At the sight of hundreds of demonized puppets in the woods below, Zhang Su sprung up from the grasses first. With a growl, "Kill", he rushed towards those demonized puppets as fast as a lightning bolt. From 10 m away, he had released his battle qi. Before those demonized puppets in the front made any response, Zhang Su's battle qi had already struck onto them, causing a lot of demonized puppets to fall down at once...
The demonized puppets shrieked as they rushed towards Zhang Su fearlessly...
Closely after Zhang Su rushed out, the other members of the elite team of 9 people also sprung up from the grasses on both sides of the hillside. Waving their weapons, they rushed into those demonized puppets like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
In a split second, a bloody battle broke out on the hillside close to the dense woods while the screams of demonized puppets and the roars of human fighters reverberated in the air...
Over the past two months, for the senior fighters above LV 9 in the elite special forces of Hurricane Corps who entered Kalay Mountain Range, such ambushes had happened many times every day. However, no matter how many demonized puppets they killed, more and more demonized puppets would appear. As a result, they were forced to retreat, retreat, and retreat again... Over the past two months, the elite special forces of Hurricane Corps had been retreating from the northernmost part of Kalay Mountain Range to the southernmost part of Kalay Mountain Range. They were less than 100 miles away from the luxuriant mountains of Kalay Mountain Range...
This elite squad of ten people had already lost two people in the past two months. That time, they had lost two people. In the mountain, they encountered a squad of demon corps which had the same population as theirs. Almost without preparation for half a second, the two parties had collided in the woods. In a split second, saber lights and sword shadows rapidly cut through the chaotic air in the woods.
The squad of demonized puppets was composed of 10 LV 9 iron-armored demons, 9 LV 9 fighters and 1 LV 10 strong fighter.
As a result, the squad of demonized puppets was killed by them. This elite team of Hurricane Corps also lost 2 members.
The battle had just ended, and they didn't even have time to collect the corpses of their comrades. After being attracted by the battle, the dense demonized puppets appeared in the woods. Zhang Su issued an order to leave with tears in his eyes. The only thing they could do was to ignite the "glory bullets" on their comrades. The "glory bullets" were similar to super small white phosphorous gel bullets, which were carried by the elite squads of Hurricane Corps. In addition to being able to let the team members quickly light up a fire when needed. In this case, this "glory bomb" could burn the corpses of the squad members into ashes as soon as possible so that they would not be profaned by demonized puppets. Therefore, they would not become the food of demonized puppets after death.
…
Like what happened in previous ambushes, after less than 10 minutes, the entire hillside was covered with over 700 demonized puppets' corpses. Therefore, Zhang Su had to give the order to retreat.
As more and more demonized puppets were rushing out of the woods, Zhang Tie could not kill them all. Each vanguard troop of demonized puppets was followed by an endless army of demonized puppets.
"Retreat!" Zhang Su issued the order straightforwardly. Closely after that, he released his battle qi once again and blew up some demonized puppets in front of him.
Zhang Su stayed at the rear while the other members of the elite squad rapidly jumped up and broke through the encirclement by stepping on the heads and shoulders of those demonized puppets. After that, they rapidly evacuated towards the southwest...
Demonized puppets kept chasing after the members of the elite squad with weird sounds. However, they were gradually left behind by the members of the elite squad. As a result, they could only roar at the members of the elite squad...
The demonized puppets army behind them continued to pour in. The corpses of those demonized puppets which had been killed by the squad members became the food of the demonized puppets army behind them. With grim looks and bloody eyes, those demonized puppets picked up the fleshes from the ground and chewed them, causing blood to spurt out of their mouths. At the same time, they walked towards the south.
After the members of the elite squad completely disappeared behind a hill, over 1,000 demonized puppets slowed down and started to walk towards the south at a normal speed. These demonized puppets became the vanguard of this troop once again...
2 hours later, this hillside had been filled with demonized puppets. Numerous demonized puppets walked out of the woods and surged towards the south like a dark tide which was disgusting and terrifying. As a result, they submerged each place on the way and each living being who didn't escape away.
The same scene occurred in many places in Kalay Mountain Range which was thousands of miles long from west to east.
The demonized puppets corps of about 200 million people were going to leave Kalay Mountain Range and enter the south of Blackson Humans Corridor officially...
...
3 hours later, Zhang Su's team members had already been 50 miles away from the battlefield. In a secret supply point, this team stopped. After leaving 2 people on sentry duty, the others started to take a rest and eat.
Zhang Su checked his members one after another. Meanwhile, he distributed some all-purpose medicament and compressed meat jerky to them.
Even LV 9 fighters could not stay safe in such a battle. Given the strong vitality of demonized puppets, they would perform very terrifyingly in such a battle. Thankfully, they were just slightly wounded. Only one member of the elite squad had a deep wound on his shin.
After 3 hours, the wound had started to turn black. The wounded member drew in a cold breath as he cut off the black skin and flesh on his shin with a dagger.
"Brad, what's wrong?" Zhang Su walked over there and gave a vial of all-purpose medicament to that guy. After that, he started to deal with his wound.
"Hiss..." That guy's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "A demonized puppet's head has been cut off for a long time. I thought it was dead. When I moved to the side of that demonized puppet's head, I was bitten off by that demonized puppet ferociously. I was bitten off by that demonized puppet. F * ck, a piece of flesh was bitten off by it... "
Although Brad was a tough white man, he could speak Hua language fluently.
Demonized puppets carried a special biological toxin. Being bitten or scratched by them or being sprayed by their blood, Zhang Tie would have a risk of being infected. Although being infected was not fatal, it could also influence one's battle strength.
Zhang Su daubed a vial of all-purpose medicament on Brad's wound. Closely after that, he threw his vial of all-purpose medicament to Brad.
"Ahh, captain, what about yours?" Brad took the vial of all-purpose medicament as he asked in a bashful way.
"It's okay. I don't need it... "
Brad didn't say anything more. He just raised his head and drank that vial of all-purpose medicament.
"After taking a rest for half an hour, we will evacuate before dark..." Zhang Su sent an order after looking at his watch.
Everybody knew what Zhang Su meant by "evacuate". After hearing this order from Zhang Su, everybody let out a sigh of relief at once.
It was indeed time to evacuate. Based on the speed of demonized puppets, they could evacuate by sunrise tomorrow. Some of the vanguard of demonized puppets had already arrived.
After giving the order. After delivering the order, Brad sat down against a rock and started to eat the dried meat.
After fighting in Kalay Mountain Range for over 2 months, all the members of the squad understood that no matter how many demonized puppets were in front of them, they had to maintain their battle strength after each battle if they wanted to survive themselves. They had to be able to deal with that super demon squad at any time or at least have the strength to escape away. Compared to those demonized puppets, the iron-armored demon squads of the super demon corps were the trickiest ones. Sometimes, iron-armored demon squads would mix with demonized puppets; sometimes, they would act alone. Therefore, they were very tricky to deal with.
Over the past 2 months, Zhang Su's beard had grown to 1 cm long; his skin had turned a bit darker; he had become thinner. His colorless battle uniform had been giving off a strong stink. Actually, the other members of the squad also looked the same over the past 2 months. Nobody in the squad had taken off their clothes. After fighting in Kalay Mountain Range for 2 months, many of them had been covered with fleas while white hairs had grown out of their hair. Even if a Heaven Immortal were to descend to the mortal world, he would be no different from a beggar if he had to crawl and sweat every day in such an environment for two months.
Everyone had turned into savages and beggars at this time. However, the aura on everyone's body had become more vigorous.
During the break, the members of the squad would catch fleas and bugs on their bodies and heads. After that, they would explode those fleas and bugs by fingernails. Zhang Su closed his eyes for a rest; however, he could hear the faint "Pah", "Pah", "Pah".
Squeezing fleas and hairs by fingernails became the only fun for the members of the squad during the break over 2 months.
After taking a rest for less than 10 minutes, they had heard two cries of chickadees from afar.
After hearing the two cries of chickadees, all the members of the squad sprung up at once and entered the battle state in a split second. With some hand gestures of Zhang Su, all the members of the squad silently formed a battle formation and moved towards afar...
...
Zhang Su and the members of the squad were hiding behind a bramble at the end of the reed field on the riverside. Holding their breaths, they watched the swaying reeds and waited for the enemy...
Someone was moving towards them from the reed field. There was a supply point nearby. If they were also an elite squad of Hurricane Corps, they should have sent a secret signal to confirm their identities in case of misunderstanding.
However, there was no secret signal.
After cutting off more than 1 kg of flesh from his leg, Brad seemed to have forgotten about the pain on his leg; instead, he narrowed his eyes and licked his lips. At the same time, he clenched the matte black long sword in his hand and slightly arched his body, preparing to launch a fatal strike at any time.
The swaying reeds indicated that there weren't many people on the other side, probably only about five to ten. The number of enemies matched theirs.
...
When the first figure drilled out of the reeds, all the onlookers became stunned.
There were a total of six people who came out. They were neither iron-armored demons nor demonized puppets; instead, they were some human fighters who looked extremely fatigued with messy hair and dirty faces in the same mountain battle suits.
Zhang Su's team didn't rush out; instead, they just watched them in the dark...
Among the few people who drilled out of the reeds, one of the skinny guys raised his neck, sniffed the air hard, and whispered something. The six people who had just emerged from the reeds immediately tensed up. They formed a circle and took out their weapons. They formed a circle and took out their weapons.
"We're the Demon Hunters from the Republic of Gouen. I'm the captain of this Demon Hunter team, Lieutenant Colonel Prague. Friends hiding around, can you come out and show yourselves? We're all humans. As we're all humans, could you let us pass? "A tall guy with a broad axe in hand asked in a muffled voice. A pair of bright eyes scanned the surroundings.
After making a hand gesture, Zhang Su and the other members of the squad stood up one after another.
"We're the No. 27 team of the elite special squad of Hurricane Corps of Huaiyuan Palace, Jinyun Country. I'm Zhang Su, the team leader of this team..."
According to the etiquette between soldiers, Zhang Su also introduced himself when he stood up.
At the sight of Zhang Su and those surrounding people, after hearing Zhang Su's name, those people became relaxed at once as they let out a deep sigh and put away their weapons.
"F * ck you! One week ago, a team of your Hurricane Corps set a fire in the mountain over 600 km away from here. If we didn't run faster than those demonized puppets, we would have been killed by f * cking adults! " The tough guy with an axe swore. After swearing, the tough man suddenly fixed his eyes on a small supply bag hanging on Zhang Su's waist as he swallowed his saliva forcefully for a couple of times.
Zhang Su didn't say anything; instead, he directly threw that supply bag which contained some dried meat towards him.
That tough guy caught Zhang Su's supply bag dexterously. After opening it, he took out some pieces of dried meat and distributed them to the others beside him. After that, he also took out one piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it.
"Anything else..." The tough guy asked vaguely as he chewed.
Zhang Su threw a glance at the two team members before throwing two more supply bags towards them.
"Are there only you in the demon hunting squad of Goon Republic? Where are the others?"
When the men heard this question, they fell silent and stopped chewing at the same time. The burly man's eyes were a little red, and he only said two words, "Dead!" After that, he started to tear the dried meat in his hand while gritting his teeth...
Zhang Su and the other members of his squad also became silent. Over the past 2 months, more than these people from Goon Republic had died in Kalay Mountain Range...
In less than two minutes, those people quickly ate the jerky in their hands, and a few of them seemed to be a little more energetic.
Zhang Su didn't open his mouth until they finished their food, "Where do you plan to go next? Back to Goon Republic?"
After being silent for a short while, Lieutenant Colonel Prague said, "The last message that our demon hunting squad received from our homeland was 1 month ago. A large-scale riot broke out in Goethe Republic. Overnight, the president disappeared. Most of the members of parliament had already escaped away. The Goethe Republic might have already perished. Since the news of the riot came, the regular supply from our homeland has been cut off. Therefore, we don't know where to go. As human fighters, we've already fulfilled our responsibilities. Demons will break through Kalay Mountain Range in 2 days. We just want to leave Kalay Mountain Range and this f * cking place …"
Watching those confused faces, Zhang Su's heart raced as he suddenly asked, "Do you want to join Hurricane Corps?"
"Do you want to continue fighting here?" After exchanging a glance with each other, Lieutenant Colonel Prague asked.
"No, we also want to evacuate from here. Our battle here has come to an end. We want to go back to Huaiyuan Prefecture!"
"What about the future? Do you still want to fight demons or escape?"
"Escape first. After that, we will find a chance to fight demons. The holy war has just begun!" Zhang Su replied straightforwardly.
Lieutenant Colonel Prague looked at his companions, who exchanged glances with each other. After exchanging a glance with each other, they all slightly nodded.
"Fine, we join you!"
"After joining Hurricane Corps, the corps will make an examination on your identity and background. I need to make it clear to you. If you have no problem with it, you will officially become active soldiers of Hurricane Corps. After that, you will gain positions that match your abilities. Now, we are leaving here. You have to follow my command for the time being. Do you agree? "
"Do you have food?"
"Yes, as much as you want!"
"What if we encounter demons? Who will go first?"
"Together. I will bring up the rear! "
"Yes, I agree!" Lieutenant Colonel Prague gave a military salute to Zhang Su solemnly. Zhang Su also gave a military salute to him solemnly.
The two teams gathered together. They didn't exchange any pleasantries and introduced themselves to each other. Under Zhang Su's command. They directly evacuated towards the south...
"Oh, how did you discover us just now?" Zhang Su asked Lieutenant Colonel Prague on the way.
"Jessie, his nose saved us more than once in Kalay Mountain Range!" Colonel Prague patted the shoulder of a short man in his team.
...
At midnight, after 7-8 hours' rapid march, Zhang Su finally led the 10-odd people away from Kalay Mountain Range.
The moment they left Kalay Mountain Range, they had felt something flying over their heads, making them speechless.
Everybody just gave a military salute to Zhang Tie solemnly once again. After that, they continued to retreat towards the south.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Tie and Zhang Su just made eye contact. They didn't talk nonsense at all.
Zhang Tie then watched Zhang Su's team leaving rapidly...
With a sound of wind, Lan elder of Lan Clan and an elder of Ou Clan of Jinyun Country who had been acquainted with Zhang Tie in Selnes Theater of Operations had landed on Zhang Tie's side at the same time.
The two people watched Zhang Tie with a dubious look at the same time.
They had also discovered the squad of fighters below just now. However, they didn't know why Zhang Tie would come down here.
Watching the two elders, Zhang Tie revealed a smile, "My cousin Zhang Su is down there. When I saw them, I came down here to greet them and let them go back as soon as possible!"
In the high altitude just now, it was not difficult for a knight to identify that someone was watching them down there. However, it was a bit amazing that Zhang Tie could identify that his cousin was still down there in the 3-in-1 battle order.
After exchanging a glance with each other, Lan elder and Ou elder both saw the amazement in each other's eyes.
"The vanguard of demonized puppets will set foot in the south of Kalay Mountain Range tomorrow. After being in the south of Kalay Mountain Range for over 1 month, it should be our last night here. Two squads of Lan Clan have not come out yet. It seems that they have sacrificed themselves in Kalay Mountain Range. After tonight, I will return to Jinyun Country tomorrow and arrange the evacuation of Lan corps. Waii Sub-continent is not Taixia Country after all. We should leave!" Lan elder sighed.
The elder of Ou Clan also slightly nodded, "As humans are not united in Waii Sub-continent, it has been completely lost. We should not stay here for long."
Watching the gloomy Kalay Mountain Range in the distance, Zhang Tie faintly frowned as he nodded. Over the past 2 months, the situation across the southern countries was indeed getting worse. When the vanguard of demonized puppets passed through the natural moat of Kalay Mountain Range and appeared in the south of Waii Sub-continent tomorrow, it would be the last straw that broke the camel's back...
Zhang Tie didn't know what would happen after tomorrow. However, he was sure that many people would die after tomorrow. Many people... Astronomy? Novels are better and updated faster!
