As the Goblin leader led the crowd to build defenses, a piercing alarm sounded from the watchtower of Gloomy City. The Dark Watchtower had a monitoring radius of five hundred meters. As long as it sensed the invasion of an external aura, it would issue an alarm to alert the defenders.
Less than ten minutes later, the Human Clan troops arrived.
Scarface observed that the total number of Human Clan troops was only three or four hundred. Although there were many units that seemed formidable, it shouldn't have led to the complete annihilation of Bloodthroat's army.
There were two possibilities.
The first was that the Human Clan did not use their full strength. The second was that although Bloodthroat was defeated, he also caused heavy damage to the territory.
Scarface was inclined to believe the latter; after all, it had come to this critical point, and there was no reason for the enemy to hide anything and launch a siege with such a numerically disadvantaged force.
The Miracle City army did not attack immediately.
"Hey, listen up, Dark Goblins of Gloomy City! Your master has been slain by us!"
"Don't stubbornly resist. Open the city and surrender quickly. If the Lord is happy, he might even leave you a way to live!"
It seemed Bloodthroat was indeed dead.
Scarface felt both terrified and pleasantly surprised. Although the Human Clan troops were stronger than Gloomy City, they had the advantage of terrain, which could completely compensate for the strength gap. Therefore, as long as they gritted their teeth and persisted for five days, Thunder City would definitely send troops to rescue them!
Survive this calamity, and he could turn his fortunes around!
Scarface then sneered, "Humans, no need to make a show of strength; it will only make you look weak... If you have the ability, just attack the city!"
As soon as he said this, the Adventurers were furious.
"What an ignorant fool!"
"Do you really think we can't break this dilapidated city?"
"No need for more words. If you don't accept a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit. Just charge regardless of this or that!"
However, the Adventurers did not rashly advance immediately. While continuing to curse and verbally spar, they transported stones to prepare.
At this time, ten Tank Zombies stepped forward. Relying on their powerful strength and talent for throwing, they bombarded the walls of Gloomy City with enormous stones, like cannonballs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They didn't hit!
An invisible barrier covered Gloomy City. All the stones thrown by the Tank Zombies struck a few feet from the city wall, impacting an invisible barrier and instantly turning to powder amidst a huge roar, unable to cause any damage to Gloomy City.
"Such powerful monsters!" The strength displayed by the Tank Zombies made Scarface look serious. These muscular giants were probably equivalent to peak first-tier, and having ten of them was truly daunting!
However, that was all. They couldn't break the Gloomy City barrier in a short time.
"Damn it!"
"I didn't expect it to be so tough!"
"We have ten humanoid catapults and still can't break it!"
"Hmph, if it's not enough, then increase the intensity. I want to see how long it can last!"
"Let's go together!"
Ten Tanks continued to throw huge stones. Three to four hundred Miracle City combat units, led by a row of Chargers, finally launched a full-scale assault on Gloomy City.
"Fire arrows!"
"Stop them!"
Scarface immediately commanded the defense personally. The giant stone attacks from the ten humanoid catapults were quite powerful. This was already enough to burden the Gloomy City barrier. If it were also impacted by hundreds of combat units, the barrier would soon be damaged.
In an instant, the war fully erupted.
A wave of arrows rained down like flying locusts, followed closely by various poisoned javelins and throwing spears. The Miracle City troops felt strong resistance but pressed on bravely.
Scarface found that the vitality of even the smaller soldiers in some Human Clans was unusually tenacious. They not only wore excellent defensive armor, but some were even pierced by several arrows and throwing spears yet still maintained their combat effectiveness.
"How can they be so tenacious!"
"Could they be Undead-type monsters?"
With the cooperation of the front and rear units of Miracle City, they quickly launched several rounds of attacks. The barrier's energy was rapidly consumed. At this speed, it probably wouldn't last much longer.
The situation became increasingly critical!
Scarface couldn't think of a countermeasure at the moment. Suddenly, something he had never expected happened.
A commotion arose from within Gloomy City, mixed with the screams of Goblin soldiers.
"Boss Scarface, something is wrong!"
"Monsters from the Human Clan territory have appeared inside the city!"
"What?"
Scarface was greatly alarmed. The Gloomy City barrier was constantly being impacted from the outside, and the pressure it was under was already great, but it hadn't been breached yet. Why would the enemy appear inside?
He rushed to the scene in a panic. He saw a large hole near the Gloomy City warehouse that had appeared at some point. A giant scorpion, more than three meters long, was brandishing its claws and attacking the nearby Goblins.
Clearly, it was a tunnel!
Miracle City's mutated giant scorpion not only had impressive combat power but also possessed excellent digging ability. The Gloomy City barrier could not cover underground. While Scarface's attention was drawn to the outside, a force of surprise attackers had already infiltrated the city's interior.
An ordinary Anti-explosion Zombie sat on the giant scorpion. Scarface felt a powerful mental energy fluctuation from the other party. Ordinary Underground City monsters or Adventurers could never possess such terrifying mental energy, so this seemingly ordinary monster must be controlled by the Human Clan Lord.
"You are the Lord..."
Jack sat on the giant scorpion's broad back, holding an M16 Assault Rifle in each hand. Two ferocious-looking Flame Thrower Trackers stood on either side like guardian deities.
Scarface couldn't finish his sentence. Jack directly pulled the trigger. Both M16s fired simultaneously. A circle of Goblins around him were swept down. Scarface was also hit by several bullets and fell to the ground. Before he could struggle to escape the scene, he was suddenly stepped on by a large foot.
Looking up, he saw the Tracker's ugly large face.
At this moment, the Goblin leader realized how foolish his idea was. The Tracker released flames to engulf the Goblin leader, burning him to charcoal instantly, like killing an insect. He didn't even have a chance to resist or beg for mercy.
"Kill!"
Jack controlled the giant scorpion like driving an armored vehicle. The two M16s with unlimited ammunition swept back and forth, invincible. The two Trackers followed closely, continuously spewing fire.
Wherever they passed, Goblins wailed and fell or were engulfed by terrifying flames. Was this a battle? It was purely a massacre! It was a dimension-reduction strike!
Jack, with two Trackers, swept through like clearing a courtyard, dismantling the Goblin main force from the inside. During this process, several Witch Zombies also entered the city through the giant scorpion's tunnel to join the battle.
For a time, blood and gore flew everywhere, and limbs were scattered as the Goblins were killed!
Boom!
A loud noise echoed as the Gloomy City barrier was broken. Ten Tanks combined their strength and directly smashed open the city gate.
Hundreds of Miracle City combat units swarmed in. From then on, the battle had no suspense!
Violent Little Chicken transformed into a Tank and charged at the front. With his strong physique and big muscles, he was like a humanoid bulldozer, smashing through seven or eight Goblin stone houses in a row. Wherever he passed, the remaining soldiers were sent flying and scattered in disarray.
"This is so satisfying!"
"Leave the rest to the Adventurers."
Jack rode the giant scorpion with two Trackers, having killed his way in and out three times, wiping out over a hundred Dark Goblins!
This "Giant Scorpion Chariot" had powerful performance, with both good defense and speed. Coupled with the two M16s with unlimited ammunition in his hands, it formed terrifying firepower and was a great weapon of war on the battlefield!
Moreover, he still had two Trackers! Two second-tier monsters were also a dimensionality reduction strike on this kind of battlefield!
Under these circumstances, Miracle City not only broke the city with overwhelming force but also annihilated all of the Goblins' effective forces in a very short time, so much so that these Dark Kind didn't even have time to make a desperate move.
Jack gave the order to kill all Dark Kind. As for the servants enslaved by Gloomy City? Rescue them all and protect them. They are also important spoils of war!
After thoroughly enjoying the thrill of killing, Jack came to the main hall of Gloomy City, found the core divine stone of this city, and prepared to complete the final step of occupying the city.
**[You are refining the "Gloomy City Core Divine Stone." This refining requires 1000 mental energy. Do you wish to continue?]**
Main city-level divine stones are more valuable and harder to refine. However, although the consumption was large, Jack didn't care. To avoid complications, he immediately began refining.
**[You have refined the Gloomy City core!]**
**[You have activated the first-tier main city "Gloomy City." Chaos Treasure Chest (White) +1!]**
Done! Finally, he could completely relax.
Jack had successfully opened up the first main city for his territory outside the core main city. From now on, Gloomy City would become Jack's territory's first-tier main city!
Each tier of a Lord can only establish one main city. In this process, the territory size and scope of rule are continuously expanded.
Jack began to collect spoils of war and enjoy the fruits of victory. He first opened the Chaos Treasure Chest.
**[You opened the Chaos Treasure Chest: soul crystal +3000, "Skill Secret Crystal: Town Portal" +1, "Blueprint: Energy Absorption Tower" +1!]**
