1236: Chapter 1236: Turning the Tide of Battle 1236: Chapter 1236: Turning the Tide of Battle The duel between the mysterious masked person and the boss had reached its conclusion, while the battle on the other side had also co to its final mont.
Just as the bloodsucking creatures were about to breach the defensive line, everyone’s face was etched with despair.
Parts of the position had already been inundated by the tide of bloodsuckers, and those who stood their ground unyielding were ultimately torn to shreds.
Lin Xi, controlling the blood-sucking birds, barely managed to hold off the blood-sucking bats.
Gu Fan and Su Hui’s combat abilities were also insufficient against so many bloodsuckers, and with a lack of ammunition, no one could see any glimr of hope.
Suddenly, sothing happened behind the bloodsucking creatures, resulting in many of them wailing.
Limbs and heads of the creatures were sent flying into the air, as if so force was rampaging through their ranks.
Although unaware of what had transpired, the bloodsuckers began to be drawn to that force, converging on it with all their might.
The bloodsuckers had broken through the direction of the stronghold, and many had surged in, but no more followed; all were pursuing that formidable force.
Gu Fan and Su Hui didn’t know what had happened, but they were thankful that this force had bought them ti.
In the camp, the remaining thousand survivors picked up their weapons to fight the bloodsuckers.
So had just fired a shot when a bloodsucker pounced on them, biting them to pieces, while others were hunted by groups of three and ultimately couldn’t escape.
The battle in the camp could only be described as a one-sided slaughter.
Without any cover or sturdy defense lines, and outnumbered, the rcenaries were often bitten by groups of ten or more and, amid their howls, dragged into the dark woods.
Amidst screams, cries for help, and rcenary scatter, escape was futile as bloodsuckers had already surrounded them.
Their only option left was to make a last desperate stand.
At that ti, the general had already hidden inside the makeshift steel stronghold.
Built from solid steel plates, it was easy to assemble and dismantle, very sturdy, and had considerable space, sheltering many people.
The steel bunker was equipped with nurous machine guns, and the defenders began to attack the bloodsuckers outside using this lone defense line.
The bloodsuckers were quickly drawn to the steel stronghold, with waves charging at it, bashing their heads, biting with teeth, and scratching with claws, but to no avail against the steel fortress, even falling under the intense gunfire.
There were several such steel strongholds, arranged in a character ‘品’ formation, which allowed for mutual protection and support.
The bloodsuckers that charged had no chance of success.
At this mont, Gu Fan and Su Hui had run to their companions’ side and saw that Lin Xi was still in the midst of casting a spell, prompting them to interrupt helplessly, “It’s over, Miss Lin.
We can’t hold this position anymore; we have to leave quickly.”
“No, we can hold it.
Just a bit longer is all we need,” Lin Xi said with certainty, then pointed in the direction where many bloodsuckers were being flung by so force, with the wailing continuing unabated.
Su Hui took a look and frowned.
Judging by the waning onslaught of the bloodsuckers, could it be that they had a chance to win this fight?
Lu Yi felt pessimistic.
He was about to speak when Ouyang Jin, who had been on alert for so ti, quickly covered his mouth.
Then Ouyang Jin said, “We can’t escape, and there’s no reinforcent.
We’re truly at the end of our rope, what’s the point in holding on?”
Lu Yi forcefully pried Ouyang Jin’s hand from his mouth and imdiately expressed his strong dissatisfaction, “What do you an?
You won’t let be a doomsayer, but now you’re the one being a doomsayer.”
“I’m not as much of a doomsayer as you are, just talking wouldn’t cause any trouble,” Ouyang Jin said with an air of nonchalance that made Lu Yi disdain him.
It was at this mont that the ard helicopters arrived, looming from above and sweeping the ground with fierce vitality, tearing many of the bloodthirsty creatures to shreds.
“We have a chance!” Gu Fan gripped the wooden spike in his hand and said resolutely, “Lin Xi, continue casting spells; we’ll hold this position.”
“Okay!” Lin Xi imdiately returned to her spell-casting state, taking control of the blood-sucking birds again.
They dove in flocks, targeting the bloodthirsty creatures that had invaded the campsite, saving many lives from the jaws of the creatures.
Gu Fan listened to the screams around him, unshaken.
He stayed alert, and whenever a bloodthirsty creature rushed in, he and Su Hui tead up to take it down.
The ard helicopter roared over Gu Fan’s head but was rapidly brought down by a collision with two vampire bats, crashing into the ground in a horrifying burst of flas.
However, other ard helicopters arrived soon after, riddling the vampire bats with holes, avenging their comrades and firmly securing air superiority.
The tide of battle shifted again as the bloodthirsty creatures emitted strange cries and began to retreat quickly.
It seed they realized they could no longer continue the attack and decided to give up.
The few survivors watched as the horde of bloodthirsty creatures that had surged like a tide now retreated in the sa way.
Everyone was stunned, hardly daring to believe they could survive.
More ard helicopters rushed in, flying quickly and high, seizing absolute air superiority from their towering vantage points.
Gu Fan realized why the bloodthirsty creatures were retreating—they knew that his reinforcents had co and that continuing the fight was futile, so they turned tail and left.
After the battle, many people walked out of the steel fortress, looking at the twisted and deford steel plates with wonder.
It was hard to imagine how much longer the steel fortress could have held up against the assault of the bloodthirsty creatures.
Out of the three thousand people in the campsite, fewer than five hundred survived, and most of them had only made it by hiding inside the steel fortress.
Irina and a dozen mbers of the Hunter’s Guild had also been spared by taking shelter in the steel fortress.
When Irina erged, her first action was to look for Gu Fan and the others.
She found that Gu Fan, Lin Xi, Su Hui, Ouyang Jin, and Lu Yi were all safe and sound—they had all survived.
“Are you really okay?” Irina had to admire them, thinking secretly that perhaps the next ti there was danger, just staying by Gu Fan’s side would an safety.
Lu Yi also remarked, “It’s mutual.
I hope the next ti you decide to abandon us and flee for your lives, you won’t forget that we are still your companions.”
Upon hearing this, Irina’s expression turned sowhat embarrassed.
The situation had been urgent, and the Hunter’s Guild had suffered many casualties.
The bloodthirsty creatures seed to be right on them.
And Lin Xi was motionless in her spell-casting state.
So, with no other option, Irina had made the choice she believed was right.
Just then, a person stepped into the campsite, drenched in blood yet unhard.
He had been through a battle but didn’t look the slightest bit fatigued.
Instead, he greeted everyone amicably, “Sorry everyone, I arrived late, but luckily I made it in ti.”
Seeing this person, everyone couldn’t help but ask, “Zhuo Hang, where have you been?”
True enough, the one who had been wading through the horde of bloodthirsty creatures, causing havoc and slaughtering them en masse, was none other than Zhuo Hang.
