Qu Jianlei’s precise shooting quickly drew the enemy’s attention, after all, five shots took down two Mechas.

The attack was carried out at night, but both Mechas had observation devices, and the data was instantly transmitted to the rear.

Three attack drones shifted over, bombing the northwest corner relentlessly.

A sniper of this level is unlikely to be an Awakened, more likely a Modified Warrior or an ordinary person.

For such people, ordinary artillery could cause harm, so a counterattack is warranted.

This time, Fugui didn’t wait for Qu Jianlei to command and directly launched a counterattack from a machine gun position.

He fired with great bravado, holding the trigger without stopping. In just over twenty seconds, he shot down a drone.

Then Fugui quickly moved to another position — staying any longer would be irresponsible to his own life.

”Efficiency is pretty good, let me change positions.”

”You don’t need to change,” Three Eyes shouted excitedly, ”Bursting has already taken down the other two.”

”Damn,” Fugui was stunned by what he heard, ”What kind of hand speed is this?”

Three Eyes was truly excited, ”Just an ordinary sniper rifle, two shots, two drones... Amazing!”

The armor of the attack drones isn’t thick, Qu Jianlei felt there was no need to use the Anti-Mecha Sniper Rifle.

Anyway, two shots took down two drones, whether the enemy could infer more from that wasn’t his concern.

However, the drones’ attacks weren’t just relentless bombing.

The flames, heat, shockwaves, and smoke from the explosions could effectively cover the approach of combat personnel.

Although the northwest corner wasn’t the main attack direction, the enemy’s battlefield observer still noticed.

”There are at least one or maybe three Divine Shooters there, their suppressive fire is also quite precise.”

Soon after, three figures approached like phantoms.

Although the northwest corner was still not the main attack direction, the threat here was significant, necessitating some chaos.

Among these three, there were two C-level Warriors and one Modified Warrior, all clad in Ice Armor, to avoid detection by night vision devices.

However, the defenders also had an Energy Observation Device that could detect energy fluctuations.

Three Eyes quickly sounded the alarm, ”At least three are approaching.”

Unfortunately, the Energy Observation Device has restrictions and cannot be equipped on too small a combat unit.

Three Eyes received the information from the command center, and the enemy’s dodging skills were high, making precise real-time positioning impossible.

However, Qu Jianlei didn’t need precise targeting; slightly releasing some Spiritual Perception was enough to clarify things.

Fugui again spoke up to volunteer, ”Need fire suppression?”

In such a situation, fire suppression is effective; even if a Warrior is armored, getting hit could at least stop their kinetic energy.

”No need,” Qu Jianlei answered crisply, then fired another shot.

The Anti-Mecha Sniper Rifle hit a C-level Warrior, sending them tumbling head over heels.

”B-level Golden Armor inside the Ice Armor?” Qu Jianlei’s brow furrowed slightly, casually fired another shot, then withdrew.

Mixed combat has this downside, you think it’s just a C-level Warrior, but they have B-level Armor underneath.

Thus, his first shot only wounded the enemy, and the second shot created a large hole in the opponent’s chest.

He swiftly moved to another sniping position, and with three shots, took out another C-level Warrior.

Meanwhile, Fugui pulled the machine gun trigger—the first C-level Warrior wasn’t dead yet, and he fired a finishing shot.

By that time, the Warrior was immobile, and the machine gunner proved useful.

After over ten seconds of covering fire, Fugui decisively relocated, then continued to fire finishing shots.

The third figure, a Modified Warrior, was terrified after seeing the two C-levels shot and immediately dashed backward.

His skills were indeed strong, better than the two C-levels with him, no wonder he could undertake close combat missions.

However, unfortunately, Qu Jianlei had him in his sights, making escape difficult, and with three consecutive shots, he also fell.

Thus, all three figures were dealt with.

”Beautiful!” Three Eyes couldn’t help shouting again, ”Bursting shot beautifully, and Fugui’s finishing shots were spot on.”

Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but voice his question, ”Why finish them off? Wouldn’t leaving a survivor be better?”

He really didn’t expect the combat to be so brutal here.

”Why leave a survivor?” This time Three Eyes was puzzled, ”Eliminating living forces also makes the enemy pay compensation!”

Is there compensation? Qu Jianlei was amazed: Why doesn’t my contract include compensation?

But the next moment, he realized: I haven’t even reported my real name, so even if compensation was signed, who would receive it?

So the finishing shots are to weaken the enemy’s war potential?

However, he also needed to save face and couldn’t admit he hadn’t considered this point.

”I mean, wounding them might distract the enemy with rescue efforts, and the cries of the injured could disturb the enemy’s morale.”

This is a set of war theories from Blue Star, not very popular in the Imperial realm.

Three Eyes hesitated for a moment and said, ”That’s also reasonable, but once the battle stops, finish shots can’t be fired.”

The Empire, despite its iron will, does have some boundaries in certain areas.

For example, the possibility of executing prisoners publicly is almost non-existent—execution can occur after trial, but that’s a different matter.

In civilian conflicts, unless there is a deep-seated blood feud, you basically can’t slaughter the wounded arbitrarily after the war is over.

—Alright, mainly you can’t randomly kill Superpower Warriors, and it’s best to avoid finishing off those who aren’t Awakened as well.

It sounds relatively civilized, but consider the finishing shots of the wealthy on the battlefield, and you’ll realize civility is limited.

However, their actions drove the attackers into a rage, ”Bastards, actually finishing them off!”

Actually, finishing them off isn’t necessarily bad; that C-level was severely injured, and saving him might cost more than the compensation.

That’s not even counting the cost of limb regeneration, otherwise, it’s a sure loss.

However, the employment contract states that only the injuries are treated, limb regeneration is not included.

The attacker was angry because the opponent’s finishing shot not only showed their determination to fight to the death, but also seemed extremely vicious.

This would deal a certain blow to the morale of our side.

”Cover fire to the northwest,” the commander decided, ”Strengthen the attacks south and northeast!”

Thus, the area around Qu Jianlei suffered an overwhelming barrage of attacks.

Fortunately, after all, it was a civilian conflict, far from comparable to the Star Thief’s bombardment.

But even so, it greatly affected Qu Jianlei’s perception.

Three Eyes kept howling, ”Do they have to be so ruthless, what grudge do we have?”

”Silence,” Qu Jianlei shouted through the intercom, ”Don’t affect my observation!”

The perception was indeed affected, but he could slightly enhance it, at least ensuring the opponent couldn’t launch a sneak attack.

The attack from the northwest was just a diversion, investing such combat power gives an idea of how fierce the main attacks were in the other two directions.

Amidst the relentless bombardment, someone from the northeast used Earth Magic, ”Investigate to the Bottom~”

It was an A-level Technique fluctuation, enough to turn the defensive area upside down.

Fortunately, the area defended by the Luo Family had been reinforced with Earth Magic beforehand.

Rein noticed the opponent’s A-level Earth Element fluctuation direction and shouted, ”Please, sir, take action!”

”Courting death~” a cold snort echoed, ”Meteor Fireball~”

Turns out the Luo Family had hidden an A-level Fire Attribute, whose aura was well-concealed.

In such battles, the Superpower Warrior is not invincible, just look at Pan Yifu’s reaction on Zarif Star.

He needed quite some luck to charge out of the Star Port and kept a distance from the bombardment.

The A-level Fire Attribute concealing aura was normal, and even though the opponent was discovered, he didn’t use ”Prison Cage” Technique.

Flame Cage is effective against Earth Attribute... Your defense is high? I can slowly wear you down.

But the casting time for this technique is quite long, and during this period, the caster cannot interrupt the casting.

In such a case, it’s equivalent to exposing oneself to the opponent’s artillery.

An A-level Fire Attribute can move, but moving too fast would cause the technique to interrupt.

Unleashing Meteor Fireball was different, a series of fireballs were launched with some tracking effect.

After casting, he could quickly dodge without being locked on by the opponent’s artillery.

As for the attack effect? Surely, it couldn’t kill an A-level Earth Attribute, but there was a high possibility of injuring them.

Upon sensing the effects of the two techniques, Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but nod slightly: Not simple.

The Earth Attribute’s Investigate to the Bottom exhibited quite a high level of micro operation, using little Inner Breath with good effect.

The Fire Attribute was even more surprising; not to mention anything else, at least the ability to add tracking to the Meteor Fireball was outstanding among peers.

Are Superpower Warriors in the Prosperous Star Realm really averaging higher than those in the Edge Star Realm?

Soon, two fireballs caught up with the A-level Earth Attribute hidden among the attackers.

After two loud explosions, it seemed… they didn’t break the defense.

However, two Mechas escorting the A-level were affected, and the explosive fireballs blasted them over ten meters away.

As for the damage extent to the Mechas, Qu Jianlei didn’t sense carefully, but judging by the power, they wouldn’t be undamaged.

Is this truly coordinated combat? He frowned slightly: It’s indeed different from a duel with Superpower Warriors.

The next moment, three fireballs flew from afar, and Three Eyes muttered, ”Damn... Are missiles coming too?”

”These are missiles locking on energy fluctuations,” rarely, Fugui also spoke, ”They should mainly be intercepted.”

”Missiles... locking on energy fluctuations?” Qu Jianlei was somewhat astonished, playing it this big?

The next moment, dense tongues of fire rushed toward the three fireballs.

Soon after, several Stone Shields appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of the A-level Fire Attribute.

”Is this a Stone Pillar?” Qu Jianlei watched in astonishment, thinking that this guy’s technique micro-operation ability was quite high.

At this moment, a call came through his earpiece, ”Bursting Arrow, what’s your situation?”

”If you can free up your hands, release the Golden Shield to protect our A-level!”
