Chapter 553, Blood Shark Slaughtering Torch
The Shura-like scene before him made Wang Mengsong feel uncomfortable.

He personally gathered two hundred Space Marines, divided them into two teams, and launched a targeted encirclement and suppression of the blood sharks that had approached the core engine area of ​​the Torchlight.

According to the current reports received, the number of blood sharks in this area is estimated to be between 50 and 100.

Our team of 200 people should be able to form a clear numerical advantage.

One hundred soldiers, led by Wang Mengsong himself, followed behind the enemy lines; another hundred were stationed on the road leading to the core engine compartment to block the enemy.

When the blood shark is blocked by the hundred torch fighters stationed there, Wang Mengsong's team will arrive soon. By then, attacking from both sides, won't they be able to annihilate the enemy?
Wang Mengsong didn't think this would be a problem, especially since the group of blood sharks were heading straight for the target location without any sign of turning around. They would definitely be ignited by the torches and burned to ashes.

What he was thinking about was how to mobilize troops and concentrate on extinguishing the other few areas after getting rid of this group of blood sharks.

However, when he actually arrived at the scene, his thoughts were quickly pulled back by the smell of blood in his nose and the cruel scenes that filled his eyes.

Although the Space Marines of the New World Torch had just started, the battle had actually already broken out. The mortal auxiliary troops stationed in various parts of the ship were the first wave of units to engage the Blood Sharks.

The Chapter's mortal auxiliary forces are not weak, at least at the level of the Astra Militarum. The direct troops trained directly by the Space Marines may be even stronger, reaching the level of the well-known Astra Militarum. There are also some more elite ones. For example, the elimination rate in the training process of Space Marines is very high.

Those who were eliminated, as former Space Marine candidates, even if they did not meet the requirements of Space Marines, were still the best among mortals, one in a million.

Not to mention, many of them were eliminated not because they were not good enough, but simply because the genetic seed adaptability was not enough after testing, or they were over the age limit when waiting in line for seeds.

They will not be wasted, but will be added to the ranks of the mortal auxiliary army. Even wealthy regiments will equip them with feedback power armor.

They are not as powerful as Space Marines, but they are also top-notch among conventional troops.

New World Torch naturally has such personnel reserves, and with the support of Tiekai, New World Torch is not a rich group, but it is not a poor group either. The equipment of these elites in the auxiliary army is not too bad.

These troops are particularly abundant on the flagship Torchlight.

Even if these elite troops cannot withstand the impact of the blood sharks, they should be able to cause some trouble and delay.

But it seems that the effect in this regard is not great.

What’s worse is that the broken bodies on the ground, mixed with armor and gushing blood, are heart-wrenching.

Wang Mengsong immediately recalled the characteristics of the blood shark mentioned in the document.

Seeing is better than hearing.

Whoever sees it trembles in his heart.

He couldn't help but ask himself, could his own regiment do what the Blood Shark did?

It should...it should be possible, right?
That is, our own regiment would not make the situation so ugly like the Blood Shark did.

The New World Torch, whose bloodline is inherited from the Infinite Chapter, is one of those chapters that are very straight-forward and nothing strange about them. They have always been proud of this - although now the parent chapter is on the way to beat them up.

Because of the tragic scene he witnessed, many chaotic thoughts came into his mind. However, he was brought back to reality by the fierce gunfire, explosions, and even the loud and tragic screams of Space Marines before their death from a distance.

The battle has begun.

The company of a hundred men that was blocking the blood sharks in front should have already started fighting with the group of blood sharks.

Originally, Wang Mengsong was full of confidence. Even if the people he brought were not present, relying solely on the blocking troops in front, he should be able to defeat the enemy, or at least be able to resist the attack of the blood shark.

Even though the Blood Shark Regiment had shown itself to the world last time and had achieved brilliant results, Wang Mengsong had to admit that the Blood Shark Regiment's individual combat capability might indeed be "slightly" stronger than their New World Torch.

But after all, this group of blood sharks is only about 50 to 100 people. The New World Torch that intercepted them also has people, which is likely to be more than the other side. Even if they can't win, it should be okay to stop them for a longer time, right?

But now... he still felt quite confident. As for him asking the team to speed up, it was definitely not because he felt guilty!
The New World Torches, who were accelerating forward, were all more or less anxious.

From the sound, it was hard to tell who had the upper hand, but at least the fight was very intense. They were eager to reach the battlefield and support their fighting brothers.

However, haste makes waste.

Their overly anxious mentality made their formation a little loose.

This laid the seeds of disaster.

When they passed through a narrow passage that was very close to the battlefield, the partition walls on both sides were suddenly blown open.

New World Torch, which was in an anxious state of mind, was unable to detect the situation in advance.

Of course, as space warriors, their reactions were still very fast. It was not realistic to cause serious casualties to them with a simple bomb trap that was not powerful enough.

However, at the moment when their formation became more scattered because of the explosion, more than a dozen blood sharks silently rushed into their midst as the explosion occurred!

These silent warriors are wearing silver-gray breastplates, leg armor and helmets, with dark gray shoulders and a blood-red shark pattern on their helmets. Some of them hold double axes, and some hold giant axes; there are power weapons and chainsaw weapons among them.

They seemed to have a special preference for axes. Among the dozen or so people, most of them were holding axes. Only a few were equipped with power swords or long-handled halberds.

They are unquestionable masters of close combat and brutal massacres.

In an instant, they caused terrible casualties and set off a bloody storm among the crowd of New World Torch.

Wang Mengsong saw with his own eyes that in the chaos of his own team that was attacked, broken limbs flew everywhere in an instant, and he even saw three heads flying up.

This scene made him feel painful and angry!
After a blood shark cut off the arm of a New World Torch, it followed up with a torrential rain of attacks. In a moment, it had already dealt several heavy blows to the opponent's chest armor, leg armor, and helmet, almost ensuring that the opponent had no ability to resist and would be seriously injured if not dead.

However, the blood shark had no intention of stopping, as if it would not stop until it chopped off a few more pieces of the body.

"Enough!" With a loud shout, Wang Mengsong rushed quickly to the back of the blood shark.

Blood Shark turned his head and stared at the Torch Captain with scarlet eyes, slashing at him with his double axes without stopping.

As the warband leader, Wang Mengsong's strength level is naturally not bad. He holds a flaming long-handled war hammer - this is the sacred object of the New World Torch, and it is also a weapon that only the warband leader can wield.

The two weapons came into contact, and the heavy force made the blood shark warrior completely unable to withstand it, and was directly knocked off balance. The flames suddenly expanded in an instant, and enveloped the blood shark in the next moment.

After a loud bang, the flames gradually dissipated.

The blood shark was already lying on the ground, and the flaming long-handled war hammer was being raised from his sunken chest.

Wang Mengsong, who was furious, did not stop for a moment and immediately ran towards the next blood shark. Then, within three or four moves, he knocked the second one to the ground.

Next, comes the third one.

The remaining blood sharks were quickly killed.

There were 29 bodies lying on the ground, 12 of which were Blood Sharks, and the remaining 17 incomplete bodies were brass and orange-red painted warriors of the New World Torch.

Looking at this ratio, it seems that there is not much difference between the two sides, and Xinshi Torch was still the one that was bombed and attacked.

However, the gap in manpower between the two sides is ten times!
There were only 12 Blood Sharks in the raid. Although none of them survived, before they were all killed, they still chopped down more New World Torches than themselves in the face of ten times their number and a champion-level warrior like Wang Mengsong!

This is enough to demonstrate their strong fighting ability.

In addition, the blood sharks also achieved their goal. They hindered Wang Mengsong's team for a long time.

Wang Mengsong also understood this.

Without time to express any emotion, he left a few men behind to take care of the wounded, and took the remaining seventy people to the battlefield which was not far away.

When he arrived at the scene, he found that the battle situation had become quite bad.

The number of blood sharks did not exceed expectations. Wang Mengsong took a quick glance and roughly judged that there were about sixty blood sharks in total, and forty of them were still alive; but the bad thing was that the New World Torchmen who were responsible for blocking them here, which originally had one hundred people, now only had sixty left.

Despite having superior forces against the enemy, they were still defeated at a one-to-two exchange ratio.

It was difficult for Wang Mengsong to tell whether he should be shocked and angry at the enemy's strength, or hate the incompetence of his own people.

The gap in strength between the two sides is indeed obvious.

But that wasn't the only thing that made him uncomfortable.

He also saw a Blood Shark Squad leaving the blockade.

They have disrupted the line of the Torch Company that was responsible for blocking the enemy. The main force is here to drag the people of the New World Torch, but they still have time to send out a small team to go out and do the work.

What were they going to do?

Don't worry about the port. There is no doubt that they are going to blow up the core power cabin.

Wang Mengsong immediately gave orders and sent people to chase them, but two blood sharks tried to stop the pursuit.

The Torch Leader roared in anger and rushed forward himself. At the cost of being hit by an axe, he hammered to death the two blood sharks that blocked his way.

There are three Blood Sharks going to blow up the engine compartment, and the New World Torch's pursuit team has ten people, one of whom is a company commander, and there are two company champions among them. They should... should be able to stop them, right?
There was no time to think, he was already in the battle himself.

With him and the sixty men he led joining the battlefield, the military advantage became even more obvious.

In the end, they won the victory, killing nearly thirty blood sharks at the cost of about twenty casualties.

After the battle, Wang Mengsong took off his helmet.

He was gasping for breath, his head covered in blood.

During the entire battle, he killed a total of nine blood sharks.

However, he also paid a heavy price.

His helmet was chopped to pieces, and there were two deep scars on his skull, which was bleeding continuously; his left hand was a little limp, because when he had to use his elbow to block a blow, the bone was broken, and his left arm was only supported by a layer of skin and armor, and it drooped to the side.

If Wang Mengsong had not rushed into the pile of blood sharks himself, he would not have ended up like this.

Each Blood Shark has a very strong individual level. What's more, among the two he killed, there were two company champions who even reached the level of company commander.

If he had not led the charge, victory might have been achieved, but the loss of his own side would most likely not have been twenty, but perhaps ten more.

But he couldn't take care of his own injuries or the casualties of his team for the time being.

He called anxiously into the communicator, calling on the team to go and stop the enemy from blowing up the power cabin.

He hoped for good news.

However, there was silence on the other end of the communicator.

He already had a bad premonition in his heart.

But since there was no explosion, is it possible that they were just fighting hard and had no time to connect...

"boom!"

The violent explosion interrupted Wang Mengsong's thoughts.

He and the New World Torches around him were blown away one after another.

The core engine compartment exploded.

He fell heavily to the ground, and more than ten seconds later, Wang Mengsong struggled to get up.

What came into view was a sea of ​​fire.

……

The explosion in the core engine compartment did not directly destroy the Torchlight, nor did it kill Wang Mengsong and the more than 100 soldiers he led.

However, this does not mean that the Torchlight will survive.

After the core engine was destroyed, the power of the entire warship instantly dropped to a terrifying level, almost to the point where it could not move.

At the same time, because the energy output dropped instantly, the ship's void shield was affected and suddenly disappeared.

Of course, the Torchlight still has multiple secondary energy engines. If there is no combat pressure, it can use a slower speed, or simply be towed away by other ships and returned to the factory for repairs, and it may be saved.

But now, how can we give it this opportunity?

The Blood Shark Fleet, which was originally attacking the Fire of Triumph, suddenly turned its guns and fired at the Torch Light.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Be sure to blow it up!

The alliance ships also shifted their targets and opened fire.

In the end, the Torchlight battle barge, a flagship of a chapter that was equivalent to a battleship, was blown into a piece of space junk.

At the same time, the Triumphal Fire also retreated.

We are no longer able to defeat the enemy in this battle.

The sudden appearance of the Blood Shark Group was a bit too powerful.

Not to mention being boarded again, even in a naval battle, without a combat barge, the balance of victory is no longer on our side.

Paulitos decisively chose to leave.

After retreating and struggling all the way, he finally managed to hold on until he met up with his own battleship which had completed the jump and arrived in this galaxy.

The Alliance Fleet and the Blood Shark Fleet did not continue chasing.

However, Paulitos could sense a strong smell of blood surrounding his fleet. The man-eating sharks that smelled the smell had no intention of leaving.

The threat currently faced by the Fury Fleet has not yet been resolved.
