Crimson Moon's night raid was swift and meticulous. Working with the Nidri family's private army in charge of transportation and reconnaissance, they soon left City 0126 without a sound.
While countless people were still asleep, batches after batches of fully-armed black-clad warriors crawled into the airships. Following several white cyclones, several airships took to the air and headed toward the non-continent.
Li Xiang and Dale looked down at the vast continent from the bow of the airship, taking in all the commotion.
Zhao Lingkong was in charge of the fleet's navigation and was currently supervising the pilots' work in the command room.
She glanced at Li Xiang, who was standing with his hands behind his back. His gaze was so deep that one couldn't see the end of it. Every breath he took was like a mountain being uprooted. The magic particles around him rose and fell with his breathing, adjusting themselves to his rhythm.
This was a sign of top-notch control over magic particles.
This brat is becoming more and more terrifying. Dale thought to herself. Not only was he powerful, but the soldiers and equipment under his command were also superior to most aristocratic families.
More importantly, he was in charge of the third-largest heavy industry in the human world and had close ties with the Bai, Dong Ling, and Wessex families.
Was there really anyone who could stop his rise?
Crimson Moon had begun researching airship construction with the help of Old Ghost and a group of old machinists. These airships were the experimental products, and the results were surprisingly good.
The black airships dropped the military transport trucks from the sky. The fact that these trucks, equipped with shock absorbers, could come out unscathed from a high altitude was only because of the high quality of the soldiers inside. Otherwise, what was the point of the trucks landing and killing the soldiers?
The Crimson Moon Army had trained for such airdrops countless times.
All the military transport trucks arrived safely at the landing point, but the Nidri family's private army couldn't withstand such a terrifying airdrop. They could only follow the landing of the airships and slowly move out.
By the time the private army left the airships, the two squadrons of the Crimson Moon Army had already hidden themselves in the night and moved toward the Kong family's base on Nonland. The gap between them widened in an instant, causing Dale to tremble.
She knew that Li Xiang was secretly training his troops for the battle with Owl, but she hadn't expected the Crimson Moon Army to be so powerful.
The sky suddenly lit up as an airship bearing the Kong family's flag appeared in the sky not too far away. It seemed they had discovered the hundreds of charging military transport trucks.
Of course, they didn't think that such a huge commotion could be hidden from the Kong Clan.
Dale glanced sideways at Li Xiang, curious as to how he would deal with the situation. A blue light flashed, and a beautiful blue sniper rifle appeared in Li Xiang's hand.
Was this his assassination tattoo? Dale looked at the sniper rifle with a curious expression. What happened next completely shocked her, a Level 1 player.
He raised his sniper rifle, aimed, and fired.
[Purification of All Things] was a skill that could not only purify calamities, but also players and machines. It was the ultimate purification power.
A resplendent beam of blue light shot out from the ground and pierced through the Kong family's airship.
A huge fireball burned high up in the sky, continuously exploding as it fell from the sky, splattering all kinds of mechanical parts. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the ground, smashing a deep pit.
This fireball was like the opening of Pandora's Box, the prelude to a bloody battle.
Using a sniper rifle to blow down an airship?! Was this rifle a calamity weapon?
Dale shuddered. Even if Li Xiang hadn't officially started his player cultivation, with his talent, he would be able to complete the early stage of his advancement in less than a month. At that time, he would be a Level 1 player like her.
At least, there wouldn't be any fundamental difference.
Whether or not one had a suitable calamity weapon would determine the outcome of a life-or-death battle between players of the same level.
Dale, who had been full of confidence and thought that even if she couldn't kill Li Xiang, she wouldn't lose. However, at this moment, a huge sense of danger rose in her heart.
Could she really win against him?
Since the beginning of human development, with the rise of Wessex and the birth of a genius like Duke Silo, the mechanical industry had developed rapidly. It had the momentum to stand shoulder to shoulder with the players. Among them, the most popular was the development of large-scale machinery, city defense facilities, and mechanical transportation.
Any super base belonging to an aristocratic family would be equipped with high-quality city defense facilities, which were a trinity of defensive structures for land, air, and sea battles.
At this moment, the Kong family's base was under siege.
Standing on the high platform, Kong Fanyu's gaze was solemn. The sudden explosion of the airship just now had caused his heart to palpitate.
The ambushing army hadn't launched an attack with airships, which meant that they had used other methods to destroy their reconnaissance aircraft. He hoped that it wasn't players.
"How is it? Did the main family reply?" Kong Fanyu asked the adjutant beside him.
The young adjutant stammered and shook his head.
Their communication equipment had been jammed by an unknown line, so they couldn't contact them.
"Then did you find out who the ambushing army belongs to? Such a large army, well-equipped, and shockingly powerful. They can't be nobodies, "Kong Fanyu suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice.
The adjutant didn't even have time to shake his head before he was sent sprawling with a punch.
"Idiot! You don't know this, you don't know that. Did I raise you for nothing? " Kong Fanyu was furious. It hadn't been easy for him to accumulate enough merit points to obtain the rights to this super base from the main family, but he had been targeted after just a few days!
Could it be that the main family was jealous of him?
No, that couldn't be. He was the only son of Major General Kong Mu. Even if his mother didn't have any status, there was no doubt about her bloodline. Furthermore, the Kong family had been nurturing him greatly. In order to prevent him from going up against Li Xiang, they even made him give up on this player assessment.
Although he didn't think that he would lose, it was better for him to admit defeat for a period of time.
Who was it that dared to go against him so openly?
Those idiots in the main family didn't have the guts or the strength to do so.
From the attacks of the enemy army, it was obvious that they were a well-trained super army with shocking combat strength. If the defensive fortifications were breached, everything would be over.
"Take my armor." Kong Fanyu knew that he couldn't wait any longer. The enemy's relentless attacks and methods of cutting off all communications meant that they wouldn't stop until they took down this super base.
He needed to use battle to teach them a lesson and let them know what war was.
"Yes!" The adjutant struggled to get up and quickly went to prepare.
Not far away.
Li Xiang looked into the distance. At the end of his vision, countless black-clad warriors formed a vanguard, bravely advancing against the cannon fire of the fortifications. At this speed, they would soon reach the fortifications and destroy all the annoying devices. Then, it would be time for the close combat.
At this moment, a legion under the banner of the Kong family poured out of the sealed fortress.
"This Kong Fanyu is quite capable. He actually has the resources to form a private army." Dale chuckled. "Looks like it's not just mercenaries. There should be quite a number of the Kong family's own elite warriors. There should be about 10,000 of them."
The Crimson Moon Legion had only sent out two squadrons of 200 people.
Two hundred against 10,000?
That was a difference of 50 times.
However, the black-clad warriors weren't afraid at all. Instead, they met the Kong family's private army head-on.
The battle was instantly ignited.
Seeing the number of his opponents, Kong Fanyu revealed a sinister smile. How dare they invade his territory with so few people?
But soon, the Crimson Moon Legion gave him a head-on blow.
The legion made up entirely of magic users didn't suffer any casualties from the cannon fire. In the instant of the close combat, hundreds of magic spells were thrown out at the same time. The momentum was so great that even Kong Fanyu was shocked.
The mercenaries at the front didn't even have time to scream before they were torn into pieces one by one.
The two squadrons were made up of 20 squads. Their fighting style was unyielding, and their teamwork was flawless. Slaughtering the private army was as easy as chopping vegetables.
However, the huge difference in numbers caused them to gradually fall into a bitter battle. But soon, the Nidri family's private army arrived to support them.
Seeing the new army appearing all over the mountains and plains, Kong Fanyu, who was in high spirits from the killing, immediately withered.
Their advantage in numbers was no longer there. The Kong family's private army was forced to retreat, and Kong Fanyu was the first to run back into the fortress.
As long as they could return to the base and delay until dawn, they might be able to stop the attack.
The Kong family would send a supply team to deliver supplies every day. Whether or not they could spread the news, the Kong family would be alerted if the supply team couldn't return on the same day.
Moreover, he would report the situation of the base to his family every day.
"Close the door! Close the door! "Kong Fanyu roared.
In the middle of the battlefield, a black god of war was charging forward like a hot knife through butter. Wherever he passed, the Kong family's private army would be forcefully torn apart. No matter who it was, they couldn't resist at all.
Zhao Lingkong shuttled through the crowd, killing anyone he saw. He wouldn't let anyone in front of him go. His target was obviously Kong Fanyu.
"It's a player?!" Kong Fanyu's mind flashed with the image of the destroyed airship. His heart trembled as he roared at the two sides, "What are you waiting for? Close the door!"
"But, but the army outside hasn't returned yet …" The guard couldn't bear it. Those were countless comrades who had been together with them. Closing the door like this was tantamount to betraying them and abandoning them.
* Bang! *
The guard's head was smashed away.
Kong Fanyu kicked the corpse away and personally operated the mechanism.
* Rumble! *
The steel door slowly fell.
Hearing the loud noise behind them, the private army that was still fighting felt a chill run down their spine.
Was he abandoning them?
Zhao Lingkong obviously didn't expect him to give up so much combat power so decisively. He drew his bow, hoping that this arrow could kill Kong Fanyu!
The sharp arrow pierced through the air. Just as it got close, Kong Fanyu felt a sense of danger. He instinctively picked up a soldier beside him to block the arrow.
The arrow pierced through the soldier's body and shattered his armor. At the same time, the heavy steel door fell.
He didn't kill him.
Zhao Lingkong felt pity in his heart.
That defensive armor was no ordinary item. It had saved his life.
Kong Fanyu, who was still in shock, shook off the remnants of the armor. Such a strong enchanted armor had been shattered by an arrow. The other party must be a player!
Why would a player attack him?
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Is the sun not up yet? " He struggled to get up. His chest was aching. Even his Level-3 Magician's Constitution almost couldn't withstand the arrow.
"What a pity." Dale chuckled. "Zhao Lingkong isn't strong enough. If it were me, that Kong Fanyu would be dead."
"It's Lingkong's first time participating in a battle as a player. He's doing well." Li Xiang didn't care.
The steel door was a mechanical device made of black stone. It was produced by Wessex and was said to be able to defend against any attacks from players below Level-3.
As for players above Level-3, there would usually be players of the same level to fight against them. They wouldn't have a chance to destroy ordinary combat power.
"What should we do with the door? Once the sun rises, the Kong family will know. By then, we won't be able to leave, let alone the army. "Dale looked at him curiously." To be honest, I don't know what to do. "
Li Xiang waved his hand and had the off-road vehicle speed up.
The two of them looked at the messy battlefield. This was war. It was ruthless and cruel, but it was a path that had to be taken.
Zhao Lingkong jumped into the car from the side and bowed slightly. "Sorry, sir. It was a mistake."
"It's fine. I'll take care of it." Li Xiang waved his hand.
As they approached the steel door, the Kong family's private soldiers were forced to a dead end. The soldiers in black were covered in blood, but their fighting spirit was high. When they saw him walk over, they all shouted "Chief Instructor" excitedly.
"Kill them all. Don't leave a single one alive," Li Xiang ordered coldly. Then, he walked straight towards the steel door.
Kong Fanyu, who had returned to the platform, finally saw his face clearly.
Li Xiang! It was actually Li Xiang!
How could he dare to deal with him so brazenly!
"Heh, so what if you've become a player? This door can't be broken through by force below Level-3, "he laughed coldly.
A second later, his smile froze.
Li Xiang's right hand lightly touched the steel door. The space around him twisted, and the indestructible mechanical door was instantly disintegrated!
The mechanical defenses it relied on were all turned into Origin Substance particles and burrowed into Li Xiang's body.
Now, all that was in front of him was a door made of black stone.
Boom!
He punched out.
The center of the door cracked.
This scene made Dale exclaim in amazement.
This power was too heaven-defying.
"That's a door made of refined black stone. Even if it wasn't reinforced by machinery, it shouldn't be something that can be smashed open with bare hands, right?" Dale clicked her tongue. Her understanding of Li Xiang had changed once again.
Punch after punch rang out on the silent battlefield. It was as if the God of Death had arrived. The sound of each punch hammered into the hearts of all the Kong family members.
The steel door had already been smashed inwards, and with the final punch, a huge hole was finally broken open.
Zhao Lingkong watched this scene quietly from the off-road vehicle.
"Ling Kong …" Dale swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She knew that there was no point in saying anything now.
The soldiers in black poured into the super base like a wave.
Ten minutes later, not a single one was left.
Only Kong Fanyu remained kneeling on the ground. His expression was blank, as if he couldn't accept what had happened.
Li Xiang looked at him but didn't say anything.
"My … my father is Major General Kong Mu …"
"You always say the same thing. Nothing new." Li Xiang shook his head. So what if Kong Mu dared to do this? He was determined to go against Ji Zhanxue.
His head flew up as a sacrifice.
