Chapter 61 Saturation Bombardment

The entire bombardment lasted nearly fifteen minutes. By the time the saturation attack ended, the area was littered with groaning, half-dead personnel.

Large numbers of tanks and mecha were destroyed.

Canris stood up, covered in dust, and smashed his pipe hard against the ground.

"Damn it!"

A constant walker by the river is bound to get his shoes wet. Canris, who was best at saturation strikes, also tasted a wave of baptism. Fortunately, Xiao Wen's firepower wasn't too outrageous, otherwise Canris might really have fallen here.

The adjutant next to him quickly advised, "Lord Canris, it's too dangerous here. Why don't you retreat back to the ship? No, no, the ship isn't safe enough. How about retreating to the other side?"

"It's just a support force, what's there to be so afraid of!"

"Yes, yes..."

"Since I can't land, then I'll take Wushi Fortress City first. Order the air force squadron to continue air-dropping personnel into Wushi Fortress City. I'll wear down those two Tier 3 mecha. If their main force dares to enter Wushi Fortress City, then we'll wipe them out in one wave."

"Understood!"

...

--------------------------------------------------

Inside the Tianlong Guild's temporary command center, Li Ruiqi's face was ashen.

Just a short while ago, the latest intelligence came from offline, stating that the 18th Legion, responsible for guarding the Sky Canal defense zone, was completely wiped out by a super-scale saturation attack. Even the legion commander, Liu Chenggao, was killed in action.

At the same time, Wushi City was also subjected to a saturation attack, and the 14th Legion guarding it was almost completely annihilated. The situation wasn't much better. Although there were still some surviving personnel resisting, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

What was worse was that the reinforcements drawn from the 12th Legion were also affected on the way.

He didn't know what to say. This was a losing game.

On the map in front of Li Ruiqi, large patches of red markers indicated that the Tianlong Guild was about to be encircled.

"Does anyone have any suggestions for the current situation?"

Everyone remained silent. The main battlefield was being fought even more fiercely, and it was impossible to spare any troops at all. And even if they were spared, they would be too late to help.

"Vice President, we can only abandon our established plan and adjust to a turtle-shell defense."

"No matter how hard the shell is, it will be broken sooner or later."

Li Ruiqi sighed deeply. He was also in a dilemma now. But he didn't blame the people below. After all, in this battle, they were facing too many enemies. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands.

The atmosphere in the command room became even heavier, and everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.

At this moment, a subordinate rushed in!

"Report! Latest battle situation!"

"Speak!"

"The 16th Legion Commander, Xiao Wen, due to being intercepted by the enemy while heading north, changed his marching route and rushed to Wushi Fortress City. He then garrisoned outside Wushi Fortress City and launched a saturation attack on the fallen Sky Canal defense zone, inflicting considerable damage on the enemy. At the same time, he sent troops into Wushi City to engage in contact warfare with the enemy's air-dropped troops."

"Now Wushi Fortress City has become a battle center and a contested zone."

"Good, well done! Old Xiao is really full of surprises!"

Hearing the report, everyone present cheered.

"By the way, I heard that Legion Commander Xiao Wen also specially invited outside help, including two Tier 3 mecha, who recently killed General Kevin."

"Awesome."

...

After listening, Li Ruiqi breathed a sigh of relief. This news came just in time, but he still said in a deep voice.

"Don't be too happy too soon. The united forces heading south and the Wet God Guild's forces will soon head north. At that time, Xiao Wen will also be attacked from both sides, and the stalemate will still be broken. There isn't much time left for Xiao Wen."

"What should we do then?"

"I don't have a good solution either. Send an order to Xiao Wen, authorizing him to act freely!"

Li Ruiqi couldn't care less. Now he could only treat a dead horse as if it were still alive and delegate the decision-making power to Xiao Wen.

"But Vice President, Xiao Wen still has the strategic offensive weapon in his hands! Aren't you just letting them use it? What about us?"

"It's not just this force that's transporting strategic weapons. If you're short of one weapon, find a way yourself. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

........

Wushi Fortress City, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue acted separately. He alone piloted the mecha, wandering in the ruined city, looking for traces of the enemy.

Those Freedom Victory Guild players who were air-dropped in, seeing Su Mo, scattered and ran like mice seeing a cat.

Of course, Su Mo adhered to the principle of not missing or letting go of anything. He killed anyone he saw, not minding the trouble.

The only trouble was that warplanes would roar through the sky from time to time, and one missile after another would shoot down from the sky.

Su Mo could only wave his lightsaber to split the missiles. Although most of the impact force was blocked by the lightsaber, the explosion would still affect the mecha to some extent.

A small number wasn't a problem, but with a large number, he couldn't handle it.

Losing air superiority was really disgusting.

Just when Su Mo was feeling irritable, the sky suddenly darkened. He subconsciously looked up.

He saw a sky full of transport planes appearing over Wushi Fortress, followed by different types of mecha and containers being thrown down.

"They're rich!"

Su Mo said silently. The biggest feeling from fighting the Freedom Victory Guild was that these people were extraordinarily wealthy.

Su Mo's head also hurt. Even if these thrown-down mecha didn't have much combat power, the sheer number of them was disgusting.

At this moment, Chen Shan's voice sounded in the communicator.

"Brothers, we've come to support you."

"Why are you here?"

"Don't worry, we didn't bring many, just a hundred mecha! We'll help you stop some of the small fries, so they can't surround you. We'll just wear them down like this, and they won't dare to launch saturation attacks indiscriminately."

Chen Shan explained to Su Mo.

"Alright, although it's not a great method, at least it'll make it easier to move around for the time being. Stabilize the situation temporarily, then think of a way to deal with it."

Su Mo immediately understood Xiao Wen's intention. He had to say, Xiao Wen's command was pretty good.

"That's exactly what I mean!"

"Then let's go!"

Su Mo was full of energy.

At this time, Katu, who was piloting a mecha and dodging Qian Chengxue's pursuit, frowned as he watched the air force support falling from the sky.

In his eyes, Canris's command was not clever and underestimated the opponent too much.

If it were him, he would definitely launch another round of firepower baptism at all costs to leave those two Tier 3 mecha here.

Instead of stupidly continuing to air-drop people down, hoping that these people could take down those two Tier 3 mecha?

It wasn't realistic at all, and it would only make his saturation attacks timid.

At this time, the voices of other surviving team members sounded in the communication channel.

"Captain, what should we do now? The higher-ups have issued a direct order, ordering us to surround and kill the Tier 3 mecha."

"Pass on my order, gather the personnel, and prepare for a suicide attack."

Katu had no choice. The orders issued by the higher-ups were inviolable, even if that order was to send you to your death.
