Shells rained down in dense bursts, creating clouds of dust that even the torrential rain couldn't clear. Many trolls were hit by the shells and blasted into pieces.

The earth shook violently.

"Prepare for the second round of bombing, fire!"

……

The deafening roar of cannons echoed.

The fortress wall is near the encampment.

Ah Da and Ah Er led two thousand vicious soldiers into the garrison's military camp.

Behind the two, the commander-in-chief rubbed his wrist from time to time. The bloodstains from the iron chains still stung, but he was overjoyed.

"Commander Jiang is truly a hero. He endured humiliation and even fooled me. I am quite prestigious, and helping the two of them take control of the garrison will not be a problem. After all, it is 100,000 soldiers."

Ah Da was slightly embarrassed upon hearing this. In fact, the leader hadn't really endured much humiliation. The dark creatures were feeding and caring for him, and his life was even more comfortable than before the expedition.

The three entered the military camp, and the blood transfusion began immediately. The commander-in-chief announced the verdict (false) of Silver City on the new Ninth Councilor. Taking this opportunity, he placed the evil soldiers in all the squad leader positions. The senior officers of the garrison were seriously dissatisfied, and a purge with many casualties broke out.

At the same time, the television station began broadcasting throughout the region.

"...Attention all citizens, the former Ninth Army Group, now the Dawn Legion, has taken over the entire city..."

"...The former speaker betrayed the fortress; his crime is unforgivable..."

"...Dark creatures have seized power, enslaving, killing, and persecuting the citizens. We will never allow this..."

"...The Dawn Legion adheres to the principles of respecting the King and expelling barbarians, and the supremacy of humanity, and has launched a purge against dark creatures and fortress traitors..."

"...Citizens, please take up arms and join the resistance! The Tyrannosaurus Rex leader and Sister Mia await you on the march..."

"...Down with darkness, sweep away the rebels, uphold the king and expel the barbarians!"

Through the Royal Bank, the Liaison Office immediately contacted the Silver City Royal Family.

An urgent imperial edict was issued, telegraphed to the entire alliance.

The emperor bypassed the Supreme Council and mobilized his forces to appoint Jiang He, the commander of the Dawn Legion, as the Deputy Minister of the Allied Army, thus legitimizing the war. Given that more than half of the council members had been killed or wounded, the Ninth Fortress urgently abolished the council and established a military-controlled zone.

The Sixth Fortress Speaker issued a statement pledging strong support for the restoration of order in the Ninth Fortress, and the first batch of relief supplies has already been dispatched.

The war of suppression broke out.

……

Outside the fortress, on a high mountain.

An elderly gentleman, dressed in a formal suit and leaning on a cane, walked to the top of the mountain. His bright red eyes looked down and saw the fortress engulfed in the roar of cannons.

"It's really interesting. Is it a matter of public sentiment or something else? Surely Mat Kavi wouldn't have fallen so low as to be abandoned by everyone."

The old gentleman observed the situation with great interest.

Seven military and administrative districts of the fortress fell into enemy control. The werewolf cavalry were unable to maneuver in the ruins and suffered a major rout, with casualties exceeding 100,000. The trolls were bombarded and also suffered heavy casualties. A large number of enemy troops were gathering on the road to advance from all directions, successfully thinning the spider demon defenses.

Queens is in imminent danger, yet the mechs inside remain motionless, clearly without any command.

As the current Speaker of the Dark Alliance and the true leader of the vampires, the old gentleman naturally knew that two more Dominator-class mechs were hidden beneath the Council Building. Each fortress possessed similar resources; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to withstand four Silver-level peak Dark Race leaders. Furthermore, commanding Dominator-class mechs was one of the key powers of a fortress-level Speaker.

“Makkhawi is in big trouble. I don’t want to make things worse.”

The old gentleman pondered for a moment, then leaned on his cane and descended the mountain. His original intention for this trip was to find out what Malkawi had been up to lately. His report on the matter of the progenitor was a complete mess, but now it seemed that the guy was going to ruin himself.

Chapter 260 Fortnite (Part 3)

Queens, Parliament House.

"...The Ninth Fortress is a strategically important location, with the Black and White Pass to the north and the Inverted Pass to the southwest. Holding these two passes, it is difficult for external enemies to enter the Ninth Fortress region. We need not worry about the Silver City's accusations..."

"...The newly formed parliament is comprised of many meritorious individuals, and each should rightfully shoulder their responsibilities..."

Mr. A was speaking eloquently on stage, but the violent shaking interrupted his speech.

This was the third time the shaking had occurred. At first, everyone thought it was an earthquake, since there was no sound. But after it happened again and again, everyone present realized that something was wrong.

The hall doors were kicked open, and a security battalion commander rushed in, heading straight for the podium.

"Sir, the commander won't let us go out to check the situation. He seems to have become a different person and doesn't recognize me as his younger brother anymore."

Mr. A gave the troll leader a look, and the latter glared at the former council president and the leader of the personal guard, Fist Peak, with hostility.

“It has nothing to do with me,” the Speaker of Parliament admitted, adding that he genuinely did not know what had happened.

"The meeting is adjourned, and all senior executives are to return to their posts immediately."

Mr. A demonstrated extraordinary decisiveness, and the plenary meeting was adjourned, which was a significant blow to his prestige.

Everyone stood up, and suddenly someone started coughing violently.

A military commander coughed, covered his mouth, and looked down to see black blood staining his palm. Moments later, he fainted and collapsed, his body showing severe signs of decay. He died in the blink of an eye.

Below the Silver level, high-ranking ability users can hold on for a few seconds, but ordinary ability users and hundreds of high-ranking individuals die of illness in an instant.

Congressman Black Wolf's pupils constricted. If the dose of this potent poison were sufficient and the exposure time long enough, even he might not be able to escape its effects.

Mr. A squinted his eyes; only one person in the entire room remained sitting calmly.

"Commander Jiang, these despicable methods are not the way a leader should act."

Jiang He remained expressionless upon hearing this. "Old boss, have you lost your mind being a politician? Violence breeds power. If I were you, I would have drawn my sword by now. Also, please address me as Legion Commander. Seven minutes ago, the Alliance Royal Family designated the Ninth Fortress as a military and political control zone. You are no longer the Speaker."

Upon hearing this, the council speaker, who was about to stand up and express his opinion, sat back down, completely bewildered.

"Incredibly audacious." Mr. A shook his head and chuckled.

boom!

The troll leader single-handedly lifted an entire row of chairs and hurled them at the enemy, the wind whistling through the air. Unlike most dominance-level abilities that require activation, Lifting Mountains tends to be more passive.

The chair fell like a sword, and Jiang He summoned the Long-Hate Dragon Spear.

The moment the silver spear appeared, a thick, pungent stench of blood seemed to pierce the soul, and faint, mournful howls rose and fell. Countless lives were slaughtered by this spear.

With a single shot, the intense light from the twelve smoke guns easily destroyed the chairs. The gunfire swept across, like an indestructible, long, sharp sword slicing through half of the council hall. Deep cracks spread across the walls, so intense that just looking at them was painful to the eyes.

The Twelve Wolf Smoke Gun gathers the shadows of twelve blood-red wolves. The power of each wolf shadow is equivalent to a full-force shot, with 20% of it being converted into penetrating damage. After being gathered and sublimated, its power increases dramatically.

Bang!

Before the troll leader, a shimmering werewolf figure appeared.

Councilor Black Wolf activated his Dominant-level ability, Diamond Body, which made his entire body as clear as a diamond. His ability granted him a body as strong as a diamond. In the realm of the extraordinary, diamond also symbolizes indestructible hardness. Among Dominant-level ability users, Councilor Black Wolf's defense is definitely among the best.

However, under the watchful eyes of several powerful figures, the dark red gun light, despite being forcibly resisted, still completely severed the left arm that the Black Wolf Councilor had raised. The severed area immediately rotted, the blood vessels and flesh withered, and the deadly poison invaded along the arm.

The Gun Master's true damage resulted in an effective strike.

The Black Wolf senator, in a fit of rage, ripped his left arm off his shoulder, causing blood to spray out and fall to the ground, turning into diamonds.

"Let's all attack together. This guy is too dangerous. Regardless of his life level, his combat strength should be at the elite level."

Without needing Councilor Black Wolf to provide his own assessment, Mr. A had already charged forward to the enemy's front.

His speed was so fast that even among those present who were all experts of the same level, it was difficult to catch his ghostly figure.

The dominant superpower, "Time Flies," granted Mr. A exceptional speed. He drew his noble rapier from his waist with unparalleled fluidity, a swordsmanship that seemed capable of cutting through anything.

The blade gleamed with a cold light. The noble armor of the Dark Viscounts contained the souls of powerful individuals, which could achieve all sorts of incredible effects. The effect of this sword was its extreme sharpness.

Whoosh!

The blade came hurtling towards them.

A jet-black armor instantly appeared on Jiang He's body, increasing his speed, strength, defense, spirit, and resistance by 60% across the board, allowing him to clearly detect the enemy's movements.

Abandon defensive moves.

Jiang He thrust the butt of the gun out with his left hand, striking the vacuum in front of him.

Ding!

The noble rapier struck the Overlord's Armor, which was of the highest grade and remained as solid as a mountain. Several pieces of the rapier's blade were knocked off, and the surface of the blade was covered with cracks.

Mr. A was struck in the chest by the butt of the gun. The 400-pound weight was converted into kinetic energy, with a force no less than that of a heavy truck with a sharp front end hitting him at full speed. He was sent flying backward with a bang, smashing through the podium and hitting the wall, like a cannonball shattering countless pieces of rock.

Blood poison, corrosion, and withering are three energy qualities that erode the body and soul, causing true damage that pierces through the chest from front to back, with more than a dozen different types of damage attacking simultaneously.

With just this one blow, Mr. A was seriously injured, and the vampire viscount's advanced self-healing ability worked hard to repair his injuries.

boom!

The troll leader pulled his spine back with both hands, and his steel-like bones rapidly multiplied into a massive hammer as tall as a man. He slammed it down in front of him, and a visible shockwave swept out.

A fierce wind swept through the entire hall, blowing away more than a dozen rows of seats. This pure power made the eyes of the fist-fighting champions in the distance burn with fervor.

A tremendous torrent surged forth, like a tsunami that crashed a thousand feet high. The tsunami struck the Overlord's armor with a deafening roar. Jiang He was thrown into the air, his internal organs churning violently. As he flew through the air, he flung out a blood-red short spear.

Whoosh!

The Black Wolf senator, who attempted to get close, was blasted away by the Blood Spear.

Mr. A landed on the wall and launched his attack again in a flash, but just as he shot out, an aluminum alloy snake suddenly rose from the ground and its gaping maw snapped shut.

In the corner, Consultant Gu formed a mudra with his hands, and the aluminum alloy snake burned fiercely. The sparks and fragments seemed to have terrifying temperatures, burning through the floor and emitting a sharp, piercing sizzling sound.

Mr. A was forced to stop, and threw the broken noble rapier in his hand. The blade pierced through the flames and shattered completely, shooting towards someone in a rain of fire.

shhhhhh!

Jiang He landed firmly, turned sideways and swung the gun, the silver disc deflecting all the sharp fragments and the intense aluminum flames.

puff!

A sound like a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out.

All the powerful figures present were taken aback.

A slender, transparent arm pierced through Jiang He's chest, while the Overlord's Armor, with its formidable defensive capabilities, remained intact. The spider demon woman smiled as she plunged the other arm into her body.

Jiang He felt a real and intense pain. Since the start of the war, everyone had been forced to ignore the existence of the Spider Demon. Its dominant ability was related to the mind. This concealment effect was likely related to the psychological aspect of invisibility. The opponent was currently in a strange mental state, and its mental attack bypassed the Overlord Armor's defense.

"Commander Jiang!" Advisor Gu's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He was about to make a move when Mr. A appeared and stopped him.

The troll leader charged forward, raising his noble hammer to bring it down.

The spider-woman raises her prey high to meet the judgment of the heavy hammer.

In an instant, Jiang He disappeared from the spot.

boom!

The heavy hammer shattered the spider demon woman, but she quickly materialized from the side, her face grim.

Jiang He arrived in front of Councilor Black Wolf. The blood-red short spear used to activate the Möbius Knight's position change disappeared. He raised the Long-Hate Dragon Spear with both hands and smashed it down with all his might without delay.

"Arrogant!" the Black Wolf Councilor roared, unleashing his full diamond body. Every inch of his flesh and blood, including his soul, was turning into diamond, creating a defensive form from which there was no turning back.

Suddenly, a dazzling, intense crimson light emanated from the silver spear. The power of the Twelve Wolf Smoke Spears, amplified by the Mountain Suppression, increased exponentially, sending a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Twenty-four smoke guns.

Bang!

The Black Wolf Councilor's diamond body was completely shattered by the spear, and the Soul Execution was activated, annihilating his soul.

Countless pieces of torn flesh splattered outwards, like cannonballs bombarding the entire hall, leaving deep craters the size of millstones everywhere. Bronze-rank beings below the level of the great powers simply could not stand here.

Chapter 261 Fortnite (Part 4)

Black Wolf, the councilor, was killed in action.

Jiang He frowned slightly. His powerful self-healing was not enough to repair the damage to his soul, but the spider demon woman's two penetrations that left his body unharmed were still fatal wounds.

The Möbius Time Loop is activated, and the user's state returns to the time before the attack.

In the blink of an eye, Mr. A arrived in front of him at lightning speed. Having lost his noble rapier, he summoned his vampire claws to attack, his speed so fast that afterimages filled the air with each strike.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The Overlord's Armor was indestructible; sharp claws rubbed against its surface, creating sparks, but could only leave faint marks.

Jiang He forcefully broke free from the dazed state caused by the damage to his soul, raised his spear and thrust it out, unleashing a powerful burst of internal energy.
