Chapter 421: Chapter 38: Capturing Fire Dragon Pass, Evaluation of Military Achievements in the Military Realm (6K)_2

Because this was not a spell at all, it was only primordial energy attached to the firecracker, wrapping it up.

As long as one reached the eighth grade, their control over primordial energy could achieve this. After forty-five minutes, it would automatically dissipate.

Without the primordial energy wrapping, the firecracker would soon explode in the scorching underground.

...

A quarter-hour later, Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie were the first to arrive at the underground outside the city.

The other personnel gradually returned to their positions.

After another quarter-hour, all one hundred action personnel were completely in place, without a single mishap.

"Retreat!"

Chen Shijie immediately gave the order.

There was only fifteen minutes left before the explosion, so they had to get far away to avoid being affected.

.....

In the City Lord Mansion, Bastard awakened from a dream.

The two beautiful women of the Fire Demon Clan beside him also woke up.

"What’s wrong, my lord?"

Bastard held his head and said, "I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that I died."

With the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Body Training, Bastard, a sixth-rank martial artist, had a very powerful Seven Spirits.

The Seven Spirits nurtured his Life Soul, allowing it to often merge with the Heavenly Soul and Earth Soul, giving him some premonition senses.

These senses were generally related to "rebirth" and "cause and effect."

The higher the rank of the martial artist, the harder it was to ambush them because their alertness was incredibly high.

"How could that be, we are inside Fire Dragon Pass..."

"Shut up!" Bastard irritably pushed the beauty aside, quickly put on his clothes, and opened the door, "Someone come!"

"City Lord!" Immediately, two guards ran over from outside the door.

"Go find Mechanical Master Hope. I need to check the underground." Bastard thought for a moment and decided to patrol the underground.

"Also, send someone to check the walls to see if there is an enemy army attacking."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, a distinctive-looking Fire Demon Clan member arrived. He was carrying a mechanical box and had a broken horn.

"Honorable City Lord Bastard, did you call for me?"

"Hope, come with me to inspect the underground array." Bastard said. "See if there are any issues."

"Uh..." Hope was taken aback. Why would Bastard think of this?

Could it be that he discovered something?

"What’s wrong?"

"City Lord, it’s just some minor issues." Hope’s face stiffened.

Bastard noticed Hope’s hesitation and immediately shouted, "What’s wrong, speak quickly!"

Under Bastard’s interrogation, Hope had no choice but to reveal the truth.

During routine maintenance last month, he had removed several protective arrays, including the anti-escape array.

He also skimped on materials, replacing the base materials of sixteen arrays with inferior ones.

In short, this guy had embezzled.

He thought Bastard had found out and took the initiative to confess.

"You, you bastard!" Bastard’s sense of unease grew stronger. He grabbed Hope’s neck and said viciously, "Quickly take people down to check, and fix whatever needs fixing!"

"You bastards, last month the Earth Fire Lotus was stolen, and you still dared to be so negligent!"

Hope agreed verbally but did not take it seriously in his heart.

The theft of the Earth Fire Lotus, what did that have to do with him?

Were you not also playing around all day?

But he quickly called for people and led Bastard down the special passage to the underground.

After not diving down for long, Bastard’s sense of unease grew stronger.

But when they reached the place, this feeling reached its peak!

"Hmm? What’s that?"

Underground, Bastard immediately saw the clusters of faint golden light floating beside the underground array.

The people around Hope also followed his gaze.

One look, and Hope’s soul almost left his body.

"Th-Th-That’s..." Hope was already too scared to speak, his hands and feet soft.

Bastard grabbed Hope. "You bastard, explain clearly!"

The others started screaming:

"Oh my god, that’s a fifth-tier firecracker!"

"So many, and they are about to explode!"

"Run!"

"What?!"

Bastard turned to look.

He saw the first golden light go out.

"Boom!"

The strong explosion instantly shattered the surrounding rocks.

"Oh~" The dragon head that was absorbing the earth fire was blown off a corner.

Following that, the second, third, fourth... thousands of golden lights went out.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A blinding light appeared before Bastard’s eyes.

Then, his consciousness plunged into darkness.

....

Pang Guangyao stood in the forest, observing Round Moon City in the distance.

He knew little about the Minister of Agriculture and didn’t know what this specialty of Great Zhou and firecracker was.

He only knew that "Xia Jing" had gone to Round Moon City with one hundred men, leaving the army here.

"Isn’t he being a bit too reckless?"

"Does he think he can take Round Moon City with just a hundred men?"

"To avoid leaking information, shouldn’t three thousand men attack together to minimize the chance of detection?"

"Is he really Xia Jing?"

Pang Guangyao was full of doubts.

But at this moment, "Xia Jing" returned with his men.

"Princely Heir..." Pang Guangyao couldn’t help but ask.

"All troops, retreat! Retreat!" Chen Shijie shouted!

But at this time, the ground began to shake.

"Boom~"

"Boom, boom~"

"Shiver, shiver~" The trees in the forest also shook continuously.

The ground began to shake violently, and Pang Guangyao watched the distant earth bulge into a small hill.

"Crack, crack, crack~" Not far away, a crack several kilometers long suddenly appeared.

"What’s going on?" Pang Guangyao’s heart skipped a beat.

He hurriedly flew up.

Then, he saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

"Boom!"

In the distance, Round Moon City flew into the air!

Yes, it flew into the air.

It suddenly rose over a hundred meters!

Like a city engulfed in flames!
