Chapter 3418: Be Magnanimous? (Revised)

In front of the main gate of the Steel City, the magnificent giant metal door was wide open, and Wild Boar Cavalrymen left the city one after another from the main gate and the four side gates on both sides.

The target of this morning's attack was the Sentry Tower's "Freedom City." The Steel City and Freedom City were not far apart, so there was no need to bring the Sun Fortress; it was left beside the Steel City to continue transforming Sun Citizens.

After Su Xiao and He Kendiwei negotiated last night, he exchanged 100,000 Kin soldiers for 700,000 Boar-men. This batch of Boar-men was sent overnight from "Freedom City."

How many Boar-men were in the Kin territory was a number difficult to count. The official number was no more than 6 million. In reality, the number of Boar-men in the Kin territory might have already reached 1 to 1 with the Kin.

Why would this be? Because the Kin were lazy on average. Counting the time, the Kin had been exploiting the Boar-men in the current way for at least two hundred years.

To this day, a trend had formed in the Kin culture: any Kin engaged in manual labor would even be despised, looked down upon, or even bullied by others.

It was no wonder the Kin would be like this. Everyone among them, from birth, had the impression that manual labor was equal to Boar-men. Kin had this impression in their childhood; only Boar-men would do manual labor.

This caused a scarcity of labor for the Kin. At that time, the Kin high-level officials had two choices: 1. Guide the trend, correcting this wrong concept through newspapers, media, education, etc. The disadvantage of doing this was that it would encounter the backlash of the public.

The second way was to relax the control over the Boar-men business and issue official documents allowing Boar-men to engage in multi-industry production.

The disadvantage of doing this was that the number of Boar-men would explode due to supply and demand.

With the foresight of the Kin high-level officials at that time, they were prepared to solve this problem in the first way, controlling the surge in the number of Boar-men so as not to be overturned by this ethnic group.

But at that time, the melee with the Humans was fierce. War + lack of productivity made the emotions of the Kin civilians like a powder keg.

Helplessly, the Kin high-level officials at that time chose to modify the laws and issue multiple official documents.

From then until now, the happiness of several generations of Kin civilians had been unbelievably high, but everything had cause and effect.

The evil fruit planted because of the situation at that time now revealed a very fatal point: the number of Boar-men in the Kin territory was too large. Now these Boar-men seemed to have no changes, but once they reached the Sun Fortress, they could become warriors at the cost of a one-tenth mortality rate.

Since the first confrontation with the Sun Fortress, He Kendiwei had issued an order to immediately execute all Boar-men in the territory.

At that time, the Sun Fortress only revealed that it could contend with the Kin side but could not attack the Kin territory and could only passively defend.

He Kendiwei's choice was both ruthless and correct, but as soon as the official document went down, it encountered strong backlash. At that time, He Kendiwei was not the supreme leader of the Kin side, but one of the four power-holders, and was suppressed by the Alliance Chief, Toyn.

When He Kendiwei and others were assassinated and Toyn died, He Kendiwei successfully ascended to the top and became the leader in the true sense. At that time, he issued an official document again to immediately execute all Boar-men in the territory and seal the "Life Factory."

This time, He Kendiwei failed again. He lost to more than a dozen capital families on the Kin side, some of which even had to be traced back to before the Great Catastrophe.

Even so, He Kendiwei still did not give up. When the Steel City was lost, he issued the order to execute all Boar-men in the territory for the third time.

This time Toyn was dead, and those dozen capital families were scared by the combat power of the Sun Legion and no longer dared to stand up and oppose. Just as the clearing began, Su Xiao's communication came.

In fact, the Kin side did not execute 70,000 Boar-men; they slaughtered more than 700,000 Boar-men in a shocking way and speed, and this was just an appetizer for the Night of Clearing.

Su Xiao's statement made He Kendiwei immediately stop clearing the Boar-men. The reason was that Su Xiao's attitude was very clear: if He Kendiwei cut off his source of troops, then when he attacked the city, whether it was Kin soldiers or civilians, there would be no concept of captives, and the direction of the war would change from defeating the Kin to killing the Kin until they were extinct.

If it were the high-level officials on the Human side who said this, He Kendiwei would say it was just a dog barking. But Su Xiao's past behavior made He Kendiwei not doubt at all that he could do such a thing. This was the advantage of the Evil faction.

The sky was overcast. Su Xiao, standing on the dragon's back, looked down. After capturing the Steel City yesterday, coupled with a large number of Sun Citizens moving into the city, the morale of our legion had undergone a fundamental change.

Before, the Wild Boar Knights were willing to follow and fight, partly because of sun worship and partly because the food was good.

With the Steel City as a rear base, the Wild Boar Knights clearly had a feeling that it was their home.

This was a very good bonus. Su Xiao only cared about whether he could defeat the enemy, and why the Wild Boar Knights were fighting—Su Xiao did not care much about that; they just needed to follow orders.

The dragon's roar pierced the sky. After a rapid march, Su Xiao saw Freedom City in the distance.

Although Freedom City was also a T0-level fortress, it did not have any city walls, and the whole was in an expanded state. Various buildings were built above the expanded parts. If this T0-level fortress were to be retracted, more than 70% of the buildings in the city would be damaged.

Freedom City indeed had no city walls, but the hundreds of sentry points around it all had position-type heavy artillery weapons. This type of heavy artillery weapon was named T-019 Executor.

The firepower of this heavy artillery weapon could no longer be described as powerful; there were 7 types of ground defense states.

Only "Freedom City," the capital of the Sentry Tower, could afford the defense of hundreds of heavy artillery-type Executor sentry towers.

Not to mention the manufacturing cost of these heavy artillery weapons, once a large number of enemies attacked, this weapon, which used active ore as an energy source, would consume a huge amount of active ore and special ammunition in a short time.

Therefore, there were no city walls built around Freedom City. The distance between each Executor defense sentry tower could radiate to each other. Hundreds of Executor defense sentry towers surrounded the oval-shaped Freedom City.

Excluding the Executor defense sentry towers, the Kin side stationed 300,000 Kin soldiers here.

Fewer troops did not mean weak defense. Su Xiao led 490,000 Wild Boar Knights to attack the city, but not all Wild Boar Knights were responsible for attacking the city.

Once the real fight started, only about 100,000 Wild Boar Warriors would attack the city and charge, while the remaining Wild Boar Knights would be divided into several large groups to meet the Kin troops reinforcing from all directions.

Looking down from above, our black-pressed army was pressing on the border. On the opposite side, the Kin side had already set up a defensive line.

The front of the Kin was a row of 5-meter-high armor plates. Judging from the thickness and weight of these armor plates, this thing was very likely used for fortresses. It must be that the charge of the Sun Legion yesterday left a shadow on Lieutenant General Whitley.

That's right, the Kin high-level officer defending the city was the old opponent, Lieutenant General Whitley. He himself was an officer of the Sentry Tower and was transferred back by the Sentry Tower leader, Ferdinand, to defend Freedom City, which was normal.

If the Steel City represented the face of the three major forces of the Kin, Freedom City was the lifeblood of the Sentry Tower. If this place were captured, the high-level officials of the Sentry Tower would have their blood pressure soar on the spot. Those who were older might not be able to catch their breath and would say goodbye to this beautiful world.

The Sentry Tower's "Freedom City," the Judgment Office's "Loyash," the Kin Alliance's "Kevab Ring City," and the Aurora Council's "Eternal Light."

These places were extremely important to the Kin. Losing one would cause a range-based impression on the surrounding areas.

After experiencing the Great Catastrophe, whether it was the Kin or the Humans, they were all developing in a centralized way. For example, a large area around Freedom City, others were small cities or medium-sized ring cities centered on T2-T1 level fortresses. Although these places were important, they all depended on Freedom City as the core of trade and resources.

A simple metaphor is that without Freedom City, this "power station," the "lights" in the surrounding areas would all go out.

Under the overcast dome, the streets that were once prosperous in Freedom City were exceptionally cold at this time. This city with a steampunk style began to fall into silence this morning, and every household closed their doors and did not go out.

Among the Kin high-level officials, someone had proposed letting the residents of Freedom City take refuge, but the problem was, where could such a huge population take refuge?

At the moment, only the defensive line at the front was broken, and those guarding there were all troops of the Kin Alliance side. Regarding this, the citizens of Freedom City always believed that the soldiers of the Sentry Tower were stronger than the soldiers of the Kin Alliance, so Freedom City was the safest place.

It was not known why the citizens of Freedom City were so confident in the soldiers of the Sentry Tower. As the leader of the Sentry Tower, Ferdinand was particularly unconfident in the combat power of the Sentry Tower soldiers.

At this time, in the top-floor meeting room of the representative building of Freedom City, the Eternal Watch Lighthouse, the entire meeting room was circular, with no walls around it, all being single-sided glass structures.

The Sentry Tower leader, Ferdinand, stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down. Even from a long distance, he saw the mighty Sun Legion pressing in, as well as the Storm Pterosaur that occasionally roared in the sky. To say that he was not afraid when seeing this scene would be a lie, but Ferdinand now had to remain calm.

In the meeting room, besides Ferdinand, there were more than a dozen Sentry Tower high-level officials. These were all big shots of the past, but today, their eyes were all focused on Lieutenant General Whitley. Regardless of military rank, the one most proficient in war among those present must be Lieutenant General Whitley.

Lieutenant General Whitley, wearing an officer's uniform with black as the main tone, matched with gold-blue sleeve patterns and shoulder badges, was sweating on his forehead at this moment.

"Whitley, in this battle, what is your chance of winning?"

"Don't mention the chance of winning yet. Whitley, tell us, what is your chance of holding Freedom City?"

"It's not difficult for Whitley to defend the city; what's difficult is how to beat back the enemy. Whitley, in this battle, what is your confidence in beating back the enemy?"

One question after another pressed down. Lieutenant General Whitley did not know how to answer for a while. At this moment, he really wanted to say: 'The Minister of Finance who said it's not difficult to defend the city, why don't you try defending it for me? The Steel City was all soldiers of the Kin Alliance, and such a fierce border city was hammered until the commander led the soldiers to break out and flee. Do you know how strong Brigadier General Rez was when he fought the Humans? He was a brigadier general because he only wanted to be a brigadier general and refused promotion many times. I am a lieutenant general because I can only climb to this position.'

Lieutenant General Whitley had a belly full of words he wanted to say. Due to the dozen people present, the lowest official rank was his direct superior, so he could only politely cope with a few sounds.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Whitley's thought was whether he could find an opportunity to surrender. No one knew better than him the gap in combat power between the soldiers of the Sentry Tower and the Kin Alliance. Assuming the combat power of the Kin Alliance soldiers was 30, it would be good if the combat power of the Sentry Tower soldiers was 8.

In the past, when fighting the Humans, the Kin Alliance was rushing forward, a reckless brute; the Sentry Tower was shouting the loudest in the back and contributing the least.

"Whitley, the war is about to start. Don't be hesitant with me. Speak directly: do you have a chance of winning?"

"Chance of winning... very low."

When Lieutenant General Whitley said this, he felt relieved in his heart instead, and felt ridiculous. Did these big shots in the meeting room really not know the quality of the Sentry Tower soldiers? In the past, he thought these big shots were pretending not to know.

Hearing Lieutenant General Whitley's words, the dozen people present were in an uproar. The war had not yet started, but the commander on their side did not even have the confidence to win the battle.

"Whitley, timid before the battle—you really live up to your name."

Minister of Finance Naeum spoke with sarcasm. Lieutenant General Whitley looked at his nose, mouth, and heart, looking like he didn't care how others talked.

Actually, Lieutenant General Whitley could not be blamed. He was a bit autistic from being beaten by Su Xiao, and he, who had been on the front line, knew the war situation better than anyone present.

Lieutenant General Whitley's lack of confidence, and even not caring about the lieutenant general's medal, made everyone present feel uneasy, not knowing how to fight this defensive battle. The commander on their side was actually cowardly.

The Sentry Tower leader, Ferdinand's face was ugly to the extreme. He now urgently needed someone to stand up, which made his gaze subconsciously turn to his confidant, Minister of Finance Naeum.

Noticing the gaze Ferdinand cast, the Minister of Finance's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look. He lowered his eyelids; this was to implicitly seek Ferdinand's consent. After finding that Ferdinand touched the ring on his hand, the Minister of Finance had a plan in his heart.

Bang!

The Minister of Finance slapped the round solid wood meeting table in front of him, pointed angrily at Lieutenant General Whitley, and scolded: "You have no chance of winning; why didn't you fart last night?"

"You didn't ask, and I thought you all knew."

Lieutenant General Whitley completely broke the jar. Ferdinand was his own uncle; he didn't believe he would be executed today. At most, he would be demoted.

Seeing Lieutenant General Whitley's reaction, the Minister of Finance was stunned. Thinking that Ferdinand was Lieutenant General Whitley's own uncle, he snorted coldly, appearing quite disappointed, and asked:

"Ferdinand, do you believe me?"

"Believe."

"That's good."

The Minister of Finance whispered a few words to the confidant behind him. This confidant ran out in a hurry. A few minutes later, a Kin officer under 30 years old walked into the meeting room. He was dressed straight and had a high-spirited appearance; he was a Kin brigadier general.

"This is my eldest son, Mori."

When the Minister of Finance introduced his eldest son to Ferdinand, he also patted his eldest son on the shoulder.

Others understood the Minister of Finance's meaning in seconds, but they all showed worry. Changing the commander at such a time was indeed inappropriate. But the previous commander didn't even have the confidence to win the battle. Thinking about it this way, temporarily changing the commander seemed acceptable.

Ferdinand, of course, also thought of this point. He looked at Brigadier General Mori quite "satisfactorily."

"You are very good. From now on, you will hold the rank of lieutenant general."

Ferdinand promoted Brigadier General Mori on the spot. This was not as simple as being promoted two levels; in fact, there were more implications.

Brigadier General Mori—no, Lieutenant General Mori—tried hard to suppress the joy in his heart and said steadily: "Lord Ferdinand, I will not let down your trust. This time I will go to the front line in person. If I don't die, the city will not be broken."

"Good!"

With Ferdinand's sophistication, he slapped the armrest of his chair.

Lieutenant General Mori glanced at Lieutenant General Whitley and walked out of the meeting room in the posture of a winner, heading straight for the defensive line in front of the city. This was Lieutenant General Mori's confidence. In terms of command, he was not as good as Lieutenant General Whitley, but his martial strength was several levels stronger than Lieutenant General Whitley's.

Seeing Lieutenant General Mori's winner-like posture when he left, Lieutenant General Whitley was full of ecstasy. He had been tossing and turning all night last night and couldn't think of how to throw this pot away, but now, someone was actually rushing to take over.

Lieutenant General Whitley looked at the Minister of Finance, his gaze full of gratitude. This made the Minister of Finance stunned, and then he felt sad in his heart. He thought that Lieutenant General Whitley had been beaten by the enemy until he had mental problems.

In front of Freedom City, three rows of shield walls stood tall, and 200,000 defenders formed a semi-circular defensive line, defending in front of Freedom City. The shape of the defensive line just happened to fit the circular Freedom City, firmly blocking Freedom City behind.

Behind these defenders were many Executor defense sentry towers over 30 meters high. These Executor defense sentry towers were entirely metal structures, standing there like loyal and majestic steel guards.

On a metal high platform in front of the city, Lieutenant General Mori, who had just arrived here, stood proudly on top, with 30 personal guards behind him.

Looking at the Sun Legion two kilometers away, after arriving at the battlefield in person, Lieutenant General Mori felt no small pressure, but he knew that this was also his opportunity.

Lieutenant General Mori knew how he climbed to the position of brigadier general. If there was no opportunity today, he would not be able to advance half a step in his official career for the rest of his life, even if he had a powerful father.

But Lieutenant General Mori was not stupid. In his view, with the quality of the Sentry Tower soldiers, defending the city was absolutely no problem. More importantly, there were these 617 Executor defense sentry towers around Freedom City.

With these war weapons that could be called killing spires, the enemy would definitely not be able to attack. Coupled with the fact that he was ordered to take over in a crisis, just defending Freedom City was a great achievement.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lieutenant General Mori's face, and his gaze looked at the Storm Pterosaur in the sky. The enemy leader was on the dragon's back. If he could kill the other party...

Lieutenant General Mori had just thought of this when a long horn sound came. This sound seemed to come from ancient times. Following the sound, Lieutenant General Mori saw a huge sheep-headed human phantom behind the enemy army. This sheep-headed human's image was old, his clothes were tattered, almost becoming strips, his hair revealed a gray-black color, and he carried a huge ancient war drum on his back.

Hum~!

The horn sound became longer and longer. The next second, Lieutenant General Mori heard a neat booming sound. That was the enemy's knights, using the weapons in their hands to smash the ground one by one. Although there were many people, the sound was exceptionally neat.

"Roar!!"

The Storm Dragon's roar in the sky, the person on the dragon's back, the Dragon Riding Spear in his hand pointed forward. This was not a meaningless action, but fully activated the War Lord title ability 2, Full Army Charge.

【Full Army Charge (Active): The morale of all soldier-type units on our side immediately reaches Lv. MAX, and the morale bar enters the "Burning Slot" state, effect lasts for 100 seconds.】

【Prompt: In this state, the charge speed of all soldier-type units on our side is increased by 30%, the knockback characteristic is increased by 1 tier, and pain perception is reduced by 90%.】

Accompanied by this dragon roar, angry flames rose from each Wild Boar Knight, and the mounts under them became extremely irritable.

Hausman looked up at the sky. After receiving Su Xiao's order, it urged the mount under it and rushed to the front.

"Kill!"

With Hausman as the arrowhead of the charge, all the Wild Boar Warriors behind rushed out. A distance of two kilometers was enough to complete the charge.

On the enemy's defensive line, each Kin soldier stood behind armor plates more than 5 meters high. Although this was not the best way to meet the cavalry, there was no way. This card of cavalry was only shown by Su Xiao yesterday.

Each Kin soldier stood ready. As the enemy in front got closer and closer, they felt the vibration of the ground under their feet become stronger.

Thump!

A series of loud noises spread very far. Do not forget, besides Wild Boar Knights, heavy tanks could also receive the blessing of the charge effect.

Each charging Wild Boar Knight suddenly separated to the left and right, revealing the heavy tanks with full charge momentum.

Not to mention using armor plates to block, even living war chariots, the full-speed charge of heavy tanks could knock them flying.

Sounds of metal breaking and twisting came one after another. A row of armor plate walls fixed on the ground was broken through a large area. The soldiers behind were unlucky, being topped by the heavy tanks charging over against the armor plate wall behind, dying on the spot. Some who did not die wailed endlessly.

After a roar, the three-layer armor plate wall was broken through, but this was very effective. The heavy tanks' charge momentum was exhausted, and large nets were ejected to cover the heavy tanks.

Further behind, Kin soldiers standing in several rows, each holding a sharp long weapon, abandoned the war knives they were used to. These were all set up by Lieutenant General Whitley, and at this time, they were cheap for Lieutenant General Mori.

Under the gaze of Lieutenant General Mori on the high platform behind, the Wild Boar Knights rushed up as if they had no brains.

Sharp long weapons pierced the bodies of these Wild Boar Knights, and the blood-letting holes on them sprayed blood outward. What made Lieutenant General Mori never dream of happening was that these Wild Boar Knights seemed to have no pain perception, letting their bodies be pierced, swinging the war hammers in their hands, and smashing at the Kin soldiers in front.

Bang!

A hammer hit the skull squarely. Just as this Wild Boar Knight was preparing to add a few more hammers, it found that the Kin soldier opposite had already had his brains shattered and was dead.

This Wild Boar Knight was very confused. It first calmly pulled out the long weapon that pierced its chest, then used the war hammer in its hand to poke the enemy lying in front, and after confirming that the enemy was already dead, it scratched its mane in confusion.

In the past, when fighting Kin soldiers, if they didn't hit the vital points, after seven or eight hammers, the other party would still shout to come again. Even if they hit vital points like the skull, those guys with metal cells in their bodies would at least resist two or three times before dying.

Smashing the enemy to death with one hammer now, this Wild Boar Knight was very unaccustomed to it. This was not the Kin soldier it knew.

Located in the sky, Su Xiao held the Thunder Stone in his hand. Originally, he intended to give the enemy's vital areas a heavy blow when attacking the city. The scene before his eyes let him know that there was no chance to test the Thunder Stone this time.

After activating the "Full Army Charge" ability, our army almost rushed directly into Freedom City. If it weren't for the plasma net of the Executor defense sentry tower, our Wild Boar Knights would have already rushed in.

According to investigations from various aspects before, the result was that the soldiers of the Sentry Tower were weaker than the Kin Alliance and the Aurora Council, but Freedom City had abundant resources, and the defensive strength here would definitely not be lower than "Loyash" and "Kevab Ring City."

After the fight started, except for the Executor defense tower having some pressure, the soldiers of the Sentry Tower side were simply broken at a touch.

At this time, on the chaotic battlefield below, plasma cannons were bombing, and laser beams swept across continuously, causing no small casualties to our Wild Boar Knights.

But on this basis, our Wild Boar Knights were simply slaughtering the soldiers of the Sentry Tower. Some Wild Boar Knights, while killing, even suspected that these were civilians who had been slightly trained. In the cognition of the Wild Boar Knights, as long as there was no order from the lord, they could not slaughter civilians, unless the other party chose to pick up weapons.

In the melee, Hausman looked at the Kin soldier sitting on the ground in front, about eighteen or nineteen years old, sitting on the ground with tear stains on his face.

"Pick up the weapon."

Hausman pointed at the enemy with the nail hammer in his hand. The Kin youth sitting on the ground opposite shook his head firmly and even raised his hands.

Seeing this scene, Hausman's eye corners twitched. He was particularly unaccustomed to this at the moment. He was used to fighting those hard bones of the Kin Alliance, and now encountering these soft eggs of the Sentry Tower, he was a bit unacclimatized to the fight.

And nearby, Steel Tooth looked at the three Kin soldiers in front who had all thrown away their weapons and knelt on the ground with their hands raised, and Steel Tooth was also unaccustomed to it.

Last night, there were many professionals outside who predicted that today's battle would be Sentry Tower vs. Sun Legion. In the analysis of those military experts, although the Sun Legion had more advantages, this battle would last at least a week or so.

The real situation was that three hours after the war started, 20% of the Sentry Tower's defenders were killed in action, and the remaining 80% all surrendered.

Compared to this side, the 100,000 Wild Boar Knights led by Bahar fought more tragically with the Kin Alliance reinforcement troops that came from the north. That was a heavy armor + heavy artillery weapon troop, which was like an iron turtle as a whole, almost making Bahar vomit in disgust.

When the six reinforcement troops around learned that Freedom City had been captured, the commanders of these six troops all thought that this was the enemy's trap and that the communication channel had a problem.

When they, who were in a bitter fight, sent out reconnaissance squads and learned that this news was true, these six commanders almost vomited.

Coming from the Aurora Council or the Kin Alliance, they retreated with full doubts. What made their mentality explode even more was that the enemy was cavalry. If the enemy wanted to retreat, that was fine, but if they wanted to retreat, they would be chased and beaten by the enemy for a long time, which was incredibly stifling.

Located under the Eternal Watch Lighthouse of Freedom City, Su Xiao walked at the very front, followed by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Bahar, Hausman, Steel Tooth, and Gluttony. As for Beni's whereabouts, it was temporarily unknown; it was not known where it went to look for treasure.

After obtaining 【Traveler's Favor】, this cat-star person became obsessed with hiking, and the more it walked, the better its luck became.

Two Wild Boar Knights with mounts squatting beside them guarded the two sides of the main gate of the Eternal Watch Lighthouse. Seeing Su Xiao walk over, both Wild Boar Knights knelt on one knee. It was not known where they learned this etiquette.

Taking the glass elevator of the Eternal Watch Lighthouse, accompanied by the elevator's height, most of Freedom City gradually presented itself in his eyes.

Ding~

The elevator stopped on the top floor. Su Xiao walked out of the elevator with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahar, while Amu, Hausman, and others—the elevator was overloaded and almost squeezed by them.

Led by a tearful Kin girl, Su Xiao walked into the meeting room on the top floor of the Eternal Watch Lighthouse.

There were only two people in the huge meeting room: Ferdinand and Lieutenant General Whitley.

"We meet again. Have you had lunch?"

Ferdinand spoke with a peaceful voice. Having been a superior for so many years, he still had the bearing to accept failure and death.

"Not yet. I will send someone to arrange it in a while."

"Well, then I'll have a meal with you. Now I can't order anyone, and my family is all dead. Thinking about it carefully, I actually don't even know how to do such a simple thing as cooking."

Ferdinand laughed self-deprecatingly. Su Xiao signaled Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to find the head chef. It was almost noon, and the Wild Boar Knights had been fighting all morning and were also hungry. It was time to arrange meals.

"Bai Ye, I'll tell you in advance, I have no stock here. Before you attacked, those subordinates of mine took away a lot of resources and fled to Kevab Ring City."

"Ferdinand, why didn't you run?"

Bahar spoke. Hearing this, Ferdinand laughed and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Freedom City was captured after holding on for 3 hours and 20 minutes. I, Ferdinand, cannot afford to lose this face, and cannot afford to lose this face on He Kendiwei's side."

Ferdinand picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it in one gulp when Bahar said: "Drinking before a meal is not a good habit. Lunch will be delivered soon."

Hearing Bahar say this, Ferdinand laughed freely and put down the wine glass in his hand, but his hand pressed on the mouth of the cup, obviously not wanting anyone to take this glass of wine away.

Both Ferdinand and Lieutenant General Whitley could have fled. The former did not flee for the sake of the civilians in Freedom City.

As the leader of the Sentry Tower, Ferdinand knew very clearly that if he fled to "Kevab Ring City" today, the civilians of Freedom City would all become captives.

But if he were still alive, Su Xiao could use him as a puppet to stabilize the residents in the city and let the factories in Freedom City continue to operate in an orderly manner. Controlling a Freedom City that could operate, its value was a hundred times that of occupying this place.

"Since you have already chosen this way, why regret it temporarily?"

Bahar looked at the wine glass Ferdinand pressed in his hand. Ferdinand leaned on the seat, let out a long breath, and moved his hand away from the mouth of the cup. Just at this moment, Su Xiao received a prompt.

【Prompt (Samsara Paradise): You have captured Freedom City.】

【This is a historical-level event of this world.】

【You have obtained Victory Badge x5.】

【Victory Badge: Unique resource for World Contention. 1 Victory Badge can be converted into 1.5%–3% of World Source in any native world (if used in this world, 1 Victory Badge can be converted into 5% World Source).】

【You have obtained Drifting Paper (Fragment).】

【Prompt: This item is a product of alchemy and is a unique reward for this world.】

Su Xiao had obtained a total of 8 【Victory Badges】. If converted into World Source, there was a full 40% World Source. How to use this thing was not urgent for now.

Su Xiao took out the 【Drifting Paper (Fragment)】 that suddenly appeared in his storage space. This was a triangular piece of paper. Looking thin, its texture was actually harder than metal.

Su Xiao had confirmed that this world had no inheritance of alchemy, but this was a unique reward for this world, which meant that this thing arrived in this world by chance, just like 【Dark Mist】.

The function of 【Drifting Paper (Fragment)】 was unknown. When checking its attributes, they were all question marks. It should have a significant background.

Capturing Freedom City was a big step forward for Su Xiao, but there was one thing he cared about. When Ferdinand decided to stay to protect the civilians, all his confidants ran away. The Minister of Finance, in particular, took away all the extraordinary resources in Freedom City's treasury.

For this kind of Caesar behavior, of course, it was necessary to punish severely. Su Xiao had been thinking about the extraordinary resources in Freedom City's treasury.

Unfortunately, the other party used the teleportation array to slip to "Kevab Ring City," which was difficult to handle.

Su Xiao took out the communicator and dialed Caesar.

"My dear friend, what's the matter with finding Caesar?"

Caesar's mood was quite good. He had been plucking wool on the Human side recently, and it should have been quite cool.

"I have a problem here. After capturing Freedom City, the resources in the treasury were taken away in advance by the Minister of Finance."

"There is such a thing? It's really regrettable, my dear friend. Money is an external object..."

Caesar's words were interrupted by Su Xiao halfway. He said: "There was originally one-third of yours in there."

"What!!"

Caesar on the opposite side immediately broke his voice, and one could hear the 'de-de-de' sound from the communicator due to shaking.

Caesar asked urgently: "What is that Minister of Finance called? Where is he?!"

"His name is Naeum, in Kevab Ring City."

"Caesar is going now!"

"It's very dangerous there..."

"Bai Ye, for the sake of our friendship, what is this little danger! Wait for my good news."

"Good."

Su Xiao hung up the communicator.

At the same time, Human territory, Capital, Genli.

On the second floor of the Military Supplies Department, Caesar put down the communicator. His hand was still shaking; this was out of anger. The various resources that originally belonged to him by one-third were about to be offered to He Kendiwei by a Minister of Finance named Naeum. How unreasonable!

Thinking of this, Caesar was so angry that his hair was almost standing up. He took out the dirty Ouroboros Slate from his arms and said:

"Snake, take me to the side of the Minister of Finance, Naeum."

'Dream on.'

The words on the Ouroboros Slate reflected its backbone.

"Heh~ ptoo!"

A large sticky phlegm of Caesar's was accumulated, and with a 'ptoo', he spat it on the Ouroboros Slate. With a 'crack', the Ouroboros Slate cracked on the spot.

The trembling Ouroboros Slate emitted a strong light, wrapping Caesar in it.

A few seconds later, the scene in front of Caesar changed. He was already in an underground port, next to a two-story small building. The surroundings of the small building and inside the small building were heavily guarded.

Hiding behind a trash can behind the small building, Caesar in a hidden state looked around with thief-like eyes. After confirming through the Ouroboros Slate that the Minister of Finance, Naeum, was in this stone building, Caesar showed a difficult expression. He was a kind person and did not want to attack the guards inside, but 'forced by the situation', he didn't want to either.

Caesar sighed. He felt that he was just too kind. Thinking this way, he poured some yellow powder into his shoes.

After putting on this shoe, Caesar took out a timer. After fermenting for about half a minute, when he felt his soles were a bit spicy, he took off his shoes, and then took off his sticky socks. A poop-yellow smoke gradually drifted from this sock.

Caesar leaned over and smelled it, rolling his eyes from the smell, almost unable to catch his breath.

Feeling the heat was about right, Caesar quietly opened the window and secretly threw the socks into the two-story small building.

About ten seconds later, a sharp wail came from the small building. A man as strong as a bull rushed out of the window, gasping for breath after surviving a disaster. His eyes were red, with tear stains on his face, and vomit filth on the corners of his mouth. That expression was as if he had been raped on a spiritual level.

Rolling yellow smoke emerged from the doors and windows of the two-story small building. The visibility inside was less than 10 centimeters. Caesar, wearing a gas mask, walked into the small building. A moment later, a strong light appeared on the second floor.

When Caesar broke away from the spatial fluctuation, he was already in Warehouse No. 1 of Freedom City. The Minister of Finance, Naeum, who was foaming at the mouth, fell beside his feet. His body was twitching due to shock, and his crotch was wet.

Not long after, Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Bahar, wearing gas masks, walked into Warehouse No. 1.

"Should I do it or you?"

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Caesar said: "I'll do it. Your methods are too cruel. Caesar is afraid that he won't bear to watch."

While Caesar was speaking, Amu dragged the fat Minister of Finance, Naeum, to a square pillar, let the other party maintain a leaning posture, and tied him to it.

Caesar dragged a chair, sat on it, and faced the Minister of Finance, Naeum.

Several crystal needles pricked the face and head of the Minister of Finance, Naeum. After he took a deep breath, he woke up suddenly, looking around in panic, not yet reacting to what was going on.

As long as it involved benefits, Caesar was at full efficiency. He asked:

"My friend, may I ask where you put the extraordinary resources of Freedom City's treasury? You won't bring those resources with you this time when you go to find He Kendiwei, so, speak."

"What resources? Who are you!"

The Minister of Finance, Naeum, made up his mind to play dumb.

"Alright then~"

Caesar sighed, took off his shoes, and probed his feet in front of the Minister of Finance, Naeum.

Just by looking at it visually, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, wearing a gas mask, instinctively retched. From this, one can imagine the feeling of the person involved.

A few seconds later, a scream came out of Warehouse No. 1. ===== CHAPTER 3419 =====
