“Chaos! Order Manipulation!”
A strange glow appeared in Mo Fan’s eyes. It was the same mysterious silver as the s.p.a.ce Element, but it had a slight hint of a sinister and evil aura!
“That pig, didn’t he see the Wind Wars.h.i.+p is targeting us? The next Wind Gear Wheel will be coming right at us!” Zhao Manyan swore.
Not only did Black Chimpanzee Mason have a bad temper, he was brainless, too!
The tornado forming above the cold storage fort was an obvious sign that the Wind Wars.h.i.+p was about to fire another Wind Gear Wheel.
They were supposed to spread out and find some cover behind nearby objects or let the Earth Mages set up sand dunes to defend them so their troop would not be wiped out by the Wind Gear Wheel!
Unfortunately, Zhao Manyan was not commanding the troop, and no one dared to disobey Major Mason’s order.
—
The deadly wind descended from above the fort.
The remaining soldiers of the a.s.sault troops had almost reached the fort, but their minds went blank when the destructive wind poured down at them.
Humans had trouble reacting when an enormous object was coming their way, since their subconscious was telling them they would not be able to dodge the object no matter which direction they moved in.
They would simply stand still when they were left with no escape, as if they could no longer respond to the situation.
A ferocious wind swept past the soldiers. Even the air it stirred up was as deadly as the shredder of a heavy tractor.
However, the soldiers were surprised when they saw the Wind Gear Wheel going off-track and barely brush them.
—
“We are blessed by Forneus! We are blessed by Forneus!” Mason shouted at the top of his lungs.
It missed! The powerful Wind Gear Wheel missed!
He had thought his men were all going to die, yet he was blessed by his G.o.ddess once again!
It was common for a missile to miss its target amid the rain of fire in a chaotic battle.
However, it was rare for them to survive a second round of spells. The soldiers who were shredded into mincemeat in the previous attack clearly did not share their luck.
“Quick, climb up there!”
The soldiers of the Federation’s army who had survived the second round of Wind Gear Wheel started climbing the walls of the fort.
A troop of Brown Rebels was defending the lower section of the fort. The Wind Wars.h.i.+p was their main support. It would not allow the Federation’s army to come any closer.
“Mo Fan, we have to destroy the Wind Wars.h.i.+p. Otherwise, the Federation’s army will lose a lot of their men here,” Zhao Manyan spoke up.
They had witnessed the strength of the Wind Wars.h.i.+ps before. The Federation’s army had to destroy the forts in this half of the city to reclaim Banlo City.
The fort only had a single Wind Wars.h.i.+p guarding it, but the Brown Rebels had at least a dozen of them!
“I know, they are most likely the Brown Rebels’ trump card, since they allow low-level Mages to cast a spell that is as deadly as a Super Spell,” Mo Fan agreed.
“I’ll go, this fort is like a beehive with many holes. You might struggle to take out the people who are hiding inside it,” Mu Bai volunteered.
“You shouldn’t go alone. We’ll wait for the rest of the army. We can’t afford to be exposed. Otherwise, the Brown Rebels will send powerful Mages after us,” Mo Fan warned him.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
The three did not dare to do anything too reckless. After all, the Brown Rebels might be alerted if the battle suddenly became one-sided in favor of the Federation’s army!
—
“You three… how are you still alive!?” Mason blurted out in astonishment.
“We have no idea, I think they are more focused on our Intermediate Mages,” Mo Fan replied helplessly.
“d.a.m.n it, there’s no way we can break into the fort. We have no idea how many enemies there are inside!” Mason cursed.
“Sir, I have some special seeds. You can pa.s.s them to the soldiers behind us,” Mu Bai offered patiently.
“What difference are these seeds going to make? We are fighting a war, this isn’t a farm!” the apish man shouted in frustration.
“Just ask them to bring the seeds along with them. I’m a Plant Mage. These seeds will blossom into vengeful flowers when the soldiers die. They will eliminate a lot of enemy soldiers,” Mu Bai told him.
“Are you being serious?” Mason asked carefully.
Mason was desperate enough to try everything they had. He knew his men would eventually be killed by the endless Fire and Lightning that was pouring down from the fort if they were to climb the walls mindlessly.
He pa.s.sed the seeds to his men and asked them to pa.s.s the seeds to the rest of the soldiers who were approaching behind them.
——
Vengeful Seeds!
When the people carrying them died, these seeds would rapidly absorb the energy of their bearers and blossom into a magical flower that shot out spikes in every direction for five seconds.
The inside of the fort was like a maze. The Brown Rebels were hiding in the shadows, preventing their enemies from reaching the Wind Wars.h.i.+p at the top.
Even if Mo Fan tried to make his way to the top, he would waste a lot of time trying to locate the soldiers who were hiding in the shadows.
However, things were a lot simpler with the help of the Vengeful Seeds.
Every soldier in the a.s.sault troop was carrying a Vengeful Seed with them. If they were unharmed, they would make their way closer to the Wind Wars.h.i.+p.
If they were killed by the Brown Rebels in the fort, the Vengeful Seeds would kill the enemies nearby!
Mu Bai was hesitant to use the evil magic, which basically turned the soldiers into suicide bombers. After all, the seeds were only useful when their bearers died!
However, he had no other choice under the circ.u.mstances. No one had the right to call themselves innocent after taking part in the war.
The trio already had their hands covered in blood. Even if they ended up being executed by the Brown Army, they had made their own choices!
——
The Vengeful Seeds did not make a difference at first, but as more soldiers invaded the fort, ghastly cries kept echoing down the halls.
The soldiers of the Brown Army were human, too.
They no longer dared to show themselves when they saw the Federation’s army using such a self-destructive method to take them down.
Little did they know, there were a lot of unreliable soldiers in the Federation’s army, too.
They ended up falling into the traps and ambushes inside the fort because of their own stupidity and lack of strength. It was their deaths that had activated the Vengeful Seeds, but the Brown Rebels thought the Federation’s army had sent out a suicide squad to destroy the fort.
It was difficult for an army to win a battle once they lost their morale.
The Brown Rebels who were protecting the Wind Wars.h.i.+p retreated. The Wind Wars.h.i.+p powered by two thousand Wind Mages was the only thing left protecting the fort!
