From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

Nearly four hundred people stood in formation at the front, and even though many of them did not stand in the correct posture, they still had a powerful and awe-inspiring presence.

These are all my soldiers!

Leo was deeply moved.

He raised his right arm high, his fingers together and pointing forward, and gave them a salute.

Many young people followed his example and returned the greeting.

Leo's gaze slowly swept over everyone, giving each of them the feeling that they were being watched by him.

As he lowered his arms, the pre-battle speech officially began—

"Warriors of the Wings of Freedom, remember this moment, for a great era has begun!"

Those who refuse to succumb to fate have united, determined to dispel the dark clouds that shroud this land! Starting with the destruction of the Chaotic Blade Society and the Night Wanderers, we will reclaim our lost homeland and restore peace and order!

"Oh oh oh!!"

The young man shouted loudly, as if he had gained courage from his powerful speech.

Leo bent his right arm, extending his index and middle fingers straight up, pointing directly at the sky:

"Think about the past—robbers and bandits roamed the roads, like a pack of carrion hyenas lurking around the camps, never missing an opportunity to do evil."

I believe that every family has experienced the tragedy of being robbed by bandits, or even losing members of their clan. But now—”

He raised his voice, making it booming: "This situation is about to change! Only by turning the evildoers into victims can we protect our families!"

“Oooooohh ...

The shouts were deafening. This time, the elders couldn't help but get excited, because what Leo was saying was exactly what they had personally experienced!

"From this moment forward, we will no longer sit idly by and wait to die! We will strike on all fronts, fight bloody battles, and this is not about evil and violence..."

On the contrary, we fight for justice! We fight for freedom!

Now, take up your weapons, follow your comrades, the battle is about to begin, and before victory is achieved, I hope everyone will do their duty!

"For victory, Qun Erjiu Linshan Xiaqi San!"

"For peace!"

"For the wings of freedom!"

Actors planted in the crowd beforehand shouted slogans to stir up the crowd's emotions. At the same time, they subtly concealed Leo's name.

He knew that his relationship with the Wings of Freedom could not be kept secret from those who were interested, but before he was fully prepared and officially took the stage, he could not openly establish contact with this "gang".

Call it burying one's head in the sand or self-deception, it just won't work. Before he has the power to completely overturn the table, he must abide by the rules of the game jointly set by the big companies.

Let's be patient for now.

Leo squeezed his eyes shut for a moment, and when he opened them again, the four armies were already fully prepared to set off.

Chapter 285 Battle of Shijishan, a great victory!

"The Battle of Stone Ridge Mountain has officially begun! Commanders, lead your soldiers to their designated locations and await further instructions!"

Shin-hong issued the command in the encrypted channel.

The four leaders who were in charge of the scene acted swiftly.

Leo stood on the high platform and watched nearly a hundred cars roar out.

Most of them were vehicles he had provided, while a small portion belonged to the wanderers and mercenaries themselves.

The massive convoy emerged from both sides of the camp and quickly split into four smaller convoys. Pure White's plan was to simultaneously strike all the Chaotic Blade Society strongholds surrounding Stone Ridge Mountain.

After the main force left, Leo stepped down from the platform and led the members of the Immortal Squad into the combat command vehicle.

This car is not the one belonging to the Bright family; it was one that he commissioned the old captain to modify.

The satellite antenna on the roof of the carriage gleamed, the interior was brightly lit, and all the electronic equipment looked brand new.

When they entered the carriage, Sasha had already set up the equipment, displaying different surveillance footage on the monitors covering three walls.

These images are from the combat drones that accompanied the vehicle.

Out of caution, Leo equipped each vehicle with two drones as auxiliary equipment.

In fact, when necessary, she can also control the optical prosthetic eye that Chunbai installed herself.

That's why everyone says it's very important to find a reliable prosthetic doctor!

If you really encounter someone like Pure White who has no moral baggage, the prophet "Gary"'s crazy words will come true—your eyes don't just belong to you!

With these mobile surveillance cameras, Leo can stay behind the lines and monitor battlefield information in real time.

His gaze swept across the numerous images, finally finding the vehicles of several commanders.

Unlike leaders who like to say "Go for it!", they each took the lead and drove at the very front of the convoy.

In the screen,

The rolling yellow sand and the sweltering heat distorted the air near the ground.

The roadside plants huddled together, trying their best to avoid the scorching sun.

At this time, it is noon, the hottest and most sunny time of day.

Generally speaking, no one would launch a surprise attack at such a time, because the heat and dryness of the California desert would quickly exhaust the soldiers, and there would be almost no place to hide in the wilderness.

But Leo unusually chose to act at this time.

First, he had absolute confidence in his army, and with superior numbers, equipment, and technical support, he was not worried at all about getting bogged down in a protracted war.

Secondly, it was his personal selfish motive—a righteous army, without any need for concealment, should defeat the enemy head-on!

Shortly afterward, the four units arrived at their designated locations.

Their targets were the Union Railroad Tower, a desert movie set, the Night Wanderers camp on the east side of Edgewood Farm, and Nash's Cave.

The layout of this cave is quite interesting. The west exit leads to the tower, while the east exit is directly north of the stone ridge.

Due to the confined space inside the tunnel, large forces could not maneuver freely, making it a dangerous place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In the game, Panan and V rushed in and wiped out Nash and his gang.

In reality, Thor brought more than fifty people with him, including Mann's team and two other fringewalker teams.

They split into two groups and blocked the cave completely.

Panan, as a reserve member of the Immortal Squad, did not go on the expedition this time, but happened to be in the command vehicle at this moment.

Looking at the familiar cave, her expression was very strange: "Nash... sigh, I delivered goods to him just a couple of days ago."

Leo noticed the name "Nash," and V noticed the keyword "delivery." The two looked at her together.

"What, you still have connections with the Chaotic Blade Society?" Leo glanced at her sideways.

Panan shook his head vigorously: "I don't know those lawless guys well. It's just that Roger has given me a few jobs—to pick up packages from Nash that I don't know what they are and then deliver them to the Sixth Street gang."

Leo recalled the plot and suddenly said, "It's probably drugs or contraband. The city is cracking down hard, but they don't have as many scruples about making drugs in the desert in the eastern suburbs."

"Who cares? I'm only responsible for deliveries anyway. I'm lucky to have work here, so I can't be picky."

"Things will be different from now on; we'll do less of this kind of lousy work."

"A lousy job? Ha, I agree!" Panan laughed. "Just like Roger, a complete scoundrel. Every time I see her, I want to punch that bitch-like face of hers!"

Leo pursed his lips, too embarrassed to tell her—in the story, she was completely outmatched by Roger, like a mouse before a cat.

"Let's save the small talk for later. Keep an eye out, there's something new!"

Sasha's reminder drew their attention back to the screen.

On the east wall, the monitor's display had drastically changed, reverting from 4K high definition to 1080P.

The camera's position is also incorrect; it looks like it's observing the outside from inside the building.

Pure White said in the team channel: "I hacked into the enemy's network system yesterday and now I have control of all electronic devices. If it weren't for giving the recruits a chance, I could have the guard turrets turned around and opened fire, easily killing at least half of the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Sasha immediately tapped her forehead against the table, as if bowing to her. Such superb hacking skills were more than enough to make her her teacher.

Leo instructed, "When the battle begins, turn off the surveillance cameras and turrets, and then open the gate. Those areas will be our outer outposts from now on, so try to minimize losses and don't destroy them."

"Don't worry about it, leave it to me. Let me give you a listen to the Chaotic Blade Society's internal channel; they're really panicking right now!"

Before the words were even finished, chaotic communications were already blaring from the speaker.

A rough male voice: Damn it! The vagrants have gone mad! They've all come out and surrounded the tower! Nash! Get your men out here and help!

Nash: What nonsense are you spouting! The main force of the wanderers is on my side. Of the sentries I left at the cave entrance, three were dead and one was wounded. The survivors who came back said there were more than a dozen vehicles at each of the two exits!

A rough male voice: Impossible! There are at least twenty armored vehicles around the tower. Where did they get so many?! Damn it, whatever, who else is nearby? Dahl, Nene, come and help!

A sharp male voice: My camp is also surrounded, and the leader seems to be Dakota!

Nash: Damn it! We've always kept to ourselves, why is she acting like this?!

A hoarse male voice: The purge order...that damn thing is real!?

The channel suddenly fell silent.

After a while, the frantic cursing suddenly intensified.

Nash: Idiots! People actually believe that stuff! Five thousand euros for ordinary members, ten thousand euros for combat personnel—if anyone actually offers that price, I'll cut your heads off and collect the reward!

A rough male voice: It's no use saying anything now. Take out the turrets and mines. The enemy's main force is the Wanderers. Kill some of them and they'll retreat on their own!

The so-called Chaotic Knife Society was a dangerous gang composed of people exiled from the Wanderers' Union. Since they themselves were from wandering backgrounds, they were naturally very familiar with wanderers.

The most important rules of the wanderers are all based on protecting their families. As long as they suffer a little, they will back down on their own!

The decision itself was correct, but unfortunately they misjudged the combat capabilities of both sides.

"Army attack!"

At Chunbai's command, the four units launched a simultaneous attack.

At the same time, the Luan Dao Hui stronghold also took action—the surveillance cameras stopped working, the turrets were disconnected, all the automatic doors opened, and the vehicles were locked. Everything happened simultaneously, as if the two sides had agreed on it.

Unfortunately, the leaders of the Chaotic Blade Society did not like this tacit understanding.

"I'll f*** you!"

A string of profanities came from the loudspeaker; judging from the voice, it must have been the leader of the tower.

"The enemy has hackers! What are our hackers doing!?"

What can you do... just die quietly.

Seeing their own hacker die peacefully in the control room, the leaders' hearts sank to the bottom.

Boom boom——

The roar of engines echoed across the wilderness.

The Wings of Liberty recruits didn't even get off the vehicles; they sat in the vehicles moving at a constant speed, pouring fire at the enemy stronghold through the windows that were only slightly lowered.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

The angle was wrong, the distance was wrong, and with the defenders having ample cover, the members of the Chaotic Blade Society wouldn't have taken such an attack seriously.

until--

The bullets veered off course and brushed against them, riddling them with holes amidst their screams.

"grass!!!"

"Smart weapons! Where did they get so many smart weapons—"

Before the burly man from the Chaotic Blade Society could finish speaking, a bullet cleverly slipped into his mouth.

His entire body was covered with a large area of ​​subcutaneous armor, but there was clearly none in his throat.

In an instant, the bullet emerged from the back of his head.

The henchman watched helplessly as his boss's head slowly exploded. Then, the small amount of brain tissue and various cybernetic parts protecting the skull clattered and scattered all over the ground.

His inferior prosthetic eye trembled violently, its red light flickering erratically as if there was a malfunction.

But the next second, he no longer needed to worry about the state of his prosthetic eye—bullets that came accurately from all directions tore him into real pieces.

Inside the Luan Dao Hui camp, the hand-cranked alarm rang in vain, and the guards scattered around the perimeter were no longer able to respond to the order to "retreat indoors."

Bullets flying everywhere!
