When the Pyro Company's special forces appeared, it was already an indication that the siege on Mt. Dashi was nearing its end. The barbarians in Longtan Canyon were either dead or injured. Meanwhile, the last group of barbarians that managed to infiltrate Mt. Dashi were also surrounded by the T5 combatants.
As a matter of fact, the members of this special forces were all made up of T4 combatants. Even in terms of average strength, they could still crush the barbarians.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were secretly watching with their spotting scopes. They were separated from the campsite by the Qingyan River, which was about 700 meters away.
Before this, Ren Xiaosu had also guessed the barbarians would risk everything and attack the campsite. After all, it would not be surprising for a suicide squad to infiltrate the rear.
However, he was a step too late. By the time he arrived, the barbarians had already torn through the machine gun positions. Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin quickly searched for the best sniping position. But just as they found it, the T5 combatants charged out.
This reverse transfer was a little unexpected for Ren Xiaosu. He thought P5092 would not have any backup plans. However, he did not expect the barbarians to pose no threat to him at all.
During the battle at Mt. Dashi, P5092's early commands were very standard and steady. But at the end of the battle, he suddenly took an unconventional approach. It was truly spectacular.
Come to think of it, P5092 should be a rare commander in the Pyro Company.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu even wanted to try and replicate P5092's military command skills. He still had a Basic Skill Duplication Scroll with him.
However, they were more than 700 meters apart, so it was not enough for him to use the Skill Duplication Scroll. Moreover, if he really wanted to replicate this skill in the future, he could always look for Qing Zhen or Zhang Jinglin after accumulating enough Skill Duplication Scrolls. Those would be better targets to replicate.
When Yang Xiaojin saw Ren Xiaosu in a daze, she suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "Actually, even without the two of us, they could still wipe out all the barbarians in Mt. Dashi in one fell swoop. It might be a day or two later, but the result would be the same."
He sighed with emotion because he suddenly realized that in this battle, his role was more like the icing on the cake and not the timely help.
Faced with tens of thousands of barbarians heading south, the entire Central Plains would face a war between different races.
At that time, the Central Plainsmen might win in the end, but that would be the result of everyone's hard work, and it would definitely not be the credit of one or two people.
An individual's strength seemed insignificant in the face of an expeditionary army numbering in the tens of thousands. In this war, more P5092s were needed to step forward and display their intelligence to fight the barbarians to the end.
They also needed more Pyro Company soldiers to fight for the survival of humanity's Pyro Company.
Therefore, this war needed countless heroes, not just one or two.
Yang Xiaojin glanced at Ren Xiaosu. "Aren't we here to relieve the pressure on the medical center? What's the point of thinking so much? It's fine as long as we can make the doctors at the medical center less tired."
"That's right." Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "We're only here to fulfill our responsibilities as doctors. Let's go, let's retreat!"
With that, the two of them got up and headed back in the direction of the forward operating base.
At this moment, the sun had already risen from the east, and the golden-red light was shining down from the distant horizon. It seemed like today was no different from any other day in the past.
But the barbarian corpses in the wilderness, the dust on the soldiers' faces, and the bloodstains on their bodies reminded everyone that the real war had only just begun.
The fighting in the campsite had gradually come to a halt. P5092 just stood off to the side without any intention of helping.
He looked thoughtfully at the other side of the Qingyan River. A soldier next to him asked cautiously, "Sir, is there something wrong?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the sniper who killed the barbarians is probably on the other side of the river." P5092 said, "But they didn't make a move this time. I wonder who that person is and if we'll meet on the battlefield again in the future."
"Now that the battle with the barbarians is over, should we send more people to investigate their identities?" a staff officer asked.
"No need." P5092 shook his head. "It's better not to complicate things. Go and write a detailed battle report on this battle. I'll be submitting it to the higher-ups. This will be an important reference for our future dealings with the barbarians."
During the battle at Mt. Dashi, the barbarians had shown a shrewdness and cunning that did not match their bulky physique. They also displayed a fearless fighting style.
This made P5092 feel that the future battles might not go too smoothly. They would need to understand their enemies first before defeating them.
The T5 combatant slowly walked over to P5092's side after taking care of all the barbarians. "After the battle at Mt. Dashi, it's time for us to head north first. So our mission with the main forces has come to an end."
In terms of direct reporting, the special forces led by the T5 combatant were not under P5092's command. They were only considered to be working together. So after the mission was over, it was time for the T5 combatant to lead his men back to the main forces.
P5092 nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. Let's meet again on the northern battlefield."
"Take care," the T5 combatant replied.
Just as the T5 combatant was about to leave, P5092 suddenly asked, "By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you. If you were to face more than 40 barbarians alone with a sniper covering you from 600 meters away, would you be confident of killing all of them?"
The T5 combatant shook his head. "I can't do it. Some of these barbarians are already very close to the strength of a T4 combatant. It wouldn't be difficult for more than 40 of them to surround and kill a T5 combatant."
P5092 sighed. "Now that you mention it, I have to re-evaluate the person who helped us kill the barbarians this time. I wonder if it's a good or bad thing for such an expert to suddenly join the battlefield."
…
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin returned to the forward operating base with their backpacks that evening. When they entered the base, the soldiers at the entrance did not even check their IDs before letting them in. Furthermore, they even saluted and watched them leave. This made Ren Xiaosu very happy.
Wang Jing greeted them at the entrance of the medical center. "Have you gathered the medicinal herbs?"
"They're all here." Ren Xiaosu patted the backpack on his back and said with a smile, "The medicinal herbs I need are all around here. I'll just have to brew them tonight."
Actually, Ren Xiaosu's backpack was only filled with some very common medicinal herbs. As for brewing the black medicine, he could just pretend to do it.
"Did you have a smooth journey into the mountains to gather the medicinal herbs?" A young nurse next to them asked with concern, "We heard that there's a war going on at Mt. Dashi. You didn't go there, did you?"
"Hahaha, how could we possibly go to a dangerous place like Mt. Dashi?" Ren Xiaosu laughed it off. "Someone reminded us before we left. By the way, are there any injured people who have been saved up over the past few days? Hurry up and bring me there to treat them."
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that he had not earned any gratitude tokens for several days. Now that he could explain the source of the black medicine, he should hurry up and continue earning gratitude tokens!
But when he said that, everyone explained to him with a smile, "I don't know why, but there have been very few injured people sent to the medical center over the past two days. We didn't even see a single injured person today. You've just returned, so take a good rest. Don't worry, we've already treated all the injured people who needed to be treated. "
Ren Xiaosu was stunned on the spot. He had only been worried that he would tire out the doctors at the medical center, so he went to kill some barbarians to reduce the number of injured people.
However, he did not expect that he would go overboard with his killing. There wasn't even a single injured person today!
He had been too careless!
