Chapter 307: Boom
🕑 Added 2024-09-20 05:37:40 +0000 UTCWhen Lin Qian mentioned this, Yuan Xiang suddenly recalled something and looked at Lin Qian with astonishment. "You mean…"
"Leaving a Gale Force soldier behind was a precaution for any possible scenario, and now it's the perfect time to use it." As Lin Qian finished speaking, far away near the two cities built by the alien tribes, the ground suddenly broke open, and a Gale Force soldier emerged.
Having been lying in wait for a while, the Gale Force soldier immediately moved to the city wall, waiting quietly.
Suddenly, the metal discs attached to the four corners of the wall began to emit a powerful soul force, disrupting the formation that covered the city.
The formation barrier rippled violently, and at that moment, the prepared Gale Force soldier dashed forward, slipping through the barrier in an instant.
At this time, both City One and City Two were completely deserted, with every member of the Wuxing and Xunyin Tribes having already withdrawn, including the soul beasts they controlled and bred. Not a single entity was left behind.
After all, they believed the enemy was at Gatekeeper City, and there was no way any threat could appear behind them. Leaving behind unguarded, empty cities didn't seem like a problem.
Besides, with the formation in place, no one could enter even if there were an enemy.
Life in this small world had been quite dull, and with an enemy finally appearing, every member of the Xunyin and Wuxing Tribes was eager to join the action.
It was clear they didn't consider Lin Qian to be a serious enemy, more like a source of entertainment.
Once inside the empty city, the Gale Force soldier quickly moved through it, finding his way to the formation’s core.
The core of the formation was equally deserted, as the formation masters of both tribes had also gone with the army to Gatekeeper City, eager to escape the boredom of their posts.
Seeing the chance to get out, how could they resist?
Inside the undefended formation cores of City One and City Two, the Gale Force soldier took out another metal disc and threw it into the heart of the formation.
Immediately, soul power surged from the disc, spreading through the formation’s patterns and flowing throughout the entire city’s defenses. This power merged with the previously implanted energy, allowing for the entire formation to be altered and controlled.
In a matter of moments, the defensive formations of City One and City Two now belonged to Lin Qian, and both cities were completely under his control.
Meanwhile, the two alien leaders across from him continued to chat and joke, discussing how to torment their captive after the battle without endangering his life before handing him over to their young masters.
But just as their conversation reached a peak, both of them suddenly felt something was wrong. They hurriedly pulled out two tokens from their robes.
When they looked at the tokens, they were horrified to see that the previously shiny tokens were now corroded with rust and were crumbling into pieces.
Seeing the tokens disintegrate, they exchanged glances, both with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
The tokens were connected to their city’s formations, and their current state could only mean one thing—the formations had been broken.
And if the formations were broken, there was only one possibility...
Their cities had been taken over!
Neither of them could understand how their strongholds, City One and City Two, could have fallen without any apparent cause.
Suddenly realizing the situation, they both looked up at the walls of Gatekeeper City.
As they did, they met Lin Qian's gaze, who was looking at them with an expression that seemed to say, "You fools."
From Lin Qian's expression, they could infer that the fall of their cities was his doing.
To silently take over their cities' defenses without anyone noticing—such a method was unheard of.
At that moment, they both put away their previous contempt and regarded the human on the walls of Gatekeeper City with serious expressions. They couldn’t help but wonder if the fall of Gatekeeper City had happened in the same mysterious manner.
"It seems that after losing City One and City Two to you, they’ve started taking you seriously," Yuan Xiang observed the two alien leaders' expressions and turned to Lin Qian. "Wouldn’t it be easier to defeat them if they remained complacent?"
"There's no need for that. In fact, I prefer if they face the Huaxia Empire at their best," Lin Qian replied, leaving Yuan Xiang stunned, unable to comprehend his reasoning.
Yuan Xiang didn’t know what Lin Qian had planned, but in reality, Lin Qian had made this decision after carefully considering and consulting Zhuge Ming.
When Lin Qian and the Huaxia Empire arrived in this world, some changes occurred.
For example, the power used by the Huaxia Empire had also transformed into soul power.
Real combat experience had become a crucial factor. The internal drills of the Huaxia Empire didn't provide sufficient reference.
Only by engaging in real combat with external forces could the Huaxia Empire's military strength be accurately assessed, and its standing compared to the outside world.
To properly evaluate the empire's current combat power, Lin Qian needed his enemies to be at their best. Otherwise, how could he measure the true strength of the Huaxia Empire?
The lackadaisical attitude of the Xunyin and Wuxing Tribe leaders was far from satisfactory for Lin Qian. He was confident and proud, believing the Huaxia Empire could not lose, but he took this war very seriously.
But their casual demeanor infuriated him!
Now, while the two leaders had adjusted their attitudes, the relaxed expressions of their soldiers, who looked like they were on a leisurely outing rather than a battlefield, made Lin Qian furious.
I see you as an opponent, and you think I’m here to entertain you?
"Fire a soul cannon volley, give them a gift," Lin Qian ordered, deciding it was time to make the enemy understand what real war was.
With such a carefree mindset, how could they possibly fight effectively?
With Lin Qian's command, a deep rumbling sound echoed from the wall facing the alien army. A dark hole appeared in the wall, revealing a massive cannon barrel.
The formation power surrounding Gatekeeper City gathered wildly, and the cannon’s muzzle began to glow with a fiery red light.
As the alien soldiers curiously looked up at the cannon barrels, Lin Qian made a frame with his fingers, aiming at the enemy army with one eye closed.
"Boom!"
