Chapter 109: War

Updated: 2012-08-27

The battle began on time at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, when a missile towed by a laser locator fell into the stadium with a flare. First, a loud bang spread, shattering all the glass of the gymnasium's ceiling, followed by the flames that soared into the sky like a dragon spewing into the sky, and then slowly spread out in all directions, like a red flower.

The next moment, the roar of the Finri wolf was heard in the gymnasium, and hundreds of giant wolves rushed out of the gymnasium across the flames. They all had a faint chill on their bodies, and the flames were immediately suppressed by an invisible hand. But the giant wolf who rushed out of the gymnasium was greeted by soldiers hiding behind cover with machine guns in their hands. As for the several armored vehicles that pressed the formation, they continued to fire the missiles they carried to bombard the stadium, and on the old belted combat vehicles, the large-caliber artillery fired again and again, saturating the wolves that rushed out of the stadium.

For a time, there were explosions and gunfire in the city of Morin. Under the strong fire attack of Phoenix's side, even the ground began to shake slightly.

Zero's SUV was parked on a street five hundred meters away from the stadium.

Before the battle began, George explained the details of the operation in the car, and assigned each of the six members a tactical watch, a detonator for blasting, and a pocket-sized flare gun. In addition to the basic functions, the tactical watch also has the function of talking and videography. George is able to use the camera in his watch to know what is happening in real time for tactical support. Detonators and flare guns are used to clear obstacles and call for help, respectively.

In the distance, the battle was in full swing.

You don't need a telescope zero to see the flames exploding in the gymnasium, as well as the smoke dragon that soars into the sky. This is the first time he has seen the war scene of the new era, yes, not a battle but a real war!

After waking up, Zero has participated in quite a few battles, but they are almost always team-based battles. The largest number of personnel involved was the conflict with Sauron, but Sauron's team was only a hundred soldiers, and it could not be called a war at all.

And now, a war is playing out right under Zero's nose.

Phoenix dispatched 2,000 troops, armed with missile systems, armored vehicles, and belted artillery vehicles. Such a force can only be regarded as a wing in the divisional corps that often numbered tens of thousands in the old era. But in the new era, being able to gather 2,000 troops and such a tank resource is enough to make Phoenix impressive.

After all, after the cataclysm, the number of people who survived Shijie was only a fraction of the total global population in the old era. And today, fifty years later, even though the reproductive period of human beings has shortened, the reproductive age has decreased, and the number of reproduction has increased. But after all, the time is too short, and the increase in the population is no more than a car. What's more, with such cruel living conditions in the new era, the number of tribulations that a baby has to go through from birth to adulthood is absolutely beyond imagination. And as long as one of them goes wrong, it means the fall of a life.

And in the wilderness, the least bad thing is death.

Even if population size is taken into account, weapons processing is a major problem. Different from the operation mode of the arsenal of the assembly line in the old era, the lack of resources, lack of manpower and other reasons have led to the transformation of weapons and equipment in the new era to finishing. This means that although the quality and power of weapons have been improved, the scarce production is destined to be unable to support the needs of large-scale wars.

As a result, one of the venturers' businesses also included digging up weapons and equipment from the old era and even chariots for sale. For example, the two belted artillery trucks used in Phoenix were purchased from the Adventure Traders, and were repaired and modified to be put into service.

Therefore, for the new era, a battle of more than 2,000 people can already be called a war, even though the opponent in Phoenix City is only about 500 Fenri wolves.

The battle is raging in the stadium, and it seems that the army of Phoenix City has the upper hand, but in fact, it is just a façade. First of all, there is the problem of firepower, whether it is missiles or artillery shells for artillery vehicles, the strategic resources of this heavy firepower are extremely limited, although Phoenix City has hoarded them, it is impossible to put them all into use for the sake of Finri wolf. As a result, the heavy firepower suppression that the two vehicles can provide is very limited, and with the exception of the first missile, which was taken by surprise at the beginning, it is difficult to kill the Finri wolf in a large area in the subsequent bombardment.

These strong and nimble demon wolves are not something that can be quickly wiped out by targeted attacks. Secondly, the relatively flexible network of fire is provided by the automatic machine gun in the soldier's hand. It is true that the 2,000-strong firepower network is a formidable force, but last night's battle has proven that the Finri Wolf's natural defense, Liliang, minimizes the power of the automatic machine gun. The most effective individual attack against them comes from a sniper rifle, but a sniper, even a first-order sniper, needs a lot of resources to develop.

With the power of Phoenix City, it has only cultivated about thirty snipers. Although there were as many as twenty snipers in the battle this time, they did harvest the lives of Fenri wolves every time they attacked, but after all, the number was too small, and the casualties caused were also pitiful.

As a result, Phoenix's superficial dominance won't last long. When the heavy firepower runs out of ammunition, Finri Wolf is more than capable of attacking Phoenix's network of ordinary soldiers. This is their home turf, and the battle won't last long, and when the Fenri wolves start to gain the upper hand, the other monsters will surely come and share the soup, and then it will be the end of this army.

So the key to this war is still in the king-killing group where Zero is located. As long as the king of the Fenli wolves is killed, the demon wolves who have lost their dispatch and their morale have plummeted will not be the opponent of the army.

This is also the characteristic of warfare in the new era, genetic evolution, the emergence of supernatural people, so that the balance of war is tilted from the number of warriors to the powerful individuals. A high-level supernatural person above the tenth order even has the terrifying strength to easily destroy an army of 5,000 people.

Just ten minutes after the battle began, George announced the start of Operation King. All the Adepts, including Zero, jumped out of the car, and then made a semicircle under George's command, cutting through the big rear towards the gymnasium.

When people get moving, different abilities move in different ways.

New, the Nethan, is like a human tank, basically running in a straight line. The cars and broken rocks that stood in front of him were either bounced off by him or directly knocked apart, and he himself did not even pause, and rushed directly towards the stadium as if he had entered a no-man's land.

As for Saario and Jenny, the way of movement is a bit softer. The difference is that Sario will always stop in the shadows and flash into another shadow. Jenny, on the other hand, is always on the high ground, or on the roof of a car, or on a crooked streetlamp. When she acted, she was engrossed, a little less charming, but a little more heroic.

Zuma's way of movement is arguably the most bizarre, his zero-like flickering forward is not the case. Zuma's body was always covered with a black mist, and the fog that enveloped him kept jumping and tumbling, and he himself did not even move on his toes.

The most casual of all is the swordsman Kazuo Watanabe, who doesn't run like Nethan, or jumps like Sario and Jenny, not to mention Zuma's weird way of moving. Kazuo Watanabe is only walking on two feet, but it seems to be slow, but in fact his speed is not inferior to anyone.

Silently observing all this, using only the speed of the third-order agility enhancement to follow everyone closely, Zero saw the unique movement of these abilities. He suddenly had a realization in his heart that different abilities determined different fighting styles, including the posture of the attack and the way of movement. This means that no matter how powerful an Ability is, the way he fights is bound to form something like a habit.

And once you have a habit, there will be weaknesses, as long as you find out the corresponding weaknesses, Zero will be invincible!

Naturally, it is not easy to identify the habits and weaknesses of the strong. That requires a lot of data calculations, and at present, with zero agility enhancement, it is not possible to perform such a huge amount of calculations on a rapidly changing battlefield. Regardless, Zero seems to be starting to find his own way of fighting.

That is to find out the weak points and kill them with one hit!
