One Strike to Break the City (Part 2)

"How truly impoverished!" the Yin Clan sorcerer standing beside Yin Xuege sneered disdainfully.

It was indeed quite impoverished. Fanlu'er City's defensive barrier couldn't even cover the entire urban area. They could only temporarily divert the barrier's power to protect the section of the city wall under attack! And the Yin Clan? The Yin Clan City-State was at least twenty times larger than Fanlu'er City before them, yet the entire Yin Clan was tightly protected by the Blood Mist Barrier!

"The Yin Clan's might is not something these people can compare to!" Yin Xuege gripped the Blood Spirit Sword, unable to suppress a cold laugh.

The Yin Clan was a grave threat to both the Great Berlin City-State and the Milan City-State. Because of the Yin Clan's menace, the Great Berlin City-State and the Milan City-State had been living in a state of constant alert for decades, fearing every rustle of leaves and shadow. The Yin Clan's power was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary humans.

As dozens of giant bombs plummeted downwards, dazzling Demonic Script Talismans suddenly flashed across their casings. Dozens of fist-sized crystals violently collided within the bombs, and all the energy within the crystals erupted instantaneously.

This was the Yin Clan's latest achievement in recent years, combining human bombs with the heavenly lightning of cultivation world crystals. In this era, where the Era of Dharma Decline was ending but not yet completely over, such hybrid weapons possessed absolutely terrifying destructive power.

Bright and the others saw the Demonic Script Talismans flashing on the bombs simultaneously, and their faces instantly turned deathly pale! They had seen bombs fired from Yin Clan Mortar Cannons countless times before, but they had never seen bombs inscribed with Demonic Script Talismans!

No one understood better than they did what this meant.

Bright, Sander, Fennice, and the young men and women in various colored robes beside them turned and left without a word. They leaped off the city wall at top speed, then their bodies rapidly ascended, flying towards the depths of Fanlu'er City as fast as they could.

Dozens of heavy bombs plunged straight into the ground. They landed almost in a straight line, adhering to Fanlu'er City Wall's defensive barrier, neatly embedding themselves into the earth less than fifty meters from the wall. One of the heavy bombs struck the farmer who had been burned alive, shaking his charred corpse into countless scattered black cinders.

These bombs sank fifty meters into the ground and then detonated simultaneously. Each bomb was filled with tons of high-energy explosives manufactured by humans, and combined with the energy released by dozens of crystals within each bomb, a destructive shockwave rapidly spread from underground.

Yin Xuege and the others watched as a straight, black-and-red mushroom cloud rose from the ground, slowly rotating as it ascended hundreds of meters into the sky.

A section of Fanlu'er City's metal wall, several miles long, twisted like a suffering python before lightly soaring into the sky. Along with the thousands of human soldiers defending it, they were reduced to countless fragments in the black-and-red flames.

The earth trembled, and a crater over a kilometer in diameter appeared outside Fanlu'er City.

A terrifying shockwave, accompanied by a piercing howl, roared towards them. The hurricane kicked up the soil and grass from the plains, turning into a black sandstorm that swept across the entire Yin Clan army. However, the Yin Clan's one hundred Flying Magic Chariots, having been prepared, simultaneously lit up with dazzling light. These Yin Clan magic chariots, arranged according to a peculiar pattern, interconnected to form a massive defensive formation.

A blood-colored light screen enveloped the entire Yin Clan army. The oncoming black sandstorm impacted the blood-colored barrier, causing countless ripples, but it was unable to damage the barrier in the slightest.

The chaos caused by the explosion lasted for about three minutes. When the shockwave passed and the dust began to settle, visibility returned.

A three-mile section of Fanlu'er City's wall was completely gone. Thousands of houses near the wall had already been pulverized by the shock. At least ten thousand security force soldiers from the Great Berlin City-State and thousands of Hunters lay dead or wounded on the ground. This entire area of the city was already stained with blood.

Several tall towers within Fanlu'er City exploded simultaneously. The intense backlash energy detonated the energy cores of these barrier towers, and many important buildings near the towers were also shattered. The city's guard forces also suffered thousands of casualties due to the explosion of these towers.

What was even more devastating was that this violent explosion caused the morale of Fanlu'er City's defenders to plummet to absolute zero. The soldiers and Hunters from the Great Berlin City-State still held a sliver of resistance, but the soldiers and militiamen of Fanlu'er City were already like walking corpses. They dropped their weapons, their eyes wide with confusion, and fled towards the rear.

With a single bombardment from the Yin Clan army, Fanlu'er City's resistance was completely crushed.

"Young Master Xuege, this is the power of our Yin Clan!" the sorcerer said triumphantly, controlling his soul-contracted crow to fly over Fanlu'er City. Through the crystal ball, it could be seen that large numbers of soldiers and militiamen were dropping their weapons and fleeing. The elites from the Great Berlin City-State, having lost their command, had fallen into chaos.

"Attack! Let the Blood Servant Army begin their assault! Capture as many alive as possible, especially those elite soldiers from the Great Berlin City-State! Capture as many alive as possible!" Yin Xuege knew how to best serve the Yin Clan's interests. Those elite soldiers were naturally to be captured. If they were willing to defect to the Yin Clan, they would be the best candidates for the Blood Servant Army.

Even if they were unwilling to surrender, they would be the best seeds for Blood Slaves! They were strong and healthy, their vitality was robust, and their blood would be of great benefit to the Yin Clan's Young Disciples and other Yin Clan members!

Dead humans held no value for the Yin Clan. Only living humans were precious treasures!

The defensive barrier formed by the Flying Magic Chariots dispersed. Thirty thousand Yin Clan Blood Servant soldiers, wielding weapons of various colors and riding Unicorn Blood Beasts, charged towards Fanlu'er City like a storm. They continuously let out sharp whistles, their incessant calls like the cries of demons, repeatedly striking the already broken spirits of the humans within Fanlu'er City.

A tall, stout middle-aged man stood despairingly on the half-collapsed city wall, wailing at the top of his lungs.

"Everyone, come back! Counterattack! Counterattack! You can't run! Fanlu'er City is finished! Do you all want to become food for demons?"

"Lord Bright! Lord Sander! Lord Fennice! Come back, come back!"

"You can't abandon us! You can't do this! Your mission was to help us defend Fanlu'er City!"

A high-pitched wolf howl echoed, and Wumu was the first to charge into Fanlu'er City. He swung his horse-slaying sword, and a piercing cold light flashed. The tall, stout middle-aged man let out a tragic cry as the upper half of his body flew far away with the sword's light.

"Fennice, my dear! Uncle Wumu is here for you! None of you are allowed to run, you can't escape!"

In the high sky, one hundred Hell Three-Headed Dragon Eagles flew by with boundless terror. (To be continued)
