Chapter 252 - Siege of the Scorpion Corps (2/2)

Although these cannonballs were not very powerful, they were definitely not weak. Any G-tier aptitude user would definitely be blown into pieces if they were not able to dodge the cannonballs in time.

But any F-tier aptitude user could easily evade them.

If they had any F-tier gunners, they might even be able to directly repel the cannonballs.

At this time, outside the Scorpion Corps territory, a few of the Scorpion Corps watchguards were rubbing their fists as they grumbled.

“We’re deep in the forest where there are no ultra beasts. If there’s any, it’ll probably be beasts that’re looking to mate. We’re so unlucky to be sent out for night watch!”

“You don’t say, but I’ve got some wine here, let’s drink!”

“Haha, not bad for a young lad like you. Ok, drink up!”

They were not wary of the invasion in the slightest. After all, the location where they were stationed was so remote that not even the birds would fly over there.

None of them would have thought that someone would launch a surprise attack on them.

After downing a cup of wine, they heard a buzzing sound in their ears.

“Wow, is your wine really this strong? I’m already getting a little dizzy, and I can even hear a buzz in my ear!”

“Huh? I don’t think so, I secretly drank a cup earlier but I didn’t feel anything!”

“You brat, I can’t believe you didn’t share some with me earlier!”

Suddenly, the man felt that something was not right and he stared into the night sky.

Even if there was a mental energy field around to prevent the loud sound from being heard, the sound could still be heard if the person was standing close to the sound source.

Whoosh…

The cannonballs fell from the sky, producing sparks as they grazed through the air.

“We’re under attack!” The man let out a harsh, fearful roar.

At this time, there were already some F-tier aptitude users who had spotted the cannonballs.

A Dark Organization like the Scorpion Crops could not afford to train that many gunners, instead they had many ancient warriors, with ability users being in the dominant position.

At that moment, the two F-tier gunners immediately countered the attack.

“Conscious force, repel!”

In an instant, around half of the fifty cannonballs were reversed and they flew in the direction from which they were shot from.

However, the remaining cannonballs were taken care of by another gunner. The gunner set up his cannon and took aim at one of the cannonballs.

By hitting one of the cannonballs, the other cannonballs would also explode in mid-air!

Whoosh!

The cannonball flew into the sky.

It struck the barrage of cannonballs and caused a chain of explosions. In just the blink of an eye, the sky was dyed red.

Boom boom boom boom!

The loud deafening blasts broke the silence of the night, which woke up all the members of the Scorpion Corps. All of them rushed out frantically to find out what was happening.

“Quick, take cover and prepare to retreat!”

One of the higher-ups of the Scorpion Corps roared in fury.

At that moment, Scorpio, an E-tier aptitude user, came out of his caravan which the higher-ups reside in.

Scorpio had a pair of triangular slit-eyes, which displayed his ruthless expression.

He was around forty years old and had been an E-tier aptitude user for more than ten years, so he could be said to be an old fart among the dark forces.

No one dared to make a move against Scorpio.

Recently, he had been expanding his territory at a frantic pace, which earned him quite a lot of income and his strength had improved as well.

Now, he was already an E-tier ancient warrior.

Boom!

Without hesitation, Scorpio took a step forward and activated his motion arts technique. In the next moment, he was already dashing toward the valley.
