Chapter 130: Chapter 128 Scaring Away Qianhuo, Occupying the Enemy’s Three Lords’ Gold Mines_2

This also caused some buildings on the outskirts of the opposing territory to scatter.

The connected chains quickly pulled the edge buildings back to prevent the territory from detaching from the resource point due to force.

After all, the main city of this territory is built upon a gas pipeline.

"Is this the hot air balloon territory? How do we attack it? I’m afraid only my mobile artillery can be effective against it."

Ye Yuxuan had only a thousand mobile artillery under her command.

Apparently, the main force to deal with this hot air balloon territory still has to be Tang Xichen’s Angel Army.

"The mobile artillery will support the angels, just let the Angel Army break through," Rosen said.

The defense towers of the hot air balloon territory are devices that can continuously launch hot air balloon bombs, hidden inside wine barrels with miniature hot air balloons hanging above them that quickly approach the target upon launch, causing a wide-range explosion.

Much more damaging than ordinary defense towers.

Tang Xichen hesitated not for a moment, watching Rosen’s tens of thousands of water fleet constantly washing over the edges of the enemy territory before instructing his eight-winged angels to bypass the hot air balloons that were launched from a distance and delve into the hot air balloon territory to eliminate the stationed enemy troops first.

Once the opponent’s army suffered over half losses, it would be a great time to eradicate the territory’s buildings.

Faced with the sudden invasion of a massive angel army, the hot air balloon territory became a flurry of activity, with the workers on the cableway hastening to enter the hot air balloons around the buildings, unlock them, and float out to drop bombs on the angels.

However, they forgot one critical point: the hot air balloon’s attacks only harm ground units; since the angels can fly high, bombs simply won’t fall on their heads.

The bombs falling from the hot air balloons mainly attacked the human army on the ground, and the human forces began to suffer losses.

Ye Yuxuan sneered, "I have anti-air units too, don’t get cocky!"

Thousands of mobile artillery mounted a counterattack, quickly shooting down many hot air balloons from the sky.

Yet the losses of the human army were still considerable, as they were the only ones being attacked.

Meanwhile, Rosen’s Beastman Water Fleet was behind the human army, spraying high-pressure water jets to block falling bombs and divert the blast zones elsewhere as much as possible.

...

Before the forces of Rosen and the others had launched their attack.

The Bald Lord hid within his territory, deeply worried.

"Now it seems the situation is unfavorable for both me and the Flat Head. The Dry Fire’s army has been pulled back, unsure when there can be reinforcements again, likely needing a day."

"I hope within this day, the enemy doesn’t attack."

The Bald Lord self-deceived, though he clearly knew it was self-deception, why would anyone pass up such a good opportunity to attack and not launch an assault?

Just because Tang Xichen’s Angel Territory needs recovery?

But Tang Xichen’s main city still stands strong, coupled with a wealth of resources under his command; not to mention that several gold mines previously belonging to Lord Spike fell into his hands. When they tried to send troops to occupy them again, they faced fierce resistance and failed to succeed.

Those gold mines were surrounded by a number of defense towers and were stationed with barracks, with military forces being constantly summoned unless they concentrated their forces on attacking a single gold mine for a slim chance.

Sending large forces for a single gold mine was unreasonable, fearing interception midway leading to major losses!

Given their current troop summoning speed is limited by the number of gold mines, it’s not as fast as Tang Xichen’s side; plus, Tang’s forces are a trinity with three rapidly developing lords!

"Flat Head has already returned to his territory without sending troops to guard around mine—is he seeking to save himself? Foolish, doesn’t he understand the principle of mutual dependence?"

The Bald Lord had intended to visit the Flat Head Lord’s territory to discuss what steps to take next.

But just at that moment.

A sudden outbreak of war sounded from outside!

"Already here, so quickly!?" The Bald Lord jumped in shock.

He hurriedly rushed out of the main city to survey the situation from the cableway outside, only to see the laborers on the cableway quickly returning to their respective hot air balloons, while many hot air balloons were already flying out into the sky.

They were heading towards the distant hostile forces.

In the distant sky, high-pressure water jets continually sprayed toward the buildings surrounding the territory, resembling an impending tsunami with a formidable momentum.

Yet in reality, the high-pressure water guns caused little damage, seemingly designed for intercepting; the Bald Lord saw the bombs falling from the hot air balloons being washed by water jets, causing deviation in falling locations, resulting in significantly reduced damage.

Moreover, the human army on the ground wasn’t to be underestimated, with continuous attacks launched from thousands of mobile artillery knocking many hot air balloons out of the sky.

His hot air balloons were specialized to counter ground units, thus naturally weak against aerial and anti-air units.

"Where’s Tang Xichen’s Angel Army?!"

The Bald Lord was more concerned about the powerful eight-winged angels, strong in both aerial and ground combat!

And then he saw countless angels flying in from the sky, swiftly penetrating his territory’s airspace.

Immediately, they launched attacks against his hot air balloon forces!

Although the ejection devices within the territory continually dispatched floating bombs to intercept the angels, the angels leveraged their superb aerial mobility to execute rapid directional shifts, avoiding the dense floating bombs.

Though occasionally an unfortunate angel made contact with a bomb and was blown up, the number of floating bombs wasn’t large, and their speed was slow, so an explosion here and there hadn’t yet triggered a chain reaction.

Tang Xichen seemed to calculate that over time the number of floating bombs would rise, posing a chain explosion hazard, thus actively attacking those floating bombs, pushing them away with the Light Curtain effect to block the blast power outside, diligently safeguarding his angels.

Subsequently, the Bald Lord saw the Beastman Water Fleet shift the direction of high-pressure water gun fire to focus on the floating bombs, prioritizing pushing them away.

They even pushed the floating bombs outside the territory.

Momentarily, the territory’s defense devices became ineffective!

Witnessing this, the Bald Lord’s psychological shadow was monumental.

"There’s no time, they have forces that counter my territory. Even going to seek aid from Flat Head Lord now is too late!"

...

"This hot air balloon territory was too easy to conquer; did it really only take less than thirty minutes?" Ye Yuxuan said, somewhat incredulously.

Looking at the Bald Lord’s corpse on the ground and the ruined main city, Rosen remarked, "Since Dry Fire’s retreat, these two lords have likely lost morale, abandoning previous defensive gathering tactics and choosing to guard their own doors instead; yet, is this truly feasible?"

Rosen shook his head, acknowledging that even seasoned leaders sometimes fail to make correct judgments.

"Even if they joined forces, defeat was inevitable, and they’d be eliminated even faster, so they could only return to defend their territories, hoping to exploit the defensive advantages," Tang Xichen said.

Rosen nodded in agreement.

The alliance of nearly forty thousand troops then headed towards Flat Head Lord’s territory.

Finally, ten minutes later, they located Flat Head Lord’s territory.

Actually, Flat Head’s retreat direction had been observed by them, helping locate the territory.

Without a word, nearly forty thousand troops crushed it, giving no breathing room and annihilating the territory.

Additionally, Flat Head’s territory happened to be a gold mine, surrounded by several occupied ones.

The combined gold mine count from Spike, Flat Head, and Bald’s territories totaled 25.

Rosen and the others dispatched laborers to occupy these gold mines; now their development speed was further enhanced, expecting the upgrade to Level 6 Main City by tomorrow.

The barracks and defense towers around the newly occupied gold mines were strategically arranged, Rosen said:

"Let’s go, back to the territory to wait for time, we’ll upgrade to Level 6 Main City tomorrow!"
