Gilbert shouted from inside Fort Lasberg. He himself had joined in the burning of money. He was stuffing energy crystal after energy crystal into the energy towers while mumbling to himself, "Goddamnit, one energy crystal is worth three thousand black crystal coins. How extravagant!"
The energy crystals used in the Han family's energy tower were of the highest purity and contained the highest amount of energy. These energy crystals could provide a huge amount of energy, allowing the energy tower to support the energy crystals and the energy barrier, which cooperated with the attack of enemies.
Although more than a hundred of the invading enemies were killed, the energy crystals used in Fort Lasberg were worth at least a million black crystal coins. To some small family clans, a million black crystal coins was an enormous sum. Their tax revenue and profits for several years might not even be worth a million black crystal coins.
Gilbert cursed and shouted at the Han family guards to continue filling the energy crystals with all their might. The energy towers were glowing with dazzling radiance. Not only did they support the energy boundaries, but they also shot beams of light at the outside of Fort Lasberg, aimed at Hofs and his men who were attacking the Fort.
Before entering the Han family, these guards of the Han family had gone through many rounds of interrogation. Every single one of them had a clean background and extraordinary talent. Of course, most of them possessed midgod strength before they entered the Han family.
Once they entered the Han family, with the enormous financial support of the Han family, they would first be provided with the most suitable divine weapons and divine armors. Then, they would be sent to the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation to temper themselves. After exiting the Formation, they would be personally trained by Bollands and the others.
After going through many rounds of tempering, every single one of these guards possessed strength that could not be underestimated. They had tenacious minds and were calm in their actions. They would never drop the ball at a critical moment. With them in charge of filling and operating the energy crystals, they were much more efficient than the other divine guards in the City of Shadows.
Not only did those energy crystal cannons possess incredible firepower, but they also had a long range. Under the bombardment of the energy crystal cannons, Hofs' subordinates were thrown into confusion. Many of them were struck by the energy crystal cannons and killed outside Fort Lasberg.
Every bombardment from Fort Lasberg was burning money. Using the wealth and energy crystals they had, the thirty or so soldiers on Fort Lasberg's side were able to keep the invaders led by Hofs and his men at bay.
"Spread out! Damn it! Don't you know that those energy crystal cannons have a long range?!" Hofs couldn't help but yell and curse when he saw that more and more of his subordinates were dying. He ordered them to distance themselves from each other.
Larikson and the highgods of the House of Broadhurst had no choice but to expend their divine energy to form a boundary to protect the area they were in.
Larikson and the highgods were all respected characters in the City of Gorging Clouds. Naturally, they would not hide like Hofs and his followers. For the sake of their reputation and reputation, they had no choice but to consume the divine energy in their bodies to resist the energy blasts that were falling from the sky.
The battle was in a stalemate. One side was powerful while the other side had sufficient financial resources. Just like that, the battle continued.
It was obvious that Fort Lasberg was on the losing side. The number of energy crystals they could carry was limited. They had used up too many of their energy crystals to withstand the high-intensity attacks. Gradually, they discovered that they were running out of energy crystals.
"Lord Gilbert, we're running out of energy crystals. What should we do?" asked a man who was as hot-tempered as the Dark Dragon.
"Of course we're retreating! What do you think we should do? Are we going to rush out and die?! " Shouted Gilbert, "Brothers, it's about time. Let's get out of this godforsaken place while there's still some energy left in the energy towers!"
"Come on, let's return to the Han family first. We have plenty of time. We'll take our time!" Shouted the army. They filled the remaining energy crystals into the energy towers and swiftly retreated to the Han family at the center of Fort Lasberg. Not a single one of them hesitated. It was as though they had been trained in this field before.
All the energy crystals in the area had been stuffed into the energy towers. There was nothing of value left in the vicinity. In the blink of an eye, not even a shadow of the army could be seen.
Although they had already left, the energy towers were still firing beams of light at the enemies outside Fort Lasberg due to the support of the energy crystals.
In just a short while, a few dozen of Hofs' subordinates had been struck by the energy crystal cannons. Even Larikson and the experts of the Han Family had exhausted a significant amount of their divine energy to maintain the energy barriers.
Gradually, the energy crystal cannons inside Fort Lasberg calmed down. They listened carefully and discovered that the Fort was completely silent. There were no signs of the attacks.
"Let's go in. There's no one left," said Larikson calmly to Hofs after carefully sensing for a moment.
Hofs had also noticed the anomaly inside Fort Lasberg even without Larikson's warning. But this time, Hofs was much more cautious. He pointed at one of his subordinates and instructed, "Go in and see what's going on."
The subordinate felt bitter but he dared not show it. He nodded and went into the Fort. Hofs cautiously descended into the air above Fort Lasberg. When he finally broke through the energy barrier, he shouted, "The energy barrier has been completely depleted. The energy towers are no longer glowing. My Lord, there's no one left! "
"Let's go in!" commanded Hofs. He knew that there would be no more danger for the time being.
Hofs and Larikson flew out and landed at the center of Fort Lasberg. As soon as Hofs and Larikson entered the Fort, they immediately looked around with glistening eyes as though they were looking for something valuable.
Hofs rolled his eyes and cursed, "Damn it, there's nothing left! That damned Han family, they really don't leave us any loot! "
Larikson wore a dark face. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the barrier. He let out a cold groan and said, "Now that we have entered the Fort, it will be much easier. Hehe, the Han family is right at the center of the Fort. Let's see what they can do! Hofs, don't worry. I'm certain that the Han family has what you want! "
"I can't wait any longer!" Hofs put on a cold face and commanded, "Let's go to the center of the Fort and annihilate the Han family!"
… …
* * * At the center of Fort Lasberg, the Han family.
Unbeknownst to him, layers of thick, dark clouds had strangely stopped in the sky above the Han Family. These dark clouds were very strange, as they only covered the area around the Han Family.
Other than that, the rest of Fort Lasberg was clear, and the sun shone down warmly.
Inside the Han family, chilly winds blew. Clouds of hazy mist came out of nowhere and filled every corner of the Han family. The Han family was shrouded in mist and no one could see what was inside the Han family.
"Bollands, Sanguinar, have all the demonic formations been activated?" Asked Phoebe in a solemn face. She was in a spacious meeting room at the top of the tallest building in the Han family.
"No problem. I have checked them one last time. They have all been activated!" Sanguinar nodded. His crimson eyes gazed into the distance. He took a deep breath and said, "Gilbert has returned. He should have completed his mission. It seems that it won't be long before Hofs and his men arrive. "
"Mister Statholme, are there any other unrelated people in the Fort?" Emily asked Statholme with a faint smile.
Statholme nodded and smilingly replied, "They have left long ago. Other than our Han family, there are no other people from the City of Shadows in the Fort. Those people have nothing to do with our Han family. I believe that even if Wallace wants to get rid of us, he won't be able to do anything to them. "
"We can spread the news through their mouths. I think Wallace is just waiting to be scolded," Ayermike interjected. Ayermike Cotton interjected. He felt that such a petty City Lord would never be able to bring the City of Shadows to greater heights. "I finally understand why the City of Shadows is ranked just above Hushveil City in the Darkness Dominion. Hofs isn't forbearing enough and Wallace isn't tolerant enough. Although the two possess extraordinary strength, they can't achieve greatness because of these two traits!"
"Who cares. As long as we can get through this, we will leave the City of Shadows and look for Brian. Given Brian's strength, he will surely bring a bright future to our Han family! " Statholme put on a relaxed smile and consoled the crowd, "Although I haven't spent much time with Brian, I know that he has limitless potential. In the future, our Han family will surely surpass Wallace's House of Sainte. When that time comes, we can come back for revenge!"
It seemed that Statholme had underestimated Han Shuo's capabilities. The current Han Shuo did not even need to fight personally. Just the power that Little Skull Han Hao possessed was enough to completely suppress the Sainte Family of the City of Shadows!
"I'm back. Dammit, I've used up so many energy crystals. My heart aches!" It was at this moment that Dark Dragon Gilbert's voice sounded. Moments later, Gilbert walked into the room with a pained face.
"It's alright. As long as we can get results, we don't mind losing some energy crystals!" Emily put on a faint smile and asked, "How did it go, Dark Dragon?"
"We killed two hundred of their divine guards!" Gilbert laughed sinisterly and said, "There were many who suffered light or serious injuries. Even Larikson and the others must have used up some of their divine energy!"
"Wonderful! Haha, Dark Dragon, you are really something!" Shouted Sanguinar. His eyes were bloodshot as he said, "Just you wait, I will not lose to you. I will make them wail like ghosts and howl like wolves!"
