Myles heard a weird sound coming from the direction of the cargo, he turned his attention towards the source of the cargo.
He saw something that he didn't expect, the door of the cargo was opened.
The caption was standing near the entrance holding a small object which was glowing.
"What's the purpose of this object?" Myles muttered under his breath.
Just a second later, the energy began to expand at a rapid speed.
In a mere second a powerful shockwave of energy traveled throughout the entire battlefield. Unlike the shockwave produced due to a collision, this shockwave didn't produce any physical damage.
However, Myles certainly felt very weird when the energy passed through his body.
"What is this weird sensation?" Myles thought to himself as he kept jumping around.
Just as Myles was thinking what was wrong, he slowed down all of a sudden and a notification flashed in his retina.
(The mechanism of your boots is damned due to the outburst of electromagnetic waves)
(Hence, all the skills, including passive skills, are deactivated!)
When Myles saw the notification flashing in his retina, a look of despair stuck to his face!
"What is the caption up to!? How will I dodge the rain of bullets now!!" Myles exclaimed, his voice carrying doubt.
Myles began to think what to do as he jumped around as quickly as possible. As Myles thought about what to do, he realized something important that he might have overlooked.
"Why don't I hear the sound of gunshots?" Myles thought to himself, his voice carrying seriousness
He made a wild guess that could change the course of battle if true. With a deep breath, he halted his steps and looked around him.
What he saw both shocked and relieved him at his core!! Smoke was coming out from the guns of his enemies.
No matter how many times they pulled the lever, the gun didn't fire, signaling that it was broken.
The mechanical melee weapons were also no exception. Smoke was also coming out from the gauntlet of his enemy!
Excitement was visible on his face but he didn't let it get the best of him. He diverted his attention towards their own gunners and mechanical warriors.
The same sight, similar to that of their enemies, unfolded before his eyes, causing his mood to drop.
"The guns of the enemies are broken; they have lost their long-range combat, but so have we.
I don't know if it provides an advantage or disadvantage to us" Myles thought to himself, his voice carrying uncertainty.
As Myles was pondering what was the advantage this situation granted them. A voice resounded through his ears that caused his doubts to disappear like they didn't exist in the first place!
"All gunners enter the cargo, there are energy guns inside. Take one each and open fire at our enemies!
As for the mechanical fighter, unfortunately, our employers have not permitted you to make use of the mechanical melee weapons inside!!
Everyone else protect the entrance of the cargo until the gunners have taken their weapons! " The caption ordered his voice carrying seriousness.
The captain quickly entered the cargo after issuing the order.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, the gunners quickly charged toward the cargo without wasting a second!!
Hearing this Myles and the others quickly charged towards the door of the cargo to provide support. He glanced at the injured enemy who was just a few meters away from him.
"I should kill him first before he becomes a threat!" Myles thought to himself.
He changed his trajectory slightly and charged towards him from behind him. Since he was behind him, he didn't notice him.
The leader of the enemy realized how big of a trouble they would land in if the gunners got their hands on the weapons.
Without their long-range combatants to counter them. They would be sitting ducks waiting to get slaughtered!
Hence, he quickly issued a command.
"All melee combatants charge towards our enemies and stop them from accomplishing their goals! I don't care if you are a mechanical fighter or not.
As for the gunners, fall back for now!" The leader of the enemies ordered.
Hearing this, they nodded their heads and charged forward, obeying his commands.
Myles ignored the words of the enemies and continued his charge toward the injured enemy.
A dozen seconds later, he finally was within the range of his target. Only when he was within reach, did his enemy turn around. Hence, noticing him.
Sadly, it was far too late. Without giving him a chance to react, he swung his sword towards his heart, planning to stab him.
His sword passed through his left chest like a knife passing through butter. He let out a scream of pain as fresh blood started to come out from his body.
"Ahahahaha!" The enemy let out a scream.
Myles drew his sword a second too late. Blood gushed out like water bursting from a dam, forming a small pool beneath him.
The eyes of his enemy turned lifeless as he collapsed on the ground shortly after. He had died. Notifications flashed in his retina, confirming his death, but he ignored them.
He diverted his attention towards the entrance of the cargo and saw that the Dark Knight was protecting the entrance with his shield.
Some of his allies had still not gathered around it; the same was true for his enemies.
"I should head there right now" Myles mumbled.
He quickly charged towards the cargo to protect it from enemies.
As he neared his enemies, he saw that his comrades were forming a small defensive formation around the door of the cargo.
It was quite a good decision considering their low numbers. As for enemies, they were still far away. He assumed it would take him 30 seconds or more to reach the door.
He moved as fast as possible to reinforce the formation.
However, due to losing the boost provided by his boots, he couldn't move as fast as before. In the end, it took him nearly 25 seconds to reach the door.
Upon reaching the formation, he stood beside one of his comrades and reinforced the defense further.
He quickly prepared to fight since the enemies were just a few seconds away from launching a full-scale assault!!
Since he still hadn't gotten hit after activating the third movement, it was still activated.
Just a few seconds later, the enemies launched a full-scale attack at their enemies.
Attacks of various weapons descended upon them a mere second later.
"Try to block the attacks, everyone!!" Myles let out a war cry.
They nodded their heads and tried their best to block the attacks
Myles blocked all of the incoming attacks with great difficulty. But he still tried his best to help his comrades block the enemy's attack.
But no matter how much they tried, it was a fact that formation was on the verge of getting destroyed!
"We just need to hold on for a few minutes!" Myles shouted to boost their morals.
