Chapter 13 – Attacking the Giant Stone City
Translator: Xaiomoge
Before Ryuk could make up his mind – should he battle or flee, the 400 human-shaped bladed robots rushed into the midst of the soldiers of the Giant-Stone City, brandished their alloy battle blades alike 400 human-shaped meat grinders, and raised a storm of flesh and blood amidst the soldiers of the Giant Stone City.
“Drop dead, bastard!” An advanced Warrior skilled in martial arts bellowed hatefully and slashed at the shoulder of a bladed-robot with his sword.
Ding! The sword merely left a shallow cut on the shoulder of the bladed robot.
“No!!” The eyes of the advanced Warrior flashed with despair, and he issued a heart-wrenching howl.
In the next moment, the bladed robot slashed at the advanced Warrior and splitting him in two, and blood sprayed onto the bladed robot.
After killing the advanced Warrior, the bladed robot mechanically stepped over the body of the advanced Warrior and continued to kill the soldiers of the Giant Stone City, emotionless.
Silent, unfeeling, fearless, and mechanical, this was the fighting style of mechanical soldiers. An army composed of such mechanical soldiers was what people with authority wished for the most. They would never disobey, their morale would never decline, and, even if they fought until the last one, they would never retreat. But a human army, even the most elite army, would collapse once casualties mounted to 30%.
The battle didn’t take long. The 2000 elite warriors of the Giant Stone City suffered disastrous casualties and, alike an avalanche, scattered in all directions.
“Let’s go!” Ryuk clenched his teeth, turned around, and took his trusted troops to flee towards the Giant Stone City.
<Drop your weapons and kneel on the ground, and you’ll be spared!>
<Drop your weapons and kneel on the ground, and you’ll be spared!>
<...>
When he saw that the troops of the Giant Stone City collapsed, Yang Feng gave the order, and the 400 bladed robots shouted with their ice-cold, metallic voices.
As if they received a divine decree, the remnant soldiers of the Giant Stone City dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered to Yang Feng.
“That was easy! After all, flesh and blood can’t match up to steel. But it’s a pity that I din’t got to experience the means of the Apprentice Warlocks.”
Yang Feng trod across the battlefield littered with flesh and blood, and, with creased eyebrows, watched the captives kneeling on the ground. Then, he relaxed his eyebrows.
Compared to the Earth, the Turandot Subcontinent was a very cruel place. Here, practically all states possessed a large number of slaves. If he lost, Yang Feng would fall into slavery and live miserably. From the moment he attacked the Black Rock Town, he could only forge ahead. Taking even a step back led to hell.
“Next, let me see what the Giant Stone City is capable of!” He arranged for 50 bladed robots to escort the over 1,000 captives to the Black Rock Town before quickly leading the over 3,000 battle robots towards the Giant Stone City.
After half an hour of marching at full speed, the huge city wall of the Giant Stone City appeared before him.
“So this is the Giant Stone City! The Black Rock Town really can’t compare to it.” The Giant Stone City was very majestic. Its city wall was 25 meters tall and made of large white rock, which was only second to steel rock. The 25-meter-tall city wall was so tall that it could prevent the majority of powerhouses and formidable life forms from jumping onto it.
Among Knights, only Sky Knight rank powerhouses could jump onto the 25-meter-tall city wall.
Because the movement speed of Yang Feng’s troops was too fast, his mechanical legion reached the Giant Stone City before the routed troops did. Consequently, the Giant Stone City’s gate hadn’t been closed yet.
“Charge!” Eyes flashing with a cold glint, Yang Feng pointed towards the Giant Stone City and ordered.
400 bladed robots immediately unleashed their full speed and rushed towards the Giant Stone City at a frightening speed of 150 kilometers per hour.
“Who are you? Halt!” When the soldiers collecting the entrance tax in front of the gate saw the 400 bladed robots, an ominous premonition welled up inside them, and they shouted.
The bladed robots charged at the gate without paying attention to the shouts of the soldiers.
With flashes of blades, the soldiers in front of the gate were killed, and dropped to the ground.
“Enemy attack!!” 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
“There are enemies! Fuck! Who the hell are these people??”
“Prepare for battle!!”
“...”
A resonant alarm sounded inside the Giant Stone City, and an army stationed near the gate quickly emerged and charged at the bladed robots.
The bladed robots launched a counter charge and rushed at the army.
The two armies collided fiercely. In a flash, flesh and blood splashed about. The lives of the human army of the Giant Stone City were reaped like wheat by the bladed troops. The human army lasted less than a minute before it fell apart and scattered in every which way.
The heavy cavalry, the most powerful troop of the Giant Stone City, wasn’t a match for the bladed robots, the rest even more so couldn’t match this terrifying mechanical army.
After a few of their counter attacks were smashed, the guards of the Giant Stone City collapsed.
Yang Feng left 50 bladed robots behind to hold the gate, and then commanded the remaining 350 bladed robots to attack the city master’s mansion.
Once he seized the gate, the entire Giant Stone City fell into chaos.
All the enemies Yang Feng met along the way were killed by the 350 bladed robots. A lot of hooligans seized the opportunity to kill and pillage. So long as Yang Feng came across them, he would dispatch some bladed robots to kill them as well.
The city master’s mansion, an enormous castle twice as big as the Black Rock Town Castle, was located in middle of the Giant Stone City. It had a 15-meter-tall city wall, atop which stood the private troops of Viscount Harley.
There were no trees or buildings within 600 meters of the palace.
The 350 bladed robots had just rushed out of the streets, when six 7-meter-long crossbow bolts were shot from atop of the city wall of the Giant Stone Castle. Three of the giant crossbow bolts hit three bladed robots and slammed them to the ground, leaving them incapacitated.
Not in the least bit intimidated by the giant crossbows, the remaining bladed robots rushed expressionlessly at the Giant Stone Castle.
The bladed robots had just approached, when 200 archers appeared atop the city wall of the Giant Stone Castle.
A dense rain of arrows shot at the bladed robots from the sky.
The bladed robots brushed the arrows shooting at them aside, while the lucky arrows that managed to hit them were ricocheted from their bodies. Only the two arrows shot by two Knight rank archers, who erupted with their frightening life force, managed to pierce into the ‘hearts’ of two bladed robots. However, the vital point of the bladed robots wasn’t located there. The two bladed robots with arrows stuck in their ‘hearts’ expressionlessly arrived at the bottom of the city wall of the Giant Stone Castle.
