Chapter 263: Volume 4, Chapter 36 I Surrender_2

”Execute it.” James waved his hand, agreeing to Bonnie’s plan.

”Your Majesty, look!” Philip suddenly noticed two figures standing on the roof, one of which might make James stay here a little longer.

James raised his head, and when his eyes met Susan’s, he was stunned.

Philip mockingly watched this ruthless Emperor disowning his own kin. He wondered if this daughter, whom he loved the most, could slow his steps.

James clearly did not expect his daughter to appear here at this moment!

The sound of gunfire was getting closer.

James snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and said, ”Go!”

The remaining Army and guards had already gathered by James’ side. With Bonnie’s order, the Mythical Mecha led the way, and the infantry tightly protected James as they charged forward.

Watching James’ departing figure, Ann Lei gently held Susan’s trembling shoulders, gazing in the direction of the prison cells, thinking dazedly, ”Does he know I’m here?”

**********************************************************

Just as Bonnie led James to break out north, Tian Xingjian decided to launch a southward assault from the laundry house.

At this point, there was no need to hide the strength of the Freedom Front anymore; the enemy had already broken through the defenses. What was needed now was speed! They had to find James and rescue Ann Lei before the Investigation Bureau did.

So, Fatty, piloting the [Logic], led a platoon of mechas into the attack first. Following them were hundreds of Freedom Fighters disguised as guards, ready for the assault.

The main forces of the Freedom Front, following Fatty’s plan, broke through from the center west, using superior strength to thoroughly smash the enemy’s defenses, surround the fighting arena, and within ten minutes, launch a wipeout battle to clear all enemies around the arena! At this time, the Investigation Bureau and the Mythical Army’s remaining defensive forces could no longer match the Freedom Front!

And indeed, this was the case. Investigation Bureau soldiers, receiving attacks from both front and back, had fallen into individual combat situations. When thousands of soldiers in green uniforms suddenly appeared from the direction of the cells, led by over a hundred mechas, they launched a rapid assault. The concentrated firepower caused the Investigation Bureau soldiers caught in the middle to utterly collapse.

The defensive soldiers who had been engaging the Investigation Bureau were even more unfortunate. Just as they cheered, their cries were cut off by the charging mechas! Several Mythical Army soldiers recognized their old friends before they died, never understanding why the Freedom Front would appear here at this moment!

Unlike the main force’s swift assault, Fatty had just prepared to step out of the large laundry room but retracted his foot.

In front of him, two forces were already entangled, locked in a life-and-death struggle.

Bruce finally caught up with James at the last moment.

The fighting arena was completely captured! Fatty held back; he knew that rushing out now would only make Bruce fight like a cornered beast and would not ensure Ann Lei’s safety! After all, these two forces were positioned between him and the fighting arena!

Things had reached this point, and the father and son were already in a life-or-death situation. Bruce would never let James slip under his nose so easily.

Now, around him, he had only his last remaining forces.

Hundreds of mercenaries, a company of Investigation Bureau soldiers, and twenty-five Imperial Army [Brawlers] standard mechas. These mechas were the medium [Three-headed Dog] single-soldier version, with strong long-range attack power.

Though few in number, they were enough!

Opposite James, there were only four [Vajra] and one [Mika], plus less than three hundred infantrymen.

Both sides had exerted their last bit of strength. Under Bonnie’s command, the four already scarred [Vajras] pounced forward fiercely; they needed to buy time for James, who was protected by [Mika], to escape.

However, despite the [Vajras’] strength, their control area was limited. Four [Vajras] could not simultaneously handle twenty-five mechas.

The battle reached a fever pitch from the start, with the infantry running desperately, dodging each other’s artillery fire while moving. Both sides centered on protecting James’ infantry group. One side attacked desperately, while the other defended to the death. Missiles and energy cannons continuously turned [Mika]’s energy shield into a deep red, and every time, a [Vajra] would inevitably cover [Mika] to let her recover.

Despite being constrained by the need to protect James, the Mythical Army, after all, was the Mythical Army. Coordinating in pairs of two [Vajras], they played an unimaginable role in such combat, blocking the rebels’ attacks by an almost five-to-one destruction ratio!

When the last [Vajra] fell, only six rebel mechas remained.

One of them was Bruce’s command mecha [Feather Fan].

Bonnie panted, watching helplessly as the six mechas approached step by step. Without James behind her, these six mechas would be no threat to Bonnie!

But now, she couldn’t leave. No matter what kind of person the Emperor behind her was, protecting him was her duty! It was also Reinhardt’s duty. Even for Reinhardt’s sake, Bonnie could not allow herself to just leave.
