Chapter 920 – God Beast Black Spotted Golden Leopard
Mogadishu, Palace.
The Somalia King sat in the main hall. He was waiting for the victory battle report from the frontlines.
Player Abadi provided the thought of using the civilians as bait, and the Somalia King turned it into an airtight strategy. As a result, they successfully turned things around.
Just last night, that mysterious person had contacted the Somalia King once more to promise him that as long as Somalia managed to push back the first wave of troops, they would act to prevent Great Xia from launching more crusades.
Hence, the Somalia King did not even think about escaping.
His plan was flawless, and there was no chance that it could fail. Thinking about the glory he would get for crushing Great Xia, the Somalia King gloated to himself.
As for those civilian who died, in front of a huge victory, who would blame him? At most, he would give them the identities of valiant warriors to calm down the protests.
At that time, he, the Somalia King, would have the greatest glory and power.
Thinking about this, the Somalia King nearly burst out laughing.
“What a beautiful time!”
…
1 PM.
The battle on the north and south sides were already entering the white hot stage. The Infantry Divisions on both wings were pretty much wiped out. Only the dragon blood war cavalry was barely holding on.
Especially in the south, under Ma Teng’s leadership, the dragon blood war cavalry did not give the enemy a chance to surround them, and they managed to cause massive damage to the Alliance Army.
As expected from one of the trump cards of the Great Xia Army.
Fortunately, the Alliance Army had the numerical advantage. Although they could not crush the dragon blood war cavalry, the cavalry could not break away to assist the middle forces either.
The battle seemed to continue in this way.
At this very moment, Alvaro personally led the 20 thousand navy troops and quietly arrived at the outer circle of the battlefield. Right as he reached there, the firearm squad shot of three rounds, inflicting hefty damage to the Alliance Army.
The three section strike was a typical shooting technique of the matchlock, and it was similar to the crossbow techniques of the cold weapons era. As the guns could not shoot successively and needed time to reload, they needed a way to raise the shooting efficiency.
This type of killing, apart from damaging the enemy, had a more important psychological impact.
First, the Alliance Army could never imagine that the Great Xia would have reinforcements now. They thought that the middle troops of the Great Xia Army had broken out, scaring them out of their wits.
Calming down and looking, they realized that it was the navy.
Secondly, this was the first time Great Xia had mobilized the firearm squadron on land. Facing such brutal weapons, the Somalia natives panicked.
Without a doubt, the arrival of the navy totally broke their war tempo. On the other hand, the trapped Ma Teng seemed to gain a sudden influx of energy, coordinating with the navy to launch an even more intense assault.
“Brothers, let these wild brutes learn of the strength of the dragon blood war cavalry!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The dragon blood war cavalry themselves were a group of Asuras. There had been a lot of pent up frustration because of the situation they were facing, and they had wanted to engage in free killing for a while now. The moment they got the order, they launched an even fiercer charge toward the Alliance Army.
To be able to launch cavalry charges while in an enemy formation, probably only the Guards Legion Corps could do such a thing.
All of a sudden, the south side Somalia Alliance Army was pincered.
If they used their men to wipe out the Great Xia navy, the dragon blood war cavalry would bite them. If they focused on the cavalry, the navy would tear them to shreds.
It was a terrible situation.
The south side was progressing toward a beneficial situation for the Great Xia.
At the same time, the middle troops of the Great Xia Army acted.
As expected from a famous general, Di Qing had remained calm. He ordered the middle troops to split into two and move north and south, leaving an empty space in the middle for the civilians to pass through.
It was like combining the three checkpoints to form a huge floodgate.
With that, the huge crowd swarmed toward the back of the army like a flood, reducing the chaos on the battlefield.
At the same time, Di Qing ordered the troops to strike the players amongst the civilians and not give them a chance to cause anymore chaos.
Even if this resulted in unintended casualties, they had to do it.
Apart from solving the problem with the civilians, Di Qing was more focused on the two wings. The three divisions of the dragon blood war cavalry were ordered to quietly move toward the two sides.
Di Qing gave Lu Bu an order, which was to not immediately throw them on the north and south battlefield. Instead, he was to cut to the city gates and lock down their retreat path.
As long as the Alliance Army was trapped outside the city, the Great Xia Army would win without a doubt.
When Lu Bu got the order, he led the two wings around.
Di Qing was dissecting the Somalia King’s vicious plan piece by piece. However, the Somalia King was still unaware of it all, and he was still daydreaming in the palace.
…
In an alley not far away from the palace, the marines had secretly gathered up. They were waiting for the Flying Squad to complete the bombing of the palace to shift the attention of the guards.
The marines only had a regiment full of people, as more than half of them were left in Morocco. Less than a thousand of them followed the 4th and 5th divisions over.
To try to breakthrough into the palace defended by two thousand guards was not easy.
Luckily, they had the Flying Squad.
Just as Alvaro led the navy to assist Ma Teng’s forces, the Flying Squad was over the skies of the palace.
To them, this was an unusual mission, as this was the first time they had an actual target. Usually, it was just random bombings, and they did not need to be precise.
Their mission was to try and spread the guards, and it was best if they could cause a lot of casualties.
‘Hong! Hong! Hong!’
To move out the guards, the first round of bombings was focused on the main hall of the palace.
“What is that?” The guards did not understand what was happening.
“No good, the palace is on fire!”
“Quick; his majesty is still in the main hall!”
The guards panicked and gathered toward the main hall.
The Somalia King was still daydreaming, and the sudden bombing caused him to drop to the floor in fear. His face was ashen white as he asked, “What’s happening!”
The guards defending outside rushed into the hall at this time, “Your majesty, there are monsters attacking from the skies.”
“Flying monsters?” The Somalia King did not understand, “Quick; let’s move!”
The Somalia King was looking forward to a huge victory and did not want to lose his life here. Under the protection of the guards, he moved to an underground room beneath the palace.
This was the first time the Somalia King felt a hint of uneasiness.
“Where did those monsters come from?”
The Somalia King did not dare to continue thinking about it; the battlefield was changing toward the unknown.
…
The guard troops who rushed over were busy extinguishing the fires. Meanwhile, the Flying Squad continued to bomb the main hall, throwing the bombs into the closely packed soldier groups.
‘Hong! Hong! Hong!’
The Somalia guards had never seen such a thing before, and they suffered heavy casualties.
‘Howl~~’
At this very moment, a leopard roar broke out. It was the country protector beast of Somalia, an African black-spotted golden leopard.
With the palace under siege, the god beast had finally awoken.
This golden leopard was as tall as a person, and its body was close to four meters in length. It was three to four times the size of a normal leopard. There were black spots on its golden fur, making it look really noble.
The spots on its head were small and close together, while the spots on its back were bigger.
‘Howl~~’
The golden leopard opened its mouth and spat out a white light bullet, which smashed into one of the mimicry flying devices. The device exploded in mid-air, killing the person instantly.
Such power was truly shocking.
“Great!”
The guards could not help but cheer as their morale rose.
The captain of the squadron came from the flying training base outside of Shanhai City, and he was from the first batch of pilots of the Great Xia. Although they were facing problems, he did not panic, and he used the sea conch to give orders.
“Use three planes to lead that golden leopard away.”
“Yes!”
The captain did not need to give anymore instructions. Three flying devices broke away from the main group, forming a triangle formation as they flew toward the beast. They were ready to take revenge for their brothers.
The golden leopard was a god beast and that white light was its killing technique, so the move could not be used in consecutively times. The Flying Squad was already prepared, so they would not be hit so easily.
However, a god beast was still a god beast. As they tried to approach it, another flying device was hit.
“Blow this animal to bits!”
The remaining two pilots were furious, and they threw down bomb after bomb. One of them exploded on the body of the golden leopard, which resulted in blood and flesh flying.
The golden leopard was still a god beast; its skin was really thick. A bomb that could send one to hell would only cause superficial wounds to it.
One of the young pilots wanted to throw more bombs when he saw the golden leopard still standing strong. Luckily, his teammate was calmer, “Complete the mission!”
“Yes!” The young pilot came to his senses. The most important thing right now was to lead it away, not making it angry.
The two flying device moved like a spiral toward the depths of the palace. While they flew, they bombed to destroy the palace.
When the golden leopard saw this, it actually chased them; it fired two light bullets but both missed.
The golden leopard was smart and sentient. It was furious about being unable to handle these two ‘birds.’ It took in a deep breath and spat out a light bullet that was two times bigger than the previous ones.
Weirdly, this one was really quick, and it also homed in and followed the two flying device. It turned in the air like it was being controlled by the golden leopard.
This time, it was hard for the flying devices to escape.
“Hong!” The young pilot and his flying device exploded in mid-air while the ripples from the explosion knocked the other flying device, and it nearly crashed too.
The key was that the wing of the flying device was damaged, so it could not fly too far.
Two birds with one stone!
The golden leopard was really smart and also hateful. It was the young pilot that dropped the bomb on its back. The leopard remembered this, so it marked him as a target for revenge.
