Chapter 914 - Chapter 914 Chapter 914 Nothing More Than That
Chapter 914: Chapter 914: Nothing More Than That Chapter 914: Chapter 914: Nothing More Than That Upon hearing this, Fox, Black Wolf, and the others slightly startled, instinctively followed the direction Greg Jensen was looking in.
Indeed, five hundred meters away, they saw a series of clear footprints on the ground.
And it was just footprints they could see; there were no figures to accompany them. The assailants seemed to have completely blended into the night, so much so that no matter how wide they opened their eyes, they couldn’t catch even the slightest clue of their presence.
“Hiss! Aren’t these cyborgs’ invisibility effects a bit too freakish? If Lord Dragon King hadn’t thought of a countermeasure, I’m afraid Dragon King’s Palace would have suffered a great loss tonight!”
Shocked, Fox sharply inhaled, no longer daring to be negligent. While complaining, he immediately sounded the alarm to notify all the warriors on the border to enter Level Ten Alert.
For a moment, urgent footsteps echoed along the border defenses stretching hundreds of miles through the Eight countries in Southeast.
Each fully armed warrior waited tensely by the wall, eyes fixed on the alert zone.
Even Black Wolf, Viper, and others brought over a powerful cannon, excitedly saying:
“Once they break through the poison ring, I’ll greet them with a mortar strike and detonate all the landmines in the vicinity!”
They were eager to see just how durable these cyborgs’ bodies really were.
If luck was on their side, this single barrage might inflict serious damage on a large number of the cyborgs.
This would make the battle that lay ahead much easier for them.
However, Greg Jensen, who was sitting beside them drinking tea with composure, shook his head and waved his hands:
“Don’t be in a rush to detonate. These cyborgs are acting hastily, I’m afraid… they might not notice the landmines under their feet.”
“How is that possible?! They aren’t fools, they wouldn’t…” Black Wolf began to reflexively argue upon hearing this.
But before he could finish his sentence, a sudden, loud explosion interrupted him.
The landmines hidden behind the poison ring detonated one after another.
Thousands of cyborgs were revealed at that moment.
Though not enough to critically damage them, their mechanical parts were somewhat injured.
“This… Can it be that these cyborgs’ eyes weren’t modified? So many landmines and not one was detected?”
“Exactly, I thought at least some of them would notice.”
“Lord Dragon King, what, what exactly is going on here?”
Fox, Black Wolf, including Viper who laid the poison fog, were all stunned.
It was clear they couldn’t understand how such cyborgs could be so obtuse as to not detect a single mine, leading one explosion to set off a chain reaction with the others, causing a series of disruptions for them.
“Heh, isn’t it just as I guessed it would be?”
Seeing this, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but hook the corner of his mouth into a cold smile.
He faced the puzzled looks thrown his way and explained:
“I obtained information that these cyborgs have everything but their brains replaced with machinery. This means, their primary thinking still originates from the brain. Since it’s the brain, it obviously can’t analyze things calmly like a computer would and is often influenced by various objective conditions.”
That’s why he had Viper make the poison fog smell foul and pungent, with the addition of dizzying powder.
These fine powders, once inhaled, would immediately disorient the brain, affecting their judgement and muddling their consciousness.
In their eagerness to escape the poison zone faster, these cyborgs naturally had no time to think and could only exert all their strength to rush out.
“Impressive, Lord Dragon King, no wonder you asked me to design a non-toxic poison mist, just to interfere with their analysis!”
With admiration, the Viper gave a thumbs up, only now fully understanding Greg Jensen’s intentions.
As the mine bombardment went on for a prolonged period, more and more transformed humans revealed themselves.
Artillery shells whistled out from the ramparts, their firepower precisely aimed at suppressing the transformed humans.
Although they could not annihilate them in one fell swoop, the effort effectively restrained their movement, especially since visible cracks began to show on the surface of the transformed humans’ bodies.
Seeing them draw closer, ready to storm the city walls, the Fox and Black Wolf among others grew restless, rolling up their sleeves excitedly as they spoke:
“Lord Dragon King, it’s our turn to take action! I want to see what kind of prowess these transformed humans really possess!”
As they spoke, four or five people began to channel their Special Abilities, intending to leap down from the city walls.
Greg Jensen hastily stopped them, showing no intention of letting them meet the enemy in combat.
He chuckled, setting down his teacup, and said:
“Those beasts from Cherrywood are still watching us from behind. The longer you stand off with these transformed humans, the more they will gloat!”
Plainly put, the actions of the transformed humans were not merely a sneak attack, but more so a test of their current military state.
If ten thousand transformed humans could hold them off for even half a day, then the military strength of the Eight countries in Southeast could be thoroughly analyzed.
By the next engagement, Cherrywood would certainly prepare more transformed humans, attempting to capture all of them in one fell swoop.
Therefore, in Greg Jensen’s view, they absolutely couldn’t afford to show any weak points now. When they struck, it had to demonstrate the formidable strength of the Eight countries in Southeast.
With this in mind, he calmly took out a scroll, stood on the edge of the city wall, and after making several hand signs, a gigantic silhouette of yellow and red instantly soared into the air with a swoosh.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Saber-Toothed Tiger King he had tamed in the Shadow Province!
“Hiss! Is… is that a beast?!”
“When did Lord Dragon King start keeping a Tiger King?”
“Looking at its aura, its strength is at least Level Ten!”
“I feel that even all of us together wouldn’t be a match for it!”
The Fox and the others exchanged glances, clearly not expecting Lord Dragon King to have this up his sleeve.
They could distinctly feel an unprecedented pressure emanating from the Saber-Toothed Tiger King.
Boom!
In the midst of their thoughts, a sonic boom shattered the air, as the Saber-Toothed Tiger King sprang from its stance, rushing at the transformed humans like lightning, leaving behind only afterimages that were virtually impossible to track with the naked eye.
In the following second, amidst a burst of flames, the Saber-Toothed Tiger King brutally bit off several transformed humans’ arms, its mouth shooting out scorching flames.
Under the intense heat of the flames, the mechanically modified bodies of the transformed humans couldn’t withstand and quickly melted in seconds, turning into a pool of molten metal and revealing the intricate parts inside.
And it wasn’t over yet!
The Saber-Toothed Tiger King, like a war god descended, not only pushed its speed to the limit but with each swipe of its claws, smashed several transformed humans into pieces. These Level Ten warriors crumbled like tofu in its presence.
In less than quarter of an hour, nearly a thousand transformed humans in this area were obliterated, and the core cadre of the Dragon King’s Palace had not once had to intervene!
“Heh heh…” Greg Jensen, upon seeing this, smiled even broader, mockingly stating, “It seems the transformed humans that Cherrywood spent two months developing aren’t much after all!”
“This…”
