As it turned out, Wei Jiandong did know a thing or two.
At the tip of the enemy's U-shaped formation, a group of Ghost Tamers from the Red Sun Federation was stationed in an Arena Zone.
After taking it, they had allies on both flanks and behind them. The only thing they needed to watch was the Light Gate to the north.
Beyond the wall lay their enemy: the guns of the Final Blade Federation.
As soldiers on a battlefield, none of them wanted to stick their heads out and get killed without orders.
There were a little over three hundred of them stationed there.

A drop of something black landed on it. The Ghost Tamer frowned deeply.
"Which damned bastard did that?" he muttered.

In an instant, they engulfed the Red Sun Federation
