Chapter 888: Guided Energy Missile!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
After venturing about hundreds of meter underground, Yue Zhong finally came across a room that had multiple handheld computers set up, with 20 humanoid robots standing guard as well.
The 20 humanoid robots were special assistants sought by Dou Meng especially for Bai Yi. With these robot assistants, it would be easier for Bai Yi to get things done.
Yue Zhong pulled out his handheld tablet and ordered, "Bai Yi, create some clones in these computers!"
"Yes!"
Her eyes began to flash with numbers, and the computers in the lab soon shone, and Bai Yi's image appeared on all of them.
After 5 seconds, the data disappeared from Bai Yi's eyes, as she reported, "Master, I've uploaded copies of myself into the computers."
Dou Meng was flabbergasted, asking in shock, "Just like that?"
The time that had passed was barely 5 seconds since Yue Zhong entered. Dou Meng was still expecting Yue Zhong to key in some things and perform some incredible feats with the handheld computer, after all, there were over 10,000 computers over here.
One of the Bai Yis inside a handheld tablet spoke up, "That's right! I'm already in."
Dou Meng looked at the computer and exclaimed in excitement, "This is great!! Finally, with these clones, we can stand up to Wei Ming Qing!"
Outside, the 200 City Guards that were decked in Type 4 Battle Suits and riding enhanced motorcycles appeared at the villa where the 4 Clan Heads had gathered.
This unit was the elite of the elite within the city guards, specially meant to massacre those large clans with a deep root in the city. Even if the clan had a Type 5 expert, they would be helpless against this unit.
The leader of the troop was an expert wearing a Type 5 Body Suit, and he pointed at the villa, barking, "Kill!! Leave nothing alive!!"
The eyes of the 200 City Guards flashed with an intense bloodlust, as they leaped out their vehicles excitedly, charging into the compound like wolves. It was like they could already see the countless people dying at their hands.
The moment the City Guards moved, the entire villa shuddered, as countless automatic weapons appeared and began firing madly at those soldiers.
Faced with that intense firepower, over 40 City Guards were immediately turned into sieves.
The rest of the 160 were able to maintain their reaction and quickly ducked behind cover the moment the defenses got to work.
"Hmph! The 4 Great Clans really are planning to rebel, to think they actually killed our men. This time, I must level all of them to the ground!!"
The Type 5 City Guard snorted and raised his Battle Spear, thrusting out at some of the defenses, completely obliterating them.
At the same time, he wielded a large energy shield, blocking the multiple beams that fired at him.
Right at this moment, a small hill about 3km away from the villa suddenly split open, as a number of missiles fired out from it, shooting towards the entrance of the villa.
The Type 5 City Guard saw the incoming guided missiles and his expression finally fell as he barked out frantically, "Guided Energy Missiles!! Damn it!! How come they have such weapons?! Retreat now!!"
When the City Guards heard the name of those missiles, their countenances turned pale, and they began to retreat with all their might, dispersing in all directions.
The moment those missiles landed on the ground, they blew up explosively, and the resulting blast shot outwards, leveling the surrounding area.
As the dust settled, many holes of about 6 or 7 meters deep were revealed. All around them, there were corpses in Type 4 Battle Suits, as well as some Type 4 Nuclei.
Those nuclei were truly hardy, the only way to destroy them was to suck them dry of their power.
The terrifying energy storm consumed the lives of over a hundred Type 4 City Guards in mere seconds, leaving the Type 5 City Guard leader and 30 others who were frightened out of their wits.
The bottom-line of the 4 Great Clans of the Capital had finally been forced out under Wei Ming Qing's madness.
The tyrant had not acted against them for so long because he did not know precisely just how much might they were hiding from him.
Initially, there were 5 families controlling the Cloud Region, with the Wei Clan being the strongest and largest, and thus, recommended for the Emperor's position. However, the rest were not to be taken lightly.
In these hundreds of years, Wei Ming Qing was the only Emperor who had dared act against the 4 Great Clans.
One of them asked the Type 5 leader, "General, what do we do?"
The leader had regained his senses and made a judgment call, "Retreat! The 4 Great Clans have rebelled, and we are not their match. The most important thing now is to report to Leader Wei Ye."
Upon giving the order, the remaining City Guards swiftly fled towards the inner city.
The hill also stopped firing the guided missile.
The strength of those missiles was too great, able to wipe out even a Type 5 Divine Warrior. However, they were weapons of war, suitable for dealing damage over a wide area. Against a single Type 5 Divine Warrior, it was like using a cannon on a mosquito, not worth the expenditure.
On top of the Capital's outer city walls, a burly man in black military uniform surveyed the region sternly. This was precisely the great general in charge of city defense, Wei Shou, and he was currently looking out at the city with worry.
The 4 corners were the 4 Great Clans, and the people within, from the common soldiers to the officers had been scouted over to their sides since long ago. Although Wei Shou was a general in name, he had no means of truly activating the 4 city guards in those areas.
One commander came up to him, "General!"
"How was it?"
The officer replied, "General Dou De, General Chen Yun, General Lu He and General Zhao Tan are delaying and refusing to come."
Wei Shou's face turned ugly as he cursed, "Damn bastards, do they hold the Emperor in their eyes?! Do they value the country at all?!"
