Chapter 383: Chapter 281: Seizing the Wokou Military Base!
The bombardment selectively targeted the wealthy aristocrats and powerful clans of the Gauze Nation.
With Zi Liyuan changing his position after every shot, he managed to evade capture by the Wokou elites, and even the Wokou military had no clue who was playing the bombardment game.
However, high-ranking officials of the Gauze Nation speculated that it might be the forces of the lower-class civilians stirring trouble behind the scenes.
It's no wonder they assumed this, as all the victims were wealthy merchants, aristocrats, and influential families, weren't they?
The civilians of the Gauze Nation had always been oppressed and had always harbored a rebellious force, only they were suppressed too heavily to rise.
Now with the undead plague wreaking havoc in Tokyo City, the capital of the Gauze Nation, it was an excellent opportunity to fish in troubled waters, one that certainly needed to be seized.
As for the bombing of Yasukuni Divine Latrine, these upper echelons of the Gauze Nation only found it reasonable.
After all, this was a well-known place in the Gauze Nation where war criminals were enshrined, and the ghosts harbored there were not only numerous but also formidable.
Any force intent on causing trouble would be completely foolish not to take down such a place first.
Besides, all the victims were prominent families and wealthy aristocrats; if this isn't targeting, what is?
Therefore, the ruling class of the Gauze Nation did not hesitate to draw another 12-man team of Fourth Order Peak elites from the military, specifically to combat those taking advantage of the chaos.
Zi Liyuan certainly knew that he was being tracked, as the covert agents arranged by Edward had basically spread throughout every corner of Tokyo City.
Even a few military districts now had vampires and ghosts infiltrated into them.
With the undead disaster spreading within the city, large numbers of Wokou troops were mobilized to fight against the undead, leaving these military districts almost devoid of soldiers, with only a minimal force remaining.
In fact, these military districts were also Zi Liyuan's calculated targets, not for now, but for when the situation within Tokyo City became even more chaotic, then he would strike.
At this moment, Lord Zi was wholeheartedly targeting the major powers of the Gauze Nation.
However, the bombardment offensive did not continue indefinitely; he was forced to halt his actions even before completing ten rounds.
By the fifth round of bombardment, a 12-man team of Fourth Order Peak elites had already started pursuing him, but with the use of a random teleportation scroll, Lord Zi managed to successfully flee with his crew.
Then he used a "Trick Ornament" to change his physique again and conceal his Spirit aura, which prevented the Wokou elite squad from pursuing him.
But these fellows got smart; splitting into three groups of four, they laid ambush near potential bombardment targets, waiting for their prey.
If it weren't for Edward's informants providing timely intelligence, he would have surely been captured by the enemy.
For this reason, Lord Zi did not hesitate to once again change his location, avoiding the three guarded targets and leading the pursuers on a merry chase.
By the time eight rounds of bombardment had been completed and eight targets had been hit, the Wokou Onmyoji Palace actually sent reinforcements.
It was a 36-man team of Fourth Order Peak elites, flying directly over Tokyo City, patrolling the skies and immediately unleashing Shikigami to attack any signs of trouble.
The people of the Onmyoji Palace were so ruthless that they didn't even spare the Wokou civilian professionals, killing anyone who dared to act during their patrol.
Seeing his own countrymen killed by the Wokou elite squad, Zi Liyuan had no choice but to give up on the continuation of the bombardment and begin another plan.
Still using a random teleportation scroll, he teleported to a carefully selected restricted military area, waved his magic wand, and summoned a swarm of Vulture Skeletons.
He pulled out the self-destruct bots made by the Undead Dwarfs and embarked on a grand airdrop mission.
The Vulture Skeleton bombers took to the air once again, this time with the self-destruct bots to start bombing.
What followed was a series of "booming" explosions, turning the military district he'd targeted into a victim.
After one round of bombardment, numerous summoning circles were activated, as the epic creatures made their grand appearance and, roaring with fury, launched a charge on the military restricted area.
Zi Liyuan rode on a giant turtle, following closely behind the epic creatures, and charged into the military restricted area.
Just as they broke into the military district, three Wokou soldiers in uniform suddenly surged out of a building reduced to ruins.
They started with powerful moves, launching them at the epic bosses.
But the epic bosses were not to be trifled with; leading with a trio of golden behemoths, they faced the attack head-on without flinching and charged forward.
The three Frost Giants trailing behind the golden behemoths simultaneously summoned a shower of icy spikes, which they hurled forward with great force.
The slowest among them, a three-headed Hydra, almost instantly opened its maws wide and a barrage of magical beams gushed forth, striking at the three Wokou officers.
The old turtle at the rear, without any hesitation, drew upon the power of the earth and formed a shield, protecting both itself and Zi Liyuan within.
Zi Liyuan, well-prepared, released the "Death Dark Arrow" ability almost instantly.
Two Death Dark Arrows, concealed behind the magical beams unleashed by the Hydra, simultaneously targeted a single individual.
