Chapter 1621: Sci-Fi Side VS Fantasy Side!
Outside the white factory building, under the curtain of night.
The air was filled with the strong scent of gunsmoke.
Deafening gunshots rang out continuously.
Interspersed with low, bloodthirsty roars.
A squad composed of five Star Realm Soldiers was fiercely firing upon a crimson streak approaching from the darkness.
They tacitly exchanged positions, continuously firing while retreating in an orderly fashion.
Their breathing was rapid, their hearts pounding like drums, but their movements showed no sign of panic.
Every step back was accompanied by precise shooting,
Countless bullets drew visible green tracers, weaving a dense firepower net in the air.
But the expressions on their faces grew increasingly solemn.
Because it was clearly visible through their tactical goggles.
The bullets they fired couldn't harm the Baskerville Blood Hound ahead, which was covered in eyes and had a mouth full of sharp fangs.
Just then.
The body of the 'Baskerville Blood Hound' suddenly twisted violently, extending an extremely slender Blood Thorn that instantly covered a distance of dozens of meters.
It immediately pierced the chest of a Star Realm Soldier standing closer to the front.
A piercing scream echoed throughout the scene.
His Combat Uniform, which was sufficient to withstand Small-Caliber Rounds, was completely ineffective.
"Maz!!!"
The nearby Star Realm Soldier immediately exclaimed, but the Squad Leader's shout suddenly rang out in his ears.
"Get down!"
Long training made him instinctively perform the tactical maneuver.
Almost simultaneously, he felt something quickly graze the back of his head and heard a piercing whistling sound.
"Flash Bomb!"
The Squad Leader's anxious shout rang out again.
The Grenadier quickly threw out the Flash Bomb he had already prepared.
[Bang!]
In an instant, the darkness ahead was dispelled by the extreme strong light.
At the same time, the roar of an even more violent monster appeared.
This was a discovery they made by chance.
Strong light could temporarily force back the 'Baskerville Blood Hound'.
Only...
"Squad Leader, the Flash Bombs are used up!"
"What about the grenades?"
"There are two left!"
"Alright, continue alternating retreat!"
"What about Maz, Squad Leader?!"
However, the Squad Leader didn't answer this time, maintaining shooting while contacting the Command Center.
"Patrol Squad 216 calling Command Center!"
"Our squad has discovered that Flash Bombs can cause effective interference to the target!"
"Grenade explosions can cause some damage, but the target will recover its body within seconds!"
"Rifle rounds are ineffective against it, and finally... requesting support!"
The man from the Nuclear World shouted with a hoarse voice.
Bullets being ineffective was the most difficult part.
The Baskerville Blood Hound was like a fluid made of blood.
It could not only twist and change at will, but also let bullets pass right through it.
Furthermore, its movements were quite agile, making it difficult to hit even with the Assisted Aiming of Tactical Goggles.
To be honest.
They were not the first squad to exchange fire with the opponent.
The ten soldiers from the previous two squads had already been cruelly devoured.
The entire process took less than five minutes...
"Patrol Squad 216, this is the Command Center. Your troops are ordered to unite with other squads to hold the Factory Building Defense Line, restricting the target's spread range. Blazing Fire and Star Lion have already departed and are expected to arrive at the battlefield within three minutes."
Hearing 'Yuri''s cold order, the Squad Leader's mood immediately sank.
Hold the Defense Line, restrict the spread, three minutes...
They couldn't retreat any further!
But as soldiers, they naturally couldn't refuse.
They could only bite the bullet and relay the order to their teammates.
The others remained silent after hearing it, maintaining formation and guarding the edge of the Factory Building area.
They continued to pour bullets onto the rapidly approaching Baskerville Blood Hounds.
Even though they knew it was useless, the gunshots and tracers could provide a certain sense of safety.
The good news was that nearby Patrol Squads were arriving one after another.
They had quite a few Flash Bombs and grenades on them.
The bad news was that it attracted more Baskerville Blood Hounds.
Furthermore, they were not allowed to continue retreating, and were even required to push forward to force these monsters back.
This caused the casualty rate at the scene to begin rising sharply.
Screams, wails, roars, roars – even the gunshots couldn't suppress them.
In less than ten seconds.
The Squad Leader who had just contacted the Command Center had already become a corpse lying in a pool of blood.
But the surrounding comrades couldn't spare a thought for him.
Because every moment, someone was being pierced, devoured, or torn apart...
Fortunately.
Under the concentrated attack of five Prism Towers, Alucard was no longer able to manufacture more Baskerville Blood Hounds.
Soon.
One after another, 'Star Lion' Infantry Fighting Vehicles arrived.
[Dadadadada----]
The soldiers present immediately heard the sound of Heavy Machine Guns, like heavenly music, and the sound of Small-Caliber Autocannons.
Especially the Autocannons, which, with the support of intelligence, had been loaded with High-Explosive Rounds in advance.
[Bang!]
The gun barrel sprayed flame.
In the blink of an eye, it hit a pouncing Baskerville Blood Hound and blasted it apart on the spot.
The Star Realm Soldiers felt extreme excitement upon seeing this scene.
But seeing the Baskerville Blood Hound recover its body from the crimson color again, their mood turned gloomy.
How were they supposed to deal with this unkillable monster?
"All units attention, this is the Command Center."
Yuri's voice rang out in the ears of all the soldiers.
"After repeated confirmation, every time the target's body is torn apart by an explosion, one eye on its body disappears after recovery."
"There is a 43% probability that this is related to its recovery count. All troops in the Combat zone are requested to increase firepower intensity."
"When the probability reaches 80%, the Command Center will deploy 'Thunder Spear' to conduct targeted strikes against it."
Hearing this, the Star Realm Soldiers' eyes immediately lit up.
They all began carefully observing the terrifying crimson eyes on the Baskerville Blood Hounds.
Hmm... To be honest, there were too many to tell if any had decreased.
But everyone subconsciously chose to believe the 'Strong Artificial Intelligence'.
Moreover, this represented hope of killing the Baskerville Blood Hounds!
In an instant, everyone's morale greatly improved.
Yuri also seemed to understand people well.
It actually scanned every Baskerville Blood Hound within their line of sight through the Tactical Goggles, and gave them temporary designations.
At the same time, it recorded the number of eyes on their bodies.
Every time a grenade or Autocannon blasted apart a certain Baskerville Blood Hound.
The Tactical Goggles would prompt that the opponent had one less eye on its body.
Although this did not reduce casualties, people around them were still constantly dying.
But it truly increased the combat desire of the Star Realm Soldiers present.
Of course, this wasn't a bluff.
Yuri truly discovered that the eyes on the Baskerville Blood Hounds were decreasing.
At this moment.
It could be called a classic clash of Sci-Fi Side versus Fantasy Side!
Yuri was analyzing the Baskerville Blood Hounds' attributes and weaknesses at an incredible calculation speed.
For example, it was considering: would Coagulant Agent be useful against them?
Coincidentally, there was quite a bit of inventory inside the 'Star Radiance' Medical Surgery Vehicle.
They could try it later.
At the same time, this plan was recorded.
After obtaining permission from the Star Realm Legion Headquarters, it would be forwarded to 'Red Queen' at the Biochemical Research Institute.
At this time.
In the night sky, Attack Helicopters with the code name 'Blazing Fire' appeared one after another.
They came from the Port of Warrenpoint, so they were a bit slower than the 'Star Lions'.
But their appearance greatly reduced the pressure on the Ground Forces.
Fierce Aerial Firepower began to turn the battle situation, gradually suppressing the rampaging Baskerville Blood Hounds.
The Star Realm Soldiers could visually see the 'Eye Numbers' decreasing at a faster speed through their Tactical Goggles.
