<h4>Chapter 889: Strolled through like thisst time too</h4>
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 annihte 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 eptable limits.
By the fifth hour, it had turned dark, and the situation report arrived as scheduled.The first thing the other five divisionmanders 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 divisionmanders. They had no clue what the 3rd Division was up to.
Normally, even if no new battles had urred 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 divisionmanders 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 annihted enemies had suddenly jumped to be the highest among the divisions.
Although the battle progress was not purely based on statistics, the P5manders were basicallypeting with each other. It was not yet time for them to really discuss their contributions, so what else could they do butpare 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 theirmanders always regarded P5092 as their potentialpetitor. 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 P5manders felt a sense of urgency and immediately started to formte their next battle n.
However, the various divisionmanders 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 P5manders’ faces were also reced 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 ourrades ease their anxiety within the next three hours.”
“Is that your quest?” Yang Xiaojin asked curiously. This was the first time she had heard Ren Xiaosu mention this.
However, she was not surprised. After all, who would suddenly pull her away to jump rope together in the mountains if it were not for a quest?
Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, “I can’t exin it to you in-depth. I’ve tried many ways to ease everyone’s anxiety. I couldn’t do it by putting on a show for them, and neither did it work when I made the soldiers perform....”
Yang Xiaojin was speechless. She thought to herself, ‘<i>You’re only making the soldiers on the battlefield even more nervous!</i>‘
Then Ren Xiaosu said, “So I’m reconsidering what I need to do toplete this quest. What is the source of the soldiers’ anxiety?”
Yang Xiaojin turned around and looked at him.
Ren Xiaosu said with certainty, “The source of their anxiety is the barbarians! So I wonder if they will be less nervous after all the barbarians are killed? Everyone in the forest doesn’t know what they’ll be facing next. A group of barbarians could pop up at any moment, so who wouldn’t be nervous? But after the barbarians have been cleared out of this forest, won’t everyone feel at ease? Do you think what I said makes sense? This is why we have to quickly kill all of the barbarians!”
Yang Xiaojin thought for a moment and felt that there was indeed nothing wrong with this logic. Although it sounded a little extreme, it was a way to resolve his problem. He was going straight for the root of the problem.
But she suddenly said, “Have you ever considered that you can actuallye up with a proper mobilization n for the battle to ease their tension?”
“That so?” Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. “Never mind! Since we’ve already killed so many barbarians, let’s just continue doing it!”
As he spoke, Ren Xiaosu quickened his pace. “Follow me. Old Xu has encountered a small group of barbarians, but they’ve already been killed. Come with me and collect the axes.”
With Old Xu’s current strength, even a T5batant would get crushed by it, let alone the barbarians.
At this moment, P5092’s voice crackled over the radio. “Ren Xiaosu, what’s your next n?”
“Oh, I just encountered a small group of barbarians over here. Wait a moment,” Ren Xiaosu said.
Puzzled, P5092 asked, “Which zone? We’ll quickly head over to provide support.”
“No need, I’ve already killed them all.”
These words transmitted to everyone’s earpiece kept reying in their minds. In fact, the 3rd Division had only engaged in one head-on battle in the past hour. For the rest of the time, they only heard Ren Xiaosu reporting over the radio in monotone the number of enemies he had killed. P5092 and the others did not even know where the barbarians had appeared before they got killed by Ren Xiaosu...
This was a little different from their previously agreed upon battle strategy. At the beginning, everyone was cooperating and dividing up the workload, so there was still a sense of participation by everyone.
But now, there was really no sense of participation to speak of anymore. Everyone was just following Ren Xiaosu and advancing forward. They could even chat along the way since the barbarians in front had already been killed by Ren Xiaosu.
P5092 suddenly felt that Ren Xiaosu’sbat style seemed to have changed. It was as though he had been hiding his strength before this, but now, he was unleashing everything he had.
The reconpany’s troops expressed they were not unfamiliar with this feeling. That was because they had strolled through theirst mission like this too.
