The unlucky ones were not only the second-in-command; the star thieves in the same area with him also tasted the concentrated bombardment of artillery.
However, it didn't take long before the star thieves returned fire.
Some of the artillery had been damaged, and the star thieves had not pre-set the shooting parameters, so their response was still a bit slow.
The initial artillery fire was sparse, and by the time it became dense, most of the Pioneer Team members had successfully escaped.
The artillery that was supporting the Pioneer Team quickly repositioned after a brief firing.
They have been dealing with the star thieves for some time now, mastering the art of guerrilla warfare and are adept at the "hit-and-run" tactic.
In the exchange of artillery fire between the star thieves and the Pioneer Team, quite a few Pioneer Team members who rebelled again were mistakenly injured.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it, and they could only blame their bad luck.
