Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

"What if we can't hold out, and all 500 of us are killed? What if you get hurt? In short, this won't do..."

Zhuoma wanted to argue, but seeing Lin Feng's look, she swallowed her words.

"What should we do? Are we just going to run away like this? There's still at least half of the black iron ore left in this mine. It would be such a waste to just give up like this."

Everyone was uncertain and started discussing it.

Chen Min sat quietly until she saw everyone arguing about whether to leave or stay, and then she spoke up.

"Why not let the Japanese strategists go first?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at her.

"Since none of us are confident, let's send the Japanese first to test their firepower."

"If the enemy has trump cards, such as missiles, heavy weapons, or advanced awakened beings, I think we can force them out even if 3 Devourers attack together. We won't care if they die; it will also help to wear down those restless Japanese. All we need to do is send a level 6 Gold-Eating Ant General, along with tens of thousands of Gold-Eating Ants, to supervise the battle from behind."

"If we can handle their firepower, then we'll swarm them and eliminate them completely. If we can't, we'll retreat immediately and avoid a direct confrontation."

The meeting room was silent for two seconds, then everyone nodded in unison.

"This method will work!"

"Yes, let the Japanese go first to test the waters!"

"Anyway, keeping those demon tamers around is a potential threat, so we might as well take this opportunity to eliminate a batch of them."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it this way. There's no time to lose. Let's start taking action immediately. If we can't win, we'll run away right away."

Wang Lie stood up and said, "It's not safe to just send the Gold-Eating Ants to supervise the battle. I'll take the patrol team with me to keep an eye on those Japanese and prevent them from deserting in the face of battle."

Lin Feng chuckled: "They can't escape! They have no choice but to obey orders."

Everyone was stunned, wondering why Lin Feng said that. These days, those Japanese were restless even when digging pits, constantly stirring up trouble and launching counterattacks. Dong Yu had made an example of them several times, but they were still restless.

Lin Feng reached out and grasped, and a soul banner appeared.

"I refined the Soul Banner and studied it. All those Ghost Masters who were parasitized by the strange creatures had their souls locked by the Soul Banner. As long as I had a thought, their souls would be pulled back into the Soul Banner, and they couldn't escape."

Lin Feng's tone carried a hint of emotion: "I have to say, Kato does have some brains. These past few days, while I was studying the Soul Banner, I discovered that it's easy to suppress the supernatural by storing it in the Soul Banner, but extremely difficult to control. Moreover, these supernatural beings are quite peculiar, completely chaotic. They can neither be used as vengeful spirits to create ghost soldiers nor as materials to feed them. They are like fragments of wronged souls combined with various powers, making them difficult even for the Soul Banner to utilize."

"But Kato took a different approach. After suppressing the supernatural, he parasitized the bodies of the Japanese. Eventually, the supernatural would merge with their souls to form a special kind of vengeful spirit. This kind of vengeful spirit absorbs the life force and soul of the person. After the body dies, the vengeful spirit will retain a part of its consciousness and can continue to parasitize the next host to become stronger. Most importantly, the vengeful spirit in their bodies is absolutely controlled by the Soul Banner."

Lin Feng glanced at everyone and said with some pride, "So, if we can't find out their trump card this time, there are still more than 9 Japanese in the city. We can just create another wave of Ghost Masters. As long as we have the Soul Banner, we can keep our cannon fodder coming in. If level 3 or 4 isn't enough, we'll go for level 5."

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, and Guo Yi exclaimed, "Good heavens, it truly lives up to its reputation as a rare artifact; it is indeed ridiculously powerful."

Wang Lie slapped his thigh: "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly send people up! The little bit of minerals the Japanese dig up is nothing compared to the value of a mobile city."

Lin Feng stood up: "Alright, let's not delay. Wang Lie, if you want to go, take the patrol team and follow the Gold-Eating Ants to supervise the battle from behind. Don't rush too far ahead, don't get yourself killed. Let the Japanese Imperial Guards charge ahead, it doesn't matter if they die or not."

Wang Lie grinned: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. If I can't beat them, can't I outrun them? My lightning ability is known for its speed."

After the meeting, the entire Xuanfeng City sprang into action, with everyone packing their belongings and transferring them onto the Xuan Turtle's back, preparing for their evacuation.

Lin Feng waved the Soul Banner, and the 3 Ghost Masters in the mine stopped what they were doing, lined up and walked out of the mine to the center of the valley.

"What?! Why is this weird thing inside me out of control? What is it trying to do...?"

The Japanese were terrified. They felt the strange force controlling their bodies, and their faces showed panic. When they arrived in the center of the valley, they saw tens of thousands of gold-devouring ants staring at them menacingly.

"Shut up! No noise allowed. If you make another sound, you'll be killed on the spot."

Lin Feng stood before the large group of Japanese soldiers and said, "I'm giving you a chance to live. Go to the battlefield, destroy the invading mobile city, and you'll have a chance to survive."

Several Level 4 Ghost Masters, who seemed to know what a mobile city was, shouted, "Sir, is it Amelie's mobile city? We can't possibly win if we don't go. According to the Blue Star Convention, you must treat prisoners of war well; you can't send us to our deaths in vain..."

Lin Feng slammed the Soul Banner into the ground, and the men immediately began to scream in agony. The strange energy within their bodies surged violently, and bizarre limbs pierced through their flesh. The strange energy within them devoured their souls and weakened their power in the blink of an eye. The men wailed as they were absorbed into the Soul Banner.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was so frightened that they took two steps back. The terrifying scene really startled them. When they were taken into the Soul Banner, the screams were clearly those of the level 4 Ghost Masters.

"Whoever refuses, I will grant their wish now and collect their souls into it for eternal torment."

The Japanese sorcerers below were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

"We're willing to go! We're willing to serve the adults!"

"My lord, we Japanese are born warriors; we'd rather die on the battlefield..."

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, let's go!"

Wang Lie sat on the back of the level 6 ant general, and the patrol members also took their weapons, climbed onto the backs of the level 5 gold-devouring ants, and drove the ghost master out of the valley.

"Haha, Captain, these ants are much better than the car."

"Yes, riding this ant is not only stable, but also fast. Captain, how about we talk to the city lord when we get back and ask him to sell us one as a mount?"

After everyone discovered the benefits of the gold-eating ants, they all made suggestions to Wang Lie.

"Okay, go back and talk to Lin Feng to see if we can get a batch to use as mounts. But these things are definitely not cheap, so you'll have to work hard to save up some Ghost Crystals."

Upon hearing this, his teammates next to him immediately beamed with joy.

"Don't worry, Captain, I'm already a Level 4 professional, and I've collected quite a few Ghost Crystals!"

The person next to him joked, "Your little bit of monster crystals, let alone whether you can afford to buy them, I doubt you can even afford to keep them. I heard that the gold-eating ants can eat several kilograms of black iron ore a day. You'll have to work as their laborer later."

"I'd be happy to ride that thing out. It's not only impressive, but also safe...tsk tsk."
