After the Shield Guards reached a verbal agreement with Rhode Island, these humanoid self-propelled tanks dispersed into pieces with other guerrillas throughout the core city, igniting the fuse between the rebels and supporters.
Almost as soon as the Rhode Island team left, the core city fell into war again. But this time it's no longer a war between the Integration Movement and other forces, but their own internal chaos.
To be fair, neither the Shield Guard nor Rhode Island wanted to see this civil strife. After all, both sides were infected. But they must raise weapons against those who block their way, otherwise they will lose their lives.
The Rebels have shield guards and partisans joining the fight extremely smoothly, at least at first. After a period of time, the chaotic crowd finally calmed down a little, and the anger in their hearts gradually subsided, and reason once again occupied the high ground.
After a discussion between the shield guards and the guerrillas, they led the remaining rebels towards the few remaining exits of the core city, hoping to leave here as soon as possible after stopping in the core city to avoid further complications. .
Conflict has broken out, and this city is no longer suitable for anyone to stay. Regardless of whether it stops in the end, the Ursus regular army will definitely arrive here as soon as the incident is over.
To the north of Chernobog is the vast territory of the Ursus Empire, but the military power of the Yan Kingdom is a certain distance away from Longmen. If the two sides really start a war, the integration movement caught in the middle will be the first force to be eliminated.
No one will have mercy on them.
As the rebel team moved towards the entrance and exit, the Rhode Island team had arrived below the command tower and was preparing an attack plan. The Ursus regular army hidden in the integration movement also noticed the strangeness of the command tower and activated the backup hidden energy and began to move towards it. Go right in the center.
Jue's guess was correct. Ursus's regular army definitely had more than one hidden warehouse in the core city. Shortly after she reported the situation, other SWEEP members gradually revealed to Kelsey the facts they saw in their own eyes.
A considerable number of integrated movement soldiers have put on brand new weapons and equipment and headed to the command tower, and have deliberately kept a distance from the rebel team moving in the opposite direction.
There was almost no fighting between the two sides, each carrying out its own plans.
Kelsey still underestimated the number of regular soldiers in the integration movement. Even if she sent all SWEEP members to this city to perform tasks, she might not be able to stop this white torrent.
For them, the highest order is to ensure the operation of the core city. As long as this trembling but extremely weighty mobile ruin can hit the dragon gate, and as long as Tallulah is still the leader of the integration movement, the rest of the things have nothing to do with these people.
Because of this, these regular soldiers advanced much faster than the shield guards and guerrillas. Even if the latter simply arranged the exit defense line and marched with volunteers all the way to the command tower, they were still beaten by the regular soldiers behind them. Soldiers blocked the entrance to the core area.
Soldiers are valuable and quick, this is a truth that every battlefield commander understands. But unlike in military books, it is not easy to achieve these four words in the real world. It not only depends on the quality of the soldiers, but also has extremely high requirements on the battlefield environment.
At least one of the two harsh conditions must be met, otherwise the advantage on the battlefield will be handed over to the enemy, just like the bad situation faced by the guerrilla shield guards at the moment.
The huge wall that isolates the outer environment of the command tower from the core city was raised, but it was not completely raised, leaving several exits. This is the credit of SWEEP members. They destroyed the switches responsible for controlling these city walls. Even if the regular army had a way to activate them, they could not completely block the reinforcements from outside.
But besides this natural chasm, these soldiers have other ways to slow down the guerrillas.
After all, they are elite soldiers who grew up under the harsh environment and system of Ursus, and their methods are cruel, diverse and deadly.
These people planted Originite explosives in the main road and surrounding buildings, and laid out snipers to wait for their work.
At first, when the shield guards saw the empty road, they thought they had arrived not too late. However, when the team entered the road on the other side of the city wall, the violent explosions told these people that the road ahead led to a bloody hell.
The pungent smoke of gunpowder blended with the sweet smell of blood, and unimaginable horror arose in everyone's hearts. At the front of the team, the fallen shield guard had just stood up when a heavy arrow hit his body. If the shield guard's armor hadn't been thick enough, this blow would have been enough to kill him.
"Retreat! Retreat! There are snipers!"
"Shield guard! Set up shield!"
A roar like thunder echoed on the road. The shield guards following the leader immediately stepped forward and set up their shields to pull the leader who was hit by the arrow back to the defense line, forming a thick steel Great Wall. The danger of coming again stands in the way of life.
The explosions and snipers did not cause too much chaos. The guerrillas and the soldiers of the integrated movement who came voluntarily quickly organized their teams and evacuated the road quickly and orderly, retaining their effective strength.
After a brief pause, they changed their route and prepared to enter the buildings surrounding the control tower from another path.
As experienced warriors, the shield guards found urban design drawings to familiarize themselves with the city's environment on the first day they were stationed in the core city of Chernobog. They also have a very good understanding of the central area that is currently semi-open. .
The city wall outside the command tower was raised but the gate was not closed. Although the main entrance was dangerous, it did not mean that there was no way to enter.
There are two large exits and six small exits in the central area of this state. One of the large exits is where the shield guards were attacked just now, and the other exit is in the north. If you want to enter from there, you must make a big circle. Very waste of time.
Therefore, they set their target on the small exit not far from the main entrance.
And just when these people arrived on the road near the small exit, a familiar voice appeared in their ears again.
It was the whistling sound of a sharp blade piercing the air, announcing the arrival of death.
This time, the sniper ambushing here did not aim his crossbow at the shield guard at the front of the road like at the main entrance. Instead, he fired arrows announcing his presence at the guerrillas carrying mortars in the team.
Almost the moment they heard the sound, a bright blood line drew a perfect arc in the team. The arrow accurately hit the guerrilla gunner's body, but did not kill him.
At the same time, the leader's roar overlapped with the shouts of the injured, arousing everyone's nervousness.
"Sniper! Cover! Cover!"
He raised the shield in his hand and ran towards the gunner who fell on the ground behind him, while waving his thick arms to inform everyone of the danger.
Without any thought, the team moved after hearing the warning. The guerrillas and soldiers ran to the buildings on the roadside to hide in bunkers, and the fallen artilleryman was also led by The shield guard dragged him to a safe area.
"Damn it! Hold on brother!"
Because he was wearing a full-coverage helmet, the shield guard's voice sounded a little muffled, but everyone could feel the anger and impatience inside.
He firmly pressed the gunner's wound with both hands, turned to look at his companions hiding in the rubble behind him, and shouted loudly: "Are there any medical warlocks?! Are there any?!"
After a brief silence, an Integration Movement soldier at the end of the team raised his hand. The other shield guards saw his shadow and immediately raised their shields to form an iron wall and move back to provide a safe route for the soldier.
"Put up a shield!"
Without any extra orders, the shield guards quickly lined up on the road to form a steel defense line. The soldiers of the Integration Movement bent down and quickly passed through the road behind the giant-like shield guards to the side of the injured.
Several crossbow arrows hit the thick shield, but the steel defense line did not tremble at all. The shield guards had their small heads exposed and looked towards the direction of the crossbow arrows through their thick bulletproof masks, but they could only see an extremely blurry figure flashing past.
Compared to the main road just now, there are no explosives here, but there are still snipers. Moreover, there are huge and complex residential areas on both sides of the road. Finding a sniper in this maze-like building is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
They can transfer at any time, but the shield guards only have this choice, and any detours will only waste time.
It's okay to go back, but judging from the flames burning above the command tower, the Rhode Island team is probably in a lot of trouble. If they arrive in time, they may be able to end this crisis faster.
Things are in trouble.
"How about doctor?!"
Looking at the soldiers who were trying to stop the bleeding of the wounded, the shield guard held the gunner's shoulder and sounded anxious.
"I'm not very skilled in medical magic. I tried my best to stop his bleeding."
The soldier took out a large piece of relatively clean cloth from his backpack and used it as a bandage to wrap around the wound, with regret in his tone.
"Thank you, I wish I could save my life."
Although he couldn't be cured directly, he was relieved that he could stop the bleeding. After all, his life was saved.
Leonid leaned against the wall not far behind the doctor, frowning slightly as he looked at the injured on the ground.
"It's difficult..."
He sighed quietly and shook his head slightly.
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
Yefim heard his whisper, slowly leaned next to Leonid, and lightly poked his arm.
"Isn't his life saved?"
The conversation between the two caught Anfiya's attention. The girl put down the light crossbow and squatted beside Leonid, wanting to hear what he had to say.
The strength of the regular army snipers is far superior to that of this little girl who has become a monk. Even if she finds the enemy, the light crossbow in her hand cannot threaten the opponent. It is better to take a good rest now and recharge her batteries.
As for the revolver, it had run out of bullets in the battle with the rebels, and now it was only used as a deterrent in the holster.
"Do you think the shield guards will abandon this injured gunner in the next operation?"
Glancing at the two young bears approaching, Leonid raised his chin towards the gunner not far away and asked in a low voice.
"Won't."
An expected answer.
"Then this means that our marching speed will be greatly reduced compared to the beginning. Regular army snipers can catch up with us in the building and wipe out the remaining active forces."
"Perhaps the shield guards will not be harmed by the arrows, but the ordinary guerrillas following us do not have such thick armor and shields. They will definitely be injured or die if they are attacked."
He deliberately raised his voice a little so that both the gunner and the shield guard could hear him. The shield guard glanced at Leonid and said nothing.
"A wounded soldier needs at least two able-bodied soldiers to take care of him. Regular army snipers know this very well. In fact, in their training, when facing troops like us who are in the open, the optimal solution is always to shoot Wound the enemy instead of killing it.”
"Slow down the enemy team's advance speed, and then use the terrain advantages and weapon advantages to slowly eliminate the enemy..."
Leonid picked up a small clod of soil and crushed it into dust with his index finger.
"Vicious, but extremely effective."
Street fighting is a soldier's nightmare. You never know when an arrow will hit you, you never know if there will be an enemy around the next corner, and you never know what is waiting for you ahead.
All they know is that there is nothing but chilling malevolence lurking in the roads and in the buildings that line them.
"Unless we have heavy firepower and can bulldoze the surrounding rubble and buildings, this road is going to be very painful."
These last words were heard by everyone around Leonid. The gunner lay on the ground and remained silent with his eyes closed, but his hand was still tightly clasped.
"Of course there are other ways."
Leonid jumped out of the bunker and quickly moved to the gunner's side. He skillfully put the parts of the mortar together, pointed the muzzle at the road, and at the same time opened the backpack behind the gunner and asked while touching, "Are there any smoke bombs?"
Facing snipers, the best way besides firing cannons is to use smoke grenades to cover the enemy's vision and move forward quickly. Common sniper attacks in the game are the worst, unless you are holding a single weapon. missiles and recoilless guns.
"Uh...no."
The gunner gritted his teeth and gave an extremely realistic answer. Leonid was stunned, took his hand out of the ammunition bag, and dismantled the newly installed mortar into parts again.
This is war in reality.
Not many armies have the kind of perverted logistics supply capabilities you see in Amei. They can transport everything they want to the front line of the battlefield, let alone these teams with the name of guerrillas.
It is normal to be short of guns and ammunition.
"I have another way."
Snap.
Leonid buckled the gunner's backpack and put the hood over his head. Yefim and Anfiya looked at each other, and a bad premonition emerged in their hearts.
"The order the sniper received must be to prevent anyone from entering the central area. Anyone who tries to enter will be killed immediately. The attack just now was just to delay our speed and get rid of us better."
"But if there is a team moving quickly towards the entrance now, it will definitely attract their attention and focus all their attention on those people."
"you mean……"
The shield guard seemed to understand Leonid's plan.
"If possible, I would like to take a few people out to serve as bait."
These words directly frightened Anfiya and Yefim behind.
"old man!"
A low voice came from behind Leonid. Yefim gritted his teeth, lowered his voice and called his boss.
"what are you saying?!"
No one is a fool, and everyone can understand that this is a mission with a narrow escape from death.
"The bait can be given to the shield guard."
The shield guard nodded in agreement with Leonid's plan, and took the task on himself.
"You can't."
Leonid looked at the humanoid self-propelled tank in front of him and shook his head.
"The snipers know very well that their attacks are useless against you, so the enemy will definitely put you into the entrance."
"It's just that what's waiting for you behind the door must be something similar to explosives."
Having said this, he raised his hand and pointed at the younger brother behind him, and continued: "So, I need some people who know professional knowledge, and at least their minds should be as flexible as their bodies."
"The speed of arrows is not as fast as bullets. If you take a more tricky route and have faster legs and feet, your chances of survival will still be high."
"Right, Yefim?"
After saying this, Leonid turned his head and showed a bright smile to his little brother. Yefim looked at the scars on his face and his clean teeth, and all he wanted to do was slap himself in the face.
Talk a lot, talk a lot, let you talk a lot!
Good things don't happen by themselves, bad things always happen by themselves!
"But this will not eliminate the snipers."
"It's up to you."
Leonid pointed to his ear.
"You shield guards must have a communication device, right? Give me one."
"I will report to you the approximate location of the snipers at that time. You need to divide your troops into the ruins in two groups to eliminate these guys."
"There must not be many snipers deployed here. Because of the environment of this road, they only need a few people to secure the entrance. It would be a waste to deploy more people."
"Of course, you shield guards are the boss, I listen to you."
After explaining his plan, Leonid shrugged.
"After all, this task requires some people who know explosives. I think the gunners in the guerrillas are perfect candidates."
As soon as he finished speaking, the injured man lying on the ground held the shield guard's hand. His eyes were red, and he wanted to persuade the shield guard to leave him alone and leave quickly, but he refused.
"The situation will not change even if I leave you behind. The plan this brother mentioned is the only way."
The shield guard took off his helmet and handed his communication headset to Leonid.
"The most important thing is that guerrillas can only die on the battlefield. What kind of guerrillas are they if they die like this?"
Soon, the guerrillas decided on the candidate for the bait. Leonid tested the effect of the headphones, and the feedback satisfied him.
"Efim."
He glanced at the people making preparations on the first floor of the building, raised his hand and patted his younger brother on the shoulder.
"ah?"
Yefim was not among the participants in the decoy mission, but his mood was still very low.
"Take care of Anfiya."
These words were like a knife thrust into his heart. Yefim quickly took a step back and looked at Leonid with a horrified look on his face.
"What are you talking about? Why don't you take care of your own apprentice and let me take care of him?"
"Are there any teachers like you?"
He seemed to have forgotten that the unshaven middle-aged man in front of him was his elder brother. He reached out and clenched his fist and punched Leonid's shoulder several times with an angry look on his face.
"You... you have to live. I can't control that girl. Only you can control her. If you want..."
Saying the most cowardly words with the most arrogant attitude, Yefim expressed these words to the extreme. In the end, he didn't dare to say the next few words. He just slowly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Leonid pursed his lips, patted his shoulder lightly, and turned to leave.
The baits are ready, and they are about to leave the safe zone and embark on a dangerous road.
Leonid took one last look at his family behind him and stepped out of the shadows.
At this moment, a dazzling lightning flashed in front of everyone's eyes. Immediately afterwards, the entire world was covered in green, like falling into a dream!
