Chapter 851 - Too careless! (1/2)

Translator: Legge

When the Pyro Company’s special forces appeared, it was as good as announcing that the encirclement on Mt. Dashi was coming to an end. The barbarians in Longtan Canyon were either dead or wounded, while this last group of barbarians who had infiltrated Mt. Dashi were also heavily surrounded by T5081 and his subordinates now.

In fact, these special forces consisted entirely of T4s. Even in terms of average strength, they still had an overwhelming advantage over the barbarians.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were secretly observing the battle with their spotting scopes. They were about 700 meters away from the campsite, with the Qingyan River standing between them.

Before this, Ren Xiaosu had also guessed the barbarians might stake everything on this attempt to attack the camp. After all, this was a typical tactic that suicide squads would carry out after infiltrating enemy lines. So it was no surprise they did that.

However, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were a step too late. By the time they arrived, the machine gun position had already been taken out by the barbarians. Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin quickly searched for the most ideal sniping position to settle down at. But as soon as they found a spot, the T5 combatant suddenly came killing out of nowhere.

Ren Xiaosu was a little surprised by this turn of events. He had thought P5092 had no other way out, but he would never have expected the barbarians to be unable to threaten him at all.

In the battle on Mt. Dashi, P5092 resorted to conventional tactics and adopted a careful and steady approach in the early stages. But as they neared the end, he suddenly diverged from those methods. This was very exciting to watch.

Thinking about it, P5092 should be a rare talented commander among the Pyro Company troops.

To be honest, Ren Xiaosu even had the thought of copying P5092’s Army Warfare Leadership skill since he still had a Basic Skill Duplication Scroll with him.

However, the distance was too far for him to use the scroll as they were about 700 meters away from each other. Moreover, if he really wanted to learn a skill like this in the future, he could look for better candidates like Qing Zhen or Zhang Jinglin after earning enough Skill Duplication Scrolls.

When Yang Xiaojin saw Ren Xiaosu in a trance, she asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, “Even without us, they would still have been able to clear out the barbarians on Mt. Dashi. It might take a day or two longer, but the outcome would be the same.”

He was lamenting because he realized his role in this battle was only the icing on the cake rather than being someone who provided them with timely assistance.

Faced with the invasion of tens of thousands of barbarians that were headed south, war was looming for the entire Central Plains against a whole other nation.

At that time, the Central Plains might eventually end up as the victor. But that would be the result of everyone fighting hard together, and definitely not the credit of only one or two individuals.

An individual’s strength would appear insignificant in the face of the expeditionary army’s barbarians that numbered in the tens of thousands. In this war, they needed more people like P5092 to step forward and display their intelligence to fight the barbarians to the end.

There was also a need for more Pyro Company soldiers to fight for the survival of mankind.

So what this war needed was many heroes, not just one or two.

Yang Xiaojin glanced at Ren Xiaosu. “Didn’t we come here to take the pressure off the doctors? Why are you thinking so much? It’s good enough that the doctors at the medical center won’t have to overwork anymore.”

“You’re right.” Ren Xiaosu chuckled, “We’ve also fulfilled our duties as doctors by coming here. Let’s go, it’s time to retreat!”

After that, they got up and headed back to the forward operating base.

The sun had already risen in the east. Golden-red rays of light shone through the layers of clouds from the distant sky. It seemed like today was no different from any other day as before.

But the barbarian corpses in the mountains, the dust on the soldiers’ faces, and the blood on their bodies all reminded everyone that the real war had only just begun.

The battle at the camp was gradually coming to a stop. P5092 just stood on the sidelines without any intention of helping out.
