Chapter 699 A Self-Defeating Line of Defence

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The battle in the rain continued.

Within twenty minutes, the royal team had pierced through the defenses of the Blaze Assault Division and the Barrier Armored Legion, directly facing the 75th Ranger Legion.

The Rice Army had set up five defensive lines around St. Mary's Hospital, but the Blaze Assault Division and the Barrier Armored Legion accounted for nearly three-fifths of the total.

Of the fifty thousand troops, the first two were more than thirty thousand.

This was not surprising. The Blaze Assault Division and the Barrier Armored Corps were both regular troops stationed in Federation City all year round. The former had about 10,000 men, while the latter had less than 25,000. This time, most of the soldiers of the two corps were gathered here, forming two square formations of about 30,000 men.

After them, the 75th Ranger Regiment and Marine Corps combined numbered less than 10,000.

As for the final Brave Infantry Division, It could be said to be the weakest of the five lines of defense, Although there were 10,000 of them, their overall combat strength was the weakest. Even if they looked at the entire US, the Brave Infantry Division was at the lower levels. This was the first time an army of this level had even entered the battlefield. If Lin Xuanyuan successfully charged into the Brave Infantry Division's defensive line, it would almost represent their success in breaking out of the encirclement.

They must not be allowed to break through the defenses of the Marine Corps and the 75th Rangers.

Therefore, this was the only consensus they had for Rice Army who truly wanted to stop Lin Xuanyuan and the others.

Countless rice armies surrounded them from all directions. Behind the royal family was a tunnel made entirely of blood and corpses. It was nearly three hundred meters long. At this time, there was no way to retreat. They could only move forward.

After all, no matter what, a formation that had pierced through two troops could not be equivalent to annihilating two troops.

They broke through in a straight line, but the rice army on that line had all been killed. Now that the royal family was getting deeper and deeper, the densely packed rice army was surrounded by enemies in all directions, and there was no way to retreat.

Charge!

Charge forward!

The sword light fell straight down.

Another Rice Army 's body was directly split in half.

Wang Fuyu's expression was firm and persistent as he swung his sword down faster and faster.

Unparalleled. Thousand Autumn Tribulation.

This was Wang Fuyu's strongest peerless technique. The fact that he was able to get rid of the red robe that was already a supreme being when he was still a quasi-world-shaking expert, and successfully enter the ranks of supreme beings, was enough to show the power of this peerless technique.

However, this did not mean that this move was only suitable for a one-on-one fight.

In fact, in group battles, the lethality of this move could be perfectly displayed.

The limit of the Thousand Autumn Tribulation was a thousand swords!

Moreover, it was a thousand swords that would be subtly superimposed on each sword's strength.

When this move landed on a person, Wang Fuyu was able to unleash a final sword strike that was several times or even more than ten times as powerful as his own.

This was the limit of true strength.

With Wang Fuyu's current strength, he could even surpass the Emperor in terms of strength by more than ten times.

If he wanted to break through this move, the only way was to avoid it as much as possible. He could not resist it head-on, nor could he allow Wang Fuyu to superimpose his strength.

On a one-on-one basis, this was the question that Wang Fuyu needed to consider the most.

However, in the environment of group warfare, this was the last thing that needed to be considered.

Wang Fuyu was blind, and every sword he hacked out could not be missed.

As a result, the power of each strike was constantly superimposed. After the tenth strike, Wang Fuyu was able to instantly kill any enemy with a single strike!

The 75th Ranger Regiment's S-class elite, SS-class elite, SSS-class senior officer...

Without exception, a single sword strike instantly killed him!

The defensive helmet and vest were sliced open like tofu under the sharp blade of the Heavenly Punishment Sword.

Blood filled the sky. Wang Fuyu swung his sword faster and faster, and his strength became stronger and stronger. As he led the charge, the advance of the Imperial Clan's Breakthrough Team became more and more ferocious. It was already close to the momentum that Lin Xuanyuan had when he led the charge.

The 75th Ranger Regiment began to retreat gradually, and the people from the Breakthrough Team followed suit. The entire battlefield had gradually begun to deviate from the hospital, and tens of thousands of people were slowly moving along with them.

"Second Squadron, retreat. On top of Third Squadron, the Special Operations Group will receive them from the side."

Within the square formation of the Rangers, Gaddis stared fixedly at Wang Fuyu in his line of sight, issuing orders loudly.

Gaddis' prestige in the 75th Ranger Regiment was extremely high. It could be said to be an order and a ban. Naturally, the special forces were much stronger than the regular forces. Almost as soon as he gave the order, the formation of the 75th Ranger Regiment had changed.

The second squadron, which had already lost more than half of its strength, quickly retreated. The third squadron directly hit it. As soon as it entered and retreated, Wang Fuyu seized the opportunity to quickly advance seven to eight meters. With a loud howl, the longsword landed and the special forces soldier at the front of the third squadron was split into two.

The Special Operations Group rushed over from the side, facing the muzzle of the shooter.

Thunder rang out at the same time as the gunshot. Flames flickered, and powerful bullets shot out. No one could escape from her lock in the direction the shooter was pointing at.

Perhaps this was another mistake made by Galileo and the others.

From the moment they broke out of the encirclement until now, there had been very few gunshots in the entire battlefield, and some of them were fired by shooters.

As for the Military...

The firearms in their hands had even become decorations, and most of them were fighting with their sabers in their hands.

Tens of thousands of people surrounded and annihilated a dozen people, The target was too small, The chances of shooting his opponent were far lower than that of hitting one of his own people, Right now, the weakest members of the team were all X-class fighters. With their speed, they could dodge most of the bullets. If they were gathering fire, they could also catch the nearest Rice Army as a shield at the moment the gunshots rang out. In such a war, once they opened fire, they would basically greet their own people.

The Mi army formed five square formations. All the troops were gathered together. Everyone was fighting against one of their troops. The ones closest to them were from the class, the ones farther away were from the platoon, and the ones farther away were from the company.

Under such circumstances, who would have the courage to shoot at the enemy?

The chances of accidentally killing a comrade-in-arms were almost 100%.

Even Galileo and Yurisses didn't dare to give orders to shoot, and even if they did, the ordinary Military Army wouldn't even carry out them.

Without the deterrence of firearms, the threat posed to Lin Xuanyuan and the others by the ordinary Rice Army would be greatly reduced.

This was a completely puzzled situation.

"Third Squadron, retreat. At the top of Fourth Squadron, the others use small teams to carry out harassment tactics!"

Step by step, Gaddis' hoarse roar resounded again.

Without the ability to use guns, the so-called tactics and commands seemed to have lost all meaning. In a situation where the balance of power was extremely uneven, there was no so-called command that could stop the opponent from piercing through the formation. No matter how exquisite it was, Lin Xuanyuan and the others would always face the enemy closest to them.

Fifty thousand people?

It sounded like a lot, but from the beginning to the end, they had to face only a few dozen people nearby. Under the condition that their physical strength was not exhausted, if they wanted to forcefully stop the other party, they could only continuously send soldiers to consume their physical strength with their lives.

Gaddis had no other choice. He could only replace one squadron with another squadron when they were about to lose. He barely managed to preserve their will to fight and prevent their morale from completely collapsing.

This was the limit of what he could do.

The 3rd Squadron quickly began to retreat.

Wang Fuyu took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward again.

Gaddis silently watched as the team continued to advance, the corners of his mouth trembling. If this continued, the 75th Ranger Regiment's defensive line would be thoroughly broken by the enemy in at most ten minutes.

"General, general."

A colonel from the Rangers came to Gardez angrily and said, "Galileo has given us a new order. That bastard, he actually won't allow us to take another step back! Damn it!"

Not to retreat?

Gaddis clenched his fists tightly and asked calmly, "Why?"

"Galileo said it was now close to the block outside, "If we retreat there, the chances of Lin Xuanyuan and the others escaping will increase. Therefore, we must withstand them. We cannot retreat no matter what. That bastard even said that he is the commander here. We must obey his orders. Otherwise, he will let us know the price of disobeying the military order. He said that this is not a threat!"

Gaddis was silent.

He clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head. No one noticed that this majestic Brigadier General had a desolate look in his eyes when Castroth was still alive.

Galileo is not a threat.

The reason the Raging Flame Assault Division was able to disobey Galileo's orders was because the Raging Flame Division had Major General Bolton. Behind Bolton was a veteran representative like Dabinett who could contend against Yurisses .

But not the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Castroth was already dead in battle. With the Rangers helpless, if they disobeyed the military order, there would be no one to support them.

Moreover, the 75th Rangers could not retreat a single step. This was not even Galileo's intention. At the very least, Yurisses would definitely acquiesce to this order.

And all of this was because of his current status.

Gaddis smiled bitterly. At this moment, he seemed to understand a lot of things.

Yurisses was going to give up the 75th Rangers. There was almost no suspense. Even if there were no other special reasons, Yurisses would still make this decision.

Because of his uncertainty.

After Kaslott's death, the small group he founded still existed. Although the group was in a state of chaos, sooner or later, a new leader would be chosen.

He was in charge of the 75th Ranger Regiment. Even though his rank wasn't high, his strength was strong. He was very likely to become the new leader of the group.

This group established by Castroth wasn't very powerful, but it was at least a force that represented the voice of the US military.

When Castroth was here, the group was completely loyal to the United States and to the President.

But what about after Castroth died?

Even if the new leader is still the president and America, he may not remain loyal to Yurisses.

Yurisses's position was on the verge of collapse, at a time when he was at his most sensitive, so he would never allow the group that Castroth had established to continue to exist.

Because even if the group remains loyal to him, when he steps down, their loyalty will immediately become the new president instead of continuing to serve Yurisses .

This kind of power, which was not in his hands, had already become the target of the various forces. Yurisses , who was in an unstable position, was not confident in winning over them, so he would simply destroy them.

In any case, this is much better than the group joining Dabinett or anyone else's camp.

Perhaps this group had some grudges with other powers, but politics was politics. Now that Kaslott was dead, there was nothing that could not be changed. As long as they had enough chips, this group could join another force.

And Yurisses ...

After forcefully approving the appointment of Marshal Earlaen , what the president lacked the most was heavyweight chips.

He couldn't take it out, so he simply didn't take anything.

Gaddis suddenly wanted to laugh.

He raised his head and looked at Rice Army who was fighting desperately not far away. Looking at the battlefield filled with blood, he suddenly had an unreal feeling.

Now that the United States was at war, Yurisses, as president, was still thinking of internal strife at a time when the United States was facing an unprecedented threat.

This was too ridiculous. It was simply ridiculous.

Gaddis took a deep breath and looked around at his subordinates.

Several high-ranking officers of the Rangers were also looking at him, waiting for his decision.

These people had been with his trusted subordinates for many years...

They're all brothers.

Retreat? Or not?

This question is no longer important.

Gaddis chuckled and finally made a decision.

"Ramillon."

Gaddis called out calmly.

"General, I'm here."

The colonel who had passed Galileo's order to Gardez took a step forward, his tone still respectful.

"Order everyone to retreat now. There's no point fighting anymore. This is not a war we should participate in. This time, we've come the wrong way."

Gaddis whispered.

"General!"

Lamillon was slightly shocked and hesitated, "But... Galileo's orders..."

"I know, but now, we don't need to think about the consequences. I can guarantee that there won't be any consequences if you retreat with your men."

Gaddis said calmly. He stretched out his hand and pulled open a button on his clothes. Before Lamiran could react, he directly crushed the button and poured the powder into his mouth.

"General!!!"

Lamiran's expression changed drastically. He subconsciously rushed over and grabbed Gaddis's palm, but the buttons had already shattered, and the powder had already been poured into Gaddis's mouth.

"No! No!!! Bastard! Gaddis, you bastard!!! Why?!"

'"Spit it out, spit it out immediately!! Bastard!!" Lamiran's eyes turned red as he grabbed Gaddis's collar tightly.

"It can't change anything, man, you know."

Gaddis smiled as he looked at his old brother who had followed him for many years and whispered, "Follow my last order and retreat."

"The 75th Ranger Regiment is an elite force that can withstand any test. As long as I die, your value will be fully displayed. In other words, you will become a piece of fat meat. Everyone will want to get fat meat. At that time, no one will pursue the consequences of seeing a ghost."

Gaddis whispered. He pointed in the direction of Yurisses and Galileo and said calmly, "They want me dead, not to destroy the 75th Rangers. I won't allow anyone to destroy my troops, so, man, this is the best outcome."

"No... No..."

Lamiran shook his head. The burly colonel's face was covered in tears in the blink of an eye, and his expression was extremely painful.

He knew what Gaddis had just eaten.

That was the Heavenly Kingdom Medicine!

The Rice Army's only high-grade genetic potion could instantly multiply the combat strength of anyone below the Paragon level.

The effect is half an hour.

After the effects of the medicine had passed, those who consumed it would undoubtedly die!

Indeed, none of this could be changed.

"After I die, Yurisses will send people back to control the Rangers, as long as you cooperate, the Rangers will always exist, but I estimate that the process will not be too smooth, Yurisses wants this unit, don't the others want it? Haha, fighting between dragons and tigers. However, the Rangers are very likely to fall into Atlas's hands. Hey, Wang Fuyu's strength has recovered very bafflingly. Atlas suffered heavy losses. Under such circumstances, how could our president not give him some chips? "The Rangers are a good bargaining chip. However, this has nothing to do with you. You are warriors of the United States and soldiers. You should not be involved in the power game. So, live well and stop talking nonsense. Ramillan, retreat."

Gaddis said slowly. His voice was getting faster and faster, and his face was flushed red. He looked exceptionally ferocious.

Lamiran stared at Gaddis in a daze and didn't say a word.

"Bastard! Get lost! Look over there! Wang Fuyu is slaughtering our troops! Do you want him to die? Retreat! Fuck, retreat immediately!"

"Bang!"

Gaddis' expression was rough as he kicked Lamiran into the rain.

The warm liquid instantly soaked Ramillon's hands.

Lamiran clenched his teeth and stood up. He looked deeply at Gaddis and suddenly howled, "Retreat!!! All Rangers, retreat! Leave the battlefield!!"

Everyone in the 75th Ranger Regiment was stunned.

For many years, taking orders had become their habit. Hearing Lamiran's howl, everyone immediately began to retreat.

Wang Fuyu continued to charge forward, and with a flash of sword light, another special forces soldier of the Ranger Regiment was split into two.

Gaddis' breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and an abnormal red tide appeared on his face.

An endless stream of special forces from the Rangers passed by him.

A frenzied and peculiar smile gradually appeared on the face of the brigadier general as he walked towards Wang Fuyu step by step.

An unprecedented amount of energy surged in his body. Gaddis was trying to adjust his state, and his pace was getting faster and faster.

Another special forces soldier fell under the Heavenly Punishment Sword.

Gaddis began to run wildly with large strides!

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides began to narrow.

Twenty meters.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

"Wang Fuyu, I'm coming!"

Gaddis roared and his body appeared in front of Wang Fu Yu. He grabbed the soldier closest to him and threw him behind him. At the same time, he punched Wang Fu Yu's chest fiercely.

This was his strongest power.

It was also the last bit of power!

There was only one punch!

Wang Fuyu suddenly raised his eyes. His gaze was cold and clear. In that instant, Gaddis could clearly see his own shadow in the other party's pupils.

Then, the Heavenly Punishment was raised.

Landing.

Unparalleled. Thousand Autumn Tribulation!

The 475 th Sword.

The turbulent sword light flashed and disappeared.

Large amounts of blood suddenly began to splatter.

Gaddis, who was soaring into the air, fell to the ground.

The blade of the sword sliced through his body from top to bottom, and his fist was less than two centimeters away from Wang Fuyu.

A miss is as good as a mile.

After consuming the Heavenly Nation Potion, Gaddis' strength doubled. He had almost reached the level of a top X-class expert, but he was still instantly killed by Wang Fuyu's sword strike.

There was no suspense.

The 475th Sword of the Thousand Autumn Tribulation.

Wang Fuyu's strength had almost increased by five to six times, and there weren't many people in the entire Dark World who could resist this attack.

"Cough cough …"

Gaddis' body stiffened. He opened his mouth, and large mouthfuls of blood gushed out from his mouth. Not only his mouth, but also his forehead and chest began to burst out with blood.

But he still tried to stand, clenched his fists, and stretched forward...

One centimeter, two centimeters...

The tightly clenched fist finally touched Wang Fuyu's chest, but this time, it no longer had any strength.

He's dead.

Gaddis seemed to be stunned for a moment, then his entire body split into two and fell into the rain in the opposite direction.

"Let's go."

Wang Fuyu said calmly.

He did not continue to pursue the retreating 75th Ranger Regiment's Special Forces.

The reason for that was because he knew that the moment Gaddis' corpse fell at his feet, the third line of defense that had blocked them had already collapsed.

Wang Fuyu smiled gently and clenched his sword once again. He only used 400 swords. He still had enough strength left.

So...

"Continue."

Wang Fuyu said and continued forward!

...
