Drive Back Tiger King

Seeing his subordinates fall into a disadvantage, Tiger King exerted all his strength and knocked Old Ghost back several steps.

Tiger King looked at the old man who could fight him head-on and said cautiously, "You damned old ghost, you've got some skills."

In truth, Tiger King was somewhat unwilling to accept this. He could tell that the old City Lord of Moon Temple had declined in combat strength due to his age and was no match for him at all.

If no outsiders had interfered, Tiger King would have dared to swear that in another ten minutes, he could easily kill this old ghost.

At this moment, Tiger King regretted not bringing more subordinates. Had he known the City Lord of Moon Temple was this formidable, he would have brought more men.

In this short time, that useless Blue Leopard Beast had already been killed by Vanguard. If he had brought Green Panther Beasts or Blue Poison Beast instead, Vanguard might have been the one to die.

Although the several hundred elite Black Panther Beasts he had brought were each fairly strong, there were too few of them. Under Vanguard's leadership, the Moon Temple warriors' morale was soaring, and fewer than a hundred Black Panther Beasts remained on the battlefield.

Tiger King was no fool. Once the surrounding Motorcycle Clan warriors killed the remaining Black Panther Beasts and freed themselves up to gang up on him, even as a level 20 War King, he would be worn down by their repeated attacks.

Looking at the somewhat bedraggled Moon Temple City Lord, Tiger King said unwillingly, "Consider yourselves lucky this time, Moon Temple. Next time, I'll return and see what you're capable of."

After making his threat, Tiger King directly transformed back into beast mode and sped away from the area.

Seeing that even their marshal had fled, the remaining Black Panther Beasts scattered in all directions.

Seeing the enemy driven away, the Moon Temple warriors cheered in celebration of this hard-won victory.

Once the danger had passed, the City Lord slumped to the ground, panting heavily. (Don't ask me how robots can pant. They could pant in the original work. If an explanation is needed, it's because they are special mechanical lifeforms, not ordinary machines.)

Seeing his master collapsed on the ground, Vanguard grew anxious, afraid that his master had suffered some serious injury. He hurried to the City Lord's side and helped him up.

"Master, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Vanguard asked worriedly.

The City Lord waved his hand and said in a tired voice, "Don't worry, I'm not seriously injured. I'm just old, and my body has deteriorated somewhat. My fight with Tiger King just now consumed a great deal of energy."

"City Lord, are you all right?" The Purple Guard Warrior walked over from nearby. Then, in a flash of light, Xiao Zhen flew out of the Purple Guard Warrior's body.

Xiao Zhen activated the Mecha King's special reconnaissance goggles and discovered that the Moon Temple City Lord's health had fallen below 30%. If Tiger King had not retreated early, Moon Temple might have had to replace its City Lord.

The City Lord sighed and said helplessly, "I had thought that even if I was no match for Tiger King, I could at least fight him. Though I could not defeat him, I believed I could hold out for half an hour. Now it seems I overestimated myself, or underestimated Tiger King."

Vanguard said dismissively, "Master, don't say that. You were incredibly imposing just now. You held Tiger King back all by yourself. If Tiger King hadn't run so fast, then with you and me joining forces, plus all the brothers from Moon Temple, if we all attacked together, today would have been Tiger King's death anniversary."

Xiao Zhen also said helplessly, "Originally, we planned to stall until nightfall. That way, everyone would have the moonlight bonus. Who knew Tiger King would be so unreasonable? He did not give us even a moment and attacked the moment he arrived."

The City Lord looked over the corpses covering the ground. Most of them were Moon Temple warriors, which showed that the elite Black Panther Beasts Tiger King had brought were not to be underestimated.

If Tiger King had brought not merely several hundred Black Panther Beasts, but several thousand or even tens of thousands, then today would certainly have been the end of Moon Temple.

The City Lord looked at Xiao Zhen beside him and asked, "Lord Mecha King, what should we do next?"

The City Lord had few options. They had now thoroughly offended Tiger King, and he could figure out without much thought that Tiger King's army would arrive before long.

When that time came, Moon Temple's tens of thousands of warriors would not be able to defend Moon Temple at all. After all, Moon Temple did not even have city walls and possessed virtually no defensive capability.

Xiao Zhen had long had plans for what came next. He had originally assumed Moon Temple would be breached, and that he would simply flee alongside Vanguard afterward.

As long as he took Vanguard to find Blaze and helped Blaze level up, they could return to take revenge on Tiger King once they could use the Combined Ultimate Technique.

The place Xiao Zhen most wanted to go was Energy City. It was the strongest city in this world, equipped with a powerful central missile system, and the helicopter warriors there were fairly strong as well.

As long as they could enter Energy City, it would be the safest place unless all three War Kings attacked together with their armies.

Xiao Zhen said modestly, "Group Leader, you're too polite. There's no need to keep calling me 'my lord.' My real name is Xiao Zhen. You can just call me Xiao Zhen."

Whenever he heard the City Lord call him "my lord," Xiao Zhen felt a surge of vanity. Still, a little modesty was necessary.

The City Lord laughed heartily and said respectfully, "Since you are the Mecha King of our Motorcycle Clan, you are the leader of everyone in the Motorcycle Clan. It is only proper that we respect you."

Xiao Zhen said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm still not used to everyone calling me 'my lord.' Just call me Xiao Zhen. Consider that an order from the Mecha King."

Xiao Zhen was quite pleased by the City Lord's recognition of him as the Mecha King. Whether the City Lord was sincere or merely pretending, the support of such a strong warrior would make it easier for him to unite the Motorcycle Clan's strength. Xiao Zhen then opened his map and began explaining his plan.

"City Lord, look. We have now become enemies with Tiger King, and he definitely will not let us go in the future."

Everyone nodded. Given Tiger King's vengeful nature, he would never spare them. In just a few days, thousands upon thousands of Black Panther Beasts would likely return in force.

Vanguard grew anxious and stepped forward. "Then what can we do? Are we really going to abandon Moon Temple? This is our home."

Xiao Zhen comforted him, "Vanguard, Moon Temple definitely cannot be defended. We must retreat to a safe place now. Once we have enough strength in the future, we can still return to Moon Temple."

Vanguard said unwillingly, "We suffered so many casualties just to defend Moon Temple, but now we have to abandon it. I... I can't accept it!"

The City Lord walked over, patted Vanguard's shoulder, and comforted him, "Vanguard, remember this: sometimes, running away does not mean cowardice. It is for the sake of final victory."

"I... all right!" Vanguard stammered, unable to form a complete sentence. In the end, he could only helplessly agree to evacuate Moon Temple.

Only after seeing that even the most stubborn Vanguard had agreed did Xiao Zhen let out a sigh of relief. He had truly feared that this hothead would insist on defending Moon Temple to the death.

The City Lord looked at Xiao Zhen again and asked, "Lord Mecha King... all right! Xiao Zhen, please continue."

The City Lord had been about to call him "my lord" again, but remembered Xiao Zhen's earlier instruction and hurriedly changed his wording.

Xiao Zhen nodded before continuing, "Our final destination should be here: Energy City. It is the strongest city of our Motorcycle Clan. Only by entering it can we ensure everyone's safety."

Everyone nodded. They all recognized Energy City's defensive strength. The only question was whether Energy City would be willing to take in the people of Moon Temple.
