Although they had been away from the battlefield for a long time, the soldiers of the Leray Federation would immediately exude a sense of indifference once they experienced artillery fire.
The 3rd Group Commander Gutierrez didn't hide; he just stood there, continuously firing his energy cannon. Suddenly, he tilted his head, his expression changed, and he somersaulted into a nearby trench to lie down. Almost simultaneously, a shell blasted a huge crater where he had just been standing, and the energy machine gun was deformed by the shockwave.
Looking at the soldiers in the trench laughing at him, Gutierrez climbed up awkwardly, spat, pulled out a military canteen filled with alcohol, took two big swigs, and cursed, "This damn shell hit so accurately, I was almost blasted to one meter twenty!"
