Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 1659 Outside the City Walls and Continuing Onward

As the black-robed Eclipse Destroyer finished speaking, a powerful pressure surged from his body, causing the other demigod Eclipse Destroyers, who were already trembling, to feel dizzy and almost lose their footing.

"The villain dare not!"

The demigod "Erosion" destroyer immediately knelt down, breathing heavily, clearly the one most severely affected by the pressure.

"Very well, you could also disrupt the currently gushing magical ley lines and cause them to go berserk, couldn't you?"

The black-robed Eclipse Destroyer nodded in satisfaction and said calmly, "Go ahead and do it. I don't have much patience."

Upon hearing this, just as the group of demigod eclipsers were about to accept their orders, a slender, tall, hooded figure suddenly appeared, followed by a clear, slightly mocking voice:

"The Executive Officer is so imposing! He's so intimidating that I can hardly move."

Following the sound, one could see that the newcomer also had the emblem of the "Erosion" wielder engraved on his towering chest. His delicate, fair face was only half covered by crystal clusters, and unlike other "Erosion" wielders, he did not appear ferocious and terrifying. Instead, he possessed a strange and alluring charm.

What is most striking is that the newcomer has a pair of pure white ear wings, with extremely fine-looking feathers, which is the Ear Wing Destroyer.

Although it did not exude the same overwhelming aura as the black-robed "Erosion" destroyer, it still faintly emanated a dangerous aura, causing those demigod-level "Erosion" destroyers to feel terrified, as if it were a monster.

"Didn't you return to headquarters to report on your work?"

The black-robed Eclipse Destroyer glanced at the Earwing Eclipse Destroyer and said indifferently, "You actually managed to sneak into my city without a sound. You really have some nerve."

"A performance review is just a matter of a few minutes."

The Earwing Destroyer shrugged, casually and arrogantly saying, "Besides, I didn't sneak in; I walked in openly and honestly. It's just that no one dared to stop me."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed "Erosion" warrior's lips, covered in crystal clusters, twitched slightly, but he also seemed somewhat helpless.

Although this guy made a mistake and is no longer an executive officer, he still has to show him respect because of his seniority and his familiarity with the top-ranking senior executives.

"Just tell me straight, what exactly do you want?"

The black-robed "Erosion" Destroyer frowned slightly and asked the "Erosion" Destroyer with ear wings.

"I just heard that you're planning to trigger a magical ley line rampage to raze that directly controlled market to the ground, is that right?"

The Earwing Destroyer didn't beat around the bush, and said with a smile, "That won't do. I don't agree with you doing that."

"I may be lenient with you, but don't push your luck!"

The black-robed "Erosion" wielder's forehead veins bulged instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "This time, I am the supreme commander responsible for eliminating these prey. Even the elders cannot interfere with my orders, let alone you!"

"Young people are just hot-tempered, don't get angry."

The Earwing Destroyer maintained a faint smile and said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"For my own good?"

The black-robed "Erosion" snorted coldly, somewhat disdainfully saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but you have no say here."

Having said that, the black-robed Eclipse Destroyer looked at the demigod Eclipse Destroyers who were still observing and shouted coldly, "What are you all standing there for? I already said that I don't have much patience!"

Just as the demigod "Eclipse" destroyers were about to accept their orders again, they were stopped by the "Eclipse" destroyers with ear wings waving their hands.

The Eclipse-wielding figure with its hands behind its back stepped forward, looking rather playful, and winked its starry eyes at the black-robed Eclipse-wielding figure, saying, "Are you sure? If you really do that, you might be in big trouble."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Although the black-robed "Erosion" destroyer wasn't buying into the "Erosion" destroyer's" cute act, he was still intrigued by the other party's words and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Don't you find it strange that the other party deliberately chose to guide the surge of magical ley lines in the central area of ​​this desolate land?"

The Earwing Destroyer didn't keep them in suspense any longer, casually saying, "In my opinion, there must be a conspiracy involved, and it's very likely related to the ancient remains here."

"Are you saying that those 'Eclipses' are trying to use the giant ancient remains for something? Based on the information we currently have, there doesn't seem to be any connection between the 'Eclipses' and the ancient remains."

The black-robed Eclipse-wielder frowned even more deeply and pressed, "How did you deduce that there's a connection between the two?"

"You, an executive officer who has only been in office for a few hundred years, naturally wouldn't know, but I have been investigating the connection between 'Eclipse' and the ancient remains for a long time. Although progress has been limited, many signs indicate that the two are not entirely unrelated, but the specifics are still unclear."

The Eclipse-Eared One, with a half-smile, continued, "And this is a good opportunity for us to investigate further. If you simply raze this place to the ground, wouldn't you be erasing any potential clues as well?"

"You know, this is something those high-ranking guys have been extremely concerned about. If they find out that you destroyed this rare clue without explanation, do you think those hot-tempered guys won't be angry with you?"

The smile on the lips of the Earwing Destroyer deepened, and he winked at the black-robed Destroyer, saying, "I was expelled from the ranks of the Executors by accident, while you are just a newcomer. If you offend them, wouldn't you be in deep trouble?"

"This……"

The expression on the face of the black-robed "Erosion" hidden under his hood became somewhat doubtful. Then, he gritted his teeth and said to himself, "But I have not received any orders that restrict me, so I can act according to my own ideas."

"What you said isn't wrong; I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder."

Seeing that the other party was already wavering, the Earwing Destroyer raised her eyebrows and said, "But I have a better plan to avoid all this. If you don't want to listen, then forget it."

"...What method is it?"

After much deliberation, the black-robed "Erosion" destroyer couldn't help but ask the question.

"Then naturally I will personally go deep into the enemy's lair to investigate the specific situation."

The Earwing Destroyer smiled and said casually, "Although the absolute confinement barrier of the enemy city does block the outside world, it is no different from being useless to me."

At this point, the Earwing Destroyer nodded to the other party again and added, "Don't worry, you are the commander this time, and I am just a captain who happened to pass by. So all the credit is yours."

"I'm giving you half a day. If there's still no news after half a day, don't blame me for carrying out the plan I just made. Even if you're still in it, I won't be merciful."

The black-robed Eclipse's voice remained calm as he replied, "After all, you're just a passing captain; I had no idea you were inside."

At this point, the black-robed "Erosion" added, seemingly unintentionally, "Although ordinary magic explosions are unlikely to affect you, don't forget that the explosion might mix fragments of the magic barrier into it. Once you come into contact with that thing, even you will be reduced to ashes."

"Hehe, thanks for the reminder, I'm off then."

The 'Erosion' creature with ear wings donned a hood, appearing fearless and expectant.

Just as she was about to take a step, the black-robed "Erosion" destroyer's question rang out again from behind: "What is there there that is worth your personal risk?"

"It's nothing, just a pet that I'm quite interested in."

The Earwing Destroyer uttered its last words and vanished instantly before the other Destroyers.

Before long, the slender and graceful figure of the Earwing Destroyer quietly appeared at the foot of the city wall of the Direct Market.

"Captain, is everything you just said true?"

The bear-man who accompanied them, the "Eclipse" destroyer, couldn't help but ask in a gruff voice, "Are those big shots really secretly investigating the connection between the ancient remains and the 'Eclipse'?"

After the bear-man who destroyed the "Eclipse" finished speaking, the other "Eclipse" destroyers all cast curious glances at him.

They knew more or less about these ancient remains. Although they were not the target of the "Erosion" Exterminators, it was hard not to wonder if there was a real connection between the two.

"Of course, it was just something I made up on the spot. Maybe those guys really were investigating. Anyway, I've never investigated any of this. Luckily, that burly guy is a blockhead."

The Earwing Destroyer shrugged and then said to his subordinates, "Alright, I'll go in myself. You all stay outside and keep an eye on everything around us."

"But Captain, we're worried about you going alone!"

A hint of worry welled up in the eyes of the Leopard Man Who Destroyed "Erosion," and he couldn't help but blurt it out.

The other "Erosion" destroyers all nodded in agreement, showing the same expression.

There are quite a few demigods among them, and their strength is all at the half-step seventh level, which is obviously extremely dangerous. It seems that although the captain is usually very strict and harsh, he still cares about them.

"Have you all made a mistake?"

Looking at this heartwarming scene that didn't belong to the "Erosion" Destroyer, the Ear-Wing "Erosion" Destroyer smiled helplessly, then bluntly said, "I'm not worried about your safety, I just find you in the way. Do you understand now?"

Having said that, the Earwing Destroyer vanished from everyone else's sight in a flash.

"Young Emperor of the Human Race, this place is a death ground where many top-tier powerhouses gather."

"And you are merely someone who hasn't even reached the threshold of a first-rate power. You're probably struggling in the cracks, aren't you? Let me see what you've been doing here. If you die, I'll be very disappointed."

……

Traveling at breakneck speed, under Lei Xiao's command, the group of powerful individuals quickly arrived at the central area of ​​the directly controlled market.

Throughout this process, the team maintained a relatively high morale.

It should be noted that this place currently gathers 20 demigods from forest elves, light elves, and dark elves, plus His Majesty the human race at the core, who can share the power to fight against enemies. How could this not make all the powerful figures feel at ease?
However, as soon as the group entered the area, Jane frowned.

"Your Majesty, the scouts at the front have sent word that this place..."

Jane's tone became somewhat hesitant as she solemnly reported to Lei Xiao, "They say this place is no different from purgatory!"

As Jane finished speaking, a familiar stench of decay assaulted their senses, accompanied by eerie, pulsating sounds.

Feeling the extremely unsettling environment, after the group turned a corner, despite being somewhat prepared, the scene before them still sent chills down everyone's spine.

Everywhere you look, whether it's the streets, the buildings on both sides, or even the flower beds and streetlights, everything is completely covered by that dark substance that shimmers with an eerie luster.

As for those cocoons that exude a strange rhythm, they are everywhere, under the eaves, in alleys, and even inside buildings, densely packed and countless.

What's even more chilling is that the dark matter is still writhing wildly, constantly extending to other areas, including the cocoons, which are growing rapidly.

"I never expected them to openly display their 'Erosion' breeding farm; it's utterly shocking."

Helena's eyebrows furrowed as she asked Lei Xiao, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Upon hearing this, the other powerful figures all cast questioning glances at Lei Xiao, awaiting his orders.

There were so many cocoons here, and many more were still emerging, leaving everyone feeling at a loss as to where to begin.

"Continue toward the core of the central area, and along the way erase the cocoons we can see. We don't need to worry about the others; we don't have that much time."

Lei Xiao nodded to everyone without hesitation.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that, based on his previous experience in clearing the two "Erosion" breeding grounds, it was not difficult to see that these dark substances also had a kind of array eye that was constantly absorbing energy, and since the dark substances here were so large, the energy consumed must also be extremely large.

And now, the only energy source he can think of is the gushing magical ley lines.

In other words, only by penetrating deep into the enemy's lair and ending everything can we completely eliminate these threats. Otherwise, we will only be wasting our own strength, and the only outcome will be exhaustion.

Upon hearing Lei Xiao's command, all the powerful figures composed themselves and flew out once again.

Wherever the group went, the cocoons turned to ashes. At the same time, a giant castle drew closer and closer to them; it was the very heart of this land favored by the gods.

But just as they drew closer to their destination, the scene before them left everyone speechless once again. (End of Chapter)
