-----------
The Astra Militarum was not only using bullets made of alloy; additionally, the gun barrels were mixed with the alloy also. Of course, this configuration was only for the 3,000 elite of the Astra Militarum, the rest of the Guardsmen only had ordinary rifles. These alloy guns were much better in shooting accuracy and speed than normal rifles!
The bullets fired were shot inside the defense line of 400 Card Mages. Because it was a flat plane, there was nothing to cover and the Card Mage also did not have any experience in dealing with it, so they could only be killed.
What was even more depressing was that their card's attack range was almost all within 100 meters, only a few intermediate-level Card Mages such as Gajos had powerful cards with an attack range of more than 100 meters.
Card Mages' cards, the only role of their cards was to resist the bullets that were constantly being fired. It was just that under the frantic firing of the Astra Militarum, especially the alloy bullets, the cards didn't last long.
Five minutes later, most of the energy cards of four hundred Card Mages had been used up. The nearby Card Mage base had a lot of stock, but it was already too late to get that.
"Attack-!" Allard shouted and launched an all-out attack.
The 2,000 Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum attacked quickly with high morale. While there was still energy left on the Card Mages, a large amount of bullets were fired, so these Card Mages couldn't support more than a few hits.
After getting hit by dozens of bullets, they were dead. For the remaining Card Mages, the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum showed no mercy, they killed them without hesitation. So far, this defense line of Card Mages disintegrated in less than ten minutes. All Card Mages were dead.
"Kill them and kill the guy in the coat-!" Allard did not stop and continued to order.
The Astra Militarum rushed up.
At this time, Gajos and the Card Mages under his command were still trying their best to approach the Astra Militarum's position. They were already approaching within the range of fifty meters and the Astra Militarum in the front row was attacked by cards, but there were shields and small shields that they carried around, so no one was killed.
"Attack-!" Gajos shouted.
He knew that the defensive line behind him was being attacked by another Astra Militarum. If he couldn't break through the position in front of him soon, it would be dangerous for him.
"Chief, retreat..." The voice of a Card Mage suddenly came from the back.
Gajos turned his head to look. He saw a large group of Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum, holding black firearms in their hands. They were rushing over frantically and they were already less than 500 meters away.
"Where's our defense line? Where are the Card Mages?" Gajos asked with a trembling voice.
"Dead, all dead." An intermediate-level Card Mage in the back said through clenched teeth.
Gajos was struck by lightning and was frozen on the spot. 400 Card Mages was a force that no power could ignore, surprisingly, it couldn't even last ten minutes?!
"Chief, let's withdraw-!" The Card Mage beside him hurriedly advised.
They were also senior people under Gajos' command and they were well-experienced. With a glance at the situation, they knew that there was no point in continuing to fight.
Among all the Card Mages, 400 people were in the rear line of defense, at this time, all of them were dead. A hundred or so people were also killed or injured who were attacking the Astra Militarum's position in the front, now, there were less than four hundred people left!
Gajos clenched his hands tightly. Very reluctantly, he looked at the position of the Astra Militarum that was close, in the end, he still chose to escape.
"Want to leave?" Cross immediately discovered the intention of Gajos and the others and gave the first order: "Leave a hundred people behind, the others all rush up, we can't let these people get away, especially the man in the coat-!"
They dug trenches and erected obstacles for an all-out defense, just to minimize the loss of the Astra Militarum. One could say that they couldn't beat those Card Mages head-ons, but now it was not the same anymore.
Cross rushed out with the Astra Militarum and lunged on Gajos and others who retreated. Allard's division had already foreseen this possibility.
Among the 2,000 guardsmen of the Astra Militarum, they were divided into four small groups. With 500 people per group, 2 of these groups were already waiting on the other side. It was the base of the Black Hibiscus Flower Group and Gajos wanted to retreat to the base.
"They have almost used up their energy cards now, and they must withdraw to the base to replenish them. We are fortifying there." This was the order given by Allard after he broke through the defense line of the Card Mages.
The results were not different at all. Gajos and others had no better place to go, the base was close and it was also the safest. A defense line of 1,000 Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum became the last stumbling block for Gajos and others.
The gunshots kept coming and bullets were flying. The surviving Card Mages were unable to move an inch, most of them had used up their energy cards. Every ten meters forward, several people had to fall.
In the rear, 1,000 Guardsmen were brought by Allard, as well as Cross' men. Those Card Mages were surrounded from both directions.
"Could it be that God wants to kill me?" Gajos clenched his hands tightly and looked at the sky helplessly and let out a long wail.
"Chief, we'll cover you, you can break out. They can't stop you." One of his men said sharply.
Gajos' nails were about to sink into his palms. Letting his subordinates cover his escape was simply a complete and utter humiliation to him, Gajos.
"Go, chief." Several old subordinates were shouting.
Gajos was furious, but the situation was bigger than him. In the end, under the cover of his subordinates, he quickly rushed towards the line of defense of the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum.
Soon, Gajos was approaching a hundred meters.
"Stop him-!" Behind them, Allard and Cross shouted at the same time.
Everyone else could escape but not Gajos, as that Amplification Card was on Gajos' body. If they couldn't get it, this conquest would be considered a failure. This was unacceptable to generals such as Cross and Allard, who had already issued orders.
The Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum immediately aimed their fire at Gajos. Under this terrifying firepower, Gajos' subordinates kept dying. Gajos himself was so blinded and kept using one powerful card after another.
Finally, Gajos broke through the defense line of the Astra Militarum. After consuming all the remaining energy in the last energy card, Gajos launched a card. He went straight up into the sky and quickly took off. The goal was the base not far away.
If they let Gajos rush into the base and let him replenish enough energy cards, he could get rid of all the pursuers. The Astra Militarum hurriedly pursued, but the speed of the card was too fast.
In the blink of an eye, Gajos flew hundreds of meters away and the Astra Militarum could only watch helplessly. When the last bit of energy was consumed, the card stopped.
Gajos looked around, and then he looked back at the Astra Militarum several hundred meters away and took a long breath of relief. At the same time, there was a trace of deep hatred in his eyes. To cover his escape, many of his people were killed.
"I, Gajos, have survived. In the future, I will make you invaders pay ten times the price." Gajos' eyes were filled with killing intent.
He took a deep breath and walked quickly towards the base.
Bang-!
A sound suddenly rang out. Immediately after that, Gajos felt a sharp pain coming from his right leg. His body went soft and he fell directly to his knees.
"The target is injured, should we continue?" A voice came from the left.
Gajos slowly turned his head to look. He was surprised to see that another group of the Astra Militarum showed up in a small forest not far away.
At the head of the group was a young general. Looking at the injured Gajos, Fleming also breathed a sigh of relief. Earlier, he took over the tall building with his group with a good view. Later, when the battle took place, he did not participate, instead, he continued to observe.
After seeing that Gajos' side was going to lose, he made a bold decision. With 100 Guardsmen, he came to this small forest, as he judged that Gajos would flee to this base here.
As expected, there were no surprises. Without the energy card, Gajos' physique was only a little better than ordinary people's, he couldn't dodge this sudden attack. After he got shot in the leg, it was difficult to even walk.
Fleming led his men to quickly surround him.
Seeing this, Croft, Yang Fei, and others were silent. They knew that Gajos couldn't escape.
