Chapter 79 (2/2)

”We can't hold on any longer! The enemy's a.s.saulting speed is too fast!”

Shouts coming from 2nd Company Commander O'Neal were resounding into the ears of Stewart. The guard company had just escaped from close-contact, and now, without the suppressive firepower by the [Fury Fires], the [Devil Tigers] fiercely charged into the flanks of the teams of warrior-cla.s.s leader mechas. Similarly, these warrior-cla.s.s leader mechas that focused primarily on long-range attacks were not the match of the [Devil Tigers] in close-combat. The 1st Platoon of commandos had been wiped out by the pack of wolves known as the [Devil Tigers].

The two flanks were forced to retreat. The warrior-cla.s.s leader mechas went according to the drill book as one side started retreating in a defensive formation, while the other side continued firing. However, the [Devil Tigers] before their eyes were too fast; they were continuously penetrating inwards, trying to tear apart the Fierce Tiger Commandos' formation.

Stewart's hands and feet turned ice-cold. The firepower of the [Fury Fires] was completely unable to move to another target, as without having suppressive firepower, the [King Kong]s that were charging in the center would immediately reach the guard company that had just only left the battle. And the warrior cla.s.s leader mechas that had just a.s.sembled in the center and just formed an obstruction formation would be broken by these monsters within moments.

What to do?!

”Hong!” A [Devil Tiger] that had its energy s.h.i.+eld dropped to deep red levels had been turned into a ball of fire from a sudden energy shot to its waist.

Such a fierce and mighty energy shot at such a fast speed was absolutely not from the energy cannon of a warrior-cla.s.s leader mecha.

”Hong!” Another [Devil Tiger] that was trying its utmost to retreat to the group of mechas with a deep red energy s.h.i.+eld had been destroyed.

”Hong!”, ”Hong!”.

One after another, [Devil Tigers] with deep red energy s.h.i.+eld levels had been destroyed by accurate energy shots coming from an unknown position. If they were not destroyed, then those who were damaged would be left without their s.h.i.+elds.

A Battle Mecha sniper?!

The [Devil Tigers] in the two flanks were dazed by the sniper. Right now, they did not dare to continue charging in while using their s.h.i.+elds to defend against the oncoming cannon fires from the Federation commandos. As long as their energy s.h.i.+elds turned red, they would immediately be hit by a destructive attack!

The two flanks had reached a stalemate under the aid of this sniper, but the [King Kongs] that were in the center continued their advance like a hot knife cutting through b.u.t.ter!

The Federation commandos that were moving towards the security posts set up had already tried stopping the advanced of the [King Kongs] three times at the security posts, but they still could not prevent them from breaching their lines. Dozens of [Fury Fires] had already put their firepower to a maximum, but it was futile! These [King Kongs] were not only fast, but their defenses were even stronger! One platoon of [King Kongs] could actually rely on their speed to face off against a company of Federation Battle Mechas, toppling the mountains and overturning the seas.

”Immediately protect the Imperial guard company's retreat back to the first company obstruction location! Quick!”

In the mess, the fatty staff officer's voice reverberated in the ears of Stewart!
