Passing through the gates of Lake Town, Yun You and his companion saw the bewildered residents of Lake Town, and the mayor, Chen Nuo, slumped on the ground with a face like dead ashes.

"What do you plan to do with this guy? Kill him? Or take him to Mokaka for disposal?"

Yun You looked at Tian En and casually asked.

Chen Nuo's actions were undoubtedly a betrayal of both Mokaka and Tian En.

With Yun You's personality, he would undoubtedly have killed him directly after asking the reason.

But now, after all, it was Tian En who had suffered, and although Yun You was with her, in such personal matters, the little girl preferred to respect the opinion of the concerned party.

"Forget it."

Tian En thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Even though I'm angry, killing him here might affect Lord Mokaka's reputation, making people think we're a group bloodthirsty by nature... In this way, it would take much more effort for Lord Mokaka to subdue them in the future."

"Moreover, we don't need to lift a finger."

The girl turned back, using Lake Town's vantage point to gaze at the road on the other side of Corpse Lake.

There, amidst the rising and falling hills, faint black smoke could be seen, with clouds of dust stirred by some giant object, slowly advancing towards Lake Town.

Presumably, that should be the War Gang reinforcements called by Chen Nuo.

"After today, Lake Town will cease to exist, and this mayor will meet his deserved end."

Tian En turned around and walked back to Yun You's side.

"Let's go."

As soon as these words were said, Yun You immediately understood Tian En's intentions.

The gangs in Nest City were reluctant to engage in any unprofitable business, let alone the resource-scarce Floating Island War Gangs.

They gave a large sum of money to Chen Nuo and Lake Town and went through significant trouble deploying troops, with the purpose of besieging Mokaka's important subordinate, Tian En.

And now that Tian En had escaped, they naturally wouldn't let it rest.

These war gangs would a hundred percent vent their anger on Lake Town because the town had already lost its survival lifeline, the massive main gate, making it incredibly easy to conquer and plunder.

In this context, as the lord of Lake Town, Chen Nuo would either die or be forced to surrender, transforming from a high-ranking leader to a humble slave.

Either outcome would be an extremely severe punishment for Chen Nuo.

"Seems like you're not just a naive innocent."

Yun You grinned and casually remarked, "This way, your revenge can be taken without bringing any negative impact on Mokaka's forces."

"However, the war gangs may plunder Lake Town, killing a few standout figures, which in turn would make the residents loathe the war gangs... if Mokaka plans to take over in the future, she'd likely reduce many losses, and it might even be possible to win without a fight."

"Your grasp of people's minds is no weaker."

Hearing Yun You's praise, Tian En was slightly taken aback and then humbly replied, "It's all because Lord Mokaka taught me well, I was merely reciting what I learned."

"Why do you always mention Mokaka, can't you talk about someone else..."

Yun You sighed and couldn't help teasing.

"No way, Lord Mokaka is the only one worthy of my worship in this world."

The girl lifted her head proudly.

"Alright, alright..."

Yun You shook his head helplessly and quickly shifted the topic, preventing Tian En from recounting several hours' worth of Mokaka's glorious deeds in his ear.

Watching the two departing figures, the residents of Lake Town remained stunned, still shocked and speechless, staring blankly at the ruins of the gate.

Only Chen Nuo, slumped on the ground, realized one thing after coming to his senses.

This stable Floating Island of more than a decade seemed on the brink of a significant change.

...

About half an hour later, a mighty troop appeared at the entrance of Corpse Lake.

Leading the charge was the "Magic Mountain War Gang" from the beach area.

They numbered about just over 200, all dressed in black spiked motorcycle jackets, wearing sunglasses, sporting radiant Mohawk hairstyles, and wielding various guns and artillery.

The leader of the War Gang, "Fat Brother," sat in the middle of the mobile sofa in the troop, enjoying fruits and grilled meat handed by nearby servants.

In the beach area, abundant tropical fruits and additional marine resources made the region extremely wealthy, allowing for the exchange of expensive fruits and fish for steel and electronic parts.

As the ruler of the region, the Magic Mountain War Gang ensured every person had a firearm, with pockets full of grenades.

Even though these weapons were hand-made in small workshops and were far less powerful than standard munitions from Nest Capital Enterprises, they were more than efficient against equally impoverished Floating Island War Gangs.

Following the Magic Mountain War Gang, the factory area's ruler—the Casablanca Battle Gang also made their appearance.

Their number was far smaller than the Magic Mountain War Gang, just over 50, but they possessed enviable tools—various "scrap vehicles."

These included "Gremlin Motorcycles" cobbled together from bones and can lids; "Armored Wheel Vehicles" made by stacking containers and hammering them into oval shapes; "Giant Bruiser Tanks" crudely assembled with toner and rolled steel plates...

And most ridiculously, a super vehicle made by adding all the above materials, multiplied tenfold—the "Garbage Mountain Cannon."

Forty meters long, twenty meters high, steam-driven caterpillar tracks at the bottom, and a terrifying 800mm caliber cannon on top.

The Garbage Mountain Cannon could fire several tons of heavy shells, its power capable of leveling a soccer field.

Of course, on Floating Island, several tons of iron blocks were hard to come by, so the Garbage Mountain Cannon could fire anything that fits into its barrel.

Trees, corpse masses, bones, even household waste could all be used as shells, and they were quite powerful...

The operator of the cannon was Casablanca, the leader of the war gang, located in its cockpit.

This was an emaciated old man, rumored to be an Apprentice Death God.

However, no one on Floating Island had seen him fight in person; it was said that age had slowed him down, leaving him to combat enemies from the safety of the cockpit.

In a brawl, Casablanca Battle Gang couldn't compare to Magic Mountain War Gang, but in siege operations, they were unparalleled, never retreating except when faced with the massive gate of Lake Town.

Deploying the cannon, Casablanca indeed spared no expense.

He only wanted to capture Tian En and use the girl to threaten Mokaka.

According to his and Fat Brother's plans, by now, Tian En should be trapped under the Lake Town walls.

However, as they slowly drew closer to Lake Town, the thugs from both war gangs suddenly realized...

That gate, the seemingly impregnable gate to them...

Had vanished into thin air.
