Chapter 107 - 80: Saturation Bombardment

Chapter 107: Chapter 80: Saturation Bombardment

BOOM!

Lin Yi threw another heavy punch, charged with Ninth Layer Power Storage.

He obliterated a Pigman that tried to ambush him, blasting it into a bloody mist in mid-air!

He panted lightly.

His gaze swept over the weary, despairing faces of his comrades around him.

Then, through the eyes of his Mosquito Avatar, he looked toward the distant, eerie blue portal that was still spewing out monsters.

His expression grew incredibly grim.

At that moment, the bulging tactical backpack on his back was stuffed full of Blood Replenishing Pills provided by the Governor’s Mansion.

A quick count revealed over three hundred of them!

He had to admit, the Yang City Governor’s Mansion had really spared no expense to defend the city.

These Tier One Pills, capable of rapidly replenishing Qi and Blood, sold on the market for as much as 12,000 each!

Over three hundred of them amounted to a massive sum of nearly four million!

While they weren’t as effective as Bone Tempering Pills for the purpose of Bone Refinement, on this battlefield, they were a lifeline.

For Lin Yi, the rewards this night had been practically dreamlike.

He had honed his Martial Skills and also scored nearly four million worth of resources for free!

’He’d made a killing!’

Meanwhile, his Mosquito Avatar had also grown rapidly during the night’s hunt.

Its Level had risen all the way from LV13 to LV17.

A full four-Level increase!

It was getting closer and closer to Tier Two.

But now, the joy from these gains was washed away by the grim situation before him.

’The defending Martial Artists’ bodies and spirits are already stretched to their absolute limit. They’re about to snap...’

Lin Yi wiped the filth—a mixture of sweat and blood—from his face. His brow was furrowed, and his heart sank slightly.

’The reinforcements... when in the world will they arrive?!’

’If they don’t come soon... Yang City is really going to be completely overrun by this endless army of monsters!’

...

The Pigman army crashed against Yang City’s walls like a black tide.

Each assault pushed the already exhausted Martial Artists further into misery.

The defending Martial Artists’ arms were so tired they could no longer lift them.

Some swayed on their feet, weak and unsteady, but still refused to fall.

The last embers of a fire still burned in their eyes—if the city fell, the people of Yang City behind them were finished!

"I can’t hold on..."

The web of a young Martial Artist’s hand split open from the impact, and fresh blood trickled down the hilt of his blade.

He gazed down at the dense swarm of Pigmen below, his eyes filled with despair.

Just then...

BZZZZZZ!!!

A deep roar echoed from the horizon, like the buzzing of countless giant hornets.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

A tear opened in the clouds to the west.

A hundred camouflaged transport planes, like giant birds of steel, skimmed low over the wilderness. The shriek of their wings cutting through the air drowned out the roars of the Pigmen.

"Is that... a plane?!"

"The reinforcements are here!"

Someone on the city wall cried out in astonishment.

The hangar doors slid open with a CLANG.

One by one, black wooden barrels, each half the height of a man, poured out of the planes.

They traced arcs through the air.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! They smashed into the open ground behind the Pigman army.

The moment the wooden barrels shattered, a viscous liquid splashed out.

The pungent smell of gasoline instantly filled the entire battlefield.

The Mosquito Avatar, hidden invisibly among the horde of Pigmen, felt its antennae twitch violently.

Lin Yi’s consciousness instantly tensed.

He knew that smell all too well!

’Gasoline?!’

His scalp tingled as he instantly understood what the army was about to do.

’Once that stuff is ignited, several square miles will turn into a sea of fire!’

The beat of the Mosquito Avatar’s wings abruptly accelerated to its maximum frequency, and it fled frantically toward Yang City like a black bolt of lightning.

The very instant the Mosquito Avatar flew out of the blast radius—

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

A blinding red light suddenly flared up on the western horizon.

Immediately after, tens of thousands of rockets, trailing orange-red flames, rained down on the Pigman army like a dense meteor shower.

"Get down!"

Someone on the wall screamed, but it was too late.

The first rocket landed among the Pigmen, instantly erupting into a massive fireball. A dozen Pigmen were sent flying by the shockwave, their bodies burned to charcoal in mid-air by the intense heat.

Then, a second, a third...

An unending series of explosions thundered like crackling lightning, making the entire wilderness tremble.

A volley of ten thousand rounds!

A saturation bombardment!

Moreover, the rockets ignited the gasoline that had been previously scattered!

Blue flames shot up dozens of feet into the air with a FWOOSH, forming a sea of fire that engulfed the Pigman army.

"AWOOOO!!!"

The Pigmen let out bloodcurdling screams as the flames licked at their rough skin, their fur instantly bursting into flames.

Some Pigmen tried to beat out the flames, only to be knocked over by their comrades and roll into the inferno, quickly becoming writhing fireballs.

Their previously unstoppable offensive formation collapsed in an instant.

All the Pigmen descended into chaos, running around like headless chickens and trampling countless of their own in the stampede.

Lin Yi stood atop a clock tower in Yang City, his heart pounding as he watched the sea of fire below.

He could clearly see that the Pigmen, who were usually so ferocious and vicious, now had eyes filled with terror.

During the siege before, these Pigmen had acted as if they had no fear of death. But now, faced with an overwhelming inferno and rockets that could blast them to bits, they were afraid!

Before long, the second wave of rockets arrived.

This time, the barrage was even more concentrated.

The fire burned ever brighter, with thick smoke billowing into the sky, dyeing half the heavens a dark crimson.

The number of Pigmen in the army decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The once-overwhelming black mass had now been reduced by more than half.

"WUUUU!"

Suddenly, the mournful sound of a horn echoed from the rear of the Pigman army.

Like startled birds, the remaining Pigmen instantly abandoned the siege, turned tail, and fled in terror.
