After the massive Swamp Mud swallowed all 400 Combat Robots, the mysterious power dissipated, and the ground returned to normal.

"Ten meters! Is that your limit? Bonnie, the puppets under my command are far more than just this!" Yang Feng gave a cold smile and waved his hand. One hundred Swordsmen flickered into motion, quickly arriving at the spot where the 400 had been swallowed. They pulled out massive bricks and stabbed them into the ground, beginning to dig and destroy the terrain in an attempt to unearth the 400 Swordsmen buried below.

Bonnie was, after all, only a Level-1 Warlock. Even with the power of the Wizard Tower, his Level-1 spell, Swamp Mud, could only sink those Combat Robots about 10 meters underground.

If the opponent were human, being buried 10 meters deep would mean certain death. But for the Swordsmen, they were merely buried and immobilized; they had not been destroyed.

"Attack!!" a Military Officer roared from atop the city wall.

Massive catapults and heavy Alchemy Heavy Ballistae appeared on the ramparts.

Heavy Crossbow Bolts seven meters long and massive boulders weighing one or two tons rained down upon the 100 mechanical Swordsmen.

A heavy crossbow bolt struck a mechanical Swordsman in the chest, shattering its upper body and scattering countless parts.

A massive boulder weighing a ton fell from the sky, slamming directly into a mechanical Swordsman and crushing it into a twisted, deformed mess.

Black City was backed by the Warlock group known as the Black Hut, making it a hundred times wealthier than Giant Stone City. The various Heavy War Weapons stationed on the walls of Black City were also ten times more numerous than those in Giant Stone City.

Under the bombardment of these various Heavy War Weapons, the mechanical Swordsmen were shattered and deformed one by one.

Yang Feng watched as his mechanical Swordsmen were destroyed by the Heavy War Weapons, his expression remaining unchanged. Those Level-4 mechanical Swordsmen had the lowest technical requirements; as long as their wreckage could be recovered, they only needed a small amount of energy to be melted down and reforged, allowing them to be manufactured again very quickly.

No matter how many mechanical Swordsmen died, as long as the battle was won and their remains could be recovered, new ones could be produced. It was equivalent to the mechanical Swordsmen having infinite lives. It was precisely because of this that Yang Feng could be so reckless and use them freely; no matter how many died, he did not care.

"Fireball Spell!"

After the Heavy War Weapons on Black City's walls unleashed several rounds of saturation fire, destroying a large number of mechanical Swordsmen, Bonnie reached out a finger and cast the Level-1 Fireball Spell. Fireballs flew out from the Wizard Tower like cannonballs, slamming into the remaining mechanical Swordsmen and blasting them into fragments one by one.

Seeing the mechanical Swordsmen blown to pieces, the warriors of Black City atop the walls erupted into cheers, their morale soaring.

"Truly impressive! A Warlock paired with a Wizard Tower is like a humanoid mobile artillery piece with infinite shells! And a multi-functional one at that! It seems I'll have to get a little serious."

Yang Feng watched as his mechanical Swordsmen were blasted to bits, smiled slightly, and clapped his hands.

From the forest behind Yang Feng, mechanical Swordsmen slowly emerged.

Ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, thirty thousand—a full 30,000 mechanical Swordsmen marched out from behind Yang Feng, forming a dense Mechanical Legion that seemed to have no end in sight.

The expressions of the human warriors on the walls of Black City changed as the mechanical Swordsmen continued to appear. When they saw the 30,000 mechanical Swordsmen divided into legions appearing before their eyes, everyone turned pale, a look of despair flashing in their eyes.

A human Military Officer turned pale, his voice trembling as he said, "How is this possible? How can there be so many Alchemy Puppets?"

Another human Military Officer turned pale and muttered, "Impossible! A single Alchemy Puppet comparable to a Knight-level warrior costs over 3,000 Gold Coins! This many Alchemy Puppets would cost 90 million Gold Coins! How could a mere Wizard Apprentice possess so many? Are we facing an Alchemy Warlock at the Great Warlock level?"

Bonnie, hovering in mid-air, saw the 30,000 mechanical Swordsmen and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He shrieked in a state of agitation, "No!! How could you have so many Alchemy Puppets?"

A few hundred Knight-level Alchemy Puppets were something the Level-1 Warlock Bonnie could easily handle from within his Wizard Tower. But against 30,000 Knight-level Alchemy Puppets, Bonnie had absolutely no confidence.

The 30,000 mechanical Swordsmen formed three massive formations of ten thousand, perfectly aligned, with identical spacing and size, as if they were a single entity. Each Mechanical Legion was silent and cold, possessing more obedience and order than even the most elite human soldiers. Just by standing there, they exerted a tremendous sense of oppression.

Yang Feng coldly commanded, "Attack!"

The three mechanical Swordsman legions fanned out and charged directly toward Black City from different directions.

"Swamp Mud!"

Bonnie's expression changed drastically as he quickly cast the terrain-altering spell.

A powerful surge of energy erupted from the Wizard Tower, shrouding the area in front of Black City and forming a massive swamp.

The mechanical Swordsman warriors jumped directly into the swamp, then raised their arms high, sinking slowly to form a platform-like structure.

The mechanical Swordsmen in the rear stepped onto the platforms formed by those in front and charged straight ahead.

The range of the Level-1 Swamp Mud spell released by Bonnie was extremely vast, but he was only a Level-1 Warlock; while the area was wide, the depth was relatively shallow, only 10 meters. It only took five mechanical Swordsmen to form a foothold in the swamp.

Those mechanical Swordsmen possessed powerful computational abilities, stepping with pinpoint precision onto the footholds, quickly leaping across the massive swamp, and reaching the base of the city walls.

Once they arrived at the walls, the mechanical Swordsmen quickly stacked themselves into human ladders.

The warriors of Black City atop the walls poured hot soup and boiling oil down onto the mechanical Swordsmen, but it had no effect.

Barrels of City Defense Fire Oil were also poured down, and when a torch fell into the oil, it created a sea of fire that engulfed the mechanical Swordsmen.

Even while being incinerated by the sea of fire, the mechanical Swordsmen remained unmoved. Unless the temperature of the flames reached the point of melting them, they would remain as unshakeable as steel.
