Chapter 262: Utterly Convinced, Swearing Allegiance

Upon hearing Jack assign the players from Wuwu County to transport duties, the players of the Student Legion began to worry.

A Frontline Team squad leader said, “On the Crimson Earth, there are also many life-support auxiliary Guilds that assist combat-oriented Guilds and Squads. We have experience cases of subcontracting transport tasks to subordinate Guilds, so you can rest assured—they can hardly manage to steal.”

Chu Feng blinked and nodded. “I see, I was overthinking it. It seems the development on the Crimson Earth is already quite mature.”

Meanwhile, Jack looked at the rows of modified vehicles parked by the roadside. Each had a peculiar design, built on the chassis of wheeled armored vehicles, and he asked curiously, “Earlier, I heard you say you’re a Mechanic. Did you modify all these vehicles by yourself?”

Chen Dong nodded politely. “That’s right, it’s no big deal. You see, the roads in Dragon Roar City have been torn apart by protruding tree roots, so I modified them into off-road chassis with better passability.”

“Oh, by the way, Big Brother Jack, if you want us to carry out transport tasks, I can modify trucks or vans. Everyone can squeeze into the cargo compartments, and we can use the players’ spatial backpacks for transport. That way, we can move much more in one trip.”

Hearing this, Jack’s eyes lit up. He thought to himself, Is that even possible?

Chu Feng exclaimed in surprise, “That’s a great idea! Players’ spatial backpacks can hold much more, and the human body takes up no space or weight. A truck full of people driving to the Sanctuary could increase transport capacity more than tenfold at once.”

“Good, then I’ll have the people in the Black Sphere War Room locate trucks, vans, and other such vehicles.” Jack sent the frontline results back via text on his phone.

Jack said, “We’ve wasted too much time here. Everyone, get to work quickly. Raise the Instance Dungeon difficulty to the highest and wait for Artillery Support.”

The players from Wuwu County were stunned. The highest difficulty? Can we even handle that? And Artillery Support? What the hell? They felt Jack’s side was already quite well-equipped.

Chen Dong was even more awestruck. There are always people beyond people, skies beyond skies. It seems there are many things I still don’t know. I can’t be like that fool Wu Qi, causing trouble everywhere.

“Hurry up and leave. The coordinates have been calculated. The Artillery Strike will arrive in two minutes.” As he spoke, Jack walked over to the control console slab, tapping and drawing on it.

“What? Two minutes? Have they been targeting us all along?” a player from Wuwu County exclaimed in shock.

“They talk about the highest difficulty so casually. How terrifying their strength must be.”

Chen Dong marveled at Jack and his team’s execution. They were nothing like the disorganized players of Wuwu County. Jack’s group moved like a disciplined army, obeying orders without question. It seemed their Leader was an exceptionally capable figure.

Chen Dong decisively urged everyone to evacuate immediately, leaving the Stadium to avoid being accidentally injured by Jack’s team.

Jack tapped and drew on the control console slab, adjusting the difficulty to the highest—Torment Tier.

“Swish, swish, swish.” Sounds emerged as Red-Armored Goblins rushed out from the Magic Circle one after another.

Seeing thousands of ferocious Aberrant Beast Demons with menacing faces, the players from Wuwu County were so frightened they turned and ran, moving much faster than when Chen Dong had urged them earlier.

“Good heavens, what kind of monsters are these?” “Such terrifying pressure!” “Quick, pull me out! My legs are too weak to move!”

Meanwhile, the members of the Student Legion looked up at the sky, counting down the time until the Artillery Shells would land. Their current coordination was seamless—they could fire the shells first, then aggro the monsters, with the shells landing just as all the monsters appeared, maximizing their time efficiency.

Seeing the Artillery Shells about to hit, Jack, out of his former Mercenary habits, instinctively reached for a cigarette in his chest pocket. Finding none, he thought, “Forget it. For Kamiyu’s sake, I shouldn’t smoke.”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.” The sound of Magic Artillery Shells echoed from the sky.

Everyone looked up. “When did the artillery arrive?” “Aren’t human weapons ineffective against Aberrant Beast Demons?”

“Boom, boom, boom.” The sounds erupted.

The Stadium Mine was once again engulfed in a sea of fire, instantly wiping out over a thousand Trash Mobs.

“What incredible Attack!” “Th-this… they’re all wiped out? Am I seeing this right?” “Is this real? Or am I dreaming?”

To speed up clearing the Instance Dungeon and avoid wasting the Magic Artillery Shells, Jack actively leaped into the sea of fire, letting the flames consume him as the Elemental Sprite’s Piggy Bank fiercely Absorbed the fire-attribute Damage.

“Oh my god, what is Jack doing?” “Jumping into the fire on purpose—is he trying to kill himself?” “I don’t get it, I really don’t get it.”

Jack casually picked up a Goblin that wasn’t fully cooked yet, tore it in half, and smeared its blood all over himself, adding a 5x Defense Power Buff.

“Yue, yue.” One person knelt on the ground, vomiting. “Wow, that’s insane.” “Is he even human?” “Good thing we didn’t oppose him,” said that distant relative of Wu Qi.

“Growl!” A Level 48 Dungeon Boss Red Giant appeared.

Without even using a Taunt Skill, Jack raised his right fist and charged straight ahead, his Skate Shoes at triple speed making his punches even faster.

Like a cold-blooded killer, Jack uttered without hesitation or change in expression: “Hellfire Fist.”

His right fist slammed into the Red Giant’s knee, and a Crimson Flame Starving Wolf opened its bloody maw, swallowing the Red Giant Dungeon Boss whole.

“Isn’t this too exaggerated?” “Is this Damage a human can deal?” “Just what level is Big Brother Jack?” “Seems Wu Qi was like an egg striking a rock earlier—he kicked a steel plate.”

Chu Feng, atop his War Horse, laughed and declared loudly: “It’s not over yet.”

Indeed, the Endless Fury Gauntlets were a killer-level Weapon custom-made for Jack by Kamiyu. Even if stolen, others couldn’t use them because the secondary Damage would burn the user to death. But Jack, with 100% Damage Reflect, wasn’t afraid—he could redirect the secondary Damage onto the enemy, making one punch equivalent to two.

“Thorns Reflection,” Jack said softly.

“Boom!”

The Red Giant inside the flame wolf’s mouth exploded all over again, with Explosive Flames erupting from every part of its body. It knelt, then collapsed motionless.

With one punch killing the Red Giant Dungeon Boss, several Low Level Players in the Student Legion within the team leveled up several times again, while the others’ Experience Points also increased significantly.

The Players from Wu Qi County were all so shocked they couldn’t speak, standing frozen with their mouths agape.

This was their first time witnessing such combat—exquisite artillery coordination, with cannons powerful enough to instantly kill Aberrant Beast Demons above level 40. Moreover, Jack was completely unfazed by the flames, leaping into the sea of fire and delivering a single punch to annihilate the highest-difficulty Dungeon Boss.

If they were enemies, how could they possibly fight against this? Jack even claimed he wasn’t the strongest among them, mentioning someone more formidable named Kamiyu. Just how powerful was she?

Jack’s display of strength thoroughly impressed the Players of Wu Qi County. Their earlier complaints vanished instantly, and many began to entertain the idea of joining the Kamiyu Sanctuary.
