Chapter 193 Reinforcements

Along with the death of the soldiers, Tie Zha temporarily gave up searching the corridor and continued searching for the swarm of insects in the jungle. His main goal was to use the advantage of the cannons to eliminate the stinger arrays as much as possible. As for the ant queen hidden deep underground, he couldn’t deal with her, so he didn’t think much about it.

About ten minutes later, the iron slag returned to the vicinity of the camp and searched for the corpses of the weeping flies to maintain the wastage of the soldiers. At this moment, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang. Tie Zha stopped and only heard Wang Hu hurriedly report, “Guild Leader, the seventh garrison on the right has fallen. The Fireworks Legion on the left has requested to abandon the garrison and move closer to us.”

Tie Zha immediately frowned, took out the tactical map and looked at it for a while, then said, “Send them over, quickly.” With that, he thought to himself, and the soldier army split into three groups, continuing to wander in front of him. The other two groups dispersed to the left and right. Not long after, Iron Slag found the Thorn Bug Array through the soldiers and commanded the artillery to destroy it.

However, the fall of the defensive areas on both sides had caused the Wolf Legion to face enemies on three sides. Adding on the fact that they were running out of artillery ammunition, they would definitely not be able to hold on for long. A moment later, more than 50 Marines of the Fireworks Legion supported each other and retreated into the camp in a sorry state. Along with them, there were seven or eight mechs of the Thunderflame type that were exhausted and damaged. A few minutes later, Tie Zha returned to the camp. When he looked at the pile of disabled soldiers, his temper instantly disappeared. Originally, he thought that the Fireworks Legion could bring some new troops, but in the end, they were all burdens.

Seeing that the next wave of insects was about to arrive, he thought about it for a long time, but couldn’t come up with any plan. It was definitely too late to retreat, and there was no chance of winning by staying behind to defend. It was only a matter of time before the defensive line collapsed. These swarm of insects affected by the Hegemon of the Abyss were different from the ones that had been waiting for orders a few days ago. Their formations were scattered and constantly moving, multiplying the difficulty of shelling and the consumption of ammunition.

The remaining artillery shells were only enough for 32 cannons to fire two rounds at once. Even with the help of the scouting ants, they could only eliminate a hundred stingers at most. Once the cannons failed, the defensive area would face a rain of strong acid spikes. At that time, there was only a matter of time before the defensive line completely collapsed.

In a flash of thought, groups of weeping flies pounced into his detection range. He immediately restrained his mind and focused on searching for traces of the thorn insects.

A few minutes later, after the last round of shelling, Tie Zha ordered an assault rifle and arrived at the front line of the defensive area. He was like an ordinary Marine, setting up his rifle and hiding behind a bunker made of sandbags. He looked at the messy jungle in front of him.

After a while, a dense hissing sound came from far to near. In an instant, pairs of weeping flies surged out of the jungle like tides towards the defensive line.

When Song Tianying rushed into the open space in front of him, Wang Hu gave the order, “Fire!”

“Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da …”

In an instant, the crisp sound of shooting continued, and dense bullets poured out! The weeping flies that had just rushed to the open space were immediately knocked to the side and screamed endlessly. At the same time, a small group of stingers appeared in Tie Zha’s field of vision. The number of stingers was about twenty.

“Be careful of stingers!” Tie Zha shouted loudly, and the soldiers adjusted their helmets to shrink as close to the back of the bunker as possible. A few seconds later, the sound of air breaking could be heard from above.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh”

At this moment, a Marine who was shooting up couldn’t help but look up, but at this moment, a thorn that was completely pale fell straight down. With a “puchi” sound, the spike pierced into his face and directly pierced out of his back. When his companion heard the commotion, he hurriedly turned around to look. His entire body twitched, and white smoke came out from the wounds on his face and back, emitting a pungent smell of sour.

Looking at his companion’s miserable state, the soldier heaved a deep sigh of relief. However, before he could recover from his shock, a second round of spikes came …

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh”

“Ah! Ah! My leg!” “Medical soldiers! Medical soldiers!” “We didn’t …” “Morphine, give him morphine.” Riots broke out on the defensive line as a Marine was wounded.

Immediately after, the third round came …

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh”

“Hurry up and dodge!” “Ah!” “Hurry up and leave!” After a period of chaos, another Marine died. The spike pierced through his chest and nailed him obliquely to the ground.

“Zzz zz” Amidst the dense corrosive sound, the corpse of the Marine emitted dense white smoke. The skin quickly decayed and emitted a pungent sour smell. Seeing such a terrifying scene, some of the frightened Marines curled up behind the sandbags and didn’t dare to show their heads again.

Since no one fired, many weeping flies crossed the barbed wire fence and pounced into the camp. Seeing this, Tie Zha immediately threw down his assault rifle and pulled out his sparkle, charging straight at the Weeping Chrysanthemum that had pounced into the camp. “Mu Qianhe! Five hundred meters away at a quarter past three!” He shouted as he brandished his sword.

“Mecha team, follow me!” Mu Qianhe shouted loudly. Then, he pulled on the rocker and pushed forward. The tiger-type mecha suddenly jumped forward and jumped over the line of defense, charging straight into the depths of the forest. Behind her, two Firebird mechs swung their slender mechanical legs and chased after her at full speed. One by one, they spread out six mechanical legs and slowly followed her with their heavy bodies dragged.

A few hundred meters away, Mu Qianhe used the Tiger Mech to nimbly bypass the thick trees and break the small trees. Very quickly, he rushed to the vicinity of the thorn insect and lifted the Vulcan Cannon on the robot arm to bombard it!

“Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da …”

Large caliber armor piercing swept through the trunk of the tree in front of him, causing wood chips to splatter, and shrubs to fly from the leaves! At the same time, the two Firebird Styles that followed closely behind him spread out their wings, and four small-caliber Vulcan Cannon’s spun at the same time!

“Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da …”

In an instant, an incomparably dense number of bullets swept past. Immediately after, Mu Qianhe slowly pushed the rocker and controlled the Tiger Mech to slowly move forward while shooting. Along with their shooting, the painful howls of thorns could be heard continuously in the dense forest ahead.

At this moment, a group of weeping flies turned around and rushed towards them. Mu Qianhe’s eyes narrowed as he pushed open the launch cover and gently rotated the rocker. The tiger mecha maintained its firing direction, and with a slight movement of its shoulder, the dense rocket launching nest was immediately aimed at the side. At the same time, Mu Qianhe forcefully pressed the red button on the top of the rocker!

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh

In an instant, small and exquisite rockets shot out one after another, dragging white smoke towards the group of weeping flies on the side.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble” A burst of flames flashed past, and the swarm of weeping flies was blasted to pieces by the dense small rockets.

After eliminating the thorns, the belated Thunderflame mecha was finally in place. More than thirty Thunderflame cannons formed a dense line of defense, and all the weeping flies that dared to approach were swept to pieces.

After a clean-up, the red dots of light around him finally disappeared. Tie Zha took a deep breath and managed to survive the attack. However, the next time, they would have to face a complete array of thorns.

“Guild Leader, take Mu Qianhe with you. I’m still here.” After resting for a while, Wang Hu looked at Tie Zha and said solemnly.

“What do you mean?” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and grinned as he asked.

Wang Hu lowered his head and looked at the marching watch. He then approached Tie Zha and said in a low voice, “I can’t hold on any longer. The first reinforcements will arrive in 45 minutes … You are brilliant …”

“Are you looking down on our glorious bloodline?” Tie Zha interrupted him and asked.

“You know, that’s not what I meant.” Wang Hu said with a stern face, “You still have the mission of the Holy Flame. You can’t die here. It’s not worth it!”

“Wang Hu” Tie Zha stared at the brother in front of him and asked seriously, “Do people who abandon their companions still have the qualifications to ignite the brilliant sacred flame?”

“This” Wang Hu was speechless for a moment, unable to speak for a long time.

“Besides …” Tie Zha paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m just one of the fire seeds.”

“I see!” Wang Hu firmly nodded his head, then grabbed Tie Zha’s arm forcefully and said in a deep voice, “We brothers will die together.”

At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from behind the camp. The two of them stood up and looked up, only to see three tall men walking side by side. With their parachutes on their backs, they walked over with heavy steps and stood in front of the two Guild Leaders.

“Guild Leader, Porcupine requests to return!” “Guild Leader, Tuoba San requests to return!” “Guild Leader, Match requests to return!”

Looking at the three comrades who had rushed to the theatre day and night, Tie Zha and Wang Hu were speechless. They only lightly nodded their heads.

Until this moment, they used their own lives to prove to each other their fiery loyalty and persistent faith.

After a moment of silence, Tie Zha stretched out his right hand and stared at them. “Hello, I am Tie Zha Northess, a brilliant fire seed.”

Seeing this, Wang Hu raised his head and looked at the three of them. He stretched out his right hand and tightly grabbed onto the back of Tie Zha’s hand. He solemnly said, “Hello, I am Wang Hu, the War Bear of the Far Mountain, and a follower of the Fire Seed.”

The three of them exchanged glances. The porcupine and match nodded at the same time. Tuoba San immediately grabbed onto the back of Wang Hu’s hand and said, “Hello, I am Tuoba San, the Azure Snake’s Martial Monk and the Fire Seed’s follower.”

Then, the porcupine and the match reached out their right hands at the same time and put them together, saying in unison, “Hello, we are the porcupine and the match, the battle bear of the distant mountains, the follower of the fire seed.”

With three strong teammates joining him, Tie Zha raised his head and looked into the distance. His profound gaze pierced through the layers of woods and landed at the entrance of a pitch-black cave. At this moment, a large red ant was crouching in the black ground, watching as one by one, the weeping flies pounced out of the passageway and rushed into the depths of the dense forest …

Not long after, Tie Zha withdrew his gaze and ordered the three of them, “Arrange your equipment and prepare for a surprise attack!”

“Yes!” “Yes!” “Yes!” Three firm and loud voices echoed in the camp and spread far away. The tired soldiers all raised their heads and looked over …
