Attack on the Town

Black Rock Town was one of the ten towns under Giant Stone City's jurisdiction. The area around Black Rock Town had little flat land and many mountains, with most of the land unsuitable for farming.

However, several large iron ore veins lay around Black Rock Town.

Relying on those large iron ore veins, Baron Kirov of Black Rock Town had turned the entire town into a center for steelmaking and weapons production. The weapons produced in Black Rock Town supplied countless nobles of the Fein Deluo Principality, earning Baron Kirov enormous wealth.

Black Rock Town was also far more prosperous than Red Leaf Town. The total population of Red Leaf Town was less than a thousand, while Black Rock Town already had a population of thirty thousand. It was also the wealthiest of the ten towns under Giant Stone City's jurisdiction.

Black Rock Town's only weakness was its inability to produce its own food. Every year, it had to purchase large amounts of grain from elsewhere. That was precisely why Baron Kirov had set his sights on the Zhao Family's Red Leaf Town. As long as he got his hands on fertile Red Leaf Town, Baron Kirov would no longer lack food.

On a small hill two kilometers outside Black Rock Town.

Yang Feng stood on the hill, looking down at Black Rock Town in the distance. Behind him stood fifty Level 4 Blade Soldiers, fifty Level 4 Spearmen, ten Artillerymen, and two Level 5 Liquid Metal Robots. All the robots wore black battle robes and radiated an imposing, murderous aura.

Yang Feng pointed at Black Rock Town and ordered, "I want Black Rock Town! Move out and take it! Kill on the Spot anyone who resists!"

"Yes, Master!" the 112 robots answered loudly in mechanical synthesized voices.

As soon as he finished speaking, thirty Blade Soldiers, thirty Spearmen, five Artillerymen, and one Level 5 Liquid Metal Robot charged down the hill and rushed straight toward Black Rock Town.

Yang Feng took out a metal helmet and put it on.

That metal helmet was called the Consciousness Transmission Helmet. It could transmit and link Yang Feng's consciousness to any robot within a five-kilometer radius that had been fitted with a receiving chip, allowing Yang Feng to directly control those combat robots.

On the Durando Subcontinent, there were knights with incomparably powerful physical strength, as well as warlocks with bizarre and terrifying methods. Many warlocks wielded dreadful powers that could silently kill people outright. Yang Feng did not dare go to the battlefield himself, or he might not even know how he died.

Before merging with the inheritance robot No. 3796, Yang Feng's original body had been extremely fragile. Even an ordinary person could kill him. A powerful warlock could take him out with the slightest trick.

In an instant, Yang Feng's consciousness linked with the Level 5 Liquid Metal Robot. The robot's body twisted, rapidly transforming into Yang Feng's form.

"So this is the ability of a Western Tribe powerhouse. They can freely move through the bodies of robots under their command and completely control any robot. As long as the soul isn't destroyed, they can be reborn in any robot body. If I'm about to die of old age and still can't find a way to extend my lifespan, becoming a robot wouldn't be a bad choice either."

Yang Feng moved his body and discovered that the body formed by the Liquid Metal Robot was no worse than his own flesh-and-blood body. It was completely like another body of his own.

"What a pity this body has no sensation!"

Yang Feng viciously squeezed his right hand with all his strength, nearly deforming it. Even so, his right hand felt nothing.

No. 3796's voice suddenly rang out in Yang Feng's mind. "Master, it's not as though there is no solution if you want sensation! Once you construct a Level 3 Mobile Fortress Base, you can manufacture flesh-and-blood Liquid Metal Robots. Those flesh-and-blood Liquid Metal Robots can give you all the sensations of a human body. You can also perfectly experience the sensation of the mating activities humans enjoy."

"Shut up!" Yang Feng cursed angrily.

No. 3796's voice immediately disappeared.

Black Rock Town had already begun to resemble a city. A six-meter-high wall surrounded the town, and six soldiers stood guard at the entrance.

When they saw more than sixty robots dressed in black robes and brimming with killing intent racing toward them, the six soldiers immediately sounded the alarm.

A piercing alarm echoed through Black Rock Town.

The solid steel gate dropped at once, sealing the entrance shut.

More than thirty well-trained, fully armed archers swiftly climbed onto the wall and watched Yang Feng's forces with extreme vigilance.

"Siege the town!"

At Yang Feng's command, the five Artillerymen stepped forward, their 120-millimeter heavy cannons immediately aiming at the gate.

Boom!!

Accompanied by five earth-shaking explosions, the solid steel gate was blasted into pieces. The terrifying shockwave even threw several archers off the wall.

"Warlocks, alchemists!! They're warlocks!!" A squad leader on the wall saw the scene, his courage shattered as he muttered in terror.

The archers' faces turned ashen, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Warlocks were the most powerful beings in this world. Some powerful warlocks were comparable to gods in the eyes of mortals. Now that the gate had been breached, those soldiers had lost all confidence in fighting against the warlocks of legend.

Only the most elite and powerful armies, hardened through grueling training, had the courage to fight warlocks. The troops from a small place like Black Rock Town had no courage to face a powerful warlock.

"Those who kneel, disarm, and surrender will not be killed! Those who resist will be Killed on the Spot!" A Blade Soldier stepped forward from the crowd and roared.

The archers on the wall shuddered and hesitated. One archer was the first to throw down his weapon and kneel. As though triggering a chain reaction, the other soldiers also discarded their weapons one after another and knelt down.

After Yang Feng sent five Blade Soldiers to take control of the prisoners, he continued leading the main force deeper into Black Rock Town.

Black Rock Town had fallen completely silent. All the townsfolk had hidden in their homes, watching Yang Feng and his group with frightened eyes.

Black Rock Stronghold's walls stood ten meters high and stretched one kilometer across. They had been built entirely from black rock, which was as hard as steel. Even experts at the Knight level could not leap over a ten-meter wall in a single bound. Even Grand Knight-level powerhouses needed to remove their heavy armor before they could possibly jump onto such a high wall.

More than two hundred soldiers stood atop the walls of Black Rock Stronghold. They wore leather armor, carried all manner of weapons, and stood at their posts. Their bearing was clearly several times stronger than that of the soldiers at Red Leaf Fort.

Two heavy ballistae had been placed on the wall. Each ballista was seven meters long, and even their bolts were seven meters long. Five or six people had to operate one together to draw it. Those heavy ballistae were immensely powerful. Even a Grand Knight-level powerhouse would be killed if struck head-on by one bolt.
