310: Chapter 310: Timely (Additional chapter for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Third Update) 310: Chapter 310: Timely (Additional chapter for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Third Update) The saturation bombing lasted nearly fifteen minutes, and when the intense attack had ended, the ground was strewn with people writhing in agony, half-dead.
Numerous tanks and Mechas were destroyed.
Kanris, covered in dirt, stood up and fiercely smashed his pipe on the ground.
As the saying goes, you can’t hang around the river without getting your shoes wet, and Kanris, usually adept at saturation strikes, also got a taste of his own medicine.
Fortunately, Xiao Wen’s firepower wasn’t as exaggerated; otherwise, Kanris might have really fallen here.
His aide swiftly urged, “Lord Kanris, it’s too dangerous here.
Why don’t you retreat to the ship?
No, no, the ship isn’t safe either. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fire·net
How about retreating to the other side?”
“It’s just a support force, are you really that scared!”
“Since I can’t land, I will first take down Wushi Fortress City.
Command the air forces to continue parachuting troops into Wushi Fortress City; kill those two third-generation Mechas for me.
If their main force dares to enter Wushi Fortress City, then wipe them out in one swoop.”
Inside the Sky Dragon Guild’s temporary command center, Li Ruiqi’s face was ashen.
Just recently, the latest intelligence came offline that the 18th Legion, responsible for guarding the Skyline Canal defense zone, was completely wiped out in a massive saturation attack, even the Legion Leader Liu Chenggao had sacrificed.
Similarly, Wushi City also suffered from a saturation attack.
The 14th Legion, stationed there, was almost entirely annihilated, and their situation wasn’t much better.
Although some survivors were still resisting, they were not expected to hold out for long.
The worst part was that the troops drawn from the 12th Legion to reinforce were also affected on the way.
He did not even know what to say now; they were losing.
The map in front of Li Ruiqi was covered with red marks, indicating that the Sky Dragon Guild was about to be encircled.
“Who among you has any suggestions about the current situation?”
Everyone present remained silent, the main battlefield was getting fiercer; they simply could not pull any troops from there.
Even if they could, it would be too late by the time they arrived.
“Vice President, we can only abandon our original plan and shift to defensive contraction.”
“No matter how hard the shell, it will eventually be cracked.”
Li Ruiqi sighed deeply, finding himself in a difficult situation.
Still, he did not blame his subordinates, as in this battle, they were heavily outnumbered.
There was a saying, after all, that two hands struggle to fend off four.
The atmosphere in the command room grew even heavier; everyone inevitably bowed their heads.
At that moment, a subordinate rushed in!
The latest update on the battle situation!”
Commander Xiao Wen, because of being intercepted while heading north, changed his marching route and hurried to Wushi Fortress City, stationing forces in the outskirts of the city, and launched a saturation attack on the fallen Skyline Canal defense zone, causing significant damage to the enemy.
Simultaneously, he dispatched troops into Wushi City to engage in a contact battle with the enemy’s paratroopers.
Now, Wushi Fortress City has become the central point of conflict, turning into a contested area.
Old Xiao really knows how to surprise us!”
Upon hearing the report, everybody in the room cheered in approval.
“Moreover, I heard that Commander Xiao Wen specifically called in external support, including two third-generation Mechas that recently took down General Kevin.”
After hearing everything, Li Ruiqi exhaled a long breath; the news had come just in time.
However, he still said somberly,
“Don’t celebrate too soon.
The southbound Joint Forces and the Wet God Guild’s troops will soon head north.
Soon, Xiao Wen will also face enemies on both sides, and the stalemate will be broken.
Xiao Wen doesn’t have much time left.”
“Then what should we do?”
“I don’t have a good solution either.
Send orders to Xiao Wen, allow him to act freely!”
Li Ruiqi had no other choice now.
It was time to make the best of a bad situation and delegate decision-making power to Xiao Wen.
“But Vice-President, Xiao Wen still has strategic offensive weapons in his hand!
Aren’t you basically allowing them to use it?
What will we do on our side?”
“We have more than one supply of strategic weapons left.
Find a solution for the missing ones.
In desperate times, desperate measures are warranted.”
In Wushi Fortress City, Su Mo and Cheng Xue split up.
He moved alone, piloting his mecha through the ruins of the city, searching for enemy traces.
The players from the Freedom Victory Guild who were air-dropped into the area, upon seeing Su Mo, ran away as mice would from a cat.
Of course, Su Mo adhered to the principle of never letting an opportunity pass by.
Whenever he saw one, he killed one, and it wasn’t too much trouble for him.
The real trouble was the fighter jets that would frequently soar through the sky, launching missile after missile down.
Su Mo could only swing his beam saber to explode the missiles.
Although most of the impact was blocked by the beam saber, the explosions still affected his mecha to some extent.
A few weren’t a problem, but when the numbers increased, he became a bit overwhelmed.
Losing air superiority was truly displeasing.
At that moment of irk from Su Mo, suddenly, the sky darkened.
He instinctively looked up.
Giant transport planes appeared above Wushi Fortress, followed by different models of mechas and containers being dropped down.
Su Mo muttered to himself.
His biggest impression battling the Freedom Victory Guild was that these people were exceptionally extravagant.
Su Mo felt a headache brewing.
Even if these dropped mechas weren’t very strong in combat, their overwhelming numbers were irksome.
It was then that the voice of Chen Shan came through the communicator.
“Brother, we are here to support you.”
“How did you guys get here?”
“Don’t worry, we didn’t bring much, just a hundred mechas!
We’ll help you block some of the riffraff, prevent them from surrounding you, we’ll just wear them out .
They wouldn’t dare to strike indiscriminately.”
Chen Shan explained to Su Mo.
“Alright, even though it’s not the best method, at least it works.
Let’s stabilize the situation for now and then think of a way to counter them.”
Su Mo immediately understood Xiao Wen’s intention.
He couldn’t deny that Xiao Wen’s command was actually pretty good.
“Exactly, that’s the plan!”
Su Mo was filled with energy.
At that moment, Katu, who was piloting his mecha and trying to evade Cheng Xue’s pursuit, looked up at the sky with tightened brows as the aerial support descended.
In his eyes, Kanris’s command was not wise; he severely underestimated the opponent.
If it were him, he would have spared no expense for another round of fire barrages to ensure those two third-generation mechas stayed here.
Instead of stupidly air-dropping more troops, hoping that these people could take down those two third-generation mechas?
It was totally unrealistic and would only make one hesitant to strike fully.
At this moment, other surviving team members’ voices came through the communication channel.
“Captain, what should we do now?
We’ve received direct orders to surround and destroy the third-generation mechas.”
“Forward my command, gather the personnel, prepare for a kamikaze attack.”
Katu had no choice; the command from above was not to be defied, even if that order was sending them to their deaths.
