Chapter 78 An Unstoppable Disaster

The Apostle of the Night attacked once, disrupting the mental connection of Kani City, then retreated back into the Miracle architecture, seemingly afraid that Li Tianran would suddenly jump out and deliver a fatal blow.

The already weakened Kani City couldn't withstand the Apostle of the Night's attack.

Large numbers of Followers bypassed the lava and continued their assault on the city, seemingly intent on slaughtering all the defenders.

The surviving mecha warriors fought desperately against the Followers' siege, already battered and bruised. Their destruction was only a matter of time!

"Have the reinforcements from Mad Wind Island not arrived yet?"

"We can't hold on any longer!"

Soldiers screamed and wailed on the blood-soaked battlefield.

Less than five minutes had passed since the giant city collided with the city walls.

The ability to cripple a main defense city's combat power in just five minutes was the power of the Apostle-level. Even in an era where technological weapons had not been revived, they were still the pinnacle race!

The Kunlun dreadnought flew rapidly through the sky, heading towards Kani City.

In fact, the moment Li Tianran received the request for help from Kani City, he had the Kunlun dreadnought set off to support it, because he knew very well that, apart from Mad Wind Island, no city on the human defense line could withstand an Apostle-level attack.

At this moment, the Kunlun dreadnought was only five minutes away from reaching Kani City!

...

"Night..." The Apostle of the Stars sat cross-legged in the bronze palace, communicating with the Apostle of the Night outside Kani City via three-dimensional communication: "Has Li Tianran not arrived at your location yet?"

The Apostle of the Stars and the Apostle of the Ocean were now extremely anxious. They were eagerly waiting for Li Tianran to pilot the Kunlun dreadnought to arrive above Kani City. After engaging in a fight with the Apostle of the Night, they could plunder the metal mine outside the defense line without any worries.

"Only five minutes have passed..." The Apostle of the Night's muffled voice echoed in the bronze palace: "No matter how fast the Kunlun dreadnought is, it can't possibly get here from Mad Wind Island!"

"Have some patience."

"If he appears, I will notify you!"

After saying this, the Apostle of the Night unilaterally cut off communication with the Apostle of the Stars.

The Apostle of the Stars took a deep breath, its fingers pinching the refined special metal, a fanatical excitement in its eyes: "You are so beautiful! I can't wait to install you on my Miracle architecture!"

"Let time pass faster, faster!"

Kani City.

Since its initial attack, the Apostle of the Night had been hiding inside the giant steel city, refusing to show its face, only letting its Followers run rampant and kill in the city.

It believed that Li Tianran would definitely come. Even if he didn't come to save the soldiers in the city, he wouldn't abandon the city.

With the advent of the resource surge period, the importance of each city had greatly increased.

If the location of the mineral deposit was close to the city, you could mine and transport it in the shortest possible time, but once it was far away from the city, it would take a lot of time to transport the equipment over...

The Apostle of the Night guessed that after the resource surge period, Li Tianran would definitely try to expand the territory of the human world.

So, in this case, it was even less likely that Li Tianran would actively abandon a city and let it be completely destroyed!

...

The city center had become a hell on earth.

Large amounts of lava cooled and solidified into scalding stones. The Followers grinned in the city, finding soldiers hiding in the corners one by one, twisting off their heads, and tearing open their bodies.

The last mecha warrior was also damaged under the siege of dozens of Followers. It turned all its remaining energy into a terrifying explosion, blowing up three Followers before completely becoming scattered pieces of steel.

At this point, all of Kani City's defense forces were paralyzed.

In the whole city, there were only Followers left, only the revelry of monsters.

"There's no going back... there's no going back..." A soldier fell to the ground in despair, surrounded by the twisted corpses of his comrades. Although he was still alive, he had become an empty shell devoid of all soul. His eyes were numb, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him anymore.

He closed his eyes, just silently waiting for death to come.

But at this moment, his ears seemed to hear the sound of wind breaking in the sky, accompanied by the roar of a huge engine.

Then, an extremely dazzling light descended from the sky, illuminating the entire Kani City.

The soldier slowly opened his eyes, using his hand to block the blinding light, and looked towards the sky.

He saw...

A giant ship as big as a city!

The moment he saw it, the soldier's originally dejected eyes suddenly seemed to be infused with brilliance, and hot tears streamed from his eyes.

"That's... that's Kunlun!"

The soldier cried out loudly, "We are saved! We don't have to die!"

The mountain-like Kunlun dreadnought descended from the sky, and the dazzling light illuminated the city below as if it were daytime!

When all the soldiers in Kani City were desperately waiting to die, the Kunlun dreadnought finally arrived above the battlefield.

"Finally here..." In the giant steel city, the Apostle of the Night, seeing the appearance of the Kunlun dreadnought, not only did not feel frightened, but instead seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

It picked up the communicator and contacted the Apostle of the Stars, who had been waiting for news.

After the other party answered, the Apostle of the Night said succinctly, "The Kunlun dreadnought has appeared!"

The Apostle of the Stars forcibly suppressed the joy in its heart, but asked again in a deep voice, "Has it started a war with you? Will Li Tianran, after hearing that this mine has been attacked, abandon Kani City and turn around to support us here?"

"I will try my best to hold it back." As the Apostle of the Night spoke, suddenly, its voice suddenly increased by two degrees, accompanied by a roaring explosion in the background.

"What happened?" the Apostle of the Stars asked.

"Nothing... Li Tianran attacked me." The Apostle of the Night said in a deep voice, "According to my estimation, I can hold the Kunlun dreadnought for a maximum of ten minutes! And it will take at least ten minutes for Kunlun to get from here to your location!"

"You must complete the kill and plunder within twenty minutes, otherwise, if the time is longer, I can't guarantee anything!"

Hearing this, the Apostle of the Stars showed an excited smile: "Twenty minutes is enough!"
