YM778.TV Chapter 908: 15th Day of Bloodshed!
When the 2 leaders of the rebel faction died, the rest of the soldiers also quickly surrendered. Those troublemakers who seized the opportunity to cause problems were gunned down and executed without mercy.
From the perspective of following orders, these Mech-Fighters were unrivaled, carrying out orders to a tee.
They had no fear and only sought to complete their orders, making them the best soldiers and cannon fodder.
A long time ago, these Mech-Fighters had appeared on the battlefield of Cloud Region. However, they had not met a powerful A.I. like Bai Yi to help control them.
At the same time, there was an obvious flaw in them, that was the fact that their fighting style and strength were rigid. No matter how much they fought, they would not grow nor become stronger. Other than that, there were other weak points as well.
A single electromagnetic pulse bomb could cause thousands of such Mech-Fighters to be crippled, thus, the human soldiers could not be totally exempt from battle.
Yue Zhong took big strides into the middle of the city, behind him were 20 warriors in Type 4 Battle Suits.
Along the way, the soldiers within the city were on either side of him, staring at Yue Zhong, their hearts full of uncertainty.
Yue Zhong came up to Lin Xuan and asked indifferently, "I heard you were the first to fight back? What’s your name?"
Lin Xuan looked at Yue Zhong uneasily and replied, "Replying to Sir, my name is Lin Xuan."
Yue Zhong’s eyes flashed with appreciation, "Very good! You did well. I will confer you to be a youth commander. Go select 500 men to be your subordinates, and go take down the other rebel cities."
"500?"
Lin Xuan’s face changed, his body trembling, his face ash-like.
The Fire Tooth City was the city where most of the rebels had gathered, with over 70% of the elites gathered. However, there were other rebel factions in other locations, and while they might be riff-raff, their numbers were in the tens of thousands. If Lin Xuan had to lead 500 men against such a number, they would surely die.
Yue Zhong replied, "Other than the 500 men, I will deploy 5,000 Mech-Fighters and 5 Reapers under your command. Do you have the confidence to do it? If not, I will not force you."
Lin Xuan trembled with excitement, as he got down on one knee and professed his loyalty, "I’m confident, Lord, I have the confidence to take down those cities!! Please allow me to serve you!!"
5,000 Mech-Fighters were a powerful force to these ordinary soldiers. With it, Lin Xuan had the confidence to crush the remaining rebel forces.
The other soldiers that had joined Lin Xuan in the uprising looked at him with an envious gaze. He had leaped to a different status in one day, from the lowest citizen to a general.
Yue Zhong then shot him a cold look, "Lin Xuan, let me make things clear first. Against those rebels, those who do not submit, you can kill them. However, if you or your men dare to pillage, rape or mistreat anyone in the cities, don’t blame me for being merciless. Understand?"
A force of 5,000 Mech-Fighters with Bai Yi’s control was basically unstoppable against these rebels.
Yue Zhong had chosen Lin Xuan to be the leader of this unit, one was to allow these people to fill up the gaps of these mechanized battalions. The other way was to fill up his ranks for people who are loyal to him.
If Lin Xuan was able to suppress and defeat those rebel forces, Yue Zhong would then have a reason to recruit him, allowing him to become a pawn in the military.
At this time, the military of the Capital was made up of a mix of people from different factions. If Yue Zhong wanted full control, he needed all the help he could get.
Lin Xuan’s face was filled with respect as he responded, "Yes!"
Yue Zhong patted his shoulders and promised, "Once you’re back, I will promote you and not mistreat you nor your men."
Lin Xuan heard Yue Zhong’s promise, and his heart felt warm, "Your subordinate will definitely wipe out the rebels for Your Majesty."
Yue Zhong slightly nodded as he turned his gaze towards the Xue Luo 20 Forts, his eyebrows furrowing, "Please, hang in there!"
Right now, in front of the 1st Fort, the ground had multiple holes and ditches all over it, with the blood of various species and races. The stench of the corpses was extremely overpowering, as many Blood-Sucking Bees buzzed around the corpses, absorbing the blood of the fallen.
On the Fort itself, the city wall had traces of destroyed automatic weapons, while maintenance workers were silently dragging the bodies of their enemies as well as their fallen corpses off to be burned.
` Zheng Yan He was standing on the city wall, staring at the corpses of his subordinates and felt his heart ache. His gaze traveled towards the other parts of the city walls.
Soldiers were hugging their weapons as they crouched or kneeled on the ground, sleeping. They had not had any rest for 2 whole days, their exhaustion reaching a peak.
It was already the 15th day of the assault by the Dino-Race, under their relentless assault and the throwing of their vassal forces at the city wall, the vast majority of the automatic defenses had already been destroyed.
The Mech-Fighters were also injured and damaged somewhat.
Zheng Yan He continued to rotate the soldiers, deploying his troops as efficiently as he could, fending off the constant attacks and waves from the Dino-Races.
In this 15 days, there had been over a million foreign races that died in front of the 1st Fort. Due to the overwhelming number of corpses which had formed piles and piles, Zheng Yan He had no choice but to utilize the energy bombs to obliterate them.
Furthermore, the presence of the corpses would be a food source for the Dino-Races.
Each time they attacked, there would be many hungered races and tamed Mutant Beasts that pounced on the corpses and fed while they attacked.
All of a sudden, there was a loud roar from the distance, while the Blood-Sucking Bees scattered and flew into the skies, leaving behind a number of dried corpses.
"They’re coming!!"
Zheng Yan He looked at the cloud of bees and frowned. He knew that everytime the bees flew, the Dino-Warriors would attack again,
From the army camps of the Dino-Warriors, there was a surge of Snake-Warriors covered in black scales. The Snake-Warriors were also being fuelled by the war drums, making a mad rush for the 1st Fort.
In the skies, 500 Sparrow-Warriors of about 1.23m each, wielding bows, soared up to the skies and fired multiple arrows at the human warriors on top of the Fort.
Zheng Yan He saw the surge of enemies and had 2,000 men prepare for battle.
At the same time, a number of energy cannons fired out, obliterating huge numbers of the Snake-Warriors with each round.
The rounds from the energy cannons came down like rain, annihilating many Snake-Warriors.
However, many of the Snake-Warriors managed to pass through the fire net, getting near the city wall.
The Snake-Warriors that got past managed to get to the city wall, and began to scale up the wall.
After so many days of intense battles, the automatic weapons had already been destroyed. Many of the human warriors had to risk their lives to stick their heads out to shoot at the Snake-Warriors.
Since the humans had the advantage of the high ground, many Snake-Warriors were pierced through by the laser beams.
However, in retaliation, the Snake-Warriors were able to fire out some black, poisonous arrows from their jaws.
"Ah!!"
When those black poison arrows touched the faces of the human warriors, the strong corrosive ability managed to burn right through the meat and bone, causing the entire heads of the unfortunate warriors to melt.
At the same time, hidden within the midst of the Snake Warriors, there was a Type 5 warrior that scurried up the walls. When it appeared in front of the defense points, it shot out poisonous spit.
The powerful firepower stopped immediately, as the warriors screamed out while being melted into a puddle.
It was at the moment where the automatic weapons had been destroyed that the top experts could display their full strength.
The Type 5 Snake-Warrior continued to slither around, firing multiple poisonous veils of mist. The human warriors within the defense points were reduced to piles of bones, with no one being able to withstand the attacks.
Faced with the attack of the expert Snake-Warriors, the human casualties were rising, at the same time, the collapse of each defense point meant that the Snake-Warriors behind were free to advance.
Zheng Yan He saw the peak experts of the Snake-Warriors proceeding unbridled and decided to pull out his trump card, "Iron-blood Warriors! Move out!!"
40 elite warriors wearing Type 4 Battle Suits emitting intense killing intent walked out, their Battle Spears and Mutant Nuclei glowing brightly. Their power was pushed to the Type 5 realm, as they charged to face the Snake-Warriors.
The Battle Suits lit up and the Iron-blood Warriors began to run up the wall as though they were on flat land.
