This was a battle with unpredictable outcomes of win and loss.
Although the North City people did not have Force Potions, they had secured the first attack, the advantage of having the defense of the base, and their numbers were almost double that of their opponent after sneak killing many people.
Although the Storm City people had Force Potions and could use Legendary equipment skills because they were now at a place with no hardcover and the surrounding trees were loose with shrubs and vegetation cover, their ability to be blocked from bullets was limited. However, there was no way to solve the problem of having very little cover.
“Tch tch…” Throughout the process of the clash of Snipers, 24K had jumped off Feng Luo’s shoulder earlier and was hidden behind a brain-sized rock on the ground where the bullets could not reach.
When Feng Luo had killed the North City Sniper, a black hole had formed and a two-meter sized Steel Beetle crawled out using its body to block the massive waves of bullets fired from the North City players weapons.
With the North City players’ equipment, even an Elite-Grade Steel Beetle with even stronger physical defense and health of up to 10,000 would still be killed in a few seconds.
However, just like facing those mecha guards from before, Steel Beetles are wild beasts and their corpses would not disappear after death and could still serve as a barrier for the Storm City players.
The Storm City players were shocked at first, upon being reminded by Feng Luo they used the Steel Beetle’s protection to start counter-attacking the people of North City.
“Pu, Pu, Pu…”
Other than the Steel Beetles, all the Spray Beetles that had restored some of their venom had been called onto the battlefield by Feng Luo as well. There were more Bladed Beetles than before when they only appeared to face the Spider Mecha Guards briefly.
Steel Beetles, Bladed Beetles, Spray Beetles…defense, assassination, long-range… Feng Luo generously summoned his beetle troops.
Despite the continuous deaths, as new beetle troops continued endlessly crawling out from the black hole, the victory of this battle was starting to tilt from the side of the North City towards the side of the Storm City.
Perhaps, in a large-scale battle of hundreds of people, the less than a total of 100 combat beetles with an average level of less than Level-40 would not have much of a determining effect.
However, in such a small team battle where both sides added together were not over 50 people, having up to 100 beetles with over half of them being Elite-Grade beasts was a great bargaining chip.
“F*ck me, who can tell me what the sh*t is that on that side?”
“How come a Storm City person can control beasts too?”
“How did the Storm City people’s combat power suddenly become so strong? That Heavy Armored Warrior absorbed a magazine of bullets and didn’t shed a single drop of blood – the full capacity of submachine gun bullets that was powerful enough to break through the metallic wall of this base.”
The North City players were pissed off. After all, while relying on their advantage in the sudden attack, they had initially thought that they had secured victory.
Their manpower loss was serious – starting with 500 players and were left with less than 100 now, and there were only not even 40 people here.
Their opponents had even fewer people, and they only had to kill the three targeted characters: Sword Ki Long River, Ten Mile Tiger, and that not famous Feng Zhi Luo Ye, and all would fall under their hands.
In addition to making use of the abilities of the team’s Scouts to dodge the attacks from the rebellion behind them, North City would become this reclamation’s final winner.
In comparison to being forced by the Rebel Army to a humiliating flee previously, this was their point of return and redemption.
Just who would have thought that after retreating for a while, the Storm City players that initially had over ten people sneak-killed, would suddenly jump out acting aroused as if they had taken aphrodisiacs with a huge increase in all their combat power.
The feedback from a Legendary-Grade Recon Meter showed that huge amounts of “Force waves” had appeared from the team on the other side.
The Force?
Of course, no one would think that the Storm City players would suddenly, at such a time as this, collectively awaken their Forces.
There was only one reason this could be so; they had temporarily possessed the Force from using some special method that would engage their Legendary-Grade equipment skills.
“Son of a b*tch, the Storm City people have played such a dirty move!” The North City players were all full of envy, jealousy, and hate.
Despite this change, they still felt in their hearts that their chance of victory was larger.
Although Legendary skills were powerful, they were not considered invincible, especially when the Storm City people had lost their sense of direction and were placed into a passive spot where they were being attacked and had an insufficient defense.
Even though they had full-sets Legendary equipment, it meant death if they jumped out and were targeted by opposing firepower.
Still, when the other side suddenly emerged with a huge number of beasts, the North City players were on the verge of cursing.
How did these beasts suddenly appear?
The Levels of these beasts known as “XX Beetles” did not seem high, but not only were their numbers high but their combat power was also considered not weak.
That gigantic type of Steel Beetle could not be completely drilled though by a B-Grade bullet and it continuously counterattacked with laser beams while the Spray Beetles’ venom would make one instantly suffer from a negative stat that was continuously compounded. As for those Bladed Beetles, although they were close-combat, they had dispersed towards the surrounding area, as if trying to surround their position.
“Damn it, there’s no way of taking down these beetles!” Some people could not help but curse out loud.
The beetle troops were not that rad. After all, other than the Steel Beetle, both the Bladed Beetles and Spray Beetles were very weak. In the hands of top players, one attack would essentially be able to kill one of them.
If it were Manipulators, especially Fire Manipulators, just one skill would be enough to kill a whole group of them.
However, if there were Manipulators on the other side, Feng Luo would not have summoned so many beetles to join in the battle.
To be able to ambush them in advance, the North City team was only formed by Gunner and Warrior players who could move quickly.
In the end, they were lacking in true continuous range damage. Although the firepower of machine guns was great, not only do the ammo chains have to be changed but after continuous firing, a cooldown would be needed in addition to the gun barrel had to be changed.
Although the number of people opposite were two times larger than on this side, with the counterattack of the beetle troops together with the Storm City players who had one by one taken Force Potions, the combat between the two sides had seen the side of the Storm City players securing the upper hand.
After all, while the Warriors had no way of advancing, the main thing was still the effect of long-range attacks.
Although the North City people had more than ten long-range professions, with the wormhole continuously producing Beetle soldiers, there were an entire 100 Spray Beetles and Steel Beetles which could fire laser beams on this side.
Not to mention when Jelly had finally digested the Earth Energy Crystal Core, it spit a cannon-like “stone ball” directly from its mouth that smashed into the players’ position at the first base. Like the “rock ball” monster from before, these stone balls exploded into pieces, forcing the North City players to have to flee.
The conclusion of the battle was roughly understood.
