"Full attack!"
Jack officially issued the attack command. Violent Little Chicken, White Crane Hermit, Pig King, and others—Tanks and Chargers alike—launched the first wave of attack on the gate.
"Kill!"
One hundred and thirty-five Zombie soldiers followed closely behind. When the Adventurers inhaled the green poisonous mist released by the Exploders, they felt as if they had been injected with a stimulant. Their metabolism surged, speeding up recovery and making their legs and feet stronger and more agile.
Tanks 1 and 2 continued launching paratroopers. One by one, the Zombie soldiers became flying men, and soon twenty were thrown into the pass camp.
"Interesting!"
"Hahaha!"
"Here comes the little flying stick!"
"Damn, my leg is broken, who's coming to save me!"
Not all mercenaries inside landed safely. Some unlucky ones broke their legs or even landed directly on their heads. Even if Zombies have tenacious vitality, once their skulls or spines are broken, they cannot maintain combat effectiveness. But the problem is not significant; as long as half can still fight, it's enough!
With the cooperation of Hunters and Smokers, it was enough to disrupt the enemy's defense. In contrast, the Dark Goblins faced this attack with panic. The result was predictable. The assault force coordinated with the vanguard and opened the gate without much effort.
"Charge!"
"Kill your way in!"
Violent Little Chicken and White Crane Hermit—these thick-skinned, tough Tanks—took the lead. Especially Violent Little Chicken, who was the fastest and fiercest, fighting against twenty to thirty defenders alone. Although his body was covered in poisoned arrows and javelins, he still charged wildly, triggered several traps, took down ten Goblins, and finally collapsed from exhaustion.
Although there were losses in the attack, the death of contract soldiers was not a big problem. This wave of attack completely tore open the defense line. More than a hundred temporary workers had successfully broken in. Only then did Jack personally control the Flamethrower Tracker, along with two Tank monster soldiers as protectors on both sides, and charged in, a flamethrower sweeping wildly, screams echoing wherever it went, sweeping through like exterminating rats and insects, wiping out all the Goblins who resisted stubbornly.
Although there were sporadic poisoned arrows and javelin attacks, the Tracker's powerful physique was enough to withstand these attacks. Under this fighting style, there was no suspense at all!
Miracle City had one Tier 2 Two-Star combat power, five Tier 1 Five-Star combat powers, plus over a hundred basic combat powers, while the defending Dark Goblins only numbered over a hundred and twenty, and among them, there wasn't even a single Tier 1 max-level combat power. How could they fight this?
If they relied on the terrain to hold on stubbornly, perhaps they could still hold out until reinforcements arrived. But from the moment the gate was breached, this battle turned into a one-sided slaughter, ending in less than twenty minutes.
"We won again!"
"A repeat performance!"
"Today's battle was too exhilarating!"
"At this rate, we'll probably be able to challenge the Dark Kind main city directly soon!"
"Looking forward to it!"
"The second secret realm doesn't seem far away!"
The Adventurers stood in the Blackwind Pass camp, cheering and celebrating. This battle was undoubtedly a great victory for Miracle City; they successfully captured Gloomy City's most important stronghold, sealed off Gloomy City's escape route, and firmly seized the strategic initiative!
Of course, the cost was not low either. This battle lost 48 ordinary Zombies. Ten of them died from falling while performing as flying men. In addition, among the 15 contract soldiers, casualties were as high as 8. Although the losses were a bit high, Jack didn't mind at all, because compared to the gains, they were not worth mentioning!
Seizing the time, Jack first activated the Divine Stone.
Jack's mental power -150!
He refined the Divine Stone of Blackwind Pass.
**[Divine Stone activated successfully!]**
**[You have successfully occupied "Blackwind Fort", obtained "Chaos Treasure Chest (Gray)" ×1!]**
Done! Another teleportation point has been activated. From now on, troops can be directly dispatched to Blackwind Pass, thereby posing a threat to Gloomy City!
**[You opened the "Chaos Treasure Chest" (Gray), you obtained "Skill Secret Crystal: Lord Summoning Technique" +1, "Blueprint: Adventurer Guild" +1!]**
Jack's eyes lit up. Although he didn't get a soul crystal, he simultaneously obtained a Secret Crystal and a Blueprint, which is a very low probability, it can be said that his luck exploded!
Lord Summoning Technique and Possession Technique are both among the skills all Lords must learn. Possession Technique is to imbue one's consciousness onto any monster in the territory. And Summoning Technique can summon any monster in the territory to one's side. No matter where the Lord is, even if he returns to the Lord's World, as long as there are monsters in the Underground City's monster camp, he can summon them to his side for battle, equivalent to a summoner. The more monsters in the monster camp, the stronger they are, the stronger the power the Lord can command at any time. Of course, the Summoning Technique has a cooldown and consumes a small amount of mental power.
As for the Adventurer Guild? This is a relatively rare yet very important facility. Its function is to provide comprehensive services for the Adventurers in the territory, and it can also become a data platform for Miracle City's Adventurers, providing them with more and better data-based services.
For example, with the Adventurer Guild, Jack can build multiple systems, such as the previously envisioned "Illustrated Guide System". In addition, the Adventurer Guild can also handle the registration of Adventurer teams. It can also develop foreign race Adventurers, activate the Adventurer's Soul for foreign races, enabling them to obtain the Adventurer's cultivation system. This point is undoubtedly very important. Foreign race Adventurers are exclusively the Adventurer group of the Underground City. The number of such Adventurers may not be large, but their stability and obedience will be higher than that of ordinary contract Adventurers. Because theoretically speaking, contract Adventurers can run away at any time. Foreign race Adventurers, however, cannot exist independently of the Underground City. Unless they permanently and completely abandon their Adventurer cultivation and identity.
At this time, other spoils of war had also been inventoried. A total of 127 Dark Kind were killed in this battle, 495 pieces of gray low-to-mid-grade equipment were captured, and after all were dismantled, 918 portions of material essence were obtained, which is another substantial income.
Jack was very satisfied. He also issued 20 contribution points to the Adventurers. When the Adventurers completed the post-war cleanup and repaired the pass gate at the same time.
"Not good!"
"More enemies are coming!"
"Quickly tell the Lord there's an enemy attack!"
Jack personally ascended the city wall. A Goblin squad of about twenty arrived before the pass. Although the number was not large, their aura was very strong, giving off a significant sense of oppression.
Leading them was a Dark Goblin with bloodshot eyes and a bloody throat, wearing black armor and a horned helmet, riding a giant lizard. This Goblin was none other than the Dark Lord of Gloomy City - Bloodthroat!
Unexpectedly, they met so soon. Bloodthroat was clearly enraged! First, the troops led by Maggot Eye were completely annihilated by the Human Clan. Then he received the urgent military report of Blackwind Pass being attacked. This Dark Lord could never have dreamed that a Human Clan that had just appeared not long ago would have such terrifying combat power and execution ability.
Within a day, they defeated his most valiant general and broke through the most fortified pass defense line. Although Bloodthroat acted urgently, he was still late. The Human Clan had already annexed Blackwind Pass, and Gloomy City's gate was lost just like that!
Humiliation! Great insult! It was simply a slap in the face!
"You are... the Human Lord?"
The Goblin Lord spoke, his voice low and hoarse, and although his pronunciation was very strange, he used the Human Clan language. Bloodthroat's gaze fell on the Tracker in the center position on the city wall. He could feel that although the Human Lord was not physically present, he was controlling this body through consciousness descent.
Jack generously admitted: "Indeed!"
Bloodthroat said in a deep voice: "You are courting death!"
"Is that so?"
"Immediately hand over the city, withdraw from Gloomy Valley, and I can spare your life!"
Bloodthroat continued: "Otherwise, this Lord's wrath is enough to make you regret being born into this world!"
Jack hadn't spoken yet. The Adventurers were all unsettled.
Pig King cursed angrily: "What the hell are you? How dare you spout nonsense in front of Miracle City!"
Black Stone Hammer King: "Just a dirty, lowly Goblin, and you dare to tell us to withdraw? If you have the guts, come up and fight!"
"Well said!"
"Miracle City must be immortal!"
"Dare to threaten Miracle City? You are seeking your own death!"
"Trash! If you have the guts, come up yourself! I'm going to duel you one-on-one! I guarantee I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"
"Miracle City must flatten the Dark Kind, and anyone who stands in our way must die. You dirty Dark Kind are only fit to be trampled under our feet and ground into the mud!"
"Hahaha!"
"Look at how cowardly you are."
"What else can you do besides impotent rage?"
"Yeah, if you want to fight, just fight, don't waste my time, okay?"
The Adventurers cursed loudly. When it came to spouting trash talk, they were never afraid. At this moment, they were all spewing 'fragrances' and wildly provoking and stimulating them.
