Chapter 983: Chapter 530: Kick Their Asses_2

This place, below is empty.

If the mobile troops can take down these two Furyflame, that would be the best and most stable outcome; if not, lure them here for the next action.

The engineer brigade within the unit had long calculated the explosives and detonation points needed to collapse this area.

Now, it is time to execute.

“Explode it! Explode it now!” He grabbed the intercom.

“But… our people haven’t fully evacuated…” The officer leading the engineers on the frontline hesitated somewhat.

“No time to worry about that! Explode it! If it doesn’t explode now, the sacrifices in front will be in vain!”

The decision was made because of Furyflame’s keen judgment–they were withdrawing from this trap area.

Can’t let them escape!

Under the clear orders, the frontline commander gritted his teeth and made the decision.

The explosives were detonated, boom!

Beneath the soaring fire and smoke was the violent sound of the explosion and the loud noise from the collapse of buildings and floors.

When the smoke cleared, the place where the two Furyflame were besieged had become a ruin.

But Xiong Lei still felt it wasn’t secure enough.

The power of the Interstellar Warriors left a deep impression on him.

The explosion brought down the place, and people were buried, but… are they really dead?

Xiong Lei couldn’t guarantee.

After pondering for a moment, for safety’s sake, he still employed his backup tactics.

The Sentinel Mecha and Feedback-Type Power Armor were fewer in the division, but there were still plenty of tanks.

The surrounding area was cleared, and after a wave of explosions, a lot of vacant land was left, just right for parking tanks.

In the defense battles of the fortress, heavy armor vehicles like tanks didn’t have much room to perform, so it was better to use them here.

Led by a few Lion King Tanks, dozens of Lion Tanks took positions, forming a circle with a large number of infantry in the vicinity.

Guard the bodies.

Two days later, they actually got some results.

Another three Fury Flame Warriors attacked the place.

That was definitely abnormal.

This spot wasn’t any strategic defensive point, and it was guarded by heavy vehicles. No matter how thick the Interstellar Warriors’ armor was, it wasn’t thicker than a Lion Tank, let alone compared to a mobile fortress like a Lion King Tank; the main guns, secondary guns of these two types of tanks could deliver fatal blows to Interstellar Warriors. Even if not directly hit, just a near enough explosion could cause considerable damage.

They had no reason to attack here unless the two buried Furyflame weren’t really dead, and they came to rescue their companions.

And then, from the ruins, one Furyflame indeed crawled out.

Upon receiving the news, Xiong Lei felt goosebumps–Interstellar Warriors are too hard to kill!

These were still two ordinary Interstellar Warriors.

Really can’t imagine how, in that ‘Desperate Blood Duel’ which previously seemed so thrilling when heard, those dozens of warriors, known as the elite of the Fury Flame Battle Group, were slaughtered clean.

Too unimaginable!

But luckily, only one crawled out from the ruins, and he was severely injured.

The three Fury Flame who came to the rescue couldn’t break through the tank encirclement. They used Plasma Guns, destroyed two Lion Tanks, and severely damaged one Lion King. But it was precisely this Lion King that, with its onboard heavy gun, gave the three Fury Flame Warriors a vicious blow.

They had clearly hidden behind walls, yet this shot still blasted the entire wall into pieces, injuring one of the Furyflame. The follow-up secondary gunfire claimed his life.

Meanwhile, the Furyflame who crawled out from the ruins was pinned down by hordes of infantry. He went on a killing spree but was held in place and couldn’t get out. The Alliance forces, coming to their senses, brought in Sentinel Mecha and Power Armor elites again, ultimately killing this immobilized Furyflame.

Losing one, and knowing that the combat brothers they aimed to rescue had already died inside, the remaining two Furyflame had no reason to continue fighting and ultimately chose to retreat.

No matter how powerful Interstellar Warriors are, they still can’t engage in direct combat with heavy armored units–unless they band together in large numbers with weapons specifically designed to target them.

But these conditions, the two surviving Furyflame did not possess for the moment.

They could only retreat reluctantly.

…

After this battle, Xiong Lei organized the engineers to excavate locally.

After all, there was still one Furyflame buried inside.

Although it was most likely dead, otherwise, when his brothers came to rescue him before, he should have shown himself.

But before seeing the body, he was truly uneasy.

It took three days to dig out the corpse.

Only then did Xiong Lei feel at ease.

Although two Furyflame were still alive, and after their three brothers died, they vented with crazy revenge and subsequently carried out some even more frequent and outrageous actions.

But firstly, their numbers had genuinely decreased from five to two, even if they increased the frequency, it wouldn’t be as fierce as before, and the blows their side endured reduced considerably;

Secondly, where there was one targeted trap before, there would be two now.

Although the other side had also become more vigilant, several ambushes couldn’t kill these two, but for them, each time was still quite dangerous.

Later on, they also had to act more cautiously to avoid capsizing.

This further reduced their attack frequency.

In such a situation, Xiong Lei’s forces even seized the opportunity to recover several areas that had been occupied before, even momentarily driving the rebel troops out of the fortress.
