Chapter 80: After Modification - 40 Low Ridge Jungle Operation (5)
"Second company, hold your ground and intercept. Everyone else, follow me and retreat," Stewart immediately heeded Fatty’s advice. Now was not the time to have a hard fight with the Mythical Army—the mission’s target was Russell!
[Anger]’s firepower maintained suppression on the [Vajra], while the special forces of the second company were at the forefront, and the third company swiftly disengaged from the battle and retreated.
Severing a finger to save the hand! Sacrifices must be made to gain time and space! This is the unchanging rule of war. Whether covering the retreat or retreating themselves, they immediately executed the order without hesitation.
The third company had retreated. As [Anger] gradually left the battle, the pressure on the second company suddenly increased dramatically! Every time the position of interception was breached, it required the sacrifice of more than a dozen Warrior Leaders to buy time for another interception.
Fortunately, there was a Mecha sniper providing precise strikes to help stabilize the formation, otherwise, the second company wouldn’t be able to hold back the enemy’s ferocious assault!
"Boom!" Another [Demon Tiger] with a deep red energy shield was blown up.
Due to the electronic attacks from [Antenna], communications between the Mythical Mechas were completely cut off. Facing a sniper who was frenetically picking them off one by one, the [Demon Tigers] were at a loss. They did try to identify the sniping point to suppress it with long-range firepower, but the Federation Mecha sniper was undoubtedly a master of camouflage and sniping. The first energy bullet clearly came from the 2 o’clock direction, yet the second one came from the 11 o’clock position.
o’clock direction, 12 o’clock direction, 10 o’clock direction, 3 o’clock direction, dammit! 6 o’clock direction! When did this guy run behind our rear?!
