Chapter 1096 - 596: Thunderous Momentum, Turmoil in the South Region

The thunder of the lightning storm was like ten thousand troops trampling past.

With the attack happening so suddenly, there were still some goblins who hadn’t figured out what was going on.

The domed wooden lodge in the center of the tribe had been completely destroyed.

Under the baptism of bombs and thunder, that place had already turned into scorched earth.

The ground was full of craters of all sizes.

The King of Goblins was trapped deep in one of them, and beside him several Goblin Heroes were holding shields of various styles, forming a curved Shield Wall to resist the impact of the thunder.

Those Goblin Shamans also released their magic one after another, condensing Witchcraft Shields.

However, Lightning Storm was a Tier Five Magic after all.

The power of a single strike was astonishing.

Those Witchcraft Shields were as fragile as paper when directly facing the thunder.

They could only barely blunt a bit of the thunder’s might.

And although the Shield Wall of those Goblin Heroes could barely Block, every time it endured a strike of thunder, the shield that took the hit would start to crack.

The Goblin Heroes holding shields had to bear a tremendous force; the bones all over their bodies creaked under the impact of the thunder, and their feet were even driven into the soil.

Even though the power of Lightning Storm was so great, a large number of goblins still rushed in like moths to a flame, gathering around the King of Goblins.

The king of the race was not only the strongest of this Goblin Tribe, but also the first-generation bloodline from which the tribe had bred.

Right there, the King of Goblins, guarded at the center, peered through the gaps in the Shield Wall, looked up at the dark clouds overhead, and silently clenched his fists.

The eyes beneath his Battle Helmet gradually turned bloodshot...

High above, just as Zong Shen was wondering whether to take advantage of the Flying Tiger’s remaining physical strength to launch another charge, the Communication Crystal at his chest suddenly lit up.

He lowered his head, took off the crystal, glanced at the communication number, and found it was from Jiang Yi again.

That meant something had definitely happened in the southern area!

This round of aerial bombardment had successfully disrupted the goblins’ deployment.

It had conveniently weakened a wave of their living forces, setting a good opening for the ensuing punitive campaign.

Relying on his own strength alone, it would be hard to wipe out the entire Goblin Tribe.

After this bombing, once they scattered, even Goblin Bombs would struggle to make contributions.

To thoroughly eradicate this group of Green-skinned Goblins, he still needed large forces to coordinate the offensive.

Thinking of this, he decisively directed the Flying Tiger toward the edge of the forest, preparing to rendezvous with Rasama and Gujate. He shifted his body a bit to make sure he was seated firmly before choosing to connect the call.

The wind-roar from high-speed Flying was extremely noisy, and he had no choice but to press the Communication Crystal to his ear.

"Whooo, whooo..."

"Jiang Yi, is something happening in the south?"

As soon as the call connected, Zong Shen took the initiative to ask.

"Boom..."

"Roar..."

From the other side of the crystal came faint sounds of Explosion and loud bellowing.

Then followed a burst of hurried Running.

"The crystal’s connected..."

"Lord Zong, the Black Dragon of the Poison Swamp has been enraged!"

"Right now that Black Dragon is leading its Followers and Lords in a fierce battle outside the Poison Swamp."

"The mist over the Poison Swamp has been largely dispelled."

"Just now I almost got caught in the crossfire at the edge of the Poison Swamp!"

"I think you really need to come over!"

Jiang Yi’s tone was urgent, almost shouting at the top of her lungs.

That meant the southern area was already in a state of chaotic loss of control.

Neither the Lords who had entered the depths of the Poison Swamp, nor those watching from the periphery, had expected there to be a Black Dragon dwelling in the Poisonous Mist Swamp!

"I understand. I’ll set off immediately!"

"Estimated time of arrival is about fifteen to twenty minutes!"

"Don’t act rashly, and keep the Legion members restrained!"

Zong Shen tucked his head into the wind-sheltered spot behind the Flying Tiger’s neck and replied decisively.

Once he finished, he didn’t wait for Jiang Yi’s answer and hung up the crystal at once.

He started regretting not riding Eagle instead.

With Jet Armor installed, Eagle would only need seven or eight minutes to fly from here to the southern Poison Swamp!

He took a deep breath and looked down at the forest below.

Among those rolling mountains there were also some Little Flame Demons scattered about, and these Little Flame Demons would ignite the trees.

Columns of smoke rose straight into the sky.

The most outrageous thing was that these Burning trees had no effect on native Wild Beasts and Indigenous People.

Once the nearby Little Flame Demons were eliminated, or this round of challenge ended, everything would revert to its original state.

The Lord System was like having a world-edit cheat turned on, able to paint and erase at will.

After a round of high-speed plunges and charges, the Flying Tiger’s stamina consumption was immense.

Sitting on its back, Zong Shen could feel its heart pounding rapidly.

After leaving the Goblin Tribe, it took only a minute or two for him to return to the forest’s edge.

The Flying Tiger swiftly flew toward the ground, lowering its Flying altitude, making no effort to conceal its huge body. From high above, Zong Shen looked down and saw that the dozens of Little Flame Demons that had been scattered around were now mostly wiped out.

Those few Lord squads had also left this place.

They were likely "persuaded by virtue" by Gujate and Rasama.

Upon hearing the whistling sound from the sky, Gujate and Rasama began converging as well.

This had been agreed upon beforehand.

Zong Shen had the Flying Tiger land directly on the ground to let it rest for a bit, and to wait for the two to return.

Taking advantage of this short gap, Zong Shen started using the Communication Crystal to contact Luna.

He asked which Hero was in charge of patrolling the south side of the Territory.

After learning it was Favide, he had Luna pass on his orders: Favide was to assemble all temporary strike teams in the south, and lead Kaji Nia and the Lion Skeleton Knights to rally near Dinan Village in the Territory.
