Helicopters roared across the sky, and black bombs rained down, causing countless casualties to the stubbornly resisting orc forces, whose territory continued to shrink.
In less than half a day, Lin Gu's troops advanced from the outer city into the inner city, heading straight for the military base.
Small reconnaissance planes surrounded the entire base, a dark mass that blocked out all light.
Zhou Siyu rested her chin on her hand, looking down at the displaced refugees on the roadside.
Their clothes were tattered and covered in dust. Their eyes were empty and dull, with tears still clinging to the corners of their eyes.
Before the war broke out, they were ordinary people who left early and returned late, arriving at their posts in the morning sun, finishing their work for the day, and rushing home in the evening sun to enjoy a hot dinner under the warm yellow light.
Now, they have lost their shelter and their warm homes, and have become refugees.
"I'm starting to feel lost. What am I fighting for? And for whom am I fighting?"
Yu Wei's words suddenly came to mind. Zhou Siyu closed her eyes, turned her head away, and couldn't bear to look anymore.
He began to understand why Yu Wei was unwilling to face everything and recklessly awakened another personality.
The huge gap between reality and imagination, the constant tug-of-war between right and wrong, the intertwining of good and evil—all of this was different from what he had envisioned.
The alliance suppressed the rebellion with its powerful firepower, but it also caused countless residents to lose their homes and loved ones, leaving them to flee their homes and become displaced.
Roses cannot bloom in ruins, and hope is buried in scorched earth.
They viewed the rebels as evil, but they overlooked the fact that, in some ways, they were also a mob.
"General Lin! Look..."
A soldier pointed incredulously at the screen, which showed live footage transmitted from a reconnaissance plane.
"Damn it! These beasts!"
Lin Gu slammed his fist on the table, his eyes bloodshot, his chest heaving violently.
A gaunt man was tied high to a flagpole, his short, dusty hair disheveled, the scorching sun baking the earth, his pale lips cracked like parched land, oozing blood.
After the shrill sound of the broadcast, a soft, gentle voice lingered for miles around.
"Upon first meeting, General Lin is indeed as rumored, with a dignified appearance and imposing presence..."
Lakaya stood out in the crowd in her white dress, her long golden hair shining even brighter in the sunlight.
"What do you want?" Lin Gu picked up the horn and banged it hard, then stood on the roof of the car: "Surrender now, and I might spare your life."
"General Lin has quite the big mouth." Lakaya crossed his arms and said lazily, "I simply wanted to borrow some food and weapons from General Lin, but I didn't expect him to make such a big fuss."
“I don’t want much, just a few tons of grain and munitions. That’s nothing to General Lin.” Lakaya pointed at Yu Zhen. “Let’s trade Madam Lin for it. It’s a good deal.”
"Dream on!" Lin Gu spat. "I won't switch with you."
"I see. Then I have no choice but to... send Madam Lin on her way..."
Lakaya tightened the rope in her hands, and Yuzhen raised her head in pain, struggling incessantly, her lips moving slightly as if she were saying something.
"Let him go, and I guarantee you'll leave alive."
Lin Gu clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself to calm down.
"Leave alive?" Lakaya clapped his hands and laughed heartily, then slowly said after a long while, "General Lin should worry about himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of winged orcs flew into the sky, their black gun barrels gathering energy, and blue lasers ripped through the sky, shooting down helicopters that couldn't dodge in time.
Another laser shot hit a short distance from the armored vehicle, creating a large crater in the ground.
"Laser cannon?"
Not only Lin Gu, but everyone else was stunned. Laser cannons are weapons specially supplied to the Alliance army, and the energy of each shot is strictly controlled. How could they have them?
"Helicopter evacuation..."
"Activate anti-laser defense, K7 rocket launchers, prepare..."
The cannon barrel quickly rose from the roof of the vehicle, aimed at the orcs baring their fangs and claws in the air, and at a command, thousands of arrows were fired, and feathers of all colors fell, creating a snow of feathers in the sky.
The screams echoed through the sky, and the smell of burnt raw meat mixed with the stench of blood made Zhou Siyu feel nauseous and almost vomit.
The helicopters withdrew, and the fighter jets, under the cover of rocket artillery, successfully took off and engaged the orcs in fierce combat.
The fighting was fierce in the air and on the ground. Fully armed soldiers quickly jumped out of their vehicles and formed ranks, using the vehicles as cover to engage the enemy.
The bullets clanged against the car. One bullet shattered the windshield and flew straight towards them. Lin Gu grabbed Zhou Siyu and pressed him down onto the chair.
Lin Gu quickly grabbed the bulletproof vest and threw it to Zhou Siyu, then pressed the helmet onto his head.
"Stay put and don't move."
After saying that, he pushed open the car door and used the car body as cover to roll to the other side.
He pressed a button on his belt, and a silver-black mecha instantly appeared, covering his limbs and finally his head.
"Group one, retreat! Group two, equip your mechs and provide cover!"
Zhou Siyu saw this scene in the rearview mirror and was extremely envious.
Who wouldn't love a mecha that can transform at any time?
"call out……"
"Bang..."
A bullet grazed her cheek, and a strand of long red hair fell to the ground, swaying in front of Zhou Siyu's eyes.
"Holy shit!"
This is intolerable! My hair, which I've painstakingly cared for for over twenty years, is gone just like that…
This place is not safe to stay for long.
Zhou Siyu made a quick decision, jumped out of the car, and used the cover to bend down and walk to the back of the car.
Why did you get down here?
Lin Gu turned his head and saw a magnified face, which almost scared him to death.
