Chapter 411: The Real War Had Come

Blue Water City was one of the ten major cities of the Water Nation.

All ten major cities, apart from the Imperial City, were the largest cities in the land. If he could occupy all ten cities, he would have already occupied half the Water Nation.

Lu Wen was the governor of Blue Water City, and led an army of fifty thousand soldiers. He was highly respected amongst the officials of Water Nation.

He was lying on his bed and happily playing with a beautiful storage ring. Contained inside the ring were many treasures that had been gifted to him by the Ice Queen a few days ago.

He had betrayed the Water Empress and become a puppet of the Ice Queen.

That day, knowing that all nine other governors had already given in, he had agreed to defect to the Ice Queen's side with barely a second thought.

Moreover, he had been immensely happy to receive all those precious treasures.

Suddenly, a guard appeared and knelt down in front of his bedroom door. "Someone is about to attack the city!" the guard said.

Lu Wen was a bit surprised. Could it be the Water Empress?

He sat up and asked in a low voice, "Who and how many people in total?"

"A young man who is at Level 10 of the Infant Transformation Stage. He is accompanied by three thousand soldiers. I am not sure if he has other reinforcements," the guard replied.

Lu Wen was surprised.

A young man at Level 10 of the Infant Transformation Stage? Only three thousand soldiers?

He almost burst into laughter.

Clearly, he is asking to get killed. With only three thousand soldiers, how could he even hope to defeat us? Doesn't he know that I have fifty thousand soldiers?

"Do not mind him. Order five thousand bowmen to 'greet' them!" Lu Wen laughed.

Hearing this, the guard left.

At that moment, Xu Que and his three thousand soldiers arrived at the city gate.

He had no plans and no arrangements, he had simply dashed toward the city like a headless chick.

His three thousand soldiers were so terrified that they were on the verge of tears. But they had no other choice but to follow Xu Que.

The city gate was open, and all the citizens had hidden in their homes. Five thousand bowmen stood upon the city wall, aiming their arrows at Xu Que.

"Kill them all! Kill them all!" Xu Que shouted.

Buttface said, "Are you insane? Haven't you seen the bowmen?"

All the soldiers of Snow City freaked out. This setting was very different to that of the battle on the Snow Mountain. No one's True Core Strength was restricted. Each arrow would be able to kill a person instantly.

"What?" Xu Que looked upwards and suddenly paused.

Then he turned around and shouted, "Everyone! Leave now!"

Hearing this, the soldiers were completely stunned.

What?!

Leave?!

We haven't even started yet...

What are you even thinking?

Still, they had no choice but to follow his order, and began to back away.

Buttface was the one running the fastest. He shouted, "Everyone, run, or else you shall be punished!"

Then Xu Que smiled and took out a grenade from his pocket.

He pulled off the iron ring, turned around and threw it towards the city wall.

Seeing that all the soldiers were running away, the bowmen were confused. They had never been in a situation like this before.

"I saw that young man throw something toward us. Did you see what that thing is?"

"It's too small, I didn't catch it."

"Never mind. Out city wall is protected by the Protection Array."

"Someone should report this to the governor and tell him that the enemy has run away."

"I will go," a bowman said, preparing to depart.

Meanwhile the grenade struck the city wall, but was blocked by the light screen of the city wall.

Bang!

The grenade exploded. The force of the huge explosion shook the Protection Array slightly.

"What's going on? What hit the wall?"

"Never mind. It's fine, now the governor will probably be more willing to believe that we have gone through a tough battle."

The grenade had only shaken the Protection Array a little bit, and the soldiers of the Snow City had already left. The bowmen did not think too much about it.

...

"What on earth are you doing? I was about to fight a bowman!" Buttface asked.

Xu Que turned around to look at the Blue Water City and smiled. "I did it to make them think that we are just a group of sheep without a shepherd. Then they will lost interest in us, and we shall take the opportunity to officially attack them!"

"Really?" Buttface frowned, wearing an expression of disbelief. He had seen Xu Que throw something mysterious towards the city wall.

Xu Que smiled again and said, "Now, I believe you have all had a good warm-up. I now know how strong the Protection Array is."

"What?"

Many soldiers of the Snow City were still confused.

We just had a warm-up? He threw that thing to test how strong the Protection Array is?

"Everyone, listen carefully!" Xu Que started to give orders. "I am going to divide you into four groups! Now hurry up! Group One will drive the tank—I will show you how to drive it later. Group Two will be responsible for the Rocket Gun, go wait on the left side. Group Three is responsible for the God-Powered Cannon, go wait on the right side. As for Group Four, I will teach you how to fly the helicopter and how to drop bombs or fire a machine gun whilst flying the helicopter."

Then he looked at Buttface and said, "As for you, you can carry around several tons of bombs. If you dare run away again, I will boil you into soup!"
