On Earth, among land vehicles, this was a speed only attainable on highways.

And what’s more, for a near five-meter tall, thirteen-ton metal behemoth?

Boom!

Accompanied by a sky full of flying wood chips and rock fragments, the black giant crushed the Mountain People’s street barricades and caltrops.

Even the temporary fortifications built from piled cement were completely flattened, leaving nothing but a chaotic heap of ruins on the ground.

The Cyclops Giant charged straight toward its target, even smashing itself ferociously into an uninhabited house standing in its way.

With a tremble and a whirl of fierce wind, the three-story building was cleaved as if by a giant sword, leaving behind an empty swath.

The shattered building fragments were flung hundreds of meters away, causing a shower of stone rain throughout the entire city district.

—Who could stand against such a beast?

All eyes watched the black blur as it passed through half the city, filled with fear and disbelief.

Even hunters who dared to face a three-meter-tall bear felt minuscule before such a testament to civilization.

There was also the rapidly spreading scent of Fear Potion carried by the wind.

—The Terra has too many behemoths.

Truly, no one dares to block an Armor Suit, still, some unconventional methods are needed at times.

“There’s a ditch ahead!”

Someone screamed, “Stop him there!”

The defensive structures of the Independent Villagers and the Xuānfēng Sect were now effective—a three-meter wide ditch lay right in the center of the street.

If the black Armor Suit didn’t slow down and turn, it would surely fall headlong into the ditch.

And if it slowed down…

the aiming Alchemical Cannons and various conventional cannons not far away were already prepared to fire!

But this Armor Suit, just like its master,

Never abided by common sense.

Buzz—Prismatic patterns flowed along the bottom layer of the Armor Suit’s heavy armor, activating the Floatstone Device inside the Cyclops Giant.

Then, under the incredulous gaze of all— it took flight!

“We can’t stop it!

Boss, we can’t stop it!”

Villagers on the street were desperately calling out, “His speed is great, and he can switch between flying and land modes at will.

Our cannons can’t target his speed and angle of movement—ahhh, here he comes!!!”

Then there was the sound of flesh and blood being crushed by steel.

This was the power of the Armor Suit as the true main battle weapon of the Terra World armies.

Its mass may not differ from a typical medium armored vehicle, but the Alchemy Furnace Core and various Sublimation modules granted it unbelievable strength.

If the pilot was a Sublimator, this terrifying power would be amplified several fold.

“What the hell?!”

Not far away, the Emissary from Fiery Flame Land, who was also an observer of biological data around Leyan Territory, saw the black Armor Suit breaking through the successive obstacles laid by the Mountain People as if entering an uninhabited realm.

Widening his eyes, he exclaimed, “The Imperial People actually have additional Armor Troops to deploy?!

And this suit…

could it be The Empire’s new flight module?!”

Although he was just a biological observer, how could he not understand a bit about military equipment?

A clearly heavy Armor Suit capable of short-term flight had significant strategic implications.

Not to mention, certain areas that seemed impassable became accessible, and with heavy Armor Suits seizing higher ground to bombard the enemy from above, this was enough to directly crush the massive advantage of an enemy force!

How could the Rebel Highlanders, who had hardly ever seen an Armor Suit, cope with a pilot who was obviously an ace?!

But, even if the adversaries were Mountain People and the pilot was Ian, it wouldn’t be possible for the enemy to have no effective response and to allow them to rush straight to the city center.

As Ian piloted the Armor Suit, preparing to charge past a street barricade, ‘suddenly’ two Sublimators leaped out from the rooftops on either side of the road.

Karry Yamaguchi, the burly Mountain Huntsman, roared as he charged up his iron rod with energy.

His iron rod flickered with a faint gray light, overlaying it with a layer of illusory crystal rock—this was the power of his Bloodline, ‘Rock Rampart Land Turtle’.

The rocks comprising the nearby houses began to subtly shake, moving towards the direction of the rod.

If this blow landed, it was enough to completely collapse a small building, and the Cyclops Giant, no matter how sturdy, could not possibly remain stable under the force akin to wielding a small house.

If it could not remain stable, on the other side, a lanky Mountain Huntsman had already taken aim with his longbow, ready to release a dazzling lightning bolt.

The thunderous radiance converging at the bowstring was ready to unleash power enough to penetrate the defenses of the Armor Suit.

But their ambush was aimed at Ian.

So, well before these two Highland chieftains, who thought they were well hidden, emerged, the Prism Cannon on the shoulder of the Cyclops Giant had already fully charged.

As Karry intended to swing down his iron club, a blinding rush of light poured forth.

—Danger!!

The battle-hardened Highland chieftain knew all too well the essence of such a warning.

The moment he saw the prism on the Cyclops Giant’s shoulder gather flames of light, he knew trouble was imminent.

He immediately activated his protective Spirit Energy talisman, and the various potions he had taken prior to the battle also began to take effect.
