Knight-level experts, only Sky Knight-level experts could leap onto walls twenty-five meters high in a single bound.
Because Yang Feng's troops advanced too quickly, the routed soldiers had not yet fled back to Giant Stone City when his Mechanical Legion had already reached its gates. The city gates had not even been raised.
"Kill your way in!" A cold glint flashed through Yang Feng's eyes as he pointed at Giant Stone City and gave the order.
The 400 Mechanical Swordsmen immediately went into full operation, charging toward Giant Stone City at the terrifying speed of 150 kilometers per hour.
"Who are you people? Stop at once!" Seeing the 400 Mechanical Swordsmen, the warriors collecting city taxes at the gates felt a sense of foreboding rise in their hearts and shouted loudly.
The Mechanical Swordsmen paid no attention whatsoever to the warriors' shouts and reached the city gates within seconds.
Blade light flashed, and the warriors at the gate were cut down instantly, collapsing onto the ground.
"Enemy attack!!"
"There are enemies! Damn it, who the hell are they?!"
"Prepare for battle!!"
"..."
Loud alarm calls suddenly rang out throughout Giant Stone City. A unit stationed near the gates rapidly appeared and charged directly at the Mechanical Swordsmen.
The Mechanical Swordsmen immediately launched a countercharge and rushed at that unit.
The two armies collided violently. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Giant Stone City's human army was harvested like wheat by the Mechanical Swordsmen. It collapsed in less than a minute and fled in all directions.
Even Giant Stone City's most powerful 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 several counterattacks by the Giant Stone City City Garrison had been crushed, the entire Giant Stone City City Garrison system completely collapsed.
After leaving fifty Blade Soldiers behind to control the city gates, Yang Feng led 350 Blade Soldiers directly toward the city lord's mansion.
After Yang Feng seized the city gates, all of Giant Stone City fell into chaos.
Every enemy Yang Feng encountered along the way was directly cut down by the 350 Blade Soldiers. Many bandits taking advantage of the disorder to burn, kill, plunder, and rape were likewise immediately killed by Blade Soldiers whenever he encountered them.
The city lord's mansion stood in the center of Giant Stone City. It was a gigantic fortress twice the size of Black Rock Stronghold. Its walls stood fifteen meters high, and they were packed with elite private soldiers personally trained by Viscount Helu.
The area within six hundred meters around the city lord's mansion was exceptionally open, with no trees or buildings of any kind.
The moment the 350 Blade Soldiers rushed out from the streets, six gigantic ballista bolts, each seven meters long, shot out from Giant Stone Fortress. Three of the bolts struck three Blade Soldiers, smashing and twisting their bodies to pieces and knocking them to the ground, unable to move.
The remaining Blade Soldiers were not frightened in the slightest by the gigantic bolts. Expressionlessly, they continued charging toward Giant Stone Fortress.
When the Blade Soldiers approached Giant Stone Fortress's walls, two hundred archers suddenly appeared atop them.
A dense rain of arrows descended from the sky toward the Mechanical Swordsmen.
The Mechanical Swordsmen casually knocked aside the arrows fired at them. Some arrows luckily struck their bodies, only to be bounced away. Only two Knight-level archers, relying on the terrifying life force they unleashed, managed to shoot two arrows into the heart regions of two Mechanical Swordsmen. Yet the Mechanical Swordsmen's vital points were not located in their hearts. With arrows lodged in their heart regions, the two struck Mechanical Swordsmen still charged expressionlessly beneath Giant Stone City's walls.
