Chapter 149: Finishing the Leftovers

The sturdy armored car could not block out the increasingly ear-piercing sharp wind sound. The armored driver, who was tortured by this bizarre war to the point he was on the verge of having a mental breakdown, felt his brain twitching slightly in nervousness. Absentmindedly, he stared at the control console in front and instinctively felt as though a disaster was coming soon.

In desperation, his rational heartstring finally snapped! Loudly, he shouted, “F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! Who the f*cking hell can tell me who the f*ck these people are? Have I come to Superman’s world or met with X-men or something?! Dead! Everyone is dead! Since everyone is dead already, there’s no need for me to live anymore! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! I just want to kill you! I’ll die together with all of you…”

Activating the armored car in desperation, he accelerated the speed to its fastest and crashed into the woods, bringing along with him the warrior from the supernatural realm who was accumulating his power.

The armored car’s tires rubbed against the ground and made a sharp friction noise. The engine roared as it slammed and broke five to six small trees. Finally, with a loud “bang”, it crashed heavily onto a giant tree that had a diameter of more than five meters before losing its power.

The forest finally regained its tranquility, with a remnant of looming shooting and explosive sounds resonating from the distance.

All of a sudden, a short-haired archer wearing leather armor while carrying a low bow and arrow quiver suddenly leaped down from the canopy of a big tree as he was covered in a cloak that could change its color to the environment. Staggeringly, he jumped onto the roof of the armored car and shouted out loud, “Ovidiste, are you okay?”

A stiff yet weak voice resonated from the front of the armored vehicle that was covered completely by numerous broken leaves and branches. “Efyrmin, I’m a man and a warrior on top of that! If you can’t even die, o-of course I wouldn’t! Go away first…”

Then, a frantic typhoon suddenly rushed towards the armored vehicle and threw the armed armored vehicle that weighed 10 tons into the sky.

Immediately, a double-edged sword that was the size of a tree that was ten meters high, which was formed by a green-colored air pressure that was visible to the eyes materialized in the center of the hurricane. It then pierced the entire armored car, transforming it into a pile of scrap iron mixed with blood and mud.

“Ovidiste, you bull! Did you really have to waste such a powerful technique?” the archer who leaped into the air like he was weightless asked with pity.

After the short strong warrior destroyed the armored car and freed himself, he tore away the armor on his body that was already ruined with his bare hands, revealing a steel-like chest that was bulging with several warheads. “Efyrmin, you should know that I’m a berserker and not a weapon master. A technique that has already been accumulated with power must be unleashed right away. On top of that, it’s not a waste to use this technique to kill an opponent who had courage exceeding my expectations.”

At this time, these two people had obviously removed all of the enemies but the archer did not really think of getting out of danger after seeing her companion freeing himself from danger. Instead, she sat on the ground while hugging her knees. “This person was not courageous but had gone mad with fear instead. The commotion caused by the battle here is so huge so I think the enemy’s reinforcement is going to arrive soon. But still, we still have some time to catch our breaths.”

“You look more like a woman when you sit down.” A ridiculing smile appeared on the berserker’s iron-like face as he sat beside the archer. “You’re injured, right? If that Earth’s boy knows, his heart will ache so much for you. I could tell with just a single glance yesterday night. If it was not for the fact that he was confounded by your beauty, he would not have switched sides to us in the first place. Justice… Yeah right! Those devils won’t understand this word at all!”

“Ovidiste, shut your stinky mouth! I couldn’t cast the Seduction Spell at all. Kamil is a boy who knows true justice, he doesn’t have any other motives for switching to our side.”

“If you say so…” The berserker grinned as he fell into a moment of silence. “We’re going to die, Efyrmin. Do you think we’d still return into the arms of the gods if we die here?”

“Hasn’t Sage Altman said before that we’re Red Iron Nation’s people? After our souls leave the restraints of our bodies, they will naturally return to our beautiful homeland. Altacia’s maple leaves have already turned red and my mum must have finished brewing her milk wine long ago. After our souls return, I’ll give you a treat before we go to the Kingdom of God…”

While the archer was talking, a gigantic toad covered with many corns suddenly appeared out of nowhere from behind his back, before using its cracked black mouth to interrupt his last imagination.

“Efyrmin, watch out…” the berserker yelled out loud and made a standard rescue action. Rolling to one side, he stood up and brandished his giant sword to guard in front of the archer, causing the outstretched tongue of the toad to not stick onto the archer that had weak close combat ability but onto the berserker warrior instead.

“It’s not that easy to eat me, monster…” The berserker whose entire body was stuck did not get swept into the toad’s stomach. Instead, he yelled out loud before starting to fight with the monster with his entire strength.

“Ovidiste, hang in there…” The archer, who managed to dodge away, leaped up and concentrated to shoot out three arrows with all her might to save her companion. Afterward, her body was suddenly kept in place in midair, as more than ten bloody holes were pierced on her entire body diagonally.

As fresh blood dripped down, it dyed the terrifying lower jaw of a giant beast. “Pitter-patter”, like rain, the blood showered down on the ground.

Massive blood loss caused the archer, who was already severely injured from the US’ gunfire attack to no longer have the ability to resist the enemy’s tyranny. However, instead of showing a despaired look, a longing smile crept upon the corners of her mouth. “Ovidiste, I’m going back now. I’m going back now… I can see the maple leaves already, maple leaves that are as beautiful as the sunset… Ah M-Mother, is it you? Efyrmin is coming back home now. I’m coming back home…”

Hearing his companion’s whisper, the berserker let out a final roar. “Efyrmin! Monsters! Let’s all die together!”

Instead of retreating, he took the initiative to throw his body towards the giant toad that was hit by the three arrows, of which wounds that were the size of a well emitting dark green liquid formed on the toad’s skin.

Unfortunately, before he even managed to get close, the toad had already spat out a fierce cyclone from its mouth, tearing the berserker’s body apart till he was riddled with thousands of open wounds.

After twitching and struggling for a few times, the gaze of this strong mighty warrior began to lost its spark as his life faded away.

“Six more to go…” Zhang Lisheng, who was hiding behind the backseat of the Land Rover Defender, was not touched by this episode of sadness within the battlefield. After killing two enemies in a row, he sighed heavily in relief and motioned the wizard gus to eat the dead bodies of the spies from the supernatural realm that contained mysterious power as he muttered to himself, “And there’s that enigmatic Sage Altman and that horrifying Sorcerer Julinas. Hopefully, they’re separated as well…”

Feeling the wizard power boiling in his body, the young man muttered to himself for a moment. He seemed to have realized that he was daydreaming. After all, no matter how dumb the enemies were, they would not be stupid enough to divide their forces for a surprise attack and leave their main force alone as a sacrifice.

He chuckled at himself mockingly and then drove the wizard gus that had filled their stomach to either enter stealth mode or go back in his backpack before opening the door and ushering the Mastiff that he originally wanted to use as a weapon but in the end did not have a chance to, back in the car.

Soon after, he started the car, reversed it and got back on the highway.

It did not take a long time for him to command the wizard gu to kill the enemies but due to the reason that Zhang Lisheng had used the “connect” spell to command the wizard gus to share their omniscient power in succession, he could still clearly feel the rapid depletion of his energy.

After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and drove towards Honolulu city as he felt that he must face the unpredictable enemies like Altman and Julinas in a perfect condition carefully.

On his way back to town, the young man came across several cars stopping by the roadside with hesitation. It was apparent that these car owners had originally planned to go to the volcanic area for a trip but after they heard the shooting and sounds of explosion, they no longer dared to get near to it.

After he continued to drive for a distance ahead, a sudden roaring of huge armed helicopters resonated in the air, passing over Zhang Lisheng’s head.

Since then, the roaring of the helicopters passing through the sky lingered in his ear, all the way back to Honolulu town. The young man counted in his heart and to his surprise, there were actually more than ten helicopters in total.

Right now, it was already close to nighttime. The setting sun shone down on the blue sea of the Pacific Ocean and reflected its waves.

Zhang Lisheng, who had already fallen in love with enjoying his dinner under the caress of the sea breeze outdoors while immersing himself in the beautiful coastal scenery, parked his car in front of an outdoor restaurant. Then, he proceeded to the beach and ordered a lobster set meal.

Sitting under the sun umbrella, drinking a glass of Coke filled with ice, he muttered to himself, “What the hell? So many Apache helicopters? Don’t tell me that an aircraft carrier fleet has also arrived…”

Taking out his phone, he keyed in ‘Hawaiian Military status’ on the Internet and started to search for information.

In an instant, innumerable information appeared on the screen of his mobile phone. With just a glance, the young man was immediately dumbfounded.

The first article written on the screen read Hawaii’s position in the US’ military layout. The Hawaiian Islands and the Midway Atoll connecting to the US’ motherland and each of the military bases in the Western Pacific Ocean were the command center for the US Pacific Army and the transportation hub for both sea and air in the Pacific Ocean.

What followed next was a detailed introduction to the Hawaiian garrison. The US Naval Base Pearl Harbor was 13 kilometers away from Honolulu, where it was the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet and the largest frontier base in the Pacific.

The US Marine Corps Camp H. M. Smith was also where the US Indo-Pacific Command and the US Pacific Marine Fleet Force lied.

Fort Shafter and Schofield Barracks, located north of Honolulu, were home to the US Army Pacific Command. There were two infantry brigades, one aviation brigade and the 25th Infantry Division directly under the army.

The Hawaii Marine Corps Base in Kaneohe Bay, 19 kilometers north of Honolulu, housed 6,800 Marines and Navy personnel…

The Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, home to the US Pacific Air Force Headquarters, was 14 kilometers away from Honolulu. It was also the 15th Air Base Wing and the 502nd Air Operation Group.

“Sh*t! I didn’t even know that this island was basically a wasp nest! One, two, three, four, five! There are freaking five military bases in Hawaii, four of which are next to Honolulu! T-This, this is really…” Zhang Lisheng had already searched for information regarding Hawaii before he came here but it had never crossed his mind that he would actually make such a major slip-up as he was starting to have his mind swimming in turmoil.
