Chapter 435 After All, Too Few...
"Yes!"
Kyle's roar had the team members immediately respond, and they then focused all their attention on fighting while advancing.
It must be said, the Fierce Tiger Squad truly lived up to its reputation. They could indeed be called the elite of the elites within the Alliance Army, the cream of the crop. Facing an enemy that surrounded them from all sides, the ten-person squad showed no signs of fear. Astonishingly, despite such encirclement, their advancement wasn't halted at all!
Even surrounded on all sides, the Fierce Tiger Squad still charged at high speed, swiftly closing in on the formation of the Imperial Heavy Armored Ship!
Kyle, leading the charge from the start, faced the most enemies, but no number of enemies could stop him, not even for a moment.
All the enemies that rushed at him, if they were captains, might withstand one or two strikes, but within two strikes they were either slain outright or severely wounded and forced to flee; and if they were just ordinary members in Mass-produced Armor, Kyle would cut them down on the spot within a single strike, with no one able to withstand two strikes unscathed, even if surrounded by three, four, or five enemies simultaneously.
The situation was similar for the team members following Kyle.
The members of the Fierce Tiger Squad were no ordinary soldiers; although they were just part of the squad, in terms of strength and Armor configuration, they were even stronger than the typical captains of the Void Magic Squad. So, as Kyle cleared the path ahead, the rest of the squad not only had the ability to keep pace with him but their combat achievements were no less impressive than Kyle's.
They achieved this thanks to their own personal strength and Armor configuration being sufficiently strong, but another reason was their seamless team coordination.
In fact, if they were facing ordinary enemies, the members of the Fierce Tiger Squad could perhaps replicate what Kyle was doing: killing the enemy with one or two strikes, or at the very least severely injuring them. However, when faced with captain-level enemies, the team members could not handle them as easily. They could still win, but it would consume significantly more time, essentially holding them back.
In a situation of being heavily surrounded, the consequences of being held back are quite severe, needless to say.
But the actual situation was that the captains defeated by the team members were not only numerous but they never slowed down, always closely following Kyle.
Why was this the case?
It was precisely because their teamwork was incredibly well-coordinated.
On the battlefield, it seemed as if every member of the Fierce Tiger Squad was facing one or more enemies at a time, but in reality, they were always looking out for each other, and whenever opportunities arose, they accurately seized them and instantaneously helped their teammates eliminate the enemy.
What does this suggest?
It suggests that even facing so many enemies, the entire Fierce Tiger Squad was still at ease!

It was because of this that, although they were the first to rush into the enemy lines, the squad's speed was hardly reduced. They directly broke through, continuously advancing towards the formation of the Imperial Heavy Armored Ship!
Compared to this, Rocky was quite unlucky...
Facing the enemies all around, he too didn't feel too much pressure, but because he had no one to coordinate with, he quickly got bogged down...
"Damn it!"
After slicing off an enemy's longsword along with his arm, Rocky leapt up and looked in the direction of Kyle and the others, only to see that they had already moved far, far away, almost leaving him behind.
This made Rocky give a thumbs-up in his mind, but also filled him with immense frustration.
By now he finally understood why Clara had said those words to him back then.
Previously, when Rocky thought the Fierce Tiger Squad should enter the battle, Clara had asked him coldly, "What do you consider the Fierce Tiger Squad as?"
At that time, Rocky was very dissatisfied with her words, thinking Clara was too arrogant. After all, the Fierce Tiger Squad, no matter how strong, was just a squad - could they really defy the heavens?
But now, it seemed that the Fierce Tiger Squad indeed possessed the power to defy the heavens!
They faced enemies outnumbering them by dozens of times, yet nothing could stop this squad; they even managed to advance at an extremely fast pace. With such strength, it didn't matter if they were a bit audacious.
However, this also made Rocky quite frustrated because as the Fierce Tiger Squad continued advancing at undiminished speed, he was being left behind. At this moment, the large forces behind were also catching up, meaning both armies were about to clash officially; wouldn't this mean he was being left behind?
No way!
Realizing he was about to be left behind, Rocky didn't want to continue fighting and immediately sped up to catch up.
But this was easier said than done; after all, he was only one person!
The White Demon Armor was very strong, arguably the strongest armor in this battle; the Magic Fang Scythe was equally powerful. In front of this sharp scythe, even captains wearing fifth-generation Special Armor had to avoid its edge, lest they be slain within a few bouts.
But one mustn't forget, the enemy he faced now wasn't the cobbled-together Rebel Army anymore, but the equally high-quality Imperial Army.
After many of their comrades had fallen, the Void Magic Warriors of the Empire also realized the threat Rocky posed, and immediately changed their strategy to using long-range attacks to stop him.
This made things troublesome because there were simply too many enemies surrounding him. Facing the long-range attacks of hundreds, even though the White Demon Armor's Defensive Net was strong and the Azure Fang could absorb the attacks, Rocky didn't dare withstand them outright; otherwise, he would have been riddled with holes instantly.
In this situation, the only thing he could do was dodge and move at the fastest speed to evade the attacks.
Operating the White Demon Armor, Rocky moved agilely through the air, almost like a dancer performing in the sky.
Fortunately, not long after, the large forces of the Alliance Army arrived.
With the arrival of the main forces, the Imperial Void Magic Warriors could no longer focus solely on Rocky, and both sides immediately started a major battle.
As the enemies' attention was divided, Rocky suddenly felt much less pressure and relentlessly chased in the direction of Kyle and the others.
At this moment, while Rocky's pressure was lessened by the arrival of the main forces, the pressure on Kyle and his team didn't decrease at all, because as the main forces of the Alliance Army engaged the enemy, they were about to break through the Imperial Void Magic Corps.
Now it turned sour!
As they were about to break through the entire corps, the enemy suddenly treated them as the primary target, madly swarming from all directions to block their path, thoroughly entrapping the Fierce Tiger Squad. Despite their valiant and unmatched courage, even their speed was eventually slowed down by the incessant attacks, plunging them into a tough battle.
It's still the same old situation; after all, the Fierce Tiger Squad is just a ten-person squad!
