Chapter 889 - Strolled Through Like This Last Time Too (1/2)

After four hours of batte, practically all of the divisions started paying more attention to the situation reports due to the 3rd Division’s contributions. Most of the soldiers wanted to know what the 3rd Division was doing and why they could annihilate nearly a 1,000 barbarians without suffering any casualties.

At this moment, the six divisions of the Pyro Company were fanning out towards the north in six different directions.

Although the Pyro Company had suffered many casualties in the battle thus far, it was still within their acceptable limits.

By the fifth hour, it had turned dark, and the situation report arrived as scheduled.The first thing the other five division commanders did was to check the statistics achieved by the 3rd Division.

In the end, the 3rd Division’s statistics remained at a standstill again for the hour, with no changes in the number of kills and casualties suffered.

This puzzled the other division commanders. They had no clue what the 3rd Division was up to.

Normally, even if no new battles had occurred in the past hour, they should still have encountered some scattered barbarians along the way. However, the statistics of the 3rd Division did not change at all. Could it be that they had remained in their position without moving?

However, by the sixth hour, the 3rd Division wiped out another 3,000-odd barbarians within an hour after nightfall. Meanwhile, they only suffered a few dozen casualties!

This rate of casualties could only be described as terrifying. If the other divisions tried to kill more than 3,000 barbarians, they would still lose over a 1,000 people no matter how good their battle went.

This was what war was like. It was the norm to use one’s own troops to deplete the enemy’s troops!

By the seventh hour, when the new situation report was announced, the other division commanders were all stunned, because the 3rd Division had reached the top of the standings by killing 12,000 barbarians in total. In this past hour, the 3rd Division’s total number of annihilated enemies had suddenly jumped to become the highest among the divisions.

Although the battle progress was not purely based on statistics, the P5 commanders were basically competing with each other. It was not yet time for them to really discuss their contributions, so what else could they do but compare the statistics from the situation reports?

As a matter of fact, the 3rd Division that came to the forest only consisted of an infantry brigade. Their military strength was only one-third of the other troops!

In other words, the 3rd Division had fewer troops than the other divisions, yet they still killed more barbarians than the rest. It was very clear. Some of the staff officers of the other divisions were thinking that it was no wonder their commanders always regarded P5092 as their potential competitor. P5092 was indeed very capable.

But even if the 3rd Division was strong, their contributions would still have to be logical, right? How could an infantry brigade with a few thousand soldiers wipe out more than 10,000 barbarians? And from the looks of it, they only suffered several hundred casualties!

No matter what kinds of battles the 3rd Division had gone through, the results were still a great victory!

For a moment, the other P5 commanders felt a sense of urgency and immediately started to formulate their next battle plan.

However, the various division commanders also realized something. Perhaps it was due to the fierce attacks of the Pyro Company’s divisions, or that the barbarians had been devastated by the missile attacks, but after night fell, the battle was going smoother and smoother.

The initially fearless barbarians began to retreat in defeat. The Pyro Company’s divisions were like divine troops that had entered the battle as they started chasing after the barbarians in attack!

This boosted the confidence of the Pyro Company soldiers greatly. The worried expressions on the P5 commanders’ faces were also replaced by smiles.

At this moment, Yang Xiaojin was walking in the forest with a sniper rifle slung over her shoulder. She asked Ren Xiaosu next to her, “Why are you suddenly in such a hurry? You’re practically leading that infantry brigade to kill the barbarians without rest.”

Ren Xiaosu answered, “I’ve always wanted to kill the barbarians, but I want to kill them even more now. I have something I must do, and that’s to help our comrades ease their anxiety within the next three hours.”
