Resurrection Empire-Chapter 910 - 349: Forced March (Part 3)

The voice of the squadron leader Ma Xiaoling came through the communicator.

To deploy this secret weapon with the fastest speed, the first batch of fighter pilots were all Mechanical Warriors of Fourth Level and above. Ma Xiaoling was unsurprisingly the squadron leader.

Ma Xiaoling had been sent to Wangdong Town in the morning, then carried onto the airship returning to Starfire Town with Ju Qingmeng and Sun Miao, and now he finally got a good sleep.

Inside the Red Blade Armor, Ren Zhong tried moving his joints, waves of discomfort swept over.

"Thankfully, it's bearable. This time, we need to defeat the Seven Towns Alliance in one go. We need high-rank combat power. Even if I can only perform at fifty percent capacity, it should still influence the battle."

Ma Xiaoling spat disdainfully, "You're quite the hardworking boss."

"Being a boss doesn't hinder me from leading the charge."

"Speaking of which, the potion you got from the Deep Communication Group is indeed powerful. We don't feel tired at all, full of energy, much better than the potion we used to use for staying up late."

Ren Zhong smiled, "That's the benefit of having the Deep Communication Group's project base built in Starfire Town."

Ma Xiaoling: "Hmm, you always have your considerations."

At 12:30 AM, the flight formation passed through the valley south of Chromium Carbon Town.

The squadron did not head for Chromium Carbon Town but continued east instead.

In the process, Ren Zhong received intelligence from the armored units led by Yuan Qinh and intel sent by Liang Qifa.

The fully mechanized elite five-route army will arrive in Chromium Carbon Town in an hour, at 1:15 AM.

Currently, the team is progressing smoothly. Although occasionally obstructed and disturbed by Ruined Beasts along the way, these are handled with ease.

The reconnoitre from the Seven Towns Alliance caught were removed in advance, and jamming grenades were used to block the enemy's information transmission.

As for Chromium Carbon Town, the situation has improved since the outsiders officially engaged in the battle.

The defenders fortified their positions, leveraging the advantage of their equipment to compensate for the disparity in numbers, maintaining a stalemate until now.

However, the situation is currently turning unfavorably for Chromium Carbon Town.

During daylight, the Seven Towns Alliance had nearly eighty thousand reserves that hadn't been deployed until after 10 PM when they gradually entered the battlefield.

On the Chromium Carbon Town side, the majority of combat-ready individuals haven't rested since 3 PM until now.

Even with the treatments from the town hospital, as soon as they recovered, they'd rush out again.

By now, some who are both lucky and unlucky have visited the town hospital over ten times already.

What's worse is the town hospital had about a quarter of its buildings wrecked in a previous firefight.

Although emergency repairs are underway, equipment damage is inevitable, and several dozen medical personnel have perished.

The town hospital's emergency response capability has degraded by over 30%.

From every angle, the defending warriors are running themselves ragged.

The enemy's fresh troops are well-rested, while our forces are running on fumes.

With this sort of dynamic, the defenders are gradually losing ground, and most of the defensive cannons on the city walls have been damaged.

The majority succumbed under the enemy's strong attacks; a few were blown up by defenders choosing to detonate the ammunition to prevent the turrets from falling into enemy hands when they saw the situation was irredeemable.

In Liang Qifa's words, from now, the casualty situation will continue to expand, and no matter how resilient the fighting spirit of the Chromium Carbon Town people is, they can hold on for at most three hours.

By then, there would be less than one of the near hundred thousand Professionals in the town left, while the enemy would still have at least fifty thousand troops remaining.

Ren Zhong, however, told Liang Qifa not to panic.

"Your task next is to preserve as much of your viable forces as possible, avoid executing any counterattacks that would increase casualties."

Liang Qifa earnestly complied.

Two minutes later, Ren Zhong received notification from Ou Youning.

Liang Qifa's command post was discovered by the enemy and attacked.

The deputy manager of Chromium Carbon Resources was killed, Liang Qifa was severely injured.

Command duties were passed on to Ou Youning.

...

At 12:31 AM, the formation consisting of fifty Viper Fighters and Ren Zhong himself found the temporary encampment of the three hundred thousand reinforcement troops of the Seven Towns Alliance nestled under a mountain range.

According to the plan of the Seven Towns Alliance, after the vanguard force of two hundred thousand captures Chromium Carbon Town, these three hundred thousand would fill in to turn Chromium Carbon Town into an Iron Wall.

Thus, this batch of troops was equipped primarily with logistics, and the personnel mainly comprised low-level Professionals.

These were intended as bargaining chips for the Seven Towns Alliance at the negotiation table but had now been prematurely discovered by Ren Zhong.

In an instant, the landscape of the war was completely rewritten.

"Hit! Hit their command center! Hit them dead!"

Ren Zhong issued the only order for the entire scene in simple terms.
