A heavy tanker filled with gasoline was on its way to the Mercenary Fortress. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test

In the driver's seat of the car sat a man wearing a cap.

The man had a pair of sunglasses on his face, so it was difficult to see his expression clearly.

The tanker was very big, and it was the kind of tanker that specialized in refueling large machines. Against the background of such a big car, the person sitting in the driver's seat looked very small.

"The map of Gao De reminds you, there are five kilometers until we reach the Mercenary Fortress." The navigation system in the car gave out Big Sister Zhiling's sweet and melodious voice.

The sunglasses-wearing man held onto the steering wheel, maintaining a steady speed of eighty kilometers.

The sunlight shone down on the man's face, making his skin appear exceptionally fair.

In the distance, a towering city appeared before the pilot.

This city was called Mercenary Fortress, it was the Mercenary Association's headquarters.

The reason why the Mercenary Association had established their headquarters here was mainly because the region was vast. The ground was frozen earth, and the soil was hard. They could easily build this city into an ideal city in their hearts.

Of course, the land did not belong to the Mercenary Association, but to the White Bear Country.

The Mercenary Association had a very good relationship with the White Bear Country. Because the White Bear Country loved to fight, many of the White Bear Country's people were members of the Mercenary Association, and more than a third of the top members of the Mercenary Association were from the White Bear Country.

This was also the reason why the Mercenary Association was able to build their own military base in the White Bear Country, as well as a military stronghold.

Although Mercenary Fortress wasn't as powerful as Weapon City, as the headquarters of the Mercenary Association, he was still a terrifying city. The entire city was circular, and the higher it was, the more central it was. The center of the city was where the Mercenary Guild's office was located, and it was several hundred meters high, the entire city was covered in powerful defensive cannons, and it was said that their defensive system was personally designed by the Emperor.

Within the Mercenary Fortress, every single person was a mercenary. It was said that every day, there would be over a hundred thousand mercenaries living within the stronghold. Every single one of them were soldiers, and even if they weren't an elite, they could still fight with their guns.

No one in history had ever dared to attack a Mercenary Fortress, because this fort could instantly gather tens of thousands of troops. Furthermore, there were countless weapons in the city, ranging from pistols to airplanes and tanks.

Those who entered the Mercenary Fortress had to undergo an identity check, but normally, not many people entered the stronghold, so the entrances weren't congested. The passing traffic quickly passed through the identification to enter the stronghold.

The tanker arrived at the city gates, but showed no signs of slowing down.

The man slowly raised the throttle, and the speed of the tanker began to increase.

At this moment, some soldiers noticed the tanker.

An ear-piercing whistle sounded as the sesame seed cake waved the ban sign, signalling for the tanker car to stop. However, the tanker car turned a deaf ear to the sound and continued charging towards the city's gate.

Bang bang!

With a few crisp sounds, the railing of the city gate was knocked away. The tanker car charged into the city and started moving forward at a rapid pace.

An ear-piercing alarm echoed from inside the Mercenary Fortress.

The bystanders looked at the rapidly moving armored car with disdain.

Anyone who dared to barge into the Mercenary Fortress would be destroyed by the weapon system of the stronghold within a short period of time.

The tanker truck continued forward and knocked away the obstructing cars one by one.

One after another, chariots charged out from the side, chasing after the tanker. At the same time, several helicopters flew out from the sky to track the tanker.

"Listen to the tanker in front, stop the car for inspection, or we'll send you and your car to God!" an officer in a chariot shouted over a loudspeaker.

The driver turned a deaf ear to him and continued to madly rush forward.

"Send the fire engine!" The officer ordered his subordinates beside him.

"Yes sir!" The subordinate beside the officer nodded, then called the fire department in the city.

Not long after, the fire engines appeared one after another on the side of the chariot.

Seeing the fire engines, the officer shouted, "Last warning, oil tankers ahead! If you don't stop immediately, we will directly destroy you and your car!"

The tanker had no intention of slowing down.

"Fire!" the officer shouted.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets in the tank car tilted in the direction of the tank.

In the blink of an eye, the fuel tank of the tanker had been pierced through.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A violent explosion occurred in the oil tank of the tanker. The boiling hot oil was completely ignited, gushing in all directions. It fell onto the road, into the house, and ignited all the combustible materials.

The entire tanker was blown off its feet by the explosion and sent flying into the sky before crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Fire trucks, get ready to put out the fire!" the officer shouted.

Fire trucks stopped one by one, and soon after, water pipes were connected to them.

The stream of water shot towards the surrounding flames.

Just as the water column was about to land on the flame, suddenly … The column of water stopped.

Without any warning, the water column stopped in the air, and then it started to accumulate, forming balls of water in the air.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Why did this water suddenly stop?

At this moment, someone pointed at the burning tanker and shouted, "Look, what's that?"

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice.

Inside the tanker was a figure slowly walking out.

Within a few seconds, the figure was out of the burning area.

He was wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, and there was no trace of him having been burned at all. He did not look like he had just walked out from the flames.

The man took a cigarette from his pocket and stuck it in his mouth. Then he reached into a nearby flame and pulled out a ball of fire. Then he put his hand to his mouth and lit the cigarette.

This scene caused everyone to widen their eyes. They couldn't imagine how a single person could have survived such an explosion and then grabbed a ball of fire to light a cigarette for themselves.

"Fire!" The military officer was the first to react as he shouted loudly.

The soldiers came to their senses and pulled the triggers with their guns aimed at the sunglasses-wearing man.

Just as everyone pulled the trigger, the ball of water that had stopped strangely in mid-air suddenly turned into a wall of water, blocking in front of the soldiers.

The bullets flew into the water, but were blocked by the water resistance and stopped.

"Helicopter, use your fire swords to dry him!" the officer shouted into the walkie-talkie.

A few helicopters pointed the fire swords at the sunglasses guy.

The man in shades looked up at the sky and extended his right index finger and middle finger. He held them together and then lifted them up.

Swoosh!

Rays of fire shot up into the sky and crashed into the helicopters.

In the blink of an eye, the flames rushed into the helicopter and ignited it.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Miserable shrieks rang out from within the helicopter. Following which, the helicopters lost control of themselves and fell from the sky, heavily crashing into the surrounding houses.

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Explosions rang incessantly.

The officer held onto the walkie-talkie, speechless. The scene in front of him had overturned all of the world he had lived in for so many years.

"Burn." The man wearing sunglasses opened his arms.

The burning flames in the surrounding seemed to have received some sort of traction as they began to spread in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding houses were set ablaze, and the water from the fire engine was still condensed in the air.

At this moment, several streaks of dazzling fiery light came from the horizon.

This was the activation of the city's weapon defense system. A few of the Guided Eggs had been fired.

The sunglasses-wearing man smirked and waved his hands upwards.

Flames filled the skies, forming a wall of fire around him. These walls of fire were tens of meters tall and incomparably ferocious.

The guiding eggs flew into the flame and were instantly detonated.

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…!

Eggs exploded in the air. Powerful shockwaves pushed the flames further away, igniting the houses even further in the distance. "Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

There were flames everywhere, and the screams of mercenaries could be heard everywhere.

The sunglasses guy stood amidst the flames and slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing his entire face.

This person was none other than Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping looked at the mercenaries in silence. He didn't start a massacre, but turned around and walked towards the center of the city.

Wherever he had said it was a prairie fire!

Under his control, the flames continued to travel toward the center of the city. The flames that were capable of burning even more were like an endless supply of ammunition.

Many helicopters and fighter jets flew towards Xu Taiping, but the surroundings had long been covered in a sea of fire, even the most advanced infrared detector was unable to detect Xu Taiping's figure.

The helicopters, the fighters, and the drones in charge of aerial surveillance were doomed to fail.

At the same time, in the tall building in the center of the city.

Yegor stood by the window, looking in the direction of the fire.

Compared to the size of the city, the area burned wasn't very big, but that fire was like a plague that was constantly spreading.

Numerous houses were set ablaze, and there were all sorts of weapons and ammunition in these houses.

Thus, explosions rang out from these houses, and the ignited ammunition increased the intensity of the fire.

"This... What exactly is going on? " Yegor stood there, his voice trembling as he muttered to himself.

Although he didn't see any enemy's information, Yegor didn't know why, but he was certain that the person who caused this fire must have had something to do with Xu Taiping.
