302 Skyway Bridge (1/2)

A single line formation of soldiers was enough to send a horde of regular carriers to their deaths.

'This can't go on.'

That was what he was thinking upon seeing the dead bodies getting covered up by other carriers. They can't loot the bodies, and there are too many enemies. Usually, the army wouldn't even look at regular hordes like these since they don't give much benefit in terms of experience. A horde like these only cause harm more than anything.

If it were any clearing operations, they could have just turned around and called it a day. If they were in the mood, they could take some time to split the horde into smaller groups before killing them.

However, they don't have time.

And this wasn't any regular clearing operations.

The president was behind them, and they couldn't afford to fail.

”Ceasefire!”

”Five people, on me. The rest, continue thinning their numbers!”

Paul, armed with his rifle, run forward to get a better angle on things. Due to the elemental carrier creating spikes and causing noises, the horde circled with it as the center.

The military already stumbled with this unique carrier and knew how to deal with it.

The only way to deal with it was an assassination. If you shot it through the eyes, there's a high chance that you could kill it before it became careful of its surrounding.

The six-man group boarded atop an overturned construction truck and started firing on anything that gets near.

Paul raised his rifle and took his shooting stance. The sights were only basic scopes, but with his trained eyes and the aim, he immediately found his target.

Unfortunately, the earth elemental carrier was almost the same as any other carrier. The only thing that reminds Paul that the target was the repeating rotation of the carriers in that area.

The earth elemental carrier was the eye of the horde where constant spikes of pierced carriers rose up.

'In the end, we have to waste ammo and clear the horde.'

”Attack the undead surrounding the unique one. I'll take care of that one if I get a clear shot.”

The five followed his orders and started thinning the eye of the horde. As more shots fired, the heads nearby became sparse.

Paul continued searching for the elemental carrier, and when he found it, someone actually shot it thinking it was a regular carrier. He found it through his instinct, but someone accidentally alarmed it.

The earth elementals external skin was tough. The bullet ricocheted and killed another carrier.

The earth elemental growled and summoned several spikes in its surrounding. The prolonged thinning of the remaining cemented road caused web-like cracks to appear.

When the earth elemental created another spike, the road couldn't take any more weight and collapse, causing everything above to fall.

Half of the horde joined the earth elemental as they plummeted towards the road below, getting their feet crushed like jelly.

”Fvck!”
