Chapter 507: Chapter 503 Change Tactics

"You damn little bastards, how dare you bully Old Tom? I’ll make you all die!"

Taotie’s eyes were blood red, holding a gun and unleashing a ruthless "rat-tat-tat," transforming his anger into a barrage of bullets.

With the divine intervention from Fang Xiaocao and Taotie, the Ragnarok Mercenaries were caught off guard, suffering many casualties instantly as they fell in pools of blood.

Whew—

Seeing this scene, Tom breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren’t for the support from Fang Xiaocao and Taotie, Tom felt he might have had a rough day today.

At the very least, he would have been seriously injured.

With the presence of Fang Xiaocao and Taotie, the tug of war with the Ragnarok Mercenaries gave Tom a moment to catch his breath and immediately prepare a counterattack.

Tom reached into his pocket, pulling out the Sprite Ball Bomb, and with a cold smile, activated it.

He aimed at the spot with the most mercenaries and forcefully threw the Sprite Ball Bomb.

The Sprite Ball Bomb flew through the air, landed among the mercenaries, and exploded instantly.

Boom—

A loud explosion followed.

Flames erupted from the midst of the mercenaries.

In an instant, more than a dozen mercenaries were consumed by the explosive fire of the Sprite Ball Bomb.

In a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Severed limbs scattered in all directions.

With the cooperation of Fang Xiaocao, Taotie, and Tom, the forty-odd Ragnarok Mercenaries were quickly wiped out.

As the battle concluded, Fang Xiaocao exhaled a breath of relief.

She looked at Tom, "Are your injuries serious?"

Fang Xiaocao asked with concern.

Tom smiled slightly and shook his head.

"Not too serious, just got bitten once."

"Just a scratch, really."

Tom said cheerfully.

While speaking, he even showed Fang Xiaocao the wound on his arm.

Fang Xiaocao took a closer look herself and, confirming that Tom’s injury wasn’t severe, finally relaxed. However, she still took out a medical kit and personally cleaned and bandaged Tom’s wound before feeling completely assured.

"Princess Your Highness, the Phoenix Clan following me, sacrificed themselves in a hail of bullets to cover my retreat."

Tom said with a slightly somber expression.

"It’s okay."

"It’s just a puppet. If it dies, it dies. We’ll just catch another one later."

Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.

Taotie was stunned, looking at Fang Xiaocao in bewilderment, silently thinking, "Princess Your Highness, that’s not what you said just now!"

"Why is it that when Old Tom loses a Phoenix Clan, it’s no big deal, but when I lose one, I have to go back for a scolding?"

Taotie felt wronged but had nowhere to express it.

Fang Xiaocao glanced at Taotie, and seeing his expression, knew exactly what this silly man was thinking.

So, she gave Taotie a stern glare.

Warning Taotie not to babble senselessly.

Lest he gets a scolding later.

Receiving Fang Xiaocao’s warning look, Taotie poutingly pursed his lips.

"Let’s go find Vermilion Bird and Mantis."

Fang Xiaocao said.

Right now, there’s no word from the Vermilion Bird and Mantis, and Fang Xiaocao was naturally concerned about them, as they were her subordinates.

Tom nodded, "Alright."

Taotie had no objections, not that he’d dare voice them if he did.

As for Unhappy—

Unhappy’s opinions can be disregarded.

"Let’s move out!"

Fang Xiaocao checked her gun once over to make sure there were no issues and immediately ordered to move out.

Tom and Taotie also selected their weapons and magazines, following behind Fang Xiaocao as they advanced towards the area where Vermilion Bird and Mantis were located.

Vermilion Bird and Mantis were also trapped.

The two were pinned down among a cluster of rocks.

All around them, Ragnarok Mercenaries pointed guns at them, showering them with bullets.

The web of gunfire woven by the bullets suppressed them, preventing them from lifting their heads.

They could only helplessly watch as the Ragnarok Mercenaries closed in on the rocky ground.

"Princess Your Highness, judging by the number of mercenaries, all the island’s mercenaries must be here."

In secrecy, Tom said in a deep voice.

Fang Xiaocao nodded, "Just about."

"But all the better; it’s time to finish this and wipe out these mercenaries."

A cold gleam flickered in Fang Xiaocao’s eyes.

Clearly, murderous intent boiled within her, having already resolved not to let these mercenaries go.

"What are we waiting for then?"

"I’ll spray them with some lead first."

Taotie expertly cocked his gun, raising it.

"Let’s go!"

"Tonight, Ragnarok shall be no more!"

Fang Xiaocao said coldly.

Click—

While speaking, she pulled the bolt of her gun.

Her automatic rifle was now locked and loaded.

Tom didn’t hesitate either, preparing himself to shoot at any moment.

Bang bang bang—

The next second!

Fang Xiaocao pulled the trigger.

The automatic rifle in her hands spit fire, sending a barrage of bullets towards the Ragnarok Mercenaries, mowing down a swath in an instant.

Roughly counting, it hit sufficient numbers for over a dozen people.

With Fang Xiaocao opening fire, Tom and Taotie also began shooting, starting to claim lives.

Unlike Fang Xiaocao’s indiscriminate firing, Tom and Taotie opted for precision shots.

They picked off the Ragnarok Mercenaries with targeted shots, each one claiming a life.

Their kill speed was far higher than Fang Xiaocao’s.

With one magazine’s worth of bullets, they could take down around twenty or thirty mercenaries.

Their efficiency was more than double that of Fang Xiaocao’s.

After a round of joint firing by the trio, the Ragnarok Mercenaries finally realized they had been flanked.

Immediately abandoning Vermilion Bird and Mantis, they turned to attack the trio of Fang Xiaocao.

The trio swiftly darted aside to dodge the incoming bullets.

"Princess Your Highness, this isn’t working."

"They have over a hundred men. Fighting a pitched battle, we can’t win."

Tom, having just headshot a Ragnarok Mercenary carrying a grenade launcher, shouted.

"I agree. We can’t get dragged into a direct confrontation, or we’ll be surrounded."

Taotie chimed in while continuing to shoot.

Hearing both Tom and Taotie, Fang Xiaocao furrowed her brows, her mind racing to come up with a solution.

"Fight them with guerrilla warfare!"

"Lure the mercenaries into the Coconut Grove!"

Suddenly, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up as she shouted to Tom and Taotie.

Guerrilla warfare was their forte.

In the Coconut Grove, whether through ambushes or close-quarters combat, those mercenaries with poor close combat skills were no match for them.

Fang Xiaocao immediately took out her terminal and sent a message to Vermilion Bird.

[Fang Xiaocao: Find a way to get yourselves into the sea. We’re going to fight a guerrilla war against these mercenaries. If you can’t escape, then fend for yourselves.]

She edited the message and hit send.

Without waiting for a response from Vermilion Bird, Fang Xiaocao quickly put away the terminal and turned towards the Coconut Grove: "Tom, Taotie, into the grove."

Following Fang Xiaocao’s orders, Tom and Taotie retreated while fighting, following her towards the nearby Coconut Grove.

The Ragnarok Mercenaries pressed forward relentlessly, seemingly intent on not resting until they had killed Fang Xiaocao and her group to soothe their anger.
