Chapter 194 - War Is Never Been A Playground
After that, he kicked the flora user to the ground. Fang Shirong stood back up and there he saw Jin and Han Zian on the ground lying while the Purple Armored Knights attended Han Zian, while Jin was lying n the ground helpless so he rushed towards Jin.
When he reached Jin, he checked his pulse and if Jin was breathing. And luckily Jin was breathing after that he called out a medical specialist from the squad of Purple Armored Knights.
The medical specialist quickly rushed towards the wounded Jin. The Medical specialist reached Jin, who was on the ground, his gear shattered and some of his body parts were already bleeding.
So the medical specialist tried to tend to his wounds first and try to stabilize his vitals. After that the entire groups then entered an abandoned building same with Qi Meili as Valiriel has brought her inside. After that, Valiriel recalled back up to the heavens.
Fang Shirong then approached Qi Meili, who has some wound scratch on his arms. "Are you alright?" Fang Shirong asks as he walked approached Qi Meili seated and looking at the two bodies who were lying on the ground.
"Yes, I am alright how about you?" she replied. "Well, as you can see, I am still breathing and alive, so I guess I am alright." Qi Meili smirked and looked back at the unconscious bodies of Jin and Han Zian.
[On the other side]
"Alright, we need to occupy a building and you help the squad leader at all costs alright!" the medical specialist nodded as they grab the arms and feet of the squad leader.
"Covering fire!" and from that signal, all the support black armored knights fired their sub-machine guns to suppress the firing of the southern loyalist forces.
Gao Jie saw how Cui Qiang is being transported into a building, so he also ordered a suppressing fire onto the enemy. The support black armored knights under Gao Jie fired their submachine guns at the enemy that was in front of them.
[Southern Loyalist force ground headquarters]
"What are you saying that we have already loss 5 platoons to their forces are you kidding with me!?" the southern loyalist officer captain slammed the table while pointing his finger at his lieutenants.
"How can this happen?! We still have armored vehicles send them in! I want those armored knights dead!" the captain furiously ordered, but the one lieutenant replied,
"Sir, permission to speak, but we cannot send in armored vehicles because the enemy has decimated our attached hooded figure platoon from the rebel cell. If we send in our armored vehicle, then we will lose it early on. Why not we retreat and regroup and then the next phase is to make another defense line here"
The Lieutenant pointed an intersection on the map.
"The Seventh intersection of the 1st avenue here sir" added by the Lieutenant, "If we do that kind of strategy will the enemy force us to be pushed back and we will be at chase!" the captain questioned the lieutenant with his angry aura.
"Sir, they will not chase us because their forces have already depleted of energy from the fighting. They have been fighting us for over 4 hours as of right now. And I can assure that their forces are already weak for a counterattack. They will also need to retreat and regroup for their loss. And from what I heard, the hooded platoon attached from us have captured a few Black Armored knights when they raided a Operating base on the western sector."
With that explanation, the Capitan was then at ease and then nodded on the strategy of the lieutenant.
The Lieutenant then looked at the communication and then ordered,
"Call on the frontline forces that are protecting the border of the southern and western border. Tell them to retreat to 7th intersection 1st avenue until the 4th avenue." And the communication nodded and began relying on the orders.
[On the ground]
"Alright copy that," the communication specialist that was assigned front line then stood up and turns around as he rushed towards the front line where the bullets were still flying over their head. "Dammit, do they really have that much ammo on them?" one of the Southern loyalist soldier commented.
"Sir" the communication specialist approached the Lieutenant that was leading the frontline defense. "What is it, communication specialist?" the lieutenant asked and the communication specialists said.
"Sir, we are being ordered to retreat to the 7th intersection 1st avenue" and it stunned the lieutenant from the order of the communication specialist have received.
"What are you saying? That there is an order to retreat?" the communication officer nodded. Even though the lieutenant was hesitant to order a retreat, he still ordered a retreat.
The southern loyalist forces that were facing the Black Armored knights retreated. "Sir, the southern forces are retreating we should chase them," one of the Black Armored Knight that was about to chase the southern loyalist forces.
But Wen Bao ordered, "Don\'t chase, we don\'t have any ammo left we are going to be pinned down and get ambush if we follow them let\'s retreat and regroup with the other forces."
And with that, all the black Armored Knight get to the building where Cui Qiang was lying on the ground while being surgically fixed by 2 medical specialist. "Dammit, what happened?" Wen Bao asked Gao Jie, but even Gao Jie did not know.
"The Squad leader got hit by an explosive mortar fired by a Southern loyalist soldier." One of the Black Armored Knight replied to Wen Bao.
"Have you reconnected with the Forward Base communication? 2nd man?" and the 2nd man replied with "We can no longer connect with the forward base sir I think they got destroyed because of how the static is being feed back on us."
"How about the SQUAD communication?" Wen Bao asked his 2nd man. "Sir, I have the current location of the SQUAD, but they are not replying to any communications that I have sent. And from what the location target is right, they are not moving and they are like on standby on the other 2 streets"
"Alright, after we rest for 30 minutes here, we are moving out. We are also moving Cui Qiang because we are not leaving him behind. Hu Gui and Gao Jie nodded with what Wen Bao have ordered.
[Building occupied by the SQUAD]
"What happened back at the Forward base that we have built?" Fang Shirong asks Qi Meili as both of them were quiet.
"They suddenly arrived at our Forward base and they attacked. We tried to push them back, but their abilities overpowered most of the black armored knights. Especially the aura user, that person was skilled to fight with the black armored knight as if that hooded user have already met a black armored knight. And when I saw how that aura user got killed, I felt safety once again. I thought I too was going to be killed next, but their leader want me alive, so they dragged me out of the building. I tried to fight, but I too was overpowered, as they are not the only one that attacked the forward base, they also have some other forces. I think the rebel cell forces have been regaining power from this time their way of fighting has been developing and not like from before"
Qi Meili looked depressed as she clasped her hands and looked at Fang Shirong that was beside him, that was covered in blood. "Wash your face you look like you massacred a lot today"
Qi Meili added and Fang Shirong replied with "I did not the squad leader and the angels of Han Zian were the ones who did all the job I was at the side fighting a flora user who abilities was to summon deadly thorn vines."
And Fang Shirong headed for a comfort room to wash his face. The Purple armored knight then took rest as their squad leader died and it halved their forces from the battle that they have entered.
"Whoo… we have entered one of the toughest battles in our deployment." One of the purple armored knight that was leaning on the wall. "You got that right, brother.
This battle is so fearsome. I never have this kind of feeling since the training when the drill sergeant has taken over," replied the other Purple Armored Knight.
[3 hours have passed]
"So we have reached their location that is stated at the tracker?" Wen Bao questioned as he looked behind him. "Yes, Sir that building is the building that is said here on the tracker" replied by the 2nd man who look at his monitor screen while raising his left arm.
After that a voice echoed, "Who goes there raise your hands!" after those words rifles suddenly came out from the windows.
The whole Black Armored Knights were out in the open. In a pull of a trigger, it will kill all of them. And so Wen Bao was the first one to raise his hand and said, "We are the Black Armored Knights we are part of the SQUAD".
There was a moment of silence. One of the Purple Armored called Qi Meili Knights, that was aiming at one of the Black Armored Knight that was raising his hand.
Qi Meili looked at the window and immediately opened the door. And Qi Meili shouted "Get inside!" and all the black armored Knights smirked as they saw Qi Meili and they all quickly rushed inside the building that they have garrisoned.
Wen Bao and the other squad leaders entered safely. They put Cui Qiang into an isolated room where two Medical specialist was on standby because of the unstable vital signs that Cui Qiang is showing.
