Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 319 - 319 319 Surprise

319: Chapter 319: Surprise 319: Chapter 319: Surprise The Red Ghost Mecha’s twin engines roared to life, causing the entire mecha to shake violently.

It then exploded towards Su Mo with a terrifying speed.

“General, wait for us!”

The subordinates encircling the area shouted in panic upon seeing Gegil rush forward.

Unfortunately, Gegil was not listening at all; his eyes were fixated solely on Su Mo, as he let out a roar akin to a wild beast.

“Die!

Spiral Gun Kill!”

Su Mo’s pupils contracted as he held his breath.

His hands swiftly inputted a plethora of commands as the Slaughter Blade charged forward at high speed, executing an unbelievable dodge like a ghostly apparition.

The ferocious crimson Spiral Spear grazed by the head of his mecha, leaving behind alarming streaks from the sweeping air pressure.

One can only imagine how dire the outcome would have been had the spear found its mark.

But there were no ifs, and Su Mo successfully avoided the attack, immediately striking back with a vicious counter-slash on the Red Ghost Mecha.

Sparks flew everywhere!

The two mechas crossed paths, with the Red Ghost Mecha dropping to one knee.

“Bastard!”

Gegil felt extremely frustrated, hammering the control panel.

The gap between them widened the more they fought.

Su Mo didn’t bother with him any longer.

Instead, he maneuvered the mecha with an abrupt, swift turn, sending snowflakes swirling across the ground as he charged directly towards a Second Generation mecha that was closing in.

Striking with the speed of lightning, his blade swept at the mecha’s back engine, annihilating it.

The mecha didn’t halt, darting like the wind, and swiftly met another Red Armor Mecha.

His beam saber, with exquisite precision, pierced directly into the opposing cockpit, causing a spectacular explosion.

After dealing with two mechas, Su Mo forced the control stick with an unreasonable demeanor, leveraging the Slaughter Blade’s massive frame and terrifying momentum to crash into the side of another Second Generation Red Armor Mecha, which was sent flying in a pitiful arc.

…

Struggling to get up, Gegil controlled the Red Ghost Mecha just in time to witness a breath-taking scene: the Second Generation mechas that had come with him were nearly cut down by half in just a short while.

Although there was a significant performance gap between the Second and Third Generation mechas, this was still too exaggerated.

“Damn it!”

Yet at this moment, Su Mo, who was on a killing spree, wasn’t having an easy time either.

He turned his head to glance around and saw more and more Green Shield Mechas encircling him, too many to kill.

Then he checked on his own teammates, with only a few scattered ones still resisting.

His breathing grew more rapid, his strength and spirit being rapidly consumed by the intense high-speed operations.

Even heroes have their end; this is it.

No matter how strong one is, there comes a time when they’re totally spent.

The seemingly effortless battles from before were nothing but a last struggle.

At this time, anxious voices from the commanding captains of various positions continuously transmitted through the communication channel.

“The front line, the Fourteenth Battalion has lost nearly half.”

“The right wing line is being breached by the enemy, requesting support.”

…

Inside the command vehicle, Xiao Wen listened to the constant flow of reports.

His hands, clasped behind his back, involuntarily formed fists while Lin Yue and others watched him with growing anxiety.

Xiao Wen remained silent, making no strategic adjustments whatsoever.

In a moment where everyone became increasingly desperate, the calm center of the Skyline Canal was suddenly disturbed; water splashed aside as the colossal figure of the mechanical war weapon Deep Sea Fury, constructed entirely of pitch-black steel and studded with dark launch tubes like a grim Deep Sea Giant Beast, emerged.

Various submarines also surfaced in its wake.

The next second!

Bang, bang!

The Deep Sea Fury powered up to full strength.

Its vast frame glowed with a sinister red light; countless black launch tubes opened their hatches and thousands of missiles were ejected.

The surrounding submarines followed suit, launching missiles of their own.

Missiles filled the skies, turning into streaks of light raining down upon the enemy forces like a tide.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Screams rang out as flesh and mechanical debris flew in every direction.

For a moment, the players of the Joint Forces were dumbfounded.

What was happening?

Players on Xiao Wen’s side turned to look behind them at the Skyline Canal, only to see a convoy of ships advancing in formation, shamelessly unleashing another barrage of artillery fire upon the Free United Forces.

They were completely stunned by the attack.

Lord Putmi, upon witnessing this scene, immediately realized the situation.

Finally understanding why Xiao Wen’s troops were not retreating to Wushi City, he bellowed, “Charge!

Stop them!”

No sooner had he spoken than a missile from the sky exploded nearby with a resounding blast.

Dust flew up, covering Lord Putmi from head to toe.

“Protect Lord Putmi!”

His subordinates rushed over from all around, creating chaos at the scene.

Then, the crisp voice of Jiang Hanqiu came through all of our comms.

“Sorry, Commander Xiao Wen, we ran into a bit of trouble on the way and arrived slightly later than planned.”

“No worries, you arrived at just the right time.

I’ll leave the next steps to you.”

“No problem, I’ve got the transportation ships ready to take you all across the river!” Jiang Hanqiu replied with certainty.

Xiao Wen then announced to everyone, “The Fourth Battalion, Seventh Battalion, Eighth Battalion…

Hold the line and cover us, everyone else discard any weapons and transport vehicles you can’t take, quickly board the transportation ships unfettered.

We’re crossing to the other side of the river!”

“Understood!”

The troops responded in unison.

Su Mo was shocked when he heard Xiao Wen’s orders.

Was this sending them to certain doom?

Yet, amidst his shock, he still controlled his mecha to turn around and charge back into the fray.

At the same time, Qian Chengxue also issued the order to retreat.

“Retreat!”

A large number of troops began pulling back towards the Skyline Canal, with Jiang Hanqiu’s ships firing relentlessly without concern for ammunition, bringing down sky fighter jets one after another and intercepting incoming missiles.

The onslaught of the Free United Forces faltered under the overwhelming artillery coverage, making it difficult for them to advance even an inch.

“Hurry, drop those heavy weapons, don’t try to take everything onto the ships!”

“Leave that armored vehicle behind!”

“Abandon all tanks!

Prioritize preserving the mechas!”

…

In about three hours, most of the troops had retreated onto the transportation ships and were being ferried to the other side of the river.

As for Su Mo and Qian Chengxue, they simply activated their mechas and skimmed low over the water’s surface to cross.

From high above, Su Mo, giving the Deep Sea Fury a few more glances, finally understood Xiao Wen’s entire plan.

Since the fall of Wushi Fortress, he had been seeking help from Jiang Hanqiu.

Their relationship was already strong, which explained this scene.

Under normal circumstances, they should have retreated from the battlefield along with Jiang Hanqiu.

But now, they were forced into a fierce battle, heading into enemy territory to wage a guerrilla war.

Lord Putmi watched his prey slip through his fingers right before his eyes, trembling with rage, yet there was nothing he could do.

After all, the enemy still held a nuclear bomb in hand, and he dared not commit his ace troops to the fight.
