“You guys, get cover fast. Missiles incoming.”
While pulling Evan towards him, Peter didn’t forget about the four hapless men either. He shouted to them with his spiritual power quickly and reminded both duos of the two officers and Blake and Bane cousins through the special sound wave technique.
It was the same skill he used to communicate with Lilith before back in the woods.
Actually, the four men also noticed the suddenly strange situation and realized that something was not right as soon as Peter suddenly summoned his shield and other guys rushed towards him.
However, they wanted to get the protection of the armored guys so they were walking towards Peter and his team at that time. Things changed so fast in just a few seconds.
When they heard the Peter’s reminder, they were at the distance of only six or seven meters away from Peter and his men who just formed the circle shield formation one second ago.
They realized the severe of the situation and hurriedly rushed towards the nearest trees to get cover.
It was not because they felt that they would fail to reach to Peter and his men. It was because they felt that the attacks would mainly fall on Peter and his men.
They felt that getting behind the trees would be safer. However, what they didn’t know was incoming attack would be a salvo of hellfire missiles.
They only had enough time to get behind the nearest chosen trees as the missiles arrived quickly.
That was still lucky for them because they were in the woods and there were trees like every four or five steps away. So, they were able to rush to the nearby chosen tree in just a second or two.
Still, they were still unlucky. One was terrains were not good enough to defend against hellfire missiles. Then, the trees were not strong enough to cover them too. Moreover, they didn’t have time.
It was just that the hellfire missiles traveled really fast. They crossed over 2.5 km distance in just five seconds and a salvo of them quickly fell on the targets and exploded leaving the damaged trees on fire and badly battered terrains.
It was just around when the four guys jumped behind nearest trees and also just after a second when the invisible shield appeared under Peter’s activation.
The explosive flames spread around and shrapnel flew around in very high speed.
Fuck. These guys are ruthless. Peter cursed inwardly and also mourned for the four guys quietly.
He felt that these guys were probably dead. He was able to count how many missiles were coming in after they entered the range of his spiritual radar.
A total of sixteen hellfire missiles were fired. Eight hit the shield head on. Four fell at the front and four fell to the back. Nevertheless, they only caused heavy damage on the terrain and took away the lives of two hapless officers. It was because the two officers were closer to the explosion range than two folks.
Moreover, the trees they chose were just medium size trees so they were directly killed by flying shrapnel. They were not only turned into sieves but also burned badly due to explosion.
Meanwhile, Blake and his cousin Bane were in a much better situation as they dived behind the bigger trees and lied flat on the ground with heads in arms. Still, they were heavily injured by stray shrapnel.

Blake’s body was pierced through by several shrapnel of missiles in various parts while diving. Bane was not much different from his cousin either. At the moment, the two guys were bleeding a lot.
If this continued, they’re going to burp soon due to the lack of treatment and the loss of blood.
Unlike them, the ones who bear the main attack were still safe and sound.
In fact, it was not that Peter didn’t want to save the four men. It was just that he felt that he could not get them into shield formation even if he tried. It turned out that his calculation was right.
The salvo of hellfire missiles arrived just a second after he activated the shield.
The invisible shield resisted all the attacks and gave the strongest asylum to the ones inside it.
Evan hugged her two daughters and felt glad and thankful as she witnessed the powerful attack.
Lilith quietly hugged her mother’s neck and watched the entire scene of explosion with curious eyes. She was abnormally brave and even Evan didn’t expect it.
At the same time, Evan was also very angry. She realized that if there were no Peter and his men today, she was going to die along with her two daughters.
And, she felt really helpless against these long range powerful modern weapons.
Her spiritual sense could only spread around two hundreds meters radius and she understood that her proud magic couldn’t do much either against these attacks.
Meanwhile, Peter was completely outraged. He probed the surrounding situation with his spiritual sense and saw the miserable conditions of the four men.
He hated the guys at the opposite attackers who didn’t give a fuck about anything and used heavy firepower directly on them without any contact as much as he felt helpless for being not strong enough.
“Shoot! Ronald! Shoot those birds down.”
Peter narrowed his eyes to look at the four blackhawks and shouted.
Then, he took out two green vials and threw them towards the dying cousins duo, Blake and Bane.
Under the manipulation of Peter’s spiritual power, they respectively fell besides the two guys.
“Drink it. And, go back to your town from the other side.”
The two guys only heard a clear voice of Peter which sounded directly near their ears. Since, they saw the magical scene of resurrection, both of them didn’t hesitate to grab the vials and drink them down.
Soon, the wounds were healed and they got back to full blood. Blake waved at his cousin and directly ran into the woods. Bane hesitated a bit and glanced one last time at the armors guys before he ran along his cousin into the woods. What he saw was the scene of another group of missiles flying over.
At the other side, Peter put his full attention back to the enemies at the distance after throwing out two vials. Ronald was not standing still either. When he heard Peter’s order, he directly shot down one.
The unlucky blackhawk directly became a ball of flame in air and crashed to the ground.
Its sudden death scared the pilots of other three blackhawks. Although they were scared of becoming the second bird, they didn’t flinch away from the mission. Instead, they fired all the rest of hellfire missiles to the previous place which was still being pointed by drone guided laser.
At the same time, Peter and his men remembered that the hellfire missiles were in fact laser guided.
But they were also helpless because they didn’t know whether the shield would still be there if they moved from the original place.
After all, they only knew that the shield could be activated after seven shields got together.
As for whether it would still be there after they started moving, they hadn’t tested it out yet.
“Missiles incoming!”
Ronald turned another blackhawk into fire ball and reminded loudly.
Peter narrowed his eyes and said, “I see them. Shoot the missiles if you can.”
Ronald pulled the bolt and wilted inwardly, “Damn, I forgot about it. But now, it’s too late.”
At the next second after Peter said, thirty six hellfire missiles either hit the invisible shield or hit the nearby ground and exploded greatly.
While the flame from explosion was surrounding the shield and the shrapnel in various shapes were flying around, Peter’s seventh sense suddenly warned him wildly.
He chose to trust on it and immediately activated his void shield.
As Peter activated his void shield, another invisible shield layer quietly appeared under the shield of shield formation. Ben was surprised and turned his head to look at Peter.
Just when he wanted to ask Peter, a bullet came out from flames and hit the upper shield layer.
The shield, which easily withstood two rounds of hellfire missiles, was directly damaged by the bullet.
Tiny cracks formed and two waves spread across the entire spherical shield. Then, another three bullets hit the upper shield layer just around the first one in triangle form and cracked a big opening.
Peter got no idea what kind of bullets were these. But he knew that he couldn’t just stand still and be the target. So, he decided to retreat immediately after seeing the shield with a big hole.
“Retreat back into the woods in formation.”
Ben also looked at the opening on the shield and quietly swallowed the question into his stomach.
