Chapter 1021: Chapter 552, Blood Shark Slaughters the Torch_2
However, at the mont their formation beca even more scattered due to the explosion, more than a dozen Blood Sharks silently rushed into them with the blast!
These silent warriors, wearing silver-gray chest armor, leg armor, and helts, with dark gray shoulders and a streak of blood on their helts, painted with blood-colored shark patterns, so held double axes, so held giant axes; among them were power weapons and chainsaw weapons.
They seed to have a special preference for axes; among the dozen or so, most carried axes. Only a few were equipped with power swords or weapons like long-handled halberds.
They were undoubtedly masters of close combat, ruthless butchers.
In an instant, they caused terrifying casualties, unleashing a bloodbath among the New Era Torch crowd.
Wang ngsong saw with his own eyes, amidst the chaos of his ambushed team, severed limbs flying in an instant, and he even saw three heads soar into the air.
This scene filled him with pain and anger!
A Blood Shark, after severing a New Era Torch’s arm, continued with a barrage of attacks like a storm, striking the opponent’s chest armor, leg armor, and helt multiple tis in monts, almost ensuring the opponent could no longer resist, fatally wounded even if not dead.
Yet the Blood Shark showed no signs of stopping, seemingly unwilling to spare any mutilated parts from being chopped down.
“Enough!” With a fierce shout, Wang ngsong charged rapidly to the Blood Shark’s back.
The Blood Shark turned its head, scarlet eyes staring at the torch’s Battle Group Leader, its double axes unhesitatingly slashing towards him.
As the Battle Group Leader, Wang ngsong’s strength was naturally not lacking. He wielded a flaming long-handled war hamr—this was the sacred relic of the New Era Torch, a weapon that only the Battle Group Leader could wield.
Upon contact, the heavy force overwheld the Blood Shark warrior, knocking him off balance. The suddenly expanding flas engulfed the Blood Shark in the next mont.
After a deafening explosion, the flas gradually dispersed.
The Blood Shark lay on the ground, while the flaming long-handled war hamr was pulled out from his crushed chest.
In his fury, Wang ngsong didn’t pause, imdiately rushing towards the next Blood Shark, and after three or four moves, hamred the second one to the ground as well.
Next ca the third one.
The remaining Blood Sharks were soon all slain.
On the ground lay a total of 29 bodies, 12 of which were Blood Sharks, and the remaining 17 incompletely ford ones belonged to the New Era Torch warriors in brass and orange armor.
Looking at this ratio, it seed the difference was not great, but the New Era Torch was the side that suffered the explosion and ambush.
However, the manpower gap between the two sides was tenfold!
The attacking Blood Sharks were only 12 people in total. Although none survived, before all perishing, they managed to topple more New Era Torches than their own numbers, even with a Battle Group Champion like Wang ngsong in place!
This was more than enough to demonstrate their formidable combat capabilities.
Moreover, these Blood Sharks achieved their objective as well.
They managed to stall Wang ngsong’s team for a considerable amount of ti.
Wang ngsong understood this point too.
Without ti for lant, he left a few n to care for the wounded and led the remaining seventy towards the not-so-distant battlefield.
When he arrived at the scene, he found that the situation was already quite dire.
The number of Blood Sharks did not exceed expectations. Wang ngsong took a glance and roughly assessed that there were about sixty Blood Sharks in total, with about forty still alive; but unfortunately, there were originally a hundred mbers of the New Era Torch tasked with blocking them, now only sixty remained.
Despite having superior numbers, they still suffered a two-to-one exchange ratio.
It was difficult for Wang ngsong to articulate whether he should be shocked and furious at the enemy’s strength, or resentful of his own people’s incompetence.
The disparity in capabilities between the two sides was indeed apparent.
But what troubled him was not just this.
He also saw a squad of Blood Sharks leaving the blockade line.
They had already disrupted the lines of the Torch squads blocking them, with their main forces holding back the New Era Torches, yet still managed to send out a squad for another mission.
What were they going to do?
There is no doubt that they intended to bomb the core engine room.
Wang ngsong imdiately gave orders, deploying personnel to pursue them. But two Blood Sharks tried to obstruct the pursuers.
The Torch Leader roared in rage and charged up, killing the two blocking Blood Sharks at the cost of receiving an axe blow.
There were three Blood Sharks going to destroy the engine room, while the chase team of the New Era Torch consisted of ten people, including a company commander and two company champions. They should… they should be able to stop them, right?
There was no ti for further thought as he was already personally involved in the battle.
With him and his sixty n entering the battlefield, the advantage in numbers was even more apparent.
Eventually, they still secured victory, at the cost of about twenty casualties, killing nearly thirty Blood Sharks.
After the battle, Wang ngsong removed his helt.
Gasping for breath, his head was covered in blood.
Throughout the battle, he alone had killed a total of nine Blood Sharks.
However, he also paid a considerable price.
His helt was chopped apart, with two deep wounds exposing the skull, constantly bleeding; his left hand was sowhat limp, due to having to resist a slash with his elbow, the bone was severed, and only a layer of skin and armor kept the left arm from falling off, hanging to the side.
Had Wang ngsong not personally charged into the Blood Shark group, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Each Blood Shark exhibited formidable individual capabilities, and among those he killed, there were even two reaching company champion level, and even a company commander level existence.
Even if he was not at the forefront, victory might still be attainable, but the losses on his side could have been more than twenty, maybe another ten more.
But he could not yet attend to his injuries or the casualties of his troops.
Anxiously, he called through the communicator, summoning the squad that went to stop the bombing of the engine room.
He hoped for good news.
However, on the other side of the communicator, there was silence.
An ominous feeling rose in his heart.
Yet, since there was no explosion, perhaps they were just fighting hard, unable to connect…
“Boom!”
The violent explosion interrupted Wang ngsong’s thoughts.
He, and the New Era Torches around him, were all blown away.
The core engine room exploded.
Hitting the ground hard, it took Wang ngsong over ten seconds to struggle back up.
What greeted his eyes was a sea of flas.
…
The explosion of the core engine room did not directly destroy the Torch of Light, nor did it kill all of Wang ngsong and his hundred-plus warriors.
However, this did not an the Torch of Light could survive.
After the core engine was destroyed, the entire warship’s power dropped to a terrifyingly low level, almost to the point of immobility.
Simultaneously, as the energy output sharply plumted, the ship’s Void Shield also suddenly disappeared.
Granted, the Torch of Light had multiple auxiliary power engines; if there were no combat pressure, it could slowly retreat or be towed by other ships back to the factory for repairs, potentially saving it.
But now, there was no chance for that.
The Bloodshark Fleet, originally focused on attacking the Fla of Triumph, suddenly turned their cannons towards the Torch of Light.
Strike while the iron is hot, bring it down!
It must be blown up!
The Alliance ships also followed suit, changing targets to open fire.
Ultimately, a ship equivalent to a battleship’s level, the flagship of a battle group, the Torch of Light battle barge, exploded into a heap of space debris.
anwhile, the Fla of Triumph also withdrew.
This battle was no longer winnable.
The abruptly appearing Blood Shark Battle Group was too fierce.
Without even considering another boarding assault, even in naval combat, missing a battle barge, the scales of victory were no longer tipped in their favor.
Politos decisively chose to retreat.
Retreating while fighting, he sohow managed to hold on until rendezvousing with the battleship completing warp and arriving in this star system.
The Alliance Fleet and the Bloodshark Fleet did not continue pursuit.
However, Politos could sense a heavy scent of blood hanging close by his fleet. The Man-Eating Sharks, who had slled the scent, showed no intention of leaving.
The threat facing the Fury Fleet was far from being resolved.
