Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

The journey took about half an hour. During this time, Liu Nian communicated with Wu Zhan and learned that the three chaotic races still hadn't made any moves.

Although he also felt strange, he couldn't care less about that at the moment. After hanging up, Liu Nian contacted Miya'er and told her about his idea of ​​evolving the self-destruct skill for each bee-man.

Miya didn't object. This is a game; you can revive after dying. It's not like the tribesmen are just used as suicide bombers. This skill is for taking down the enemy at the last moment, so it's actually a trump card.

Mia responded that most bee people can actually evolve this skill, but its power is only so-so.

If she wants to enhance the power of her self-destruction, she will need to invest resources in research.

Now that Mia has become the queen bee, she can naturally decide the evolutionary path for the entire race, create new professions and corresponding skill trees, and even enhance a particular skill.

"It should take about a day," Mia replied.

"Okay!" Liu Nian said, "Now help me organize 500 Bee-man auxiliary soldiers, prioritizing those with self-destruct skills. I want to take them into battle. Also, prepare some powerful siege weapons. I'll be back in about half an hour."

"OK."

Ten minutes after Liu Nian hung up the communication, Vayne, who was monitoring the western city, reported: "Lord Liu Nian, a powerful bomb was planted beneath the western city. It just exploded, and the entire city has been razed to the ground... no, a huge crater has appeared!"

Liu Nian was genuinely startled. Good heavens, luckily he hadn't been fixated on occupying the West City, otherwise he probably would have been blown away too!

This also reflects the cruelty and ruthlessness of the race's struggle for survival in the face of a war for advancement.

But looking at the time... the explosion happened just a few seconds after Zul'jin resurrected... tsk tsk, this Manko is quite something.

Ten minutes later, the outline of South Zurshlag appeared on the horizon.

However, unlike the heavily guarded West City we just saw, the South City looked very abnormal.

There are a lot of trolls and NPCs on the city walls. These guys are actually installing city defense weapons. Many of the cannons are empty!

Liu Nian frowned.

Did the South City not have heavy defensive weapons before?

How is that possible!

So… Liu Nian narrowed his eyes: These city defense weapons were probably dismantled by them, and now that they know they are going to attack, they are hurriedly reassembling them!

So... why did they dismantle the city's defensive weapons?

The answer is obvious: they want to abandon the city!

Because they knew they couldn't hold on!

"What a wonderful Manco!" Liu Nian exclaimed.

He could easily figure it out: Manco, like Wu Zhan, had probably discovered a new, more suitable place to build the main city!

That's why he wanted to move all the valuable things in the entire city!

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and wasn't held back in the West City by him...

Even Mosh noticed something was wrong.

"They seem to be evacuating...and it's very hastily."

"Trying to pull a fast one on me?" Liu Nian sneered. "Found a new place, so you want to blow up the old one to prevent others from taking it over? Dream on!"

"Sir, what should we do?" Mosh asked.

Liu Nian shoved a goblin coordinate device into Mosh's hand: "Take this, you stay here and find a place to hide!" He then grabbed Mosh's belt.

Upon hearing these familiar lines, Mosh's expression changed drastically: "Wait, sir, I can do it myself... Ah—!" Mosh's screams faded into the distance once more.

Liu Nian put away the behemoth and returned to the floating city.

He was going to bring along the bee-man auxiliary soldiers that he had previously asked Miya to prepare.

The giant BBQ can hold a person very quickly; it can basically swallow a person whole with just one big gulp.

Liu Nian teleported to the Rusty Dynasty again, this time bringing Arachne along, as well as some spider-elf guards who accompanied Arachne.

Manco's fingers gripped the cold stone edge of the watchtower tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He saw it.

In the distance, the giant beast is approaching.

His prediction was correct; the human named Liu Nian did indeed arrive!

Moreover, it came too quickly.

"Damn it..." Manco's voice trembled slightly, without him even realizing it.

He had no choice. Most of the city's defenses had been dismantled, and if he reinstalled them now, the enemy would surely guess his intentions. But if he didn't reinstall them, they could simply storm in! Between two evils, he had to choose the lesser and bite the bullet to reinstall them!

His adjutant looked grim: "Your Majesty, of the city defense weapons we dismantled... we've only managed to reassemble less than 30%..."

"Thirty percent should be enough, is the great formation repaired?"

"Starting up is fine, but the intensity is definitely weakened."

Manco took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, and turned to ask sharply, "How long until the portal to the Abyss opens?!"

The shaman in charge of the teleportation array didn't even look up, his forehead covered in cold sweat: "At least... ten minutes! The spatial coordinates are fluctuating violently, and the anchor point on the Demon Abyss side is very unstable. Forcing a teleportation might send us to an unknown space!"

"Ten minutes..." Manco murmured, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Then hold out for ten minutes!"

He whirled around and roared at all the trolls on the city wall, "Listen! The portal will open in ten minutes! If we can hold out for those ten minutes, we can escape to a safe new home! The Abyss has countless resources and land, a million times better than this wretched place!"

The trolls on the city wall looked at each other, their fear still lingering, but a hint of desperate survival had also appeared in their eyes.

Yes, it only takes ten minutes.

In ten minutes, you will be able to escape this monster and reach a new world beneath the deep sea.

"For the new home!!" someone shouted first.

"For the new home!!"

"Hold on for ten minutes!!"

The roars gradually merged into one.

Manco felt somewhat relieved as he looked at the soldiers whose fighting spirit had been rekindled.

Ten minutes...

Although the protective array's energy was unstable due to the removal of some components, it still retained a shield value of 30 billion. Add to that the temporarily reinstalled city defense weapons, and the NPCs and elite troll warriors remaining within the city…

If we hold out for ten minutes, maybe... perhaps... maybe... there's a chance?

He subconsciously looked at Lothar beside him.

This defeated general from the west city stood expressionless, his lips moving as if he were calculating something.

"What are you calculating?" Manco frowned.

Lothar turned his head, his eyes dark: "I'm calculating how long it took him to break through the 50 billion shield array of West City."

"how long?"

"From the first breath that hit the shield to the shield shattering completely..." Lothar's voice was dry, like sandpaper scraping, "less than three minutes."

The color drained from Manco's face instantly.

three minutes.

Break through the 50 billion shield.

The 30 billion shield in the southern city also has a large array with weak defenses in some areas due to unstable energy...

How long can it last?

One minute? Or two minutes?

Manco dared not even think about it.

He could only stare intently at the figure standing atop the giant beast, praying frantically in his heart:

"Slow down...slow down...at least...give us ten minutes..."
