Chapter 2157 - 2150: Tenfold Retaliation

"Father, this is all my fault!" Although the two murderers had already been brought to justice, the dead citizens could not be brought back to life. Thinking about the catastrophe her willfulness had brought upon the entire country, Shadeer found it indescribable.

If it were possible, she would even be willing to die in place of those 300 million people.

"Princess, the dead are gone; what we need to worry about now is not just the revenge of King Zhenshan going even more insane, but possibly the entire Qinglan Kingdom’s revenge." Xiwat comforted Shadeer.

"That’s right, King Zhenshan will definitely not let this go easily. He will surely send more people and maybe even kill more people. We must prepare in advance."

Zhang Menglong said, "Now there are only two possibilities. The first, they are dissatisfied and then take more aggressive actions. The second, they’re afraid and wouldn’t dare make a peep."

"In the first case, instead of waiting to see how things develop, it’s better to take the initiative."

"And in the second case, just killing the two of them is too cheap for King Zhenshan, isn’t it?"

Zhang Menglong’s words left everyone present with unlimited room for thought.

If they made a comeback, it would certainly trigger more intense conflicts; even with stringent defense, it really would be hard to prevent all situations.

But if they were to fold their banners and stop fighting, the matter would end here, yet they would not feel appeased.

Exchanging 2 lives for 300 million, why? Does their life hold more value? Is an ordinary person’s life not a life?

So no matter the scenario, taking the initiative is the best!

"Together with King, then this..."

"Don’t worry, since I’m backing Shadeer, I’ll handle this affair," Zhang Menglong said, "From today on, I want the entire Mansha Empire to be untouchable in this area."

...

"Bang!"

The sound of an instrument explosion came from King Zhenshan’s mansion.

Just now, he had received a video from the Mansha Empire, which showed his two capable men being hung on the city wall for vultures to peck at their bodies, even with a full, uninterrupted close-up!

What’s most infuriating is that at the end of the video, a young man actually stepped on their heads and made a "yeah" gesture towards the camera, which was a blatant provocation, a slap to his face!

But soon, King Zhenshan also calmed down slowly, he worked hard to suppress his inner rage and began to consider why exactly these two had died.

These two subordinates had been with him for many years, he was very clear about their strength. Unless it was a transcender above the fifth order, even if they could not fight back, at least escaping shouldn’t be a problem.

Looking across the whole Qinglan Kingdom, fifth-order transcendents wouldn’t exceed ten, and in that corner called the Mansha Kingdom, they couldn’t even find a third-order transcendent. How did they kill his two subordinates?

"Master, it’s been found out!" A somewhat mysterious man in a black robe entered the room; he was King Zhenshan’s slave and his most trusted person, even stronger than his eight generals!

"Who did it?" King Zhenshan asked.

"It was a young man named Zhang Menglong. He is a prince of the Mansha Kingdom, titled the one-word Together King."

"How come I’ve never heard of this person?" King Zhenshan said.

"This prince has only recently become famous. He seems to be of slave origin, and with his assistance, the Mansha Kingdom defeated the Hongteng Kingdom and reclaimed two cities taken by them. Not long ago, under his actions, a rebellion was suppressed, so he got this title."

"A slave? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?" King Zhenshan found it hard to believe that someone from a slave origin could have such terrifying power and even killed his two capable men.

"There should be no mistake; there were many eyewitnesses in the royal palace, and someone even wrote a novel about it published on their Mansha Kingdom network. It’s no longer a secret."

"One-word Together King... is he a fifth-order transcendent?"

"No, he’s only a first-grade!"

"What did you say?" King Zhenshan jumped to his feet in shock; all the information before was nothing compared to the impact of this one.

A first-grade transcendent actually killed two fourth-order peak transcendents? It is neither reasonable nor scientific!

King Zhenshan, as the prince of the Qinglan Kingdom, held 178 cities as his fiefdom; in his fiefdom, even the Emperor could not interfere with any of his decisions, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was the local emperor of these 178 cities!

While thinking about this matter, in a city called Silicon Port in King Zhenshan’s fiefdom, a black-haired young man appeared in the sky.

Silicon Port was the most prosperous city in King Zhenshan’s fiefdom; as a hub for dozens of cities, it was among the top in transportation, economy, and other aspects.

"What a nice city, what a pity..." Zhang Menglong stood proudly in the center of the city sky, spreading his voice in the form of energy.

"Listen, everyone, I’ll give you half an hour. I know there are shelters under the buildings in the city. Because of King Zhenshan, I will destroy this city in half an hour, but I don’t want to kill anyone, I’m only giving you half an hour!"

Almost everyone heard this voice, but most people just looked up at him and didn’t take his words seriously.

Come on, this is King Zhenshan’s city. Not only are there numerous anti-aircraft weapons, but there is also a strong city shield; even ordinary transcendents cannot break it.

Even if, hypothetically, these defenses failed, there are still dozens of transcendents in the city.

This city has been established for so long and has never suffered any terrifying attack. They believed that it wouldn’t be long before someone dealt with this arrogant intruder.

"Truly courting death!" Zhang Menglong watched as the residents below remained utterly calm, and continued, "Your King Zhenshan sent people to destroy my city, killing 300 million innocent citizens. Today, I’m not here to kill, just to destroy cities, I hope you heed my advice."

"Unknown transcender, please leave Silicon Port immediately, or we’ll treat you as an intruder and take action against you. Repeating, please leave Silicon Port immediately, or we’ll treat you as an intruder!" A warning sounded around Zhang Menglong, coming from the city.

"No need to repeat, I am an intruder!" Zhang Menglong smiled calmly.

As he finished speaking, a certain corner of the city suddenly fired an energy beam at him.

Zhang Menglong casually formed an energy shield in front of his body, which refracted the beam at another angle, directly onto a building.

This acted like a fuse, and the city’s weapons immediately targeted Zhang Menglong, the sky became as brilliant as fireworks.

Despite the dense attacks, they were all blocked by an invisible barrier about ten meters away from Zhang Menglong.

"Let’s start with this first city," Zhang Menglong said calmly, "Since you’ve destroyed a city of my Mansha Kingdom, in return, I’ll destroy ten of your cities!"
