Chapter 422: Chapter 214: The Strength of the Tier Two Battle Group, a Great Victory

Seeing the grave look on the man’s face, Ling Yi said reassuringly,

"Don’t worry. This brazen attack forced the Hai City Mother Empress to commit everything she had. As long as we eliminate this entire Swarm, she’ll only have one or two hundred Tier Two Zergs left under her command. She’ll have trouble even protecting herself..."

"For the better part of the next month, she’ll have to focus on restoring her Low-tier Zerg Swarm before she can hatch any new Tier Two Zergs."

"So, we’ll be safe during that time."

The moment Ling Yi finished speaking, Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed. He quickly deduced the true purpose behind Ling Yi’s risky maneuver:

"You want to pin the Hai City Mother Empress down by the coast, so you can kill and absorb her in the future?"

Ling Yi simply smiled, a silent and noncommittal confirmation.

Seeing this, Lin Feng felt a little more at ease. ’I brought my strongest forces—the First Gene Battle Group and the Guard Battle Group, supported by the Super Fleet—partly to put on a show for the delegations from the north who arrived just as the battle commenced, but it was also to intimidate Ling Yi. After I leave, the real Zerg threat to the Jin City Base won’t be the severely weakened Hai City Mother Empress, but Ling Yi’s main body, which is about to advance to the Tier Three Middle Stage. The Hai City Mother Empress is still two hundred kilometers away from Jin City. In contrast, Ling Yi’s main body has already occupied the western side of Taihu Lake, and the South Suburb of Jin City—home to the heavy industrial base that produces the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword—is just a hundred kilometers to its north.’

That was why Lin Feng needed to use this opportunity to flex his muscles. He had to make Ling Yi understand that even in his absence, the strength of the Jin City Base was not something a Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress could trifle with.

But from the looks of it, Ling Yi’s ambitions were even greater.

It had already locked its sights on the Hai City Mother Empress.

This didn’t really affect Lin Feng. After all, this was a case of two tigers fighting. Any real outcome wouldn’t emerge for at least the better part of a month.

By then, he would have had plenty of time to grow stronger, strong enough to influence the outcome of this "tiger devouring a wolf" and once again maximize his own gains.

So, Lin Feng smiled as well.

"Well done. This works out for me, too. I need to demonstrate the true power of a Tier Two Battle Group to those delegates from the safe zones in the rear."

"After this mop-up operation, the two days we agreed to stay garrisoned here... that’s no longer necessary, is it?"

Ling Yi nodded, giving its assurance.

"That’s right. After you withdraw, just leave some Zerg corpses behind as fuel for my advancement. By the day after tomorrow, I should be able to rejoin my main body and complete the promotion."

"Once that’s done, I will head to Jin City and take you to hunt those Tier Three Early Stage Mother Empresses to raise your Level."

Lin Feng grunted in acknowledgment and said no more, focusing on using his Ion Laser Cannon to grievously wound the Tier Two Zergs attempting to flee.

As the Tier Two Battle Group annihilated the hundreds of Tier Two Zergs on the battlefield, Lin Feng not only gained more Tier Two Middle-Late Stage soldiers... but the tens of thousands of Black Spine Zergs trapped on the field, surrounded by his Tanks and the Black Tiger Armor-clad Tier Two Battle Group, also represented a massive fortune.

Lin Feng stowed his weapon, flew into the air, and bellowed an order to the soldiers spread across a several-kilometer radius:

"Holster your ranged Cannons! Use your Close Combat Weapons to sever their limbs! Remember, I want them alive!"

Receiving the order, the Tier Two Battle Group holstered their Armor-Piercing Cannons. They moved in with Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords or bare hands to sever the limbs of the twenty-thousand-plus remaining live Zergs.

To assist their efforts and make the captures easier, Lin Feng raised his Ion Laser Cannon, switched it back to Electromagnetic Cannon mode, and activated his Flying Tiger Armor’s Might of the Tiger Zerg, scattering the teeming swarms of Black Spine Zergs below.

He then fired a shot from the Electromagnetic Cannon into a clear patch of ground below.

The Magnetic Storm Bomb from the Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon could cover a one-kilometer radius on flat terrain. Aside from a kill zone of several hundred square meters at its epicenter, the spreading electrical currents only inflicted Damage ranging from the low tens to a hundred.

It was perfect for paralyzing Low-tier Zerg Swarms.

It stunned without killing—a perfect tool for capturing live Zergs.

With a few swift actions from Lin Feng, the majority of the remaining twenty thousand-plus Tier One Black Spine Zergs were captured alive.

Meanwhile, Li Ran, leading several thousand members of the Auxiliary Corps, saw that the battle was all but decided. He immediately ordered his Support Soldiers onto the field to assist the Tier Two Corps and the fleet members in clearing the battlefield and collecting the spoils.

He then turned to the various delegations inside the bus behind him, who were all completely dumbfounded.

"Thank you all for attending this observation. As expected, our battle to annihilate the Zerg Race has ended in a complete victory."

"As for now, it’s time to get off."

"If you’re lucky, you might even get to kill a stray Black Spine Zerg..."

One by one, the delegates stepped off the bus. Led and protected by Li Ran’s Awakened Guards, they walked out onto the smoke-wreathed battlefield.

Li Ran brought up the rear, walking beside General Chen.

"Please, follow me. Regarding the matter you brought up earlier, please discuss it with City Lord Lin in person. I’m sure he’ll be very interested in rescuing the citizens of the Federation."
