1131: Chapter 619: The Battle of the Command Tower 1131: Chapter 619: The Battle of the Command Tower Erich looked at Wang ngsong, his expression quite complex.
What should be done now?
Should Wang ngsong be stripped of his command, and this overly assertive guy be taken down?
Not to ntion Wang ngsong’s contributions to the battle, just considering the cost of taking him down, it’s unacceptable.
The old Torch mbers around Wang ngsong were clearly all united with him.
If force is used, will conflict arise between the two sides?
At such a critical mont, would there be internal strife?
That would be outrageous.
Erich maintained a cold face, but in truth, he was quite at a loss inside.
Since internal strife is out of the question, then…
should we ask Wang ngsong how the next actions should proceed?
That would be sowhat too humiliating.
In the midst of this dilemma, Wang ngsong spoke up.
There was no pretense, just straight to the point, and he offered tactical suggestions for the next steps.
Then, the new Torch mbers began to take action.
There were still troops left outside; they needed so forces to guard the periphery of the command tower to prevent the Sage from escaping.
To ensure that if he tried to flee from the top of the command tower using an aircraft, they could intercept imdiately.
The firepower for interception wasn’t just near the exterior of the command tower but also included several high-level platforms nearby.
The Interstellar Warriors could ensure that no aircraft could approach or leave the command tower in a short tifra.
If the Sage left by air, it would actually be easier to handle.
But clearly, he intended to die defending.
…
Antoine Delaroch was already aware of Farai’s assassination.
He even received ssages from various parties, hoping he would surrender.
Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to switch sides together, share in the great cause, and return to the Empire?
There’s no need for such fierce conflict, making the battle so brutal.
But Delaroch refused them all, and even furiously cursed those people.
Moreover, Delaroch felt he was far from losing yet.
Although the Interstellar Warriors attacking the Starport initially caused massive chaos with their strong individual abilities, as he reacted, the battlefield situation had already been brought under control.
Had it not been for an unexpected incident from the flank causing him misjudgnt, he would still be calm and collected now.
But even now, it wasn’t the end.
The command tower, though called a tower, had quite a large internal scale.
In his hands, he still had thousands of elite troops, fortified within the command tower, defending over a dozen floors.
He did not expect these few thousand to repel the Interstellar Warriors alone.
But as long as they could hold them off, the million troops within the Starport would continuously co for reinforcent to repel these Interstellar Warriors.
And as long as he held firm, the fence-sitters on the planet would not dare to completely side with the Alliance.
The Alliance agents were active, and they were sowhat stunned by the Thunder Operation.
But given enough ti, once they reacted, even if Farai died, he had enough prestige to turn the tide.
Delaroch stood up and paced, contemplating counterasures.
He knew the situation was extrely severe, but he wasn’t without the power to fight.
His body had been significantly modified for combat, and in terms of combat configuration alone, he believed he was even stronger than Farai.
He could hold on.
However, the terrible news kept coming in.
Several troop carriers fully loaded with elite forces, under the escort of fighter jets, were ready to enter the command tower from the air.
Although Delaroch had declared no evacuation, it would still be good to have more reinforcents from the air.
But these attempts all failed.
Nearly a hundred Interstellar Warriors guarding the periter were not pushovers.
They not only possessed complete anti-air infantry weapons but also had good effects using several anti-air firepower platforms, previously belonging to the Sect of chanics, captured in the surroundings.
Even with fighter escorts, it was useless.
The troop transportation ships, capable of large-scale deploynts, were still too fragile and easily shot down.
Moreover, the supporting forces from the ground periter all faced interception and couldn’t reach their destination.
Troops numbering over ten thousand were often blocked directly by just a few Interstellar Warriors, unable to break through.
The terrain within the Starport was very similar to the densely constructed surface Nest Capital, and in the narrow environnt, the troops couldn’t fully deploy.
At the sa ti, the number of people confronting the Interstellar Warriors was limited.
If the elite level was insufficient to break through, it was aningless to have more people behind them.
Even using heavy firepower wasn’t effective.
Artillery was not usable inside the Starport, and using missile attacks and then employing tanks or other heavy armored units to approach for direct fire could indeed repel a few blocking Interstellar Warriors, but the passage would also collapse, preventing rapid troop movent.
Detouring or clearing debris would take more ti, during which they would face continuous harassnt.
At tis, when the New Era Torch warriors felt they couldn’t hold on, they would even proactively destroy buildings, blocking roads in the structure of the Starport.
Of course, objectively, these were temporary difficulties.
The news coming from all directions indicated they were trying every ans to rescue the command tower.
The number of Interstellar Warriors stationed outside was ultimately limited, and reinforcents would co eventually.
As long as he held on long enough.
