When the 1,000 soldiers and police soldiers were determined to die and charged forward without any hesitation, the gap between the two sides’combat standards was revealed.

Although the uprising army had the advantage in numbers, the untrained militia was still a militia. They could not compare to the combat strength of a regular army. Just the coordination of the cannons was enough to show the huge gap.

On the uprising Army’s side, the coordination of the infantry and artillery was only started after the artillery finished firing. If they charged too early, they might be injured by the artillery. However, if they were slower by half a beat, although they would not be injured.., however, this delay also gave the opponent time to react. Although they were suppressed by the cannon fire, once the cannon fire stopped, they would return to their shooting positions. When the infantry charged.., the enemy would be able to continue fighting back, and it would still cause more casualties.

However, the military and police side was different. After long-term training, they had a shocking tacit understanding. Hence, when the infantry coordinated with the cannon fire, the sound of the cannon fire had yet to fade, but the infantry had already begun charging forward, moreover, the location of the cannonball was very accurate, and it almost did not cause any accidental injuries to the charging infantry. This way, it did not give the uprising army time to react, many of the uprising army soldiers were blocked behind the bunkers and shot to death by the military police.

Previously, because the military police did not have the heart to fight, the uprising army did not feel too much pressure when they fought with the military police. On the contrary, they relied on their numerical advantage and had never actually lost a battle, this also gave the uprising army poor the illusion that the military police were not powerful. They were all paper tigers.

However, today, the military police who had truly shown their might had given these poor members of the uprising army a good lesson. They had learned what it meant to be professional!

Especially when the Mecha Corps of the military police force had joined the battle, the battlefield had even shown a crushing stance.

Although many of the military police’s mecha had been destroyed by the uprising army in the warehouse, Kono’s army still retained more than 50 power mechas, these huge steel beasts, which were covered in weapons, were used to the fullest by the military and police. Every time they took the lead to charge, they could tear apart the rebel army’s defensive line.

“Not good… the mechas are charging up…”

“Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!”

..

After all, the soldiers of the rebel army were not real soldiers. They were very brave when they won the battle, but once the battle fell into a passive state, or when the battle situation was clearly disadvantageous, these poor people were born.., the soldiers who had not gone through strict training would immediately stop fighting.

The instinctive space in their hearts began to drive the soldiers of the uprising army, making them involuntarily fall back!

Those who had been soldiers all knew that there was a saying that said that the defeat of an army was like the collapse of a mountain, and the defeated army was like a flood! The meaning was that once there was a defeat, it would be like a flood. It would flow for thousands of miles, and no one would be able to stop it. Moreover, if anyone dared to stop it, they would definitely be washed away by the flood!

This was the case for the soldiers of the uprising army. They were frightened by the ferocious charge of the military police. One by one, they turned around and ran. This made Varian and the other generals of the uprising army extremely anxious. However, they were unable to stop the rout at all.

The uprising army, which had already compressed the military police to the vicinity of the city hall, suddenly suffered a rout on the Eastern Front. Moreover, it was a thousand miles away. This caused the military police force to directly approach the temporary command center on the Eastern Front, which was located to the northeast of the city hall.

“Boom Boom Boom Boom…”the sound of the cannons rumbled, shaking the tents of the temporary command center.

“Boom!”An energy cannon hit the buildings near the command center. The Earth and rocks shattered and smashed into the tents of the command center, making a crashing sound.

“Miss, let’s Retreat First!”Varian advised.

“No! I’m Right Here! Order the troops to resist resolutely! Stop Them!”Lena said with a determined look.

“Miss, four-fifths of our troops have been defeated. The few people we have can’t stop the enemy at all. Why don’t we retreat first, and after we’ve gathered our troops, we’ll make a comeback!”Varian advised.

“We can’t retreat. Once we retreat, the troops will be completely defeated, and the warriors from other directions will also be in chaos. When that happens, the consequences will be unimaginable!”Lina said.

“But…”before Varian could finish his words, an energy cannon interrupted him.

“Boom!”This energy cannon exploded not far from the tent. The Earth and rocks that flew up even overturned a corner of the tent.

“Miss, quickly retreat! The enemy is coming up soon!”Varian called out.

“But…”Lina still did not want to leave. At that moment, she had a very complicated feeling in her heart. It was not that she did not know that it was best to retreat for now. However, deep in her heart, she had a thought that she should just die. Because if that was the case.., she would not have to meet Jiang Fei as an enemy anymore.

“Men, bring the lady to the back!”At that moment, Varian had no time to explain. He directly ordered his personal guards to go forward. He carried Lina and ran to the back.

“Lady, don’t worry. I will do my best to stop the enemy!”Varian’s eyes were filled with determination. He loved Lina. He was willing to sacrifice everything for her, even his life!

Lina was forcefully taken away from the back while Varian led his own guard battalion with a total of more than 300 people in charge of stopping Kono’s military police unit!

Varian’s Guard battalion could already be considered as the elites among the elites of the uprising army. Not only was their morale high, but their equipment was also the most luxurious. The guard battalion of more than 300 people actually had close to 100 energy cannons.

However, even such a troop had a one-sided ending in the instant they exchanged fire with the military police. Although the soldiers of the guards battalion were not afraid of death, what they relied on was nothing more than hot blood.., in the face of the military police’s frontal assault and roundabout attack, they were quickly surrounded. In the end, all of them, including Varian, died on the battlefield!

Lina, who had been forced to retreat, heard the gunshots behind her gradually die down. She had already guessed Varian’s ending. Although she had never expressed anything, it was impossible for Lina not to know Varian’s feelings towards her, hence, after knowing that Varian had died in battle, Lina could not help but cry.

“Bzz!”

“Ta ta ta ta…”

..

The mecha forces of the military police were chasing closely. The truck that Lina was riding on could not shake off the opponent at all. Furthermore, the military police forces were acting like they had gone crazy. They were chasing after Lina closely.

Seeing that the distance between the mecha forces and the convoy was getting closer and closer, Lina’s heart was extremely sad. She had thought that victory was in sight. In the end, she did not expect that Kono’s last-ditch counterattack had completely defeated her army.

“Is it because I haven’t learned his essence? If it was him, he would definitely not have come to the front line command center…”Lina muttered to herself, at this moment, the troops under her command had already been scattered. It was impossible for anyone to rush out to save her.
