Compromise

Pfft...! Boom boom...!

Without warning, the spaceship spewed out dazzling flames and fired countless projectiles, causing the defensive array of Falling Rosy Clouds City to shake violently.

"Oh no! Lord, we can't hold out any longer!"

Within just a few breaths, the defensive array containing the Cloud-Blasting Cannon was already on the verge of collapse.

"Formation Team, go now!"

Fortunately, just in case, Yan Beihai had already ordered the formation team to wait on the city wall.

Upon receiving the order, the members of the formation team immediately came to the front of the Cloud-Blasting Cannon, threw out a large number of formation flags, and used their Soul Power to stabilize the defensive formation.

"Lord City Lord, the enemy's attack is so tricky, it's like a group of array masters are controlling weapons."

Although their individual attacks aren't very powerful, they always manage to hit the weak points in the formation. If this continues, our Soul Power will only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The leader of the formation group was sweating profusely and urgently reported to Yan Beihai.

"A group of array masters? Nonsense! How could they possibly have a group of array masters operating their weapons!"

Yan Beihai cursed inwardly, but he also understood that the leader of the formation group wouldn't talk nonsense.

His formation team was no ordinary group; their meticulously arranged formations would take a long time to break through, even if he himself were to attack them directly.

While high-level formations may have weaknesses, those weaknesses are constantly changing. If a single high-level formation master were to control the weapon and attack, it would be impossible to inflict such significant damage, unless the opponent, like oneself, also used a formation group to control the weapon.

However, to break through the defenses set up by one's own formation group, the opponent's formation group must be of a higher level than one's own.

He asked himself, his array formation team in Falling Rosy Clouds City was already stronger than those in many major cities, yet the Yin Lineage had an even stronger array formation team on the spaceship. He couldn't understand why this was so unreasonable.

"Fire at full power!! Keep firing!"

Yan Beihai couldn't care less about anything else at this point; he could only try to outlast his opponent and see who would give out first.

In fact, the reason why the spaceship's attack was so tricky was precisely because of Chen Mu's Intelligent Weapon System.

The Intelligent Weapon System developed by Chen Mu contains a module for breaking formations. Coupled with the powerful computing power of Rune Core No. 3, even Chen Mu's own efficiency in breaking formations cannot match that of the Intelligent Weapon System, which is why it can achieve this effect.

Of course, the Intelligent Weapon System is based on Chen Mu, the developer. Only formations that Chen Mu can crack can be cracked by the Intelligent Weapon System. If Chen Mu cannot crack the formation, even if the computing power of the Rune Core No. 3 is strong, it will be useless.

Boom! Boom boom...!

In this kind of arduous battle, there are no tricks to it.

The Yin Lineage was traveling on a transport spaceship, which was inherently not very maneuverable. Even after Chen Mu modified it, maneuverability was not their advantage. Rather than dodging in a sorry state, it was better to confront them head-on.

Under the attack of ten Cloud -Cloud-Blasting Cannon, the defensive arrays of the three spaceships gradually suffered damage. However, Chen Mu had layered several defensive arrays on the spaceships, so they could not damage the items inside the spaceships for the time being.

In the end, Chen Mu had no choice but to intervene, Dharma Power to intercept a small portion of the Cloud-Blasting Shell and reduce the pressure on the spaceship.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the defensive shield above the Cloud-Blasting Cannon finally shattered, and then a hail of bullets poured down on the Cloud-Blasting Cannon, destroying three or four Cloud-Blasting Cannon in a short time.

"Quick! Put away the Cloud-Blasting Cannon!"

Yan Beihai couldn't hold back any longer. He called on three of his Core Formation Realm subordinates to block the cannonballs and used a mechanism to retrieve the remaining Cloud-Blasting Cannon back into the city wall.

Subsequently, Chen Ju and the others on the spaceship changed their target and launched an attack on anti-aircraft equipment such as anti-aircraft crossbows.

As the saying goes, a defeated army collapses like a landslide. After the Cloud-Blasting Cannon was put away, the anti-aircraft firepower of Falling Rosy Clouds City weakened considerably and could no longer pose a significant threat to the spaceship.

On the other hand, the array Soul Power and array flags of Falling Rosy Clouds City have been exhausted, and the defensive array at the anti-air crossbow has begun to show damage after being swept by the spaceship several times.

"Stop!! Young Master Chen Mu, tell your men to stop!"

Yan Beihai's voice echoed on Chen Mu's boat, clearly indicating that he had compromised.

Chen Mu was not in a hurry. He waited for a while until Chen Ju had destroyed about half of the anti-aircraft crossbows in Falling Rosy Clouds City before signaling Chen Ju to stop.

Yan Beihai has already compromised, so there's no need to continue fighting, since he doesn't really want to occupy the city.

If the fighting continues, and Yan Beihai fights to the death, it's impossible for my small force to slaughter all the millions of soldiers in Falling Rosy Clouds City. In that case, it will only affect my plan to enter the city for supplies.

"Hehe, Lord Yan, may I enter the city now to resupply?"

Chen Mu revealed an innocent smile and laughed loudly.

"Come in! But let me tell you, my Falling Rosy Clouds Army is not to be trifled with."

"Don't cause trouble after you come in, otherwise it will benefit neither of us."

Yan Beihai shouted sternly, but to the Yin Lineage family members, it sounded somewhat like a show of bravado masking inner weakness.

"Patriarch Yin Lineage, notify the other six spaceships to follow! We'll enter Falling Rosy Clouds City together."

After saying this, Chen Mu returned to the deck, found a chair, and lay down comfortably.

"Yes!"

Yin Guang was also amazed today. Although he had noticed that there were some runic weapons on the ship before, and he often saw Chen Mu tinkering with the ship's formations and runes.

But he never imagined that in just half a month, Chen Mu would be able to make the three transport ships exert such amazing combat power.

This made him feel even more that Chen Mu was unfathomable, and he became even more confident in the power behind Chen Mu.

The other high-ranking members of the Yin Lineage were the same. They were originally somewhat apprehensive about migrating to the Wilderness, but after this battle, they were all full of confidence in the Wilderness and completely accepted the fact that they had to rely on Chen Mu.

Whoosh... whoosh... boom boom boom!

Nine large spaceships landed side by side, their hulls alone occupying an area of two to three square kilometers. In a typical county town, there might not be such a large open space for them to land.

However, the spaceship parking plaza in Falling Rosy Clouds City covers an area of nearly ten kilometers, which is more than enough to accommodate nine large spaceships.

Alright, everyone, you're free to do as you please.

Those who need to purchase supplies should do so as soon as possible. Duoduo will take care of the issue of second-grade Spirit Stone fuel.

I'll just stay here and wait for you. After all, the Ma Lineage's bounty is a troublesome matter, and it's better for me to stay here just in case.

We must leave Falling Rosy Clouds City before dark. Hurry up and don't stay out too late.

Chen Mu arranged for the Yin Lineage family to go out and purchase supplies. It was now around 11 a. m., and there were still about four hours before dark, which was basically enough time for the Yin Lineage to purchase supplies.

He himself remained on the spaceship to ensure the safety of the nine ships.
