Camille Victoria, to some extent, shared Super Tomato’s way of thinking.
So she commanded the tank, not leading the car team to the battle between the two sides.
Instead, she headed straight for another location that was almost impossible to conquer on weekdays— Metropolis Bank!
Yes, Camille Victoria’s two main goals were to get the tank and not to win the competition, but to successfully rob Metropolis Bank!
The competition could only be ranked third!
After getting the tank, everyone was excited about her plan.
In their view, the competition was already won since they got the tank.
Instead of rushing to fight other players and causing more chaos, it was much more interesting for everyone to gang up and take down Metropolis Bank together!
But the core circle was not large, and although the high-rise buildings blocked the view, they couldn’t possibly ignore the sound of machine-gun fire, explosions, and continuous gunshots.
A team member took the elevator to a high-rise building, looked through the telescope and, puzzled, reported back in a private chat: “I see, a heavy armed helicopter attacking Green Army’s base on the ground, and the natives are rushing in too!”
The players on the ground also expressed confusion: “What does it mean? The natives are coming after us with helicopters?” “Seriously? Are the natives that fierce?”
“Didn’t the Metropolis Police go on strike?”
Camille Victoria suddenly realized, “This is the final challenge added for us! If we hadn’t taken the initiative first, we might be facing attacks from the natives with both helicopters and tanks!”
“So, we actually relieved half of the pressure for all the players?” The player next to her immediately woke up.
“Very likely! ”
“We are so great!”
“Forget it, let’s take down the bank first! Worst case scenario, we defend inside the bank. No matter how fierce their helicopters are, can they rush into the bank vault?” Camille Victoria decisively ordered.
“Makes sense! Charge, charge, charge!”
Outside the competition, the audience watching the live streaming were rolling with laughter at their conversations.
The security and staff inside the bank saw the tank coming from afar, armed themselves, and fired a volley of bullets.
One of the security personnel even rushed out of the bank’s gate with a bundle of hand grenades and charged towards the tank.
But under the suppression of the players’ hundreds-strong army and the tank’s machine gunners, those who came out were killed one after another! As many bullets as they fired, an equal number of bullets were returned!
And more accurately, more lethal!
Inside the car, Camille Victoria commanded like a pro: “Let’s start with a greeting: target the bank’s gate, one round ready!”
120mm Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot Armor-Piercing Projectile, automatic loading. “Aim and fire directly after!”
“Boom!”
As soon as Camille Victoria finished speaking, the shell was fired.
Even with the accelerated senses of [Assassin Bloodline], the shell still flew faster than four times the speed of sound, easily penetrating the formidable gate of the bank and exploding in the bank lobby.
The explosion caused a violent impact that blew the door from the inside out, creating a huge passage at the bank’s entrance wide enough for two cars to pass side by side.
But the tank did not move in a hurry. A daredevil drove a mud truck, climbed about ten steps, and charged into the bank’s lobby in one go.
An intense explosion immediately occurred on the truck, killing the daredevil on the spot.
But immediately after, the explosives hidden in the truck were ignited by the explosions and flames, causing an even more violent secondary explosion on the truck.
Through the large hole at the entrance, the once luxurious interior of the Metropolis Bank was now in ruins. Even the sturdy concrete and steel column had two broken parts exposed to the air.
The bulletproof glass of the counter was riddled with cracks.
With the wreckage of the mud truck blocking the players’ view inside the bank, they finally rushed forward, and the tank slowly moved closer.
The cannon was positioned, aimed at the corner of the lobby.
As the players stormed into the lobby. a hidden half-height door opened in
that corner revealing a machine gun with a bulletproof plate.
Before it had a chance to fire, the tank’s gun, which had been ready to shoot, fired again!
“Boom!”
As expected, this firepower point, which had been discovered by players who risked their lives in the game, was directly destroyed!
Another machine gun that emerged from a diagonal position was also approached by prepared players who poured gasoline into the gaps between the bulletproof plate and the hole, igniting it with a fire!
When the tank’s barrel turned again, it fired another shot to completely eliminate this firepower point.
Rolling over the broken marble floor, the tank squeezed past the wreckage of the mud truck and shattered the bulletproof glass wall without wasting ammunition.
Aiming at the narrow hallway leading to the vault, it fired a shot directly!
Thinking that no one knew someone was hiding in there? Joke!
After the tank fired, the players charged forward, cleaning up the mess and clearing the way for the tank.
The seamless coordination made their advance unstoppable!
The audience in the live broadcast room was thrilled.
In another live broadcast room, teams sniping at other players at the edge of the shrinking circle had a rough time.
Although the earthquake caused by the shrinking circle had stopped, and they could fully display their combat power, native people had surrounded them, with an overwhelming number of natives driving and joining the encirclement.
If they had chosen to break through the encirclement soon after the circle shrank, it would have been risky. However, by now, it was utterly hopeless.
The final option was to divide the forces into four groups, attempting to break through from four different directions, and hope that a few lucky ones could get out alive.
The situation was extremely intense, with players continuously being knocked down, shot, and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The encirclement was so dense, and the bullets were too intense; even [Assassin Bloodline] could not help players dodge all attacks. Moreover, the massive consumption of physical strength by the skills only increased the burden of breaking through.
Eventually, in the end, there was only one in ten players who escaped the encirclement!
However, they were not the most miserable, as the Green-dressed Corps of professional players took the brunt of the disaster.
First, they were hit by heavy-armed helicopter airdrops, followed by machine gun sweeps, and finally, swarmed and attacked by natives.
Some of the scattered Green-dressed Corps players held their positions, but most of them had started fleeing from the hard-built stronghold.
But escaping wasn’t easy as the Orange Alliance players led by Super Tomato and nine other video uploaders were waiting on the outskirts!
There were people with telescopes watching from the heights at every direction, immediately reporting targets through the squad channel as they discovered them. The captain would then lead his team to intercept the targets with vehicles, gaining an advantage by outnumbering their opponents.
Even professional players struggled to survive, let alone ordinary players in the professional player alliance.
What’s worse, once a talented player was discovered, a swarm of people would rush towards them.
Yelling, “XXX, you are my idol!”
While frantically shooting at their idol!
Even armed helicopters would come, specially participating in this unique fan meeting.
They’d connect a brand new 30mm machine gun cartridge belt and pour out a hail of bullets to greet their idol warmly!
With this combination of natural disasters and man-made calamities, along with the pure firepower suppression, the Green-dressed Corps suffered a devastating blow, almost being annihilated!
Only four or five players who were lucky enough to be outside of the stronghold escaped with their lives.
The club’s presence on this map – completely wiped out!
At this point, on the map, only two player alliances remained with a sufficient number of players and strong combat power!
