Chapter 92 - Forgive Me For Being Direct… (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang He basically dug out his entire yard to harvest 150 potatoes.
But that did not add up, and he wondered if he should dig again when he returned.
After all, this stuff would explode if anyone stepped on it, and it would be hilarious if he blew himself up for his own negligence.
In the meantime, he had planted 50 out of the 150 potatoes, saving a hundred.
To ensure that the firepower was sufficient, Jiang He arranged them close to each other: he planted five rows with ten in each row, with a distance of 30 meters between each potato to put up a square formation stretching over 300 meters by 150 meters.
After he had finished planting his landmines, Jiang He put his sports car into his System Backpack so that it would not be caught in the blast. Then, he drew out a carrot and ate while he waited.

And in the time that he finished one—
Boom!
The earth rumbled.
Jiang He’s ears pricked up and he exclaimed in surprise, “What’s that sound? It feels like thousands of people are running at the same time…”
He rose to his feet and looked out to the east.
Under the moonlight, he could see waves of human figures dashing wildly away on the tar road of the mountaintop farms. Their movements might be stiff, but they were exceedingly rapidly as they dashed alongside enormous Ferals.
The most eye-catching was one particularly massive pig.
Jiang He could feel its frightening presence even though it was seven hundred meters away.
“Eh?”
Jiang He suddenly gasped in surprise then. “A boar knight? Am I seeing things, or is there really someone sitting on top of the boar?”
He had to be seeing things.
Riding a boar?
While the revival of qi had prompted certain boars to evolve into powerful creatures, but riding one… how low would a person’s aesthetical values be to do that?
But even as that thought crossed his mind, Jiang He had already drawn out his Dragon-Slaying Saber.

In the distance.
Pain Star was seated cross-legged over the horned boar. Killer Star, who was following the creature, was still dripping blood from the gaping sword wound over his chest, his dead eyes glimmering with an unnerving milkiness.
At the same time, the Heavenly Generals Earthen Majesty, Earthen Diction, and Earthen Savage were staying tightly by their side.
Pain Star spoke then, asking, “Where are the remaining members of our group?”
“My lady, they are hiding in an unpopulated village right now, but would join the battle at Lingzhou City upon your command.”
Earthen Savage responded with reverence.
Pain Star, however, waved him off. “No need.”
“It’s Lingzhou City. There’s not even a rank-nine around—they would never stop me unless they deploy arsenals of high-grade thermal weapons.”
Her words were filled with confidence.
After all, her superpower was enough for her to stand alone against an army in such battles.
As for arsenals of high-grade thermal weapons?
With over several hundred thousand individuals populating Lingzhou City, as long as the Martial Arts Department (MAD) and military would not abandon their rationality and resort to citywide slaughter, they would never have the guts to use thermal weapons.
“Earthen Diction. You’re good at posture techniques, so take point and scout ahead.”
“Yes, my lady!”
The Earthen Diction Heavenly General darted away rapidly, and returned as quickly as he left, saying, “My lady, there is someone obstructing our path ahead.”
“Oh?”
