152: Chapter 152 The Suicide Truck

Grand Duke James looked at the steel scraps around him with a smug smile on his face, saying conceitedly, "I thought how powerful Wei He was, but it turns out he's so vulnerable. Even his Puppet Beasts are as useless as he is, hahahaha!"

Inside Laiselo Temple, Emperor Alexander listened as the reporting soldier described the battle outside. His brow instantly relaxed, and he said happily, "Excellent, hahahaha! As expected of Grand Duke William, he annihilated Wei He and his army as soon as he struck. Go and bring Randolph to me; I want to interrogate him thoroughly on why Wei He appeared in the attacking force!"

"Yes!" The soldier placed his hand on his saber, turned, and ran out quickly.

Outside Laiselo Temple, Grand Duke William watched a square-shaped Puppet Beast running toward him. As it got closer and closer, he gave a disdainful smile: "Only one Puppet Beast left, and it's being sent to its death. Wei He really has no one left under him, hahahaha!"

His magic robe had been shredded by the previous shell, and now a few strips of cloth hung from him, looking quite ridiculous. However, he still elegantly activated his Magic Shield, condensed a droplet of water in his hand, and gently flicked his finger, sending the droplet toward the Self-Destruct Truck.

Just as Grand Duke William expected, the water droplet pierced right through the Self-Destruct Truck. But before he could even feel smug, a thunderous boom echoed as a massive explosion occurred. A giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky, enveloping more than half of Laiseluo City.

The immense impact of the nuclear explosion shattered Grand Duke William's Magic Shield instantly. He was torn to pieces by the shockwave, and his remains fell onto the green radiation layer, dissolving into green sludge.

The entire Laiselo Temple was leveled to the ground. In a corner of Laiseluo City that had not been reached by the nuclear explosion, Austin, Emperor Alexander, and Grand Duke James stood in an empty room.

When the nuclear explosion occurred, the three of them immediately sensed that powerful force. Their expressions changed drastically as they soared into the air, pierced through the temple roof, and flew away from Laiselo Temple. Even so, their clothes were shaken to shreds by the shockwave of the explosion.

Others in Laiselo Temple were not so lucky. Those with low strength were directly blown to pieces by the shockwave, while those with slightly higher strength were dissolved into pools of green sludge by the green radiation layer along with the fragmented corpses of others.

"This power is too terrifying. Luckily we ran fast, otherwise we would be dead without a whole corpse like the others!" Austin's clothes hung in scattered tatters, and his face was covered in dust, looking incredibly disheveled. At this moment, he was in a state of shock.

"As I was leaving, I saw our colleagues dissolving into green sludge. What kind of technique is this? I've never seen it before. This Wei He is simply too mysterious and unfathomably deep!" Grand Duke James stared blankly at the sky outside, recalling the terrifying scene that had just occurred, and spoke with a worried face.

"I've seen this power before at Locke Mountain. While fighting Wei He's subordinates, I unintentionally absorbed some of this energy. Fortunately, I didn't absorb much at the time; otherwise, I would have ended up like them, turning into green sludge!" Austin said slowly.

"Grand Duke William, one of my great generals, and all my civil and military officials are gone just like that. What has happened? A year ago, the Magic Empire was still one of the strongest nations on the continent. How has more than half the country fallen into the hands of rebels in less than a year? Is heaven determined to destroy me?" Emperor Alexander stood by the window, looking up at the sky, tears welling in his eyes but never falling.

"It's nothing. Aren't we still alive? Besides, the rebel Wei He has already been brought to justice. Without their Commander, the others are just a scattered mess and nothing to fear. The three of us can just cast a few Forbidden Spells and settle them all!" Austin said, trying to comfort the melancholy Emperor Alexander.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We are alive and must eliminate these rebels to avenge the civil and military officials, Grand Duke William, and the entire Magic Empire!" Grand Duke James's eyes were still moist as he echoed Austin's words.

"Yes, revenge! Eliminate the rebels! I will reclaim the entire Magic Empire and execute everyone who followed Wei He, destroying their entire families to the ninth generation, leaving none alive!" Emperor Alexander's fists were clenched tight, his knuckles cracking. He stared intently at the sky and shouted in anger.

Inside the Red Alert Base on the outskirts of Laiseluo City, Wei He was still unaware of Emperor Alexander's rage. He was happily watching the screen, feeling smug as he sipped tea while witnessing the immense power of the nuclear explosion.

A single Self-Destruct Truck had already leveled more than half of Laiseluo City. Furthermore, after the explosion, more than half of the land in Laiseluo City was covered in a green radiation layer, where no living creature could possibly survive.

"Hahahaha, I won! Laiseluo City is mine! The Magic Empire is mine! Hahahaha!" Wei He shouted excitedly. He drained his tea in one gulp and then ordered someone to bring the fine wine Ravich had brought; he wanted to celebrate properly.

"This... this is Laiseluo City? How is this possible? How did you do it?" Tang Xiaowei asked in disbelief as she looked at the images on the screen. She had already been shocked when she first arrived at the Red Alert Base; everything around Wei He was new to her.

She had rushed in upon hearing the loud explosion, only to see such a scene on the screen. she truly couldn't believe that Wei He's claim of unifying the world wasn't just a pipe dream; his power was far greater than she had imagined.

"Hahahaha, no one in this world can withstand such a powerful force. Emperor Alexander has already lost. The Magic Empire is my first step toward unifying the world, hahahaha!" Wei He laughed maniacally, having swapped his teacup for a wine glass.

"Are you so sure Emperor Alexander is dead? Aren't you going to go confirm it?" Tang Xiaowei asked, feeling a bit worried as she looked at the somewhat crazed Wei He.

"No need. We can't step onto that land yet; we have to wait for the radiation to dissipate. Emperor Alexander has long since died under the nuclear explosion and radiation. Even if we went there, we wouldn't find his body, hahahaha!" Wei He said with a chuckle, picking up a wine glass and handing it to Tang Xiaowei.

"Oh, alright. But you shouldn't underestimate the abilities of a Saint Archmage. What if he's still alive?" Tang Xiaowei said stubbornly. Although she didn't know why Wei He's attack methods were so powerful, a Saint Archmage was no pushover either.

"If he's still alive, then that's great. I'll just bomb him again. If once isn't enough, I'll bomb him a hundred times until he's dead, hahahaha! I still have plenty of these bombs (Self-Destruct Trucks)! Hehehehe!" Wei He thought of the over a thousand Self-Destruct Trucks back in Harsh Forest, and as long as he wanted, he could build even more. Even bombarding the entire continent would be no difficult task.
