Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Conflicts between Forces

After returning to the base, before we could even catch our breath, we knew that an even bigger storm was approaching. The alliance between the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance put us under unprecedented pressure.

I gathered all the team members in the base's meeting room to discuss countermeasures. "Everyone, we all know that we've got into big trouble this time. The combined forces of the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance are not to be underestimated," I said seriously.

Lynn pushed her glasses and said, "Captain, I think we should first strengthen the base's electronic defense. They will definitely send electronic experts to crack our system."

Kevin nodded, "I'll continue to improve the strength of the shield and try to withstand their more powerful attacks."

Tom waved his fist, "No matter what alliance they are, I'll burn them all if they come!"

Everyone expressed their opinions and suggestions enthusiastically. Finally, we formulated a detailed combat plan. On the one hand, we would strengthen the base's defense, using the terrain and our skill advantages to build multi - level defenses. On the other hand, we would send reconnaissance teams to monitor the movements of the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance at all times, looking for their weaknesses and flaws.

As days passed, the base was filled with a tense atmosphere. The team members were all intensively training to improve their skills. Lynn studied electronic jamming devices day and night, trying to develop weapons that could counter the advanced technology of the Steel Alliance. Kevin meditated constantly to improve his mental power and make the shield stronger. Tom was outside the base, constantly releasing flames and practicing the control and power of the fire.

Finally, we got news of the enemy's action. The reconnaissance team reported that the combined forces of the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance were marching towards our base. Their troops were vast, with a large number of well - equipped soldiers.

"Everyone, get ready for battle!" I shouted. The team members quickly took their positions and entered the combat state.

When the enemy arrived outside the base, they didn't launch an attack immediately. A general of the Steel Alliance rode a huge mechanical chariot to the front of the formation. He shouted loudly, "People inside, you've destroyed the lair of the Iron Blood Gang. We'll settle this score with you. Now, you have only two choices: surrender or be destroyed!"

I stood on the base's wall and replied, "Want us to surrender? That's just wishful thinking! If you have the guts, just come at us!"

The general sneered and waved his hand. The combined forces launched an attack. Immediately, the sounds of guns, cannons, and shouts of killing were deafening. The mechanical chariots of the Steel Alliance rushed forward. Their firepower was extremely powerful, and the shells continuously bombarded Kevin's shield. The members of the Iron Blood Gang followed behind, swarming towards the base from all directions.

Lynn immediately activated the electronic jamming system, trying to interfere with the enemy's weapons and chariots. However, the technology of the Steel Alliance seemed to be more advanced than we thought. Their equipment had strong anti - jamming capabilities. Lynn's jamming effect was not obvious.

"Lynn, increase the power!" I shouted.

Lynn gritted her teeth and continuously adjusted the device parameters. Finally, some of the enemy's chariots malfunctioned and slowed down.

Kevin's shield began to crack under the enemy's fierce attack. Sweat broke out on his forehead as he tried his best to maintain the stability of the shield.

Tom continuously released flames, attacking the enemy. Wherever the fire went, the enemy screamed and fell. But there were too many enemies, and our pressure was increasing.

Just when we were in trouble, suddenly we heard shouts of killing from behind. It was a small team we had arranged around the base. They launched an attack from the enemy's rear. They were like a sharp knife, stabbing into the enemy's formation and disrupting their deployment.

"Good opportunity, everyone, counter - attack together!" I shouted.

Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, we opened the base's gate, and all the team members rushed out and engaged in close - combat with the enemy. For a moment, there were flashes of swords and splashes of blood.

In the battle, I encountered the general of the Steel Alliance. He was very powerful. The weapon in his hand was an energy sword, and the sword body glowed with a blue light, with great power. We fought back and forth, evenly matched.

Lynn was looking for an opportunity to interfere with his weapon. Finally, she found a flaw and sent out an electronic pulse, hitting the general's energy sword. The energy sword malfunctioned instantly, and the general was stunned for a moment.

I took the opportunity to launch an attack and stabbed at his chest with my sword. He quickly dodged, but still got scratched on his arm. He roared angrily and wanted to continue fighting. But at this time, the enemy's formation had been disrupted by us, and they began to retreat.

Under our fierce attack, the combined forces of the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance finally couldn't hold on. They began to retreat, leaving behind a field of corpses and injured companions.

"We've won again!" the team members cheered.

Although we repelled the enemy's attack again this time, we also paid a heavy price. Many team members were injured, and the base was also damaged to a certain extent.

"Don't let your guard down, everyone. They will definitely come again. We need to repair the base as soon as possible and improve our strength to prepare for the next challenge," I said.

In the following days, we repaired the base on one hand and summarized the experience and lessons of this battle on the other. We found that the enemy's technology and tactics were very advanced. We had to keep learning and innovating to survive in this conflict between forces.

At the same time, I realized that we couldn't just defend passively all the time. We had to take the initiative, look for opportunities to break the enemy's alliance and weaken their strength. So, I began to plan a more daring operation...
