Chapter 2390

The news of the Dongze Kingdom's destruction spread through Ango City like a plague. This news could not be covered up at all. This world had newspapers and telegraphs, and countless distress messages came from Dongze, causing Ango City's intelligence channels to almost paralyze.

The destruction of Dongze was just the beginning. An hour later, the second bombshell news arrived: the Moon Creek Kingdom was attacked by an unknown force. Parts of the civilians in major cities suddenly turned into monsters and began to slaughter all living things. Humans, livestock, wild creatures—as long as they were alive, even insects would be trampled to death.

27 minutes later, the Moon Creek Kingdom sent its final telegram: the Moon Creek Kingdom would perish today. They hoped the Council House would change the records to state that the Moon Creek Kingdom perished after resisting for 27 days, allowing the Moon Creek Kingdom to perish with some dignity.

Two of the four major kingdoms had perished. The Storm Kingdom had already begun to retreat. All steam trains of the Chidollman Company were mobilized. The cargo they were carrying was dumped, and as many people as could be squeezed into the carriages were squeezed in.

A total of 372 steam trains were carrying nothing but soldiers of the Storm Kingdom. The Storm King, Toto Hela, did not board the train; he decided to coexist with the Storm Kingdom. The Storm Kingdom only had kings who died in battle, not cowards who abandoned their people to escape alone.

Not only the Storm Kingdom, but the steam trains in the Lehman Kingdom were also mobilized. The first batch of transport was not just soldiers, but also many steam weapons. One could only say that this was very Lehman; even when disaster was imminent, they had to ensure the weapons arrived first.

Four hours later, news came from the Lehman Kingdom that they had already engaged with the monsters. Similar to the Dongze and Moon Creek Kingdoms, the source of the monsters was civilians and Secret Technique Masters. Strangely, the probability of soldiers turning into monsters was very low.

These monsters were humanoid, with withered bodies, gray eyes, and their clothes were severely decayed, hanging on their bodies like tattered strips of cloth.

Among the monsters, there were three types that were the hardest to deal with: those with large bodies, those with cracks on their skin, and those with deep red pupils.

It had to be said that the combat power of the Lehman Kingdom was strong. Although they were prepared, being able to engage with the monsters and forcibly establish a battle line already explained many things. After all, it was a kingdom that had once attempted to become completely independent.

Compared to the Lehman Kingdom, the situation in the Storm Kingdom was very bad. After they sent away the first batch of people, monsters also appeared in various large and small cities across the country.

After transporting three batches of civilians and soldiers, the capital of the Storm Kingdom was breached. The fate of the Storm King was unknown.

At six o'clock that evening, the sunset scattered, and a steam train departed from the White Oak Station of the Lehman Kingdom.

"Hurry! Those monsters are coming. Where is the King?"

A military officer wearing a Lehman Kingdom uniform with a unique aquiline nose roared.

"He has already been knocked unconscious and is on the front train."

"Well done, Private. Get on the train."

The aquiline-nosed officer's expression was somewhat twisted. Knocking out a king was something he wouldn't have dared to think about before.

"Sorry, sir, I lost an arm, and my internal organs are severely damaged."

"Bullshit."

Bang!

Steam sprayed, and shattered skull fragments and blood splattered everywhere. This private had committed suicide. He was severely injured and knew he wouldn't live long. Plus, his family had all died, and he no longer had the belief to live on. He had been able to hold on until now only because he was a soldier of the Lehman Kingdom, a soldier who had taken an oath under the kingdom's banner.

The aquiline-nosed officer wiped the blood from his face, looking at the corpse that had fallen at his feet.

"What is his name?"

"Reporting, sir, his name is Diwei Se, Private."

"Where is his family?"

"Reporting, according to the front-line battle report, Wapei City has fallen completely, and all of Diwei Se's family members have perished."

"Understood."

The masseter muscles on the aquiline-nosed officer's face bulged. He took off his jacket and covered the corpse of Private Diwei Se.

A few minutes later, the last steam train at White Oak Station started. Steam sprayed from the locomotive, and the steam core gradually preheated.

Woo~

The steam train moved forward slowly. Just at this moment, a black shadow leaped from afar.

Thud!!

Shattered wood and concrete splattered everywhere. White Oak Station was partially collapsed. A monster at least a dozen meters tall stood up from the ruins. It was covered in gray-black tree bark, branches hung down, and a hole had been blasted through its chest, with sparks flickering around the hole.

"129 meters behind, giant monster incoming, height over 16 meters. Drag out the steam cannon."

As soon as the shout fell, a petite figure leaped out from the train carriage window. She grabbed the upper side of the carriage with one hand, flipped her body, and landed on top of the carriage, crouching halfway.

This young girl's blue-purple long hair was tied into a ponytail. While crouching, she had already set up a steam sniper rifle over two meters long. She pulled the bolt, and the small steam core on the rifle turned scorching red.

Bang.

The first bullet left the chamber, creating ripples in the air, and hit the right leg of the tree-man monster behind. The bullet penetrated the lower leg but could not affect the tree-man monster's running.

The train's movement made the steam dissipate quickly, which gave the girl a chance to fire continuously. She pulled the trigger again.

The bullet left the chamber and hit the tree-man monster's right lower leg again. With a snap, withered wood fragments splattered, and a broken lower leg spun away. The tree-man monster fell to the ground with a thud.

This girl was named Nancy Erna. She had once escorted Su Xiao and ended up accidentally killing someone from the Chidollman Company. Just as she was returning to the Lehman Empire to be put in confinement, this change occurred in the Lehman Kingdom.

The steam train's speed was getting faster and faster, but it would take another 2–3 minutes to reach full speed.

Rapid running sounds came from both sides of the train. Nancy Erna tilted her head to look and broke into a cold sweat. There were dozens of humanoid monsters on each side of the train, running fast and chasing the steam train. These guys had red light in their eyes, as if they were being commanded, and were about to pounce under the train wheels.

With a bang, Nancy Erna blasted a humanoid monster into powder, but there were too many humanoid monsters.

One humanoid monster after another pounced under the train wheels. Their tough bodies were hard to crush. The rear carriage jumped up several dozen centimeters, and the train wheels hit the steel rails with a clatter. Some wheels locked up due to damaged transmission gears, dragging large sparks on the steel rails, the sizzling sound being particularly ear-piercing.

"You bad guys."

Nancy Erna held the steam sniper rifle, ran quickly on top of the carriage, leaped to the front carriage, and blasted the coupling of the rear carriage with one shot.

With a boom, the rear carriage overturned, and after bouncing several times on the steel rails, it gradually slowed down, and the explosive materials inside exploded with a roar.

The wind pressure from the explosion blew Nancy Erna's long hair. She held the steam sniper rifle in her arms, looking at the city in the distance where plumes of black smoke were rising. That was her hometown; her hometown was gone.

"Bad guys, bad guys! Kill you all!"

Nancy Erna's shout traveled very far. No one would have thought that the originally prosperous four major empires would all perish in just one day, and these were just the beginning.
