Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 586 - 585: Fight Your Way Out
CHAPTER 586: CHAPTER 585: FIGHT YOUR WAY OUT
Tito is dead, and Gu Country generals here were slaughtered like lambs by the mighty Flame Winged Dragon. If not now, when will we ever rise up?!
"Rise up! Rise up! Rise up!!!"
Someone in the crowd was shouting loudly, not caring about the whip wounds on their body, rushing out to grab the weapons of the Gu Country Soldiers who had died.
"Rebel against them! Fight your way out!!!"
Over a thousand people, their blood boiling, all shouting in unison.
Everyone looked towards Lin Hao; everyone was waiting for Lin Hao’s command. Now, Lin Hao had become their savior without even realising it.
Lin Hao naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity; after all, it was his main mission, although he hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly.
Casually throwing Tito’s head into the crowd, Lin Hao raised his arm and shouted loudly: "Liberate all the slaves, follow me and fight your way out!!"
"Charge!!"
A deafening war cry erupted, followed by someone leading the way towards the direction of the mines.
In this Gu Country Mine, there were at least 300,000 Earthling slaves and another 300,000 slaves from various other races, most of whom were mining under the supervision of the miners at this time.
When trouble started here, it quickly caused a huge uproar.
However, the Gu Country generals were now being decimated at the execution ground by Lin Hao and the Flame Winged Dragon, with only a few survivors managing to escape.
Without any ability to form a strong formation in the mines, the Gu Country Soldiers were like flies without heads.
Lin Hao mounted the Flame Winged Dragon, leading the thousand-plus slaves, and quickly liberated the unemployed slaves, then continued to fight their way towards the mine.
These slaves were not to be trifled with; aside from the Earthling Cultivators, a large majority were war captives. Their Cultivation and combat power were not weak, it was only because their powers had been sealed.
Where Lin Hao went, he lifted these seals, and the number of slaves following him grew more and more, their power ever-increasing.
In less than an hour, the massive mine was ablaze with fire, and the sounds of fighting were incessant.
With the existence of the Emperor Level Flame Winged Dragon, the Gu Country Soldiers without command and unable to form a formation suffered heavy casualties, and many of them even fled at the sight.
It took half a day, just half a day, for soldiers from Gu Country to no longer dare to show their faces in the mine.
"Sect Hierarch, apart from us Earthlings, there are also 300,000 slaves from other races, with a combined total of 630,000. However, a lot of them have died today, leaving only 300,000," the old man reported the post-battle situation beside Lin Hao while supported by several Earthlings, after retrieving documents from Prince Tito’s office.
As night fell, the flames had long engulfed the area.
The mine had burst into raging flames, the liberated slaves were burning and looting everywhere, with no signs of stopping since it began.
The old man was holding documents plundered from Prince Tito’s office and, with the help of several Earthlings, approached Lin Hao to report the aftermath.
By now, Lin Hao had revealed his identity. He had also searched Prince Tito’s room but found nothing except for some recreational drugs for the bedroom.
"Sect Hierarch, we should evacuate quickly. Otherwise, when the Gu Country military responds and cuts off our retreat, the remaining 300,000 here will have no choice but to face annihilation," said the old man, his expression intense and anxious, as he took out a map to analyze the situation.
Lin Hao just glanced at it before stopping the old man.
He was well aware of the situation.
The fire in the mine had been burning for a day, and the inside of the mine was a river of blood—Lin Hao was well aware of this too.
"Like this, send an order down: all Earthlings, march in formations. As for the other slaves, let them go wherever they wish; we won’t force them," Lin Hao gave his orders, then turned to leave.
The old man was startled but said nothing more, simply instructing others to do as Lin Hao had said.
Half an hour later, the gates of the Gu Country Mine fortress were flung open, with Lin Hao riding the Flame Winged Dragon leading at the front followed by a line of Earthling slaves. On the open land, they formed a long Fire Dragon procession.
300,000 people, once they left the fortress, scattered in different directions, leaving behind only a handful of alien slaves besides the Earthlings.
These people followed the team, Lin Hao paid them no mind.
But, traveling from the mine to Lin City, such an army march would take at least ten days.
Such a large troop taking ten days, it was impossible not to be discovered.
Lin Hao was now worried that the Gu Country’s army would come to assassinate them.
However, what Lin Hao didn’t expect was that along the way, there would be no obstruction, not even small skirmishes. It was as if the Gu Country’s army had disappeared without a trace from start to finish.
By the time they arrived at Lin City, the troop had undergone another selection.
This time, upon learning that these Earth people were heading to the Lin City Camp, those alien slaves were not willing to follow anymore.
A day’s journey away from Lin City, the alien slaves following the troop left without a trace. Even many Earth people secretly sneaked off and escaped from the team.
Lin Hao was aware of these things, but he did not care.
These Earth people were basically born and bred in the Upper Realm Plane. In their eyes, the Earth people no longer had a place to hide, and gathering together made them a bigger target, more susceptible to being encircled and suppressed.
Going to Lin City? That was no different from courting death.
Those who left, left; what remained were those willing to share life and death, a force to be trusted.
Out of the three hundred thousand Earth people, Lin Hao managed to rescue over one hundred and sixty thousand, though the losses were heavy, it was also inevitable.
Most of these dead were killed by the desperate Gu Country overseers during mining, such losses were hard to avoid.
Another day, and the troop finally returned to Lin City.
Lin Guodong came out thirty miles from the city to welcome them, and erected another camp to the left of the existing camp.
Originally, there were only a few thousand Earth people in the camp, and now, out of nowhere, over a hundred thousand more appeared, making the Earth people’s strength seem to swell considerably.
Next, was to arm them, to equip everyone with high-tech weaponry.
During these days, Lin Guodong and his people had also produced quite a number of weapons in the camp.
Basically, they were focused on individual heavy firepower, with the least being submachine guns, the usual production was Gatling guns.
However, these firearms were made using materials from the Upper Realm Plane, their power incomparable to the weaponry that Lin Hao had brought.
"Having them is better than nothing."
Overall, Lin Hao was satisfied with Lin Guodong’s work; after all, there was still plenty of equipment obtained from Gu Country, next would be to select the right people to equip and after training for a few days, everything seemed to fall into place.
Another day passed, and Fatty and Avril also returned.
There was plenty of good news; with the efforts of the two, Elf Country decided to risk it all, sending armies to support them, preparing to join forces with Lin Hao and advance on the Gu Country Imperial City together.
But there was also no shortage of bad news.
That was that the armies of the nearby Six Countries were also converging on the Gu Country Imperial City, planning to join the Gu Emperor in a decisive battle against the Earth people.
This was something Lin Hao hadn’t expected.
Six Countries, plus Gu Country, so many armies against the army of Earth people, the disparity in forces was truly too great.
The key was that the individual strength of Earth people was inadequate, they were not a regular army, and they solely relied on high-tech weapons for support. But if the firepower was insufficient...
Lin Hao suddenly became worried; the Earth people’s army was fundamentally weak with no supplies. Not to mention the depletion of ammunition and provisions, the combat vehicles here might be able to block the charge of the Seven Countries’ armies, but it was impossible to fully protect over a hundred thousand people!
He feared that when the Seven Countries charged together, only a few thousand within the combat vehicle ranks would survive!
This... how could they still fight?
Lin Hao became worried.
