Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 224 The base was destroyed
Early in the morning, just as dawn broke, Li Jiu and others arrived near Base No. 16.
Last night, after eating the giant crocodile meat that Li Jiu brought back, not only did everyone recover their health quickly, but they also felt full of energy and spirits. So everyone stopped resting and rushed back overnight.
However, when they came back, they changed their route. After leaving the prairie, they did not cross the mountains, but went directly through the mountains and finally arrived at the mountains behind Base 16.
Because Li Jiu told everyone about his guess that the enemies encountered the day before yesterday might attack the base of Legion No. 16. Although the team members found it a little unbelievable at first, after careful consideration, they all agreed with Li Jiu's guess.
In order to avoid accidentally encountering the enemy on the way back, everyone took Li Jiu's suggestion and slightly changed the route.
Now, after crossing five or six miles of mountain road, everyone can see Base 16.
However, there was no trace of joy of returning victoriously on everyone's faces at this moment. Instead, their expressions were extremely solemn!
Because just a few dozen miles of mountain roads before, they had seen a large number of chariot wreckage and traces of fierce fighting all over the mountains!
Among them are the defenders’ giant destruction chariots, hunter vehicles, and a large number of various chariots that the team members have never seen before!
Of course, there are also many Alliance tanks here!
However, no matter whether it was the chariots of the defenders or the alliance, they were all in pieces and dilapidated, and not a single one was intact!
And in the vast mountains, huge craters, broken rocks, billowing smoke, and the charred bodies of a large number of soldiers scattered from the tanks of both sides could be seen everywhere...
All this is undoubtedly telling everyone that not long ago, an extremely brutal and fierce battle took place here!
After seeing traces of battle along the way, Li Jiu and his team immediately realized that the enemy had really attacked the 16th Legion base!
Moreover, the fierce battle here is likely just the tip of the iceberg of the entire battle... and the most brutal battle is probably still near the 16th Legion base...
Along the way, looking at the devastated land, Li Jiu and his team members remained highly vigilant as they moved forward. They also collected a lot of ammunition along the way to prevent possible encounters with enemies who survived the battle.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any enemies until they reached the hill behind Base 16.
After arriving here, everyone did not rush down the mountain, but lay behind the rocks, carefully looking at the situation below the mountain, near Base No. 16.
When everyone saw that the magnificent hemispherical base was now in a state of ruins and smoke, they couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in their hearts.
"It's over..." Scar Brother stared blankly at the scene below the mountain, his brows furrowed, his heart chilled, "I never thought the enemy could break through Base No. 16 in such a short time..."
After hearing Scar Brother's words, everyone was silent, but they also had a sad look on their faces.
At the same time, Li Jiu was also shocked after seeing the appearance of Base No. 16 at this time.
It was seen that the silver-grey base shield, which originally looked extremely solid, had exploded into shocking huge cracks, and thick black smoke was still emitting from those cracks.
In a large area surrounding the base, there are a large number of wreckages of various types of tanks and countless corpses of soldiers!
Obviously, the 4th Legion's Base No. 16 had been breached by the enemy... and before that, it must have experienced a shocking battle that Li Jiu could never have imagined before...
"Captain, what should we do? Should we go to other legion bases to seek help?" At this moment, Lei Zi suddenly frowned and asked Kaqi.
At the same time, everyone looked at Kaqi with questioning expressions.
You know, although everyone was shocked by the destruction of the No. 16 Legion Base, everyone returned to Base No. 16 for only one purpose, which was to take the Night Rose Mercenary Corps' long-distance transport plane back to the Alliance .
As for what's happening on the front battlefield, it's not something that mercenaries like them should be concerned about, and it's even more impossible for them to easily intervene.
Now that Base No. 16 has been breached, no one would think it was a good idea to return to the base to look for transport planes.
Because, let alone whether the transport plane of the Night Rose Mercenary Group could survive after such a brutal battle , even if it survived, Base No. 16 must be a dangerous place at this moment. Entering it to look for a plane is obviously an unwise decision.
After all, no one knows whether there will still be enemies left in the base after the battle is over...
Therefore, it seems that turning to other bases for help is the only way out for everyone.
"Wait a moment, let me contact the pilot of the transport plane first." Kaqi glanced at everyone and then thought for a moment.
After hearing this, everyone hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded silently.
Although the team members believed that the possibility of the pilots of the plane surviving was even slimmer than that of the transport plane, there was no loss in trying. Maybe the two pilots were lucky enough to survive, which would be even better.
Then, Kaqi tried to use the Ares system to contact the two pilots who brought them here.
After a moment, Kaqi frowned and her face darkened slightly.
After seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment on their faces. It seemed that the situation was not good...
"Can't get in touch." Sure enough, Kaqi was silent for a moment, shook her head and said.
Hearing Kaqi's confirmation, the team members sighed helplessly.
"It looks like we can only go to other bases for help." Veteran Brown said solemnly.
"Wait a moment……"
Just when everyone thought that there was only one way left, Li Jiu suddenly shook his head to stop them, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him.
"Kaki, have you contacted the people from the Fourth Legion? For example, Seth?" Li Jiu pondered for a moment, looked at Kaqi, and asked seriously.
Although this was Li Jiu's first time on the front line, during the mission, he also learned from veterans such as Brown that on the African battlefield, the distance between the two nearest legion bases was at least thousands of miles!
If they wanted to rush from one legion base to another on foot without any preparation, not to mention the dangers along the way, they would most likely encounter the enemy. Even if they could successfully reach another base, it would probably be many days later.
You should know that the district-level auditions for the God of War Tournament are about to begin!
Li Jiu didn't want to miss the opportunity to participate in the God of War Competition because of the delay of the mission.
Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up looking for a way to return to the Alliance from Base No. 16...
