When the light shield of the city defense array was shattered and vaporized by liquid nitrogen, it basically announced that the suspense of this battle was lost.

The Mo Family left a total of seven high-level Qi Cultivation cultivators in the city to guard it, among whom five rushed to the city wall upon learning of the enemy's attack.

Therefore, only two high-level Qi Cultivators remained in the Mo Family Manor along with some other low-realm clansmen.

Today, the Wei Mansion, in addition to Wei Shudu and Wei Fan, also dispatched two Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivators, a pair of biological brothers from the same branch, named Wei Stone and Wei Yan.

The elder brother Wei Stone's cultivation was slightly higher, and he had hope of breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer within three years—of course, with the arrival of the "Rabbits", this speed would be greatly increased.

After breaking the light shield, the Rock Brothers and the two WZ-10 helicopters chose not to remain on the battlefield at the city wall, but instead charged towards the Mo Family Manor.

This was a tactical decision previously set by the "Rabbits", who intended to take this opportunity to create a time difference.

Without using the Z-8 transport helicopters for an airdrop, a decapitation raid became particularly important.

The Mo Family Manor was some distance from the city wall, and since the "Rabbits" used machine gun bursts instead of firepower coverage, there wasn't the kind of explosion sound that could spread for miles across the battlefield.

Therefore, the main house was unlikely to have a direct understanding of the battle situation in a short time, or to sense any obvious anomalies.

Moreover, the high-ranking Qi Cultivators guarding stayed confident about the existence of the third-order city defense array, naturally remaining calm and not wasting resources by activating the manor's array prematurely.

This gave the "Rabbits" a chance to execute a lightning war.

In fact, just as the "Rabbits" anticipated, when the Rock Brothers and two WZ-10 helicopters approached the Mo Family Manor, the two cultivators left behind, Mo Shoucai and Mo Qiaoxi, were enjoying a leisurely tea at three o'clock in the courtyard.

In truth, the Mo Family did have an array that allowed them to observe the battlefield at the city wall, but the long-standing peace and reliance on the city defense array made them lose this vigilance—one might say a certain greed was amplified.

After all, activating the array consumes Spirit Stones, and knowing that the opponents had only one airborne cultivator, didn't it seem better to secretly squirrel away the Spirit Stones meant for activating the array?

This scenario was also common locally, especially eighty or ninety years ago.

There's really nothing you can do when logistics meet incompetent comrades.

Mo Shoucai and Mo Qiaoxi continued drinking tea until the roar of the WZ-10 helicopters reached their ears, snapping them back to reality.

However, by then it was already too late.

Considering the extreme importance of the decapitation plan, the "Rabbits" provided the Rock Brothers with highly sophisticated equipment, even multiple Tier Two Sword Qi Talismans—which could kill Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Facing the reckless move of launching a Tier Two Sword Qi Talisman right at them, Mo Shoucai and Mo Qiaoxi were practically instantaneously killed, without even the chance to activate the killing array.

Once the tough targets were cleared, the remaining lesser figures were much simpler to deal with.

Some Mo Clan members still chose to make a desperate resistance, while others began to scatter in escape.

The Rock Brothers and the WZ-10 helicopters didn't concern themselves with capturing the fleeing Mo Clan members, as they only had six people, making it too difficult to take prisoners.

According to the command center's plan, those fleeing Mo Clan members would be dealt with by the follow-up main forces.

After several high-level Qi Cultivators were killed or captured, the remaining Mo Clan members had limited cultivation, and with the assistance of the warriors' trios and spiritual energy shields, capturing them was hardly an issue, much easier compared to the previous Xiaolianzi Mountain campaign.

Aside from those who resisted and fled, some chose to surrender.

The majority of this group were side branches or affiliates of the Mo Family who had a slight confidence in their own value.

Of course, speaking of side branches, in the Mo Family, a lineage with a 200-year history, some of these side branches had little connection to the main lineage.

Seeing the Rock Brothers casually throwing Tier Two Sword Qi Talismans at Qi Cultivation Seventh and Eighth Layer cultivators, these people could easily guess that Mo Lisen and the others were probably gone.

No matter how the opponent obtained such strong combat power, the fact was the fact.

Faced with such formidable opponents, surrender became an understandable choice.

After all, survival rules in the Damo Realm were much more brutal and savage compared to the local land, and switching allegiance wasn't unheard of.

For the vast majority of victors, if the value of those who surrendered was high enough, selectively ignoring their past misdeeds was hardly significant.

Didn't someone from local history do this as well back in the day?

For example, mentioned earlier, more than forty years ago, the Mo Family annexed another city, during which they absorbed many such people.

Interestingly, among the people surrendering now, part of them were from those who surrendered back then.

For this group, surrender was taken for granted, joining the stronger side made perfect sense.

Soon after the decapitation plan began, Longxing River arrived at the scene with the main forces.

A distance of two or three kilometers was almost an instant for infantry fighting vehicles, and as they reached the city gate, Wei Fan had just finished sedating Mo Daolin.

"Long Brigade Commander, we've pretty much got the city wall under control here."

Meeting with Longxing River, Wei Fan handed him a palm-sized disc:

"This is the core of the Sheepback City defense array, but since it hasn't been refined yet, we can only temporarily shut it down."

Longxing River smiled and nodded, saying to him:

"Clan Leader Wei, thank you for your hard work, please keep this core for now, maybe it will continue to protect Sheepback City in the future."

He then briefly surveyed the city wall, which was currently divided into three parts:

The first part is the fallen guards. Due to the mode of fire from the WZ-10 being set to burst, these over ten casualties were all wearing the uniforms of the Mo Clan members.

The second part consists of captured Mo Clan cultivators, some still conscious, while others like Mo Daolin remained in a coma.

The third part is the original soldiers of the city, most of whom had no cultivation, with a few at the first-layer Qi cultivation.

These people were strictly controlled at a section of the city wall, with warriors under Longxing River arranging their handovers.

The only regret is that the rabbits' Z-8 is not yet assembled, otherwise the rabbits could initiate a true surprise attack in Sheepback City.

"Beep beep beep—"

At this moment, the voice of WZ-10 pilot Zhou Jianping came through Longxing River's intercom:

"Report, two high-level Qi cultivation practitioners in the Mo Family Manor have been completely eliminated, currently some Mo Clan vassals have chosen to surrender, and about hundreds of clan members have escaped from the manor!

The current altitude of my aircraft is 600 meters from the ground, and the onboard equipment has recorded and compiled most escape routes, but due to visibility issues, the routes are of only short-term reference value. Ground troops, please begin capturing quickly.

Additionally, the movement of non-ground targets is currently unknown, report complete!"

"Copy that, my unit has entered the city, the search and capture plan will commence immediately!"

After cutting the communication, Longxing River turned and said to Deng Feng beside him:

"Battalion Commander Deng, proceed as planned, make it quick and decisive!"

Deng Feng saluted him:

"Copy that, I guarantee the task will be completed!"

Moments later, two infantry companies rushed directly to the Mo Family Manor—by this time, a period had passed since the battle began, and every household in the city had long closed their doors, streets were deserted, and driving was unhindered.

Another infantry company moved towards two small families within the city. These two families didn't have many cultivators but had always committed all manner of evil by relying on their familial ties with the Mo Clan.

About half an hour later, Deng Feng reported:

The soldiers had controlled the Mo Family Manor; several killing arrays were also in their grasp, performing searches throughout the manor in a three-three formation!

Additionally, about two hundred Mo Clan members escaped before the main army arrived.

Some fled outside the city, while others hid inside the city, with multiple squads already carrying out captures of fleeing Mo Clan members.

Meanwhile.

Lin Ziming and others, having taken an AC311A, also arrived in the city, handing over Mo Lisen and other true high-ranking Mo Clan captives to Longxing River.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Many Wei Mansion cultivators and two AC311As took off from the city wall, flying around the city with loudspeakers broadcasting announcements recorded in Damo language:

"Greetings to the residents of Sheepback City, we are from Chixian City Wei Mansion, I am Wei Fan, the current clan leader of Wei Mansion.

Recently, Mo Clan Patriarch Mo Lisen coveted our city's resources and proactively assaulted our city; now, along with other Mo Clan Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, they have been completely captured by our city!

Mo Clan established the city for 217 years, committing unending brutalities, freely exploiting and even slaughtering innocent civilians. Now, our city upholds justice from heaven, there is no need for the residents to panic.

Our Wei Mansion is renowned; you all must have heard of us—we will not disturb any family for no reason!

Now, the Mo Family Manor is breached, the principal offenders captured, but a few Mo Clan members have escaped into the city, potentially endangering the residents' safety.

Therefore, everyone should be vigilant, if you have any clues, please contact us at the east of the city, informants can receive up to ten thousand copper coins!

Additionally, if there are city residents who were harassed, humiliated or even harmed by the Mo Clan, you may also register complaints at the east of the city, and we will ensure justice is served for everyone!

Currently, a total of twenty-four high-ranking Mo Clan members, including Mo Lisen, are detained outside the Mo Family Manor; questioning residents can come to verify with their own eyes!

We will conduct a public trial of these criminals at the Sheepback City market entrance thirty-six hours later!"

The area of Sheepback City is not large, only slightly over a tenth larger than Chixian City.

With seven cultivators and two helicopters circling repeatedly, almost all residents, if not 100%, at least over 95% had received the message.

In this way, about two to three quarters of an hour passed.

Outside the Mo Family Manor, several sneaky and spying figures appeared.

These figures carefully observed Mo Lisen and others for a long time, disappearing with a whoosh the moment soldiers looked their way.

Later, some daring silver merchants came to the south of the city, verifying the Wei Mansion crest and the identity of Clan Leader Wei Fan.

About a quarter of an hour later, somewhere in the city, faint firecracker sounds suddenly erupted.

Then the sound grew louder and more widespread...

Gradually the entire city boiled over.

Many people ran to spread the news, some wept for joy, believing they had expected a long-desired light.

However, unbeknownst to them, the light they anticipated and the actual light illuminating the city differed starkly, much like the crackling fire of firecrackers compared to the....

sun.
