Chapter 1491: Chapter 1491

Nothing beats the sheer pleasure of watching your arch-enemies being ambushed, while you can hide on the side and relish the moment. Through the electronic eye of the mechanical Hornets, Tang Zheng and his group saw that Fatty’s alliance had been attacked by Giant Soldiers three times already, leaving behind a significant number of first and second stage Conqueror corpses.

Despite the deaths being among the riffraff, the losses accumulated to a considerable toll. Apart from the group leaders of various teams, no one felt pity; instead, the death of their own team’s members bred resentment, leading to shirking of duties in hopes that everyone would suffer equally.

Fatty had dispatched capable lieutenants to protect Aya, apparently still unaware of her being counterfeit.

Witnessing this scene almost made the Warcraft brother laugh themselves sick, thinking Fatty was a complete fool. Of course, at this moment, no one doubted Dantai’s speculation.

"Tang Zheng’s team has quite a few individuals with great potential," noted the Warcraft brother as his gaze swept over Gu Xueqi, Queen Mu, and even Lu Fan, who all impressed him. Envious yet unwilling to face them in combat, he knew these intellectuals were the toughest adversaries.

"When do we make our move?" the Strong man asked, his face full of eagerness, yearning to avenge the arrow shot just earlier.

"Don’t be impulsive, they’re waiting for us to fall into their trap," Tang Zheng stopped the Strong man, advising everyone to keep their cool.

"No way, he hasn’t noticed us, right?" Fu Tianxiao had completely abandoned Yue Jing and squeezed next to Tang Zheng as if he were a member of the Warhammer team.

"You think they don’t have counter-tracking measures? Even if they hadn’t noticed before, following them for this long would have exposed us," pointed out Kevo, motioning towards Li Huiwen, "With a rookie like her, it’s like a firefly in the black night, directing the enemy right to us."

Li Huiwen was displeased, but wisely chose not to retort this time. She knew who not to provoke, as Kevo was clearly more cunning than the Strong man.

"Then why don’t they attack us?" asked Fatty, whose alliance had just finished off the third wave of Giant Soldiers and were uncertain about where to head next.

"Two reasons: one is to wait for reinforcements, and the other is to prioritize protecting Aya. If they were to engage with us, Fatty would also worry about our reinforcements arriving first," Lu Fan replied, nonchalantly licking a lollipop while adeptly following the team.

"It seems like we’re missing the bigger picture, shouldn’t we be searching for the real Aya instead of following them? Even if we win a team battle, failure to complete the mission means elimination!" Wei Xiangnan challenged, emboldened by the Warcraft brother’s status.

"And how do you propose we find her?" Kevo retorted.

"I..." Wei Xiangnan was stumped and argued without an answer, "Are you saying we have a way by following them?"

"Yes, we’ve been fighting up to now, and it’s likely that the Mitochondria’s high-end forces will show up soon. Capturing a captive could help us extract some intelligence," Tang Zheng tapped his Throat Microphone. "Don’t worry, I’ve already notified everyone to look for Aya’s location."

The group leaders nodded; indeed, this was the most prudent approach.

For a full ten minutes, both sides were in a standoff, neither making a move.

"Dantai, we’ve got people tailing us from behind, about twenty," Shen Qingshuang continuously monitored the rear using the dropped mini-machines.

"Spread out into individual squads, maintain a range where you can support each other," Dantai immediately responded to the situation. This way, they could avoid being surrounded, and when attacked, they could encircle their opponents.

The distant Conquerors from both sides began tentative attacks, but none were significantly successful. Lacking powerful figures to lead them, the Conquerors were cautious, and only fools would charge forward first.

Fatty shouted a few commands to attack on the communication channel, but to his frustration, he was met with silence and no response, prompting him to angrily rip off his headset.

When the fourth wave of Giant Soldiers appeared and surrounded Fatty, he didn’t try to break through but instead led them towards the invaders.

"Don’t think about taking advantage; let’s all be unlucky together." Fatty sneered viciously, spitting a thick glob of phlegm that took down half a building.

"Scatter!" Dantai yelled, and the Conquerors scattered like rabbits struck by an arrow, refusing to engage the enemy directly.

Nearly dead with anger, Fatty lead the Giant Soldiers in pursuit, firing incessantly, and took down another unfortunate first-stage victim. With no choice left, he had to lead everyone to face the battle.

"Long-range keep harassing Fatty; the rest go after those following us."

The twenty pursuers were no significant threat to Dantai, who, after assessing his own team’s setup, decided to strike a minor counterattack.

"Run!" The guardians hesitated on whether to support Fatty, but on seeing the invaders forming several groups and surrounding them, they were dumbfounded and hadn’t expected the enemies to dare attack.

"Psychic type," Dantai bellowed.

The guardians’ group leaders hesitated, debating whether to regroup with Fatty or retreat for safety, but were then ravaged by a Psychic Storm, causing instant disarray within the team.

The mere three hundred meters that separated the sides were but the blink of an eye for the fully empowered group leaders.

With a single wave of his hand, a cannon fodder was pulled to Tang Zheng’s front.

The Cannon Fodder raised their guns, released their abilities, and a red light shot out, then dispersed into a barrage, sweeping toward Tang Zheng.

Gravity barriers unfolded, deflecting all the bullets into the ammo clip. Just as the Cannon Fodder was about to open fire again, they saw their own body split into three pieces, blood spraying everywhere, followed by a piercing pain.

Group Leaders have keen eyesight; under a psychic attack, it’s invariably those with the weakest strength that are rigid the longest, so the first wave of assault specifically targeted such individuals.

In such a situation, the Guardians had no mind to consider that all those dying were just Cannon Fodder; instead, they thought the enemy was exceedingly strong, and so watching six teammates die in an instant, they totally lost the will to fight, their morale plummeted, and they turned tail to run.

"Strongmen, Warcraft Brother, they’re yours!" Tang Zheng unleashed gravity, like a Dragon Capturing Skill, drawing the invaders back and tossing them to them.

For a Level 2 Hero Group Leader, taking down a solitary Level 1 Hero was a piece of cake, especially with the aid of others.

In less than a minute, the three teams that rushed over were left with only their Group Leaders alive. Faced with the scene of Team Annihilation, they were almost internally injured with fury but could only run, unable to vent their frustrations.

"Stop chasing." Dantai called everyone back, continuing the wolf pack tactics, ready to pounce viciously whenever an opportunity arose.

Fatty also saw the end of those unhelpful Trojan Squads; feeling both relieved and depressed, a complex mix of emotions turned into a profound grudge.

Tang Zheng caused chaos for Fatty’s Team by unleashing gravity bombs, disrupting their formation, making them disadvantaged to the point of injury, although no one died, the interference led to continuous harm.

After an enormous effort, the Guardians finally dealt with the fourth wave of Giant Soldiers, and this time, they dared not trouble Tang Zheng but sped up their escape.

"Sha Ou, Eye Patch Man, let’s team up to snag a Cannon Fodder. Long-range Faction, attack our target." Tang Zheng opened fire. His gravitational field might not be as versatile as Sha Ou’s telekinesis, but plucking a few people out of formation was still manageable, and with the addition of the invisible hand of Eye Patch Man, it was more than enough.

A Third-order Cannon Fodder suddenly felt out of control, as if a giant hand of air had seized them, and they were yanked out of their team. The Psychic Storm bombarded them, causing dizziness, preventing the casting of shields, followed by the strikes of the Long-range Faction, which blasted them to death.

The Healing System cast a Healing Technique, but before it could take effect, the target was annihilated by the doubled firepower. With so many people focusing fire on one unfortunate soul, there was almost no escape.

Like fishing, Tang Zheng and his two companions reeled in those weaklings for concentrated fire. Sometimes instant kills were impossible, but because the unlucky ones were far from their teams and no one dared to save them, they still couldn’t escape death.

"Damn it, run faster." Fatty was almost internally injured by the dire scene; initially pleased with capturing Aya, he only now realized that was a huge pitfall.

"Just die, it’s just the weak and expendable Cannon Fodder anyway." Fatty consoled himself, but gradually noticed fewer and fewer people around him and that the enemy had started targeting Level 1 Hero Conquerors.

This was a psychological inertia; Cannon Fodder lacked presence, and no one cared about their life or death, so when the Level 1 Heroes began to fall, they didn’t offer each other a helping hand. By the time they realized, it was already too late.

"Group Leader, we need to think of something, this can’t go on." The tactician suggested, he had been silent, fearing being targeted, but now there was no choice. Morale had severely dropped, the psychological pressure of being hunted and the consumption of life energy wore them down, if this dragged on, they would collapse without the enemy lifting a finger.

"Charge back." Vivian couldn’t take it anymore, turning around to charge, Fatty did the same, but the enemy slyly dispersed and fled.

"Let’s use their tactics." Vivian had a Group Member of the Long-range Faction bind an enemy to drag over.

Before they could get close, Tang Zheng’s side unleashed a barrage from the sky, not only rescuing their companion but also killing that unlucky Long-range Cannon Fodder.

"Again!" Vivian roared, but no one dared to take the lead again.

"That one seems to be their Group’s tactician!" Lu Fan pointed out.

Because the tactician spoke up, he was targeted. The next second, Tang Zheng and his trio dragged him over.

"Group Leader, save me." The tactician yelled, Fatty hesitated for a moment, turned to chase back, but before he could get close, everyone had already opened fire at full firepower on the tactician.

Strongmen and Warcraft Brother faced Fatty while Tang Zheng and the others went all out to kill the tactician. Just as Vivian was preparing to lead the team to come over, they managed to succeed in killing him.

Led by Jiang Xiuming, the Psychic type fired at Fatty, giving Strongmen and Warcraft Brother a chance to disengage from combat.

Fatty continued to flee, and then the fifth wave of Giant Soldiers appeared. At that moment, he really wished he could throw Aya to the enemy.

Vivian was already roaring into the Communicator, requesting backup. The source of thɪs content is NovєlFіre.net

Tang Zheng and his companions were able to accomplish such rich War results, unsurprisingly, due to appropriate Tactics and, thanks to the elite Group Members. The group was nearly ten Teams pieced together, besides a few from the Warhammer Team, the rest were all incredibly strong.

Fatty and Vivian exchanged glances and suddenly sped up, carrying Aya in a sprint. They had received new information; Ferrando was directing them to head to the Metropolitan Opera House, Maggie leading the Team, preparing to ambush a female singer.

This woman had once undergone an organ transplant from Aya’s mother, and she might be a Plot character. Of course, the ambush set by Maggie was just perfect to catch these invaders in one fell swoop.

"It doesn’t seem quite right, look at their all-out charge, there must be some plot afoot." Kevo cautioned, a pity his words were always ignored. (To be continued. If you work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
