Chapter 40: Defeat

Adam watched as three of the Mafia's remaining tanks exploded as their turrets were ripped off from their body.

It's been a bloody battle, body parts and armored vehicles are scattered all over the place.

The Mafia's forces are in full retreat now. Their main attack group was easily wiped out during their initial attack.

........

Earlier that day

After getting permission from the Godfather, Adam created his bunker near the bridge's exit.

Astoria Gambino stayed with him the whole time.

Against his advice the heads of the Mafia families decided to press their attack.

.......

Yesterday, after a fabulous dinner from the Godfather and his family, they moved on towards the more pressing issue.

Adam showed them the aerial view of the area. Indicated where their forces are located and the various mutant groups in the area. He pointed out the mutants that are gathering a few miles away inside a valley.

The density of mutant bodies there far exceeds the current population of the humans in the island.

He also showed the videos of all the battles that he was able to catch between the Mafia forces and the mutants. It clearly showed the huge difference of power.

Adam's initial advice is to evacuate the island. Have the civilians transfer to a different safe location first. Removing them from the area allows them to have more options and they can maneuver better in case the mutants reached the city.

It was received in mix approval from the families. Most of them believe in the security that the island gives them and some simply can't bear to be separated with their loved ones at this critical time.

The Godfather compromised by opting to delay their evacuation for now. Instead they will make sure that the boats are all ready and the civilians are near the docks for faster evacuation. Everybody agreed with that even Adam saw the logic in it.

........

When they saw the exact composition of the mutants that are currently guarding the bridge, Adam agreed to remove them from the equation.

That group poses as the most immediate threat with their closer proximity to the city.

Adam was also given the list of remaining military assets that the Mafia still have.

They started the attack at noon. The mutants have greater vision at night and only require very little sleep. Even if Adam's toys performance is not affected, the Mafia's soldiers don't have this advantage. There is no sense in attacking them in the dark and giving them more advantage.

......

Their attack went as planned. Adam used his five Gunships to transport a hundred of the Mafia's elite enforcer unit right behind the enemy lines. The elite soldiers used their laser finder to light the exact location of the mutant troops and their defensive structures.

From the other side of the bridge, ten old mobile howitzers homed in on those markers and started their attack.

With the chaos that the howitzers are making, Adam took advantage of the situation and summoned his Spider Tanks and Attack Drones.

He held back the enforcers and simply commanded them to snipe from a distance at take advantage of the chaos too. He summoned his sentries in case anything got close to their position.

He watched as the whole front lines of the mutants turned around to face his spider tanks from the rear.

Salvos of the spider tanks main cannon decimated the mutant's ranks.

Once Adam's attack started, more than two hundred heavy tanks and five hundred armored carriers rushed from the island and crossed the bridge. They engage the enemy while the mutant's back is facing them.

More than a thousand heavily armed soldiers on foot followed to support the attack.

With the mutant's defensive structures gone and being attacked from two sides, it was easier to subdue the mutants.

The mutants were forced to attack recklessly and launched a direct attack towards the human's tanks.

However with the volume of fire that's raining down on them, the mutants fell easily one by one.

It only took them half an hour to completely wipe out the enemies.

Adam was standing with the elite enforcers unit when Lorenzo Rucci's nephew came over.

Rolando is the appointed commander of the attack force from the island.

"Adam, this was too easy. I'm going to take advantage of their surprise and press the attack."

"Rolando, I don't think that is a good idea. Attacking this small force is easy with our combined firepower. The group in inside the Green Valley is twenty times larger than this. We need to follow the original plan."

Adam frowned for a bit. Their original plan was to remove this group first then Adam can use his Thor missiles to thin out the ones inside the valley.

"No! I was against that plan from the beginning. I don't know how you convinced the Godfather to go with that plan."

Rolando said with a sneer and continued.

"The moment that we make our move the mutants in that valley will know that were attacking them. If we wait for too long they will scatter. We won't be able to kill them all then."

"Does the Godfather know that you plan to do this?"

"He will know once I come back victorious. I don't need your help. I have the command anyways. Go home."

Rolando turned around and waved towards his team leaders.

"Let go guys. Let's kill some more freaks."

........

Rolando's tanks reached the outer limits of the valley and started raining ordinances towards the mutant's gathering point.

The bloodlist still on high after thair initial victory.

The crew of the tanks are still merrily cheering each other and laughing at the carnage they've dealt when the ground started to quake.

beyond the valley, more that five million mutants started moving and in sync with their march the ground shakes.

They quickly realized the insignificance of their tanks in the face of this onsought.

........

Adam played the video recording of his conversation with Rolando to the Godfather.

They are ten miles away from the island. Mr. Gambino with his two sons and Astoria is with Adam in his Gunship. Four other gunships are flying with them carrying the rest of the heads of the Mafia families.

The rest of their people are below them using yachts and sail boats to flee.

Without the tanks and the people defending the bridge, the remaining defence of the island eventually gave out.

The island can still be seen is smoking from the distance. Adam's tanks and drones were all destroyed as he sacrificed them to buy the civilians some more time to flee.

He also launched all his Thor missiles on the mutants to kill as much of them as he can.
