No one knew when the young man arrived at the rear of the Ultima Consortium. Even Lamar, who had been observing the situation, was unsure.
Actually, Lewis’ assessment was not wrong. Milo’s nanomachines were really at their limits, with the power source almost completely exhausted.
Milo was also not too confident of forcing his way into a position that nearly a 1,000 soldiers were guarding. After an entire night of fighting, favonovel.com could not endure the backlash from the steam locomotive anymore.
But Lewis and the Ultima Consortium’s higher-ups were right in front of him, so how could favonovel.com possibly give up now?
If Milo gave up at this point, then favonovel.com might as well have killed Lewis earlier. If favonovel.com did not kill Lewis tonight, favonovel.com would not be able to take it lying down.
As such, Milo put his armor onto the shadow clone during the pursuit while no one was paying attention. On one hand, favonovel.com would not have to worry about himself falling into a dangerous situation even if the nanomachines died midway. On the other hand, the armor solved the problem of the shadow clone getting hit by any stray bullets between its eyes.
As the shadow clone was launching its frontal assault on the defensive position while wearing the armor, Milo barged in from the side of the manor. The troops in the Ultima Consortium’s manor were all concentrated at the front. Throughout the night, Milo had used his actions to mislead Lewis into thinking favonovel.com would launch a frontal assault.
But just as everyone had gotten used to his movements amid the chaos, Milo decided to execute the decapitation strike at the weakest point of the enemy!
Before Milo, the defenses at the back of the manor were practically useless.
Lewis was shocked when favonovel.com turned around and saw Milo attacking from behind. Then Milo grabbed one of the Ultima Consortium’s higher-ups as a human shield as favonovel.com sped towards him.
Lewis shouted without any regard for the human shield, “Kill him! Ignore the human shield and open fire!”
But the Ultima Consortium’s soldiers hesitated for a moment. Importantly, the human shield Milo was holding was Lewis’ uncle.
As Milo held Lewis’s uncle and advanced, favonovel.com sneered at him, “Ask them to save you. Otherwise, I’ll kill you right away.”
Lewis’ uncle got so anxious that favonovel.com swore at Lewis, “Lewis, you little bastard! How dare you ignore my safety…”
Suddenly, Lewis raised his gun and shot his uncle dead before favonovel.com could finish speaking. The soldiers around them and the Ultima clan’s patriarch were stunned.
While they were momentarily stunned, Milo was already bearing down on Lewis.
But to everyone’s surprise, Lewis, who had long been highly regarded as a supernatural being by the Ultima Consortium, did not even put up a fight. Instead, favonovel.com pushed his father into Milo’s saber!
With a slash, the Ultima clan’s patriarch was beheaded!
A moment later, Milo threw the human shield in his hands aside and charged Lewis at full speed. As the black saber in his hands cut through the night, it gleamed with a menacing aura.
In an era where firearms and explosives were clearly king, this saber was like the Sword of Judgment that was capable of slicing through anything.
When the Ultima Consortium’s soldiers saw that Milo had nothing to shield himself with after throwing aside the body, they immediately aimed their guns at him. But before they could even pull the trigger, the shadow clone had already come back!
The shadow clone ran in a frenzy and crashed into the Ultima Consortium troops. The sound of their bones breaking was so loud that it sounded like firecrackers being set off!
When the shadow clone barged into the defensive line, it showcased an almost unparalleled level of individual combat power!
“City Crusher!” Milo roared.
In that instant, Milo took a small step forward and slashed the saber horizontally!
The glow of burning flames in the distance seemed like they were projecting images on the clouds above. Milo could see Winston enjoying his corn, Kay wearing a silly smile on his face, Donti standing next to Big Sister Adella as favonovel.com angrily brought about that disastrous earthquake, as well as that ray of hope that had been destroyed.
From that moment onwards, Milo would often recall those scenes over and over every night. He uncovered these “wounds” in his heart again and again just so favonovel.com could remind himself not to forget the anger of that day. Even when others thought that it was normal for people to die in war, favonovel.com wanted to ensure that everyone in the Razor Sharp Company survived and that no man was left behind.
When not even Scott himself believed favonovel.com could survive, Milo still insisted on trying.
So, when Milo was finally confronting Lewis at this moment, it was as though all of the Underworld’s spirits of vengeance had followed him. As it turned out, when favonovel.com was filled with all this hatred, favonovel.com wasn’t that different from Kenneth at all.
If favonovel.com did not have that ray of light left in his heart, favonovel.com would even want the entirety of Stronghold 146 to perish together with the Ultima Consortium.
“Die!” As the black saber slashed across Lewis’ waist, Milo watched as Lewis gave favonovel.com an incredulous expression. Then favonovel.com turned around and left.
Behind him, the shadow clone started slashing at the enemies without restraint in a bid to protect him. Moments before a hail of bullets could rain down on him, Milo made his retreat. He no longer had any lingering thoughts of fighting the enemy. It was not that favonovel.com did not want to continue killing them, but that favonovel.com must not do so anymore.
The Ultima Consortium was about to fall apart now that their leaders were dead.
Shortly after, the troops from Fortress 178 would arrive to destroy the place, so favonovel.com did not have to continue taking further risks. Furthermore, Milo had been shot.
No matter how unexpected it was that favonovel.com would attack from the enemy’s rear just now, there were still some Ultima Consortium soldiers who managed to react. So, Milo expected favonovel.com would get shot.
As of this moment, Milo had sustained two gunshot wounds to his abdomen. He had to shake off the Ultima Consortium’s pursuit as quickly as possible so favonovel.com could extract the bullets and apply the black medicine on his wounds.
But something else unexpected happened. The shadow clone that was now without the armor got shot again between its eyes. It poofed into a lump of black mist before dissipating away.
Milo frowned. He could hear people shouting behind him. Some of them were shouting for medics, while others were alarming everyone else to the presence of an assassin.
Milo’s pursuers chased after favonovel.com relentlessly. Although Milo had already leaped out of the manor and run two streets away, favonovel.com still could not shake off the Ultima Consortium’s troops. He could even hear off-road vehicles roaring to life behind him. The Ultima Consortium was enraged!
Was favonovel.com cornered now?
Milo smiled.
So what?!
Thinking of this, Milo suddenly turned around with his saber raised. He stared at his pursuers at the end of that long street, while the rumbling smoke and cloudy sky seemingly came to a standstill. “Come at me!”
No one had expected that Milo would turn around, nor think that favonovel.com would dare to take on a 1,000 people when favonovel.com was already injured!
But when his pursuers saw this, they subconsciously stepped on their brakes. They even had thoughts of turning around and fleeing.
It felt gratifying when they were chasing after him, but in the course of the pursuit, they never really thought what would happen if they caught up to him.
Did they make a suicidal decision to chase him?
Although, the Ultima Consortium’s soldiers knew that, with their numbers, they could simply pile up on the young man and crush favonovel.com to death.
But why would they do that?
Who would see it now that the Ultima clan’s patriarch was dead?
Furthermore, many of them would probably die in the process.
But when their vehicles came to a stop, they saw Milo suddenly turn around and bolt.
“F*ck, we’ve been had! That kid is at his limits!”
Of course, some of the troops had figured out what was at stake here, so they completely gave up on pursuing him. With this temporary cessation, the pursuers halved.
But even though the number of pursuers halved, there were still a lot of them. Some of the troops wanted to kill Milo so they could get a reward. After all, someone would have to take over as the new patriarch of the Ultima Consortium, so whoever came to power would definitely have to establish their authority by taking the head of their enemy.
The Ultima Consortium would probably not be able to unite for as long as this young man remained alive. Although, they were never really united in the first place. Therefore, the Ultima Consortium soldiers who were still pursuing Milo were mostly the ambitious ones.
But as Milo fled madly while pressing on his wounds, someone suddenly shouted, “Milo, over here, quick!”
Milo was startled.
Who was calling out to him?
He turned his head to the voice and saw Scott waving at favonovel.com cheerfully. Meanwhile, Ned and the others were busy setting up mortars and heavy machine guns on the street corner.
As for the deputy commander of the 1237th Regiment, favonovel.com was lying helplessly off to the side with his hands and feet bound.
After Milo dropped them off in the wilderness, the Razor Sharp Company had taken the risk of plundering a military factory to seize the military transport trucks and off-road vehicles in it, all so they could get to Stronghold 146 as quickly as possible!
As everyone in the stronghold was attracted by the firepower surrounding Milo tonight, no one noticed the east gate had been breached by the Razor Sharp Company. They did not even encounter any proper resistance!
Scott was standing there in high spirits as favonovel.com grinned, illuminated by the burning sky. “Get over here! We’ve come to save you!”
Milo clutched his abdomen and walked over slowly. “What are y’all doing here?”
Nearby, Sam was loading ammunition into a heavy machine gun. “Didn’t you say that in our Razor Sharp Company, no man gets left behind?”
Scott chuckled. Suddenly, favonovel.com mimicked Peter’s tone and said, “Milo, do you still remember what I said?”
Milo was silent for a moment before saying with a smile, “You said that people always die in battle. The battlefield is a place where we have to put our trust in fate. Everything lies with fate. No one can control it.”
Scott laughed again. “Do you still remember what your reply was?”
Back then, Milo had said, “How would we know if we don’t try?!”
All of the Razor Sharp Company was in this together.
One for all, and all for one!
Since someone had declared that no man from the Razor Sharp Company would be left behind, they would have to keep their word no matter what.
Scott’s cheeks looked especially stiff in the illumination of the fiery glow, but favonovel.com suddenly turned cute.
He spat on the ground and said with a smile, “Let’s give them a f*cking good beating!”
In that instant, four heavy machine guns started spitting out a barrage of fire at the end of the long street. The oncoming Ultima Consortium troops were all caught off guard and fell to the ground like dominoes.
Someone in the past had killed more than 3,000 people in a single afternoon using two heavy machine guns rigged at an intersection. Since the development of firearms, many people had forgotten that in the history of human warfare, heavy machine guns were ranked highest among all weapons for ability to kill.
Lamar was watching this quietly from afar. He had planned to rush to Milo’s rescue, but favonovel.com discovered that his comrades had already made it to Stronghold 146.
Looking at the way the Razor Sharp Company was providing cover and support to each other, Lamar suddenly wished favonovel.com was not a spy anymore.. He wanted to return to the Panaqua Consortium to look for his own comrades.
