Han Qiong led the 800 elite soldiers, using the Xue Luo Guards as the spearhead, and easily destroyed the troops of Evergreen City. Another 200 Xue Luo Guards continued to chase after the fleeing soldiers, at the same time, another 300 soldiers went to gather the scattered commoners.
Under Han Qiong's efforts, the scattered poor people were finally gathered by her. There were more than a hundred thousand poor people, and it was not easy to gather them all.
One female soldier came up to Han Qiong and reported, "Commander Han, there's a troop 20 li ahead. According to our analysis, there's about 3,000 of them. They should be the reinforcements from Evergreen City."
Another officer beside Han Qiong asked worriedly, "What do we do? Commander, should we retreat first? "
Han Qiong only had 800 soldiers under him, of which 200 were sent to clear up the surrounding Evergreen City troops, while the other 300 were maintaining order. Thus, he could only mobilize another 300.
Han Qiong's eyes flashed with a resolute look, "No! We can't retreat! I'll immediately lead the troops to kill them. You guys continue to maintain order! "
The huge crowd had just gone through a bout of chaos, and over 2,000 commoners had died in the stampede, while another 8,000 had disappeared in the wilderness.
If chaos were to break out again, it would probably cause another uproar among the poor, causing countless people to die in the chaos.
Han Qiong made her decision, and rode her enhanced motorcycle, donning her Type 3 Battle Suit, and wielding her Battle Spear, she led the 300 Xue Luo Guards as well as the 2 Reapers, charging forward like an arrow.
The speed of the enhanced motorcycle was terrifying, and the 20 li distance was covered quickly. Han Qiong could see 3,000 soldiers with laser guns on their backs, seated in transport vehicles, making their way over.
Every enhanced motorcycle was embedded with a Type 2 Core Crystal, and not every soldier could use such a transportation tool. To ordinary troops, the transport vehicles were their main mode of transportation.
"Attack!!"
Han Qiong charged into the firing range, and immediately controlled her enhanced motorcycle to fire out laser beams at the transport vehicles.
The experienced Xue Luo Guards also activated their enhanced motorcycles and fired out laser beams at the vehicles.
Under the bombardment of the laser beams, the armored personnel carriers were riddled with scars and holes. Many soldiers were also pierced by the laser beams, resulting in death or injury.
At this moment, the flaw or even the weakness of the laser weapons was revealed. Although the laser weapons had tyrannical penetrative power, they were unable to blast a transport vehicle into smithereens like heavy artillery.
This flaw was quickly made up for by the two Reapers that rushed over from the rear. As soon as the shoulder armor of the two Reapers opened up, automatic missiles rained down on the armored personnel carriers.
Every single automatic missile blasted into the armored personnel carrier, causing an earth-shattering explosion, engulfing the armored personnel carrier along with the soldiers inside.
The two Reapers were like two moving cannons. Dozens of armored personnel carriers were blasted into pieces the moment they came into contact with them. Countless soldiers were torn to shreds.
"Reaper!! It was a Reaper! Why were there Reapers here? Damn it!! "
"Retreat! Retreat!! "
"… …"
Faced with such a sudden attack, the troops crumbled. Their casualty rate had risen to over 30% under Han Qiong's sudden attack. They were just an ordinary troop that had not experienced many battles. Facing such a high casualty rate, their morale had already crumbled.
A large number of soldiers threw down their armor and fought for the vehicles as they fled frantically, leaving behind their equipment and supplies. Even the heavy trucks that they had been guarding were abandoned.
Han Qiong looked at the fleeing troops and heaved a sigh of relief. She had used 300 people to launch a sneak attack on 3,000 soldiers, and she was also under immense pressure. Had her ambush failed, the fate of these hundreds of thousands of refugees would be bleak.
This time, Han Qiong had obtained victory mainly because of the advantage of the ambush. Especially the two Reapers, under Bai Yi's guidance, accurately destroyed most of the enemy's transport vehicles, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy. This pierced through the enemy's psychological bottom line, causing the enemy to quickly collapse and flee.
Han Qiong looked at the crumbling soldiers and came to an understanding, "These shouldn't be reinforcements, but guards. They're here to protect the things inside the vehicles. "
Han Qiong swiftly came to one of the heavily guarded heavy trucks and opened it up to take a look. He sucked in a breath of cold air, and his eyes flashed with joy.
Inside the extended heavy-duty trucks, there were Reapers lying quietly. There were 30 heavy trucks here, which meant that there were 30 Reapers.
The combat strength of the Reapers was shocking, but at the same time, it was extremely difficult to manufacture. Many of the key inscriptions and components on their bodies required rare metals that were extremely rare. Many components even required materials from specific Type 5 Mutant Beasts to be manufactured.
The entire Cloud Region could only produce 5 Reapers in a year. This batch of 30 Reapers was equivalent to 6 years of production in Cloud Region.
Han Qiong quickly grabbed one of the captives and asked in detail, "Where are you guys going with this batch of goods?"
The captive replied honestly, "Our goods are to be transported to the Capital!"
"Did the higher-ups tell you guys that these are Reapers?"
"No, they only wanted us to escort them to the Capital."
"Do you know where they're coming from?"
"Not sure."
Han Qiong gathered a few more captives and questioned them, but she did not get any concrete information. She decided to give up, instead, reporting everything she knew to Yue Zhong.
"Is something about to happen?"
When he heard this report, his sharp senses told him that something was about to happen in the Capital. However, he was at the 20th Xue Luo Fort, and had no idea what was happening at the Capital.
At the same time, a sense of urgency welled up in Yue Zhong's heart. He did not know where this sense of urgency came from, but he vaguely felt that if he stayed here any longer, he might make an irreversible mistake.
"Seems like I have to go take a look myself."
Yue Zhong quickly made his decision, and after assigning a series of tasks, he headed towards the direction of the Capital alone.
The distance between the Capital and Blood Red City was a few thousand li, spanning over a dozen cities. If he were to deploy an army, it would only be blocked. It was unknown how long it would take to reach the Capital.
Yue Zhong disguised himself as a soldier of Evergreen City, and under the guise of carrying out his duties, he rode an enhanced motorcycle, traveling a thousand li in a day. After 3 days, he arrived near the Capital.
"Is that the Capital Capital over there? Truly a miraculous existence. "
Near the Capital, Yue Zhong gazed at the distant Capital, his eyes flashing with a look of praise.
The Capital that was a few li away was a towering city, its outer walls made of superalloy concrete.
On the city walls, there were countless automatic and semi-automatic weapons, as well as a number of semi-circular bunkers around the city walls.
A number of heavy cannons were scattered all over the city wall, and Yue Zhong took a rough look, estimating that there were at least 3,000 of them.
Each of those cannons had a radius of a kilometer, and with 3,000 of them firing, even a Type 6 powerhouse would be blasted to smithereens.
Of course, even though the energy cannons were powerful, they had their flaws as well, and that was the energy consumption. Each round would consume a Type 3 Mutant Beast nucleus. At the same time, they had a cooldown, and could fire one round every minute. If they were to fire at a high speed, there would be an explosion. Even the Imperial Capital did not dare to allow the 3,000 cannons to continue firing without restraint.
Other than the heavy energy cannons, on the walls of the Imperial Capital, there were many fan-shaped laser emitters embedded with dazzling white lenses.
The range of these laser cannons was over 5km, and a single shot could penetrate the body of a Type 5 powerhouse. Furthermore, the most terrifying thing about them was their numbers. On top of the city walls, there were over a hundred thousand of them.
These were just a small portion of the military might of the Capital. Within the Capital, there were still the Raytheon Cannons that could kill even Type 7 powerhouses, as well as other weapons of war.
It was precisely because of this that Wei Ming Qing dared to slaughter the poor without the slightest scruple and use their blood essence to brew blood honey to strengthen himself.
As long as he had control over the Capital, even if a million-strong army were to attack, before the nuclei were depleted, it would be hard to take down this perverse city.
Yue Zhong looked at the city and thought quietly, "It's almost impossible to take down this city from the outside. Only by infiltrating the city can I take it down. "
Although he was sure that only by entering the city could he take down this perverse city, he did not dare to make any strange movements.
These few days, Yue Zhong had observed carefully. The Capital was currently in a state of lockdown, only allowing entry and not exit. No one had ever come out of the city before. Such a strange situation left him at a loss. If he were to barge in, if he were to be forced out, even someone as strong as him might not be able to escape unscathed. (To be continued.
