Chapter 617 Ways to Break the Stalemate

“I can’t kill them. I can’t lock onto the target. This is the only vantage point. However, it is too far away,

exceeding the limit of sniper rifles. The speed of the Red Elite Ghost and above is too fast. I can’t aim

at them at all.” Claude seemed vexed.

He was angry at his incompetence.

He was not a fighter. In small missions, he could become a killing weapon thanks to his ability as a

sniper, something that he had always been proud of.

However, his weakness was exposed in a large-scale war like this.

If the war was in the mountains, it would be fine. Claude could choose a spot at a height at worst.

However, his weakness was too huge to be overcome, as there was no high ground.

“Can you help the boss? Just kill a Gold Elite Ghost and break their formation,” Kristen said.

Claude turned around and looked in the direction of Gerald and the Gold Elite Ghost. “Close to 1.5

miles, the maximum range of the sniper rifle. The target is a Gold Elite Ghost. I’m not sure I can do

it.”

The six Gold Elite Ghosts seemed to be whole, with unified action. Gerald suspected that they had

been programmed. This degree of unity was just amazing.

“Plus, Boss is moving so fast that I can’t aim. I don’t want to accidentally hurt the boss,” Claude

said.

Kristen threw a large box of bullets to the side and said, “But we can’t wait without doing anything. Let’s

kill some Blue Elite Ghosts first and ease the pressure on the ordinary teams. The Blue Elite Ghosts

are using a joint attack. The Watchmen have suffered heavy losses.”

The Gold Elite Ghosts formed groups of six, Blue Elite Ghosts had groups of ten, and Red Elite Ghosts

created groups of three.

They had a 40% chance of winning when the ghosts were fighting separately. The rate plummeted

when the ghosts had a joint attack formation. The Watchmen could not kill the Red Elite Ghosts in

a short period.

The super formation of Blue Elite Ghosts, on the contrary, allowed them to have a landslide victory.

The smell of blood filled the air. The members of the ordinary teams collapsed one by one, but

soldiers alive filled in their vacancy and rushed forward in succession.

This was what war was like. A bitter, brutal war.

When the camera filmed the battle, most ordinary people did not dare to watch the bloody scene.

They only saw wars in movies. The real war was orders of magnitude crueler than in movies. The plain

was a meat grinder, bloody and terrifying.

The Watchmen were fighting to protect the Earth and the ordinary people on it.

Zackary and Jacob stood together on the home front and watched it, frowning.

They couldn’t participate in the battle and could only monitor the war through a screen. Jacob said,

“These elite ghosts have command. I’m afraid we are at a disadvantage.”

Zackary said with a faint smile, “There are two ways to break the stalemate. One is Gerald, and the

other is Blaine.”

Jacob was confused. “Huh?”

Zackary said, “The balance needs to be broken. Now I only hope that Gerald can deal with the Gold

Elite Ghosts. With his current ability, he can kill the Red Elite Ghosts instantly. If he kills the Gold Elite

Ghost, the red ones will go to the battlefield, changing everything. If he can’t break the stalemate, we

can only rely on Blaine and his saber.”

Jacob frowned. “Well…”

On the front battlefield, Gerald was fighting while watching everything around him. Looking at the

Watchmen who were collapsing one after another, Gerald felt his heart was bleeding.

He gritted his teeth and held the remaining Dragon Bones in his hand, hoping to absorb them all and

boost his strength during the fighting. If Gerald could be stronger after absorbing five Dragon Bones,

perhaps he could replace Blaine.

Up until now, Gerald still had not given up on this idea. He did not want Blaine to die. He wanted to

replace Blaine and slash out with his saber, so that Blaine, a guy who liked to ridicule Gerald, would

live on.

However, Gerald was ambushed by six Golden Elite Ghosts.

He did not dare to use Death Storm.

Death Storm could increase his momentum, but it only lasted fifteen minutes. If he did not finish

off all six Gold Elite Ghosts in fifteen minutes and one of them survived, it would be a huge blow to

the Watchmen.

Gerald could not gamble with the fate of humanity.

But It was unrealistic for him to finish off six Gold Elite Ghosts in a split second.

Gerald was waiting for an opportunity. If Claude broke the balance and killed or wounded a Gold Elite

Ghost, everything might turn for the better.

At this time, Gerald was quietly approaching the high ground where Claude was.

Above the high ground, Claude was firing at the Blue Elite Ghosts, when he found that he could not kill

the Gold and Red Elite Ghosts. In a few minutes, he had killed more than ten Blue Elite Ghosts.

“Claude, Boss is getting closer to our position,” Just as Claude was killing ghosts with his sniper,

Kristen suddenly said.

Claude turned his head and saw the place where Gerald was fighting the Gold Elite Ghosts in the

distance. He slowly exhaled and said, “Boss wants me to break the stalemate.”

“The distance was around 1 mile, within the shooting range of your sniper,” Kristen said.

Claude nodded and turned around, aiming his sniper at the place where six Gold Elite Ghosts and

Gerald fought. Claude held his breath, looking for an opportunity.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

In the surroundings, shouts and screams resounded loudly. Claude watched the camera and only saw

some shadows flashing in it. It was still too difficult to aim the ghosts.

“How is it?” Kristen asked.

Claude did not answer him. Kristen did not push him to answer. She just waited.

Claude closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. After a moment, he opened his eyes again, which

were extremely clear now.
