Chapter 35: Eating Humble Pie
Chapter 35: Eating Humble Pie
The tank legion stirred up waves of sand and dust, like a yellow dragon advancing on the ground, creating a terrifying scene that shocked many who participated in this war.
It had been a long time since they had seen such a scene. Since the establishment of Base City, there had been few large-scale battles. Except for some old soldiers, most people were experiencing this for the first time.
"Only war is the most attractive. I hope those rats from Military Base can give me some pleasure." Wang Yi's mouth curled into a cold smile.
He was full of confidence in this operation. It was just a person who accidentally discovered Military Base. Even if he had joined forces with others, could they be a match for Base City?
"Qi family's Young Master is really useless. He can't even handle a weak Military Base and has to ask his father to unite with other families. But if it weren't for that, how could I have taken action?" Wang Yi muttered to himself.
He stood on top of the tank, but the tank's speed had no effect on him. The sand and dust in front of him were separated by a meter!
This was the power of a fifth-order Transcendent, who could skillfully use the energy inside their body and release it outside.
As the level of Transcendent increased, the distance of energy released outside the body would also increase. It was said that an eighth-order Transcendent could behead an enemy thousands of miles away with a single move!
This was why the status of Transcendents was so transcendent. Without Transcendents, humans would be unable to fight against Mutant Beasts.
The weapons in this world had their limits and could only be effective against seventh-order Mutant Beasts. They were almost useless against eighth-order Mutant Beasts. Fortunately, there had been no ninth-order Mutant Beasts, or humans might not have been able to withstand them.
When the army of Base City had just left, Su Chen knew their movements.
"At this speed, they should arrive here in three hours. Looks like I need to prepare."
Even though he knew the other side had 500 tanks and 100 planes, Su Chen remained calm. If he didn't have some confidence, how could he dare to provoke Base City?
Three hours passed quickly, and the army of Base City gradually approached the location in their intelligence.
"Commander, please give the order." A soldier respectfully looked at Wang Yi. As the commander, he would not be on the front line. That was just showing off.
Now, Wang Yi was riding in a helicopter, giving various orders and having a bird's-eye view. He could see more things.
At his height, he could vaguely see some tall buildings in the distance. What surprised him the most was that the other side seemed to be unaware of their situation.
"Is this a deserted city plan, or are they completely ignoring us?" Wang Yi rubbed his chin.
No matter what the situation was, if they retreated at the first stop, they would probably be laughed at.
Wang Yi waved his hand. "Let ten tanks act as the vanguard and test the enemy's strength."
The power of ten tanks was enough to destroy a Gathering Place. Using them as the vanguard was a bit of a waste.
Soon, ten tanks left the team and advanced forward.
Boom!
Before the tanks had even advanced a hundred meters, a shell fell from the sky and hit a Black Lion tank, making a deafening sound.
Even though the tank had some sound insulation, the vibration from the shell still made the driver and co-driver almost pass out.
"Damn it, counterattack!"
These people were elites. Based on the trajectory of the shell just now, they quickly calculated the approximate location of the enemy and fired back decisively.
Bang bang bang...
Ten shells flew out of the barrel at an extremely fast speed and landed in the distance, creating a loud noise.
"Did we get them?" someone couldn't help but whisper.
The next second, countless shells fell from the sky like rain, covering all ten tanks.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of explosions was endless. This terrifying scene made Wang Yi slightly dizzy, but he quickly reacted. This was the other side's attack.
"Counterattack all, helicopter troops go up and take care of the enemy's city defense guns!"
From the other side's attack, Wang Yi could tell that they were using city defense guns. If it was a main battle tank, a shell could easily penetrate the armor of a Black Lion tank. Only the shells from city defense guns would not be able to penetrate the armor of a Black Lion tank.
Wang Yi was puzzled. Where did the other side get so many city defense guns? He had roughly counted that there were at least no less than 0 city defense guns. This was unbelievable.
"It must have been left behind by Military Base. It seems that this Military Base is not a place that has been separated for a long time. It even has city defense guns that appeared ten years ago." Wang Yi gave himself a reason.
No one would believe that these city defense guns appeared out of thin air, but for Su Chen, these things did appear out of thin air, and at most, they consumed some energy.
Not only were there city defense guns, but there were also a large number of machine gun bunkers on the route that these tanks had to pass through.
Bunkers were multifunctional and used different methods depending on the enemy they faced.
When facing tanks, ordinary firearms were useless. They used rocket launchers and flamethrowers!
In an instant, this place became a sea of flames. Dozens of bunkers took out flamethrowers, and the scene almost made people think that this place had turned into a sea of fire.
In the game, the flamethrowers of bunkers had a great killing effect on tanks. Even here, flamethrowers still had a good performance.
The flamethrowers melted the armor of the tanks in less than five seconds!
At first, no one noticed. They wanted to use the armor of the Black Lion tank to forcibly open up a path, but they suddenly found that their tanks had stopped moving.
"What's going on?" the driver roared.
"The tank...the tank is melting!" the co-driver's voice trembled.
The driver almost couldn't help but slap him. What the hell do you mean by melting? This is a Black Lion tank. How could it melt...oh shit!
The driver, who had just thought this, suddenly found a hole in front of him, and then his vision was filled with flames. The world plunged into darkness.
"Everyone retreat, keep your distance. These flames are not right!" Wang Yi's eyes narrowed, and he immediately gave the order.
The tanks behind quickly retreated and kept their distance, but the city defense guns were still raining shells. Seeing this scene, Wang Yi almost cursed. Did these shells not cost money?
Then he thought that these shells seemed to have come from Military Base. They were really free. He had nothing to say.
At this critical moment, who cared about shells? The other side probably just wanted to drive them away, right?
