Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City-Chapter 545 - 544: The First Base

This is indeed a problem, but Lin Hao has no other choice.

Now the population of Earth is sparse, what they lack is people, so using ammunition to reduce casualties is Lin Hao’s decision. That’s why he just bombarded Lin City with artillery fire.

Artillery fire represents justice! And so it does at this moment.

After stopping, the ruins of Lin City only echoed with the sounds of flames burning and scorched earth collapsing. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Advance! Spare no enemy!" Lin Hao did not answer Zhou Pangzi’s question, he waved his hand and took the lead, marching the army towards Lin City.

After the high-tech artillery baptism, few people in Lin City were still alive, and those that were, were merely disabled and defeated soldiers, severely wounded.

For these people, no mercy was shown, just a knife to end their lives.

Lin Hao had already said, no prisoners.

As for the rest, they were all shattered corpses, limbs and severed arms scattered everywhere, Gu Country’s army was completely destroyed by a round of artillery fire.

Next, cleaning the battlefield and inspecting the entire city kept Lin Hao quite busy.

Fortunately, with the capable Lin Guodong around, the battlefield was quickly cataloged.

The City Lord Mansion had long been reduced to ruins, Lin Hao stood in front of its gate, at a plaza full of shell craters, listening to Lin Guodong’s report.

Firstly, Tito Hans has escaped, along with part of Gu Country’s army.

Secondly, there were a lot of wounded Gu Country soldiers in the city, and some ethnic groups who originally lived in Lin City, in such special times, adhering to the notion "those who are not our kin, are sure to have different minds," Lin Guodong had all these injured people, or those who had luckily survived the bombardment, killed.

To explain in Lin Guodong’s words, it is to help the ethnic groups of Earth’s people, who in the fall of Lin City either died or were captured by Gu Country as slaves.

The remaining people, were nothing but fair-weather friends.

Both Lin Guodong and Lin Hao detest these fair-weather friends.

Killed, and so they were killed, Lin Hao said nothing.

However, the finances in the treasury of Lin City were still intact, not yet transported away.

These included Primordial Stones, weapons armor, and some reserve materials.

"Sect Hierarch, if we want to develop, we have to take it slow. Establishing a base, that is, a new city, attracting talents, namely Earthlings from the Upper Realm Plane, collecting materials and ores, all these need to be urgently scheduled. Otherwise, once Gu Country reacts and allies with other empires, we Earthlings will be in great danger."

Lin Guodong already knew about the events that had taken place in Earth’s home plane and also knew that everyone was aware of the situation in the Upper Realm Plane.

Earthlings had become the public enemy of the whole Plane, and some places had even set bounties, offering money per head to buy Earthlings as slaves.

Now, this place might already be the last hope, the last gathering place for Earthlings.

Lin Hao of course knew that all of this could not be turned around by individual strength alone.

Everyone benefits, that is the real benefit!

"I am very clear on this point," Lin Hao’s gaze swept over the city ruins, a cruel smile appearing on his lips: "Now, why not build a city right on top of the ruins of Lin City? And then, from this base, we strike out and rescue all Earthlings."

"Yes!" Lin Guodong was very excited, after all, having just experienced despair, he now saw hope, the hope for all Earthlings!

Suddenly, just after Lin Hao arranged the work, a sentinel ran over.

"Report! Sixty miles away, a Gu Country army has been spotted, including numerous experts from the Military Affairs Hall!" The scout, previously dispatched, had not expected the Gu Country army and Military Affairs Hall experts to arrive so quickly.

Sixty li?

Lin Hao laughed.

"Perfect timing. Our first target, then, is to annihilate Gu Country. Those who follow me, thrive; those who defy me, vanish! I will establish the first Earthling Empire in the Upper Realm Plane!"

Lin Hao roared and raised his arm; instantly, everyone turned to look this way.

Silence, followed by a brief pause, and then the crowd suddenly erupted into thunderous cheers: "Long live! Long live!"

An Empire, on the Upper Realm Plane—no Earthling had ever established an empire before. The Earthlings in the Upper Realm Plane had always been oppressed. Not to mention an empire, not even a dynasty had been established!

Now, if they could establish a nation, it would mean they had a domain, land, mines!

Having mines at home, cultivating wouldn’t be a concern!

Once an empire is truly established, it would mean the Earthlings are truly ready to soar.

Moreover, this would be an empire with three Emperor Level powerhouses and another being above the Great Emperor whose cultivation level is unknown!

In the Upper Realm Plane, at the very least among the Emperor Level beings, this must be a powerful nation!

Lin Hao greatly enjoyed the adulation and cheering from the crowd; only after everyone had vented did he wave his hand to signal for silence.

"Since the Gu Country’s army has come, as the host and as a new empire, we must greet them. Prepare the chariots! We charge out!"

These chariots were all heavily modified super chariots, covered in Rune Arrays which greatly enhanced their power, matching the battle strength of any Exotic Beast Cavalry in the Upper Realm Plane.

With a long howl, more than two hundred heavily armored chariots and tanks turned around and headed out of the city.

However, just as they had left the city, sentinels came to report that the Gu Country’s army was retreating rapidly and had already withdrawn a hundred li.

Retreated?

The Gu Country’s army came quickly and left just as swiftly.

Lin Hao stopped, showing no desire to pursue.

Now, the top priority was to establish their base. To not mention anything else, the ammunition needed restocking; everything had to start from scratch.

"Lucky they run fast!" Standing on an armored car, Lin Hao sneered repeatedly.

At that moment, several cultivators dragged over a man from Gu Country covered in dirt, whose cultivation had been crippled.

The cultivators were very excited; they threw the Gu Country man to the ground and respectfully said to Lin Hao: "Sect Hierarch, we dug out a Deputy General of Gu Country from the ruins!"

A Deputy General of Gu Country?

Lin Hao was regretting the retreat of the Gu Country’s army and upon seeing this terrified Deputy General sprawling on the ground, his eyes lit up. He coldly asked, "Who are you?"

"I... I am the Deputy General to General Tito Hans of the Gu Country... I... I..."

Lin Guodong recognized this person and turned to Lin Hao: "This is Tito Hans’ brother-in-law, Ulu Lari, a minority member among the Gu Country’s Half-beasts."

Lin Hao nodded and, looking at Ulu Lari, smiled: "Don’t be afraid, I won’t kill you. I’ll send you back. Tell your Gu Emperor to wash his neck clean and wait, for I, Lin Hao, will personally take his head."

Ulu Lari was already paralyzed with fear, continually kowtowing.

Lin Hao sneered and then waved to someone nearby: "Cut off this man’s ears and nose, then send him back."
