GOR Chapter 748 Blackmail

“Suppressive fire! Suppressive fire!”

“Damn it! Try your best to just use bullets! Do not waste the energy reserve of the Thunderstorm Tank’s main turret!”

“The wounded from the frontlines have arrived! Hurry up and treat them!”

“Give me an inventory of the remaining Healing Beast Blood! Everyone, don’t hold anything back!”

“A gap has opened up on the left flank! Sentinel mech! Sentinel mech, reinforce!”

“Magi! Magi! Where are the magi?! Hurry up and throw a big one here!”

“Son of a bitch! Just how many of these guys are there?”

The sounds of artillery firing echoed out and energy beams dominated the sky.

Within a vast sandy desert were countless bipedal jackal-headed monsters. Those monsters surged forth from the sands to charge a lonely hill.

Each of the monsters was at least two metres tall and were either wielding shields, scimitars or spears. Wave after wave of the monsters charged forward like a tidal wave. On the sides, monsters wielding bows were assembled into formation and they fired arrows from afar.

Hundreds of men were stationed atop the lonely hill, having created a defensive position there to defend against the offensive by the tens of thousands of jackal-headed monsters.

Four Thunderstorm Tanks had been positioned at all four corners to form four pillars of defence. Tens of figures held positions around each Thunderstorm Tanks. The ones with melee abilities would rush forward to do battle while those with long-range abilities would stay within the perimeter to fire their attacks.

There at the centre of the hill, a large number of heavy weaponries had been set up. The weapons there range from recoilless rifles to rocket launchers. There were even a few walker mechs there. All of them were firing non-stop.

A number of figures dressed like magi were chanting. Every time they finished their chant, a devastating spell would erupt upon the battlefield outside. Sometimes, a spell for boosting the defenders would be cast.

The rate at which the defenders fell was high. Although their companions would rescue them back to the centre of the hill, men were dying.

Every time an artillery blast or spell was unleashed, a stretch of monsters would be wiped off the desert surface. However, after falling, the monsters simply transformed to sand before becoming one with the desert again. It did not take long before new monsters emerged from the sands.

“This won’t do.” There at the centre of the hill was a dark-skinned figure, tall and lean, wearing a high-grade protective suit. Although he was wielding a laser submachine gun in his hands, he did not open fire with it. Instead, he stared into the distance.

The hill was surrounded by the jackal-headed monsters who formed a radius of a few kilometres around the hill. Meanwhile, standing several kilometres away from the siege was an even bigger monster.

The monster also sported a jackal head. However, it was not holding onto a weapon. Instead, its right hand held a sceptre while waving non-stop with it.

Every time it waved the sceptre, hundreds of jackal-headed monsters would rise from the sands. After shaking the sands of their bodies, the monsters would then charge forward with a roar.

“Be honest, Riche.” There was a one-eyed, muscular man in medieval armour standing beside the dark-skinned man. He was wielding a shield and a war hammer. He continued, “What do you want?”

“We only brought the regular amount of ammo for this instance dungeon. We did not imagine we would encounter something like this.” The dark-skinned Riche revealed a gloomy expression on his face. “Be it the Thunderstorm Tanks or the Walker mechs, their energy reserves are limited. And then there are our magi. Once their magic power is exhausted, they will no longer be capable of unleashing those large area-of-effect spells to devastated the enemies. When that happens, these enemies will certainly break through our defence.”

“Who was the one who said that Anubis’ position as a god is not high and that he will quickly exhaust all his magic power?” The one-eyed man gave a snort as he glared at Riche. “If we had followed my plan of breaking forward before these monsters reach critical mass, we would have been able to kill that guy by now!”

“I was wrong, all right?” Riche glared back at the one-eyed man. “Terraflame, I am now discussing what to do with you. I am not here to listen to discouraging words. Given our present situation, you still want to argue with me?”

“Then, hurry up and tell me your plan!” The one-eyed man was shouting so loudly, spit ended up landing upon his feet.

“Gather the elite members and those with high-grade equipment together and attempt to break through.” Riche took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart as he stared at Terraflame. “Kill off Anubis and these jackal-headed monsters will disappear.”

“Go on, then.” Terraflame spread his hands. “We will continue defending. Since this is your plan, you Players can go ahead and execute it.”

“You…” Riche clenched his fists. “Enough, Terraflame! You know what I meant! Right now, I don’t have that many elites! I need your party for the defensive backbone! Aliosha and Ghostfox too, they must participate in this assault!”

“Is that so? I personally think there are plenty of talents in Thorned Flower Guild. Surely, you don’t need our help to kill off this BOSS?” Terraflame rolled his eyes. “There is no way I will leave this defensive position. I am currently Starfall Guild’s Manager of the African Region. I have a responsibility towards my men.”
