[Radio: T1, this is T3. We have cleared the enemy's location. We are now heading to out of our location over]

[Radio: Alright T3, regroup back to the alley and remove the bodies from the road. Make sure no one will see the bodies. It can blow our cover. Over and out]

Jin turned around and looked at the 2 support gunners that were behind him. And signal them to wait as he raised his two fingers and then tapped his comms that were around his neck.

[Radio: T2, you are clear to use lethal arrows on my command]

[Radio: Copy that T1 ready as always, over and out]

"Alright, you two, once their machine gunner is dead, you may open fire on the enemy position with a suppressive fire at the enemy checkpoint direction. Make sure they will be pinned down to their position as heavily as you guys can," Jin ordered with a serious tone of voice. The two support gunners, Red Blood Armored Knight, nodded.

Jin once again tapped the comms that were on his neck. [Radio: Engage, Engage] and Qi Meili know that was her signal to let loose of the arrows. So she whispered "Penetrating arrow" after she said that the arrow suddenly let out an orange glow.

She sigh and let loose of the arrow. After the arrow fired from the bow, and flies through mid air. The arrow change aura and became red orange.

With it, the force that was engulfing the arrow became stronger and compressed. And when it pierces through the flesh of the unexpecting machine gun gunner.

The entire place exploded *BOOM* after the explosion followed the fiery flames that raised through the air and made the other who got exploded from the impact burned their skins.

That moment the whole check point in disarray. Jin then ordered the two support gunners and move into their position and fire a suppressive burst on the enemy forces. When they got into position, they quickly pulled the trigger and then their machine gun fired relentlessly at the checkpoint position.

From afar, they could hear the scream and the cry for help when they bullet hits the bodies of the enemy soldiers. The Red Blood Armored Knight got no precise visual, but they saw some silhouettes behind the fiery flames. And because of that, they killed 10 Lion pride soldiers and 2 Lion Pride officers.

Fang Shirong also moves in as he whispered 'Deceive" and 4 of his clones appeared behind him as it materializes after saying the ability and skill. "Clone 2 and 3 attack. Always make it clean. Clone 4 and 5 attack from above and kill them with pleasure" the clones nodded and leaps at the end of the roof and down to the ground. Clone 2 landed behind a Lion pride soldier who was about to be raise his rifle and pulled the trigger.

But luckily, Clone 2 stabbed the Lion pride soldier deep through his neck. And then a follow up slitting the Lion Pride soldier's neck. The Lion Pride soldier dropped on the ground.

Clone 3 landed on top of an APC, and then jump onto 2 Lion pride soldiers that were rushing towards the checkpoint. And when Clone 3 landed in front of the two lion pride soldiers.

Clone 3 looked at them and dashed forward, slitting the throat of the left Lion pride soldier. After that, he kicked the Right Lion pride soldier on the chest. Making the right Lion pride soldier stumble on the ground.

Now he turned back to the left lion pride soldier. After slitting the throat, he then stabbed its left chest, twist his dual daggers so the flesh will twist and will bleed more of the wound of the Lion pride soldier.

After that he pulled out the dual daggers from the wound and looked back to the Lion pride soldier that stumble on the ground and was about to run and but Clone 3 saw that so he threw the dual daggers onto the back of the Lion pride officer and it embedded cleanly as the blade of the dagger gets deeper into the flesh.

The Lion pride soldier dropped to the ground as the force impact of the dual daggers. Clone 3 walked towards the dead Lion pride soldier and regroup with clone 2.

Clone 4 landed near the fire outside of the gate. There he sees a lion pride officer hiding because of the bullets firing over head. Clone 4 smiled and throws his left dagger at the forehead of the Lion Pride officer.

The dagger precisely hits the forehead which embedded into the skull. Clone 4 crouched as he too wants to avoid the bullets flying. He pulled the dagger on the forehead and it bleeds rapidly upon removal of the blade.

Jin tapped his comms and ordered.

[Radio: All units moved forward. I repeat, all units move forward. Support gunners are now in limited firing over]

[Radio: Copy that Squad leader]

And after that, the entire group moved forward. Leading them at the front was Jin, while Qi Meili from above was helping the Fang Shirong clones that were wrecking havoc inside the compound check point.

Clone 5 landed inside on top of an APC. After landing on top of an APC, he saw a Lion pride officer giving out command on 3 Lion pride officer that were on the ground and heading towards the gate. Clone 5 whispered "Claw Blades" and from his knuckles claw blades appeared with an orange glow,

"Alright we shall play some killing the Lions" after that clone 5 dashed forward. He first throws the left dagger on the neck of the Lion Pride officer, then throws the right dagger on the Lion pride soldier that was on standing on the left.

With that, he neutralizes 2 enemies at the same time. Follow to that, he charged towards the 2 Lion pride soldiers that raised their rifles and pulled the trigger.

*RATATTATATTA* *RATATTATATTA* *RATATTATATTA*

The clone 5 able dodge a few bullets, but some still grazed him. Because of that, he slowed down for a bit, but then he leap forward and dash his body forward. He landed in front and he slashed the two lion pride soldier's face, knocking both of the Lion pride soldiers down after the slash.

Clone 5 smiled as he saw the bloodstain on the knuckles dripping to the ground. "What an amazing thing to see" He then looked back to where Fang Shirong was standing. After that, they all dematerialize as Fang Shirong re-summoned them all back to himself.

After that, the fire had already dissipated. And because of the fiery flame, the ground change its appearance to a black, creating the fiery flames markings and the checkpoint got destroyed because of the fire. Jin walked over the dead, burned bodies.

"This is the cost of their war, a costly war," Jin whispered through the wind. As he walked inside the compound check point. "Alright, we are going to take the 4 APC. Let's move. They always have this kind of APC even though its armor is not as good as one we use in Maskara." Jin said as he pointed to get inside the APC.

[Purple Armored Knight FOB North Sector]

The tanks have rolled in the Purple Armored Knights. Now they are in a tight corner position on the 1st and 2nd gate being pinned down heavily. There are now tiger armored tanks that are placed by the Black Lion Pride Guild. But from their east there is the APC coming from the Black Armored Knight as a reinforcement. The Strike Helicopters are now only down to 10 and they are still having a skirmish fight with the tanks. That is why the tanks can't advance inside the forward operating base.

"Tell the ground forces to knock those Helicopters above. We can't move the armored tanks inside because we are in an open field inside of the compound. That will be a death sentence." The Lieutenant tank commander on the ground ordered to his communication officer. "I will relay the orders to the Hooded figure that is currently in command on the ground, Sir." The communication officer replied as he was tapping on the monitor.

[Radio: this is Tiger 1 to ground 1. We are currently in the midst of a cat and mouse near the entrance. You need to take down those fly bugs above your head so we can proceed.over]

And when the hooded figure leader heard the comms. He then tapped the comms button on his arm.

[Radio: Copy that Tiger 1. We are going to make them into fireworks over and out.]

"Hey Magicians, I need those helicopters down to the ground. Flame users make them burn. The Lion pride soldiers push the enemy to their last line inside the building!" the Hooded figure ordered with his authoritative tone of voice. All the Lion Pride units under his command attack, giving no mercy to those they encounter.

The Magician raised his staff and from the staff flame fireball appeared and then fired towards the Strike helicopter engines. At first it was no effect but when 6 more magicians joined, in the strike helicopters was shutdown and the engine exploded. *KABOOM* the explosion created a disruption from the strike helicopters formation now they are down to 9.

[Radio: Flyer 1 to Flyer 2 we need to retreat. We have already lost 11 strike helicopters. here we cannot waste more time here. We need to refuel and we need to retreat.over.]

[Radio: there are still no ordered from the flight leader Flyer 1]

[Radio: Flyer 2, what are you saying? The flight leader got shot down and, as a senior flight pilot, I am now in command. Now we need to retreat or else we are going to be falling one by one because of the lack of fuel in our tanks]

[Radio: Flyer 1, we need to relay this to the command before we return]

[Radio: Disregard protocol I won't destroy my strike helicopter in this place. It will be much worrisome.]

Soon the Flyer 1 Strike helicopter retreated with the rest of the 6 Strike helicopters that were deployed to help for the requested air support. The only one that was left behind was the 3 Strike helicopter with Flyer 2.

The Macktoll-4 jet fighters also retreated because they have already dropped and strike their missiles as they need to rearm and refuel. And because of the explosion of the command base of the Purple Armored Knights, they could not recall the Macktoll-4 jet fighters.
