Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City -
Chapter 537 - 536 Lin City
Chapter 537: Chapter 536 Lin City
Since landing in Gu Country, it was Lin Hao’s first target! The Mysterious Fire Monarch issued an order from the Eternal Life Realm to capture all Earthlings, indicating that the Mysterious Fire Monarch already intended to suppress Lin Hao.
Then, Lin Hao decided to lead the mighty Earth army to strike the Eternal Life Realm, giving the Mysterious Fire Monarch a huge surprise!
These fiery weapons were all part of the Western Group’s inventory, sealed away in warehouses, they had survived the tsunami’s onslaught and, after some repairs, could still be used.
When leaving Earth, Lin Hao had brought all these weapons, and now, on the very first day, they proved to be useful.
These weapons, powerful in their own right, were something even the inhabitants of the Eternal Life Realm did not dare to resist with their bare flesh. For the masters of the Upper Realm plane, these adapted firearms were an unsolvable problem.
And adding some high-tech equipment crafted from the unique materials of Resurrection Island, one could say that this power was sufficient to roam unchallenged in the Upper Realm Plane!
Most importantly, these weapons were incredibly simple to use, mostly smart, idiot-proof, one-button operations; anyone who could understand the Earth script could handle them.
The thousands of Earth people here, although most were born and raised in the Upper Realm, still recognized their ancestors’ script.
After distributing the equipment and explaining its use, Lin Hao managed to quickly train them, especially with so many Ascendants from Earth and members of Dragon Needle.
Thousands of people, an entire division’s firepower.
Lin Hao was quite pleased, even going so far as to equip his two hundred modified tanks and armored vehicles to the Dragon Needle members, forming a steel torrent, an ultra-modernized force.
Outside Peace Village, waves of killing intent wafted. These thousands had been hunted and forced to flee for so long that they had all been bottling up their rage.
Many had been separated from their wives and children during this time, left to fend for themselves in ruin; for all of them, this had been bestowed by Gu Country. And now, they had the chance for revenge!
The power Lin Hao had just demonstrated gave them confidence. Now, with so much equipment provided by Lin Hao, even those unfamiliar with the principles of technology knew after inspecting the weapons that these were not the same firearms from when they had left Earth.
In the past, these mere fire-spitters were something they could endure with their bare bodies, even catching bullets by hand. But these modified versions? Try catching them by hand?? That would be insane!
Everyone had a warrior’s heart, eager to burst forth and rub their hands in anticipation.
"Lin... Lin Hao!" Suddenly, Lin Yan’er finally mustered the courage, running in front of Lin Hao.
"What is it?"
Lin Hao paused, uninterested in Lin Yan’er’s beauty at the moment, and couldn’t think of anything significant she might have to say.
"I, I want to lead the way!" Lin Yan’er clenched her teeth, gathering her courage: "I was originally the daughter of the Lin City City Lord, and Lin City was the only settlement of Earthlings in Gu Country. After the city fell, my family, along with all the townsfolk, were captured. I want to lead the way, I want to rescue them!"
Lin Yan’er had been struggling with this decision. Never had she imagined that Lin Hao would be such a formidable man. Remembering the time they had tumbled down the hillside together, Lin Yan’er’s pretty face blushed as red as a scorching iron, the redness spreading down to her neck.
"Please. My parents are still within the city," Lin Yan’er felt a strange sensation in her heart, a bit odd, but it was obvious to any discerning person that it was a young girl’s budding romance.
"Alright, you lead the way!"
Lin Hao didn’t overthink; he did need someone to guide them.
"Move out! We strike Lin City first, then annihilate Gu Country!"
With a wave of his hand, the newly formed army, unprecedented in the Upper Realm Plane, marched mightily in the direction of Lin City.

......
Meanwhile, in Lin City.
This city isn’t far from Gu Country Imperial City, and Lin Hao’s current position is midway between the Imperial City and Lin City.
At this moment, Lin City is undergoing a purge.
This place, originally inhabited by Earthlings with few other races, had all its property fall into the hands of Tito Hans, the Great General who breached the city’s defenses.
Right now, Tito Hans is seated in the City Lord Mansion of Lin City, a sneer on his face.
As the Lin Family were the lords of Lin City, they were naturally very wealthy, and the soldiers were busy inventorying the Lin Family’s property, preparing to move it out.
Mountains of Primordial Stones and countless treasures dazzled the eyes.
A Deputy General walked up to Tito Hans with an inventory book in hand, and respectfully said, "General, the properties of the Lin Family have been tallied. The total is 13.58 million jin of Primordial Stones. Additionally, there are numerous rare treasures with incalculable value; they are worth a fortune."
"What? The Lin Family has 13.58 million jin of Primordial Stones? Outrageous! Consider that Gu Country’s annual tax revenue is no more than ten million jin. A mere city lord so greedy! Such a person deserves more than death. I must report this to His Majesty and have this thief flayed and his sinews extracted!"
Tito Hans suddenly turned his head, glaring venomously at the Deputy General as if he were about to flay him instead.
The Deputy General, shivering under his glare, quickly flipped through the inventory book and suddenly said with relief, "General, I must have been seeing things earlier. The Lin Family’s wealth is only 3.58 million jin of Primordial Stones."
"What? The Lin Family has 3.58 million jin of Primordial Stones? Outrageous! Consider that Gu Country’s annual tax revenue is no more than ten million jin. A mere city lord so greedy! Such a person deserves more than death. I must report this to His Majesty and have this thief flayed and his sinews extracted!" Tito Hans’ eyes bulged as he took a step forward, seeming ready to devour the Deputy General.
"Ah, General, upon closer examination just now, I realized that I made another mistake! The Lin Family only has 580,000 jin of Primordial Stones, with nothing else besides that," the Deputy General blurted out, almost instinctively.
"Hmph! Is it truly so?! Lin Guodong, Lin Guodong, Gu Country has treated you well, yet you have embezzled all the tax revenue from these years and hidden it somewhere, leaving behind a mere 580,000 jin of Primordial Stones!" With a sneer, Tito Hans no longer stared at the Deputy General.
Instead, turning his head, he declared righteously and angrily, "Someone, bring Lin Guodong and his entire family to the city walls for me. I must interrogate them severely and eliminate a traitor for the country!"
"Yes!"
Several soldiers left, and as they exited, another few soldiers ran in from outside in a frantic state.
"Report! General, an army of Earthlings has been spotted 30 li from the city and they are heading this way!"
"What? There’s still an Earthling army? And they dare to approach here?" Tito Hans was momentarily stunned, puzzled.
In theory, there shouldn’t be any organized Earthling forces left in Gu Country at this point, and yet an army has suddenly appeared...
"How many strong?" His eyebrows raised, Tito Hans was not only unafraid, he was actually excited.
This wasn’t some Earthling army; it was a chance for Tito Hans to earn military glory!
"Roughly three to five thousand men," the soldier hesitated before adding, "They’re strange; they have iron boxes that move on their own."
Iron boxes that move on their own?
What are those?
Tito Hans had never seen armored vehicles or tanks, but what would it matter even if he had?
"Merely over three thousand men, no more than three thousand slaves. No need to bother with them. Go! To the city walls, to interrogate Lin Guodong! This time, I’ll not only eliminate a traitor for the country but also show these Earthlings what happens when they oppose Gu Country!"
