Lieutenant Slyke Thompson roared as he transformed.

He was a Second Order “Imperial Fist”, who possessed an even stronger controllable mutation ability.

His body rapidly expanded, growing by several meters on the spot.

Countless hardened bones grew beneath the skin all over his body.

These iron-gray bones were harder than ordinary steel, and they were all secreted by Slyke’s internal biochemical glands.

In just 10 seconds, Slyke, who had previously been a human warrant officer, transformed into an Iron Giant wrapped in a hardened exoskeleton! Bright red flames scattered from the spiral-shaped furnace in his abdomen.

The air temperature around him rose a few degrees.

The heat spread outwards, and Noland felt a burning sensation on his face as if he was standing in front of a steel smelter.

“Lieutenant Slyke Thompson is actually the ‘Iron Forge Giant’! No wonder he’s the captain of the elite squad. His steel shell is best suited for escorting personnel, and the lava flow inside him is extremely lethal.” Sergeant Mars had trembling eyes, full of longing.

He grabbed Noland and ran towards Lieutenant Slyke Thompson.

Lieutenant Slyke Thompson bent down and stretched out his wide steel palm, allowing the two to stand on it.

His chest’s steel exoskeleton opened in half, revealing a space barely large enough for two people.

After putting Noland and Mars in the space, a muffled rumbling of heat waves surged within Lieutenant Slyke Thompson’s body, similar to the roaring of a powerful internal combustion engine.

“Woo woo-”

White steam jetted out of Lieutenant Slyke Thompson’s back, and his body accelerated rapidly.

Hidden in the steel exoskeleton’s space, Noland firmly gripped the steel bones beside him to remain standing against the strong pushing sensation.

Gazing through the gaps between the steel exoskeleton, Noland saw the rapidly enlarging Necromancer’s Outpost.

The distance between Lieutenant Slyke Thompson and the Necromancer’s Outpost was quickly reduced, as the incredibly strong high-pressure steam propelled the Iron Forge Giant on his way.

The War Spirits standing on the watchtower’s rooftop became clearer in Noland’s eyes.

It was a tall skeleton undead wearing a black armor and cloak, covered in mysterious Undead Runes all over its bones.

With a big figure, wide and solid shoulders, and exquisite yet antique armor, it had an embedded diamond-shaped black gem on its forehead and a white Bone Treasure Sword with swirling green lights in its hand, full of evilness.

The Bone Treasure Sword was probably not a melee weapon.

It was very likely similar to the Bone-mending Wand, a spell-casting medium in the form of a sword—a sword-shaped magic wand.

Noland’s brow furrowed as he pondered secretly.

He had already mastered several Necromancer Summoning Arrays by now.

These were harmlessly deconstructed from the “Martyr’s Ten Commandments – Summary”.

However, due to the lack of ritual materials and venues, he had always been unable to summon his own undead followers.

If he could summon undead as easily as the War Spirits, he would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble and not have to worry about secretly setting up summoning arrays.

He had some Energy Points on hand now and desperately wanted to acquire a spell to temporarily summon Undead Creatures.

Did the War Spirit itself possess the ability to summon undead on the spot, or was it the Bone Treasure Sword that gave it this ability?

If he would gamble on it and fail to acquire the temporary summoning spell, wouldn’t that be a big loss…

Before Noland could draw a conclusion, there was a new change within the outpost.

The War Spirit at the top of the watchtower grasped the Bone Treasure Sword with both hands, and forcefully stabbed the sword down, inserting it into the watchtower beneath his feet.

The bright green light gushed out of the Bone Treasure Sword like flowing water, quickly drenching the watchtower from top to bottom.

For a moment, the watchtower seemed to come alive.

Several cracks appeared on its surface, absorbing the green light as they opened and closed.

Several thick bone cannons protruded from the cracks, emitting a ghastly green light from the muzzle as they quickly accumulated the energy needed to fire shells.

Lieutenant Slyke Thompson immediately noticed the anomaly at the top of the watchtower and quickly shouted:

“Group 1, intercept the Necromancer turret! Cover me!”

The Shield Giant used his hands to support himself on the ton of the wall. leant

onto the wall, and raised his shield to block the Necromancer turret.

Sharp, baby-like cries echoed as green light flickered on top of the watchtower. The Necromancer turret shot out dark green energy beams, hitting the Bone Shield held by the Shield Giant.

Green “water splashes” burst out as the green energy beams collided with the shield surface.

Anything splashed by the green “water splashes” quickly dissolved in the smell of rotting, thick black smoke.

The Shield Giant roared in pain, his body swaying as he stood on the wall and barely maintained his balance on the structure of the outpost.

The Bone Shield in their hands was bluntly reduced by half by the green energy beams, almost being pierced by them!

“Mars, Jarvis, brace yourselves! I’m going to jump over the wall! You two need to be quick! The power of the Necromancer turret is not to be underestimated! Even I can only take five consecutive shots!”

Lieutenant Slyke Thompson leaped forward and jumped over the wall, landing steadily on the street within the outpost.

The Skeleton Colossus was already being dragged outside the city by the Ranger Giant. The two fought each other, having no time to care about Sub-Lieutenant Slyke Thompson within the city.

The Necromancer turret was blocked by the Shield Giant. And the War Spirit standing on top of the watchtower was suppressed by the Cannonball Giant’s cannon fire.

The War Spirits had no time to summon new Skeleton Colossi and Necromancer turrets, and could only struggle to call upon the power of the Magic Protective Cover to resist the Empire’s barrage..
