Master of the End Times

Chapter 416: A Chance

The Grans had stopped for a breather. They were unaware that soldiers in the Longchuan camp had already set their sights on them.

Despite his stupidity, Lei Ying at least did return with useful information—The potential arrival of the Grans.

When Qin Feng saw that the Grans had stopped their march and begun to hunt for food, he murmured, “A chance!”

He figured that this might be a rare opening.

“Gunners, carry your most powerful ammunition and come with me.”

Members of the Fengli Mercenary Troop were in high spirits hearing that.

Ten gunners and five ability users moved behind Qin Feng covered by the dark. Even the aptitude users inside the city had not noticed them owing to Qin Feng’s Dark Shroud.

Soon, they reached a highland that was about 5 km away from the Grans’ camp. This distance was the maximum range Qin Feng could use his dark ability to mask the flying bomb.

“Set up the launcher, fast!” Qin Feng controlled his voice with inner power so that it was only audible to his men.

The gunners took out their kits and swiftly assembled fifteen launchers in one row.

Qin Feng obviously thought that it was not enough so he ordered Bai Li to take out another twenty launchers. The ammunition of such launchers cost at least ten billion.

Of course, Qin Feng did not buy any of it. These weapons were found in the stash they had plundered from the Xue family.

Ever since he found success in using a launcher against the Grans, he had preinstalled all the launchers at hand and kept it in Bai Li’s space.

“Remember to immediately retreat into the spatial portal and go back to Colony Three after the bombing. Don’t linger around to disassemble the launchers. I will take care of them.”

“Ready!”

The other members nodded in silence.

Qin Feng made a final adjustment on the bombing angle, then unleashed his consciousness.

“Fire!”

Everyone pressed on the trigger almost simultaneously.

Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!

Thirty-five bombs were launched at once, which made a truly magnificent scene.

Qin Feng’s consciousness caught up to the bombs quickly and wrapped them with dark runes, which turned them invisible under the dark sky.

Inside Colony Three.

“It seems like the Grans are not going to attack today.”

“This will be the last day of peace. I wonder whether we can live past tomorrow.”

“Wait, listen. What’s this noise that the drones are picking up?”

“This is…”

Everyone who paid attention to the signal was stunned.

This was a familiar sound. The sound of bombs breaking through the airspace.

They then saw some shadows flash across the night sky. It was hard to have a clean look as Qin Feng’s consciousness and dark runes were barring the bombs from being seen or sensed.

Except for the sound, which could still travel as long as it was not in a vacuum.

However, the sound could only be caught from a near distance. It was already too late for the Grans when they heard it.

The onlookers inside the colony soon witnessed a horrifying scene.

Numerous shockwaves resulting from the blast covered an area of about a thousand meter wide.

Judging by the scale of the blast, it was easy to estimate that at least thirty bombs had been used.

“Who launched the attack?”

“Damn! Would the Grans survive such a gruesome attack?”

“This person… F*ck! Let’s move out. Let’s go now! It’s our chance!”

The aptitude users inside the colony finally realized that someone had grabbed the opportunity and moved ahead of them.

These aptitude users knew that bombs were the most effective strategy against the Grans but none of them made the call. They were still under shellshock after seeing how badly defeated Lei Ying was.

Hence, they subconsciously avoided confronting the Grans and bet their best hopes on the B-tier aptitude users.

But to everyone’s surprise, someone had taken the initiative.

Besides, it was not even a probing attack but a full-scale bombing that was intended to wipe out the Grans.

At the same time, Bai Li had activated several spatial rune equipment to create a home passage near the highland.

The fifteen aptitude users were excited and hung around to view their masterpiece one last time. Never did they think that they would be part of such a heroic feat.

Of course, this was all thanks to Qin Feng’s decisiveness.

After all, though the launchers cost nothing, Qin Feng did still need to spend on the ammo. Such a destructive coverage bombardment was glorious.

Qin Feng’s mission did not end here after everyone else had retreated. He wanted to enter the camp and check the results with his own eyes.

Furthermore, he was determined to claim the Grans’ power cores.

“Come!” Bai Li dragged Qin Feng’s arm after the others had left.

In the next moment, Qin Feng and Bai Li had re-appeared nearly a thousand meters away after a silver flash.

A few jumps later, Qin Feng could feel the heat wave. The surroundings were burning as a result of the explosion.

The bombardments had taken out at least half of the Grans. This meant that they were now only left with three thousand soldiers, and these soldiers were all heavily injured.

“Die!” Qin Feng unsheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber and attacked mightily.

“Hell Magma!”

Magma erupted from the ground and swallowed those Grans that had lost their wings. The Grans shrieked in fear.

“Argh!”

“No, I don’t want to die!”

“Help!”

Unfortunately, no one could help them. This was because, for those that were still able to fly, they had nowhere to run either.

“Decaying Rain!”

A daunting dark cloud abruptly appeared in the sky. Dark rainwater fell from it and bathed the Grans. Their skins corroded instantly once they came into contact with the rain.

Qin Feng was like a moving disaster.

“Run! Quickly!”

The Grans were utterly defeated.

They abandoned their camp and fled in all directions.

Qin Feng chased them like a madman but was unable to pin down every last one of them.

In the end, he obtained roughly three hundred fifty new power cores in his spatial equipment. Qin Feng then proceeded to gather all the loot found inside the camp and on the dead Grans as well.

To his pleasant surprise, Qin Feng even found the spatial runes equipment the Grans had robbed from Lei Ying’s party earlier.

Then, he heard numerous piercing sounds approaching fast.

Qin Feng’s face changed. “These opportunistic bastards!”

It was obviously the friction of bombs grinding through the air.
