Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 814: Chapter 796: Go for Broke

The ten full squads of Void Magic Warriors unleashed a combined volley, using the highly powerful beam machine guns. The result was as devastating as expected.

The Heavenly Ancestor Church’s Void Magic Corps had already advanced close, reducing the distance between the two sides to less than a hundred meters. However, faced with the overwhelmingly fierce suppressive firepower of the beam machine guns, the Heavenly Ancestor Church’s Void Magic Warriors immediately suffered heavy casualties.

Sandro managed to stay calm and waited until the enemy approached within the hundred-meter range before ordering the attack. His reasoning was clear: he knew better than anyone the potency of the beam machine guns. He was also the most experienced warrior on this battlefield, so he understood that they must never let the enemy realize the beam machine guns’ overwhelming firepower too early. Otherwise, the enemy would avoid direct confrontation and opt for dispersed guerrilla tactics. If this happened, the Void Magic Corps’ advantage of intensive firepower and cohesive offensives would be nullified. More importantly, if guerrilla warfare broke out, their side wouldn’t just lose its numerical superiority—they would also be outmatched in individual combat strength. In that situation, the outcome of the battle would be unpredictable.

Considering all this, Sandro waited for the enemy to close in before initiating the attack. In doing so, he ensured that the enemy wouldn’t even have the chance to retreat. Of course, this strategy carried significant risks since, if the beam machine guns proved less effective than anticipated and failed to inflict devastating damage promptly, the formation he commanded could be overrun in an instant, plunging Backhill Village’s Void Magic Corps into a dire crisis.
