Due to the 3rd Division, almost all of the main forces were paying more attention to the battle updates after the fourth hour. Most of them wanted to know what the 3rd Division was doing and how they could wipe out nearly a thousand barbarians without suffering any casualties.
At this moment, the Pyro Company's six main forces were fanning out from six directions and advancing northward.
Although there were quite a lot of casualties, it was still within the acceptable range for the Pyro Company.
By the fifth hour, the sky had already turned dark, and the battle updates arrived as scheduled. The first thing the other five commanders did was to check on the 3rd Division's statistics.
In the end, the 3rd Division's statistics stagnated again during this hour. There were no changes at all.
This puzzled the other commanders. They had no idea what the 3rd Division was up to.
Logically speaking, even if there were no new battles in the past hour, they should have encountered some scattered barbarians along the way, right? But the 3rd Division's statistics did not change at all. Could it be that they had just stopped moving?
But by the sixth hour, the battle updates stated that the 3rd Division had wiped out over 3,000 barbarians within an hour after nightfall, while the 3rd Division only suffered a few dozen casualties!
This was a terrifying casualty rate. If the other main forces wanted to take out over 3,000 barbarians, they would still lose over 1,000 men no matter how smoothly the battle went.
This was how war worked. It was normal to expend one's own troops!
By the seventh hour, when the new battle updates were released, the other commanders were all dumbfounded. This was because the 3rd Division had taken first place with 12,000 barbarians killed. Moreover, during this hour, the 3rd Division's total number of barbarians killed had suddenly become first among all the main forces.
Although the war wasn't purely based on statistics, the P5 combatants were still secretly comparing each other. It wasn't time for them to be rewarded for their contributions yet. All they could see was the data on the battle report. What else could they compare if not this?
After all, the 3rd Division only had one infantry brigade, which was one-third the size of the other divisions!
In other words, the 3rd Division had fewer troops than the other main forces, but they could still kill more barbarians than them. This was very telling. Some of the staff officers of the main forces were thinking it was no wonder their commander always regarded P5092 as a potential competitor. He was indeed very powerful.
But even if he was powerful, it had to be logical, right? How did an infantry brigade of a few thousand people wipe out over 10,000 barbarians? Moreover, there were only a few hundred casualties!
No matter what happened on the 3rd Division's side, this was still a great victory!
All of a sudden, the other P5s felt a sense of urgency and immediately began to formulate their next battle plan.
However, the high-ranking commanders suddenly realized something. It seemed like it was because the Pyro Company's main forces were attacking too fiercely, or perhaps the barbarians had been blown up by the missiles, but the battle was getting smoother and smoother as night fell.
The originally fearless barbarians started retreating in defeat. The Pyro Company's main forces were like heavenly soldiers as they started chasing after the barbarians!
This gave the Pyro Company soldiers great confidence. The worried expressions on the P5 commanders' faces were also replaced with smiles.
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin was walking in the forest with a sniper rifle on her shoulder. She asked Ren Xiaosu, who was beside her, "Why do you suddenly look like you're in a hurry? You're practically leading that infantry brigade to kill the barbarians non-stop."
Ren Xiaosu replied, "I've always wanted to kill the barbarians. It's just that I want to kill them even more now. There's something I have to do, and that's to help my comrades relieve their tension within three hours."
"Is that your mission?" Yang Xiaojin asked curiously. This was the first time she had heard Ren Xiaosu mention it.
However, she was not surprised. After all, who would suddenly drag her out into the mountains for no reason if there was no mission?
Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, "I can't explain it to you in detail. I've tried a lot of ways to ease everyone's nerves. I can't do a talent show on my own, and I can't get the soldiers to perform either."
Yang Xiaojin was speechless. She thought to herself, 'You'll only make the soldiers even more nervous on the battlefield, alright?'
Right after, Ren Xiaosu said, "So I reconsidered how to complete this mission. What's the source of the soldiers' nervousness?"
Yang Xiaojin turned to look at him.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly said with certainty, "The source of their nervousness is the barbarians! That's why I'm wondering if they won't be nervous if we kill all the barbarians? Everyone is in the forest and doesn't know what they'll be facing in the future. Who wouldn't be nervous when an army of barbarians might appear at any moment? But once there are no more barbarians in this forest, won't everyone be able to relax? Do you think what I said makes sense? That's why we have to quickly kill all the barbarians! "
Yang Xiaojin thought about it and felt that there was indeed nothing wrong with this logic. Although it sounded rather hardcore, it was indeed a way to solve both the symptoms and the root of the problem. It went straight to the heart of the matter.
However, she suddenly said, "Have you ever considered that if you properly mobilize everyone for war, you can also ease their nervousness?"
"Is that so?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. "It's fine. We've already killed so many barbarians anyway, so let's continue down this path!"
As he spoke, Ren Xiaosu quickened his pace. "Come with me. Old Xu encountered a small group of barbarians. I've already gotten Old Xu to kill them all. Come with me to pick up the axes."
With Old Xu's current strength, even a T5 combatant would be crushed, let alone these barbarians.
At this moment, P5092's voice came over the radio. "Ren Xiaosu, what's your next plan?"
"Oh, I just encountered a small group of barbarians over here. Wait a moment," Ren Xiaosu said.
P5092 asked in puzzlement, "Which area are they in? Let's quickly head over to provide support."
"There's no need, I've already killed all of them."
These words echoed in everyone's minds on the radio. In fact, the 3rd Division had only engaged in one head-on battle in the last hour. For the rest of the time, they could only listen to Ren Xiaosu coldly reporting the number of barbarians he had killed over the radio. P5092 and the others did not even know where the barbarians were before they were killed by Ren Xiaosu.
This was a little different from their previous combat style. At the beginning, everyone was still cooperating and dividing up the work. They even felt quite involved in the battle.
But now, they really did not feel any sense of participation at all. Everyone just had to follow behind Ren Xiaosu and push forward. They could even chat along the way. In any case, the barbarians in front of them had already been killed by Ren Xiaosu.
P5092 suddenly felt that Ren Xiaosu's combat style seemed to have changed. It was as though he had been hiding his strength before, but now he was going all out.
The recon company's brethren expressed that they were not unfamiliar with this at all. They had also gone shopping like this the last time.
