Chapter 289: Hidden platform, kill the overlord
Translator: 549690339
The alien Lord’s arm was broken by a large-caliber bullet, and blood kept flowing out.
If it wasn’t for the Cannonball’s impact on his reaction and defense, he wouldn’t have been hit so easily.
Moreover, the power of this large-caliber sniper rifle was truly terrifying!
At this moment, the non-human Lord’s heart was filled with anger, but more than that, he was filled with fear.
Although they were at the edge of the continent, they still had a certain understanding of this wild land that was tens of thousands of miles away.
Compared to the area he was in, this place was called the Wildlands, and it was indeed worthy of its name.
Due to the effects of the Frostmoon calamity, this area was not suitable for long-term development. Any race with influence on the continent would not waste their resources here.
It was for this reason that the Wildlands was far inferior to the other regions in terms of Resources and Development.
If The Two Towers of the same level were to fight normally, the tower in the Wildlands would have almost no power to fight back!
In the eyes of the cultivators outside the Wildlands, the cultivators of the Wildlands were no different from beggars.
It was also because of this reason that the foreign Overlord had accepted this siege mission from the cornerstone trading platform, leading his mercenary group to teleport to the wilderness continent!
The alien overlord receiving this kind of mission from the cornerstone trading platform was one of the pieces of information that Tang Zhen didn’t know about.
This was a type of mission option that would only appear on the cornerstone trading platform after Lou Cheng was upgraded to Level 5. It was called a continent mission by cultivators, and it usually had extremely generous points as a reward!
Any tower above level five could issue missions on the continent, and they could also form mercenary groups to receive missions.
The spoils of war, other than the mission items, would all belong to the mercenary group.
In many high-class buildings on the continent, there would be registered mercenary groups that specialized in this kind of mission. They were all very powerful!
The missions that the one-horned tribe’s mercenary group accepted were special missions that were automatically issued by the platform. They were called heavenly Dao missions!
From this, it could be seen how strong and confident the controller behind the cornerstone platform was. He would actually add the word “heavenly Dao” to the task that was issued by him!
This kind of heavenly Dao mission had always been one of the missions that mercenary groups in advanced Dungeons frantically pursued.
The reason for this was the high return!
When a heavenly Dao mission was accepted, a spatial vortex would appear and send the mercenary group directly to the mission location.
Only the cornerstone trading platform would have such a heaven-defying ability!
There were countless guesses as to who was in control of the cornerstone trading platform. However, after countless years, there was still no accurate answer.
Some said that it was the unbelievably powerful control of the city, some said that it was the control of a powerful alien race, but more people believed that it was the means of the gods!
There were different opinions, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false!
When he turned around to look at the Lord, his face was ashen.
The leader of the foreign tribes would never have dreamed that the mission that he had thought was not difficult would actually destroy the mercenary group that his family had spent so much effort to build!
This was the blood, sweat, and tears of his family. It was because of this mercenary group that his family was able to maintain nearly a hundred years of prosperity in the one-horned clan’s city.
However, after this battle, the entire mercenary group was completely destroyed. The foreign Lord could imagine the expression of his family elders when they heard this news.
If he were to return to the clan now, he would definitely be sent to the dungeon and then executed!
No, I can’t go back, or I’ll be dead!
After the non-human Overlord thought of this, he couldn’t help but speed up and run deeper into the wilderness.
After running for a full half an hour, the leader of the non-humans burrowed into a pile of rocks and found a hidden place to sit down, panting heavily.
The wound on his arm had been tied up by him, and the bleeding had stopped long ago. However, after losing a lot of blood, his breath had become weak.
After looking at his broken arm, a trace of hatred flashed across the face of the non-human Lord.
“Damn it, I didn’t think that there would be so many firearms in this human city. Did they find a few extremely rare wild buildings? otherwise, they can’t have so much ammunition!”
The non-human Lord was quite knowledgeable and knew that cannons needed cannonballs to fire.
However, while cannons were easy to find, ammunition was extremely rare, which was also one of the characteristics of the building.
There was a rule that when clearing out wild buildings, one would not be able to get a large pile of cannonballs after getting the cannon!
In the level 9 one-horned clan’s city, some cannons could be found in the wild buildings.
These cannons came in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Some of them were glowing cannons from giant steel warships. They could even kill King-tier monsters with a single strike. Their power was extremely terrifying!
However, these cannons all faced the same problem, which was the lack of shells.
They couldn’t be used in battle normally and could only be used as decorations or directly smelted into weapons!
This was also the reason why the Lord of the foreign race was so surprised when he saw the Holy Dragon city’s continuous bombardment.
If they had sufficient ammunition, the soldiers in the world of loucheng would have long taken down cities with their rifles and cannons. They would not have used cold weapons to fight!
The Holy Dragon City had many cannons and flintlocks, and it also had a tall city wall to rely on. It was no wonder that the surrounding monsters had all been killed, resulting in the lack of monsters to attack the city.
He had to accept this damn mission and then run into the muzzle of a gun!
The non-human Overlord wanted to cry but had no tears. He also hated Holy Dragon City to the core.
“After I recover, I will definitely sneak into Holy Dragon City and kill until blood flows like a river to relieve the hatred in my heart!”
The non-human Lord growled, his face full of killing intent.
“I’m sorry, but you won’t have the chance!”
A low voice sounded in the ears of the Lord of the foreign tribe, causing him to be scared out of his wits. He wanted to get up to check out the situation out of reflex, but he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
A purple short sword emerged from his chest and pierced through his mo weapon armor. Then, it twisted violently.
The Lord’s heart was instantly shattered. He opened and closed his mouth twice in a daze, his face full of unwillingness.
When he saw Tang Zhen appear out of thin air in front of him, he wanted to stretch out his hand to grab him. However, he no longer had the slightest strength.
With a heart full of loss and regret, the Lord fell heavily to the ground, dying in the wilderness that he regarded as a wild land.
Tang Zhen raised the purple lightning short sword and carefully cleaned it.
The purple lightning short sword could pierce through low-level demonic armors. This was an unexpected discovery that Tang Zhen had made during a test.
He now cherished this mysterious weapon that he had obtained by chance even more.
After storing the non-human Overlord’s corpse in the storage space, Tang Zhen quickly rushed back to the Holy Dragon City.
At this time, the battle at the city walls had ended. Ninety percent of the one-horned race’s soldiers had died in battle, while the rest had been captured by the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers.
These captives were tied up with a special metal rope of the glittergold race. At this time, under the custody of the Holy Dragon City soldiers, they were all squatting on the ground.
After seeing Tang Zhen return, the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers continuously saluted him.
Tang Zhen walked in front of the one-horned race’s captives and threw out the one-horned race’s Overlord’s corpse.
“Bang!”
When the corpse fell to the ground, it stirred up a cloud of dust, making it look even more miserable.
The one-horned soldiers looked at the corpses on the ground, and the pained expressions on their faces became more and more intense. A sense of sorrow spread among the captives.
In a corner, the Holy Masters who were covered in blood were dumbfounded.
They were different from the one-horned Warriors. The Holy Masters were more concerned about the techniques that Tang Zhen had just displayed!
Heavens, this human city Lord could actually take things out of thin air!
Did he possess some kind of extremely rare Holy master skill, or did he possess some kind of spatial magic equipment?
No matter which point it was, it showed that this human city Lord was not simple!
The grade-5 Holy master’s eyes were shining and his face was filled with excitement.
If it wasn’t for the fact that a gun was pointed at his head at this moment, he would most likely pounce in front of Tang Zhen and obtain information regarding this matter at all costs.
Tang Zhen also noticed the Holy Masters ‘expressions and a smile appeared on his face.
This group of people was indeed tempted. In the next interrogation, he hoped to get some information that would interest him!
