The boiling hot [Lionheart] let out a loud buzzing sound.
The phantom of the Golden Lion leaped out.
Unlike the lazy appearance it had in the past when it had just woken up from a great dream, the current Golden Lion was not only incomparably mighty, it was also incomparably real.
It shook its body and swung its lion mane towards the direction of Carlhart Military Camp, letting out a heavy, dignified roar.
Suddenly, the system's upgrades appeared on Kieran's retina like a reverse waterfall —
[Detected compatible energy, Lionheart. King's Potential has been temporarily converted and promoted!]
[King's Footsteps activate]
[Insufficient energy, King's Praise is not activated.]
[Insufficient energy, King's Dignity not activated]
[Insufficient energy, King's Fury not activated]
[Insufficient energy, King's Massacre not activated]
…
"Temporary conversion and promotion?"
"[King's Step]!"
Kieran was shocked by [Lionheart]'s transformation, but at the next moment, he was attracted by the new attribute lock. Looking at the description of the new attribute, he chose to use it without a second thought.
Immediately, the golden lion turned around and transformed into a ball of golden light that enveloped Kieran.
Then …
Even the speeding Nightingale disappeared without a trace.
…
Back in Carlhart Camp, the battle was still going on.
It sounded like a long poem, but it also sounded like a war song. The attackers' attacks were once again repelled by the Mutants' gunpowder weapons and special abilities.
Looking at the defeated soldiers and listening to the increasingly loud tone, Naiyer who was commanding the battle finally lost his patience.
"Let Chariot take the field!"
The fat and fierce-looking Naiyer said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!"
One of the adjutants bowed in acknowledgment and ran out.
The next moment, the ground began to tremble slightly.
Amidst the rumbling of the steam engines, over 20 chariots made of the toughest wood and metal appeared on the battlefield, each the size of four four-wheeled carriages side by side.
"What's that?"
Eander's eyes were astonished when he saw the chariots that he had never seen before.
Then, its gaze immediately became dull.
At the top of the chariot, cannons extended out from the reserved firing ports and aimed at the defense of the Mutants.
Then —
Boom boom boom!
Hu hu hu!
Sparks appeared on the turrets, and the cannonballs landed on the mutants' fortifications.
But that was not the end of it. When the cannons were pulled back, many thick tubes replaced the cannons. They extended out of the mouths and rained fire down on the mutants' defenses.
In an instant, the defenseless Mutants suffered heavy losses.
"Retreat! Retreat! "
"Assault team!"
"Follow me!"
Eander roared loudly. He then led the elite Mutants around him and rushed out of the fortifications.
It knew very well that if these tower-like things continued to attack, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
He had to destroy these things!
With that thought in mind, Eander and the assault squad beside him launched a fierce assault on the tank.
Not only did it have the fire of a flintlock, but it also had the burning ability of a bloodline.
But …
It was completely useless!
The bullets that were shot out could not penetrate the armor of the tank at all.
The flames that were supposed to burn were extinguished as soon as they came into contact with the armor.
Quite the opposite, the counterattack from the tank caused Eander and the assault team to fall into a difficult situation.
Not only the fire from the top of the tank, but also the flintlock rifles that appeared out of nowhere on the lower floor!
Bang Bang Bang!
Bullets rained down like a torrential downpour.
A third of the Mutants in the assault team fell to the ground with blood gushing out of their bodies.
Eander growled angrily but it was useless.
The second wave of attacks from the tank arrived.
Eander and the assault team were pushed back into the fortifications.
Feeling the tremors from the bombardment, Eander looked at the assault team members who were wounded. His heart was filled with unwillingness and dispirited!
Despair was mixed with all sorts of negative emotions, causing Eander to lower his head and pant heavily.
He was like a beast licking its wounds, accumulating its strength once more.
The assault team members around him looked dispirited.
During wartime, being selected to join the assault team was a kind of recognition of their strength.
If they were facing common soldiers, even if they were fully armed, each of them had the confidence to kill 10 of them or even more.
But inside the moving tower, there was nothing they could do.
The thick and sturdy armor that obviously went through special treatment and the narrow firing ports made them unable to attack.
The only weakness was the firing ports of the cannons but the height of 10 meters and the ceaseless fire from the tank made it hard for them to even get close.
Dak Dak Dak!
The approaching footsteps made Eander lift his head up.
He saw several other Mutants who were on the same level as him appear before him.
Unlike the other Mutants who were in a sorry state.
These few Mutants weren't just unscathed, they were clean from top to bottom, their faces even looked like they were strolling in their garden.
"Eander!
It's time for your farce to end!
Now, we will take over Carlhart Military Camp! "
The leader of the Mutants said in a rude manner.
"You guys take over?
A bunch of bastards who hid in the underground fortifications after the war started are telling me to take over?
You guys are making it sound too easy to surrender! "
Eander laughed coldly and exposed the group of Mutants' true intentions.
The assault team members around him were stunned and their gazes at the Mutants turned hostile.
"Surrender?
No, no, it's another collaboration!
The kind that's even closer than when Carlhart was around … That person has given me a promise!
Of course, you don't have to promise anything!
I'm here to inform you! "
The leader of the Mutants said.
His words ignited the rage of the assault team members. They barely escaped death and so many of their comrades fell on the battlefield, how could they exchange it for such an outcome?
"You bunch of … Ugh!"
One of the assault team members was ready to curse out loud but the moment he opened his mouth, he fell to the ground.
Not only the assault team member but the rest of the assault team members including Eander fell to the ground as well.
More importantly, the many force field shields on the fortifications had all disappeared at this moment.
"You bastard!
Aren't you afraid of the punishment from His Highness when he returns?! "
Eander reacted to the situation right away and glared at the Mutants.
"His Highness?
"How can a childish young man be worthy of such a title?"
More so, he might have died back there! "
The Mutants smiled without being concerned. He picked up a flintlock rifle beside him and hung the white flag that he prepared beforehand on top of it. He raised it high above his head and slowly walked out of the fortifications.
"Don't fire!
Lord Naiyer, we bring our sincerity for a collaboration! "
The Mutants shouted loudly.
The firing of the cannons on the battlefield paused, all that was left was the singing tone from the hall behind him.
Amidst the singing tone, the few Mutants that raised the white flag seemed very abrupt.
"Traitors!
Traitors! "
…
The remaining Mutants and humans inside the fortifications scolded loudly when they saw the scene.
Whether it was the Mutants or the humans, none of them could accept such a betrayal.
However, the few Mutants that raised the white flag didn't care at all. Each of them walked with their heads held high and walked towards Naiyer's position with an arrogant attitude.
"You guys are really slow!"
Naiyer said in a rude tone when he saw the few Mutants that walked closer.
"As long as you don't delay the lord's matters, it's fine!"
The Mutant that raised the white flag said with a smile.
"Em!"
Naiyer nodded in a noncommittal manner before frowning hard.
He looked at the direction of the hall and growled repeatedly.
"How annoying!
What kind of situation is this and you still believe in that kind of nonsense?
If that's the case, I'll grant you fools your wish!
"Cannoneers, aim at that hall and blow it up!"
Naiyer's face turned ferocious as he growled.
The few Mutants stood aside and watched quietly as if it didn't concern them at all.
The cannons on the tank started to adjust their angle swiftly.
All of them aimed their cannons at the hall.
The wounded in the hall saw the scene.
They, they chanted in a louder voice.
It seemed like it was their counterattack.
"Idiots!"
Naiyer mocked.
He raised his hand up high and was about to swing it down.
However, a dazzling golden ray exploded at that moment.
The Mutants and humans couldn't help but look at the golden ray.
