Chapter 1176: 1173
The problem they faced was abundantly clear!
If artillery fire coverage wasn’t used, the Ocean City Battalion surrounding the Alabama villa could potentially suffer significant losses.
And now the only issue was that Freddy Adams, a hostage, was still inside the villa!
But if they chose not to attack just for the sake of one person, then the problem would only become more severe.
Once Anthony Carter broke into the midst of the troops, or even worse, into a crowd, and began a massacre, the situation would become even more troublesome!
So, in the next moment, George Lee immediately said, “Once Anthony Carter steps into the danger zone, report nothing, kill on sight!”
“He must not be allowed to leave the Alabama villa!”
The reason they hadn’t chosen to cover the area with artillery fire immediately was because they didn’t know Anthony Carter’s intent.
Furthermore, regardless of the kind of person Freddy Adams was, he was still a citizen of the pyramid, and before Anthony Carter lost his rationality, he could not bring himself to order the disregard of Freddy Adams’ life!
Therefore, the on-site decision-making power was handed over to Gao Shan.
After all, they were all battle-hardened veterans who usually wouldn’t make the wrong judgement!
At the command center!
“Report!”
The adjutant said, “Captain Lee said the decision is ours!”
Gao Shan fell silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “Once Anthony Carter approaches within five hundred meters of our front line, bomb him immediately!”
There was no room for negotiation!
The precondition for winning a battle was to avoid major casualties on one’s own side.
Add to that, the current artillery was very precise.
And if Anthony Carter stepped forward another three hundred meters or so, their artillery could certainly ensure the safety within the villa would not be compromised!
“He’s moving forward!”
Anthony Carter took a step.
His pace wasn’t fast, but the momentum that erupted with it covered a hundred meter radius.
His objective was clear—to intimidate the soldiers of the Ocean City Battalion!
Everyone in the command center began to hold their breath, eyes glued to the big screen!
“Gunners, prepare!”
When Anthony Carter advanced a hundred meters, Gao Shan issued the first command!
And the War Department’s artillerymen were also entering battle state!
“Load the shells!”
When Anthony Carter advanced another hundred meters, Gao Shan issued the second command!
The artillerymen had completed the loading process!
“Lock on the target!”
When Anthony Carter was less than six hundred meters from the front-line soldiers, Gao Shan’s tone became significantly more solemn!
Fifty meters!
Thirty meters!
Fifteen meters!
Almost everyone was mentally calculating Anthony Carter’s distance!
They had to ensure there were no mistakes!
Primarily because Anthony Carter was simply too brazen!
“Fire…”
As Anthony Carter reached the danger line, Gao Shan issued the attack order with fervor.
Because if he got any closer, they would truly have no chance…
“Bang bang bang…”
The next moment, furious shells, emerged from the cannon’s breach, trailing a long tail through the sky!
But it was at that moment that the adjutant immediately reported, “Commander, a black Lexus has entered the artillery fire zone!”
Gao Shan’s expression changed dramatically, “What?”
“Didn’t we block the area?”
They had already completed the blockade on the outside, so why was someone able to break through?
Wasn’t this making them a laughingstock?
“I don’t know!”
The adjutant’s expression was also grave, then he added, “That car is heading straight for Anthony Carter!”
According to the display on the screen, the direction in which the car sped was indeed straight for Anthony Carter.
And Anthony Carter, perceiving the intent to kill, halted his advance.
In his eyes, a cold light surged, turning towards the Lexus that was speeding towards him at two hundred yards!
