God-level Hero
Chapter 1401 - 1304: Ambushing Hell’s Caravan
As Da Fei joked, Selvia came over: "Captain, Lamia has sent the latest intelligence. The Shadow City Lord has already ordered a city-wide alert, and has started to reinforce the city’s garrison troops from the Abyss, as well as setting up a city defense barrier. Within the barrier, our Flying will not be able to teleport freely. And there are slight signs that the Shadow City Lord may have been injured."
Da Fei was taken aback: "A barrier? Injured?"
The Third Elder laughed: "These are all inevitable outcomes, right? Just not sure if the Sindaga City you intend to attack will also step up its vigilance because of this."
That’s right! If seizing a city is a one-time deal, then I must do my homework thoroughly. Da Fei instructed, "Reply to Lamia and see if she can teleport to Sindaga City to scout the situation. If not, continue to infiltrate Shadow City to investigate the city lord’s injury." That’s right, the thought of an injured Demon King-level figure intrigued Da Fei.
Selvia nodded: "Understood."
With a new major goal, Da Fei had no interest in counting his temporary spoils of war. He returned to the captain’s room, fully focused on the next battle.
Lamia’s efficiency was very high, and Selvia soon came back to report: "Captain, Lamia brings news that the unusual changes in Shadow City immediately alarmed the other seven Hell Cities. All the Hell Cities are now on full alert and have begun setting up defense barriers, especially Sindaga, which is a significant resource hub and has gathered many strong forces. So Lamia advises the captain not to attack lightly. Moreover, Lamia stated she could attempt covert sabotage within the enemy city and asks for the captain’s guidance on where to sabotage."
Da Fei frowned, realizing this was equivalent to alerting the enemy. Indeed, robbing like this is only easy the first time. In such situations, Lamia’s role as a spy behind enemy lines becomes even more crucial, and rash actions should be avoided.
Without a firm decision, Da Fei replied, "Let her continue to gather intelligence in Shadow City for now, and do not expose herself."
"Understood."
What next? Is the only option to harass the outskirts of the city, or should I boldly breach the barrier and "summon" the God of Wine to break it? But if it fails and I can’t escape, wouldn’t I be doomed? For a moment, Da Fei was deep in thought.
Just then, Da Fei’s radar burst with red light, followed by the Third Elder’s voice: "Warrior, a large Hell Corps is spotted up ahead; remain on alert!"
Looking at the vast red cloud in the distance on the radar, Da Fei felt a mix of admiration and frustration. The Third Elder’s warning range was astoundingly far, making Da Fei’s proud God-level Reconnaissance Technique and various class bonuses seem insignificant. In any case, send the Blood Eagle to scout ahead immediately.
Soon, the Blood Eagle reached the target site, and saw a massive Hell Army marching underground like a fiery flood, with no end in sight! My goodness! This scale, wouldn’t it be the ten-thousands Hell Army that was surrounding me just now?
Quickly, the Blood Eagle spotted a conspicuous giant drilling machine in the convoy, followed by an enormous fleet of over a hundred transport trailers. The faint black light on the convoy clearly revealed the answer to Da Fei: Indeed, not only are we surrounded, but they also mined the rest of the ores and are happily heading back to the city!
"Rob them!"
As Da Fei pondered the next attack target, this delivery right at the doorstep was an unexpectedly nourishing treat! Moreover, during the plundering process in Shadow City, Da Fei gained increasing confidence in dealing with ground troops. Even if the opponent has a hundred thousand troops, what can they do to me? This is an alien’s technological advantage against Earth’s people!
The next moment, the Sky Ship teleported directly above the convoy, opening all side cannon doors and raining arrows down onto the convoy, instantly clearing the escorting enemy troops around it!
However, the enemy quickly reacted, with countless sparks exploding from the military formation. The next moment, sparks also erupted on the deck of the Flying, and among the sparks, hundreds of seventh-level Great Demons teleported in, tightly packed together.
They were immediately greeted by a heavy blow from Ror leading the Angel Army! With Da Fei’s divine attack bonus, these Great Demons didn’t even have time to fully manifest from their teleportation before collapsing with a wretched howl! Their bodies were instantly swept away by vines magically extending from the deck.
Da Fei laughed: "A feast long missed!"
The landing of Great Demon teleportations continued endlessly, while the ground’s long-ranged forces rushed beneath the Sky Ship, firing a dense barrage of flame at it. Countless "-1" damage points erupted from the Flying’s underside. Da Fei acutely felt the shock of ants biting an elephant!
Da Fei could easily teleport the Sky Ship to evade their attacks, picking off their heroes at will. But Da Fei didn’t want to move this time. First, the Sky Ship needed rest and resupply after multiple teleports. Second, Da Fei worried that if the Flying vanished, the transport convoy would scatter and flee, making it a hassle to find them later. Moreover, if he retreated, the enemy corpses wouldn’t be gathered, and might even be sacrificed by Great Demons on the spot, leading to another troublesome loss.
So this time, Da Fei decided to leverage the air fortress advantage and face them head-on!
The battle dragged on relentlessly for ten minutes, with corpses piling into a mountain at the base of the Sky Ship, and the number of Great Demons, as high-level troops, was limited. When the Great Demons and long-range units were all dead, the enemy had no more counterattack capability.
At this point, the enemy made the most logical and correct decision, with various heroes abandoning the convoy and scattering in retreat.
They ran? Just as Da Fei was considering whether to pursue, the System Prompt sounded with a ding:
——System Prompt: Battle Over! You have defeated Shadow City’s First Legion, gaining experience +7.64 million! You’ve seized the spoils "Special Vehicle: Hellcrusher," acquired 108 heavy convoy vehicles, and discovered a large load of minerals "Obsidian Mine"! Your Ranger Hate Strike Skill gained 46,000 hate value.
——System Prompt: You’ve earned the achievement "Victory of the 34th Campaign", with an additional 100% bonus to War Poem Skill, gaining 20 Command Power, 10 World reputation. You’ve earned the achievement "Victory of the 25th Glorious Campaign", with an additional 100% bonus to War Poem Skill, gaining 40 Command Power, 40 life, and 20 World reputation. Your Silena Earth God Sect reputation increased by 76,000.
...
Da Fei laughed heartily! Not only did the enemy help me mine all the ores, but they also gifted me a mining machine, I can never have too many mining machines now.
So there’s nothing more to say; those low-level units, even though they still number in the tens of thousands, are not worth my time to chase. Now is the time to quickly haul everything away. Of course, there’s also the bodies; the Hell Race’s ranged troops’ bodies are premium goods not to be missed. Let Nasir out to feast together! (To be continued.
