As Robin led the 1,000 soldiers of the Cataclysmic Front up the slope of the western flank, he had already fallen into Hamid's encirclement on that side.
Undeterred, Robin didn't notice the stone gaps around him transforming into flat black holes, and machine-gun fire suddenly erupted immediately after that.
The sound of gunfire filled the air, and before Robin could react, he heard the miserable wailing sounds of his soldiers falling with bullets.
The soldiers were completely targeted by the muzzles of more than two hundred light and heavy machine guns as well as dozens of RPG rockets.
Saturation strikes followed, and bullets rained down, putting down rows and rows of soldiers around Robin. It was a massacre.
The sound of gunfire and explosions lasted only a minute or two, and Robin's team lost more than half their men.
Robin's face was filled with horror as he shouted: "Damn it! We've been ambushed! Quickly organize a breakout!"
However, he didn't realize that there was no longer any possibility for them to break out.
The 1,000 people had fallen into a death trap surrounded by more than 3 dark forts.
No matter which direction they broke out, they were actually bumping into the gun.
They tried to return fire, but under such firepower, they couldn't even find a place to hide, let alone return fire.
Their opponents, hidden in steel and concrete fortifications, were difficult to bring to effective killing.
On Hamid's side, only a very few people were hit by the bullets fired into the fortifications.
As the number of soldiers dwindled, some soldiers knew they had no hope and shouted, "Quick, protect the General!"
Immediately, many people in all directions shouted the same words and surrounded Robin and a few of his remaining men.
Soon, he was covered by dozens of people.
Seeing his brothers fall, Robin was filled with grief and anger, and shouted with red eyes, "Brothers, today's ambush is all because of my poor command, I hope you can forgive me!"
Several soldiers cried and said, "General, we are all your soldiers, from the day we followed you, we have never regretted!"
Robin choked up and said, "To be able to fight alongside you guys is a privilege in my three lives!"
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and said, "Now there is no hope of survival, why are you still so protective of me, all get out of the way, I will fight with these bastards! This way I can die with less grievance!"
The 40 or 50 remaining warriors from the Front had tears in their eyes as more and more of their comrades fell on the periphery.
