Chapter 1212
(Unedited)
…
The night is high and the atmosphere is a bit cold. The twin moon has slowly hidden behind the clouds making the whole land gloomy and dark.
At this time, a few shadows are traveling down the open field while watching the people atop the walls.
With a compressed air weapon on hand, they quickly dashed closer to the wall.
"Wait… Quickly drop down!" Xin Ja said behind the coms.
The people running forward did not hesitate and quickly drop down on the ground.
"Area clear! Go! Go! Go!" he relayed.
The people resume their advance and quickly reached the side of the wall. Using their Ki, they slowly scale the wall and soon reach the top. Without hesitation, they eliminate the guards patrolling the wall.
It took them around 2 minutes to completely wipe out the soldiers.
"Prepare the Mechas!" said Captain Yu who is one of the people who has infiltrated the town secretly.
Without the use of the compressed air weapon, this infiltration is almost impossible as there are multiple soldiers patrolling the wall. A rapid shot is the only key to enable the soldier's response time to be limited to a fraction of a second which is already fatal to them.
The 4 Mechas in the forest carried the other 5 Mechas as they slowly crept towards the town's wall…
"Prepare the sleeping gas! Fire!" Commander Zhou commanded.
Several canister bullets came flying in the air and landed on the town's streets. With just around 50 canisters, the whole town is already filled with sleeping gas. However, this kind of gas is almost invisible as it did not even look like mists.
But Captain Yu and the rest inside have already put their masks on.
"Report!" Commander Zhou said after 3 minutes.
"Sir, the whole town is under our control. It seems that the town is only controlled by weak soldiers of the enemy…" Captain Yu reported.
"Good… Proceed with the plan." Commander Zhou said.
Soon the Mechas were able to enter the town. Everyone heaves a deep sigh as they quickly gather the enemy soldiers.
They discovered that the town is only manned by around 200 enemy soldiers which were immediately gathered by them in about 30 minutes.
When everyone wanted to relax they heard bad news coming from Xin Ja who is still outside the town while taking a lookout.
"There are movements within the forest… I think we have company…" Xin Ja said.
"Damn it! They are quick to discover us…" Commander Zhou cursed.
"Quickly transfer the prisoners!" shouted the town head inside Go Wanrong's Mecha.
Everyone nodded and quickly went to the prison cell.
There are still guards in the prison cell but they were easily dispatched by the group.
Soon several hundreds of prisoners are already running towards the town's hall.
The gas has already dissipated in the air and is not harmful anymore.
Meanwhile, Xin Ja has already started his job. He set up four formations one on each gate. It only took him ten minutes to finish his work as he stealthily return to the forest.
Now they are only waiting for the enemy army to emerge.
"This is insane! Look at that number of soldiers!" cried Gi Wanrong when she used the drone to scout the skies.
Using the drone's Ki detection rune, it actually displayed a large number of enemy soldiers in her sight.
"That's… That's at least 5 thousand, right?" she muttered.
"What? Five thousand soldiers… are they really that desperate?" the town head muttered.
Even if they planned to stand their ground, they would not last that long with that large number of soldiers.
"How many level 10 soldiers do we have?" Commander Zhou asked as he enters the town's hall.
"We have at least 100…" the town head said.
"That's not enough… The enemy is far too numerous that we expected…"
"Commander… Tell them to guard only the walls… Do not guard the gates. I already set up the traps in there." Xin Ja said in the coms.
"Alright… I've seen your traps… Did you use the Slow Motion trap?" Commander Zhou asked.
"Yes, sir! Those are large slow motion traps… I also put in enough Ki stones to power those up for a week. Hehehe…" Xin Ja replied with a chuckle.
"You kid… Do you not want us to get out of this place too?"
"Hehe… Commander, the town head is with you. She knew the secret passage out, right?" Xin Ja asked with a smirk.
"Humph… Alright, let's go to plan B. Prepare for defense!" Commander Zhou shouted in the coms.
Soon, the Mechas activated their Ki sensors and quickly saw the large army marching from the Eastern side of the town.
But there are also some that are coming from the west, north, and south.
"2 kilometers mark has been reached!" Xin Ja suddenly said.
"Mortar rounds! Fire!" shouted Commander Zhou.
Without hesitation, the 9 Mechas quickly fire a salvo of Mortars in the air in all four directions.
Ka-Boom!!!
Ka-Boom!!!
The ground began to shake making everyone in the town shout in fear.
Even though they are hidden underground, everyone is already cowering in fear.
Meanwhile, those soldiers that are standing above the walls watch the horizon as it began to be lined with tall mushrooms explosions.
"Hehe… It's time for me to also do my job…" Xin Ja said as he positioned himself behind a tree and has already raised his long-range rifle in the air.
The Long-range rifle in his hand has two functions. It can use compressed air and at the same time, can use burst ammunition. And since there is no one around him, Xin Ja would use burst ammunition while looking under his high-powered scope.
"Ah… There is my first target… I hope this does not spook those guys…" he muttered as he picks the first level 10 Ki fighter amongst the attacking forces from the east.
Boom!!!
The explosion from the long-range rifle sounded like a cannon.
And the propelled projectile flew really fast reaching the maximum speed of 1,000 meters per second.
When the bullet hits the level 10 Ki fighter inside the metal armor, he actually flew in the air as his armor was shattered. Meanwhile, the others behind him were also hit and the bullet still traveled in the straight line till it reached about 100 meters.
"Alright, one down…"
The bombardment continues but the advance of the enemy did not stop. Although caught off guard, the kingdom of Glysko has already known this type of exploding weapon of their enemy.
They knew that it is only limited in use and will not be able to sustain. Once they reached the walls and the gate, then they can easily defeat the enemy with their numbers.
Boom!!!
Along with the explosion in the air, the enemy officers have noticed something amiss.
The range of the explosion is actually falling behind them. And it is coming closer and closer as they also charge closer to the town.
They have already hundreds of casualties in this bombardment alone, but they dare not back down because this is the command from the top.
They are to get their hands on a Mecha no matter what.
However, only the officers knew of this suicide mission. The soldiers are only informed that they would be saving their comrades in the town.
Soon, the town's wall is already in their sight. The officers of the enemy dare not stay at the rear because of the explosions. They can only stay in the middle.
Suddenly, they stopped when they are within the range of the town's wall long-range arrows.
This is kind of like a subconscious command to the officers as if etched in their bones. They seem to have forgotten the terrible range and destruction of the mortars.
So when they truly stopped.
Ka-Boom!!!
The soldiers at the last line were blasted into smithereens by the mortars.
This immediately created panic in the hearts of everyone.
"Damn it! Charge! Attack the town!" shouted the officers.
Their eyes are already red and their bodies are covered with Ki.
Then suddenly, from the top of the walls, several soldiers pop out and then began to shoot hail of bolts from the compressed air weapons given to them.
This made the officer of the Glysko kingdom turn enraged as they did not expect to fall for the trap of their enemy. They thought that the enemy would actually fall for their traps, but instead, they were the ones to fall for the trap.
But it was already too late.
Xin Ja's Mecha has already climbed the highest branch of the tree that could support his Mecha's weight. He began firing and sniping those officers that have the power to escape.
"Wow… they actually have three 13th level Ki Adepts senior officers…" Xin Ja muttered as he kept track of his kills.
"Hihi… I can't go to that anymore if they know that I killed this many of their officers…" Xin Ja muttered while shaking his head.
When his eyes landed on the gates, he showed a faint smile on his face as he could tell that there are more than a hundred people trapped in there.
