Chapter 496 - 193: One-shotting a Medium-Sized City, Loot Goes Off the Charts

Without a moment’s hesitation, Shen Fei waved his hand and instantly summoned 150 Neutral Cities. Then, after a single Cluster Attack from their 150 Defense Towers, the newly appeared Neutral City before him, along with its Shield and the NPCs stationed there, was completely annihilated.

In its place, a crater only a dozen or so meters deep appeared.

Not bad! Attacking a small Neutral City with 150 of my own is no problem at all!

Watching as the third Neutral City was destroyed—its buildings and the boss inside all wiped clean, but the land itself suffering no major damage—Shen Fei finally confirmed the optimal method of attack. To wipe out everything in one go from outside the city, including the City Shield, at the fastest possible speed without harming Blue Star, the best strategy was a Cluster Attack from 150 Defense Towers. On top of that, he couldn’t even activate his Bond skills or Gemstone effects.

[Ding!]

[You have obtained Heart of the City x1]

[You have obtained City Energy x100]

[You have obtained Energy Crystal x3]

WHOOSH!

Amidst a new wave of loot, Shen Fei teleported in front of another Neutral City. Just like that, he rapidly commanded the 150 Defense Towers to launch a Cluster Attack, eradicating the Neutral Cities standing in the special area one by one.

He was incredibly fast. Soon, over a dozen small Neutral Cities had been eradicated by Shen Fei. With the efficient Teleportation from his Teleportation Gate Tower and the total annihilation provided by a single Cluster Attack from his Defense Towers, his speed was astounding. He spent less than ten minutes completely eradicating seventeen small Neutral Cities.

Setting aside the loot gained from destroying each Neutral City, at this pace, it seemed completing the mandatory mission would be no problem.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Just like that, Shen Fei teleported and annihilated his targets without a word. He had originally entered the special area to gather intelligence, but he never expected to turn into a city-destroying machine.

One Neutral City after another was being eradicated.

Shen Fei remembered that during the Version 4.3 update, hundreds of thousands of Neutral Cities had descended from the sky, landing on Blue Star. At the time, human players, due to their limited Combat Power, had only managed to capture a few Neutral Cities in each nation. Even with a top player like him in Great Xia, the entire nation had secured fewer than twenty Neutral Cities. The vast majority of the Neutral Cities that landed on Blue Star in Version 4.3 ended up in the special areas.

Now, these very things were being rapidly annihilated by Shen Fei. He didn’t know if he would receive the same mission in other special areas after he finished destroying the Neutral Cities in this one. All he could do was focus on quickly completing the current mandatory mission—the one that would erase him if he failed.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

Shen Fei teleported again and again, launching Cluster Attack after Cluster Attack. Each time, he swiftly and utterly cleared out the Neutral Cities, leaving nothing behind.

He knew that his actions would surely turn this snow-covered special area completely upside down. But even so, he couldn’t stop. The rapidly ticking countdown of the mandatory mission left him no time to think about anything else. All he could do was mindlessly and rapidly destroy cities! Destroy cities! Destroy cities!

.

BOOM!

Twenty minutes later, Shen Fei’s city-destruction count reached 30. He had finally wiped out all the small Neutral Cities in this special area.

Of the remaining twenty Neutral Cities, 15 were medium-sized cities, and 5 were large-sized cities.

ROAR!

ROAR!

ROAR!

As Shen Fei opened another Teleportation Gate, he heard countless roars of fury echoing throughout the special area. Although he had also cleared out the personnel stationed within the thirty Neutral Cities he eradicated, the news that their homes had been destroyed quickly reached the Intelligent NPCs who were farming experience from monsters around the Secret Realms.

In fact, the moment a Neutral City was destroyed, the buffs it provided to these NPCs had abruptly vanished. Although they were confused for an instant, wondering what had happened, they all very quickly realized their homes had been destroyed.

From one Neutral City after another, the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses who had been gathered around the Secret Realms instantly rushed back to their city’s location. Then, upon discovering that the site of their Neutral City had been turned into a deep crater, with all traces of it wiped completely clean, every single Intelligent NPC and Super Boss went ballistic.

Shen Fei saw countless ill-tempered Super Bosses—highly intelligent Frost Giant Dragons, Ice Elements, and more—soaring through the sky, roaring at the world.

With their homes gone, these creatures had become "Wandering People." Not only had they lost the buffs provided by their respective cities, but more importantly, they had lost some kind of certification, some kind of recognition.

This was the most terrifying thing of all.

The enormous roars of the panicked and enraged Super Bosses flying about chaotically ignited the entire special area. As more and more Neutral Cities in the special area were destroyed, the anger and the roaring grew more intense. Over time, the NPCs and bosses from the more than thirty homeless Neutral Cities even showed signs of banding together.
