Infinite Ebullience-Chapter 1570 - 32: Occupation
Adult Aboriginal warriors heard the warning alarm, rushed out of the stone houses, led the war horses out of the stables, and jumped onto them. But after a frantic gallop to the main entrance of the camp, they all came to a sudden halt. πππππ¬πππ·ππΏππ‘.ππΈπ
The first to rush out were the patrolling tribesmen, who by now had all been turned into broken flesh, dyeing the gravel a shocking crimson. However, even more terrifying were those huge steel mech suits, which, like monsters, were spewing a barrage of metal bullets, tearing down the wall in the blink of an eye.
Whiz, whiz, bombs fell with a shrill whistle, splashing soil everywhere, while bullets also flew in. The Aboriginals could resist, but the war horses beneath them could not, being hit until they were a blur of blood and flesh, wailing ceaselessly.
"Fall back, regroup in front of the chieftainβs stone house," shouted a British man in his forties, waving his armature to make the Aboriginals retreat and regroup.
"John, we canβt retreat, the enemy are the Conquerors, we must also go up, in one fell swoop, use the tactic of human wave attacks to flatten them." The young Jordan grabbed Johnβs armature, looking tense, "If we canβt stop them, the group leader will kill us."
"But if too many Aboriginals die, the group leader wonβt spare us either." Kelly regretted it to death, she would have known better than to stay and guard the campsite and had gone hunting Aboriginals instead. Just by looking at the attack power they unleashed, they were at least of Level 2 Hero standard.
"Either we die in battle, or we win, if we run, the group leader will chase us to the ends of the earth and kill us." John shook off Jordanβs arm, "Go call the wizard."
"You want to bestow the Aboriginal warriors with Bloodlust? No, theyβre going to die," Kelly shook her head in opposition, "Letβs retreat, leave the Aboriginals to them, and then wait for the group leader to come back, he can surely kill them and retake the camp, then not so many Aboriginals need to die."
"FU~CK, donβt you know the more Aboriginals the Conquerors kill and possess, the higher their abilities will unlock?" John slapped Kelly across the cheek, this woman relied on being the group leaderβs lover, and even dared to defy the words of the third in command of the team.
"It looks like the other side has only one person who unlocked an ability, if we give them the Aboriginals, their strength will inevitably improve." Jordan was relieved to know John wasnβt looking to flee.
"Donβt worry, since their area attack is so strong, their single-target attack must be lacking," John reassured them both, "Their goal is also the Aboriginals, so letβs lure them in. In order not to accidentally hurt the slaves, they definitely wonβt dare to use their ultimate abilities, weβll clean them up then!"
"Letβs hope nothing unexpected happens!" The fact that the Kirov Airship in the sky hadnβt bombed the campsite was the best proof, and Kelly was somewhat reassured.
"Jordan, release your puppets, try to buy time, drain that guyβs life energy." John leaped off the rooftop to gather the troops.
Jordanβs puppets were mechanical beasts, and as he released his ability, a six-meter-tall steel mechanical from his wristwatch burst forth, striding towards the mech suit while its arm cannon roared and missiles were fired in anger.
Openings appeared on the back of the mechanical beast, and every few steps it took, small discs buzzed out like flies, landing on the ground, sprouting two claws, and burrowing into the soil to set up a landmine array.
Tang Zheng stood amidst the corpses, looking at the gathering point, swinging the bone knife in his right hand forward.
The Kirovs all turned around, their bullet nests opened, and heavy bombs fell like dumplings, crashing outside the camp, shaking the earth, with shock waves scattering the soil, causing rain of soil to fall.
The mechanical beast hadnβt even reached Tang Zheng when it was vaporized by the Orbital Cannon, with not even slag remaining.
"Brother Tang, be careful, there are Conquerors." Bai Guo ran over, ready to fight shoulder to shoulder with Tang Zheng, "Donβt worry about me, ever since I killed the first Aboriginal, Iβve been able to use invisibility."
"Iβm going to make a strong attack, you hide and wait for a chance to ambush." As Tang Zheng gave the order, the Kirov Airship flew overhead of the gathering spot, air-dropping bombs.
"Letβs lure the snake out of the hole, itβs too dangerous to attack, we donβt even know how many Conquerors there are on the other side." Bai Guo pleaded, not wanting to see anything happen to Tang Zheng, "Thatβs their turf, there must be ambushes!"
"Learned to think, huh? Donβt worry, if there were many of them, they would have come out to beat us up long ago," Tang Zheng teased the Natural Stupid, his instruction for the Kirov to bomb and wash the ground was to eliminate the opponentβs terrain advantage.
"This bastard, so cunning!" Johnβs nose was almost crooked with anger.
"This guy wants to annihilate us, letβs hurry and retreat, go find the group leader, the Aboriginals have run away anyway." Kelly felt the heat wave coming towards her, her legs went soft in fright, she was only a third-order, and she was not brave enough to face this kind of scene.
"No one is allowed to run, otherwise Iβll kill him!" Aboriginals ran past John, who was wielding a Vampire Curved knife and chopped them down, but this still couldnβt stop the collapse, infuriating him to curse, "Didnβt you see the Kirovβs advance is very slow? That Chinese youth is doing it on purpose, making the Aboriginals flee so that we canβt set an ambush."
"Stay close to me, if you get left behind and die, I wonβt care." Tang Zheng held Bai Guo and jumped onto a mech suit to block the back door of the camp.
Facing the tactic of encirclement with a missing piece, Tang Zheng had seen it before, by the time he rushed over, three disheveled Conquerors were already waiting there.
"Not planning to run?" Tang Zheng posed in a mocking manner, but was actually fishing for information.
"Killing you before leaving isnβt late," behind John was a hundred soldiers, alongside was an old man with colorful feathers on his head, holding a magic wand.
Because of the lack of food, the tribe lets old people leave and fend for themselves. The man in front of them not only had rosy skin but also wore a complete set of animal skin and had teeth decorations, showing he had a high status.
"Definitely trouble, kill him first!" At the thought of Tang Zheng, the Orbital Cannon fired a blast of hot plasma, scattering the soil and breaking apart the formation of the three men.
"Cast the Berserk spell quickly!" John bellowed, grabbing the old man to dodge beside him, "Jordan, Kelly, come over here."
"Itβs too late." Tang Zheng teleported, appearing behind John amidst the soil and gun smoke, his Tang Sword chopping towards the back of his head.
A White Dwarf Star appeared overhead, and the Gravity Abyss descended. If John hadnβt activated his ability in time, he would have knelt straight to the ground.
Morphing into armor, the Soldier coated Tang Zheng, with the Female Gunner appearing at his side, conducting firepower suppression. Each bullet disturbed Johnβs evasive maneuvers.
John underwent beastification, growing a tail, which he fiercely lashed at Tang Zheng, while his claws swiped at Tangβs head.
Bang, bang, bullets hit John, all deflected, but they distorted his movements.
"Even if youβre a Second-order Hero, youβre going to die today!" Tang Zhengβs strike missed, and he casually flicked his Wrist, the Tang Sword drawing a dazzling arc, standing on the Wizardβs neck.
The Wizardβs hands were already glowing with a dark red Light, but before he could throw it, he was assassinated, the natural power he was brewing exploded, vaporizing him, leaving no corpse or bones behind.
The Instantaneous Cloak was unlocked, but Undamaged Lake Light was still unusable, otherwise Tang Zheng could definitely send John to the afterlife within thirty seconds.
Tang Zheng changed strategies, teleportation Cooldown completed, appearing beside the panic-stricken Kelly. This woman, seeing her enemy suppressing John, turned tail and ran.
"Beauty, where are you going?" Tang Zheng grabbed Kellyβs hair, the Tang Sword slashing fiercely.
"Donβt kill me!" Kelly screamed, then was hit by the back of the sword on her lower jaw, falling unconscious. If this woman had kept her cool, Tang Zheng definitely wouldnβt have gone after her first, her face full of fear, making anyone realize she was a shrimp ready to be pressed.
"Charge!" John shouted a command but fled in the opposite direction himself.
"Fuck!" With one step, Jordan realized he had been used as Bait, and immediately abandoned the fight to escape, but after dashing a few steps, he saw the young man blocking his path.
With Tang Zhengβs current strength, a First-order Hero Conqueror was no longer qualified to be his opponent. In just ten seconds, he was pierced through the Heart.
Had Jordan been Strong, he wouldnβt have been left to guard the Battalion by the Group Leader.
John didnβt escape, as Bai Guo suddenly emerged from his shadow, stabbing with a dagger. Although she didnβt injure him, she successfully delayed him.
"Get lost!" John kicked Bai Guo in the chest, only to see Jordan killed, his heart shook, "So fast!"
John knew he couldnβt outrun Tang Zheng and immediately changed Tactics, aiming to capture Bai Guo as a hostage. Within one engagement, he could tell this seemingly mature and busty woman was merely Third-order, doomed to be overwhelmed.
"Fall back!"
Hearing Tang Zhengβs roar, Bai Guo instinctively retreated, avoiding Johnβs claws. Just when he wanted to strike again, Tang Zheng was already blocking the front.
"Pity, you wasted your only chance. Now, just wait obediently for death!" Tang Zheng taunted John, hoping to provoke a mistake.
John was desperate, but helpless. Both of these people had common abilities, not worth fearing.
"Bai Guo, take that Strong woman to persuade them to surrender."
There were many women and children, so it was impossible for them to escape instantly. Adult Soldiers stayed two hundred meters away, protecting them while also watching Johnβs combat, feeling little affection for this new Chieftainβs subordinate.
"Tell them, following Tang Zheng will give them a good life!" Bai Guo urged the woman to call out, looking at the Aboriginals, she grew excited, wanting to keep them all.
The woman babbled on, but no one cared until they saw Tang Zheng kill John, then they showed startled expressions.
That John was strong, but the newcomer was even stronger!
"Hurry up and shout!" Bai Guo was anxious, with Fang Zhiwen also persuading beside her, to no avail.
"Idiot, what are you talking about welfare to the primitives for? Do they understand?" Tang Zheng poked the woman with the handle of the knife, and gestured, "For each person left, youβll get a personβs weight in meat!"
The Strong womanβs eyes lit up, her voice growing louder, quickly persuading the natives, until some were swayed. After all, their homeland had been occupied by Tang Zheng. They wanted vengeance, but the power of their opponent left them no means to do so.
In the end, seventy people stayed, including more than twenty adult Soldiers, all womenβs tribemates, with the rest being women and children, spoils of war granted by the chief.
"Seems my charisma isnβt up to par!" Tang Zheng shook his head, then his demeanor suddenly shifted, "Catch them. From now on, they are your Slaves!" (To be continued...
