Blood Elf Monarch

Chapter 292 - Bombared



When the captain saw the level three threat, he immediately knew that he had to be cautious.

The threat level system was made as a way to compare the strength of surrounding opponents to the strength of the space cruiser's standard crew.

The cruiser itself had a standard of a hundred space knights and four hundred space troopers as fighting force; there were also 10 saint-level officers and normally, the cruiser would also have three magus-level leaders including himself.

The lower the threat level, the less likely it was for the cruiser crew to face danger. A level one threat meant that it was almost harmless, while a level two threat meant that although there was still a risk, the danger was minimal. As for a level three threat, it meant that there was a moderate risk of danger.

The system determined the threat level of surrounding opponents by calculating the strength of the surrounding fighters detected coupled with the technological advancement of the opposing side.

Captain Jenkins normally would not bat an eye when he saw a level three threat as he himself had seen several level four threats before. However, this was a lower realm world with lower-level technology. To find a level three threat in a lower realm world despite the low level of technology could only mean that a certain amount of high-level fighters were present.

Therefore, when he saw a saint-level fighter approaching, he decisively commenced an attack.

There's no need to be soft with a world that tolerated living with elves, he silently thought to himself.

"Quickly scan for high-level individuals," Jenkins sternly commanded.

"We found 6 high-level individuals. Four of them are at magus level and the other two are at saint level, all gathered in the large building up ahead," the officer on the bridge reported after a moment.

"Good. Commence the ion blaster toward them!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The captain could see the major who was standing next to him hesitating, and he could more or less tell what the major wanted to do. The major was thinking of stopping him, but in the end, he decided that it was better not to do anything at the moment. After all, although it was true that the major outranked him, the major already said that he came along just for observation.

[Recharging ion blaster...]

[Ion blaster will be ready in 10, 9, 8, 7… 1.]

"Captain, the ion blaster is ready to fire!"

"Fire!" Jenkins immediately commanded.

Right at this moment, the ship shot a high-energy beam, causing half of the palace and a part of the city to be blown to smithereens.

"Captain, report. One magus-level target has been destroyed," the officer reported with satisfaction.

However, contrary to how the reporting officer felt, Jenkins actually felt unsatisfied when he heard the report. Although he did not say anything, Jenkins expected more of these high-level fighters to be eliminated before sending his team to the ground, after all. 

This line of action was a guideline to be followed when facing low realm worlds and high-level fighters. By showing the technological advancement they had compared to the people of these low realm worlds, the chance of these locals submitting without trouble would be much higher.

Seeing that not enough impact was created, Captain Jenkins gave out another order.

"Shoot the cannons toward the palace!"

"Yes, captain!"

In total, the ship had eight auto cannons installed on its top and bottom. All eight large tube-like machines rotated altogether, aiming at the same target. Immediately after, those eight cannons shot at the palace building at the same time.

BAMM!! BAMM!! BAMM!!

The sound of explosions thundered in the sky followed by a high explosion bombarding the palace. Everyone from both the attacking ship and the palace below could see that the palace was about to be completely destroyed when all of a sudden, they saw that the explosion shot was stopped by an energy barrier in the sky.

Behind the energy barrier, three people were flying in the air, stopping all the auto cannons' attacks.

"Reporting, three magus-level individuals stopped the cannons' shots, Sir!" the officer hastily reported. Surprise could be seen clearly on his face.

"I can see that," the captain simply responded. To him, the action was something predictable. Seeing this response from them, he knew what to do next.

"Change targets to the surrounding of the city," he commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, Captain!"

When the cannons started to aim toward different areas of the cities, the three magus-level fighters could be seen rushing to separate ways, doing their best to block the shots that were about to come. Unfortunately, in contrast to the eight cannons, there were only three of them. Despite their attempt, the three magus-level fighters were unable to stop all the shots.

The cannon blew up different parts of the cities, bringing terror and screams to the people.

A flood of people was seen disorderly rushing out of the city. There were even a group of knights in blue among them, charging out of the town.

Seeing the chaos, Captain Jenkins laughed out loud. "Hahaha! Do you see now, Major? They will eventually surrender like this."

The major smiled in response and generously complimented, "Very good, Captain. Impressive."

Within a few minutes, one of the officers came and reported to him, "Captain, the ion blaster is ready."

"Good! Aim directly at that old-looking magus, he seems to be the strongest among them."

[Recharging ion blaster...]

[Ion blaster will be ready in 10. 9, 8, 7… 1]

Before the captain could give his order, the communication officer suddenly hurriedly shouted:

"Captain, we received a message from the city!"

"Ah, so they do have a way to send messages. What is it about? Are they surrendering already?" Jenkins condescendingly asked. After all, with the current situation, it was only expected that the other side would surrender to minimize their casualties.

But contrary to his expectations, the communication officer responded to him, "No, Captain! It's a message from Captain Siegfried of the Grey Wolf!"
