Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Fakamo
The entire City Lord’s Mansion was situated at the highest point of the mountain peak. Its main structure was a small castle built from giant gray rocks, surrounded by high walls. The outer gate was half-open.
"This City Lord’s Mansion is beautifully built."
Jiang Huai said with a chuckle.
"What good is ’beautiful’? It just ended up as a monster’s nest anyway."
Adika replied disdainfully.
"I can’t be bothered with you. Miss, should we attack now?"
Jiang Huai turned his head to ask Qian Luobing.
"Wait."
Qian Luobing replied indifferently.
Just as Jiang Huai was about to ask Qian Luobing why, a clamor arose from the street behind them.
They turned to look back and saw Qian Wei leading the forces of the Second Legion, marching over in a grand, imposing procession.
"Sigh, Qian Wei and his men are here too."
A look of great pity crossed Jiang Huai’s face. If Qian Wei and his group had been just a little later, the City Lord’s Mansion would have been theirs.
At that moment, seeing Qian Luobing and her group standing outside the City Lord’s Mansion without having attacked yet, Gao Feng also breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"Young Master, it seems we made it in time."
"Let’s go!"
The gloomy expression on Qian Wei’s face eased considerably as he led his troops forward.
Soon, Qian Wei arrived in front of Qian Luobing and greeted her with a smile.
"Luo Bing, I didn’t expect you to get here so fast."
"It’s not that I was fast, it’s that you were too slow."
Qian Luobing replied coldly.
Qian Wei’s expression stiffened for a moment, but he still said with a smile,
"You’re right. But there’s only one City Lord’s Mansion. How about we tackle it together?"
"Fine."
Qian Luobing replied indifferently, her gaze fixed on the City Lord’s Mansion before them.
"That’s great! Let’s go in!"
Seeing Qian Luobing agree, Qian Wei said, in an excellent mood.
"Move out!"
Qian Luobing raised her hand and gestured forward.
The troops from both sides began advancing toward the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Meanwhile, atop a distant tall building, the streamer Nansi aimed her camera at Qian Luobing’s group and reported nervously.
"Everyone, look! Lady Qian Luobing and Lord Qian Wei are beginning their assault on the City Lord’s Mansion! Taking this place is the same as taking the entire city!"
"They’re so fast!"
"Tch, what’s so surprising? Of course they’re fast, two whole legions are clearing it together."
"Easy for you to say. Why don’t you go up there and fight? You’d probably piss your pants!"
"Screw you!"
...
On the livestream screen, a constant stream of comments flew by.
At this moment, Qian Luobing and Qian Wei led their troops carefully through the gate and into the castle’s courtyard.
The courtyard was enormous.
A stone-paved road led straight to the castle’s main entrance. The surrounding grounds were overgrown, desolate lawns, littered with the rubble of collapsed smaller buildings.
The entire area was desolate and silent.
Qian Luobing and the others proceeded cautiously inward and soon arrived before the castle’s main doors.
The massive metal doors were shut tight.
Qian Wei gazed at the closed doors, a subtle trace of excitement on his face. He then gestured for his men to open them.
"Hold on!"
Just then, Qian Luobing suddenly stopped Qian Wei in a cold voice.
Qian Wei’s advancing foot froze in place. He turned to Qian Luobing, asking with a puzzled look,
"What’s wrong?"
"Something’s not right. There’s a problem."
Qian Luobing said coldly, staring at the closed doors.
Hearing Qian Luobing’s words, Qian Wei and the others all warily raised their weapons toward the castle doors.
CREAK~
The sealed castle doors suddenly began to open on their own.
Qian Wei and the others were startled, their nerves stretched taut as they stared.
A pair of bloody hands reached out, pressed against the edge of the doors, and slowly pushed them open.
Then, the hideous form of Fakamo emerged from within.
Gao Feng and the others were shocked. He raised his wrist device toward Fakamo, and when he saw the text prompt that appeared, he sucked in a sharp breath and cried out,
"Mutated Lord Level!"
Fakamo turned his head to survey everyone present and said with great excitement,
"Just when I was getting hungry, someone brings me lunch. This is just my lucky day!"
Hearing Fakamo speak, Gao Feng and the others were utterly shocked.
"My God! This thing can actually talk! Is it a person or a monster?!"
"It’s likely a new species of monster, derived from a chimera with human genes."
Qian Luobing calmly stated her hypothesis.
"That’s possible."
Qian Wei nodded in agreement.
Fakamo excitedly raised a hand and began counting Qian Wei and the others.
"One, two, three, five, four..."
"Hmph. A beast is still a beast. It can talk, but it has no brain!"
Qian Wei scoffed upon hearing Fakamo’s words.
"How did you know I was hungry for brains? Yours must be quite tasty."
Fakamo stared intently at Qian Wei.
"You alone? You’re courting death!"
Qian Wei actually laughed, incensed by Fakamo’s words.
"Hmph, you dare to provoke me, you lowly human ants? Come forth!"
Fakamo opened his mouth and let out a peculiar shriek.
SWISH!
Instantly, countless Blood Breath Spiders emerged from all directions within the inner city, swarming toward the troops of the Second and Third Legions.
Seeing this, the streamer Nansi cried out in terror.
"My God, where did so many monsters come from?!"
"Holy crap, what’s happening?"
"Why are there so many Blood Breath Spiders?"
"The Second and Third Legions are surrounded by monsters!"
"They’re done for!"
On the livestream, the watching populace was dumbfounded, and countless comments flooded the screen.
...
In the castle courtyard, the soldiers on the perimeter of the Second and Third Legions reacted instantly to the oncoming swarm of Blood Breath Spiders, turning their guns to open fire.
BANG! BANG!
Blood Breath Spiders were taken down one by one.
But a massive number of Blood Breath Spiders still charged forward, pouncing on the soldiers.
A brutal battle erupted between the two sides.
"This is bad, Young Master! We’ve walked into a trap!"
Gao Feng shouted to Qian Wei, his face pale with alarm.
"Dammit! Luo Bing, what do we do now?"
Qian Wei’s face twitched as he suppressed his anger and asked the question.
"To catch a thief, you first catch the king. Have the perimeter soldiers hold back the monster tide. We’ll end this quickly by taking out their leader."
Qian Luobing replied with perfect composure.
"No problem. But it’s so massive, it probably won’t be an easy kill."
"Its humanoid upper body should be its weak point."
"Alright! Everyone, focus fire on its upper body!"
Qian Wei immediately gave the order.
Gao Feng and the others raised their firearms, rocket launchers, and other weapons, unleashing a fierce barrage on Fakamo’s upper body.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
A storm of rockets and a dense rain of bullets flew toward it.
Seeing everyone focus fire on its upper body, Fakamo let out a piercing laugh.
"Naive!"
The biological tissue on Fakamo’s upper body writhed, then formed a layer of flesh armor that completely covered its torso.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The fierce assault had no effect on it whatsoever.
Seeing this, Qian Wei and Qian Luobing charged Fakamo from the left and right.
Fakamo excitedly met Qian Wei’s charge, swinging a sharp spider-like blade in a furious slash.
Qian Wei swiftly dodged to the side.
KRAK!
The ground was sliced open as if it were tofu.
