Chapter 773: Occupying Saiboke Yuanqu (7)

Ultimately, after paying a heavy price in casualties, the emerging Cyberk soldiers began to dwindle until no new enemies appeared, and that Canglei Cyberk sniper who had caused massive casualties also vanished under the continuous suppression of the Mortar.

At the smoke-filled intersection, the surviving Tallarn soldiers gasped for air, backs against wreckage or the corpses of comrades, watching every direction with vigilance.

Scattered on the ground were twisted Cyberk remains, and even more were the remains of Tallarn soldiers in tan uniforms, dead in various states.

Medics wove through the groans of the wounded; there was little they could do but use hemostatic gel and bandages to try to delay the passing of life.

The air was thick with the heavy stench of blood, ozone, molten metal, and the foul odor of charred flesh.

A Tallarn Captain walked over, stepping through viscous blood and metal shards; his uniform was also riddled with holes, seeping with blood.

He looked at this killing field, at those faces—young or no longer young—now forever frozen in pain and anger, and at those soldiers still gritting their teeth, their eyes burning with a fatigue that had not yet extinguished the flames of vengeance.

He did not speak, only patted the shoulder of the Platoon Leader, who was covered in Blood Bath and still operating a Stubber.

Then he leaned down, gently took the blood-stained, desert-colored battle flag representing the Tallarn Regiment from the stiff hands of a fallen soldier, and thrust it firmly into the highest pile of metal ruins at the intersection.

The flag snapped in the wind, which was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

"Reinforce the position!"

The Tallarn Captain's hoarse voice rang out in the ears of the surviving Tallarn soldiers.

"Hold this place! Hold every passage! For the Emperor, for our fallen brothers, for the glory of Tallarn! Before we fall, do not let a single piece of Alien scrap pass through here and disturb the Angel inside who is avenging us!"

The soldiers silently executed the orders, moving wreckage to build cover, setting up weapons, and bandaging the wounded.

Their defensive line was built upon the corpses of their companions; it was crude and blood-stained, yet it radiated a heart-wrenching, mortal sense of tragedy and resolve.

The sound of gunfire from the direction of Saiboke Yuanqu remained intense, and from the direction of that giant gate in the core area, even duller thuds of impact could be heard.

Outside Saiboke Yuanqu.

Three Titans provided fire support from the rear, but since the objective this time was to occupy Saiboke Yuanqu, not destroy it, these three Titans were not firing at full capacity.

Their massive Sensor Array constantly scanned the entire battlefield and the areas further beyond.

Suddenly, the Warlord Titan Captain's low voice sounded on the Titan communication network.

"Large high-energy reaction detected! Bearing: Northwest quadrant of the zone! Quantity: 20! Classification: Confirmed Saiboke Yixing Titan units! Approaching at high speed!"

The Warlord Titan Captain's voice sounded on the internal Titan communication network.

The Sensor Array of the three Titans instantly locked onto the dust rising at the edge of the horizon.

In the dust were those massive metal silhouettes moving at high speed, radiating cold murderous intent.

The Saiboke Giant Soldier cluster trampled the earth, their heavy footsteps making the ground in the distance tremble, and the roar of their engines merged into a heart-wrenching tide.

"Target locked!"

The Reaver Titan Captain responded, the tone equally cold and concise.

"Main weapons charging."

The Warhound-class Titan Captain added.

The weapon arrays of the three Titans began to adjust their angles, the muzzles slowly rotating to point at the surging Saiboke Giant Soldier cluster.

Inside the muzzles of the Volcano Cannon, Laser Burst Cannon, and plasma burst cannons, energy began to gather, emitting a low hum, and the air distorted due to the high heat.

"Target confirmed: Alien Giant Mech cluster. Threat level: High. Execute annihilation protocol."

The Warlord Titan Captain's attack order was issued.

"Boom—!!!"

The Warlord Titan's signature Volcano Cannon muzzle suddenly spat out a terrifyingly wide torrent of incandescent energy.

This Light Lance tore through the air, carrying enough terrifying energy to level a mountain, and shot toward a Shield Guard Type giant soldier surrounded by a distinct diamond-shaped Energy Shield in the cluster at supersonic speed.

The incandescent torrent slammed into the diamond shield!

"Hum—crackle—!!!"

The shield instantly erupted with blinding light, and energy ripples surged wildly.

However, under the attack of the Warlord Titan's Volcano Cannon, this shield held for less than 2.5 seconds.

"Bang—crack!"

The shield shattered and annihilated with a roar.

The incandescent stream of light poured into the thick chest core of the Shield Guard Type giant soldier without obstruction.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang.

Blinding white light devoured everything.

The sixty-meter-tall behemoth had its upper body and core area instantly vaporized into a terrifying hole dozens of meters in diameter.

Molten metal liquid flowed out from the edges of the breach.

The remaining massive wreckage, billowing thick smoke and electric sparks, stumbled forward under inertia and finally collapsed with a loud crash.

It triggered a secondary explosion of internal ammunition and energy, and a Fireball shot into the sky!

Almost at the same instant the Warlord Titan opened fire, the Reaver Titan's Laser Burst Cannon locked on rapidly!

It fired several Laser Beam shots!

Several high-energy Laser Beam shots, condensed to the extreme and appearing as blinding white-hot light, pierced toward a Reconnaissance Type giant soldier at the edge of the cluster that was moving with unusual agility and attempting to approach under the cover of building ruins!

This thirty-meter-tall giant soldier was extremely fast, but it had nowhere to hide before the Titan's precision fire control system!

"Zzz—pop! Pop! Pop!"

The high-energy Laser Beam shots ignored the Reconnaissance Type giant soldier's fragile stealth coating and relatively thin light armor, instantly melting several deep, red-edged, bottomless holes through its streamlined body.

One of the beams precisely pierced its micro Energy Core, which was located under its chest and protected by layers!

"Boom—!"

Internal explosion.

The Reconnaissance Type giant soldier instantly turned into a mass of violently burning, twisted metal trash; the burning fragments were thrown in all directions by the shockwave of the explosion, hitting nearby buildings and triggering a series of small-scale collapses.

An Assault Giant Soldier, relying on the terrifying speed provided by its bionic reverse-articulated joints, was rapidly charging from the flank toward the relatively smaller Warhound-class Titan.

The two massive Power Swords extended from its arms, their Disruption Fields flickering with a ghostly blue light, intending to tear this "small" Titan to shreds!

"Threat: High-speed melee unit. Activating close-defense protocols."

The voice of the Warhound-class Titan's pilot was devoid of inflection.

The Warhound-class Titan's Plasma Blastgun charged rapidly, its muzzle lighting up with a heart-stopping, unstable blue-white glow as the energy inside churned violently!

"Hum—Boom!"

A massive ball of plasma, as scorching and pulsating as a small sun, was fired.

It struck predictively on the path the Assault Giant Soldier was violently charging along.

The Assault Giant Soldier slammed headlong into the plasma, and the plasma instantly exploded.

"Sizzle—!"

The tough bionic tendon bundles instantly carbonized, snapped, and turned to ash under the high heat capable of vaporizing Jinjin in an instant.

The thick composite armor rapidly peeled away and melted under the licking of the plasma flames.

Its momentum of the charge was instantly checked.

Its massive body burned violently and twisted out of shape within the blue-white hellfire.

The Disruption Field on the Power Sword flickered frantically a few times before finally extinguishing completely.

This Assault Giant Soldier had become a metal tomb, burning violently and collapsing continuously within the plasma flames!
