The Predator City "Hanged Man," with its red and green paint scheme, is equipped with two level 1 cannons, possesses five vehicle teams, and appears to have upgraded to level 1 city tracks and level 1 tires, making it the fastest.
The Predator City "Magician," painted red and white, boasts a staggering 20 ordinary cannons, along with three level 1 cannons, but lacks any vehicle teams, making it the slowest.
The Predator City "Chariot," with its silver paint, possesses extremely thick city armor all over, and its tracks and wheels seem to have been upgraded, making it exceptionally heavy and stable. This Predator City has average speed, no vehicle teams, and no cannons.
Surprisingly, this Predator City is even equipped with two offensive-type level 1 city components.
One is a massive level 1 siege hammer.
The other is a level 1 steam ballista mounted in the city's mid-section.
Furthermore, its city armor seems capable of retracting and closing.
Through his telescope, Li Ye observed the general situation of these three Predator Cities.
The Hanged Man seems to be an assault type, the Chariot a defensive type, and the Magician a heavy firepower support type.
He couldn't help but feel surprised that Mobile Cities actually had a division of labor, each fulfilling its own role.
This shattered Li Ye's previous understanding of Predator Cities.
He had always thought that these Predator Cities were crude, barbaric, and extremely violent. But in fact, they could also form alliances, exchange resources, and share intelligence.
They even consumed resources and purchased corresponding city components and weapons to transform themselves into the corresponding type, all to meet the needs of the team.
They had transformed from cruel and cunning hyenas into well-coordinated and cooperative packs of wolves.
However, Li Ye didn't have much time to marvel, because they were targeting him.
At this moment, the three Predator Cities began their respective actions.
The cannons on the Magician began to slowly adjust their positions, aiming at the Tomorrow's intended route.
The Hanged Man rapidly advanced from the flank, its vehicle teams moving at full speed.
The Chariot suddenly roared, this Mobile City directly crashing through the buildings along the way, rushing towards the Tomorrow along the shortest straight line!
In the process, it continued to accelerate, its speed even surpassing the Hanged Man!
"Such a strong advance!" Li Ye thought with alarm.
He understood everything almost instantly.
As the defensive position in the Predator Alliance, the Chariot didn't need vehicle teams or cannons; all it needed to do was strengthen its defense and power, breaking through the enemy's formation at the fastest speed during combat.
This defensive Predator City was itself a shell for breaking through fortifications!
From this, it seemed that it had collected resources and city components, prioritizing the upgrade of its power system!
Its engine must be very strong, possibly even level 2!
After a moment of contemplation, Li Ye quickly made a decision.
"Ning Wen, fire six smoke shells at the Magician, directly obscuring its vision!"
"Vehicle teams one and two, and the Storm IFV, are responsible for intercepting the enemy's advancing vehicle teams!"
"Tang Fang, prepare for Mobile Evasion!"
Accompanied by a series of cannon blasts, several smoke shells fell around the Magician with a screech, followed by a blanket of smoke spreading out, completely enveloping it and the surrounding area.
On the street, vehicle teams one and two, and the Storm IFV, had already begun to fiercely exchange fire with the enemy vehicle teams.
"Attention! The enemy Mobile City is only about 300 meters away from the Tomorrow, helmsman prepare for Mobile Evasion!" Lin Xia's urgent voice came from the intercom.
300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters...
The Chariot crashed through building after building with unstoppable force. This Predator City's armor was extremely thick, and the multiple violent collisions only left countless scratches on it.
At the moment when the Chariot was about to crash into them, in the cockpit, helmsman Tang Fang suddenly pulled the control stick and swung the steering wheel to the left.
The Tomorrow then executed a beautiful sharp left turn with its tracks, dodging the incoming Chariot, which crashed headfirst into a building, while leaving its back exposed to the Tomorrow.
"Nice!" Li Ye nodded, "Fire!"
In an instant, all the cannons and heavy machine guns on the Tomorrow opened fire simultaneously, the overwhelming barrage of firepower instantly engulfing the Chariot.
However, the Chariot's armor was extremely thick; this firepower, which could destroy a town in an instant, had little effect on it.
Machine gun bullets could not tear through its armor, only becoming embedded in it. The cannon shells were powerful, but they only slightly distorted its armor.
"This defense is too amazing!" Li Ye frowned. "In that case, Ning Wen! Fire!"
The next second, the Lava Cannon on the deck fired, the shell hitting the Chariot head-on.
In an instant, a violent explosion soared into the sky, the Chariot instantly enveloped in a blanket of fire. The huge explosive force caused several buildings near it to collapse and crumble, debris and rubble scattering with dust.
Seeing this scene, the Hanged Man on the flank quickly fired several smoke shells to cover the Chariot.
At the same time, it began to shower the Tomorrow with a barrage of fire.
Amidst the hail of bullets, gunner Ning Wen operated skillfully.
Under his movements, the Lava Cannon's breech hydraulic bolt hissed and vented under steam pressure, rotating to unlock, and the hot lava shell casing was mechanically ejected, landing on the deck with a wisp of smoke.
Then he took the shell handed over by a combatant, lunged forward, and slid the shell into the barrel. As the base of the shell accurately locked into the rifling grooves, he immediately flipped the lever, the cast iron bolt quickly engaged, instantly sparking a few sparks.
As the artillery pressure gauge needle instantly jumped to the combat threshold, he let out a loud roar.
"Report, the next Lava Cannon shell is ready! We can fire anytime!"
The young and reserved gunner was now incredibly excited, his face flushed with excessive excitement.
After all, he was originally just an obscure apprentice gunner, but now he had become a combat mainstay of a Mobile City, and was even simultaneously facing three Predator Cities.
Li Ye frowned slightly, looking at the spreading smoke in front of him.
The Chariot's form was already shrouded within, making it difficult to judge.
"Ning Wen, adjust the gun and prepare to engage the Hanged Man!"
At this moment, the Hanged Man was less than 1 kilometer away from the Tomorrow.
The power of the Lava Cannon had obviously shocked this Predator City; it didn't dare to get any closer, but instead used the cover of the city's buildings to maintain its distance and exchange fire with the Tomorrow.
Shells flew and bullets rained down. Wherever the two Mobile Cities passed, buildings collapsed, streets crumbled, and explosions filled the air with thick smoke.
On the streets, the two sides' convoys were engaged in fierce back-and-forth combat.
Advances and counter-advances, flanking maneuvers, close-quarters firefights...
The battle had reached a fever pitch.
