548 Chapter 548-! bloody battle to the end, with! good cause
“Bang!”
After a muffled gunshot, a non-human cultivator at the forefront fell forward, and blood quickly spread from his head.
After twitching unconsciously twice, the foreign cultivator stopped moving.
After another gunshot, blood spurted out of the chest of a foreign cultivator. He stretched out his right arm with a twisted face and knelt on the ground.
The non-human cultivators ‘eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of this clean and decisive killing, and a hint of fear flashed across their faces.
The foreign cultivators were clearly very familiar with the Holy Dragon city’s firearms and weapons. This was also what they were most afraid of.
It was at this moment that the mercenaries in charge of protecting the group released their arrows at the same time. The arrows, which were wrapped in immense power, whizzed through the air and landed among the group of foreign cultivators.
This modified composite bow had extremely high lethality and was a common equipment of the Holy Dragon City mercenary group. It could easily penetrate the skull of a level two monster.
Even the old rifles used by hark were not as good as these specially-made killing weapons in some aspects.
A series of screams rang out as the foreign cultivators were shot one after another, falling to the ground.
The sounds of gunfire rang out continuously. Other than Peter and hark, the researchers had also joined the battle, firing their self-defense pistols.
Because of the strength of their host bodies, they were not as weak as they looked. Ordinary loucheng soldiers were no match for them in terms of physique and speed.
With the cooperation of more than 20 mercenaries and researchers, these foreign cultivators were suppressed halfway, and dozens of them were killed in the blink of an eye.
The foreign cultivators changed their tactics and surrounded the hill when they saw that their attack was not going to work.
While they were charging, the foreign cultivators shot arrows at Peter and the others as a counterattack. At the same time, they would throw stones and javelins.
The strength of cultivators was extremely great. Even though Peter and the others were looking down from above, they were still injured by these attacks. In a short time, more than ten people had their heads broken and blood flowing.
Because the enemies were scattered, the attacks of Peter and the others also became scattered. They had just suppressed the attacks on this side, but the enemies on the other side came up again, making them tired of dealing with them.
Seeing that another four or five enemies were approaching, the middle-aged mercenary captain beside Peter shouted and threw out a grenade. These foreign cultivators were bloodied and fell to the ground. No one knew if they were Dead or Alive.
At this moment, the middle-aged mercenary leader had already used up all his arrows, so he simply threw away his compound bow and pulled out his sword, ready for a close-combat battle.
The other cultivators followed suit and formed small combat teams with determination. They protected the researchers and looked coldly at the approaching enemies.
Pete and hark had also run out of bullets. They looked at each other and laughed. They unsheathed their swords and faced the enemies without fear.
Even the researchers who had been cooperating with the battle earlier had drawn their military sabers without any sign of backing down.
The foreign cultivators who were rushing up the hill immediately became cautious and slowly surrounded the group.
A cornered beast would still fight. The more desperate an enemy was, the more terrifying their combat power would be. Therefore, they had to be careful.
In the previous charge, close to a hundred foreign cultivators had been killed. However, they still had the advantage in numbers against the Holy Dragon city’s people, who only had a few dozen people.
It was only a matter of time before everyone from the Holy Dragon City was surrounded and killed.
Just now, the Holy Dragon City only had the advantage in weapons. The next step would be close combat. These foreign cultivators were not afraid of any enemy.
“Kill!”
Following the middle-aged mercenary leader’s roar, the two sides immediately began to fight. As the White blades flew, people screamed and fell to the ground.
Because the Holy Dragon City had undergone professional training, they had always maintained a small Combat team that was not scattered. They had barely blocked the enemy’s attack, but everyone was already bathed in blood.
“Go to hell!”
kill! a researcher living in the body of the mother tree shouted, and a piece of wild grass flew up from the ground, turning into countless sharp arrows and shooting at the enemy!
A few of the foreign cultivators were caught off guard and were instantly riddled with bloody holes as they let out miserable shrieks.
No one had expected this researcher to communicate with the mother tree and become a cultivator of the mother tree!
Peter and the middle-aged mercenary leader looked at each other and immediately protected the researcher in the middle to ensure that she would not be hurt.
Meanwhile, the other researchers were performing extremely sharp saber techniques and were locked in a stalemate with the foreign cultivators. It was clear that their skills were far beyond everyone’s expectations.
But even so, Peter and the others were still at a disadvantage. More than a dozen people had already fallen to the ground, their bodies soaked in blood.
If they didn’t wait for help, they would probably be surrounded and killed by the enemy in a few minutes. They might even be captured and humiliated!
Just as Peter was in despair, a silver light suddenly flashed in the distance. Immediately after, a spherical aircraft appeared in his field of vision, appearing above the hillside like lightning.
In fact, he wasn’t the only one who saw the ball. The foreign cultivators also noticed the ball, and the battle paused slightly.
Just as everyone was wondering about the origin of the ball, the bottom of the ball floating in the sky opened up and suddenly revealed something like a gun muzzle.
A sense of danger struck him. Then, a light flashed, and a blade-wielding non-human cultivator’s body trembled. Following that, a fist-sized black hole appeared.
Before the body of this foreign cultivator could fall, two more red lights flashed and two other foreign cultivators beside him were killed at an astonishing speed!
“Not good, these are Holy Dragon city’s reinforcements!”
The foreign cultivator didn’t know what this ball was, but he knew it must be extremely powerful. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to kill three of his companions in an instant.
Since things had come to this, they definitely could not kill the Holy Dragon City. It was better to escape as soon as possible.
Thinking up to this point, the leader hidden among the foreign cultivators sent out a secret signal, and everyone scattered in all directions.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they ran, they were not as fast as the killing speed of the ball. It spun back and forth in the air, shooting out beams of red light. Almost every attack could take a life.
When the round ball stopped attacking, the hill was filled with the corpses of the foreign cultivators that had been shot by the round ball. Each of the corpses had a burnt hole in it.
After the attack, the ball put away the weapon that shot out the red light, and a green light flashed across its smooth surface.
[ the enemy has been cleared. Mission completed. If no orders are given, retreat immediately! ]
After the ball suddenly let out a slightly choppy female voice, it paused for another ten seconds before it suddenly rose high into the air and flew rapidly toward the Holy Dragon City in the distance.
Just as the ball disappeared, Pete’s walkie-talkie rang. Then, at the end of the wilderness, a row of patrol cars and armed helicopters whizzed over and flew towards them.
“We’ve won, hahaha!”
Peter and the others were covered in blood, but their faces were filled with shock and pride. They hugged each other and laughed.
If they hadn’t experienced today’s battle, they wouldn’t have been able to experience the benefits of having a powerful city behind them. Whether it was that mysterious and terrifying ball or the reinforcements that had arrived in a short time, they had all shown them the power of Holy Dragon City.
The transmigrators were fine. They were just surprised by the horror and mystery of the floating ball, because it was definitely not a product of technology from the original world.
However, to those native mercenaries, the Holy Dragon city’s powerful strength had already left an indelible impression in their hearts.
When the armed helicopters arrived, the heavily injured were sent back first, while the lightly injured followed the convoy back.
However, the corpses of their companions covered in white cloth made Peter and the others ‘eyes spit fire. They wanted to immediately tear the enemy into pieces.
However, they did not act rashly, because the Holy Dragon City veterans who came to rescue them had already told Peter and the others that this matter was not over.
These foreign cultivators did not know what was good for them. They actually dared to attack the Holy Dragon city’s residents so brazenly. Once the mastermind was found, the city Lord would definitely not let them off easily.
If such a thing was allowed to happen, how could the Holy Dragon City still deter the foreign races?
When the old soldier from the Holy Dragon City said this, the killing intent he emitted was terrifying.
When Peter and the others heard this sentence, they didn’t take it to heart and just nodded in agreement.
Two days later, while they were recuperating, they heard shocking news that almost made them fall out of their beds.
After interrogating the captives, they learned that the foreign cultivators who attacked Peter and the others came from a level-four City Tower about 700 kilometers away from the Holy Dragon City. In the past, they had a dispute with the Holy Dragon City cultivators because they wanted to snatch the wild tower.
Peter’s group had been attacked, and several of them had been killed. This was the non-human city’s retaliation, an attempt to demonstrate its power to the Holy Dragon City!
Tang Zhen, who learned the whole story, was furious. After some discussion, he decided to declare war on this alien city. Five fighter planes took the lead and bombarded the alien city.
The ground troops made up of 5000 people had already rushed directly to the enemy’s area. It was estimated that the battle would officially start tomorrow or the day after!
Because of the attack on Peter and the others, the Holy Dragon City finally had a reasonable excuse to launch the military operation to conquer the Wildlands in advance!
