Novel Full Chapter 629: The Scavengers Attack the City
Outside Black Flame City, the number of gathered Scavengers ultimately swelled to 870,000.
This number was already extremely considerable.
On the city walls, all the Dominators were waiting with grave expressions.
At a certain moment.
That forty-sixth-order Scavenger issued a command.
In the next moment, all the Scavengers simultaneously unleashed their attacks!
870,000 streams of Nothingness Power violently crashed against Black Flame City.
Outside Black Flame City, a barrier resembling red flames immediately blocked this torrent-like surge of Nothingness Power.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
The endless torrent of Nothingness continuously slammed against the barrier, frantically eroding the Chaos Origin of Black Flame City.
Although Black Flame City’s barrier could block this torrent of Nothingness, if things dragged on, Black Flame City would eventually be worn down to death. This was because the Scavengers’ power originated from Nothingness itself, an inexhaustible source.
Meanwhile, Black Flame City’s energy came from Chaos Jade and the Chaos Origin of the Chaos Dominators. This energy would inevitably be depleted!
The Old City Lord’s expression was grave. This was precisely the tricky part about the Scavengers. The original plan was to wipe out that group of Scavengers midway, but an unexpected change occurred. Now, they could only hold firm against the attack, separate the enemy, and let the soldiers devour them piece by piece.
“Everyone, prepare! Later, I will trap the high-order Scavengers. You all will split the battlefield and kill the other Scavengers!”
The Old City Lord signaled to the three Deputy City Lords.
All three nodded and began to deploy their respective armies.
The next instant, the Old City Lord activated the power of Black Flame City, shooting out a Black Flame Arrow. He then stood upon the arrow, pierced through the torrent of Nothingness, and surged upstream against the current!
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the Old City Lord swiftly reached the front of the four high-order Scavengers. He then unleashed a Dominator Domain, enveloping all four Scavengers within it.
In that instant, the Old City Lord and the four high-order Scavengers fell together into the interior of the domain, commencing a one-versus-four battle.
The Scavenger horde immediately lost the commands of their leaders, and their attacks became chaotic.
At this moment, Jia Jicheng shouted loudly, “Third Legion, follow me to attack!”
On the third segment of the city wall, Jia Jicheng led an army of 300,000. They unleashed countless attacks, also breaking through the torrent and surging upstream, charging into the Scavenger horde and tearing off a quarter of the Scavenger forces.
The First and Second Legions, led by their respective Deputy City Lords, also each carved out a quarter of the Scavengers.
At this time, the various War Regiments collectively mobilized. They followed closely behind the regular army, charging towards the final quarter of the Scavenger horde.
Zhan Tian, Lin Feng, Zhou Hao, and others also merged into the War Regiments, following the veterans of the regiments as they charged forward.
A quarter of the Scavengers still amounted to 220,000 Scavengers.
These Scavengers were immediately split apart by the people from the various War Regiments.
As one of the Four Great War Groups, the Sand Dunes Battle Group was assigned the combat task of dealing with 40,000 Scavengers, a pressure that was immense.
Liu Shi’s squad was assigned three Scavengers!
At this moment, Liu Shi’s squad, besides Captain Liu Shi himself, had seven other members: Zhan Tian, Yuanhao, Zhou Hao, Zhai Xing, Lin Feng, Xuan Huang, and Ye Fan.
“Everyone, pay attention! If injured, fall back and drag the fight out!”
Liu Shi shouted loudly and summoned a banner!
The banner soared across the sky, instantly forming a faint ripple that drastically reduced the movement speed of the three Scavengers.
Xuan Huang, eager to try, transformed into a colossal mountain peak, crashing down fiercely from the sky to suppress one of the Scavengers!
Xuan Huang’s true form was originally a Chaos Island. Now, after breaking through to Chaos Dominator, his true form was itself a Dominator Artifact, naturally possessing a sealing and suppression effect!
Coupled with Liu Shi’s domain-restricting banner, they successfully restrained one of the eleventh-order Scavengers.
“Well done!”
Zhou Hao’s eyes lit up. He immediately charged forward, throwing a punch towards the trapped Scavenger. His physical body’s strength was comparable to a Dominator Artifact. With one punch, he shattered a chunk of the Scavenger’s flesh.
Although that chunk of flesh quickly regenerated, Zhou Hao had indeed caused damage.
This Scavenger, resembling a black bear, angrily blasted a claw of Nothingness towards Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao’s chest took a hit. The surface of the Seven Stars Armor on his chest flashed with a starlight shield—a stellar barrier provided by Zhai Xing beside him—which blocked a portion of the black bear monster’s attack. The remaining force then landed on Zhou Hao’s Seven Stars Armor. After being weakened, it was withstood head-on by Zhou Hao’s body.
Zhou Hao merely grunted lightly and said, “No big deal!”
Ye Fan also made his move. His skill in the sword path was astonishing. With the aid of the standard-issue Seven Stars Sword equipment, the Sword Light he unleashed was also quite powerful. Sword energy landed on the black bear monster, piercing numerous sword holes.
Yuanhao provided support from the side. He also attacked with full force, yet could only cause minor scratches on the black bear monster. This left Yuanhao puzzled. They were all Chaos Dominators who had just recently broken through, so why was the damage dealt by the others next to him higher than his?
Lin Feng, who had ascended to Chaos Dominator through the Slaughter Dao, was also frantically inflicting damage on the black bear monster. Surprisingly, the recovery speed of the wounds he caused on the black bear monster was noticeably slower.
The group focused on ganging up on the black bear monster. Xuan Huang was the controller, Zhou Hao was the meat shield tank, Zhai Xing was the support providing shields, Ye Fan was the swordsman dealing area damage, Lin Feng was the assassin applying debuffs, and Yuanhao… was basically there to make up the numbers and the atmosphere.
They fought gleefully, surrounding a single Scavenger.
Though its movement was restricted, the Scavenger remained full of vigor, keeping everyone on their toes.
The battle was extremely fierce.
As the captain, after restricting the three Scavengers, Liu Shi engaged one of them. In his mind, once he dealt with this Scavenger, he could help his teammates. His teammates just needed to hold off the other two Scavengers!
During the fight, he stole a glance at Zhou Hao’s situation. Seeing that the group could restrain that Scavenger and even had hope of defeating their opponent, Liu Shi felt quite relieved.
However, a thought soon flashed through his mind. Wait, weren’t there three Scavengers? Where’s the other one?
Liu Shi took a moment to look around and saw Zhan Tian casually toying with a Will Crystal, looking quite leisurely.
Liu Shi’s eyes widened. “Zhan Tian, you single-handedly killed a Scavenger?”
“That’s right. Need help?” Zhan Tian asked.
Without hesitation, Liu Shi said, “Alright then, quickly help me take this one down!”
Zhan Tian put away the Will Crystal and then slashed towards the Scavenger beside Liu Shi.
Destructive Power tore through the Nothingness, instantly crossing over to that Scavenger.
The Destructive Power ravaged the Scavenger’s body, completely annihilating all the Nothingness Power that constituted its form!
All that remained on the spot was a complete Will Crystal and a drop of Dominator-grade material, both in flawless condition. Zhan Tian’s control had been extremely precise.
