Chapter 919 - Armor Spearhead and Drone Attack Group (1/2)

Staring at the wrecked line of defense on the holographic map, the Legion Commander Fang Yuanhong’s eyes widened in disbelief, and his face was no longer calm. His mouth was open, and his tightened fists trembled with fear while precious time passed without a single order given out.

When NAC used an unknown energy weapon and destroyed half of the Wanderer tanks, he knew that he had already lost the war.

The adjutant standing beside him said in a difficult tone, squeezing out the confusion from his throat he could not understand. “…how did they transport the tanks behind us?”

Fang Yuanhong did not answer. He just silently stared at the red dots on the holographic map.

The gunfire outside the building gradually became clear. The battle was already approaching the headquarters.

“How many tanks are left?”

“Only two.”

Only two…

Yuan Fanghong’s body trembled.

Before he left, he swore to Commander Wei Bianbian of the Northern Alliance Area that he would not only lead the First Legion in winning this war, but would also do his utmost to bring all these precious tanks back intact.

Now, however, his adjutant told him that only two Wanderers were left…

…

“Bring me the Helmet Tribe leader. Not just Honchong, I would like to reward them with the entire province of Suhang.” Fang Yuanhong fixed the hat on his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it off and left it at the table.

The adjutant took a moment to process. He did not understand what the commander meant and subconsciously asked.

“And then?”

“And then?” Fang Yuanhong raised an eyebrow and looked at the adjutant, “and then let them protect our retreat.”

…

The retreat of the First Legion was rather decisive, just like when they came.

Since knowing that winning had become impossible, saving their power was the best option.

The unexpected tactics of Northern Alliance Area had made great advancement in the early stages, but with the extended range of the battlefield, the Northern Alliance Area quickly realized the danger of NAC’s tank without a turret.

In addition, it was not just NAC that was equipped with drones. The First Legion was also equipped with a large number of drones, including attacking drones such as Pythons. However, in order to reduce the effectiveness of NAC’s bombardment, their troops were more dispersed.

The Hunter Corps and tanks formation penetrating from the north merged with the Second Army infantry that crossed the Yangtze River near the train station. They were advancing toward the headquarters of the Northern Alliance Area.

In the final battle, NAC invested a total of 30 Longbow I, 20 Tigers II, 100 Armored Vehicles, and nearly 10,000 infantry. However, after the confluence of the main forces of the NAC, they did not encounter the Northern Alliance Area, but engaged against an unusually excited mutated human army.

Obviously, at the last moment, the Northern Alliance sold their teammates whose brain didn’t work too well. Until the last mutated human soldier fell, they still firmly believed that Hongcheng and Suhang Province belonged to the Helmet Tribe.

The First Legion retreated decisively. The Second Army only symbolically chased. After determining that it was impossible to catch up, the force regrouped at Wu City and concentrated on clearing the mutated humans that were hiding in the streets and planning to fight against them till the last moment.
