Xu Yancheng ordered his men to bring a mortar.
Seeing the weapon, Wang Hu finally understood.
The range of the Arrow Tower was limited, so... as long as they attacked from outside its range, there would be no problem.
The mortar was positioned, one Awakener loaded the shell into the barrel, another adjusted the angle.
White smoke poured from the muzzle, the shell landed near the Arrow Tower, kicking up dust and sand.
These Awakeners were not skilled with the mortar; the accuracy was not high, but the Arrow Tower couldn't fight back, and after several shots, it was already on the verge of collapse.
Indeed, everything was as he had anticipated.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the whole mortar burst apart, and the two Awakeners operating it were slightly injured.
Xu Yancheng's gaze sharpened, "There's a sniper, Blind Girl, find me the sniper's location."
His eyes quickly swept around, yet his heart was not the slightest bit panicked.
Just one mortar was lost, they still had many such weapons, instead, the people from Green Shadow hastily coming out to destroy the mortar showed...
The Arrow Tower was their opponent's last resort.
Blind Girl opened her gray-white eyes, scanning the surroundings, and soon pointed toward a dense forest formed by wild shrubby growth.
Xu Yancheng was about to give an order.
But Wang Hu suddenly burst out, "Leave the people there to me, I've been impatient for a while now."
Without further explanation, he waved and led an elite contingent of the Tiger Leopard Team, rushing toward the distance.
Xu Yancheng shook his head and no longer cared about Wang Hu's actions.
He ordered again for all teams around the Arrow Tower to use the mortars, aiming to destroy the tower.
Then he turned and asked Blind Girl, "How much longer can you sustain your ability?"
"Under normal conditions, only three minutes," Blind Girl replied.
"And if you spare no expense?"
"Up to five minutes at most."
"Good, prepare for real-time monitoring, notify me immediately if there's any activity at the Lindong Sanctuary."
In the forest, Wang Hu led the way, far outpacing his elite subordinates.
Being a Transformation series ability user, he transformed into the king of the jungle, absolutely in his element in this environment.
As the distance between the two sides rapidly closed, Wang Hu forcefully launched himself from the ground, his speed exploding again as he leaped through the forest.
Suddenly, the underbrush ahead thinned, and he saw the retreating Awakener ahead; Wang Hu grinned, leapt high into the air, and landed with a boom right in front of the fleeing figure.
The ground cracked inch by inch.
Wang Hu got a good look at the man – his physique was not inferior to his own, sporting a sleek back hairstyle, wearing sunglasses, and indeed, there was a sniper rifle on his back.
He eyed Shay like prey.
Behind him, the elite members of the Tiger Leopard Team also caught up, effectively cutting off Shay's retreat.
Licking his lips, Wang Hu said, "None of you intervene, this toy is mine, heh heh, I hope you last a long time."
In his perception, Shay's aura was at the Fourth Layer, which made him a durable toy for Wang Hu.
Little did he know, that level of aura was deliberately controlled by Shay.
Seeing the timing was about right,
Shay removed his sunglasses and lightly flicked them, sending the sunglasses flying into the sky, as he looked at the other Tiger Leopard Team Awakeners blocking the retreat route behind him, then turned to Wang Hu, "Exactly, I was thinking the same."
Immediately, gunshots rang out, members of the Patrol Team who had been lying in ambush on both sides opened fire, catching the elite members of the Tiger Leopard Team off guard, and several were seriously wounded.
Wang Hu took a quick glance, "An ambush? Under absolute power, nothing is useful!"
He wasn't worried about his team members; these elite teams generally possessed Third Layer strength. As long as they could react, the threat from the firearms was not significant. Real Awakeners relied on their fists.
Like a ferocious tiger, he lunged directly at Shay, kicking up clouds of dust as he charged.
As a Fifth Tier Peak Awakener stuck at that bottleneck, Wang Hu had ample confidence in himself. In Lindong Sanctuary, apart from a few individuals, hardly anyone could match him.
Not even block his punch!
To make the fight more enjoyable, Wang Hu even held back a bit of his strength, yet the punch was still fierce, carrying a whistling wind.
He aimed it at Shay's chest.
A deafening impact sounded, like two large trucks colliding. However, to Wang Hu's astonishment, his punch was blocked.
Even though he hadn't used his full punching power, this punch should have at least sent this Fourth Layer opponent flying.
He sensed around and discovered that Shay's strength had risen to the Fifth Tier.
"A breakthrough mid-battle, eh? Good, this way it'll be more fun."
Outside the range of the Arrow Tower, Xu Yancheng had mortar cannons brought in and the two mortars fired simultaneously without any hiccups. Soon, the black tower collapsed amidst a series of explosions.
"Good, once the other teams have removed those Arrow Towers, Green Shadow Sanctuary will be like a tiger without its claws... no wait, at most like a wild boar without fangs. Then the team can push forward and trap the survivors of Green Shadow Sanctuary in the resort."
Although little useful information had been gathered from inside Green Shadow Sanctuary, Xu Yancheng had studied the layout of the resort.
The whole resort backed onto a mountain, with cliffs behind it, a terrain that normally helped defend against Demonized Beasts, requiring only one side to be guarded. But similarly, once blocked, the survivors of Green Shadow Sanctuary would be trapped like turtles in a jar.
By then, arrange their mortars at the main gate; they would be able to bombard most parts of the resort. Even if Green Shadow Sanctuary had a trump card, it would be useless.
As one piece of good news after another arrived, Xu Yancheng was just about to give an order.
Beside him, a blind girl with grayish-white pupils, who had been keeping her eyes open and staring intently into the distance, suddenly spoke up, "A team has just rushed out of the side gate of the resort; they are moving fast."
Xu Yancheng frowned, "What's the capability of this team, how many people?"
"Around fifteen or twenty, including three with the aura of Third Layer strength, but there are also a few ordinary people."
The capability was unevenly distributed, yet their movement was quick.
They were using a vehicle.
Probably trying to escape.
He immediately ordered, "Have the surrounding teams go intercept them, don't let them escape!"
A team member responsible for communication picked up the radio. While signal interference severely limited the communication distance, for Lin Wei, this was a minor issue. The whole team was equipped with many radios; what they lacked in quality, they made up in quantity. Even with some delay, this method of transmission was much faster than sending runners.
But before the radio was even switched on,
the blind girl made a new discovery, "They haven't escaped, they've already encountered the intercepting team outside."
"Oh, what's the situation?" Xu Yancheng raised an eyebrow.
With a hint of surprise on her face, the blind girl took a while before slowly saying, "Several members of the intercepting team have already lost their life signs."
Xu Yancheng was momentarily taken aback.
Something seemed off!
