Chapter 78: A Monstrous Civilization’s Total Combat Power

"There really is one! And it’s even a complete system!"Li Ye exclaimed in awe. However, after observing carefully for a while, he couldn’t help but frown. Although these Goblin vehicles and weapons were all Level 1, their power was much lower than usual. Tomorrow was currently fully outfitted as a Level 1 city, so it had no use for them. But for a Level 1 city that had just started out, they could still be quite an upgrade. Aside from these Level 1 items, the Production Workshop still held a number of regular items. Goblin Uniforms, Goblin Combat Rations, Goblin Daggers...... "Might as well take them. Consider it a collection."Li Ye thought. After returning to the deck of Tomorrow, he opened the System Panel. At this moment, the fifth piece of Epic Intelligence had refreshed, while the sixth was still cooling down. 【Strongholds/Fortresses/Outposts: 352 (Currently Destroyed: 314)】 【Ships/Vehicles/Helicopters: 541 (Currently Destroyed: 492)】 【Level 1 Fortresses: 7 (Currently Destroyed: 6)】 【Number of Level 1 Mobile Cities: 19 (Currently Destroyed: 17)】 【Number of Level 2 Mobile Cities: 1 (Currently Destroyed: 1)】 【BOSS: General Gokov (Deceased), King Jerome (Deceased), Captain Randirus (Deceased), Air Marshal Gagalu (Deceased)】 【Total Count: 1,023,531 (Currently Deceased: 832,190)】 Li Ye’s mouth twitched involuntarily. The strength of this monstrous civilization was even more outrageous than he had imagined! 7 Level 1 Fortresses, 19 Level 1 Cities, 4 BOSS-level monsters, and even one Level 2 City! What surprised him even more was that the Goblin Civilization had already suffered heavy losses. He immediately sensed something was wrong. With this level of casualties, the human factions had probably already broken into the Goblin Kingdom. After all, the human factions included the Olympus Alliance, the Silence (and possibly the other two Level 2 Mobile Cities as well), plus countless Level 1 Mobile Cities. Once they launched a full assault, it would be overwhelming. He then ordered Tomorrow to move forward at full speed. Sure enough, a few hours later, he spotted the giant island. At this moment, the island was covered in smoke and rubble; wreckage and ruins were everywhere—it was clearly the aftermath of a battle. Using his binoculars, Li Ye saw the ruins of a Level 2 Goblin City. This city gleamed with golden light—most likely the vehicle of the Goblin King. He couldn’t help but shake his head in regret. He hadn’t expected to miss out on that City Crystal. "Speaking of which, whoever had the strength to claim that crystal, it should be the Olympus Alliance or a Level 2 City, right?"he thought. As a Level 2 monster city, the Goblin City’s Production Workshop should also have held a series of Level 2 projects. With a trial mindset, Li Ye piloted the Goblin Helicopter to its deck, carrying with him a heart full of expectation toward the Production Workshop. However, upon arriving at the Production Workshop and verifying with the Lord’s Wristband, he discovered that the place was squeaky clean—there wasn’t a single project left. "Not even one thing left!"he sighed. ...... The next day at noon, Li Ye stared at the newly refreshed second piece of Epic Intelligence, momentarily stunned. 【6. With the fall of the Goblin Civilization, the Goblin Prince has fled aboard a speedboat carrying the King’s Scepter and his trusted aides. Human forces are now in hot pursuit, trying to intercept him.】 【Below is a map of his escape route, along with the paths of the human Mobile Cities chasing him.】 【Click to view. (Intelligence Value: Epic)】 After opening the route map, Li Ye’s expression changed. The Goblins’ speedboat was located 35 kilometers directly ahead of Tomorrow, currently the closest to it. Behind it, there were densely packed over a hundred light dots. Bounty Hunters, Fleets, Mobile Cities...... Among them, there were two particularly large light dots. "Could those two be Level 2 Mobile Cities?"he murmured. After thinking for a moment, he immediately decided to take a risk. "Tang Fang, move forward at full speed!" As he gave the order, his heart pounded uncontrollably. What a twist of fate—just when he thought he had missed the City Crystal, it reappeared in such a way! This was undoubtedly a very risky move and might bring trouble upon them. But for the chance to promote Tomorrow to Level 2, he had to gamble! Soon, Tomorrow spotted the Goblins’ speedboat and swiftly wiped out the Goblin Prince and his kin. When Tomorrow’s crane hoisted the Goblin speedboat onto the deck, a rumbling suddenly came from the distance. Li Ye turned his head and saw multiple figures appearing in the distance. It was a convoy of Mobile Cities. After counting them carefully, Li Ye’s face changed. The number was seven. It was the Predatory Cities Alliance – Olympus. Just as Tomorrow had claimed victory, this Predatory Cities Alliance had arrived right behind. There was not even a moment to retreat! Had it been only scattered human factions, even two or three Mobile Cities, Tomorrow could have handled it calmly and even retreated safely. But fate had played a cruel trick—it was the most troublesome Predatory Cities Alliance that came. This situation was far worse than he had imagined. Upon recognizing the Mobile Cities they had previously battled, the Predatory Cities emitted a series of sirens and immediately accelerated forward. Seeing this, everyone’s spirits instantly sank to rock bottom. "Oh my god......"Ning Wen couldn’t help but mutter. Seven Predatory Cities! Although Tomorrow was currently exceptionally powerful, it was far from being able to withstand an entire Predatory Cities Alliance. The only reason they had previously defeated the Tarot Alliance was because they had the support of the Vanguard Alliance, and the leading Vanguard was remarkably strong. Now, Tomorrow had no allies at all. Everyone’s faces gradually turned pale. This time, it truly seemed to be a doomed situation. Meanwhile, the few companions he had dispatched were swiftly searching the speedboat. They quickly discovered a delicate box, and upon opening it, the King’s Scepter lay neatly inside. And that long-desired City Crystal was right at the tip of the scepter. During the process, someone also rummaged through the Goblins’ corpses, acquiring a few Crystal Coins and pieces of fabric. The Goblin Prince had dropped a Level 1 Furniture Blueprint. One companion carefully removed the City Crystal and handed it to Li Ye. The City Crystal was prismatic in shape, with irregular patterns on its surface and a star-shaped light core suspended inside. When Li Ye gently tapped it, it shimmered with a cerulean glow. Looking at the City Crystal before him, then at the approaching Predatory Cities, Li Ye’s eyes were calm as he gave a slight nod. In the wasteland, survival was always a game of licking blood from the blade. After countless brutal battles, he had long understood this truth. "Since we’re snatching from the tiger’s mouth, we must be ready to battle the tiger......." He said in a deep voice, then suddenly waved his hand. "All hands on Tomorrow, prepare for battle!"
