Chapter 1200 - 1066: Extended Laws

Chapter 1200: Chapter 1066: Extended Laws

A white light streaked across, leaving a large pit with a diameter of seven to eight meters and a depth of over ten meters in the main estate’s green patch.

The entire ground shook slightly, and the remnants of bushes and trees flew around.

The Gustine Clan guards were furious at the sight, having heard the earlier warning but never expecting the other side to strike so suddenly.

They didn’t even wait to observe whether their side had any reaction.

The enemy’s warship rampaging through their territory was a major humiliation, prompting them to decisively request permission to retaliate.

The steward issued a notice to the tenants: "We plan to retaliate; do you have any further requests?"

Indeed, they could decide to retaliate on their own, even without tenant approval—this act was too bullying to tolerate!

Of course, if the tenants deemed it necessary to endure, they would also consider restraint, as currently, they were the ones in charge.

However, the steward hadn’t finished speaking when a woman from the opposite side interrupted him, "You don’t need to worry about the warship."

"If they initiate a ground attack, then stop them."

After Flower Scorpion finished speaking, she looked sideways at Qu Jianlei nearby, "Boss... is this really the case?"

"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded, and the next moment, he released a wave of Spiritual Power.

In the energy fluctuation of the Five Elements Battle Array’s force field, a slight energy fluctuation instantly formed into a colorless Energy Pillar.

Next, the Energy Pillar swiftly struck the warship that fired the warning shot, as fast as could be.

However, despite the speed, the energy didn’t feel very strong.

The people in the armored vehicle outside sensed the energy fluctuation, momentarily bewildered, "What’s this supposed to do?"

Nonetheless, as they chose to retaliate, it gave their side a reason to continue attacking, "Three rounds of volleys!"

The three rounds of volleys were still primarily a deterrent, though they carried some damage.

If the other side continued to be tactless, the next step would be full-force free attack.

However, on the attacked warship, an earth-shattering alarm sounded.

"Warning, experiencing a super strong energy attack, pro..."

The warning voice wasn’t even finished before the entire warship exploded violently into a massive fireball!

"Damn..." The people in the armored vehicle watched in shock and awe; what kind of attack was this?

Two other warships, one directly facing the destroyed vessel, witnessed the scene and were too stunned to continue firing.

The other warship didn’t directly notice it and fired one round.

By the time they noticed, it was already too late.

Next, another Energy Pillar came, again as fast as possible.

That warship was also blown up mid-air, not because it hit an ammunition depot or something, but because the energy was just that strong!

"Damn..." The crew inside didn’t have time to react at all.

The crew of the third warship had a bit of time to respond, "Run!"

Some crew shouted, "It’s not that the energy was weak, but it was too concentrated!"

The energy was so well-contained that any outward wave didn’t represent its true power; only the hit target felt the deepest impact.

Some doubted, "Is this even possible by human power? The protective shield strength is already nearing its limit!"

No wonder they thought this way, as even the Supreme’s maximum attack power could only hit small ships.

In the past, Supreme Buckingham attacked a small fragile ship; breaking through the protective shield was quite challenging.

These crew members knew the enemy below was Supreme, forming a Five Elements Battle Array, making the situation genuinely severe.

But still, even a company-level warship with full defense shouldn’t fall in a single blow, should it?

Typically, the process should involve exhausting the protective shield with several hits and then destroying the warship.

However, there was no arguing here; the next moment, this warship was also blown up!

The people in the armored vehicle outside witnessed the entire process: in less than ten seconds, all three warships were blown up!

They were astounded, mouths agape, "Damn, can this be achieved by human power?"

At this time, everyone realized the Energy Pillar wasn’t weak, but they were fooled by the observation instruments!

"Quick, retreat!" The A-level quickly made a decision; this attack power can’t be resisted by human force.

"Inform those armed merchant ships not to come anymore!"

Armed merchant ships would face the same result; their starship’s defense and attack power were even weaker than standard warships!

Yet, someone screamed desperately, "There are still our brothers on the warship; how dare they..."

At the same time, the six Supremes trapped in the Five Elements Array were also shocked.

This formation, besides trapping them, had extra power to launch such a fierce attack!

Someone couldn’t help but mumble, "Damn, this is like a strike beyond the Supreme, isn’t it..."

Almost no one has seen a Beyond Supreme attack—it’s usually hard to even see a Beyond Supreme.

However, the Qu Jianlei team that witnessed Sante’s attack knew this strike was absolutely not inferior to the Beyond Supreme.

Previously, Sante casually blew up a small attack ship; their strike destroyed a main-level ship.

The heart of the Water Attribute Supreme was chillingly cold.

By now, he certainly wouldn’t continue to assume that the other party was afraid of the Stephen Clan and wouldn’t dare to strike.

That was the only three company level warships of the marquis family, registered with the military, blown up like toys.

This Five Elements Battle Array, its power is truly extraordinary, far stronger than anything they’ve heard about!

Covetous? Surely covetous! But dare to plot against it? Not even if he dies!

At this moment, his heart was indeed bleeding: why did he ever think the other party was weak and easily bullied?

Strictly speaking, he not only failed to understand the composition of the other party’s personnel but also underestimated their ruthlessness.

Actually, this has much to do with Qu Jianlei and their way of doing things.

They just want to live quietly on their territory, rarely communicating with the outside world, not caring about the impression they give others.

Previously, they rejected many visitors, didn’t even show their faces, and let the butler handle it.

Later, they killed those who trespassed into their territory without bothering to report it to the authorities.

This gave the Stephen Clan an illusion, thinking this team relies mainly on the Gustine family’s employees to maintain order.

——If they have enough strength, why would they let others speak for them?

And the Stephen family was somewhat wishful, believing that the Gustine family was one rank lower and therefore wouldn’t dare to cause trouble proactively.

Even so, the Stephen family still incited some nobles to harass them, considering it as cautious.

But who would have thought, once the other party erupted, the level of ruthlessness was shocking.

However, now, no matter what is said, it’s too late; the Water Attribute Supreme made a decisive decision.

He shouted loudly, "We surrender and hope for reasonable treatment, this is the dignity of the nobility!"

"Hmph," The Paranoid snorted coldly, he had many complaints but... he left it to Mu Yu.

He believed that in such matters, his junior wouldn’t let him down.

"We refuse to accept the surrender," as expected, Mu Yu answered indifferently.

"You can decide when to start the war, but you don’t get to decide when it ends!"

"You..." Water Attribute Supreme finally spat out a mouthful of blood, "What about the nobility’s glory?"

Mu Yu sneered coldly, "We are not nobles. Since you all have lost your shame, do you think you can use glory to restrain others?"

At this moment, two more company level warships rushed over from afar, a voice came through.

"This is the City Guard patrol, what happened here... is it a war?"

There was no need for Qu Jianlei and the others to react, the butler proactively used a loudspeaker to respond.

"Warning, you are about to enter Gustine Clan Territory, we have the right to shoot down!"

"We didn’t intend to enter!" The City Guard on the warship was somewhat helpless, "We just came to understand the situation!"

After all, the noise of having three warships shot down was too loud.

Not only did the surrounding energy sensors detect it, but even the satellites above sounded the alarm.

In fact, the moment the three warships launched, the City Guard was already paying attention —after all, they are standard warships!

However, since they belonged to the Marquis’s private army, unless they caused a problem, the City Guard couldn’t intervene.

So the whole process of these three warships being destroyed was fully witnessed by the City Guard.

The ruthlessness of the Gustine clan was astonishing even to the City Guard, but they were on duty and had to come and ask.

"Nothing necessary," the butler responded very straightforwardly.

"The territory was illegally invaded, and we made an appropriate counterattack, that’s all simple."

He spoke these words with exuberance; ever since the master of the house had moved away, the staying employees rarely felt so proud.

The City Guard on the warship had to point out one thing, "The three warships that were just destroyed were not within Gustine Territory."

"Extended retaliation for the attack on the sealed land!" The butler answered without hesitation, "I suggest you review the Sealing Land Technique!"

The Sealing Land Technique indeed has relevant clauses.

The noble’s sealed land is sacred and inviolable, so if someone uses long-distance attack, does the noble just have to endure it passively?

No such rationale in the world!

The three warships didn’t enter Gustine’s sealed land mainly because of the worry that once they entered, the other party would initiate an attack!

You should know there are many tacit rules among nobles.

If it’s not a friendly noble, and the warship enters someone’s sealed land without permission, the hostility is a bit too strong.

This behavior could be considered a major taboo and would not get any noble’s support.

After all, it was just a hundred kilometers away, which is completely negligible within the range of the warship.

The Stephen family is indeed somewhat clever, not wanting to leave themselves open to critique.

Staying on the perimeter, at least they could control the initiative to attack, and at the beginning, the warships only carried out warning shots.

However, they truly did not expect the other party’s retaliation to be so vicious.
