"Looking at it this way, there were only around a hundred people outside."
These warlord soldiers looked thoroughly bored, and their uniforms were in poor condition. Their actual combat strength was inevitably questionable.
After roughly pinpointing the location, Little Miss D2 led the troops to the jungle at the edge of town and crouched down. Then, putting on a show, she issued the attack order through the system.
"Target area. Prepare for artillery bombardment."
"Understood. Please wait thirty seconds for calibration. Bombardment will begin shortly."
A highlighted red bombardment zone appeared on everyone's map, complete with a countdown.
Everyone widened their eyes, eagerly anticipating what would happen next.
Thirty seconds later...
"Fire!"
Twenty-four soldiers pulled their cords at the same time. Thunderous blasts accompanied clouds of smoke as shells were hurled outward.
Before long, the shells had crossed four kilometers and landed on the target grounds.
Boom! Boom, boom, boom!
Sudden explosions erupted across the distant land.
Dust burst from the ground and thick smoke scattered everywhere. For a moment, many warlord soldiers were completely stunned. Their flesh-and-blood bodies were torn apart by the terrifying shockwaves and shrapnel. Some screamed and hurriedly threw themselves behind nearby cover, shouting in disbelief, "What's going on? Why is there artillery fire?"
No matter what, the power of twenty-four artillery pieces was simply too great.
After all, they had mobilized so much artillery just to deal with eight hundred people.
After the first coordinated barrage, the artillery continued suppressing the battlefield at an average rate of two shells per second for two minutes. By then, ten weapon-equipped Drones had approached the factory area and began firing at the terrified enemies on the ground.
"Enemy attack! We're under attack!"
The warlord soldiers hurriedly took off their slung rifles, frantically disengaged the safeties, and chambered rounds.
