Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460

The Warhammer Team didn’t make a move because the Group Leader hadn’t given an order. Li Zheng’s Team was happy to see others in misfortune, and they didn’t want to fight to the death for someone they didn’t know.

Even Xiaobai from Yue Jing’s Team didn’t rush into battle at the first moment to provide combat support.

"Help out!" Fu Tianxiao shouted urgently. Although she tended to cling to Tang Zheng’s coattails, her mind was clear: if their own team was wiped out, their next round wouldn’t go well either.

"Shatter the ceiling," Tang Zheng commanded, but people who had followed him for a long time knew he was just going through the motions. If he wanted to save someone, he would have struck immediately. Plus, with his and Dantai’s IQ, they should have anticipated this scene and come up with a counterstrategy by now.

"Yes, Colonel," announced Dantai on the team’s private channel, "be careful, this looks even tougher than we anticipated."

Tang Zheng indeed had anticipated it. Since the Colonel had control over the City Hall, it meant he could see everything inside the building through the monitoring systems. Facing the enemy Trojan Squad, he wouldn’t possibly just wait and snipe. The rightful source is N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

For the sake of momentum and to strike first, the Colonel’s first wave of offense was bound to be the most fierce and deadly. Naturally, Tang Zheng wouldn’t send his Group Members to their deaths. Using bait to take the hit was undoubtedly the most prudent method, killing multiple birds with one stone.

"Do you guys know which floor the Colonel is on?" While others were busy boring holes, Kevo infiltrated the Warhammer Team’s private channel to inquire.

"We don’t know, do you?" Tang Zheng and Dantai simultaneously denied it, which would be a big problem if Yue Jing’s Team overheard.

"How would I know?" Kevo quickly denied as well, but then he thought of the Monitors they’d left in the Command Center, "Could those little devices move?"

Shen Qingshuang had repeatedly failed to unlock her potential due to her calmness, but the ’Mechanical Godfather’s’ Ability was too powerful. The various machines he created were definitely efficient means of gathering intelligence.

Although Tang Zheng and Dantai could roughly estimate the interstellar Soldiers’ defensive area through the location of the Command Center, the onslaught of the Beastmen, and the direction of the artillery, the specifics and the Defense Power were beyond their grasp; they could only speculate.

The Colonel was fiercer than expected, his strength probably mid-tier Hero Tier 3. Since he was a special BOSS with a bonus, after his subordinates restrained the other enemies, he launched a wild attack on Kong Ze.

The King’s Defender’s Psychic Explosive Arrows whizzed through the air like swarms of Hornets, striking Kong Ze accurately and creating an energy storm that instantly tore his Combat Suit into pieces, with the enhanced version of the Firefly Protective Clothing starting to break as well.

The energy flow from the explosion ran wild, disrupting Kong Ze’s vision. Just as he tried to adjust and evade the enemy, the Colonel’s determined and ruthless face appeared before him.

The Colonel swung the King’s Guardian Warhammer, hitting Kong Ze heavily. Spirit Energy spurted, destroying his physique.

"Explode!" Kong Ze, who had spat out a mouthful of blood, saw that rescue was not coming and knew it was time to fight back. As a Hero at First stage, he instantly activated Hero Mode.

His body grew taller and stronger, covered in Scales able to withstand SS-Class Weapons, and his Skull resembled a dinosaur’s, appearing as if the saw-like teeth were still stuck with Broken Flesh.

Kong Ze opened his mouth, Energy Spheres gathered, forming into a Light beam spray.

The Colonel dodged, leaping forward, and as Zhang Ze turned his head, the beam of energy followed, cutting through the air but blocked by the Colonel’s Energy Shield.

Bang, the Colonel’s Warhammer slammed into Kong Ze again, the guy flipped over, his large tail whipping out as a reaction.

The Colonel extended his long arms, grabbed the tail, swung it towards the ground, while releasing Spirit Energy that rushed to Kong Ze’s body, launching a dual attack on his flesh and mind, causing him to scream in pain.

Like a gecko shedding its tail to survive, Kong Ze’s tail exploded into a mass of flesh and blood, obstructing the Colonel’s pursuit while he himself rolled and dodged.

"Rescue!" Kong Ze roared desperately, he couldn’t hold on much longer, the gap in strength was too large, there was no hope of winning.

Yue Jing finally managed to jump up, but he was entangled by the adjutant and the interstellar Soldiers. Fu Tianxiao also arrived, launching a Mental Attack, but the effect on the Colonel was minimal.

The ceiling was broken open with large holes, the powerful Conquerors were the first to jump up.

"Xiaobai, hurry." Fu Tianxiao urged, but it was already too late.

Seeing enemy reinforcements arriving, the Colonel activated his ultimate ability, numerous blue Spirit Energy formed a storm, ravaging half of the floor.

The Attacking Orcs were swept over, their bodies exploding, spraying blood as they fell, and the Conquerors also experienced temporary dizziness.

The three Group Leaders recovered the fastest, but they also couldn’t catch up to provide support.

The Colonel appeared in front of the dazed Kong Ze, the Warhammer swinging, thundering out an energy-packed heavy blow.

Before the Warhammer even struck Kong Ze, the pressure of the wind already deformed his face, his hair fluttering up, and the Blade of overflowing energy cut through his skin, blood flowing.

Boom, the Warhammer struck Kong Ze’s head, and the stored Spirit Energy rushed into his body in an instant. Like a balloon filled with hydrogen, Kong Ze’s head suddenly swelled up, followed by his chest and limbs, and then in one second, he turned into a spherical shape, and exploded with a loud bang.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, seeing a Hero Tier 1 Conqueror blasted into nothingness in less than five seconds made most people feel a deep apprehension.

Tang Zheng, Mu Nianqi, and others were exceptions, their naturally big hearts allowed them to calmly infer the Colonel’s strength through the destructiveness of his blows.

"Three Group Leaders, you take the main attack, just stop him!" Dantai commanded calmly and composedly, "Fu Tianxiao, Wang Fang, mental attack."

Li Zheng’s Sphere floated behind him, all three eyes wide open, shooting Purification Light beams at the Colonel, emitting white smoke upon contact.

"You bastards, just wait, I’ll make sure you regret this." Seeing his Group Members killed in action, Yue Jing didn’t feel heartache, but hatred for being tricked. He wanted to seek revenge on those two Teams, but with the pressing enemy, he concealed his emotions.

Yue Jing vanished, then the Colonel was struck as if hit by an invisible giant hand, rolling out.

"Everyone else, upstairs, charge, charge, charge!" Dantai urged, insisting that fighting to the death here was the most brainless method. As long as they went upstairs, relying on the three Group Leaders, they could buy time.

At this point, the Colonel would face two dilemmas: one was to continue defending, resisting the Orcs, which would allow Trojan Squad to escape; the other was to pursue, but without his command and defense, the Green Skins could definitely break through this already crumbling Defense Line in one minute. Once the Orcs flooded in during the chaos, everyone could take advantage of the situation.

The Conquerors would rather face an overwhelming number of grunts than fight a BOSS because the margin for error in a BOSS battle is very low, and one slip-up could lead to death.

All three Group Leaders had entered Hero Mode, and their expressions were grave. They had no choice; the deathly oppression brought by the Colonel was too intense, making it feel as though they were standing in front of a raging Tsunami, about to be engulfed at any moment.

"What do you think his choice will be? Stay? Or pursue?" Kevo asked Dantai, also deducing the possible moves the Colonel might take.

"Pursue!" Dantai didn’t hesitate and gave a direct answer.

"Why?" Kevo aimed with his finger at the Colonel and shot out countless beams of light, with precision guidance, bombarding him.

"With the situation as it is, the defense is bound to fall. Rather than make pointless efforts here, better to go all out to kill us. Don’t forget the orders the King gave them, those guys will definitely choose the easier task to complete. Even if it means dying, they’d want to squeeze out the last bit of remaining value," Dantai counted the time silently, seven minutes and twenty-three seconds remaining.

Kevo nodded, then he realized under pressure, he couldn’t remain as calm as Dantai.

Li Zheng, a long-range striker, saw the Colonel charging and quickly retreated, the Sphere in front of him, shooting out a white light net to stop his pursuit.

The Colonel shattered the light net, appeared beside Tang Zheng, and swung the Warhammer forcefully, unleashing a heavy blow.

A warrior appeared, attempting to block it; as fragile as paper, he was smashed to pieces. Tang Zheng drew the warrior’s sidearm-blade, stepped aside, dodging the Warhammer, and slashed towards the Colonel’s Skull.

An Energy Shield popped up, shattering the sidearm-blade, and the Warhammer grazed his head, the disruptive energy flow almost piercing his eardrums and eyeballs, causing pain.

Boom, Tang Zheng kicked the Colonel, using the rebound to leap away from him.

The Colonel went to pursue, but suddenly found himself airborne, then forcefully slammed to the ground, breaking through the ceiling and falling down.

Boom, Spirit Energy surged around the Colonel, radiating in all directions, the invisible Yue Jing was struck out, hastily retreating. He had intended to twist the Colonel’s neck, but that guy was too quick to react.

A Conqueror without Weapons and Shield is at a severe disadvantage against the Colonel.

With just a brief exchange of blows, the Colonel keenly sensed the strength of these three, instantly changing Tactics. He intended to kill as many of the invaders as possible.

Boom, the Colonel also guessed these people’s destination, consecutively breaking through ceilings, blocking their path.

The youth with the dragon tattoo was agile, very fast. He thought that since the Orcs and the Colonel were fighting here, the upper floors should be safe, so without waiting for Dantai’s command, he was the first to rush up, and now he met with tragedy.

As an ordinary Hero Tier 3, restricted by the Shield, he was as fragile as a Balloon when facing the Colonel’s strong attacks.

"Save...me!" Watching the Colonel’s Warhammer swing towards his face, the Dragon Youth screamed, but then suddenly fell silent.

Boom, the Warhammer struck the Dragon Youth, Spirit Energy flooded his body, destroying tissues and organs, and just like Kong Ze, swelled up and exploded.

Whoosh, as if a blood rain, mixed with Broken Flesh and bone fragments fell through the hole, splashing onto the Conquerors below.

Lightning, Ice Spears, Explosive Arrows, and some plant Vines, launched a barrage attack on the Colonel. Although the Energy Shield wavered as if it might collapse, it ultimately did not break.

The Colonel jumped down, the Conquerors scattered like they had encountered a hunting lion, Wei Binbai and Yu Deye did not want to resist head-on, while Queen Mu stepped forward, her arms suddenly covered in purple Scales, and she directly clashed with the Colonel.
