Chapter 541: The Harvest

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A flash of light shone across the world!

Surprisingly, it was extremely silent, as if a cruel giant monster was devouring everything in silence.

It was an extremely contradictory feeling. A violent but quiet explosion. Wherever the light passed, everything turned into dust.

Everyone was shocked. Before they could even respond to this situation, a powerful force started pushing towards them, causing them to no longer be able to stand still, just like falling leaves pushed a distance of over ten meters away by strong waves.

The flash of light had gradually disappeared. The moment they opened their eyes and looked clearly at the site of explosion, they gasped at the same time, causing the temperature of the surroundings to drop a few degrees.

There was nothing at the center of the explosion. There was not even a single piece of debris left.

Every single thing within 150 meters from the center of explosion had disappeared! Almost half of the card artisans, who were standing over there, had disappeared along with the explosion. The rest of them were blown away. It was unknown if they were alive or dead.

Such a violent explosion!

This power would be comparable with that of war card.

A transparent spherical region with a diameter of about 50 meters appeared in the area near the explosion site. The transparent spherical region formed right after the explosion was weird. It was like bubbles in the water. None of them had ever seen such scenery before, and some of them showed a confused look. However, there were card artisans all over the place. Apart from observing with their eyes, they also used their perception!

Countless threads of perceptions crisscrossed with each other while scanning the entire space. Though there was nothing in this space. All of their faces went pale…

“Watch out!” Almost all the card artisans, who were near the transparent sphere, turned away and ran desperately after they heard the warning from someone!

Ping! It sounded like glass cracking. Followed by this ring, there was a sound like the triggering of a signal, indicating something dangerous was about to come. The transparent sphere blew up all of a sudden, causing the surrounding air to press wildly towards this region! A jet stream vortex, which could be seen by the naked eye, appeared right in front of them.

Bang! A card artisan from Bomen city had failed to escape from the vortex and eventually got pulled into the spherical air space!

Bang! The air pressure was strong enough to tear his energy shield up in just a second. The next second, his body was turned into blood and minced flesh!

The jet stream vortex went on for a short while; however, it was still enough to shock everyone there!

The card artisans, who had managed to escape from the air vortex, were looking at the minced flesh around them in terror, their faces pale. The card artisans from Bomen city and even the card artisans from Wooden Word Camp were stunned. No one could ever expect that two of them would be able to generate such terrifying power by working together!

The transparent spherical region, which looked like an air bubble, was actually a vacuum ball created by the explosion. The vacuum ball was extremely unstable and upon blowing up, it would trigger the surrounding air to suck in wildly, creating an effect akin to a grinder, causing another wave of damage.

The big battlefield was silent. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. The noises were swept away by a single blow released from the joint forces of both Sang Hanshui and Xiaobo. Though both of them were not tall, they had suddenly become towering figures with a ferocious look in front of the crowd, showing fierce and deadly looks!

The card artisans of Bomen city had collapsed. The last hope of those who managed to escape from the vortex just now was crushed by this terrifying hit. They did not have much battle experience, and in addition to their long-term stationing at a fixed location, they had become lazy and eventually lost their battle spirit. They had nothing left but only a mighty look. In their daily routines, they only had to shout and fake their posture to avoid from being attacked by others. However, when they met with the Wooden Word Camp, led by the dauntless Cang Lan, their “Strong Masks” were crushed into dust immediately.

Surprisingly, the actions of all these card artisans from Bomen city were the same. Each and everyone of them landed on the ground slowly and steadily while removing the meters on their hands. Eventually, all of them held their hands high over their heads.

They had decided to surrender themselves to the Wooden Word Camp.

“Ugh, seems like we have lost the chance to showcase our skills,” muttered the card artisan, who was standing beside Rafael while staring at the card artisans at the surroundings. He was hoping that someone would step out at this moment so that their troops could at least initiate the fight. However, any card artisans who were in his sight were trembling. They landed on the ground as fast as they could while removing the meters on their hands to show that they were not against him.

He could only take back his sight.

Rafael did not say anything. She looked at Sang Hanshui and Xiaobo, who were floating in mid-air. Under her terrified eyes, it reflected her adoration and admiration towards the two of them.

Chen Mu was quite shocked to see this situation. A thought came into his mind while he was looking at the surrendering enemies. It was an undeniable fact that the normal card artisans would definitely be terrified by those with more strength and power. In early stage of battle, they thought they had acquired the absolute advantage, but they did not know the enemies were scattered. Soon, when Sang Hanshui and Xiaobo had decided to work together to release a dreadful strike, the card artisans would have nothing else to do but to give up the fight.

The card artisans who got their meters confiscated looked disappointed and seemed to have lost their mind. However, they had shown a good demonstration to other card artisans, as all the other card artisans who were stationed along the way had decided to surrender.

Happiness and excitement was shown on each and every Wooden Word Camp’s card artisans. They could finally put an end to their tough days. They raised their heads up high while feeling proud of themselves. They deserved the pride as they were able to perform well. Although the Wooden Word Camp was built not long ago, their performance was outstanding, and it could be considered a miracle!

Upon stepping into this city, Chen Mu gave a regretful sigh. It was such a bustling city and it would be perfect if he could turn it into his base. However, he knew that this was an unrealistic thought. The geographical environment of Bomen city was very important to Cang Lan. The reason why they could take over this city easily was simply due to the sudden attack on the unprepared garrisons and poor defense system in the city.

There was still a long way to go if they were to conquer the city. There were still a lot of card artisans in the card artisan base behind those closed gates. The amount of card artisans inside the base would be enough to take over the Wooden Word Camp. They were only sitting at the sidelines while observing the situation for now. However, if they felt threatened, the real battle would be initiated.

However, Chen Mu was not interested in conquering this city.

But he would definitely grab anything that was at his fingertips.

The warehouse of stationed base, the financial treasury of Bomen city, and all the government institutions, were plundered by Wooden Word Camp. The card artisan group leaders of Bomen city were shocked to realize that this unknown card artisans group was like locusts, wiping out anything and everything that was in their sight. However, they did not take anything from the citizens and various organizations.

All the shuttles in all of Bomen city were gathered up to used as transportation for the great number of resources, which could be piled up like a mountain.

Every card artisan in Wooden Word Camp was extremely excited. There was nothing that could be more exciting than plundering. The scale and economic prosperity of Bomen city were better than in other cities. In addition to this, it was the border fortress which was rich in materials and resources. This would be more than enough to make Chen Mu, who was less exposed to the outside world, to be amazed.

As for the power cards there, Chen Mu had arranged over ten shuttles to carry all of them with him!

“A horse will never become stronger without eating grass at night!” Chen Mu became rich overnight. However, he was too exhausted. He could no longer feel any excitement about his wealth. When he had the situation under control, the first thing he did was get a nice sleep because he was too tired.

He slept for 12 hours. When he finally woke up, the plundering had already started.

After waking up from a good sleep, he felt energetic and relaxed. Now that they had taken the absolute advantage and they were at the border of Northern Facing District, they could leave anytime. Cang Lan had most probably received the news, but it would require some time for them to send their team here.

Chen Mu was taking a walk at the street, however, the street was extremely quiet. It was as if he was in the street of Eastern Shang-Wei City. Little Bu Mo was obviously curious of everything there. He kept on looking around. Wei-ah, however, was still the same, while Qiu Shanyu was still being cautious of their surroundings. In addition to Fu Dong and several level seven card artisans as bodyguards, no one would dare take advantage of them with such great protective force.

The card artisan of Wooden Word Camp would immediately stop their work to pay their respects to Chen Mu when they happened to meet him along the way. They respected the White Commander from the bottom of their hearts. He was the one who created the Wooden Word Camp and led them all the way up until today.

Sang Hanshui and Xiaobo immediately came over. Their eyes were red, yet they were extremely excited.

Sang Han Shui was excited but he felt regret at the same time. “Boss, there’s a lot of stuff here. We will not be able to carry it all.”

Chen Mu thought for a while and said, “Turn Oudi into a nameless money card. Apart from the items required for battle, focus on the materials. Try to see if there were any card experts here. Furthermore, try to bring more raw materials and processing equipment for the card appliance. Please do not forget that food is important for us too. Hurry up, we have to depart before 12 pm tomorrow.”

“Yes!” Sang Hanshui replied in a loud tone.

Chen Mu looked at Xiaobo and said, “Let’s declare our true identity to the public!”

Xiaobo laughed and said, “I’m eager to see the reactions of those people!”

The plundering was still ongoing. However, there was still a lot of things that could not be carried away in a hurry.

“Sir. What are we going to do with this stuff? Throw them away? It would be such a pity! What if we tried to look for more shuttles to carry these items?” Rafael looked at the items, which she would be unable to carry away, reluctantly.

Sang Han Shui shook his head and said, “Our team is big enough. We do not have enough manpower to carry this stuff.”

“What a pity to leave all these items to them!”

“Leave it all to them?” Sang Han Shui sneered. He then suddenly put on a fierce look and said, “Pass down my order! Burn and blow up everything that’s left! We shall not allow the badass Cang Lan to take any advantage of the stuff we left!”

“Yes!” said Rafael energetically.

A large-scale and bloated troop was floating in the sky at 12 pm the next day. The city in front of them did not go through many changes, however, Chen Mu knew that the communication facilities, the underground long-distance shuttle cars, and other transportation facilities in this city had been destroyed. The troops sent by Cang Lan to this city would be getting this awful mess. The card artisans who were hiding in their camps had accepted the behavior of Wooden Word Camp since they would not be greatly affected. However, everyone was relieved knowing that this troop was going to leave. They could never forget how powerful this team was.

They could finally learn about the origins of the Wood Battalion.

Wooden Word Camp… What a strange name. No one had ever heard of the name in the past. However, its creator—the White Commander—was well-known by everyone.

The Great Four Coalition Army of the Underworld had failed to eliminate the Wooden Word Troop, causing the Cang Jiang Military Force, which was the leader of the Great Four Coalition Army, to be completely wiped out by the Wooden Word Camp! Yan Yu, who ranked tenth in the Black Line Star Listing was killed! The enemy was able to break out from the encirclement set up by them, and had managed to raid Bomen city. The capabilities of the Wooden Wood Camp was beyond their expectations. The people then started to recall the review given by the greatest tactical genius in the Heavenly Federation, RossijI, a well-known card artisan who was in a mask all the time.

The White Commander had became a tactical genius in the Heavenly Federation while the Wooden Word Camp had become one of the most popular teams in the Heavenly Federation, standing head to head with the Snow Silks Worm Card Artisans Group.

Chen Mu drew back his sight and said, “Let’s go. Our next target is the Thousand Lakes!”
