Chapter 1671: Chapter 1671: Booming Cannon Fire

To the east of the abandoned city, at the artillery position of the X Legion, various cannons were deployed. After launching thousands of shells, they finally rested.

Through binoculars and unmanned reconnaissance, the command saw the scene—almost the entire abandoned city was destroyed, turned into ruins, and the Resistance Army Headquarters was thus annihilated.

This time, the X Legion not only used ground artillery fire but also airstrikes, bombarding for a long time, it felt as if even the earth was trembling.

Someone suggested, why did they go to such lengths to use so much artillery for a massive random bombardment? Couldn’t they use drones with night vision to pinpoint the precise locations of the Resistance fighters, then have artillery lock onto those positions?

The command explained that the abandoned city, though neither too large nor too small, had the Resistance troops acting in a scattered manner, so using drones to find each Resistance fighter would be time-consuming and laborious. Instead, a comprehensive artillery cover was simpler.

After the bombing, it was believed that most of the Resistance had been killed or injured. At that point, drones could be dispatched, utilizing their reconnaissance capabilities to locate the remaining Resistance fighters, and then send the positions to the X Legion. The X Legion would then either provide blanket fire coverage or send people in to eliminate them.

As dawn gradually broke, after a night of bombardment, countless plumes of smoke could be seen thick in the air. More astonishingly, the X Legion’s forces covered all four directions of the abandoned city.

Countless enemies, countless armored vehicles, countless tanks and artillery, and in the sky, countless helicopters and drones circled. It seemed the X Legion had truly mobilized on a large scale to eliminate the Resistance.

At this moment, Gu Fan shot up into the sky, becoming very conspicuous, attracting the attention of many helicopters.

Through the surveillance feed, Ning Qi identified him as Gu Fan, warning everyone to be cautious.

"Come on!" Gu Fan ignored the helicopters and flew eastward.

Many helicopters pursued, flying swiftly and shooting at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan activated his Vajra Body Protection, rendering himself invulnerable to bullets raining down like a storm. He gritted his teeth and kept heading east.

At the East Camp, the X Legion’s anti-aircraft artillery had locked onto Gu Fan, requesting to fire, but Ning Qi stopped them.

Ning Qi felt there was a significant possibility that Gu Fan was targeting her specifically—capture the general to capture victory? Dream on.

The helicopters also reached the airspace above the East Camp. If the X Legion’s anti-aircraft artillery had fired just moments earlier, they might have hit their own helicopters.

Because the abandoned city had been subjected to a night’s bombardment, smoke was thick, hindering visibility. The X Legion only saw Gu Fan flying toward them, not the helicopters behind him. If Ning Qi hadn’t guessed Gu Fan’s intentions, they would have nearly fallen into his trap, leading to friendly fire.

"Oh, didn’t fall for it, Ning Qi is really clever." Gu Fan didn’t mind. Seeing that it was enough, he stopped flying, then turned and made an apologetic gesture toward the helicopters.

"What does that mean?" The people in the helicopters didn’t understand, and on the ground, Ning Qi also frowned, sensing that Gu Fan was about to start some trick.

Suddenly, a piercing sword cry echoed across the sky, like a sharp arrow piercing into one’s swollen eardrums. Everyone couldn’t help but cover their ears, as the sound made their ears uncomfortable.

Lin Yue flew on his sword, sword aura rampaging through the heavens and earth, even cleaving through thick clouds in its path.

Before many realized what was happening, Lin Yue’s sword aura dismembered the helicopters in the sky, and they fell piece by piece, crashing towards the camp below.

"Well done." Gu Fan was exhilarated, descending with the falling helicopter debris, uncertain if he could find Ning Qi, but he had to try.

It was then that people at the East Camp saw the disintegrated helicopters falling from the sky, and everyone panicked, frantically scattering to escape.

The helicopter debris hit the ground like shells, causing the ground to tremble and kicking up huge clouds of dust.

Fortunately, the X Legion retreated quickly, so not many were injured. Ning Qi also withdrew to a safe location protected by her subordinates, but she was very tense, having completely lost track of Gu Fan amidst the chaos.

The X Legion’s formation was now somewhat disordered, which gave the Resistance an opportunity.

"Charge!" The Resistance fighters, led by Jie, rushed out of the abandoned city toward the enemy positions, shooting as they advanced.

Even though the X Legion had experienced chaos, they quickly regrouped due to their numbers, forming a defensive line and opening fire on the Resistance.

A sharp sword descended from the sky, and its fierce sword aura swept through everything, sending X Legion personnel flying in disarray.

"Don’t retreat, everyone, I’ll clear the path." Lin Yue wielded his treasured sword, wreaking havoc among the X Legion, focusing on breaking through the foremost defensive line of the X Legion.

Zhuo Hang also joined in, assaulting the X Legion’s defensive line with a single blow, sending many flying in screams of terror.

With the efforts of these two experts, the morale of the Resistance fighters soared, and they advanced closely behind Jie, quickening their pace.

The first defensive line of the East Camp was soon breached by the Resistance, and the X Legion was thoroughly routed, in a pitiful state.

"Fire at will, let them know the consequences of bombing us." Lu Yi shouted, trying to boost morale, but no one around him paid attention, as everyone was extremely busy.

Leng Feng didn’t know how many enemies he had taken down. He was a bit out of breath but didn’t stop moving forward, charging towards the enemy’s second defensive line.

"Wait a moment, brother, dad’s plan doesn’t call for you to take the lead." Gu Xiaojin pulled Leng Feng back at a critical moment.

Indeed, in Gu Fan’s plan, only Lin Yue and Zhuo Hang, two experts, were to take the lead. If they couldn’t break through, the Resistance couldn’t advance, nor could they create chaos for Gu Fan to fish in troubled waters.

Leng Feng knew he wasn’t strong enough for the task, but he was driven by a surge of passion, wanting to keep pace with Gu Fan, to see how Gu Fan fought.

At this moment, Lu Yi also came running and persuaded Leng Feng to stay calm. It wasn’t his task to clear the way. To win this fight, everyone had to do their part, like who would cover the rear. As the battle went on, enemies from the other three directions would join in, and the remaining forces of the Resistance would face enemies a hundred times their number.

At the thought of facing a hundred times the enemies, Leng Feng and Gu Xiaojin broke into a cold sweat. Couldn’t this doomsayer have thought of something better than that?
