Old Li and Qin Sheng worked very well together. Their combat style seed to be mainly focused on Old Li as the lead fighter while Qin Sheng stayed at his side to complent his attacks. The dozen or so Experintals that had climbed up the stronghold walls were actually unable to get near them for a while. Any ti an Experintal tried to get close to Old Li, it would imdiately get knocked back by Qin Sheng with a punch or be sent flying down to the bottom of the stronghold walls.Ren Xiaosu could see through his spotting scope that the young man nad Qin Sheng was still not used to his power yet. So he was not as confident in combat as Old Li was. But even so, Qin Sheng’s punches were still capable of breaking the Experintals’ bones.
While Old Li and Qin Sheng were fighting the Experintals, the Pyro Company mbers also arrived. They imdiately ford a new line of defense around the two Riders to stop any Experintals that had just climbed up the wall. The Pyro Company mbers had willingly beco Old Li’s support, with the battle solely centered around Old Li.
The strength of Pyro Company had always been asured by the quantity, not quality, of its mbers. Of course, this did not apply to their more advanced fighting forces.
At the very least, those in the Midnight and Dusk squads were well aware of their own capabilities. That was why they always fought in teams of five.
For example, to fight head-on against a Rider-level supernatural being like Old Li, their Dusk squad would require at least 15 mbers.
Of course, this was only hypothetical. The relationship between the Pyro Company and the Riders was still very good, so there was no reason for them to fight.
Mass producing supernatural beings was what the Pyro Company was strong at.
The 17 supernatural beings on the stronghold walls were moving together like a sharp arrow, with Old Li spearheading the attacks on the Experintals. Wherever he went, the others would follow and give him their support.
Only by constantly taking down the Experintals that had climbed up the stronghold walls could the Zhou Consortium’s troops continue using their heavy firepower to cut off the advancent of the Experintals erging from the forest in the distance.
Old Li also knew their role was to engage in close combat with the Experintals atop the stronghold walls. As for killing the Experintals on a larger scale, they would still have to rely on firearms to achieve that. Therefore, they would have to guard this area, as the Zhou Consortium troops were the true protectors of the city.
At this mont, the Zhou Consortium troops that had responded to the reinforcent calls at the western walls earlier finally got back. They did not even look at the battle on Old Li’s side and imdiately started setting up a new firing point not too far away.
A soldier said in fear, “Sir, the Experintals have climbed onto the stronghold walls!”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” A battalion commander of the Zhou Consortium troops sneered, “These people helping to guard the stronghold are not even afraid yet, so what are you afraid of? Just do your part well. Your family and friends need you to defend the city for them. What you should be doing now is pulling the trigger and stopping those Experintals from advancing, not being scared of them.”
His n clenched their teeth and started firing the heavy machine gun they had just set up. They acted as though they could not see the terrifying Experintals roaring at them just so dozen ters away.
In the battle to defend the stronghold, be it the Zhou Consortium, the Pyro Company, or the Riders, everyone was trying their best to do what was necessary of them. They were no longer children, so they had to understand that only by doing their duty could the stronghold be protected.
When Ren Xiaosu saw this, he was a little shocked.
He had experienced wars before and was personally involved in the one that happened in the Northwest so ti ago. He had even declared war against an entire stronghold by himself.
But those were wars between humans.
Now that humans were facing an external enemy, the different organizations had abandoned their own interests and positions to fight together on the sa side. This was a completely different kind of feeling.
The 15 Pyro Company mbers were probably sleeper agents hiding in Stronghold 74. Their original mission might have been to capture supernatural beings in the stronghold, but now they had put everything aside so they could help to fend off external enemies.
The Experintals on the southern walls were gradually getting pushed back, and so of the Experintals that had climbed up were even jumping off the walls by themselves. This probably signaled the Experintals were about to retreat.
Ren Xiaosu silently turned around and left. It looked like he would not have to take action this ti. Old Li and Qin Sheng’s skills were comparable to his, so with those two around, the Experintals would not find it easy to summit the stronghold walls.
However, the Experintals’ attack was still ongoing.
All of a sudden, chaos broke out in the southwest of the stronghold. The logistics troops there started screaming, and residents were running out of their houses and fleeing for their lives towards the center of the stronghold. It was like sothing extrely terrifying was chasing them.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly raised his head and looked up at the stronghold walls. The battle over there was still going, and it looked like the Zhou Consortium troops had yet to react to this new group of Experintals that had infiltrated the stronghold.
But there was no gap in the defensive line on top of the stronghold walls, so how did these Experintals get in?
Ren Xiaosu picked up his spotting scope again and was surprised to see a one-ter-wide hole in the southwestern walls where Experintals were crawling out from.
And the reason the logistics troops and residents were screaming was because of the sudden appearance of these monsters!
Only at this mont did Ren Xiaosu feel shocked. As it turned out, no matter how strong the Experintals’ attacks were earlier, all of their attempts were just to cover for this group of Experintals that had infiltrated.
Those Experintals had been preparing for who knew how long and had actually dug a tunnel that led into the stronghold from the wilderness outside.
What Ren Xiaosu did not know was that the Experintals had left the Qing Consortium’s territory a long ti ago and been in the Central Plains for a while now. However, be it Old Li or the Zhou Consortium troops, everyone thought they had just gotten here.
Of the many preparations the Experintals had made, they were all done for the sake of this tunnel.
The mont they dug closer to the stronghold, the main forces of the Experintals began their attack. All of that was not for anything else but to attract the attention of the forward facing troops. The Experintals had used the commotion caused by the humans firing their weapons to drown out the sound of their digging of the tunnel.
It was only at this mont when the tunnel was completely dug through that the real attack began.
Ren Xiaosu felt a chill running down his spine. He had also faced the Experintals before, but to know they could already apply their intelligence in battle? To plan wave after wave of strategic attacks against their enemy?
Then could there co a day when the Experintals might use humanity’s own cannons to attack their cities?
Ren Xiaosu looked at that tunnel. As it wasn’t wide enough, not many Experintals erged from it.
But if these Experintals destroyed the defense network of the stronghold from the inside or climbed the stronghold walls from behind and took out the heavy machine gun nests, that would probably be very troubleso.
Ren Xiaosu put away his spotting scope and went against the flow of the fleeing crowd. If even the Pyro Company had stepped forward to help, there was no reason for him to keep standing back.
Weren’t they just so Experintals?
In the crowd, his white-masked shadow clone was already rushing towards the Experintals to attack. When one of the Experintals saw the shadow clone, it pounced. However, the shadow clone leaped up and grabbed the Experintal’s gray, tough, and rough face with its hand and shoved it violently into the ground.
One knee on the ground, the shadow clone released its grip from the Experintal. The Experintal was no longer moving. The brain of this monster had been smashed into paste by the attack, and even the stone path on the ground had cracked!
The other Experintals that were chasing after the humans gradually ca to a stop. They turned towards the shadow clone and surrounded it.
