Chapter 51: Charge

Liwei had been waiting for the opportunity to arise.

When it came to doing things, one had to consider the objective facts. There were more than forty semi-mechanical infantrymen here, and even more to the east, a whole infantry platoon. This was not a situation that could be resolved by a few experts breaking out.

But now, with the appearance of the experts from the Clover Hunter's Guild, the situation had changed. Qianlong, with his shield, advanced step by step, while Benderui, a powerful ranged attacker, had already taken down nearly ten enemy infantrymen in a short amount of time.

Of course, they couldn't rely on Qianlong's shield forever. It was estimated that when the enemy's cannon behind the infantry line fired again, Qianlong's shield would be shattered. However, the Hunters had more than just these two.

Leaving aside the others for now, just Liwei alone, seizing the opportunity, jumped out and emptied a magazine, blowing up the heads of three mechanical infantrymen.

Liwei's rapid charge was much faster than Qianlong's advance under the energy shield. In the blink of an eye, he had charged out of Qianlong's protection.

"Hey! Kid! Be careful! You're too reckless!" Qianlong shouted. He didn't know Liwei, but he didn't want this brave young man to die from recklessness.

"Don't stop his charge, this is a good opportunity." Following Qianlong, Benderui also spoke up, but his meaning was completely opposite to Qianlong's.

Benderui admired Liwei for daring to charge out at this moment.

Originally, relying on him and Qianlong alone, they didn't have complete confidence in quickly eliminating these semi-mechanical beings. After all, there were quite a few of them, and behind them, there were more than sixty other enemies, who could come to support them at any time.

However, Liwei's charge directly brought a direct change to the current situation.

As long as this young man could truly charge into the enemy's formation and disrupt them, then Qianlong, who no longer needed to maintain his shield, could be freed up to use his psychic powers to destroy more enemies. And Benderui himself didn't have to worry about his arrows damaging Qianlong's shield, so he could shoot his arrows without worry.

This was an action that changed the course of the battle, provided that Liwei could really have the ability to charge into the enemy formation without the protection of a shield.

Benderui hoped he could do it. For this, he even put aside his pride and personally provided cover with his bow and arrows for this young junior.

Liwei didn't think about what the two experts behind him were thinking. After charging out of Qianlong's shield, he was faced with a dangerous situation ahead and couldn't afford to be distracted.

But he had no fear in his heart. Daring to charge out, he naturally had his own confidence!

At this moment, he was about thirty to forty meters away from the semi-mechanical infantrymen. This was already within his optimal range!

Before this, when Liwei was hiding in the building, he couldn't guarantee that his firearms would hit the mark every time. It wasn't that his marksmanship was lacking, but rather that the effective range of the SN97 police pistol in his hand was not enough, and the bullets would stray.

At a distance of thirty to forty meters, this problem was basically not a concern.

At this distance, without the Sharingan, Liwei could maintain a high level of accuracy when attacking moving targets, let alone now.

He didn't rush to open fire to eliminate the targets but instead focused on rushing forward. His gun was always pointed forward, and whenever he saw a semi-mechanical infantryman or any sign of them shooting at him, he would directly shoot, blowing up the enemy's head.

This would reduce the chances of being shot, but it was impossible to completely avoid danger.

After all, there were twenty or thirty semi-automatic rifles aimed at him in front of him, and he only had seven bullets in his magazine.

However, this didn't matter. He still had mage armor on his body, which could withstand about ten bullets in terms of its protective ability.

Even if the mage armor shattered, he wouldn't necessarily die under the random gunfire. Now, he had truly broken through the limit level. Although the K5 semi-automatic rifle was very powerful, it wouldn't knock him down with just two or three shots. If things got really bad, he could summon the Claw of the Abyss, a demon claw the size of a cow's head, to use as a small shield.

In short, he had already thought of many ways to deal with the situation before he charged out. As long as he killed his way into the enemy formation, Liwei didn't believe that these semi-mechanical beings, who were slightly stronger than ordinary humans on average, could do anything to him.

According to Cai Yutong, the modification of these semi-mechanical beings mainly greatly enhanced their endurance, allowing them to work continuously. There wasn't as much enhancement in terms of strength and physical toughness.

He succeeded!

The process of this charge was much easier than he had imagined.

Just as he rushed out of Qianlong's shield, Liwei quickly emptied his pistol's magazine, each shot precise, trading several lives for it but still unable to stop the K5 rifles firing at him. He was prepared to resist with the Claw of the Abyss or mage armor, but in an instant, a wave of supporting firepower poured in from behind him.

Three Red Lotus arrows, descending from the sky and exploding in mid-air, killed several semi-mechanical infantrymen on the spot, with another dozen or so being thrown off balance. At the same time, several consecutive pure energy shots from Cai Yutong's hands in the building's window behind him also smashed into the infantry line.

By the time Liwei charged into the ranks, his mage armor had not even shattered yet.

Next, it was his moment to shine!

Seizing the opportunity, he killed the capable semi-mechanical beings. With a swift flash of his blade, he instantly took a life, while the Claw of the Abyss crushed another head. Then, the fierce claws swirled around him, attacking wildly, while he himself moved like a ghost, continuously slashing at the enemies with his short sword.

At such a close distance, and with Liwei moving so quickly, the semi-mechanical beings couldn't even aim, and shooting randomly might hit their own comrades.

On the other side, when Liwei charged in, Benderui's arrows were completely unleashed. Each arrow followed Liwei, constantly shooting at the enemies he couldn't take care of, and the efficient slaughter began.

With Qianlong freed up, there was no need for him to maintain the shield in front of him. Coincidentally, he saw that the cannon in the distance seemed to be preparing to fire again. He directly used his psychic power to stop the cannonball in the barrel at the limit distance, detonating it in advance before it was fired, destroying the cannon.

In an instant, the more than forty semi-mechanical infantrymen and an AT9 cannon blocking the road to the east were about to face total annihilation.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Cai Yutong shout, "Watch out behind you!"
