Chapter 491: Chapter 347: Advancement
Lizardmen clans gathered in Dongpu City in significant numbers, but in relation to the over seventy thousand human captives they had seized, they had to keep a close watch on the humans to prevent any mishaps.
Moreover, Dongpu City was not their stronghold; the mist had not been completely dispelled, and He Yuan and Zhang Da quickly evacuated from Dongpu City.
It was not just them; other reconnaissance team members also withdrew from Dongpu City one after another, returning to the temporary camp to report their findings to Zhu Xiong and the others.
Bang
Zhu Xiong’s fist, as big as a sandbag, slammed down onto the table, his eyes flickering with a cold light as he said in a sinister voice, “Caught so many people and still thinking of running?”
He was not an easygoing person; during the many days spent encircling and suppressing the Lizardman Tribes, he had clearly observed their beast-like behavior.
...
Although there were no acts of humiliation due to species differences, scenes of humans being gutted, skinned, and dismembered were ubiquitous.
His anger had not subsided.
With a somber expression, Guo Gang said, “Based on the current intelligence, they’ve captured at least fifty thousand people, maybe even more, all held in basements and buildings. If we really start to fight, we’ll surely have to be careful not to harm the mice.”
The Lizardmen had to die, but attacking recklessly when that could mean tens of thousands of lives was out of the question.
Zhu Xiong pondered and then spoke, “There are over a dozen tribes gathered inside Dongpu, and if we were to attack them, most likely they’re not of one mind; the situation could become chaotic and unpredictable.”
The more they fought against the Lizardmen, the more they understood the social structure of the Lizardmen; it was a community based on tribes.
Within a tribe, actions and will were highly unified; they were fierce and fearless of death, with the tribe’s leader, the Priest, dictating their actions which were then carried out without question by the Lizardmen below.
“The humans are here!”
The Lizardmen guards quickly noticed the traces of these massive objects and loudly sounded the alarm, startling the tribe into action.
They rushed out of the buildings lining the streets, and Bipedal Lizard Beasts and Lizard Mount Beasts charged onto the streets, roaring.
Lizardmen armed with javelins took positions in tall buildings, launching javelins coated with Spiritual Energy at the armored vehicles with tremendous speed, piercing through them halfway.
Attacks imbued with Spiritual Energy were incomparable to ordinary throws.
“Damn it, kill them!”
The soldiers in the vehicle were shocked, but anger quickly took over as they set up machine guns and opened fire.
Flames blazed as Spiritual Energy bullets rained down.
Mecha with Spiritual Energy exoskeletons also entered the battlefield at this moment, dodging javelins and moving quickly through the fray; their shoulder-mounted cannons began pounding the areas densely packed with Lizardmen.
Explosions roared and shrieks filled the air as Lizardmen were blown to the ground.
“Stop them!”
The Lizardmen, ferocious in appearance, faced the onslaught like a steel flood; although fearful, they were crazed enough to rush forward.
Lizard Beasts kept charging, and in an instant, the street became a battleground of fire, blood, and strewn limbs.
Second Order and Third Order Lizardmen also rushed to the scene, Lizard Priests clutching bone staves, muttering incantations as Spiritual Energy quickly gathered, forming a powerful black wind sweeping towards the Tree Domain Troops.
