The battle between Dragon Country and the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City had escalated into a white-hot conflict from the very beginning. Unmanned combat aircraft in the sky engaged in aerial combat with the flying vehicles of the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City, while anti-aircraft guns on the ground relentlessly attacked them.
Meanwhile, the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City was subjected to fierce assaults from two flanking forces.
The spaceship carrying the City Lord of the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City, Bauer, was also hit by several artillery shells. However, the ship's armor far surpassed that of the surrounding aircraft, and despite being struck several times, it remained undamaged.
Nonetheless, these few hits did make Bauer, the City Lord, feel concerned.
"Increase altitude. We cannot allow the shells from below to hit us!"
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
The spaceship rapidly ascended, quickly reaching an altitude beyond the range of the anti-aircraft guns. However, once the spaceship reached this height, the morale of the remaining flying vehicles below was severely affected.
The anti-aircraft guns soon destroyed several more flying vehicles belonging to the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City.
However, the anti-aircraft guns could not reach the spaceship, which had ascended tens of thousands of meters into the sky.
Major General Hua Deyun was also at a loss, facing the spaceship that had outflown the range of their artillery.
"Is that spaceship heading into space? Do you have any way to shoot down a spaceship in space?"
"Major General, that spaceship is not going into space. It is only at an altitude of twenty thousand kilometers. To bring it down, we would need to use missiles."
Hua Deyun became troubled. "What is the probability of hitting that spaceship with a missile?"
After some operations, the technician displayed a figure of 1.6% on the screen.
Major General Hua Deyun looked at the data and asked, "I didn't expect the probability to be so low!"
The technician replied, "Major General Hua Deyun, this data is achieved only when one hundred missiles are launched together."
Major General Hua Deyun sighed, "Only one hit out of a hundred missiles? This data is simply outrageous!"
The technician continued to deliver the bad news, "Furthermore, it requires one hundred missiles to be launched simultaneously."
"We can transport a hundred missiles, but launching them simultaneously will be very difficult. After all, we haven't developed a hundred missile launch pads. It seems we can only let that spaceship dance in the sky for a while longer."
At this moment, within the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City, the casualties were heavy.
"They've been bombing for two hours, and the shelling hasn't stopped. How many shells do they have?"
"I never thought that in this era, we would be reduced to such a sorry state by these physical bombs."
"I've never been this disheveled, even in a major space battle."
"That's natural. In space, battles are fought with spaceships. Here, five-meter linear energy weapons are completely ineffective against enemies beyond visual range. Why haven't those flying vehicles hit them yet?"
*Boom*
An artillery shell landed, killing the Four-Handed Sinners who were having this conversation.
The attack continued. After four hours of continuous bombardment,
The Four-Handed Sinners on the defense line could no longer endure such intense firepower.
"I can't take it anymore. If I stay here, I'll die."
"I want to leave!"
The Four-Handed Sinners on the defense line desperately tried to escape. The City Guard of the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City opened fire, killing a few of them to stop the escape attempts.
The first attempt was successfully thwarted. The second attempt was also successful. But during the third attempt, a Four-Handed Sinner retaliated with an energy rifle, killing a City Guard. This ignited the entire defense line. The Four-Handed Sinners on the defense line immediately revolted and attacked the City Guards who were enforcing discipline behind them. The battle quickly devolved into a confrontation between the Four-Handed Sinners on the defense line and the City Guards.
The Four-Handed Sinners within the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City had committed grave sins. They were inherently brutal. City Lord Bauer had maintained control over them through brutal massacres. Now, facing the brink of death, they could no longer bear it. Staying here meant certain death. To survive, they naturally had to escape.
There were over six hundred thousand Four-Handed Sinners in the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City. For this battle, four hundred thousand Four-Handed Sinners were deployed on the defense line. The remaining two hundred thousand were logistics personnel, responsible for transporting weapons and ammunition.
However, they had never expected the bombardment to be so fierce.
It had continued for four consecutive hours.
After a fierce struggle, the City Guards suffered heavy casualties and could no longer maintain order.
During the internal conflict between the Four-Handed Sinners and the City Guards, many also perished. It could be said that more Four-Handed Sinners died during this rebellion. Dragon Country's bombardment had killed fifty thousand Four-Handed Sinners, while their internal fighting resulted in the deaths of two hundred and fifty thousand. This was partly because they were within each other's line of sight, and the greatest casualties were not caused by the City Guards but by their own selfish use of energy rifles, leading to friendly fire.
Following this internal conflict, the Four-Handed Sinners in the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City began to scatter and flee. Some Four-Handed Sinners fled into the city, while others escaped from areas not under artillery fire into the desert, disappearing into the garbage mountains.
As they fled, they took a large number of hover vehicles and hover combat vehicles with them, causing the defense line to collapse.
With the defense line in ruins, no effective attacks could be mounted. The number of laser and energy bomb attacks sharply decreased.
The commanders of the two flanking forces, both Major Generals, felt that the time was ripe.
"Attack!"
The two Dragon Country units on the flanks advanced directly towards the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City.
They soon reached the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City.
At this point, the Dragon Country's artillery had already caused the collapse of many sections of the defense line in the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City. Dragon Country first deployed a dense swarm of micro-drones to clear out any hidden Four-Handed Sinners before the main Dragon Country army entered the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City.
It took less than ten minutes for the two flanking units to enter the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City.
Because the drones had cleared the way beforehand, they did not encounter intense street fighting upon entry.
The two commanders, Major General Shan and Major General Pan, celebrated on the same channel.
"Major General Pan, I didn't expect you to reach here as well!"
"Major General Zhao, I entered here earlier than you."
"Then, Major General Pan, we will proceed according to the original plan, right?"
"Major General Zhao, you should resolve the ammunition depot in this Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City first!"
"No problem, we'll head over immediately. Major General Pan, you can watch a good show! We will take the energy cannons and laser guns from the ammunition depot back to Dragon Country!"
Major General Pan, unwilling to be outdone, replied, "Major General Zhao, rest assured, I have some good things here as well. These will also belong to Dragon Country."
The two units continued to advance within the Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City. Any Four-Handed Sinners who resisted fiercely were eliminated, while those who surrendered were captured.
The Four-Handed Sinners' Evil City was conquered by Dragon Country's forces.
