The outer defense line was instantly breached by the gold-devouring ants like a tidal wave. One after another, the Japanese devils were overturned to the ground, and before they could even get up, they were covered by the ant swarm.

Even though those monsters lack reason, it doesn't mean they aren't afraid. Faced with this offensive, the monster master, seeing that things were not going well, took the lead in running away, while driving away the other low-level Japanese monsters that had completely lost their minds to resist.

"Baka! Block them! All of you, attack!"

Zhuoma led the knights directly into the fleeing Japanese monsters from the right. The knights formed a horizontal line, their warhorses moving in unison. Their spears pierced the bodies of the Japanese monsters, stringing them together. A burst of red light emanated from the spears, and the Japanese monsters were blasted into pieces, then completely crushed by the hooves of the horses behind them.

Xia Du's tamed beasts also began to flank from the left. The Japanese monsters that had just fled to this side crashed directly into a formation of dozens of level 5 unicorn rock lizards that were eyeing them covetously, and were surrounded and attacked by thousands of mutated beasts.

They completely cut off the escape route of the Japanese invaders. The Japanese invaders had nowhere to go, and the battle lasted only 20 minutes. There were no survivors in the entire stronghold, and all the Japanese invaders were wiped out.

Overturned vehicles were everywhere, and broken corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Xia Du searched for a long time, then cursed, "Damn it, these Japanese strongholds are always like this. We take them down and there's nothing left, not even a single ghost crystal or any supplies..."

"Let's go, next one!"

Xia Du climbed back onto the rock lizard's head and continued leading the way.

These worthless things and ruins were not disliked by Lin Feng's Gold-Eating Ants. The corpses were thrown into the altar to become nutrients, the abandoned vehicles were moved up and dismantled for parts, and the unusable parts could be used as food for Xiao Xuan and the Gold-Eating Ants.

The convoy continued forward, the Gold-Eating Ants having thoroughly searched the entire stronghold, leaving only traces of the battle on the ground.

The second stronghold was larger than the first, with nearly 3000 Japanese devils. The defenses were much stronger, with the outer perimeter made of welded steel plates and iron frames filled with stones and sand. However, under the attack of the ant swarm, it was no different from before. The steel plates were easily torn apart, and the ant swarm overturned the fortifications and stormed into the stronghold.

During their journey, they also encountered some Japanese monsters who possessed mental attack abilities. These monsters, which parasitized the bodies of the Japanese, were bizarre and extremely twisted in appearance. They could target the mind, and many of the knights fell victim to them and fell off their horses. Fortunately, they were wearing Xuan Tie armor, so they were not injured.

Zhuoma immediately ordered a retreat, allowing the Gold-Eating Ants, which were immune to mental attacks, to take over and resolve the last resistance at the stronghold.

After seeing this from the city wall on Xiao Xuan's back, Lin Feng sighed and said, "This armor has good defensive capabilities. It was surrounded by so many Japanese devils and was not injured. It should be widely promoted, and it would be best if the entire guard team were equipped with it."

Michelle rolled her eyes: "Do you think the Xuan Tie armor used by knights is as cheap as cabbage? We've been working overtime for so many of us, almost to the point of exhaustion, and haven't had a good night's sleep in ages. If you want it, give it to someone else. Without Black Iron-level blacksmiths and craftswomen, how can we make it?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment: "It's not impossible. I still have 50 appointment slots. Here, take them. Go pick people. The Altar of Life has just grown a bit. It can advance 50 people to Black Iron level at once. After taking down a few more strongholds, the Blood of Myriad Spirits should be full..."

Michelle looked at him: "You really gave it to me? That's so generous..."

"Do you want it or not? If not, I'll give the spot to Zhao Gao. I've heard from Old Zhao these past few days that quite a few people want to join the Evil Suppression Division..."

"Yes! Of course I want one, I'll go pick one right now..." With that, Michelle ran off.

Chen Min, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "What, you finally understand the benefits of a logistics job..."

Lin Feng chuckled: "Isn't this a quick way to make money? Zhao Gao manages and sells ordinary food, and Xiao Li cultivates and sells spiritual plants that can boost attributes, but it's still not as effective as weapons. To really profit, you have to target combat classes and those awakened individuals..."

"You understand, that's enough..."

Soon, the third, the fourth... were all flattened in turn. Most of the Japanese devils were wiped out within tens of minutes after the swarm rushed in. The few who managed to escape were caught up by Xia Du and his army of Gale Wolves.

As they drew closer, the surrounding environment began to change, seemingly transitioning from a barren wasteland into another area, with more vegetation and trees appearing.

Xia Du pointed ahead and said, "Lin Feng, next, and last stronghold, then we'll be on the outer perimeter of the Kyushu caravan's main force."

Inside the Kyushu caravan, in the palace, a middle-aged man dressed as a samurai knelt on the ground, his head slightly bowed.

"Your Majesty, we have gathered 30 warriors and deployed them in the jungles and passes surrounding the valley. We are confident that any invading enemy will not return alive."

The Emperor glanced at him, his fat face relaxing slightly: "Yosh, Miyamoto-kun, well done. Go and set up defenses."

Koichi Miyamoto responded softly, "Yes!"

He stood up, took a few steps back, turned and left, his footsteps gradually fading into the distance.

The palace fell silent again. The Emperor picked up the ancient scroll, and with a flick of his wrist, it transformed into a black banner. Looking at the banner in his hand, he noticed that the golden spots on its surface had significantly diminished.

During that period, I used it to create a one-time sealing scroll to imprint its power, which resulted in the loss of too many soul reserves. As more and more Japanese gathered, everything was fine at first, but then the intensity of the battles increased, and the souls I had painstakingly collected were not enough to replenish them.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

"Sigh, things are getting out of control. I'm really stuck in a bind, like I've shot myself in the foot. Maybe I should find a chance to sneak away. Sigh, what should I do with these palace treasures? It's such a waste to lose them, but if I take them, it'll cause too much of a commotion, and I definitely won't be able to escape. If I just leave without the palace's protection, what if I get caught? I can't beat that old codger Muto..."

"Where on earth did this Level 6 Ghost Warrior come from...?"

Just as the short, fat man was pondering a solution, Lin Feng's convoy had already cleared the last stronghold and was preparing to enter the jungle.

Xia Du rode the unicorn rock lizard, holding a snow-white mouse in his hands. The little creature had big, round ears and a golden hair at the tip of its tail, making it extremely cute. It squeaked incessantly in his hands. As soon as Xia Du put the little creature down, it vanished in a flash.

Lin Feng looked at the little thing, his eyes flashing with golden light, utterly astonished.

"Holy crap, this little thing is actually a level 6 Rat King, and its ability is detection-type. Could Xia Du be a liar as well?"

Xia Du came to the side of the Xuan Turtle and called out upwards.

"Lin Feng, the last stronghold has been cleared. The main body of the Kyushu caravan is camped in this jungle, in a valley. There are at least 30 Japanese, not only that, but also a large number of enslaved people. The exact situation cannot be fully confirmed, but the location is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has only one exit, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, several large caravans are approaching from different directions. We need to speed up."
