The new force surrounded us tightly. Their weapons glinted coldly in the sun, creating an invisible sense of pressure. The leader of the other side rode on a mechanical warhorse, looking down at us with disdain in his eyes. "With just a handful of you, you still want to compete with me for the energy source? You're simply overestimating yourselves," he said arrogantly.
I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm myself down. "We won't give up easily for the future of the wasteland world," I replied firmly.
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless." The leader of the other side waved his hand, and his troops immediately launched an attack on us. In an instant, a hail of bullets rained down on us again, and we were plunged into an even more difficult situation.
"Everyone, disperse and take cover. Look for opportunities to counter - attack," I shouted loudly. The team members quickly followed my order, using the surrounding ruins and obstacles as cover to dodge the enemy's attacks.
However, the new force was obviously stronger than the previous one. Their attacks were more fierce and accurate. Our defense line was gradually compressed, and many team members were injured.
"Captain, we won't last long like this," an injured team member said anxiously.
I looked at the situation around me, extremely anxious. Suddenly, I noticed that some people in the enemy's troops were in charge of operating large - scale siege weapons. "Lynn, lead a group of people to destroy their siege weapons. This can weaken their attack strength," I said.
Lynn nodded and led a group of team members to sneak towards the siege weapons quietly. At the same time, I led the remaining team members to continue to fight the enemy head - on.
The battle was extremely fierce, and our team members fought with all their might. But there were too many enemies, and we couldn't break through their encirclement. Just when we were feeling desperate, good news came from Lynn.
"Captain, we've successfully destroyed some of their siege weapons," Lynn said through the communicator.
I was overjoyed. "Good. Everyone, increase the attack intensity now." After hearing this news, the team members' morale was greatly boosted, and they attacked the enemy even more fiercely.
Under our attack, the enemy's offensive finally slowed down. But the leader of the other side didn't seem willing to admit defeat. He took out a new weapon. It was a huge energy cannon, which looked extremely powerful.
"Bad. Everyone, find cover quickly," I shouted. The team members quickly looked for shelters to avoid the attack of the energy cannon.
The energy cannon fired a huge energy beam, instantly blowing the surrounding ruins to pieces. Some of our team members were seriously injured because they couldn't dodge in time.
"Captain, this energy cannon is too powerful. How can we deal with it?" a team member asked anxiously.
I thought for a moment. "Everyone, concentrate your fire on the energy source of the energy cannon. As long as we destroy the energy source, it won't be able to fire."
The team members obeyed the order and concentrated their fire on the energy source of the energy cannon. But the energy source of the energy cannon had a strong protective layer, and our attacks could hardly cause any damage to it.
"This won't work. We have to think of another way," I said. Just then, I suddenly remembered some high - tech equipment we had captured from the castle before. "Lynn, see if there's any equipment among what we captured that can interfere with the energy cannon," I said.
Lynn quickly checked the equipment. "Captain, there's a jammer that might work." Then, he took out the jammer and started to operate it.
The jammer emitted a strong interference wave, and there were some abnormalities in the firing of the energy cannon. "Good. Keep increasing the interference intensity," I shouted.
Under the interference of the jammer, the energy cannon finally couldn't fire normally. "Everyone, now, attack the enemy with all your might," I gave the order.
The team members rushed towards the enemy like tigers and launched their final counter - attack. Under our fierce attack, the enemy's defense line began to collapse. Seeing that the situation was bad, the leader of the other side wanted to start the mechanical warhorse and escape.
"Want to run? It's not that easy." I picked up a sniper rifle and aimed at the power system of the mechanical warhorse. With a gunshot, the power system of the mechanical warhorse was hit and couldn't move anymore.
The leader of the other side fell off the mechanical warhorse and looked at us in horror. "You... Who on earth are you?" he asked fearfully.
I walked up to him and said coldly, "We are the ones fighting for the future of the wasteland world. Now, the energy source belongs to us."
After this fierce battle, we finally succeeded in protecting the energy source. The team members all cheered. Although everyone was injured to different degrees, it was all worth it for the future of the wasteland world.
"Captain, what should we do next?" a team member asked.
I looked at the energy source that emitted a mysterious light and said, "First, we'll take the energy source back to the castle and let the researchers study how to use it reasonably. Then, we have to prepare for the rebirth of the wasteland world."
So, we carried the energy source and embarked on the journey back to the castle. Although there would still be many unknown dangers along the way, we believed that with this energy source, the wasteland world would surely come new hope.
