647: The Ultimate Strength, a Strange Yet Familiar Enemy! Part 1

The Ultimate Strength, a Strange Yet Familiar Enemy! Part 1

It was four in the morning.2

In the dark, there was a ball of flame swaying in the breeze at the peak of Er Lang Mountain, chasing away the cold and sorrow of the night.

However, all of a sudden.

However, between the shouts of warriors warning of an enemy attack.

Hundreds of torches appeared out of nowhere in the dark, looking like a prairie fire for a moment!

Obviously, this was a premeditated attack. A sudden attack under the cover of night.

It was definitely not a fair search.

It was definitely not a friendly, peaceful greeting either!

"The enemy is surrounding us in a circle, and moving upward. It looks like there are more than 150 people. Get in formation, look for their bunker operations!"

Even though the warriors of the city guard had trained professionally for a short while, they were still a little panicky as this was their first time experiencing an external attack.

Luckily, the two generals, Feng Tianmin and Feng Long were around.

As they shouted to get messages across, the situation inside was still under control. It even gave the warriors a chance to grab their rifles and move into defensive positions.

However, compared to the warriors' responses, the other party was obviously more familiar with what they were doing.

Not afraid that they had been discovered, they did not look as if they were considering stopping. Instead, they became more patient and worked together even more seamlessly, just like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Could it be that these are the survivors of the Murderer Territory? Are they attacking us because they think that we're the ones who attacked their territory?"

As soon as it was confirmed that the enemy had not reached them, Su Mo also leaped out.

Before Su Mo could finish his sentence, an unexpected explosion occurred.

Boom… Smack!

Just like a thunderbolt streaking through the clouds, a blaze started in the middle of the base camp, creating a cloud of debris.

This was just the first taste of the attack.

The next moment, the debris hit everyone in the face due to the explosion. There was a burning feeling. The impact of airflow greatly affected everyone at the same time.

Even Su Mo could not take it as he was hit. Blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth!

"Attack! Launch an attack! There's no need to skimp on bullets. Shoot below!"

Thanks to the explosion, the warriors' confidence was lost. There were even a few of them nearby who had sustained minor injuries.

Su Mo was furious. He took over Feng Tianmin's power of command, starting to shout in the middle of the base camp. 

As they heard a familiar voice, everyone seemed to regain their courage again.

Snap…

Snap, snap, snap…

Crack…

Crack, crack, crack…

The first to open fire were the warriors who were on the night watch!

They did not care where the enemy was exactly below. To buy time for everyone else, they prepared to keep things under control by firepower.

The group of eight night watch warriors shot abnormally fast. They were also generous with their bullets. In a short time, they had managed to break the momentum of the attack from below.

At the same time, as they got over the panic of the initial stages, the other warriors grew braver hearing the bullet sounds of their comrades.

At once, they took up their rifles and started shooting down at the places where there was fire.

Attacking each other was the fiercest, worst part of the battle.

Whether by flame or the spark of a gun, they were telltale signs of one's position in the dark.

If either party had long-range snipers, the other party would sustain heavy damage and loss in no time.

However, there was a silver lining.

The guards in the base camp were using automatic rifles that were powerful, capable of firing 35 bullets in an instant. They could shoot at will.

The enemy at the base of the mountain was using different, random firearms. There were loud, heavy machine guns, as well as handguns which were backup.

There was something in common.

Neither party had sniper rifles which were useful for accuracy from a distance, RPG weapons, or throwing weapons.

Explosives could get hit in mid-air as they were thrown out.

The warriors could not take this risk, as the other party could not.

It was currently a stalemate, as neither party could triumph over the other.
