Lori's speed was not fast, but it was just enough for Gao Qi to keep up with her.
The short 200-meter walk took a full five minutes before Gao Qi finally said, "Let's stop."
The enemies in the farm had not made any mistakes so far, but it was useless even if they did not. In the end, they still had to rely on their absolute strength.
Gao Qi pointed at a house. The fireball in the sky that acted as a flare began to descend. It penetrated the house from the side and suddenly exploded into countless small fireballs. These fireballs were extremely hot and quickly ignited everything that could be burned. In just a few dozen seconds, the windows of the house began to emit flames.
Gao Qi took out another energy core. He originally wanted to use an energy core to maintain the light until the end of the battle, but it seemed impossible now. Using magic to attack was much more complicated than just lighting up the house. Naturally, it would consume more energy cores.
Finally, the enemies hiding in the house ran out.
As long as the enemies were not stupid, they would know where to escape to. So, they chose to jump out from the window at the back. But now that Gao Qi had moved, the enemies were sandwiched between them. So, the moment they saw people, gunshots immediately rang out beside Gao Qi.
It was only a few dozen meters, so it was impossible for these assault team members who were skilled with guns to miss. Several guns fired consecutively, killing a total of one enemy behind the house.
Niu Lidong said nervously and excitedly, "I killed two! I must have hit two!"
Gao Qi pointed at the second house. Another flare fell from the sky, and this time, it exploded in a more violent way. Then, before the house was set on fire, the people inside began to scream and run out.
After burning down two houses in a row, the enemies hiding in the houses could not wait any longer. Before Gao Qi could continue to set fire, more people ran out of the houses. In an instant, the once small town, now the farm, was full of people.
The gunshots immediately became more intense. Once the enemies appeared, Gao Qi had nothing to do.
The enemy had more people and stronger firepower. However, the assault team had the upper hand now because the enemy was almost completely blind.
The enemy's position was very scattered, which meant that the enemy was divided. Not only were they unable to effectively counterattack, but they were also unable to regroup.
Night battle, close combat. The Hellfire Commandos did not need to rush over and fight the enemy in the streets. They only needed to completely disrupt the enemy and break their fighting spirit.
If it weren't for Gao Qi, the farm wouldn't have stopped resisting so quickly. However, because of Gao Qi, the enemies knew that there must be a paranormal, and a very powerful one at that. Therefore, the resistance only lasted for a short two minutes, and then some people immediately began to shout and retreat.
However, none of the enemies cried out to surrender, because there were usually no captives in the wilderness. There were only enemies who stubbornly resisted until they died, and enemies who were killed after they put down their guns.
The enemy began to retreat. At this time, it was a competition of who could run faster. The orderly retreat lasted for less than a minute before it turned into a complete rout.
Seeing the enemy begin to flee, Kenny stood up and shouted, "Follow me …"
"Stop!"
Gao Qi shouted. He pulled out his pistol with his right hand and said coldly, "Without my order, no one is allowed to pursue. Discipline!"
Gao Qi had repeatedly ordered everyone to follow his orders. Now, the first person to challenge the discipline had appeared.
If Kenny only shouted to chase after the enemy because of his habit, this was not a problem. Gao Qi could forgive him. However, if Kenny continued to chase after Gao Qi and challenged his command authority, then Gao Qi's next step would be to kill him directly.
Fortunately, after Wang Ke translated Gao Qi's words in time, although Kenny was extremely dissatisfied, he still forcibly withdrew his foot. Then, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Why didn't we chase after them? Now they're all running. "
Gao Qi hesitated for a moment. Then, he decided to explain. So, he said in a deep voice, "Our goal is to occupy the farm and obtain the resources here, not to kill everyone here. Now, listen to my order and advance slowly."
If defeating the enemy could achieve the goal of the battle, then there was no need to pursue the enemy. If the enemy had to be completely annihilated, then it was better to burn the entire farm to the ground than to let a single enemy escape. This logic was actually quite simple, but many people could not do it, because once they started fighting, they would forget what they were supposed to do.
Gao Qi personally led the assault team to the front of a barbed wire fence. Of course, this gate could not block their path, but they had to be more careful with every step they took. They had to absolutely prevent any survivors from hiding in the dark.
The barbed wire fence gate was silently swallowed by the soil and fell down. Gao Qi stepped on the mound of soil and walked into the farm. Then, he pointed at an enemy who was still rolling and crawling on the ground and said, "There's still one alive. Go ask him where the slaves are kept. Kenny, you go!"
Kenny raised his gun and immediately ran towards an enemy who was injured but not dead. He rushed over and stepped on the injured enemy. Then, he pointed his gun at the enemy's head and began to roar.
Gao Qi said to Wang Ke, "Call for the people behind to come over."
Now that the assault team had reached a very bright place, if there were any hiding enemies, they could have already opened fire. However, no one opened fire. Kenny who went out to capture the captives was still alive.
Kenny suddenly crouched down and grabbed the captive's arm. He jogged and dragged the captive to the front of the earthen wall they were hiding behind. Then, he said through the earthen wall, "This guy won't talk. Should we give him something powerful?"
Gao Qi glanced at the captive. He was shot in the abdomen. With the current medical conditions, he should not be able to survive. Therefore, this captive who was captured because of his injury was very stubborn. He knew that he would not survive.
"Ask him where the slaves are, where the supplies are, whatever method you use to make him talk."
Kenny got Gao Qi's approval. He immediately crouched down and pulled out a knife from his waist. Then, he stabbed the captive's thigh and said fiercely, "If you talk, I'll give you a quick death. If you don't, I'll let you die slowly. I'm very interested in torturing a slave snatcher. I can play with you slowly. You choose!"
The captive quickly chose to give up. He looked in a direction and weakly said, "The slaves are all locked up in the shed. Where are the female slaves …."
The captive pointed with great difficulty and continued, "There are a lot of supplies. Where is the ammunition depot? The grain depot is over here. I'll tell you, just kill me!"
