Blackrock Town is one of the ten towns under the jurisdiction of Giant Stone City. Blackrock Town is surrounded by mountains and has very little arable land, making most of the land unsuitable for farming.
However, there are several large iron ore veins around Blackrock Town.
Baron Kirov of Blackrock Town used these large iron ore veins to transform the entire town into a steel-smelting and weapon-manufacturing hub. The weapons from Blackrock Town supplied countless nobles of the Feindro Principality, earning Baron Kirov immense wealth.
The prosperity of Blackrock Town far surpassed that of Maple Leaf Town. The total population of Maple Leaf Town was less than a thousand, while Blackrock Town had a population of 30,000. Blackrock Town was also the wealthiest of the ten towns under the jurisdiction of Giant Stone City.
The only drawback of Blackrock Town was its inability to produce its own food, requiring the annual purchase of large quantities of grain from various places. This is why Baron Kirov had set his sights on the Zhao family's Maple Leaf Town. If he could acquire the fertile Maple Leaf Town, Baron Kirov would no longer lack food.
Two kilometers outside Blackrock Town, on a small hill.
Yang Feng stood on the hill, overlooking the distant Blackrock Town. Behind him stood 50 Level 4 swordsmen, 50 Level 4 spearmen, 10 artillerymen, and two Level 5 liquid metal robots. All the robots were dressed in black battle robes, exuding a formidable and lethal aura.
Yang Feng pointed at Blackrock Town and ordered, "Blackrock Town, I want it! Charge and seize Blackrock Town! Show no mercy to those who resist!"
"Yes, Master!" The 112 robots responded in unison with their mechanical voices.
After speaking, 30 swordsmen, 30 spearmen, 5 artillerymen, and one Level 5 liquid metal robot immediately charged down the hill, heading straight for Blackrock Town.
Yang Feng took out a metal helmet and put it on.
This metal helmet was called a consciousness transmission helmet, which could link Yang Feng's consciousness to any robot within a 5-kilometer radius that was equipped with a receiving chip, allowing him to directly control these combat robots.
In the Durlando continent, there were knights with incredibly powerful physical strength and sorcerers with mysterious and formidable abilities. Many sorcerers possessed terrifying powers that could cause death silently and without a trace. Yang Feng did not dare to go to the battlefield himself, for fear of dying without even knowing how.
Before merging with the inheritance robot 3796, Yang Feng's original body was extremely fragile, and even an ordinary person could kill him. A powerful sorcerer could easily eliminate him with a slight move.
In an instant, Yang Feng's consciousness linked with the Level 5 liquid metal robot. The body of the Level 5 liquid metal robot twisted and rapidly transformed into Yang Feng's body.
"This is the ability of the Dawn Race's strong, to freely move between the bodies of their subordinate robots, completely controlling any robot. As long as the soul is not destroyed, one can be reborn in any robot's body. If one is about to die of old age and cannot find a way to extend their life, becoming a robot is also a good choice."
Yang Feng twisted his body and found that the body formed by the liquid metal robot was not inferior to his own flesh body, feeling just like another body of his own.
"Unfortunately, this body has no sensation!"
Yang Feng pinched his right hand with all his might, almost deforming it, but even so, his right hand felt nothing.
The voice of 3796 suddenly sounded in Yang Feng's mind: "Master, if you want sensation, it's not unsolvable! Once you build a Level 3 mobile fortress base, you can manufacture flesh and blood liquid metal robots. These robots can give you all the sensations of a human body, including the perfect experience of human mating activities."
"Shut up!" Yang Feng angrily cursed.
The voice of 3796 immediately disappeared.
Blackrock Town already had the雏形 of a city, with a six-meter-high city wall surrounding it. At the entrance of the city wall, six warriors were on guard.
Seeing the more than sixty robots, all dressed in black robes and exuding a murderous aura, charging towards them, the six warriors immediately sounded the alarm.
A piercing alarm echoed throughout Blackrock Town.
The steel city gate was immediately lowered to block the entrance.
More than thirty well-trained, fully armed archers quickly arrived at the city gate, vigilantly watching Yang Feng's forces.
"Attack the city!"
At Yang Feng's command, the five artillerymen stepped forward, their 120-millimeter heavy cannons aimed at the city gate.
Boom!!
With five earth-shattering explosions, the steel city gate was shattered into pieces, and the powerful vibrations even knocked several archers off the city wall.
"They are sorcerers, alchemists!! They are sorcerers!!" A squad leader on the city wall, seeing this, was terrified and stammered in fear.
The archers also turned pale and trembled uncontrollably.
Sorcerers were the most powerful beings in this world. Some powerful sorcerers were akin to gods to ordinary people. Now that the city gate was breached, the warriors lost their confidence to fight against the legendary sorcerers.
Only the most elite, strongest, and rigorously trained armies had the courage to face sorcerers, and the forces of a small place like Blackrock Town had no such courage to face a powerful sorcerer.
"Those who surrender and lay down their weapons will not be killed, but those who resist will be killed without mercy!" A swordsman stepped forward and shouted loudly.
The archers on the city wall trembled, hesitated for a moment, and then one of them dropped his weapon and knelt down. As if a chain reaction had been triggered, the other warriors also dropped their weapons and knelt down.
After Yang Feng sent five swordsmen to take charge of the captives, he continued to lead the main force into Blackrock Town.
Inside Blackrock Town, it was now completely silent, with all the townspeople hiding in their homes, watching Yang Feng's group with terrified eyes.
The city wall of Blackrock Castle was ten meters high and one kilometer in diameter, built entirely of black rock as hard as steel. Even a knight of the Knight rank could not leap over a ten-meter-high wall in one jump, and a Grand Knight would need to remove their heavy armor to possibly do so.
On the city wall of Blackrock Castle stood more than two hundred soldiers, all wearing leather armor and wielding various weapons, standing at their posts. Their morale and spirit were clearly several times stronger than those of the warriors in Maple Leaf Castle.
Two heavy crossbows were placed on the city wall, each seven meters long, with arrows of the same length, requiring five or six people to operate them. The power of these heavy crossbows was immense; even a Grand Knight would be killed if hit by a direct shot.
