28 The Assault of Warriors (1/2)

Fatty was still a completely heartless scoundrel. After Mei Duo and Ni Ya’s confession, he had merely retreated while thinking to himself, ”Damn, I must survive. This father is still a virgin. 3P! Thinking about it makes me feel the itch.”

20 minutes passed really quickly. The Myth Legion’s Battle Mechas reached the location of the ambush.

At this moment, the sky was full of dark clouds and had started turning amber as the forest became slightly dark and tenebrous. The ten Myth Battle Mechas were like beasts going out to hunt at night, stealthily appearing in front of the third group.

This was Caleb’s first time as a commanding officer. This high-flyer, who graduated from the Steel Combat Academy for Officers, had been assigned to the ground-based armored division combat department, becoming a staff officer who outlined the maps and battle plans. What he liked the most was the art of combat. After the war had started, he followed the active unit, 22nd Ground-based Armored Division, and went to Miracolo Planet while requesting a few times to become a commanding officer within an active combat unit. However, he had been rejected.

”I never would have thought that my very first time as a commanding officer in a live battle would be under this kind of situation,” Caleb mocked himself. Dozens of days ago, he was truly excited over the fact that his dream had come true. As a battalion commander, he was stationed in the newly re-established Aviation Squadron 9th Division located in New Rome after the Federation regained control over the airfields. But who would have thought that the moment he was going to officially begin his duty, the transport ship he was on would be forced to descend after taking damage, eventually causing him to become a prisoner-of-war of the Imperial Army. Indeed, life was even thinner than paper.

He surveyed his surroundings. The soldiers from Group Three had reached their designated temporary positions and were currently awaiting his next order.

Depending solely on Group Three to put up a fight against the 10 Battle Mechas from Myth Legion was clearly impossible. If they were not in a position of ambush and were fighting on an equally flat plain, then this group comprising of over 60 soldiers could possibly be wiped out in less than a minute.

What Caleb was stressed over was the five minutes given to them by the fat first lieutenant.

The Battle Mechas of the Myth Legion were disorganized. Stopping right in front of the location of ambush, it was apparent that they had discovered something amiss in the location. They questioned the captives’ plan of using just this group of people to cover the big group who were escaping. Had they gone crazy?

The Myth Battle Mechas did not proceed with their attack. Clearly, these Federation prisoners-of-war were hiding and preparing to ambush them, yet right now, even after they entered the zone of ambush, the Federation did not fire at all. That was really puzzling.

Their Battle Mechas’ radars were anxiously scanning the region several kilometers radius around them.

”Don’t fire, we surrender.” Caleb extended his head out of the temporary defensive structure built. Since the enemies were hesitating, he decided to make use of this opportunity.

”Stand at your original position and do not move, pitiful insect,” a Myth Battle Mecha emitted out an extremely cold and cruel sound from an electronic loudspeaker. He was full of disdain towards this group of Federation soldiers.

”Alright, alright.” Caleb had an expression of terror as he went back down.

Maybe they were trying to ascertain if there were any more soldiers hiding around them, but after a period of time, the leading Battle Mecha shouted out to Caleb, ”Captain, ask your soldiers to put down those pitiful playthings in their hands before coming out one by one. Anyone who dares to fire will mean that all your lives are forfeit.”

”Alright, alright.” Caleb looked towards the time. Three minutes had passed.

Seeing as how Caleb had shouted out a promise but did not move, the leading Battle Mecha felt impatient. ”Faster!”

”But, damn it. I don’t really feel like surrendering now, son of b**** from Gyaca Woods.” Caleb laughed out loud from behind the defensive structure. All the other Federation soldiers laughed along with him.

The laughter was full of mockery and arrogance. It was a type of sneer used to tease idiots.

”Fire!” Using the opportunity before the enemies could react, Caleb sent down his order with a maniacal laugh.

The light firepower coming from the hands of the Federation’s soldiers resounded out in the forest. The red-hot energy shots were like fire dragons, charging out fiercely while flashing in a dazzling white light.

The soil on the surface had been lifted up from the ground by the incoming energy shots. Trees after trees were penetrated by the bullets as wood shavings flew around. The dust, leaves, wood shavings, and smoke were flying and mixing together, enveloping the entire area in front of the ambush point.

”Fools, let me send you a greeting from your mother.” Amidst the resounding sounds of fire, Caleb’s loud laughter was full of craziness and boldness.

A large amount of energy shots, bullets, and lasers had hit accurately on the Myth Legion’s Battle Mechas, yet other than dodging several armor-piercing energy shots, they were practically unmoving as if they were elephants being attacked by ants.

The Myth Legion’s Battle Mechas were currently waiting for their leader to give the order.

”Exterminate!” the leading Myth Battle Mecha coldly shouted out that single word. His voice was akin to a cold venomous snake amidst the vicious sounds of shooting.
