Fight openly! Fight fiercely! What Lord Jack lacked least was spiritual power. The six Adventurers frantically unleashed their ammunition! Their feelings at this moment were imaginable. The storm of gunfire was like passionate music, and the Goblins' screams from being hit were like beautiful singing.
Frantic sweeping fire. Feeling incredibly exhilarated. With unlimited ammunition, it was even more exhilarating than mowing down Zombies in the Secret Realm!
Dylan exclaimed, "I never thought it could be like this!"
Sam added, "Awesome, can't stop, the Lord is domineering, Miracle City's weapons are too strong, this move is simply invincible!"
White Little Deer urged, "Kill, kill, kill! This is the fate of those who offend Miracle City!"
"Long live Miracle City!"
"Dark Kind must die!"
Bullets poured down like a storm. Goblins kept getting hit, screaming, and falling to the ground. Although some Goblin elites climbed the city wall, they were quickly surrounded and attacked by the defending Adventurers. For a time, the battlefield reached a stalemate. Gloomy City's attacks were fruitless, and instead, they suffered heavy casualties and rivers of blood.
"How could this be?!" Bloodthroat was completely stunned as his soldiers fell one after another. He had never encountered such a situation and couldn't understand what was happening. When the poisonous mist created by the Exploder Zombie dissipated, hundreds of Goblin corpses were already lying on the ground.
"Hahaha!"
"The times have changed!"
"Old man Bloodthroat!"
Lord Jack's troops stationed at Blackwind Pass totaled less than two hundred people, yet with less than a quarter of the manpower, they managed to hold back over eight hundred combatants and inflicted heavy casualties on the latter in less than half an hour.
The biggest factor in this success was undoubtedly the six M16 Assault Rifles blessed by Jack. Unlimited ammunition! Frantic sweeping fire! These were originally just Gray Grade High-Quality weapons. But with Jack's spiritual power supply and blessing, their power was no less than White Grade High-Quality, and their value on the battlefield far exceeded that of conventional Tier 1 and Tier 2 equipment.
The M16's maximum rate of fire can reach around 600 rounds per minute. Even if the six people didn't reach the maximum rate of fire, it was close. Six guns consumed about 60 points of spiritual power per minute, and unlimited sweeping fire for five minutes consumed over 300 points of spiritual power!
The cost was not small! This was not a small number for any Tier 1 Lord. Jack didn't care at all. He was like a wealthy player spending money like dirt, using his powerful 'money ability' to inflict dimensionality reduction on the Dark Kind, causing them heavy casualties and leaving them with no hope.
Of course, such extreme firing also caused significant wear and tear on the weapons. The M16 Assault Rifle is similar to mechanical weapons. Such weapons have a weakness: due to their precision and complexity, their durability is not high. After sweeping fire for six or seven minutes, probably due to overheating and other factors, the durability of the six M16s dropped by nearly one-third. Thus, although theoretically unlimited ammunition could be achieved with vast spiritual power, the equipment's own capacity to withstand the stress must be considered in actual use.
Under this offensive, although the Goblins were not annihilated, they lost more than half of their forces. The six assault rifles continued to sweep fire. As the magic mist dissipated and the Adventurers' vision returned, their shooting accuracy increased, and the Dark Goblins' casualties continued to rise.
"Retreat!" Bloodthroat realized that breaching the city was hopeless. If they continued fighting like this, the troops would inevitably be wiped out. This was not a Human Clan main city; such a large expenditure was simply not worth it. The Human Clan had exposed its danger and strength in this battle. The top priority was to preserve their forces and switch from offense to defense!
Over eight hundred Goblins, more than four hundred and fifty died. Over three hundred crippled and defeated soldiers quickly retreated.
"Not good!"
"The enemy is running away!"
"That Bloodthroat guy wants to escape!"
"Hmph, don't worry, the Lord was prepared long ago, not one of them will escape!"
When the Gloomy City troops retreated in disarray, they were horrified by the scene they saw. A force from Lord Jack's territory blocked the exit of the canyon. They seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, including twenty-five contracted Adventurers, encompassing most of Miracle City's high-end combat power.
In addition to a dozen Adventurers in Charger, Hunter, Smoker, and other forms, White Crane Hermit, Violent Little Chicken, and Derek Carter in Tank form, Luna Snow and the Lonely Swordsman in Witch form, plus multiple high-end monster soldiers, were all here.
Charger Pig King chuckled, "Hahaha, surprised? Unexpected!"
Black Stone Hammer King sneered, "You offended Miracle City and still want to run?"
White Crane Hermit added, "You underestimate Lord Jack. His intention was not just to block the invasion; from the beginning, it was to annihilate all of you!"
"Lord is indeed brilliant."
"He guessed you would flee in panic, so he specifically ordered us to wait here!"
Derek Carter, in Tank form, declared, "I just fused a brand new Tank spirit. Today is a good day to test it out on you crippled and defeated soldiers!"
"Face your fate!" Violent Little Chicken grinned, "Not one of you will escape!"
Bloodthroat's eyes were bloodshot and crimson, letting out a muffled roar, "You think you can stop me? Die!"
As he spoke, Bloodthroat's body underwent a strange change. His muscles and bones quickly expanded as if inflated, transforming from a short, gray Goblin into a creature nearly three meters tall, growing thick, blood-red fur, and incredibly sharp tusks and claws.
"Be careful!" White Crane Hermit's expression was solemn, "It's some kind of Beast Transformation Secret Art!"
Violent Little Chicken sneered, "Afraid of nothing, let's go together, I don't believe he can defeat all of us at once!"
The battle broke out again! Bloodthroat roared and attacked rapidly using all four limbs. In almost an instant, he sent Violent Little Chicken and Derek Carter flying. Bloodthroat was a Tier 2 cultivator after all. While the Tank Zombie was fierce and violent, it was clearly no match for him. White Crane Hermit, Luna Snow, and Lonely Swordsman also joined the battle upon seeing this.
"Kill!" "Don't let any of them escape!" The other contracted soldiers and monster soldiers were not idle. They charged towards the remnants of the Goblin troops.
This battle was exceptionally fierce! Although Bloodthroat led over three hundred Goblins who were just crippled and defeated soldiers, there were still two leaders, over a dozen warriors, and dozens of elites among them. Although the Human Clan ambush was well-prepared and the individual soldiers were of high quality, their numbers were too small, and they did not have the advantage. Especially since Gloomy City had Bloodthroat, a Tier 2 combatant. After he transformed into a red-haired monster, he single-handedly suppressed Miracle City's five Tier 1 Five-Star combatants and even gained the upper hand.
According to this trend, the Human Clan troops were bound to lose. However, the ambush was not originally intended to annihilate Bloodthroat. The purpose of delaying for a while had already been achieved.
Da da da! Da da da! When the nightmarish sound of gunfire rang out again, over a dozen Goblins who were fighting were instantly hit and fell to the ground!
"Kill!" "We're here!" "Old thief Bloodthroat, face your fate! You're dead today!"
Jack controlled the Flame Thrower Tracker and led two hundred garrison soldiers to arrive. White Little Deer and others opened fire first, killing a batch of Goblins, which undoubtedly caused panic among the Goblins. The other soldiers seized the opportunity and swarmed forward, thus quickly completing a pincer attack with the ambush force!
"Damn it!" "Damn it!" Bloodthroat went completely insane, hysterically attacking the Adventurers holding guns. Although he was constantly hit by bullets, he could completely withstand them for a short time with his strong defense. He had to eliminate these gun-wielding mercenaries at all costs.
However, as he approached, a powerful high-pressure jet of flame was released. The red-haired beastman transformed by Bloodthroat's secret art was excellent in both speed and offense/defense, but he had a weakness: he feared fire. And this was why Jack did not deploy the Rocket Launcher Tracker or Gatling Tracker, but instead deployed the Flame Thrower Tracker first.
At this moment, he was directly burned into a fireball, screaming mournfully. He had fought dozens of rounds with combatants like White Crane Hermit. He had already suffered considerable losses. Finally, he could no longer maintain the secret art. Bloodthroat's figure quickly shrank, returning to his Goblin form. As the flames swept towards him again, a ring on Bloodthroat's left hand lit up, instantly forming a barrier that blocked all attacks.
"Stop!" "If you dare to kill me!" "Thunder City will definitely flatten Gloomy Valley!" Bloodthroat was both shocked and angry. He brought up his superior Underground City.
Jack sneered, "Thunder City? This Lord doesn't care!"
The six gun-wielding Adventurers frantically pulled the triggers, and dozens, even hundreds, of bullets rained down. As the metal storm fiercely impacted, the invisible barrier quickly showed cracks.
"No!" Bloodthroat roared in despair. His last life-saving barrier shattered. This local emperor of Gloomy Valley ultimately could not resist the fate of defeat. He was shot dozens of times by the Adventurers, practically riddled with holes on the spot, and finally fell down, full of unwillingness.
Dark Lord Bloodthroat is slain! The situation is settled!
