More than thirty self-destruct Fenglongs roared toward the Angel Empire’s forces.
The deafening explosions continued as the self-destruct Fenglongs wreaked havoc, sending Angel Empire’s troops into chaos.
The Angel Empire was completely engulfed in a storm of relentless explosions.
Under the threat of the self-destruct Fenglongs, many players from Angel Empire desperately tried to break through the encirclement, but were slaughtered by the flying mounts of Niuren Tribe.
The self-destruct Fenglongs showed no sign of stopping their attacks. The entire Angel Empire was in a state of panic. Although they were loyal to Angel Empire and their flying mounts were provided by the guild, in this moment of crisis, they had no choice but to think for themselves and fled in all directions. They were caught in a dilemma; if they gathered together, they would become targets for the Fenglongs, but if they scattered, they would be picked off one by one by Niuren Tribe. Either way, they were doomed. Almost none managed to escape the encirclement by Niuren Tribe, exactly as Nieyan had said: no one left behind! Even seventh-tier flying mounts were no exception if struck by a self-destruct Fenglong.
After five consecutive waves of self-destruct attacks, two hundred Fenglongs had detonated. After the dense explosions, Angel Empire’s aerial forces were scattered and nearly annihilated. Most of the remaining were severely injured and were gradually eliminated by Niuren Tribe’s flying forces. Only slightly more than three thousand flying mounts remained, protected by five goblin airships, desperately trying to break through the encirclement.
Angel Empire was finally at its last gasp. Once those five goblin airships were destroyed, Angel Empire would be completely wiped out.
Approximately twenty thousand troops from Niuren Tribe surrounded them, but hesitated to close in due to the goblin airships. Some forces tried to encircle them but suffered losses of two to three thousand troops under the fierce firepower of the five goblin airships and immediately retreated.
More than fifty sixth-tier flying mounts protected five self-destruct Fenglongs as they charged toward the goblin airships.
As the Fenglongs approached within two or three hundred yards of the goblin airships, Angel Empire noticed them. The five airships immediately concentrated their fire, roaring as more than twenty goblin arcane cannons spewed flames, engulfing the Fenglongs in fire and causing the black powder they carried to explode.
All five self-destruct Fenglongs were destroyed.
“Boss Nieyan, their firepower is too intense; the Fenglongs can’t get close!” Knight’s Elegy reported.
“Send ten more self-destruct Fenglongs and continue attacking their aerial forces. Eliminate the remaining three thousand flying mounts of Angel Empire!” Nieyan commanded decisively.
Another ten self-destruct Fenglongs were dispatched, flanking Angel Empire’s forces from behind.
The five goblin airships couldn’t possibly protect all three thousand flying mounts, and the Fenglongs would eventually find an opportunity.
Angel Empire’s players learned from experience; upon seeing the Fenglongs approach, they immediately scattered to minimize casualties.
“What exactly are those things? Their power is just too overwhelming!” a frustrated Angel Empire player cursed.
“I heard from a friend that these are called self-destruct Fenglongs, each carrying five kilograms of black powder.”
Five kilograms of black powder? Everyone involuntarily gasped. Black powder was extremely rare, with one kilogram fetching as much as thirty thousand gold coins on the market. Usually, only some guilds would purchase it. Five kilograms of black powder amounted to more than one hundred thousand gold coins. Earlier, at least two hundred flying mounts were destroyed, costing millions of gold coins, not to mention the production costs of the Fenglongs themselves. Was this a war or just burning money?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Another ten explosions.
“Will it ever end? How many self-destruct Fenglongs do they even have?” the player complained, nearly driven insane by the constant attacks. Upon spotting the Fenglongs, their heart involuntarily trembled. These things were just too terrifying.
“Niuren Tribe probably doesn’t have many self-destruct Fenglongs left; their attacks aren’t as intense as before. It seems like they’re running low.”
“You underestimate Crazy Thief Nieyan too much. We still have five goblin airships on our side. Other than the Fenglongs, they have nothing to counter the airships. Do you think they would use up all their Fenglongs? They must be saving some to deal with the airships. Once those airships are destroyed, we’re finished!” a mage interjected.
Upon hearing the mage’s words, everyone’s faces turned pale. If Niuren Tribe still had over a hundred self-destruct Fenglongs, they were doomed.
The ten self-destruct Fenglongs eliminated nearly a thousand flying mounts from Angel Empire.
Seeing this, Angelic Wings felt his heart bleeding. He had invested countless efforts into building this aerial force. Angel Empire had dispatched nearly a hundred thousand troops continuously hunting for flying mounts in the griffin groves to amass such a formidable aerial force. Yet today, it was all destroyed in an instant. Out of nearly fifty thousand flying mounts, fewer than one thousand five hundred remained. Their last hope was these five goblin airships. Once their aerial forces were nearly wiped out, even these five airships wouldn’t be able to survive. An unprecedented sense of defeat overwhelmed him.
Meanwhile, Cao Xu in the fortress of Clemency watched the battle above the City of Evil through a live video feed. He sank helplessly into his chair, still unable to believe what he was seeing. All hope had been shattered by the explosions of the self-destruct Fenglongs.
“What should we do about the remaining five goblin airships, Boss Nieyan?” Knight’s Elegy asked. With Angel Empire’s flying mounts nearly wiped out, although the five goblin airships were powerful and could eliminate several thousand flying mounts from Niuren Tribe at most, there was no way they could turn the tide. Niuren Tribe had already secured victory; the only question was how to win decisively.
“Deploy five thousand low-tier flying mounts to protect all the self-destruct Fenglongs and launch a full-scale assault!” Nieyan decided resolutely. He was willing to sustain some losses to bring down the goblin airships and avoid any prolonged conflict!
Upon Nieyan’s command, Niuren Tribe sounded the final charge. More than five thousand low-tier flying mounts protected over eighty self-destruct Fenglongs, launching a coordinated attack from all directions.
The five goblin airships of the Angel Empire unleashed their full firepower, their cannons roaring in fierce retaliation. The thunderous artillery was drowned out by the overwhelming battle cries of the Niuren Tribe, appearing feeble and insignificant in comparison.
Seeing the flood of flying forces from Niuren Tribe charging forward, Angelic Wings’ face turned gray.
The roar of the goblin airships’ cannons and the detonations of the self-destructing Fenglongs intertwined, ultimately dissipating into the skies above the City of Evil.
After losing more than three thousand flying mounts and sixty-one self-destruct Fenglongs, Niuren Tribe finally cleared out all of Angel Empire’s forces.
In the sky, slightly more than twenty-one thousand flying mounts of Niuren Tribe remained, with over ten thousand sustaining injuries. The losses were indeed severe, but compared to the victory, they were insignificant.
Nieyan asked Knight’s Elegy to tally the losses and gains.
“Boss Nieyan, the team members reported that we’ve collected a total of twenty-six thousand crystal cores and thirty-two thousand pieces of equipment!” Knight’s Elegy said excitedly. Although many crystal cores had been snatched by other guilds, including Angel Empire, the gains were still substantial.
“Boss Nieyan, we’ve completely destroyed a total of fifty-two thousand flying mounts from Angel Empire and Century Financial Group, and five thousand two hundred flying mounts from Divine Tribe,” Wu Dao said with a trembling voice. Before this war, he never imagined they would achieve such a magnificent victory.
“How many did our guild lose?”
“Approximately twelve thousand, and Angelic Fall lost over three thousand,” Knight’s Elegy replied.
This was a glorious victory for Niuren Tribe! In this battle, they completely annihilated the aerial forces of Angel Empire and Century Financial Group. From now on, Angel Empire would no longer possess any aerial power capable of challenging Niuren Tribe!
The aerial forces of the Niuren Tribe assembled. The sky above the City of Evil, now cleansed by the baptism of war, looked exceptionally clear.
Nearby players looked up at Nieyan atop the Dark Winged Dragon, who seemed like a war god, their hearts filled with excitement, unable to calm down for a long time.
Nieyan surveyed the players of Niuren Tribe below. More than twenty thousand flying mounts were within his sight. From now on, this army could soar freely in any corner of the Light Faction’s territory, with no force capable of challenging them!
“Brothers, we won! Today is just the first step. In the near future, we will crush Angel Empire and Century Financial Group under our feet, ensuring they never rise again. In the near future, we will dominate the entire continent of Atlantis and unify the Light Faction. In the near future, wherever we can see from our flying mounts, it will all be the territory of Niuren Tribe. We will possess sixty to seventy cities and thousands of fortresses. Let Niuren Tribe become the epic of the continent of Atlantis!” Nieyan felt a surge of heroism in his heart.
Dominating the continent of Atlantis and unifying the Light Faction—what a magnificent feat! Yet, this was not something impossible to achieve.
“Everyone gather in Okolen City in two hours. We will reward everyone according to their contributions!” Nieyan said with a smile. Having won a battle, he was naturally generous in rewarding his troops!
“Long live Boss Nieyan!” Hearing Nieyan’s words, the players of Niuren Tribe erupted into cheers. This was undoubtedly a moment worth celebrating.
At this moment, there were at least hundreds of thousands of players in the City of Evil, all of whom had heard Nie Yan’s bold declaration of unifying the entire continent of Atlantis. What an extraordinary achievement! Yet, no one doubted Nie Yan’s words. The aerial forces of the Angel Empire had already been defeated. Without aerial support, the Angel Empire’s ground forces were also forced into a passive position. In the entire Light Faction, who could still resist the advance of the Niuren Tribe?
