Chapter 937 - Vulgarities And Legacies (1/2)

Facing the heavily armored barbarian warrior, White Mask charged out from the defensive position and killed him in front of the defensive position. Then it stripped him of his heavy armor and brought it back to camp.

This was because P5092 had said he wanted to study the structure and load-bearing properties of the heavy armor, and Ren Xiaosu easily helped him with that.

After the ambush by the expeditionary army's heavily armored warrior, the entire defensive line became even more cautious.

In fact, the mutual probing conducted during the initial phase of the battle was just both sides constantly making mistakes and correcting them. It was not only the 6th Combat Brigade that wanted to find out what other trump cards the expeditionary army had. The expeditionary army was doing the same.

After the heavily armored warrior was killed by White Mask, no other similar heavily armored barbarian warriors appeared again in battle that day.

Everyone understood the expeditionary army did not only have one heavily armored warrior. It was just that the opponent felt it was not yet time to send out a large number of them into battle.

When these trump cards appeared again on the battlefield, it would probably be the time for both sides to fight to their deaths.

White Mask returned to the camp with the heavy armor. Even Ren Xiaosu found it too heavy to carry. ”Moving so quickly while wearing this thing, it looks like the elites among the barbarians are also quite fearsome. If there's hundreds or thousands of such warriors, won't it be very dangerous for our position?”

P5092 examined the heavy armor and said, ”Even if they have a unit of heavily armored warriors, they'll still need to sacrifice many lives to trade for this position. I've had a look at the ammunition brought by the 6th Combat Brigade. Something surprised me quite a bit. Don't worry. When these heavily armored warriors appear again, I have a surprise in store for them.”

If the defensive position could be so easily breached, P5092 would not have chosen to continue defending it after learning about the Pyro Company's defeat. He had said before that if the expeditionary army wanted to take down this position, they would have to trade with their lives for it, and he meant what he said.

The battle went on for four hours before the first group of defenders were rotated out. Since this was going to be a protracted battle, P5092 would have to consider the physical fitness and energy levels of the troops.

In a high-intensity battle that went on for a long time, if the soldiers got tired, their reaction speed and shot accuracy would decrease while their vision would gradually blur.

Therefore, P5092 had already drafted a new defensive plan to ensure that the soldiers at the defensive position were always energetic.

The first thing the troops who rotated away from the defensive position did was replenish their fluids.

They had been shouting and fighting at the front line without having much of a chance to get a drink of water. Some of them even shouted until their voices turned hoarse. Amid the intense gunfire, they had to shout as loudly as they could so their comrades could hear what they were saying.

In current battles, soldiers did not wear any communications equipment as there was nowhere to recharge them. The battle could last more than ten days or even up to a month, so communications equipment was no longer versatile for their operations.

Therefore, they could only return to the most primitive way—roaring.

Although some of the veterans in the relieved troops were exhausted, they still patted the recruits on their shoulders encouragingly. One of the veterans said with a hoarse laugh, ”You've taken some lives on the battlefield now. From today onwards, you're also veterans.”

Some of the recruits were still in a panicky state. The first time killing someone would always bring about a psychological impact on humans. This impact was definitely not something that could be eased by shouting some slogans.

But before they could fully lose themselves to their fear and panic, the veterans dragged them to the chow hall to eat and drink.

Then the veterans led them back to their barracks and conducted firearms checks. They did some basic physical training to prevent their muscles from tensing up before sleeping.

After going through a flurry of activities, the initial fear the recruits had was starting to subside.
