Chapter 109 (1/2)
The battle began exactly at twelve o'clock, when a missile, guided by a laser locator and trailing fire, fell into the gym.
First, a loud sound rang out, smashing all the glass in the ceiling of the gymnasium into pieces. Following that, flames that soared into the sky shot up into the sky like a dragon, then slowly spread out in all directions, as if a scarlet flower had bloomed.
In the next moment, Finlay's angry roar came out from the gym. Hundreds of huge wolves rushed out of the gym through the raging flames.
Their bodies were covered with a faint layer of freezing air, and when the flames touched them, they immediately felt as if they were being suppressed by an invisible hand.
However, the huge wolf that rushed out of the gymnasium was greeted with a machine gun from a soldier hiding behind a cover.
As for the armored vehicles, they continued to fire missiles at the gymnasium, while the large-caliber artillery in the ancient covered chariot continued to fire at the wolves that rushed out of the gymnasium.
All of a sudden, explosions and gunfire could be heard all over Morin.
Under the strong firepower of Phoenix City, even the ground began to tremble slightly.
Zero's SUV was parked on a street five hundred meters from the gym.
Before the battle had even begun, George had explained the details of the operation in the car, while each of the six members was assigned a tactical watch, blasting detonators, and a pocket flasher.
In addition to the basic functions of the tactical wristwatch, it also has the functions of calling and recording.
George was able to provide tactical support by using the camera in his watch to get a real-time view of the team.
As for the detonator and the signal gun, they are used to remove obstacles and to call for help.
In the distance, the battle was raging.
The explosion of flames in the gymnasium and the smoke of dragons soaring into the sky could be seen without telescopes.
This was his first time entering a new era of war. That's right, this was not a battle, but a real war!
After waking up, even though Zero had participated in a lot of battles, it was mostly team warfare.
The number of people involved in the conflict was at best between Saurun and himself, but Saurun's team consisted of only a hundred soldiers. It could not be called a war at all.
And now, a war was happening right under the noses of the natives.
Phoenix sent out two thousand men, along with a missile system armoured vehicle and a banded artillery vehicle.
Such a force could only be considered as a united army in the old days, with tens of thousands of division divisions.
However, in this new era, being able to gather two thousand troops and the resources of such a chariot was already enough to make people in Phoenix City change their minds.
After all, in the days after the Cataclysm, the world's surviving population was only a fraction of the global population of the old days.
And now, fifty years later, even if the human reproduction period shortens, the reproductive age decreases and the number of reproduction increases.
But after all, the time is short, and the increase in population is no more than a car with water and a salary.
Moreover, with the harsh conditions of the new age, a baby's ordeal from birth to adulthood was unthinkable.
And if one of them made a mistake, that meant the fall of a life.
As for the wild, the worst thing one could do was die.
Weapons processing is a big problem, even when the population size factor is taken into account.
Different from the old assembly line, the lack of resources and the shortage of manpower led to the transformation of the new weapons and equipment into precision processing.
This meant that although the level and power of the weapons had been increased, the output of the rare weapons would not be able to support the large-scale war.
Thus, one of the businesses of adventurer merchants included excavating old weapons and equipment, and even selling war chariots.
For example, Phoenix City used two overlay artillery vehicles which were purchased from adventurer merchants and repaired and modified before they could be put into use.
Thus, to the new era, a battle of more than 2,000 people could already be called a war, even though Phoenix City's opponents were only five hundred Finli Wolves.
The gymnasium was on fire. It was as if Phoenix City's army had the upper hand. In truth, it was only an act.
First was the issue of firepower. Whether it was missiles or artillery shells, the strategic resources for heavy firepower were extremely limited. Although Phoenix City had some hoarding, it was impossible for them to put them all to use for the sake of Finlay.
