Chapter 926: Sending You Hundreds of Tons of Shells and Hundreds of Thousands of Bullets

The next morning!

"Is the army assembled?"

Lin Lei asked while eating breakfast.

"The assembly is complete. At Your Majesty’s command, the army will immediately exit the city and attack Red Water City!" Xuan Zheng said.

Lin Lei did not give the order immediately but asked:

"Attacking Red Water City last night, and with the mutant beast army attacking the Royal City yesterday, how are our casualties?"

Xuan Zheng hesitated.

"Speak!" Lin Lei chastised: "It’s just a few casualties, isn’t it? There’s no war without deaths. Tell me, what are the exact casualties?"

Xuan Zheng timidly said: "Now, our army has a little over 12 million able to fight."

Pfft!

Lin Lei sprayed the noodles from his mouth: "Casualties are this high?"

Xuan Zheng nodded: "The mutant beasts’ strength and lethality are far beyond our imagination."

Bang!

Enraged, Lin Lei slapped the coffee table into pieces, stood up, and said:

"Let’s go, today I will personally lead the army. Unless we flatten Red Water City, I’ll change my surname to Pig."

Pig Lei?

Xuan Zheng and Duanmu Long exchanged glances and hurriedly followed Lin Lei out of the Transcendent Laboratory to join the army.

Lin Lei jumped to the top of a tall building, looking down at the endless mass of the army, and shouted:

"Today, I will personally lead the army. Unless we flatten Red Water City, I’ll change my surname to Pig."

The reason for saying this to the army.

Lin Lei was to tell the army that he was determined not to turn back until Red Water City was destroyed.

He also cornered himself, as the dignified king, he must capture Red Water City today, or be mocked as Pig Lei by the citizens.

"Wow..."

Having experienced two wars against Red Water City and the mutant beast army, the morale and confidence of the Royal Island’s martial artist army had vanished, and even everyone had developed a fear of the enemy.

But upon hearing the king’s resolute pre-combat mobilization;

Plus the king personally leading the army.

In an instant, the 12 million-strong army’s morale soared, shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Seeing the army’s fighting spirit ignited by himself, Lin Lei waved his hand:

"Attack!"

He said, leading Xuan Zheng and Duanmu Long, charging towards the Royal City’s east gate.

"Attack!"

The 12 million-strong army followed closely.

This time, Lin Lei did not order the army to attack the city from all sides.

Instead, he headed straight for Red Water City’s west gate.

He intended to use the 12 million-strong army, at all costs, even using bodies to pile up a path into Red Water City.

However!

When the army reached the bottom of Red Water City’s west gate!

Lin Lei and the 12 million-strong army were all bewildered!

"What’s going on?" Lin Lei frowned: "Why is there no movement from the enemy troops inside Red Water City? There’s nobody on the walls either."

"Could it be that the enemy didn’t know we’d suddenly attack earlier, so they’re completely unprepared?" Xuan Zheng speculated.

"12 million people, such a commotion, it’s impossible for those inside Red Water City not to hear." Duanmu Long said.

Looking at the tightly closed city gate, Lin Lei analyzed:

"Either the enemy troops evacuated Red Water City overnight, leaving the interior empty; or they’ve set traps inside, waiting to ambush us once we storm in."

Makes sense!

Xuan Zheng and Duanmu Long nodded. Xuan Zheng said:

"Should we still attack?"

"Attack!" Lin Lei gritted his teeth and said: "Even if there are traps inside, our army of 12 million can fill them. You two go up the city walls first!"

"Yes, sir!"

Xuan Zheng and Duanmu Long obeyed and sprinted towards the city walls. When they were ten meters from the walls, they leaped, intending to jump directly onto them.

However!

Duang!

The two collided with an invisible barrier, landing steadily, their expressions turning grim.

Xuan Zheng exclaimed in shock: "Your Majesty, there’s a formation protecting it!"

Without him saying, Lin Lei had already noticed and coldly replied:

"A formation covering such a large city must not have high defensive power!"

He said, drawing the sword in his hand, and striking it.

Immediately, a dao mang cut at the Sky-locking Great Formation, but the dao mang shattered, leaving the formation unscathed.

"It’s this strong?"

Lin Lei was astonished and said:

"Issue the order, everyone attacks from a distance. I refuse to believe that we can’t break this flawed formation."

Xuan Zheng and Duanmu Long immediately went to relay the orders to the army.

Very soon!

The army was ready!

"Attack!" Lin Lei shouted fiercely.

Instantly, a massive barrage of long-range attacks, like continuous artillery fire, densely bombarded the Sky-locking Great Formation.

But it was futile!

"This... this can’t even shake it?" Lin Lei stood there in shock.

Xuan Zheng, Duanmu Long, and the 12 million-strong army collectively broke down!

No matter how many people they had;

No matter if the king personally led them;

They couldn’t even break the enemy’s City Protection Formation!

"Your Majesty, what do we do now?"

Xuan Zheng said bleakly:

"With this City Protection Formation, the enemy stands invincible, and we can only be passively beaten."

Lin Lei didn’t speak, at the moment, his head buzzed with two words echoing constantly... Pig Lei!

As the ruler of the nation!

In front of 12 million soldiers, he declared that he would change his name to Pig Lei if he didn’t flatten Red Water City.

But he couldn’t even break the city’s protection formation!

Pig Lei!

Thinking of the whole nation secretly calling him Pig Lei, Lin Lei’s mentality shattered instantly!

"Retreat, return to the city!"

Lin Lei lowered his head, with a gloomy face, speaking in a somber tone.

He didn’t dare look at anyone, fearing seeing eyes filled with ’Pig Lei’.

"Comrade Pig Lei, are you leaving?"

Just as Xuan Zheng and Duanmu Long were about to announce Lin Lei’s retreat order, a mocking voice suddenly came.

Lin Lei and others looked in the direction of the voice!

Only to see Ye Xiu appear atop the city gate unexpectedly.

And countless people appeared densely on the walls without anyone noticing.

"Who are you?"

Lin Lei asked through clenched teeth.

He hadn’t seen Ye Xiu’s true face, of course, he mainly wanted to know how Ye Xiu knew the name ’Pig Lei’.

Could the enemy have planted an undercover agent among his 12 million soldiers?

"Who I am is not important. What matters is that since you came, as the host, I can’t let you return empty-handed!"

Ye Xiu said with a smile:

"I’ll send you a few hundred tons of shells and a few hundred thousand rounds of bullets!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lei’s face changed drastically, and he roared:

"All troops, retreat immediately, return to the city!"

However, it was already too late!

Dense artillery shells fired from within Red Water City, landing among the 12 million troops outside.

The people on the walls, each armed with a Gatling gun, sent a wave of steel fury to the enemy.

"Retreat, retreat..."

Lin Lei yelled while running towards the Royal City. He knew his voice couldn’t reach the ears of the 12 million soldiers.

He had to run first, only then would the troops follow him!

Sure enough!

Seeing the king run!

The vanguard hurriedly followed, and the subsequent troops seeing the vanguard run, also started running.

"Don’t leave, stay!"

Ye Xiu waved his hand, pulling the fleeing Duanmu Long onto the city wall.

At this moment, the Sky-locking Great Formation seemed ineffective!
