Chapter 414 Turn the Table
Silverlake Base and Emberwick Base both believed that victory was within their grasp.
But no one expected such a violent explosion to suddenly occur among their soldiers!
At this moment, all the soldiers were gathered densely around the shelter.
Snowfall Cult followers detonated their explosives, instantly killing a large number of people!
Although the explosives were quite ordinary, as long as there was enough of it, it could still kill.
Flames shot into the sky, and the violent explosion covered all areas around the shelter!
Megan and Leonard's eyes were about to pop out.
"What is going on? Where did the explosion come from?"
When they attacked, they had already cleared the mines to prevent Steven from planting them.
So where did these explosives come from?
A nervous soldier reported, "It's those lunatics from Snowfall Cult! They all have explosives on them and came to die with us!"
"What??" Megan and Leonard were shocked. "Those damn bastards, they dared to ambush us!"
By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late!
Neil ordered the fearless Snowfall Cult fanatics to charge straight at the Silverlake and Emberwick troops.
Silverlake and Emberwick were getting slaughtered—over 70% of their forces wiped out, leaving fewer than two hundred soldiers combined.
Meanwhile, the Snowfall Cult had kept most of their fighters intact.
Now, they hit hard from behind, catching Silverlake and Emberwick completely off guard!
Although their weapons were junk, and they barely had any armor, every single one of them was screaming fanatical chants, eyes blazing with madness.
Nothing's scarier than an enemy who doesn't care if they die.
A hint of madness appeared in Neil's cold eyes.
He raised his hands, controlling two massive war machines, and hurled them from the sky towards Megan and Leonard's vehicles!
"Bastard, you tricked us!" Leonard and Megan saw Neil from afar, their eyes filled with a murderous glare.
If looks could kill, Neil would have died a thousand times!
Leonard controlled a large amount of ice and snow to block the war machines.
Meanwhile, the hot-tempered Megan burst through the roof of the vehicle with a single punch, sending the war machine flying!
Neil hovered in mid-air, a twisted, icy grin plastered across his face. "Hahahahaha! Megan, Leonard, you two sons of bitches, your time's up!"
Snowfall Cult had endured for too long.
In every conflict, they'd paid a steep price, bending over backward to the big bases just to stay alive.
But now, with Neil finally getting the upper hand, he couldn't stop laughing—letting out all that pent-up rage and frustration!
"All of you, die! From now on, Starlight City will no longer be a place where you can flaunt your power!"
Neil and his followers launched a frenzied attack!
Snowfall Cult's actions also left the soldiers attacking the shelter trapped between two fronts.
Steven raised the corners of his mouth. "We can hunt them down now!"
With Snowfall Cult in front and them behind, the people of Silverlake Base and Emberwick Base had no way to escape.
The shelter's doors opened, and Lily and the others, having eaten the Supernatural ability food prepared by Nora, had recovered.
They rushed out and began slaughtering the soldiers and Psychics of the two bases from behind!
The situation on the battlefield changed so quickly that no one could have predicted this turn of events.
Even Sebastian, who was posturing in the back mountain, was dumbfounded.
"Why did Snowfall Cult suddenly betray?" He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly felt a chill down his spine!
He finally understood that Snowfall Cult and Steven had long reached an agreement.
If today, he had also been on the side attacking Steven, he would be facing the same situation as Emberwick Base and Silverlake Base.
Although he might not necessarily lose, there would definitely be heavy casualties!
Sebastian patted his chest, extremely grateful for his earlier decision. "Now I don't have to do anything and I've already profited!
"
Suddenly, he thought of something, and the smile on his face widened. "If they fight like this, won't us become the strongest in Starlight City? Hahaha!"
The situation on the battlefield had completely reversed.
Snowfall Cult's sudden attack made it impossible for the already heavily damaged Silverlake Base and Emberwick Base coalition to withstand.
Moreover, Steven's team had not suffered any casualties at all.
Steven opened the door and released a pack of beasts, initiating another round of brutal slaughter!
Henry, carrying two Gatling guns and draped in bullet belts, roared as he began to fire!
Lily, like a tiger among sheep, took a life with each strike!
Steven's gun was even more ruthless, killing at a rate of one person every two seconds.
In the chaos, he even started targeting the Psychics of Silverlake Base and Emberwick Base!
Within a range of 1000 feet, the sniping ability of Martial Prowess was terrifyingly effective!
Moreover, in this chaotic battle, no one was fully focused on defending against his abilities, making it the perfect opportunity for him to ambush!
A Psychic was contemplating whether to break through or turn to deal with Lily and the others behind him.
Suddenly, he felt a massive force pulling around his neck.
Then, his neck was twisted off, and his head flew from his body.
Even in death, he didn't know how he had died.
Megan and Leonard were now in a panic.
They hurriedly tried to contact Sebastian, hoping he would bring his troops to their rescue.
But this time, they couldn't reach anyone from his side.
"That damn bastard, he... he must have betrayed us too!" Leonard felt a chill down his spine.
The previous attack from the back mountain was so overwhelming that he thought Sebastian had already launched an assault.
But until they surrounded the shelter, they hadn't seen a single member of Frostwood Base.
Even if Leonard were a fool, he would understand what this meant.
"Fall back, now! They teamed up behind our backs! If we don't bail, we're dead!" Leonard didn't waste a second, barking orders for his remaining troops to retreat.
Megan was both shocked and furious, unable to comprehend why Snowfall Cult and Frostwood Base would betray them!
But now, anger was useless.
Continuing to fight might give them a slim chance of victory, but the likelihood of total annihilation was much higher!
As the leader, she couldn't continue the battle!
"Full retreat!"
Megan took a large swig of pure alcohol and spat out a blazing fire dragon towards the Snowfall Cult members behind her, instantly burning dozens of them to ashes!
Smoke rose from her body, and she seemed to be on fire, with red, lava-like patterns flowing on her skin.
Megan leaped high and forcefully charged into the crowd of Snowfall Cult members!
Seeing this, Neil didn't dare to confront her.
The top combatants of the four major bases had extraordinary strength, and ordinary soldiers or Psychics couldn't stop them.
He only aimed to weaken the forces of Silverlake Base and Emberwick Base as much as possible, without hoping to annihilate them in this battle.
Otherwise, if it came to a desperate fight, his followers would also be wiped out!
Silverlake Base and Emberwick Base joined forces and carved a bloody path through the crowd.
Alexander, driving a construction vehicle, had given up on cutting and was trying to escape.
But Steven had long targeted him as a threat to the shelter's safety.
With a single bullet, he blew Alexander's head off, eliminating the threat to the shelter.
In the end, fewer than a hundred warriors from Silverlake Base and Emberwick Base escaped the encirclement.
They left behind countless corpses, war machines, and weapons, fleeing eastward in disarray.
Neither Steven nor the Snowfall Cult members pursued them.
Snowfall Cult lacked the capability to chase cars.
And Steven didn't want to provoke the enraged beasts, which could cause casualties among his own people.
Neil watched them retreat and raised his fist high: "Victory!!"
The followers behind him cheered excitedly, their faces filled with emotion, some even hugging each other in joy.
This was the first time Snowfall Cult had ever won a victory against a base organization!
Although they had lost over 500 people in this battle, it was still a significant victory for them.
After all, most of their casualties were ordinary followers, who could be replaced.
But the losses for Silverlake Base and Emberwick Base were elite soldiers, who couldn't be trained easily.
After this bloodbath, Silverlake and Emberwick were left crippled. Going forward, they'd have a hell of a time trying to pull together enough firepower to invade West Mountain or Eternal River District.
And harassing Snowfall Cult's turf? That was off the table for good.
