"Forget about them. Let's continue forward." Allen put away his flames. Now was not the time to stop.
Reese and Sock's team continued forward. It was their responsibility to scout ahead, eliminate the enemy, and discover danger as soon as possible. The Dark Knight Regiment at the back followed Celine's command, ready to support the two hunting squads in front of them at any time. The vanguard team advanced, and the people behind them followed suit. Seeing that the passageway was about to end, Roddy's shout rang out.
"Allen, please answer when you hear me."
Allen replied in his headset, "Uncle Roddy, I'm here."
"Very good, how's the situation on your side?"
"That's smooth. What about you?"
"We just broke through the defensive wall and are now advancing towards the command building." After successfully breaking through the first line of defense, Roddy's tone did not sound the slightest bit happy. Gunshots came from over there. It should be the Fierce Vulture attacking the second line of defense of the base, the camp supported by the command army.
"Uncle Roddy, what happened?"
Roddy said solemnly, "Nothing happened, but the other party's resistance was much weaker than expected." Just now, we only cleaned up a few dozen enemy corpses near the defensive wall. This bit of defensive strength is not worth mentioning at all. According to the intelligence, there are at least 800 troops stationed in this base, but now it seems that not even half of them are stationed. Moreover, we haven't seen a single giant so far. This is too abnormal. "
"What do you mean?"
"It could be a trap to lure us deeper and then surround us with heavy troops. I've already ordered people to investigate, but it's strange that the Catus don't look like people who can play these tricks. "
Allen thought for a moment and said, "I've read the briefing on the battle of the Running Stream Stronghold. The opponent first pretended to attack all the strongholds, then quietly divided his troops, and finally concentrated fire on the Running Stream Stronghold. This kind of tactic doesn't look like something the Catus or the Grai Giants can do. "
"You mean, there's someone else behind them?"
"Uncle Roddy, remember the Chaos Canyon I mentioned to you before? At that time, I saw another alien in the canyon. It was neither a Catu nor a Grai Giant. Therefore, the invasion of the chaotic races is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface. Behind these two alien armies, there might be other people manipulating the entire war. "
Rody took a deep breath through the earpiece and said, "If that is the case, then this is really bad. If we can't figure out who the other party is … Damn it, we have already taken down the defensive line of the barracks. We're about to enter the command center. Allen, you guys should hurry up and meet up with us. I feel like something's wrong here. Eh … "
Suddenly, a very sharp sound came from the headset, and Allen almost dropped it to the ground. After the voice disappeared, Allen called out to Roddy, but the communication was cut off.
"What's going on?" Lucy asked.
Allen shook his head. "Let's hurry to the command building. Something must have happened …"
At the end of his sentence, Reese screamed in his headset, "Not good, head. Hurry up and retreat. There's a bomb here. Damn it, it's too late! "
Suddenly, flames flashed in the passageway in front of them, followed by a loud explosion that instantly spread throughout the passageway. The muffled sound shook everyone's chest, and the waves of fire chased after them. For a moment, explosions sounded everywhere in the passageway. Allen subconsciously hugged Lucy and pounced on the ground. Then, his back was boiling hot, and the waves of fire whistled past his body, falling in along with the falling rocks. The passageway shook non-stop, the walls cracked and deformed, the pillars broke and collapsed, and the scene fell into chaos.
Allen didn't know that it wasn't just the passageway that exploded. In fact, pillars of fire sprayed out from everywhere in the supply base. Obviously, the enemy had buried explosives everywhere in the base and detonated them at the same time after luring the human army deep in. The explosion affected the defensive wall, the barracks, the command building, the warehouse, the electrical room, and so on. Almost the entire base was engulfed in a sea of fire, especially the power unit, which produced continuous explosions and even exploded into fireballs.
The loud explosion spread dozens of kilometers away, and even though it was far away, one could clearly see a pillar of fire rising from the direction of the base!
A broken rock was pushed away by Allen. He stood up from the rubble and pulled Lucy up. Both of them only suffered some scratches on their bodies. Fortunately, the supply base was sturdy enough that the structure was still intact under the impact of such an explosion, which prevented the passageway from completely collapsing. Otherwise, Allen and the others wouldn't have been as simple as scratches. They would have been buried alive.
At this moment, there were piles of rubble and soil everywhere, and there were still remnants of flames struggling to burn. However, a section of the wall in front of them had been blown up, and the falling rocks blocked the way. Allen pulled Lucy and shouted, "Is everyone alright?"
Not far away, a pile of rocks suddenly exploded, and Hubble stood up with his machete in hand. He shook his head and cursed, "These damn rocks almost knocked me unconscious."
At this moment, more people came out of the pile of rocks and gradually gathered around Allen. Allen counted. One of the Red Warriors was hit by a falling stone, and three of the Adjudicators and Silver Heavenly Horses were killed. Most of the others were only slightly injured. An unlucky fellow had his leg broken, and now Lucy and Belmond were bandaging his wounds. Allen contacted Reese again. The situation in the vanguard was more serious.
Fortunately, Luma had pulled him in time to avoid being killed on the spot. However, Christine had fainted from the impact of the explosion. Fortunately, her life was not in danger. Three people died on the Shadow Bobcat's side, and Sock was sent flying by the explosion. Although he didn't die, half of his body was burned by the flames. Two people from the Black Knight side had also died. Celine's left hand was seriously injured, and her combat strength had been reduced.
In this way, half of the vanguard team had died, and the rest were all injured.
"Now that the passageway has been cut off, we can only retreat first." Allen said in his headset, "You and Celine should follow the original route to the command building to meet up with the army."
"That's the only way" Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the headset. Reese shouted, "We're in trouble."
"Enemy?"
"Yes, but not Catus. Oh, bastard, stay away from me. "The voice in the headset sounded like Reese was moving quickly. He had no time to talk, so the communication was cut off.
Allen stood up and said, "The situation is not good. Let's get out of here quickly. Hubble, can you carry that wounded man on your back? "
He pointed at the unlucky man with a broken leg, and the Catus walked over without a word, lifted him up with one hand, and carried him on their shoulders. Allen nodded and said to the red-armored man beside him, "Gubang, come with me. Notch, tell your men to break off. The others and the seriously injured are in the middle. Out. "
Allen walked at the front, and Xue Yin and Zhi Yan came to his hands. He held his saber in his right hand and his spear in his left, fully sensing the movements in the passageway ahead. Beside him was Gubang, a strict man like a medieval Knight. He held a scarlet shield in his left hand, which protected the important parts of his body. He held a warhammer in his right hand, and strands of red lines lit up on the surface of the warhammer from time to time.
The remaining four red warriors followed behind them. The four of them spread out a little, forming a human wall for the people behind them.
The team retreated along the path they had come from. After passing through two crossroads, Allen felt a sense of alarm.
"Be careful!" He shouted softly and ordered the team to stop. Although there was nothing in his field of vision, the danger signal was constantly increasing.
At this moment, the Adjudicator electronics expert screamed, "They're behind the wall!"
Almost at the same time that he was unaware, the walls on both sides exploded at the same time. As the rocks flew everywhere, Allen saw a tall figure emerge from each side. If he didn't look at his head, he would have thought it was a Catu. They were also nearly three meters tall, and their bodies were equally strong. However, their skin was greenish-gray, and their surfaces were covered in bulging blood vessels. As for their heads, these two monsters each had three heads, but the two on the left and right had no eyes. They only had a large mouth that was split to the side of their ears. A snake-like tongue drilled out from the inside, and there was even a mouthpiece that looked like a sandworm at the front. There were three rows of eyes on the middle head, two eyeballs in each row. The strange face with six eyeballs had no mouth, only a few nostrils.
The humanoid monster that couldn't be named dragged a two-meter-long rough sledgehammer in its hand. The hammer was wrapped in chains and tied to their arms and chests. The two monsters broke through the wall and smashed their hammers towards Allen and Gubang. Behind them, the long-haired exotic beast, the one-eyed strange man, and the multi-headed strange lizard continuously emerged from the gap in the wall and pounced towards the team.
The battle suddenly began. Allen and Gubang each dealt with a three-headed giant, while the others were left to the people behind them. The three-headed giant's strength was not small. It swung its giant hammer, creating a terrifying wind pressure, and smashed it down on Allen's head. Allen's figure flashed and flashed under the hammer. The warhammer landed on the ground, exploding countless rubble, but it did not injure Allen in the slightest. The blood in Allen's hand drew a mournful red light. The giant's two arms shone with a bloody light and were cut off by Allen from the forearm.
The giant screamed miserably and retreated. The long tongues in his left and right mouths popped out and bit at Allen.
Allen sprinted, bounced up, and jumped under the giant's head. Blazing Flame pointed down, aiming at the head in the middle, and a Blazing Flame Bullet shot into it. The giant's body seemed to have risen into a fireball. After its body expanded slightly, flames sprayed out from its eyes and mouth. Then, its upper body suddenly exploded, and the blazing flames in its body poured out. Landing back on the ground, Allen looked back. Gubang was still fighting with the three-headed giant, while the red warrior intercepted a few exotic beasts and one-eyed eccentrics. Belmore and Regis protected the two wings of the team. Dark flames and starlight flickered, killing the exotic beasts that dared to cross the border on the spot.
