Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, Wang Yu hurriedly ran in from outside and came to Luo En’s side. He said in a panic, his face full of anxiety and unease.

Looking at the flustered Wang Yu, Luo En slowly said, “What’s the matter!”

After Wang Yu had calmed down for a while, he anxiously replied, “City Lord, there are… there are many mutated bats coming towards the marketplace!”

Upon hearing this, Luo En stood up from his chair and turned on the large screen in front of him. He pulled his gaze away to the distance.

Instantly, the mutated bats, which had blotted out the sky, appeared on the big screen.

Looking at the dense mass of mutated bats on the big screen, Luo En stroked his chin and said calmly, “Don’t panic! There are so many mobile cities here. Let’s wait and see!”

Then, he stared at the dark mass of mutated bats. He found that the mutated bats were exactly the same as the ones he had encountered before on the giant turtle. Hence, the giant turtle should also be appearing.

As expected, when the mutated bats in the sky came closer and closer, the ground suddenly shook. Sand and stones flew, followed by a deafening roar. Everyone held their heads, covered their ears, and looked into the distance in confusion.

A massive creature appeared in everyone’s sight!

It was the giant turtle that Luo En had encountered not long ago! At this moment, the giant turtle was roaring and pouncing towards the marketplace. Mutated bats were constantly flying out from its body, swarming towards the marketplace like the black mass of mutated bats in the sky.

“City Lord! What should we do? What’s that thing? It’s so scary!” A man was speaking anxiously to the figure in front of him.

City Lord Chi Huang was not frightened by the scene in front of him. He replied calmly, “What’s the worry? There are so many mobile cities here. Why would we be afraid of that thing? Let’s wait and see!”

After saying that, he looked at the giant turtle in the distance with a serious expression. Although he had said that he was not afraid, he still felt a little anxious in his heart. Other people in the city might not know that giant monster, but he was very familiar with it.

That massive creature was a giant turtle! With its powerful defense, only the large mobile cities had the ability to kill it. As for them, it would have been good if they could just escape this giant turtle in front of them.

Of course, he still had to remain calm on the surface. Once he showed a panicked expression, the entire mobile city would panic.

Similar scenes were playing out in the other mobile cities.

“Fire!”

“Fire!”

…..

As the giant turtle and the dense mass of mutated bats in the sky approached the marketplace, someone had first shouted to fire. And the other city lords also followed suit and gave orders to fire.

Luo En too gave the same order.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a series of explosions, the cannons of twenty plus small mobile cities and a few medium mobile cities shook. Shells were fired one after another; they tore through the sky and rushed towards the mutated bats in the sky.

The shells bombarded the dense mass of mutated bats in the sky. Immediately, black mushroom clouds rose from within. The carcasses of the mutated bats fell like dumplings; the initial estimate was that there were thousands of them. However, to the black mass of mutated bats in the sky, this was just a drop in the bucket!

A hole immediately appeared in the area where the shells had struck. However, that area was quickly filled up by the endless number of mutated bats.

The mutated bats could not feel any pain. Their eyes only had the savageness of wild beasts. Even though they had seen so many of their kind die in front of them, they still charged forward fearlessly.

“City Lord! What should we do? These bats are not afraid of death at all!” Wang Yu looked at Luo En and asked anxiously.

Luo En did not turn around. His eyes were fixed on the giant turtle in the distance as he replied solemnly, “Continue firing!”

“Yes, City Lord!”

The other city lords also gave the same order to continue firing. They knew that they could only choose to fire now, even if the impact was not great!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just like that, another round of artillery shells shot out and bombarded the sky. Although each bombardment could kill thousands of mutated bats, new mutated bats would quickly fly out from the giant turtle’s body to replace them.

The mutated bats in the sky were getting closer and closer. Eventually, they had arrived above the large mobile cities and were swooping down at the residents of the mobile cities.

The residents in the cities were also very smart. They used various buildings as cover to avoid the attacks by the mutated bats.

After the mutated bats had dodged the shells, they recklessly tore at the residents of the cities. Everyone screamed in panic, and their shouts became enjoined.

At once, all the large mobile cities suffered heavy losses.

The gunners aimed their cannons at the mutated bats above the mobile cities. Aim! Fire!

However, the mutated bats were very fast and nimble. They kept dodging the incoming shells. Some of them were hit and killed by the shells, but those were pitifully few.

As time passed, more and more mutated bats swooped down.

After rounds of bombardment, the people also discovered that the mutated bats had come from the giant turtle in the distance. If they could lure the giant turtle away or repel it, the problem would be solved.

But there was another problem now. Who would lead the giant turtle away or force it back?

All the city lords looked toward the three medium mobile cities at the center of the marketplace. The shells of the small mobile cities could not pose any threat to the giant turtle. Only the shells of medium mobile cities could cause damage to the giant turtle.

The city lords of the three medium mobile cities had no choice. Although their mobile cities could flee at a speed 150 kilometers per hour, with so many mobile cities present, if they had fled, the reputation of their mobile cities would be tarnished. They could only choose to be the ones to lure or repel the giant turtle!

“City Lord Bai!”

“City Lord Chi!”

“City Lord Dong!”

The three of them looked at each other and nodded. Then, the three mobile cities drove out of the marketplace, under the gaze of the other city lords, and came within a thousand meters of the giant turtle.

The giant turtle looked at the three mobile cities in front of it and immediately let out a furious roar.

“Fire!”

The three city lords looked at the giant turtle and ordered in unison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang out, and the giant turtle retracted its limbs into its shell when it saw the artillery shells coming at it. It hid in its shell while the shells bombarded the giant turtle’s shell at a rapid speed.

Explosions rang out incessantly. Although there were a few shells that had left only a few shallow marks on the turtle shell, there were also shells that trailed closely behind the giant turtle’s limbs and rammed into them.

The giant turtle stretched out its head in pain and roared towards the sky. Then, it swung its giant flippers and pounced towards the three mobile cities.

The three city lords naturally could not just sit there and wait for death. They steered their mobile cities and avoided the giant turtle’s attacks nimbly. As they dodged, they also aimed and fired!

After a few rounds of attacks, a spurious amount of bright red blood flowed out from the giant turtle’s body. The blood flowed down like a waterfall, dyeing the ground red. When the mutated bats in the sky saw the bright red blood on the ground, they became even more crazy and ferocious.

The mutated bats on the giant turtle’s body were also aroused. They were all attracted by the blood and flew into the air, swooping down fiercely on the mobile cities below.

The mobile cities below were not to be outdone, they also attacked the mutated bats.

But as time passed, the three medium mobile cities fighting the giant turtle gradually could not hold out any more. The twenty plus small mobile cities not far away were also barely holding out. If this continued, they would sooner or later be exhausted to death.

“City Lord! We can’t hold out much longer! Why don’t we escape? There’s no need to hold out here!” At this moment, within the Red Brilliance City, a man looked anxiously at the person in front and said.

The person in front did not respond. After a moment of thought, he sighed and muttered, “We can only do this! So what if it tarnishes our reputation! Our lives are more important!”

As he spoke, he contacted the other two city lords and informed them of his plan. The two of them agreed with him. If reputation was tarnished, it could still be restored. However, if they had lost their lives, everything would be lost.

“City Lord Chi! Let me lend you a hand!”

Just as the three of them were about to steer their mobile cities and escape from here, a voice came from not far away. It was getting closer and closer..
