It wasn't because these vehicles posed a significant threat—in fact, their accuracy was ridiculously poor, with most of their shells hitting their own men.

Rather, it's because these goblins driving the vehicles are the true command core of the goblin army. Eliminating them would cause the goblin morale to collapse, at which point they would retreat without a fight and scatter.

"Those who block my way shall die!"

Liu Nian roared, his figure leaving a trail of afterimages on the battlefield. Wherever he passed, goblins fell like harvested wheat. Ordinary goblins couldn't even see his movements; they only felt a gust of wind pass by, followed by excruciating pain and darkness.

The system is prompting a rapid refresh:

[Defeat goblin brutes and gain 12400 experience points]

[Defeat the Goblin Musketeer and gain 9800 experience points]

[Slay the Goblin Berserker and gain 15600 experience points]

[Defeat the Engineer, gain 21000 experience points]...

The experience bar was rising at a visible rate. Liu Nian was originally level 32, but during this massacre, his level skyrocketed.

Level 33!

Level 34!

Level 35!

In less than twenty minutes, he had been promoted three ranks.

But that's not the most outrageous thing.

Even more terrifying is the effect of the "Hellish Curse" talent. For every goblin killed, 3 souls will drop...

Liu Nian has killed over a hundred goblins along his way. That means his armor, magic resistance, and spell power have increased by more than 300 in ten minutes.

And this number is still rising.

When the goblin formation was completely torn apart, Liu Nian finally rushed to the vehicles. In front of him were seven goblin vehicles and their drivers, whose levels were generally above 50.

"You black-haired shrimp! How dare you..." A tank's turret turned towards Liu Nian, and the cannon began to charge.

Liu Nian didn't give the other party a chance to finish speaking. His battle intent bar was already full, and he had been waiting for this moment!

Without any hesitation, he unleashed a full-power [Deliberate Blast Punch]!

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

Then the fist exploded, bursting forward with a thunderous roar!

boom--!!!

A fan-shaped torrent of destruction swept forward, turning everything in its path to dust.

First, there are the goblin vehicles. Those tanks, armored vehicles, and mechs cobbled together from scrap metal are like paper in the face of true damage. They don't have the concept of "health points," but they do have "durability." And "Deliberate Punch" deals ten times the damage of normal damage to non-living units.

160 million+ real damage!

Five of the seven vehicles were instantly vaporized, leaving no wreckage whatsoever. The remaining two, which were further away, were also overturned by the shockwave, their parts scattered all over the ground.

Then there are the goblins in the vehicles. They don't get the tenfold damage bonus, but 16+ true damage is still absolutely fatal to a level 50 goblin.

Two damage numbers bounced up on the scene:

One piece is white: "-162847"

One piece is golden: "-1628470"

Quiet.

A brief silence fell over the battlefield.

The surrounding goblins were stunned by this devastating attack.

Then, the system notification arrived late:

[Level reached 36]

[Ding~ One silver skill stone has been dropped.]

Liu Nian reacted quickly, putting the skill stone into his backpack before it landed.

You can do without other things, but you still need to pick up this.

He looked around.

After the vehicle group was destroyed, the real "big shot" behind it was revealed—a level 55 goblin overlord and seven surviving guards.

These guys are stronger and better equipped than the previous elites; they are the true command of the goblin army.

On the human players' side, the scales of victory are tipping.

Having lost a large number of commanders and heavy vehicle support, the ordinary goblins began to collapse, and victory was only a matter of time.

As long as this final command level is dealt with...

Liu Nian's eyes sharpened.

He locked onto five of the highest-ranking and most threatening targets and then activated his abilities.

"The Avici Hell—Open!"

hum! ! !

A dark purple light instantly spread out from Liu Nian's center, forming a strange force field with a diameter of ten meters. The space within the force field began to distort and fold, light was swallowed up, and sound was blocked.

The next moment, the five goblins, along with Liu Nian, suddenly vanished from their spot.

The remaining two guards were stunned.

"Where is the leader?"

"That black-haired shrimp has also disappeared!"

"What's going on? Did we teleport?"

"...It's some kind of spatial magic..."

In the instant they were both stunned, the human spells descended once more.

Without their leader's command, the remaining goblins were completely at a loss. Fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, arrows... all sorts of attacks rained down, and the two guards were overwhelmed by the sea of ​​spells before they could even organize an effective defense.

Screams, explosions, the sound of metal tearing apart...

When the aftershocks of the spell dissipated, only charred corpses and molten metal remained in the area.

Liu Nian took the entire goblin command with him, and the goblins' morale finally collapsed, causing them to scatter and flee.

"We won! We won!"

The human players erupted in thunderous cheers.

Liu Nian's actions significantly reduced the losses for the human players. Without their leader to hold them back, the remaining ordinary goblins either scattered and fled or gave up resistance. The few who stubbornly resisted were quickly wiped out.

"Clean up the battlefield! Watch out for finishing blows!"

"Treat the seriously wounded!"

"Collect the spoils, tally the casualties!"

The captains began issuing orders. Although the battle was won, there was still much work to be done.

But some people noticed something was amiss.

"Where's Liu Nian?" Yun Xiangrong jumped off the mine cart, anxiously searching for that familiar figure. "Has anyone seen Liu Nian?"

"They were just over there..." a player pointed in the direction of the vehicle wreckage, "and then suddenly they disappeared, along with a few goblin leaders."

"Spatial magic?" Yun Xiangrong frowned. She could sense strong spatial fluctuations lingering there. "But he's a warrior, he wouldn't know spatial magic..."

"Don't worry," Wu Zhan's voice came through the command channel. "I just received a message from him. He said he's 'farming some stuff,' he's safe. Let's escort the convoy to the Anvil Base first."

"Grinding for loot?" Wang Mu joined the conversation. "Where do we grind? The battlefield's all cleared out."

"I don't know, but there must be a reason he said that." Wu Zhan now unconditionally trusted Liu Nian. He said, "Let's proceed according to plan. Although the main force of the goblins has been defeated, there's no guarantee that reinforcements won't arrive. The sooner we enter the Anvil Base, the safer we'll be."

"clear."

The players began to assemble, with some leaving the battlefield to clean up while the main force escorted the most important mission objective—the ore convoy—onto its final journey.
