1005 Words
"Attack!"
"Charge!"
Both sides showed no mercy and collided violently. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere!
The Azure!
Big Four corporations!
Neither side could afford to lose this battle!
From the outset, the fight escalated into a frenzy, with both sides becoming bloodthirsty.
Swinging their weapons fiercely—machetes, clubs, and more—they fought viciously. Screams echoed incessantly, and Tim's expression grew increasingly grim.
Despite the superior skills of Azure members, the sheer numbers of Big Four Corporations overwhelmed them. Numerous ants could indeed kill an elephant. The vast numerical difference caused Azure members to fall one after another into pools of blood.
Tim had calculated that the Big Four Corporations, after dealing with scattered opposition, wouldn't have many troops left. He planned to lead his three thousand elite fighters to wipe out their forces.
But unexpectedly, his troops were not only slain, but he also found himself surrounded here.
Mr. Grey looked worried. "Mr. Wright, we need to retreat now! Otherwise, the losses will be catastrophic!"
Tim's expression fluctuated. He had come in with such momentum; retreating like this was hard to accept!
Moreover, if this battle failed, Azure's reputation in Nacehope City would be ruined.
Gritting his teeth, Tim said, "Just a little longer!"
Mr. Grey hesitated but said nothing.
The battle continued and grew even more intense.
The ground was stained red with blood, as members from both sides fell one after another into the pools of blood.
Both sides had gone completely mad.
"We have to end this battle quickly! If the Azure reinforcements arrive, we're done for!"
"Exactly! It's the top gang in Nacehope City and deeply rooted here. We can't compare to them!"
"It looks like we have to play our trump cards!"
Stan and others saw the situation deadlock and shouted loudly.
Sebastian squinted. "Since that's the case, let's not hold back. Let's show all our cards!"
Upon hearing this, the other three nodded. At this point, they couldn't afford any hesitation. If they didn't destroy Azure today, their own downfall awaited them!
"Attack!"
The four shouted simultaneously.
Figures appeared all around, numbering over a hundred.
Their faces were masked; their eyes were icy cold. And each of them carried a long sword and emitted a terrifying aura.
Every single one of them was a top professionally-trained fighter cultivated for years by the Big Four Corporations. They were simply brought out in the most critical moment!
"Attack!" A loud shout rang out as hundreds of these elite fighters charged toward the Azure members. Their strikes were ruthless and lethal!
Already at a numerical disadvantage, facing over a hundred elite fighters was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Azure members.
In less than ten minutes, they were decisively defeated.
Seeing the Azure members on the verge of collapse, Mr. Grey's face was filled with urgency. "Mr. Wright, we can't wait any longer. We must retreat immediately, or else our three thousand elites will all perish here tonight!"
Tim painfully closed his eyes. Though reluctant, he had no choice.
These three thousand were the cream of the Azure, and he couldn't afford to lose them!
Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes and roared, "Withdraw!"
With those words, Tim began to retreat under Mr. Grey's cover.
At the same time, the Azure members retreated frantically like a tide.
Upon seeing this, the four chairmen shouted, "Chase them down! Don't let them escape!"
"Kill!" The people from the Big Four Corporations saw their chance and charged madly after the Azure members.
On the rooftop of a distant building,
"My lord, Tim is retreating. Should I go intercept him?" Galahad asked.
Vincent shook his head. "No need! I still have use for Tim. Otherwise, how can I let them tear each other apart?"
From start to finish, Vincent watched the battle unfold.
He did not intervene, even though eliminating Tim would have been easy for him.
But Vincent's target wasn't just Tim; he aimed to completely wipe out the underworld of Nacehope City. The reason he hadn't deployed his army or the Round Table was that Nacehope City was the national economic center and couldn't withstand large-scale devastation. If a nationwide economic crisis were triggered, the cost would outweigh the benefits. Only by letting them wear each other down could he reap the benefits without lifting a finger!
Vincent said calmly, "Tell Benson that their Brotherhood should take action."
"Yes!" Galahad nodded and immediately withdrew.
Vincent looked up at the dark sky.
Tonight would be the day of Azure's destruction!
***
At the Azure Headquarters.
Tim and the others returned in a sorry state.
In this battle, they suffered heavy losses. Of the three thousand elite members, less than a thousand made it back.
As for those sent to attack the Big Four Corporations' territories, almost all died. After this battle, the Azure was severely damaged.
Mr. Grey asked anxiously, "Mr.Wright, what should we do now?"
Bang! Tim slammed the table hard, causing the solid wood to splinter into pieces.
"It's all a conspiracy! It must be Vincent, it has to be!" he roared.
Tonight, the Azure suffered heavy casualties, and Tim refused to believe it wasn't Vincent's scheme.
When did the Big Four Corporations become this powerful? It's definitely Vincent backing them up.
If not for Vincent supporting the Big Four Corporations, they would have been wiped out tonight!"
Mr. Grey sighed lightly, "Mr. Wright, we have suffered heavy losses. We need to come up with a plan soon, or the Azure's gonna in deep trouble!"
Frowning, Tim understood the urgency. After a moment's thought, he instructed, "Immediately order everyone to retreat and raise our defense to the highest level!"
"Yes!" Just as Mr. Grey was about to leave, a panicked Azure member rushed in.
"Mr. Wright, something serious! The Big Four Corporations, together with the Brotherhood, are attacking our headquarters!"
"What?" Tim and Mr. Grey exchanged alarmed looks.
Tim immediately shouted, "Quick, mobilize all forces to resist them! Don't let them breach our defenses!"
