Looking at the mixed team of a thousand people arriving with the Krieger motorcade, Leon had to sigh to Andre who approached him:

"Major, I didn't expect you to be bragging. You do have a little influence here."

"Haha! I was just hanging out with my old subordinates!" Andre smiled boldly.

While the two were talking, the Mammoth and several armored personnel carriers opened their hatches and unloaded the combat battalion of the Krieger 087th Regiment.

More than 500 Kriegs moved quickly, silently cooperating with a mixed team composed of veterans, sheriffs, and UNSC Army infantry to temporarily defend this area of ​​the resort hotel.

The current conventional equipment of the Kriegs is powered by a small cold fusion reactor, the helmet is a customized TPS-IV (four) light power armor, and a laser rifle also known as the "Hellfire".

This is a combat battalion equipped with heavy firepower. In addition to the Mammoth and two siege tanks, the combat battalion also has thirty heavily armed soldiers.

The CMC-700 power armor has a rougher appearance and is equipped with a rotating Gauss machine gun, small missiles and grenade launchers.

Almost instantly, the scattered believers were killed, the street returned to stability, and the people who had been fleeing in panic now had a backbone, and they gathered in the defense line of Krieg and the mixed team.

Battalion Commander Krieger, who was holding a small-caliber bolt pistol, a smaller chain sword hanging on his waist, and a yellow helmet, left the Mammoth and walked towards Leon, Ada and Andre who were at the main entrance of the hotel.

Seeing the battalion commander approaching, Leon said to him: "Thank you very much, Regiment 087, for responding to our request for support."

The battalion commander, who remained silent, responded with a slight nod.

Leon knew that it would be great if Krieger could nod, and then he analyzed in a deep voice to everyone present:

"However, with the current situation, it is obviously impossible to complete the extermination operation, and the number of believers far exceeds our estimate.

Therefore, I propose that on the premise of reducing civilian casualties as much as possible, we try to destroy the crazy plan of the believers and kill the former director of the Public Security Department, Phils Doroni, who confirmed the rebellion."

"The problem is..." Ada, with a frown on her face, said worriedly: "We can't pinpoint the whereabouts of Phils, and we're not sure what their radical methods are."

"..."

Andre, who knew that he was now considered a civilian, put away his generous smile and chose not to participate in the discussion.

"This is simple..." Leon took out his mobile phone, called up the three-dimensional hologram of the metropolitan area, pointed to Area 01 in the center, and answered everyone's questions:

"Fiers is most likely in Area 01, and the so-called radical method, I guess, is that group of crazy scum who want to set up some kind of summoning ritual pattern, and then use the lives of the tens of millions of residents in Area 01 as sacrifices

, let’s summon some kind of evil god.”

???

Summoning ritual?

Sacrifice to evil gods?

Andre opened his eyes wide to show his extreme confusion.

If the turmoil this time was caused by alien creatures, Andre could still understand it, but supernatural creatures such as evil gods were far beyond the old major's understanding.

As for Leon, who solved everyone's doubts, he is sure that Area 01 is the target of the believers because he has dealt with too many "god"-related incidents, and his experience in this area is considered to be one of the best in the entire Umbrella.

At this time, Leon took out the business card he had always carried with him and smiled at Andre:

"Major, now we have encountered a special situation. The main force of the Krieg 087 regiment is incapable of doing anything. The UNSC cannot believe it, so I hope you can summon the remaining resistance forces and try to clear out the scum of the Cholera City."

"Of course." Andre was no longer as confused as before, but after reaching out to take back the business card, he said slightly tangled:

"It's just...boy Lyon, my old subordinates and I need more intelligence support."

"No problem." Leon turned to look at Ada beside him and said, "Ada, come and help the major and the others better distinguish between normal civilians and scum."

"Okay." Ada had no objection.

"Captain." Leon looked at Battalion Commander Krieger, who had remained silent, and continued to propose:

"As I just said, we can only achieve the purpose of delaying time by going to Area 01 to kill Phils Doroni and destroy the summoning ceremony of the scum.

otherwise...

Before support arrives, all 270 million of Acadia's compatriots may die."

"..." After hearing what Leon said, the battalion commander nodded again without thinking, turned around and walked towards the Mammoth.

And the battalion commander seemed to use the communication inside the helmet to give the order. More than half of the Kriegs returned to the armored vehicles, while fifty Kriegs stayed in place.

It seems that these fifty Kriegs are preparing to assist the mixed team in dealing with the believers.

Seeing this, Leon also followed the battalion commander to the Mammoth. After all, Krieger needed his "expert" to provide intelligence assistance.

Looking at Leon's back, Ada raised her voice and smiled: "Hey, rookie, don't die."

Hear the words.

Leon raised his left hand and shook it, turning his back to Ada and said, "Don't worry, I won't give up the travel subsidy provided by the company."

The voice fell.

Leon and the battalion commander had already entered the Mammoth, then closed the hatch and continued to clear the way for the entire convoy, heading towards Area 01 in the center.

See the convoy and stay away.

Ada returned to her cold demeanor and said to Andre: "Major, I suggest that we first capture the Public Security Bureau in Area 04 to obtain more ammunition and equipment."

"Okay! My old subordinates and I also want to teach those guys a lesson!" Andre readily accepted Ada's suggestion.

...

Shortly after.

On the main road at the outermost edge of Area 01, the Krieger convoy, which maintained a constant speed, was gradually approaching the most central area of ​​the city.

And District 01 does not appear to be very chaotic. Compared with other urban areas, the traffic conditions on the streets in District 01 are good, and there is no need for the Mammoth to crush and clear the road. In other words, the streets look very...

Empty and deserted.

There were no pedestrians running around in a hurry, and no believers forcing people to drink the thick soup.

Even the street lights and building lights were extinguished, leaving only the motorcade lights and the center of Area 01, which shone with a faint green light, like a "light pillar" reaching into the sky.

Inside the front cockpit of the Mammoth Mobile Fortress.

Leon, wearing the simple armor and Hellfire rifle provided by the combat camp, observed the situation outside with an extremely solemn expression.

Area 01 is so deserted, which means that the believers have either completed the ritual, or are about to complete it.

In the similar incidents he has handled, at most hundreds or thousands of victims were sacrificed to summon the so-called evil gods.

And now...

It's hard to estimate.

This shows that the evil god this time is definitely not the "stinky fish and rotten shrimp" in the past.

"Beep! Beep!"

At this moment, the rapid sound of sirens caused Leon to focus his attention on the front end of the street, where he vaguely saw the "UNSC troops" waiting in full formation.

“Ri~——咻!!”

The 200mm caliber Gauss cannon installed on the top of the Mammoth immediately bombarded the "UNSC force".

The blue light trajectory streaked across the ground, shining in the dark streets, and hit a Scorpio main battle tank with rotten mold growing on its surface.

"boom--!"

The Scorpion was destroyed with one shot, and the explosion even affected the "UNSC soldiers" guarding nearby.

However, after the explosion, the "soldiers" quickly stood up again and controlled their firearms to launch a counterattack against Krieger's convoy.

A closer look at these "soldiers" revealed that the skin exposed outside their clothing and armor was dripping with mucus and completely ulcerated.

In some of them, the abdominal skin is closely connected with armor and clothing, leaving gaps open to expose the peristaltic intestines.

There are even fang-like bone tissues above and below the gap, as if there is an extra mouth in the abdomen.

After being so corrupted, how can you still see that "they" were once soldiers who protected mankind?

"Ding~! Dang~!"

The dense shellless pulse shells clanked against the Mammoth's external armor.

The war is about to break out.

The two siege tanks at the rear accelerated their speed, came to both sides of the Mammoth, and used their main guns to bombard the rebellious UNSC troops.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The Kriegs standing on the roof of the Mammoth, operating fixed machine guns, were also "spraying" high-energy beams on the rebel positions.

The armored personnel carrier, which was not equipped with large-caliber artillery, chose to stop, open the hatch for the Kriegs to leave the cabin, and launch an attack in coordination with the tanks and Mammoth.

At the same time, the Mammoth also opened the rear hatch and moved forward slowly while unloading the battalion commander and Kriegs who had already been prepared.

In an instant.

The dark streets were filled with red and blue ballistics, flashing with the light of guns and artillery.

The explosions and the roars of different warheads were intertwined, and the street buildings began to be riddled with holes due to the fierce fighting.

There was a huge difference in the number of people on both sides. Krieg's side only had less than 500 men, while the rebels seemed to have endless strength.
To be continued...
