Chapter 591 - 590: Finally taking action against the Sun Base 7
They were clearly stronger, but because of the numbers of the other side and their insidious tactics, they couldn't finish their fights immediately.Their opponents clearly didn't have any intention of letting them off alive, as all of them were targeting their vitals every time they attacked.
And knowing that they had the advantage in terms of numbers, their opponents quickly started working together to attack them.
So, they had to be busy avoiding those attacks and making shields to avoid all the bullets that were being fired at them.
He was mostly using his metal ability to make a thick metal cover that could cover him and a few others behind him. As for the others, they were also using their abilities to block those bullets, like Zam making thick ice sheets as shields.
As for the others whose abilities couldn't erect a shield for themselves, they were working together with others who had them, like Jacob who was behind him.
While holding onto their shields, they also continued attacking those that were trying to surround them using their abilities or weapons.
Even though a lot of people wanted to deal with them, they still succeeded in moving forward and reached the place where the leaders of the Sun Base were currently at. Just as expected, a lot of people were really gathered around them, and most of those people were the strongest in the Sun Base.
And just like Zam mentioned in his report, most of the people around were really wanted criminals and those that had escaped from prison.
They were even more ruthless than the people that they had just dealt with because as soon as they had realized that he and the others wouldn't kill those so-called slaves and that they wouldn't kill their opponents unless there's no choice, they became even harder to deal with because of their upgraded tricks.
Some of them deliberately go to where the slaves were and mix with them or just directly hold someone as a cover while fighting them, which forced them not to use most of their lethal moves against them.
Their opponents obviously already found their limits, so he stopped Jacob when he asked if they could use the poison bombs that he had because it would just be a waste.
The others have enough wind users who could disperse the bombs in their areas, so it would only affect those so-called slaves that were still around.
Jacob only had a few of those bombs to begin with, so it's better to just save them for later use as they're still very effective when dealing with other people.
Since those people wanted to act more ruthless, Treyton also ordered the others to act more ruthless. In the past few minutes of their confrontation, Treyton and the others didn't deal with their opponents in a way to knock them out as soon as possible.
Of course, since there were a lot of people, it's inevitable that they managed to give serious wounds to their opponents as well as already killed a few because they had no choice but to do it, because they'll be the ones injured or dead if they didn't do it. Still, they did a good job in what they did and mostly knocked their opponents out.
They still wanted to be more careful because they weren't sure if all their opponents were really that heinous, so they didn't want to act too ruthless before they learned more about them.
Treyton had already read the reports of Zam and the others and knew that most of them were really criminals, but just in case someone had mixed in, they didn't act too ruthless and were still knocking them out and then dealing with them later on according to their circumstances.
However, the ones in front of them got more crooked, so he also told the members to deal with those people more ruthlessly.
So afterwards, he and the others didn't mind cutting off the hands or feet of some of their opponents as long as they could subdue them earlier and get close to the core of the leaders who had been hiding at the very back.
Those three were obviously unwilling to confront them immediately and were still being hidden by their subordinates while they're still analyzing their combat strengths and weaknesses.
Those people were also using a lot of those so-called slaves to block themselves, so Treyton and his team members couldn't attack them immediately even though they knew their location.
But they were obviously stronger than the subordinates that those leaders have, so they'll be able to reach those people after a few more minutes of fighting.
So, after ordering the other members that they could be more ruthless, Treyton also stopped just using a small amount of lightning coated by metal or metal coated with a small amount of lightning.
The next bullets that he used could quickly damage those that come into contact with them. The other members also followed his orders, so after a while, there were a lot of shouts and loud curses because of those that lost something.
Because of what they did, even though their opponents' attack further intensified and even though they tried using more tricks such as pushing their own members forward, Treyton and his members still managed to deal with more people as their efficiency also increased. So, just like he said, after only a few minutes, the blockade in front of them had thinned considerably and they were already very near the base leaders.
Treyton could already see them properly, so he didn't hesitate to attack them as soon as he found a gap amidst the people that they were using as their shields.
However, just as he was about to unleash his attack, the base leader also made his move and targeted him quickly. The base leader certainly knew that he was the one leading everyone, so he got targeted as soon as they took action because without him, it would be easier to deal with the others.
