Resurrection Empire-Chapter 985 - 378: All Mysterious and Cryptic (Part 2)

Ren Zhong said to Hu Yang, "Although the Hunting Team seems powerful, it's actually not to be feared. Even if you gather a bunch of cotton together, it's still just cotton. The Hunting Team has never truly united. Although they appear to compress your maneuver space by dividing forces into four routes, this actually scatters their troops and gives you an opportunity. So, within the next hour, once communication ends, you should launch the attack directly. Attack the nearest base, Base One, first."

Hu Yang: "Alright."

Five minutes later, some changes occurred within the Hunting Team.

Two hundred elite members were allocated from each of the four Hunting Team bases, gathering towards the center of the field.

Tang Xiangyun issued a death order to the Hunting Team, demanding no more delays and insisting on finishing the job in one decisive move.

An unexpected event transpired: just before the four units could converge, Hu Yang's army, which either stuck in defense or dispersed action, boldly charged out and launched a proactive attack on the two hundred elite members emerging from Base One.

In close combat, the brave are the victorious ones when narrow paths meet.

The five hundred-plus Hu Yang army penetrated the opponent's formation within just two minutes and swept across the battlefield like a plow.

The war started suddenly and ended even faster.

The elite leader of the Hunting Team was executed, and more than half of them perished, with only a dozen or so fleeing frantically in all directions.

Hu Yang's side only suffered less than twenty casualties, achieving great victory.

Many players and spectators stared slack-jawed. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

But this was not yet over; Hu Yang immediately led her people in a relentless charge toward Base One and, before the other three elite Hunting Teams could react, broke through the temporarily built walls and breached the interior within just five minutes.

Hu Yang did not annihilate the guards inside the walls but allowed the scattered fish hiding within the city to flee through the other three city gates.

Moreover, some were first captured and then released by her, letting them escape.

Then, Hu Yang pretended to hold the fort defensively, stood on the city head, and faced off from a distance with the late-arriving elite troops from three directions and the remaining stragglers from the earlier route, along with nearly twelve hundred cannon fodder, altogether totaling close to fifteen hundred enemy soldiers.

Meanwhile, the scattered fish hunters who had fled from Base One were circling around, trying to reunite with the main force.

The first stray fish dashed into the opposing main force, and Hu Yang moved her finger, detonating the remote control bomb tied with a shackle on that stray fish's back.

This person indeed brought it upon himself.

Previously, when he was a solo contestant, he ruthlessly slaughtered several other weaker contestants on the road, and coincidentally, someone under Hu Yang witnessed his misdeeds, recognized him at this moment, and reported it to Hu Yang.

Hu Yang then decided to equip this captive with some stuff and deliberately let him go.

The high explosive bomb on this person explosively detonated, injuring or killing more than ten people nearby.

Afterward, the Hunters' main force no longer dared accept any incoming stragglers.

If anyone dared to approach, regardless of whether they're "their own," regardless of how they explained, was shot preemptively.

After dozens were shot down, the scattered fish hunters who handed over their equipment to "the superior," hoping for protection, now having lost the base and coveting integration into the main force, suddenly ran out of options.

They dared not approach the main force again, nor dared to truly go their separate ways. After all, their valuable equipment had already been compulsorily handed over, and now if they were left alone, they would only become lambs to the slaughter.

More than two hundred people stood on the open field, unable to advance, retreat, disperse, or gather.

They were confused, panicked, and desperate.

At this point, Hu Yang stood atop the wall and spoke through a loudspeaker, "Now do you see? Can these people really be relied upon? Does the promise of the so-called Level Eight Citizen mean anything? If you now turn from darkness to light, I will give you a chance."

This group hesitated momentarily, then began to walk towards Base One.

They decided to surrender.

The commander of the elite Hunting Team's main force on the other side saw this, how could he allow such a situation to happen, immediately split off a team of three hundred elite rushing forward.

They weren't there to siege, but to intercept the group of "traitors," to prevent the enemy from further growing in strength.

But the next second, these three hundred people suffered a disaster.

It turns out that at some unknown point, Hu Yang had pre-arranged the Heavy Artillery Camp to set up an ambush on both hillsides of this area.

When the opponent's three hundred elite fully entered the range, two Heavy Artillery Camps made up of sixty people each opened fire with thunderous roars, and within a mere thirty seconds fired all their ammunition, then self-destructed the heavy artillery and swiftly made their escape.

Ultimately, among the three hundred elite of the Hunting Team, fewer than fifty managed to escape back, suffering great losses.

Tang Xiangyun's player representative watched helplessly as those over two hundred "traitors" gratefully entered the city and could only temporarily retreat his forces, deciding to merge the remaining three bases back into one.

Now he was thoroughly insecure.

However, an unexpected result occurred: the leaders of the other two bases did not agree to his merger request and each took their trusted elite back.

Just as Ren Zhong predicted, they had many people but were of no use.

When they had the advantage, they appeared united, but once they fell behind in the situation, internal cracks inevitably surfaced.

Throughout observing these changes, Zhou Ya turned to Ren Zhong and asked, "Did you already know this would happen?"

Ren Zhong nodded with a smile, "Of course. Their hearts were never aligned, like a hastily built house of blocks, a gentle push and it scatters. Once the hearts scatter, it's hard to lead the troops."

Zhou Ya: "But the people on the 38th won't scatter."

Ren Zhong responded with a hmm, "That's why I insisted Hu Yang must act quickly. If this drags on, the ultimate winners will surely be the Self-help Alliance. Hu Yang and the others will either die or be controlled, but even after being controlled, they will still die."

Zhou Ya: "Is this person so fearsome? Why don't I feel that? Even with your help, Hu Yang couldn't win?"

Ren Chongchong nodded heavily, "Yes, in a direct confrontation, they certainly can't win. I'm betting on another matter."

Zhou Ya: "What matter?"

"You'll know then."

Zhou Ya pouted, inwardly griping, so secretive, making a mystery out of it.
