Chapter 384: Chapter 281: Seizing the Wokou Military Base!_2
He had to ensure a one-hit kill!
"Yaa~!"
However, the first attack to arrive was neither from the epic beasts nor Zi Liyuan's strike, nor was it the skill attack from a Wokou officer, but the scream of the Spider Queen!
Spiritual Assault!
Aimed directly at the Wokou's spirit, in almost an instant, three charging Wokou officers staggered, their movements becoming uncoordinated.
In that brief moment of hesitation, without their defenses being activated, they were immediately overwhelmed by the magic attacks of the frost giants and the Hydra Monster.
"Aaah~!"
A scream, and a body with a pierced chest fell to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a stop.
As for the other two Wokou officers, they weren't faring much better, suffering light injuries that triggered their own passive life-saving measures.
A round of magic attacks, the strong control from the Spider Queen, combined with Zi Liyuan's surprise attack, instantly finished off a Fourth Order Peak warrior.
The remaining two were now being pummeled by the epic beasts, beginning a thorough beatdown.
A Fourth Order Spatial Binding Scroll was activated and torn by Lord Zi.
A massive spatial cover enveloped the entire military restricted area.
After cutting off the remaining Wokou's ability to use spatial abilities to escape within the military zone, Zi Liyuan, taking cover behind the old turtle, unleashed full firepower, casting powerful magic spells haphazardly.
The embattled Wokou officers, in just a matter of minutes, were hammered to death by the group of epic beasts and the Spider Queen.
Packing up the nearly pulverized corpses neatly, Zi Liyuan rode the old turtle towards the military district's storage, sharing the locations of the Wokou hiding spots with the epic beasts and the Spider Queen.
Clearing out the Wokou was left to these big bosses, while his target was the looting of supplies within the military district.
Suddenly subjected to an air raid, the Wokou troops in the military restricted area were bombed and battered, all those Second Order or below obliterated by the Vulture Skeletons' bombing.
The surviving Wokou soldiers, numbering a little over a hundred, all bore injuries, with uniformly Third Order capabilities.
Wokou of this order, if joining forces, could put up some resistance against about ten Lord Bosses but against ten Epic Bosses, they were only fit for slaughter.
In the military restricted area, screams were incessant, and the life force of living beings was rapidly depleting.
Lord Zi turned a deaf ear, having already arrived at his destination upon the old turtle.
The thick metal doors were casually kicked flying by the old turtle, revealing rows of storage rooms, each labeled to indicate the contents.
"Thank you, diligent Japanese teachers, for teaching me simple Wokou language!"
Arriving at a door marked with 'Equipment Storage', he lifted his leg and kicked.
With a loud 'bang', the seemingly solid metal door was kicked flying.
Green forgiveness color, pale blue sky blue, and silvery white fluorescence intermingled before Lord Zi's eyes.
On rows of shelves, equipment was sorted according to quality and order.
"Goodness, just from this single equipment storage room, there must be tens of thousands of items. When I just came in, there were a good ten of such storage rooms. This haul is massive!"
Packing up, everything must be packed and taken away!
He took out a Space Sealing Sphere, a spatial device that could contain large machinery and serve as a temporary storage.
"Edward, summon your nearby subordinates to transport the supplies."
"At your command, master!"
With an elegant bow, Edward's lips slightly curled, and a silent sound wave spread out.
Zi Liyuan didn't concern himself with that, instead, he waved his magic wand, and five hundred Wraith Mages with their king appeared before him.
"Wraith King, command your Wraiths to construct a protective barrier. Guard it well until the warehouse is fully transported."
"I am pleased to serve you, my master."
The Wraith Mage used the White Bone Staff in his hand as support, slightly bowed and said with a gesture of respect.
Lord Zi didn't waste words, nodded, and then began to collect things.
Of course, the only items he could gather were those of silver hero quality or above.
Regrettably, within the entire military base's storeroom, the stored items of silver hero quality were few and far between.
In a warehouse, out of tens of thousands of pieces of equipment or treasured items, fewer than five hundred were of silver quality.
By the time Lord Zi had looted ten warehouses, he had only gathered just over seven hundred pieces of silver hero equipment; as for items, there were a little more than eleven hundred, all of which he packaged and placed into his Spatial Backpack.
While the harvest was not insignificant, the quality left much to be desired. For Zi Liyuan, this loot was just enough for two trades with old Huang.
The Great Xia Empire had a multitude of soldiers, and even the most rubbish silver hero equipment could enhance their strength.
Anyway, Lord Zi had checked the inventory of the capital's military district, there were not many silver hero pieces there; old Liu said that every month, silver or higher quality equipment would be provided to the warriors for an overhaul.
The military of the Great Xia Empire made sure to utilize everything to its fullest; high-quality equipment once fielded would enhance the warriors' strength and better protect the country.
One could only say that the Great Xia Empire's scope was countless times higher than that of the Gao Yao Nation.
Just as Lord Zi was preparing to select some of the remaining supplies, the entire military base shook as if there was an earthquake.
The protective barrier that had just been erected by the Wraith Mages showed violent ripples, and a meteor shower rained down from the sky, crashing onto the military base.
Each falling meteor that struck the barrier caused huge waves, and the strong energy was channeled and released into the ground.
The recent tremors were caused by the attack on the protective barrier.
Zi Liyuan's Spirit unfolded, and simultaneously, the "Elemental Map" and "Death's Eye" skills were activated.
In his mind, images of twelve Wokou Fourth Order Peak experts immediately appeared.
"So fast, Edward, speed up, some basic resources—if we can't carry all, set fire to them for me!"
How could I, having gone through great lengths to seize this Wokou base, leave anything for those little devils?
I'd rather destroy it than leave even a trace for the Wokou!
"Wraith Mage King, how long can this barrier hold?"
Lord Zi quickly found the Wraith Mage King who was infusing the barrier with the energy of death and asked.
"Master, if it's just the meteor shower, even ten more won't break the Death Barrier," he replied.
Wide-ranging AOE magic like the meteor shower has broad coverage but limited damage; the real worry comes from the enemy using powerful single-target magic to puncture little holes in the barrier.
The implications of the words of the Wraith Mage King were naturally understood by Zi Liyuan.
"Divide three hundred Wraith Mages into three teams of a hundred each, collectively cast spells to attack this group of Wokou elites, and don't let them focus their efforts to break the barrier easily."
From the beginning, there was no intention of defending this location to the death; as long as these Wokou didn't break in, a major disaster could be averted.
"Hydra Monster, I want a magical bombardment, don't let them have time to focus on attacking the barrier."
"Roar!"
The Epic Beast, which had nearly exterminated the Wokou in the military base, immediately obeyed Lord Zi's command and began bombarding the Wokou elites in the sky with various spells.
The elite Fourth Order Peak fighters that could be dispatched were surely not of weak strength.
The twelve Wokou were very clear in their roles.
Four were erecting protective measures, enduring various magical strikes; four began attacking the protective barrier, preparing to break through a hole to kill their way in, and the last four stood guard, ready to deal with any sudden situations.
"If I could bring the Spectral Dragon Legion over here, I'd really like to wipe out these twelve Wokou."
Though Zi Liyuan currently had ten epic beasts plus the Spider Queen, the Face-Spider, and Lao Tie at his side, with top-tier combat power at hand, he was still at a disadvantage against the twelve Fourth Order Peak Wokou.
After all, the ranks of these trump cards in his hand were all held back by him, remaining at Third Order Level 80.
If any had reached Fourth Order Level 100 Peak, Lord Zi would have charged out and exterminated all these Wokou without exception!
