Chapter 72 - Triangular Battle Fortress 3

"Enemy within firing range!"

The brigade commander who had just survived the first wave of attack couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief and fear.

Looking around him he noticed that they were on plain land for thousands of miles, he could even see the rear troops who were a few miles from them.

Judging from the distance they would never be able to make it!

At the rear, General Bridge and the other generals were shocked to see the appearance of this machine guns which just popped out from the ground!

"General, please order the retreat of the advance troops or they'll all die!" A general of the Great West pleaded.

Among the division, majority of the men were from his country, he couldn't bare to see them die without even catching a glimpse of the enemy.

General Bridge on the other hand remained calm, "Pull back all the rear forces!" He ordered.

"But General, shouldn't you be withdrawing the advance force instead? They are the one in danger not us, General Rick don't you think so!'' The general from the Great West objected, as he tried to get the general from the United Capital to back him.

The general from the United Capital couldn't help but shake his head. He was always against General Bridge, he had objected to charging recklessly towards an enemy they didn't have enough information on,

But all this generals had remained silent and sided with General Bridge, now they had to face the consequences of their own actions,

And besides, for the first time today he sided with General Bridge orders to pull out the rear troops, the advance force were already gonners, there was no way they could survive the onslaughther of those machines gun and cannons that were hidden underneath the earth.

Looking at it now, all the land around the Triangular City were very flat, the builders of this city had probably thought about situations like this when choosing the area.

A high defensive barrier shielding the city, a flat land to force invaders to have nowhere to hide and hidden cannons and machine guns, what a great foresight the builders had!

"General Bridge is right, we are the one's who have to fall back, we don't know the firing range of those weapons, we might be in its firing range, moreover there's nothing we can do about the advance force.

Even if we give the order for them to withdraw now, non of them would make it! We have to prioritize our safety first and regroup for another attack!

"General Rick!! Are you suggesting we abandon and forsake the lives of twenty thousand men!!" The general of the Great West shouted angrily.

"Judging by the current situation, I believe this is our best cause of action! We have to abandon them and prioritize the rest of the army safety!" General Rick from the United Capital explained.

"What are we debating about this for? This isn't a request but an order from the highest ranking General here!!" General Bridge shouted.

"I said withdraw!" The rear forces suddenly started pulling back getting the furthest away as they could.

Meanwhile, the advance troops couldn't help but shudder in fear as the large machine guns and cannons which were larger than three men stacked on top of each other begun slowly lowering their barrels towards the troops.

Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

The commander suddenly ordered whiles taking the lead himself running.

This large machine guns and cannons weren't being operated manually, so the was nothing they could do than to run. If it was manually operated they would have at least tried to capture the guns for themselves.

It didn't take long before this machine guns and cannons begun their massacre, thousand of soldiers died as Tankers and Artilleries were destroyed within mere seconds.

To make matters worse, missiles kept raining at them from the Triangular City.

The entire area was filled with only the sound of this machine guns continuously firing rounds at the enemy soldiers, it was so loud that it covered the screams of the enemy soldiers.

After two hours of gunfire from the machine guns, the area became completely silent again.

The machines guns suddenly withdrawed and entered back beneath the hidden earth leaving a bloody massacre within it's wake.

As far as the eyes could see only dead bodies and remains of Tankers and other military vehicles could be be seen, the entire ground was dyed red with blood for miles ahead.

The soldiers within the barrier couldn't help but stare with cold sweat on their backs, they may have been trained to remain calm and composed in this kind of situations, but majority of them couldn't help but vomit at the scenes of the massacre before them.

They had seen with their own eyes how this soldiers had met a tragic ending, some had their limb torn trying to escape, but the emotionless machine guns didn't have mercy on their sorry state and shot as long as a single person was still moving.

Some even fell while trying to plead with this machine guns, how tragic!

"It's this what happens when you go against Archman Group!" A soldier muttered.

The mission control HQ was currently filled with silence, non of them had anticipated how this events would unfold,

At the beginning of this conflict, they had initially thought they were in danger of being rooted by the Super Countries,

But the unfolding events proved quite the opposite,

They were rather the danger!

The surprising thing was that, non of them knew the Triangular City had such defenses in place,

Looking back at the situation, this city was indeed built for situations like this, what great insight by the builders!

No wonder Luke had remained calm this entire time, he wasn't faking being calm but there really was nothing to worry about.

Luke on the other hand was seated on his chair in his office and couldn't help but sigh after witnessing the massacre that took place.

He couldn't help remembering a saying he had heard a long time ago, that kept ringing in his head, 'War was created by those to old to fight, for those too young to die to fight!'

That was the current situation, this young men had to die because of the greed of some old men, how pitiful!

In the future he'll create a world were there'll be no need for the young to die because of the old.

He had been in the citadel for quite sometime now, it was about time he headed home, after this setback the great nations were sure to not attack for sometime now, of course that was if they knew what was good for them.

...

Meanwhile the rear troops had withdrawed to quite a far distance from the city!

"Sir only a thousand of our men made it back from the advance force,

Majority of them are unfit to continue fighting this battle.

We have also lost seventy percent of our tankers and artillery!"

Report about the loses on their side kept coming in!

"Send the injured back home!" General Bridge ordered.

The entire room fell silent, they couldn't even take back the bodies of their men, this was a big blow to the super countries in this war.

They were the first side to suffer a major loss in this war, they had lost close to twenty thousand men in a single day, this might be regardered as the biggest military campaign defeat in history.

"General, we've lost contact with the other troops from the other entrances!''

Another report came in, delivering another major blow to the Super Countries, that made it thirty thousand soldiers! Thirty thousand soldiers all died in a single day.

...

The entire world was shocked after hearing what happened at the Triangular City!

No one dared to breathe loudly upon hearing the news, who would have thought that the Super Countries would suffer such a big blow after combining their forces to fight a corporate organization.

At the start of this battle, non of them had ever thought Archman Group stood a chance against the combined forces of the seven Super Countries.

But the current situation showed that the wariness the Super Countries had of Archman Group was valid, they actually possessed the power to fight against the Super Countries.

Now no one was certain of who would come on top after this battle, but if Archman Group came on top,

The world was going to go through major changes, no one on this planet would have the ability to stand before Archman Group. They would totally reshape the world however they wanted and no one would have the ability to stand in their way.

Even the neutrals in this war started to fear the outcome if Archman Group won this war.

....

Currently the Allied Command Center for the Super Countries was in chaos.

This war was really going badly for them, the war started barely a week ago and they had lost more than 500 billion in damages alone with countless loss of lives.

The invisible fleet at the coast has already wiped four seperate fleets and they still didn't know it's current location,

Moreover the troops they sent to invade the Gold Country haven't able to step into the country, The main forces of Archman Group had stopped them right at the border and were currently pushing them back.

Don't even get them started on the secret forces they had sent inside the country, months of secret planning and invasion only to suffer the biggest defeat in history on their first outing.

The Great West and Everlasting Country were considering pulling out of this war with the United Capital in support!
