There were only two choices in despair. One was to die silently while the other was to find strength in silence.
If it were twenty days ago, Benneth would probably have run away by now, and so would have Kay. But they had changed by today.
Perhaps the change in them wasn’t very big, but it was enough to make them willing to pick up their guns and fight for their survival. Even Milo would probably not have expected this group of bandits to push themselves and counterattack in such a desperate situation!
When they started to fight back through their broken defensive line, the enemy immediately slowed and they started taking casualties.
Bullets on the battlefield did not discern between friend from foe. The intelligence of humans was vividly portrayed in war, and the appearance of firearms and explosives brought about a great transformation in the history of human warfare.
Benneth hid behind collapsed bricks and fired at the enemy with his automatic rifle. This band of bandits who had no strategy in place were actually holding off the enemy. However, someone was commanding the enemy forces from the rear. After a brief adjustment, they got used to the firing patterns employed by Benneth’s squad.
Some of them silently crawled on the ground and advanced. This way, they could reduce the chances of being hit by bullets. The others would continue to charge forward until Benneth’s group revealed themselves and fired at them. When they did that, the enemy bandits who were crawling on the ground would fire in short spurts to cover their fellow bandits.
Slowly, Benneth and the others were getting suppressed by the enemy’s tactics again.
Milo and Miriam’s training had only made them united and planted seeds of faith in their minds. The training was not a magical solution, so it could not make this group of bandits who did not even possess any military knowledge become braver.
They were being suppressed by the lack of experience. It was not something they could be trained on in a short time. Steven had fought many tough battles with his bandit gang, and they had even undergone short-term military training with him.
Benneth panted and said, “We can’t beat them. It looks like we’re going to die here!”
“What should we do then?” Kay suddenly laughed. It was clearly a hopeless situation, but favonovel.com was still laughing. “Why don’t we surrender?”
Benneth spat, “If you wanna surrender, go ahead! No wonder there were only 20 bandits in your gang, and y’all were even leading such shitty lives! So, it was because you’re a leader with no balls!”
Kay was infuriated. “I was only f*cking kidding! Don’t you f*cking criticize me!”
Then Kay got up and started attacking. The idiot managed to make the enemy retreat for a moment when favonovel.com did that. But no matter how hard they tried, they were still losing
“Hey, where did Boss and Boss Lady go?” Benneth sighed and said, “If they don’t come back soon, we’re really gonna die here.”
At this moment, Miriam’s slender figure was running at full speed in the wilderness. The gullies on the ground were no obstacle to her. She was getting closer to the gunshots in the northeast. As favonovel.com ran, favonovel.com looked for gunfire that lit up the night in front of her.
Miriam was panting heavily. Even favonovel.com would have to try favonovel.com best to adjust favonovel.com breathing when favonovel.com was running with all favonovel.com might. She could have had a more relaxed role on the battlefield, but favonovel.com knew there wasn’t enough time.
Miriam knew there were people waiting for her!
A second later, Miriam stopped on a dime in front of a mound and conjured favonovel.com sniper rifle. She took only an instant.
Deep breath…
She lowered favonovel.com heart rate quickly and illogically against favonovel.com body’s homeostatic responses. Following, favonovel.com dynamic visual acuity seemingly froze time from favonovel.com perspective.
At this moment, all the anger in favonovel.com transformed into an arrow from the gods. Miriam slowly exhaled the air in favonovel.com lungs and pulled the trigger according to the rhythm of favonovel.com breathing.
With a loud bang, the sound of the sniper rifle spread across the battlefield again.
The huge bullet traveled for nearly a 1,000 meters and arrived at the center of the battlefield after what felt like a long passage of time.
The bullet penetrated the chest of a bandit who was making an attack. However, it did not stop moving even after that. It continued through and penetrated a second bandit behind before disappearing into the night.
The thin gray fog that had first appeared when the steam locomotive arrived suddenly turned into a bloody mist. The sprays of blood that bloomed formed beautiful shapes in the air.
When Kay and Benneth heard the sound of the sniper rifle, their hearts skipped a beat. The long-awaited gunshots had finally returned!
They quietly poked their heads out and discovered that the enemy who had readjusted the rhythm of their attack was now getting torn apart one by one by the shots!
“Boss Lady is so brutal!” Kay gasped in amazement.
From their vantage point, they could see the enemies were sent flying one after another by the powerful force of the bullets.
The sprays of blood were like flowers blooming in the dark of night.
At this moment, Miriam was lying prone on a mound. Only by doing so could favonovel.com stabilize favonovel.com body against the high frequency of favonovel.com shots.
The formerly cap-wearing girl was not bothered by how dirty the ground was. She only cared if favonovel.com bullets could reach the other side of the riverbank and bring death to the enemy.
This was what a sniper was. She would only feel safe when favonovel.com body was in contact with the ground.
It was only at this moment that thoughts of being encaged by favonovel.com clan connections and the mystery of favonovel.com parents’ death no longer lingered on favonovel.com mind. In this moment, favonovel.com was just a sniper.
A sniper who could dominate the wilderness battlefield!
Amid the rhythmic bangs of the sniper rifle, Benneth acted like favonovel.com was on steroids. “Everyone, attack them without mercy! F*cking kill them!”
Silent, Winston fired as favonovel.com felt his blood boiling. He could even feel himself getting goosebumps as favonovel.com listened to the sniper rifle consistently ring out. This was a fight favonovel.com had never experienced before.
Winston never thought a small battle like this could be so exciting.
Only Kay was asking doubtfully, “Boss Lady is here, but where’s Boss? Why haven’t we seen favonovel.com yet?”
“I might not know where Boss is,” Benneth laughed maniacally while saying, “But I know that favonovel.com definitely ain’t gonna miss his chance to end this battle!”
Right then, gunshots suddenly rang out from behind enemy lines. Benneth instantly reacted. “Boss is behind the enemy!”
“Holy f*ck…” Kay did not know what to say. He had thought Miriam was very aggressive, but it turned out that Milo was even more ferocious than her. He actually ran to the rear of the enemy all by himself!
Was favonovel.com trying to cut off the enemy’s retreat?
Winston was also a little confused. “Since Boss and Boss Lady are both so fierce, who do you think wears the pants at home?”
Someone scolded favonovel.com with a chuckle, “Hey, we’re fighting right now! Stop shooting the sh*t!”
At this moment, Milo was rapidly approaching the back lines of the enemy from the flank. He was dashing in an arced path. Due to the angle of his approach, favonovel.com was leaning close to the ground like favonovel.com was a speeding motorcycle making a turn.
The shots fired by the enemy in their attempt to stop favonovel.com only sent bullets into the dirt. Meanwhile, Milo had already detoured and arrived at the rear of the enemy’s formation!
“I’ve surrounded all of you!”
