Lin Xu wasn't opposed to becoming a villain.
As long as he doesn't die in the end, it doesn't matter if he's an evil villain.
After all, in many stories these days, the villains are the ultimate winners and may not necessarily be killed by the righteous people.
Such thoughts flashed through Lin Xu's mind and then disappeared.
Lin Xu quickly focused his attention on the task at hand.
The place Tao Yao was referring to was the castle on Knight Island.
There are still enemies there, which means there are still Knight Wang En's arrangements there.
After looking at the castle, Lin Xu nodded.
Indeed, if this knight Wang En were to encounter a normal opponent, this castle would definitely become Wang En's last line of defense. Perhaps there are even some traps and mechanisms set up inside, just to harm the enemies who come to attack the island.
But now that Wang En has run away, the guards at the castle must be in despair, right?
Time was of the essence, and Lin Xu had no intention of playing any tricks with the people in the castle to persuade them to surrender. He waved his hand at Tao Yao:
"Let's wipe out the people in the castle and take over this island as quickly as possible!"
"Okay!"
Tao Yao responded cutely and then summoned a giant peach with both hands.
She planned to blow all the villains in the castle to pieces, doing everything she could to help her master achieve his goal.
Lin Xu, also gripping a longsword and a boomerang, quickly approached the castle.
Da da da da!
Just as Lin Xu was about 300 meters away from the castle, the sound of machine gun fire suddenly came from ahead.
Lin Xu instinctively moved to the side, but the bullet still grazed past his feet, following him as he moved, almost turning one of his legs into a sieve.
Although this injury was nothing to Lin Xu, and he could probably recover in a breath, the pain was real, and Lin Xu didn't want to suffer this pain for nothing.
He had already hidden behind a large tree, looking ahead.
The shooting had just taken place inside the castle, and from this angle, Lin Xu could get a general idea of the castle's condition.
There are at least five machine gun muzzles on it, at different heights, working together to guard various angles.
The castle is built on one end of the island, and this location is a necessary passage if an attack is launched from the island.
"They're incredibly resilient!"
Lin Xu sighed.
Wang En has now run so far that only a small figure remains, but the slave warriors on the island are still resisting so desperately.
This is also a characteristic of slave warriors, because the contracts they sign are extremely harsh, and the consequences of breaking them are sometimes more severe than death.
Therefore, slave warriors who have signed such contracts of servitude have no choice but to fight for their masters with everything they have.
Lin Xu had no sympathy for these slave warriors.
On the contrary, these people are such a nuisance now, so they will definitely have to be dealt with later to avoid any accidents.
Thinking this, Lin Xu darted away from behind the tree and threw out a boomerang.
He possesses immense strength now; if he were to unleash his full power, he could easily throw a boomerang 300 meters.
However, this method of throwing cannot guarantee the angle and trajectory of the boomerang. If the boomerang does not have the property of automatically returning, the weapon will definitely fly away and will not be able to return to your hand.
But Lin Xu dared to do this because he was certain that the boomerang would return.
After all, this weapon has such a magical property, it would be a waste not to make good use of it.
The boomerang flew rapidly over a distance of three hundred meters and pierced straight into the head of a slave operating a machine gun.
The slave's head split open in two, spewing out a lot of red and white liquid.
Lin Xu's boomerang continued flying forward, piercing through a wooden stake in the castle and embedding itself in the stone wall.
The next moment, Lin Xu focused his mind slightly and stretched out his left hand.
As if summoned, the boomerang in the distance trembled, then suddenly emerged from the crack in the rock, flew quickly over the machine gun platform, and flew back into Lin Xu's hand.
While Lin Xu waited for the boomerang to return, the machine gunners in other positions finally pinpointed his location and opened fire again.
This time, the machine gun fire was particularly persistent. Lin Xu dodged and charged around, but even as he passed behind a large tree, the machine guns continued to fire, riddling the tree with holes.
Lin Xu glanced at the horrific state of the trees behind him and thought to himself that these trees were probably planted here to mislead the enemy.
The machine gun is powerful enough to pierce through a tree. If someone were to use a tree as cover, they would most likely be killed instantly.
But the reason he was able to hide behind the tree for a moment was because he moved too quickly.
The machine guns weren't accurate enough, and the bullets kicked up too much dust when they hit the ground, which gave him cover and prevented the machine gunners from finding him for a while.
But now, those machine gunners should understand that Lin Xu is strong enough to kill them from a distance, and these combat slaves will definitely not dare to give Lin Xu another chance to attack.
So even though the machine guns were now kicking up dust again, making it impossible to see where Lin Xu was hiding, the machine gunners continued firing, determined not to give Lin Xu a chance to make a move.
Lin Xu ran wildly, bullets whizzing past him from time to time.
He was even struck once in the right hand, causing the longsword to bend slightly.
He felt that the reason he hadn't been hit by a bullet after running for so long was either because he was fast enough or because he was very lucky.
Of course, another reason is that those slave warriors were too weak; their eyes and bodies couldn't keep up with his movements.
Lin Xu thought to himself that his attack methods were still acceptable, but his defensive capabilities were indeed somewhat lacking.
Facing such modern firearms, relying solely on physical abilities to dodge is too passive.
After that, it would be best to get a shield that can withstand the power of firearms, or an ability that can ignore the lethality of guns.
While he was thinking like this, he did not overlook the battlefield.
At that moment, he glanced at the sky, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Sure enough, as he took the initiative to attack the machine gunners, a slender and graceful figure had already bypassed the machine gunners' blind spots and arrived above the castle.
The next moment, an explosion suddenly came from the castle.
Lin Xu's eyes lit up:
"Tao Yao has indeed arrived!"
Although he hadn't discussed tactics with Tao Yao, Tao Yao was, after all, the spirit he had personally nurtured.
It's no problem for the two of them to say that they are of one mind.
So when Lin Xu was holding off those machine gunners, Tao Yao already understood Lin Xu's purpose. This elf decisively seized the opportunity and approached those firing positions from above.
Now the sound of peach bombs can be heard; Tao Yao has found the angle to shoot the peaches.
The two machine gun ports that posed the greatest threat were destroyed, and the combat slaves inside were completely reduced to fragments.
The machine gun fire weakened considerably, and Lin Xu seized the opportunity to rush out of the smoke and dust, throwing his boomerang again.
Another machine gunner had his neck severed.
Tao Yao's bombs were released again, and before the machine gunners could react, they had been taken care of.
Apart from the floating machine guns and floating shields above the castle, the entire castle's defenses were completely dismantled.
Even with the intense fighting, those floating devices simply drifted aimlessly around the castle, making no offensive or defensive moves.
After all, human technology is not yet advanced enough to create sophisticated artificial intelligence, and these floating weapons are machines that require operators and commanders to operate.
Wang En obviously didn't have a chance to activate these floating devices before he escaped, so they were just for show.
After confirming that the floating weapons posed no threat, Lin Xu began to look around, searching for any other living combat slaves.
But the next moment, he received a hint:
[All the defenders on Island Lord Wang En's island have been wiped out.]
[Island Master Lin Xu, you have successfully conquered Island Master Wang En's island. You may now choose one-tenth of the island's blocks as loot.]
[Island owner Wang En lost his island and became an exiled island owner.]
If Wang En fails to find a new island within 15 days, he will completely lose his status as island owner and his novice trial will be terminated.
