Chapter 1542 Squads II

Chapter 1542 Squads II　　Back in the Gaja clan.

Sam stood at the top of the wall as he looked at the surroundings with his telescope. The battle between the golems, puppets, the gliders, and the shooters is still going on.

The glider squad is taking breaks in the middle when the shooters are changing their shifts. It is like there is a tacit understanding between both parties.

Even though the gliders are managing to damage some of the shooters and the beasts, they are unable to destroy them completely. At the same time, they are unable to destroy the cannons directly. The beasts just added to their troubles.

Everything is in a massive stalemate.

But everyone can see that this long-lasting battle is turning in favor of the Gaja clan. The Golems kept on popping up no matter how many times they are destroyed. The puppets on the other hand are committing more kills than the golems. But they are going down after the shooters and the golems are ganging upon them.

The only silver lining for the Mari clan's side is that every time the golems broke they have a lot of time to come back and in this process, the puppet troops are moving forward.

The battlefield is slowly moving forward towards the Gaja clan.

That is one of the reasons Sivan is trying is sacrificing the puppets a bit. To move the battlefield towards the Gaja clan. With the Gliders already putting the pressure on the Shooters and covering the air battlefield near the Gaja clan he wants to make sure there is an advantage.

Meanwhile, the two squads Sam wanted were prepared. He was relieved that Ma is leading one but was surprised by the leader of the second squad.

It is actually Giyon.

"What the hell are you doing in this squad?"

Sam asked with a frown.

"I am covering the east side. I am collecting the samples that you need."

"I know that is where you are going and what you are going to do. I just don't know why you are doing this?"

"Because you wanted the best Middle-stage Consummate cultivators on it. And I am the best."

"Yeah, whatever. Are you sure you should be going? You are way too much of an enticing target for them to not attempt capture. They might not kill you in the fear of your father, but they can capture him and make your father useless in the battle."

"Well, a good thing I have this."

Giyon said as she took out a mask and wore it.

"I am more than my father's daughter. You better remember that."

Without even waiting for Sam's reply, she started moving away.

Sam connected with the two squads on the communication channels and started instructing them about the armors people are wearing.

Within twenty minutes they reached the vicinity of the target location.

Giyon stopped her ground and they all took cover.

"We are here near the location. We can see the blast zone. Everything is destroyed in the place and a giant rock is literally crumbling into the sand right in front of our eyes."

"Yeah, that is the blast zone. I want you to collect every sample that is within the blast zone. But before that, you need to make sure that there are no enemies in the vicinity."

"Alright. I am on it."

Giyon spoke and gathered some energy into her hand, before snapping her finger.

An energy ripple was created as it went straight for the surroundings and she could feel the presence of all the solid objects and the energy around them.

She frowned hard as she tried not to miss anything. But all of a sudden, they sensed tremors underneath them.

The earth started distorting and protrusions came out of the ground in the form of spikes as they aimed at the vitals of the squad hiding in various spots.

Everyone jumped from their spots and hung to the trees as they looked at the earthen spikes underneath them.

But before they could even look for the people who did it, all of a sudden, they sensed something flying over towards them.

Rocks that are the size of an average human head are flying over with extreme speed as they destroyed the trees that they hanging into.

They fell down, but the squad reacted quickly enough to cushion their blows. The earthen spikes were destroyed and they landed on solid ground.

At least that is what they thought.

"Squad, be alert."

Giyon yelled as she felt something is wrong. But her warning didn't change anything. She was dragged into quicksand along with the rest of the squad members. But it wasn't a rapid pull, which gave them time to make sense of things.

The squad members took their weapons out.

Giyon looked straight ahead where a young man in brown and red armor is standing with his arms crossed.

He had a smile on his face as the rock underneath him protruded upwards in the form of a spike on top of which there is a head-sized rock.

He landed a spinning kick with fire elemental energy. The rock shot out like a meteor towards Giyon.

A similar thing happened in various spots of the forest as small meteors came from different directions to all of the squad members.

Giyon looked at him coldly and extended her hand with spiritual energy at the tip of it.

*BOOM*

The palm and the rock crashed together as they turned into fragments. The meteor had no effect whatsoever on them. The squad also deflected it in various ways.

"What happened?"

Sam asked from the other side of the communication channel.

"Ambush. Stuck in a quicksand. Slow, but firm pull."

Giyon gave a brief description of what is happening.

"Are you being attacked by meteors?"

Sam asked as if he is watching it closely.

"Yes."

"Don't block. Dodge. Get out of the quicksand as possible. How good are you with your father's ripple style?"

"I am not as delicate. That is why I avoid using it in close combats."

"Good. Use it through your feet. Don't hold back."

Giyon frowned, but she did as she was told.

As soon as the energy ripples went through the quicksand, the earth trembled and solidified. Even though it happened like that, now as soon as they moved their feet, it broke and they came out.

"Split into groups of two. Have back to back. Don't become a large target."

Sam suggested from the communication line and Giyon passed the orders.

After they split, Giyon informed Sam about this, but she is not really happy.

"You can't really walk us through the whole battle can you?"

"Of course, I won't do that even if you ask me. I have a lot of things to do alright.

But there are some tips that you need to know before you battle it out with them.

Earthen armors, The one with full brown armors. The weak points are the inner points of the joints. The inner elbow, the inner thigh, the groin, and even the ankles are good targets.

They work really well in close combat. They will get easily defensive. Try to use wood elemental attacks against them. As long as you let them get affected by the poison grenades that I have given to your squad, you will be able to weaken them a lot.

The armor takes a lot out of them to operate."

"That is good to know. What else?"

"The other group. The meteor squad. They are skilled in the earth element, and fire element, and then they are also warriors. They are only suitable for that armor if they have all three of them."

"That is going to be a pretty rare bunch."

"Yes. They will be good if they work together. Anyway, there is one weak point of this armor. The middle of the chest.

You will see a bump that looks like it is part of the aesthetic design.

Try to destroy it.

Even if you are unable to completely destroy it, as long as you land a clear proper blow, they will be having some trouble.

Their armors won't be able to support their regular activity if you land that blow well.

That gives you an interval to deal with them."

"Alright. Joints and chest. Poison and kills."

"That is it. Have fun."

Sam cut the call immediately.

Giyon spoke with her teammates as they split and ran in pairs and explained the tips Sam gave them.

After that, she started snapping her fingers as she moved.

The energy ripples gave her a view of the people that are coming at them. There are four people following those two.

"Two earthen squad members and two meteor squad members. From the four sides. The joints for the former and the chests for the latter.

Are you ready?"

Her subordinate nodded and both of them stopped in their tracks instantly.

Giyon punched the earth with all her might and it started rumbling with energy ripples. An earthen attack that was about to be launched on her was deflected and the earthen armor user was caught off guard as he received some serious backlash.
