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.”
