A powerful shockwave strong enough to send normal humans shortly followed after the explosion. It destroyed everything that stood in its path, the buildings standing also suffered from serious damage.
Just a few meters away from Myles, he spotted countless debris resting on the ground.
Thankfully, the armor of the cargo was resilient enough to withstand the power of the shockwave.
But it was a question of how long the armor of the cargo would be able to last.
However, this was not the reason for him to despair. It was far from it! Myles was pretty sure that there were two players stationed there.
However, they were nowhere to be seen! It could only mean one thing.
"2 of us have been killed" Myles exclaimed, his voice carrying disbelief.
Upon hearing this, a grim silence descended around them. His allies taunting their enemies had stopped.
It seemed like the loss of their allies had impacted their morale much greater than they expected.
As they were falling into their thoughts, the captain's voice echoed through their ears.
"Everyone, focus on dealing with your opponents! Mourning for the loss of our allies in the middle of battle will only increase our chances of death!
Moreover, I am contacting sir to request reinforcements right now," The captain shouted while taking out the communication device.
His words reminded them of the current danger that each of them was facing. It also provided them with a sense of relief, especially the last line of words.
As for the caption, he retreated to the cargo since he needed a safe place to call for reinforcements.
However, the enemy's gunners had no intention of letting him off so easily. They pointed their guns towards him, intending to open fire any second.
Seeing this, the caption quickly issued some orders!
"Cover me until I am done requesting reinforcement!" The caption was ordered.
However, this was a tough request to fulfill. They know their chance of survival depends on whether they can fulfill this request.
Since defeating the enemies with their current forces was impossible!
"Those who are close by, cover up the leader. As for those who are further away!!" Kevin shouted his voice carrying seriousness.
Upon hearing this, two guys wielding a shield covered the caption body in an instant. Hoping to protect him from the gunners.
Seeing this, Myles diverted his attention to enemies knowing he couldn't do much to help him. He focused on dealing with his enemies.
"I should just focus on dealing with my enemies so they don't have to worry about this side," Myles thought to himself.
His enemies were less than a meter away from them. He assumed that it would take them a few seconds to reach them.
Since they were approaching him from the front and back, it was tricky to deal with them. However, Myles knew what he needed to do.
He rotated his entire body by 360 degrees and swung his sword in hopes of deflecting off the attacks of his enemies.
It worked, he managed to deflect the two of their attacks. They were sent a few cm backward due to the force.
Using this opportunity, Myles made a backflip jumping up to a height of dozens of cm to get behind the enemy with a gauntlet.
Due to the speed boost provided by his boots, he was able to land safely behind his enemies in just a few seconds.
"It seems like I can also use the speed boost provided by the boots like this too" Myles thought to himself.
Nonetheless, he quickly shook his head and focused on the battle.
The enemy's back was facing towards him; he knew that this was a good opportunity to counterattack.
The spearman was already charging towards him, he knew that the opportunity to counterattack wouldn't last for long.
Hence, he launched a devastating stab towards him intending to stab his heart. It wasn't easy since his enemy was already preparing to dodge the attack!
But Myles had no intention of giving up. Hence, he continued his charge. He managed to slash the right side of the enemy's body.
However, he failed to stab his heart or any other part of his body. He was still satisfied since he was starting to bleed from the injured area.
Adding the bleeding from his sword and his new injuries, he was losing blood at rapid speed! If his bleeding didn't stop then it might prove fatal for him!
The enemy once again fell to his knees as he let out a grunt of pain.
(You have dealt 20 damage to the enemy!)
Myles ignored the notification flashing in his retina, he quickly put on a defensive stance since the spearman was near within his reach.
Within a mere second, Myles had taken on the necessary formation.
"Come!" Myles let out a war cry.
Just a few seconds later, the spearman launched devastating slashes towards him. With great difficulty, he managed to block most of his attacks.
However, all of a sudden the spearmen pulled a stunt that he didn't expect. When he blocked the attack of the spear, the enemy didn't retract his spear.
Instead, he pushed further and Myles tried his best to push him backwards. Just a few seconds later something unexpected happened.
A small gun slowly came out from the handle of the spear, pointing toward him. This was the special advantage that modern melee weapons provided to fighters.
They came with a lot of hidden features and hidden weapons such as this spear that had a hidden gun installed in it!!
"What!!" Myles shouted, his voice carrying disbelief.
Myles was completely caught off guard by this, he didn't know what to do now!
A few minutes prior.
The captain had finally retreated near the cargo under the protection of his subordinates.
His subordinates were protecting him even at the instant.
"I need to quickly request for reinforcements," The caption thought to himself.
He turned on the community device that he was holding. He quickly dialed the number of their employer just a few seconds later.
The sound of ringing resounded through his ears as he waited. He didn't have to wait for long since the call was answered shortly.
A worried voice resounded through his ears.
"Let's forget all courtesy; tell me, have you managed to escort the cargo safely?" The worried voice of their employer resounded through his ears.
"No sir, it's the opposite. We are being overwhelmed by the thieves! I am afraid we won't last for long at this rate!" The captain replied emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
"Don't you dare lose! The cargo is far too valuable to be stolen!" The employer replied.
"We can't do anything if you don't send reinforcement" The caption replied bluntly, letting him know the reason behind his call.
Upon hearing this, a brief silence engulfed after he let his demands be known. After what felt like an eternity, he finally answered.
"Gathering enough fighters for reinforcement in such a short time is impossible for me.
However, I have another way to save your life" The employer's voice resounded through his ears.
A curious look formed on his forehead; it seemed like he was very interested in his suggestion.
