“Currently, most of the top rebels and Evil God Sect members have been suppressed, and all cities are under Federation control.”
“However, many rebels did not give up after they dispersed, and with the support of the Evil God Sect, they started to launch guerrilla attacks on the Federation.”
“Because we are short of manpower and some cultivators and Evil God Sect cultists have infiltrated the rebels, our military’s patrol teams have suffered some casualties recently.”
On the way to join their squad, Second Lieutenant Jason Raven briefed Jack Clark and the others on the current situation.
Soon, they arrived at their ‘squad.’
Seeing the ten armored cars equipped with machine guns and machine gun cannons and two sci-fi-like main battle tank squads before them, Jack Clark and the other three were shocked.
They originally thought it would be a patrol team of a dozen or so people, but they didn’t expect such fierce equipment.
Jason Raven complained, “For us, facing the rebels head-on would be a piece of cake. The real trouble comes from those cultivators hiding in the dark.”
“They hide among ordinary people, and it’s difficult to predict their sudden attacks. If they miss, they take advantage of the complex terrain to escape, and their speed is so fast that we can’t catch up.”
“There are also those who hide in civilian houses far away and use rockets and sniper rifles to attack us. Although these ordinary weapons don’t have much power, they are very troublesome.”
“We can’t use heavy artillery since we need to protect ordinary people, and we can’t chase them on foot either. That’s why those guys have become increasingly arrogant in the past few days.”
Jack Clark nodded, “Second Lieutenant Raven, we understand your concern. We’ll deal with those cultivators hidden in the crowd, and you’ll deal with the rebels.”
In his perception, the soldiers here emitted a First Layer Heaven Qi Blood aura, which was stable and heavy.
This was a special Federation Cultivation Method that mainly focused on strengthening the body and assisting with various powerful weapons. Once they formed a battle formation as a group, their firepower would be terrifying.
But their individual combat abilities were weak, at least before breaking through the Fourth Layer Heaven.
Unlike Martial Height School, which aimed to cultivate geniuses, the military emphasized teamwork, and most people who joined the military had average talent.
After all, the geniuses had already been discovered during high school. They joined the military after high school graduation because their talent was insufficient, but they were unwilling to live an ordinary life.
Jason Zhang told Jack Clark about these general facts when he asked earlier, but he didn’t go into detail on specific information.
Jason Raven politely said, “We’ll need your help when the time comes.”
Justin Welan smirked, “Actually, 1 prefer charging under a hail of bullets and smashing those guys to pieces with my shield.”
…Hearing his words, Jack Clark and Zac Lyons, the White Veil, ignored him.
No wonder, he was wearing bulletproof black armor and carrying a heavy alloy shield that was more than ten centimeters thick. Under those circumstances, even heavy gunfire could not harm him.
But could the others withstand that?
At this time, Zac Lyons, who had previously talked to Jack and ranked 50th in the Martial Arts Arena, asked doubtfully, “Second Lieutenant Raven, aren’t there any strong cultivators in the military?”
“There are, but they form separate special squads and are not located here.”
After the briefing, the convoy set off. Two main battle tanks were positioned at the front and rear, sandwiching ten armored cars in the middle, while the four of them took positions in the off-road convertible vehicles in front and back.
Soon, the armored convoy left the bustling military-controlled area and entered the ordinary urban area filled with low-rise flat houses.
A sense of desolation, bleakness, and gloom suddenly engulfed them.
After more than three months of chaos, the city’s economy had deteriorated. Only a few scattered vendors could be seen along the roadside, selling various daily necessities.
Although there were some people on the streets, most of them hurried along with sallow faces, showing signs of malnutrition.
As the Federation military’s armored convoy passed by, the people’s faces showed awe, while some children curiously looked at the soldiers in the vehicles.
Especially the four men in black armor, who were either sitting or standing on the front and back off-road convertible vehicles, their tall and sturdy figures attracted much attention.
This was the purpose of the patrol team: deterrence.
When ordinary people saw the Federation’s military patrolling daily and the rebels hiding in the dark like rats, the space for the rebels to survive among the public would shrink.Moreover, the Federation military is only responsible for suppressing the chaos, and a new system composed of local residents is being established.
When the new official system is established later, and various legal systems are in favor of ordinary people, the rebels will have nowhere to hide because the entire Koroya will be their enemy.
The rebels also understand this, so they have been constantly creating chaos with the Evil God Sect Cultists recently, trying to deter and delay.
Soon, the convoy entered a narrow street, with pedestrians and low bungalows on both sides, and Jack Clark, who was standing on the off-road vehicle, changed his expression slightly.
“Be careful!” In a low shout, feeling the impending danger, Jack Clark’s silhouette flashed as he jumped off the off-road vehicle.
Just as he shouted, a rocket roared from more than thirty meters away, completely disregarding the life and death of the ordinary people around him.
But at this moment, a small device on the first main battle tank emitted a red beam, and the beam flashed past the rocket, causing it to explode in mid-air.
Bang!
The hot fireball burst open, and the powerful explosive shockwave mixed with metal fragments radiated in all directions, sweeping through a range of tens of meters. Two ordinary people on the roadside screamed in pain when caught in the explosion.
Jack Clark’s gaze swept over the small device on the tank, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes before he shouted, “Leave the guy thirty-five meters away to me.”
Having said that, the muscles in his legs swelled slightly, and with a Power Explosion, Jack Clark burst out with terrifying speed, turning into a black shadow and instantly crossing more than thirty meters.
With a thud, Jack Clark stepped on a red brick and leaped up to the two-story rooftop.
There, a dark-skinned middle-aged man frantically dropped the rocket launcher and grabbed the automatic rifle hanging on his chest, wanting to shoot at Jack Clark.
But…
Puff! The sharp Sword Skill tore through the air, and with a flash of white light, the man was instantly killed by Jack Clark.
Boom!
At this moment, the wall of the staircase room on Jack Clark’s side collapsed, and a burly figure rushed towards Jack Clark from the dust, his whole body exuding a strong murderous aura.
It was clear that this was a premeditated ambush.
The convoy behind was also attacked again, and several fierce shadows rose from the panicked crowd and pounced on the armored vehicles, trying to attack the soldiers inside.
Justin Welan and the other three jumped off the vehicle and blocked them with their Blood Qi bursting.
At the same time, many armed rebels appeared on the surrounding bungalows, and the sound of gunfire erupted, creating chaos all around.
Countless gravel splashed and fell on the battle armor, making a crackling sound. Amidst the smoke and dust, a spark erupted as Jack Clark blocked an attack with both hands holding the sword.
Immediately afterwards, he counterattacked with a wind-whistling slash.
Clang clang clang!!
Knife lights tore through the air amidst the smoke and dust, creating a piercing whistling sound. The friction between the blade and the air produced a red light that caused dazzling sparks to burst open continuously.
Boom! Suddenly, the burly figure rolled out from the dust and landed at the edge of the rooftop two feet away.
“How is it possible? Wasn’t he just a Second Layer Heaven freshman?!” The burly man with a large machete in hand looked shocked and doubtful in front of him.
Jack Clark stood there with a cold expression in his eyes, holding the sword and said, “Another Second Layer Heaven Peak cultivator, but you’re not a cultist of the Evil God Sect.”
Unlike the cultist he had killed yesterday, this man had demonstrated an extremely solid cultivation foundation during the battle just now.
His physique and True Strength had reached the Second Heaven Peak, and every move he made unleashed a terrifying power of nearly 4,000 kg. The degree of True Strength condensation was not less than Jack Clark’s.
On top of that, his Sword Skill, as proficient as instinct, had withstood more than ten moves from Jack Clark in an instant without being at a disadvantage.
If it had been Justin Welan or Zac Lyons, that strike might have actually caught them off guard and inflicted heavy injuries if not death.
Unfortunately, he met Jack Clark, whose intuition had sensed the hidden murderous intent from the side the moment he jumped onto the rooftop.
At this moment, Jack Clark’s eyes slowly turned red, filled with an intense desire for slaughter. Regardless of whether he was an Evil God Sect Cultist or not, he would kill first and ask questions later..
