Chapter 371 World Chapter: Squatting, Counter-squatting, and Being Counter-squatted (Part )

Canyon battlefield, top road front line.

The brutal battle continued endlessly, but compared to the previous evenly matched situation, this time the two armies were clearly superior to the soldiers from the Glory Federation.

The soldier leading this main force numbered "8" is Cheng Wu, one of the 256 centurions in the Glory Federation.

Cheng Wu's hometown is Wei State. As a former black soldier of Wei State, he had the honor of witnessing the whole process of Wang Yao, who was then a captain of a thousand men, commanding his troops to fight. In fact, the two of them had never had any intersection, but to some extent, Wang Yao had deeply influenced Cheng Wu and made him what he is today.

The initial glimpse made Cheng Wu realize that as long as they were properly commanded, their soldiers could also have sufficiently strong combat capabilities.

Whether an army is strong often depends on the ability of its generals.

Unlike the Qin soldiers whose formation was disorganized, under the command of Cheng Wu, the 8th Main Force of the Federal Corps advanced and retreated in an orderly manner with a clear division of labor; the melee soldiers holding shields formed a barrier to provide cover in the front, the archers in the middle were responsible for interfering with and blocking the enemy troops that were about to rush over, and the female magic soldiers standing at the back, with a unified rhythm, madly concentrated their fire on the Qin magic soldiers who were gathered in twos and threes.

This method of prioritizing the elimination of magic soldiers with long-range lethality is quite similar to Wang Yao's style back then, and it is still effective even today.

Under strict arrangements, the federal soldiers of the 8th main force seemed to be in a tight formation, but there was enough space between each soldier to dodge and move, and each collective attack by the magic female soldiers frequently caused heavy casualties to the rear of the Qin soldiers.

On the other hand, as the opponent, facing the attack of the golden-armored troops in front of them, the Qin soldiers were shocked and frightened at this moment. They could neither rush up to fight in close combat, nor organize a counterattack without a unified command. In the end, they could only continue to be beaten passively!

Afterwards, the battle lasted only about fifteen minutes. Relying on excellent tactics, the Qin soldiers were defeated by nearly one third without any contact between the two sides, especially the long-range magic troops, which were basically wiped out.

"Everyone obeys!"

Seeing that the situation was in his favor, Cheng Wu immediately raised the long sword in his hand, pointed it at the enemy army that had begun to collapse, and shouted loudly: "Shield soldiers, charge with all your strength, tear their formation in the middle, divide them into two parts, and then encircle and attack them one by one!"

Hearing Cheng Wu's command, all the melee soldiers of the 8th Main Force, who had been ready for battle, suddenly started roaring and shouting at the top of their lungs, and launched a terrifying charge against the Qin troops who had been beaten without any chance of fighting back, like a tiger descending from a mountain!

Victory seemed within reach, but—

Hey!
puff.
Accompanied by muffled gunshots and the creepy sound of flesh being pierced by sharp objects, a golden particle as fast as lightning passed through the dense crowd and pierced Cheng Wu's chest with incredible accuracy before anyone could react.

This was totally unexpected bad news, and everyone was stunned.

"Well?!!"

Cheng Wu only felt a sudden numbness in his chest, and then when a sharp pain came, his whole body fell backwards onto the snow. In just a moment, blood had overflowed around him.

A horrific bloody hole appeared in the center of his chest. No matter how you looked at it, it was a fatal injury!

"Brother!!" Amidst an extremely mournful cry, a younger centurion turned around and rushed to Cheng Wu's side.

But Cheng Wu did not look at his brother Cheng Wen. Instead, he stubbornly raised his head and looked in the direction of Qin Jun in disbelief.

There, a short yellow mechanical creature was holding a strange weapon that was shaped like a shark's mouth and looked like a crossbow but was not a crossbow, pointing it at him - the mechanical creature - Luban No. 7.

There was still the same smile on its face, but now it seemed so terrifying, as if a ghost doll in a horror movie was smiling silently at the characters in the movie, or as if it was mocking Cheng Wu's weakness and humility.

"Oh" At that moment, Cheng Wu showed a miserable smile.

It is so unfair, but the reality is so cruel; in front of heroes, no matter how lofty their ideals or how outstanding their talents are, being killed is just a matter of the heroes moving their fingers!
“Cheng Chengwen!”

In despair, the dying Cheng Wu trembled as he stretched out his bloody hands and tightly grasped his brother's collar. A lot of black blood kept pouring out of the corners of his mouth, but his expression was still firm: "You have to live and take good care of our father and mother, as well as your nephews and nieces."

After speaking his last wish with great difficulty, Cheng Wu, whose breastplate and sternum were pierced, finally took his last breath and died young.

Cheng Wu had his own family two years ago, but now, because of this war, he will forever sleep in this canyon battlefield, and his children will become orphans.
Of course, perhaps he would have no regrets until his death, because Cheng Wu had long known that the reason he was here was to save his children from the suffering of war in the future; perhaps his sacrifice was insignificant, but if his sacrifice was one of the thousands of bricks needed to build peace, even if it was not worth mentioning, he would choose to die without hesitation!

This is his belief and honor as a soldier, and it has nothing to do with whether he can become a hero.

Cheng Wen just silently looked at his brother's face, which was breathless but looked very peaceful. He could only bury his face deeply in Cheng Wu's chest with great sorrow. Then, he let go of the corpse and stared at Lu Ban No. 7 in the distance with a look of extreme resentment.

"Everyone keep charging! Even if we lose some teeth today, our 8th Main Force will bite off a piece of flesh from them!!" After continuing to command the troops on behalf of his brother, Cheng Wen, with red eyes, immediately grabbed the sword left by Cheng Wu and rushed towards the enemy with the troops.

"For our glory, kill!!"

"Revenge for the thousand-man commander!!"

Amid the flying dust, there were shouts and cries of killing; the angry golden crowd crushed the Qin army like a swarm of locusts, madly devouring the enemies one by one. Cheng Wen, who was among them, killed three or four Qin soldiers in a row, and then rushed to Lu Ban No. 7 with a fearless attitude of death.

If looks could kill, I believe Luban No. 7 would have exploded on the spot long ago!
However, facing the murderous Cheng Wen, Luban No. 7, who was more than a head shorter than him, did not dodge. He just pointed at the sky and his square mouth kept opening and closing, and then he let out a child-like scream: "Look! There's a plane in the sky~!"

"What a joke!!" Cheng Wen, who suddenly felt humiliated and despised, was so angry that he raised the butcher knife in his hand and chopped at Luban No. 7 with all his strength.

"Die, you monsters!!"

Bang!

Along with the roar came the clanging sound of metal breaking.

Cheng Wen was stunned, because the sword that was about to hit Lu Ban No. 7's head suddenly broke!

"How. How could it be?!"

Cheng Wen took two steps back as if possessed by a demon, staring at the broken sword in his hand in horror. He had not expected that his full-strength attack not only failed to cause any damage to the enemy, but even broke the weapon!
Why did such a terrible monster appear in this world?

Unconsciously, the soldier's eyes were filled with two lines of hot tears that could not be controlled; they were filled with despair, humiliation, and unwillingness.
We are all human beings, so why is there such a huge gap between soldiers and heroes? This is unfair!!
Perhaps because the blow was too great, Cheng Wen did not notice that the attacked Luban No. 7 had turned around and pointed the muzzle of the gun in his hand at his forehead.

Hey!
In the golden flames produced by the burning gunpowder, a bullet shot out from the muzzle of the gun in Luban No. 100's hand and went straight through Cheng Wen's forehead. The powerful impact even blew open the back of his skull, and the red and white brain matter sprayed backwards - and as Cheng Wen's body fell heavily to the snow, at the same time, amid bursts of violent roars, a huge black shadow also covered the ground within a range of meters!

The federal soldiers of the 8th Main Force who were fighting the enemy subconsciously stopped their actions and looked up at the sky, and then - their faces turned ashen.

What was looming over their heads at the moment was not some dark clouds, but a huge mechanical creature as big as a hill, strangely soaring in the air. It looked like a pufferfish that was inflated with air, and it was looking down at the tiny them ferociously.

3rd skill: [Air support].

Luban No. 14 summons a puffer airship to provide air support in the specified direction. The puffer airship will illuminate the field of vision and drop bombs at random enemies within the range every second, lasting up to seconds!
"Disperse! Everyone, disperse!" A centurion of the Federation immediately gave the order, but it was too late -

Because amid the piercing sound of breaking through the air, countless shells had begun to fall into the crowd like raindrops.

Whoosh—boom, gurgle, boom—

Flame mushroom clouds that were strong enough to roast a person instantly rose from the front line like bamboo shoots after rain, and the earth instantly became a deadly sea of ​​fire! Countless shells kept falling and exploding. Wherever they passed, the crowd wailed and screamed. Some people were engulfed by the flames, some were torn apart by the aftermath of the explosion, and some were even blown into pieces on the spot.

The earth has become a bloody hell on earth, as if it were the end of the world.

Just 14 seconds later, under the carpet bombing, the main force that originally had 1000 people was reduced to less than 300 people; a terrible fact is that even if thousands of soldiers gathered together, the heroes could defeat them without any effort!

The troops, which were originally under strict command, collapsed in an instant, while in contrast, the morale of the Qin troops was greatly boosted!

"Haha! Brothers, here comes the chance!!"

"These sons of bitches are no longer capable of fighting!!"

"Kill all these bastards! Destroy their defense towers!!"

Amid the brutal roars, the Qin soldiers who had been suppressed and extremely angry in front of them immediately launched a fierce counterattack!
Amidst the swordplay, the situation was completely reversed in an instant just because of the intervention of a hero; the remaining soldiers of the 8th main force suffered a baptism of blood and rain. They not only had to resist the attacks of the Qin soldiers, but also had to face the long-range attacks of a hero!

With the high-frequency operation of each precision joint, the puppet Luban No. 7 was like a modern soldier with agility and accurate shooting skills. He kept shooting and harvesting the lives of the federal soldiers. From time to time, he would take out a larger submachine gun from the small wooden box on his back and shoot at the crowd crazily. Although the remaining federal soldiers wanted to stop Luban No. 7, they often fell in the violent rain of bullets before they could get close. The armor that should have been extremely strong became like tofu dregs in front of Luban No. 7's bullets!

And just like that, the 8th Federal Main Force met their final end; total annihilation.

This was supposed to be a battle that could have been won, but in the end, all the soldiers died in this canyon. It was really sad.
After killing all the Federation soldiers, the remaining Qin soldiers began to target the Federation's first defense tower on the road.

Destroying the enemy's defense tower is a supreme honor for the soldiers. In the Qin State, there is a rumor that "destroying 100 defense towers can make you a hero." Therefore, after destroying the enemy, the Qin soldiers began to attack the Federation's first defense tower like wolves seeing meat.

But just as the Qin soldiers were about to rush to the bottom of the defense tower, the sky above their heads suddenly darkened without warning!

No, strictly speaking, it was not that the sky darkened, but that the "light" that suddenly appeared in front was too dazzling. Its brightness even overshadowed the sky!
"what's the situation?"

"What is that? The sun?"

"Wait, that's!!"

In fact, it was not a light, but a sword energy! A terrifying giant sword wave of bright blue color, 10 meters high!
1st skill [Empty Slash]——

Boom!
From its appearance to its approach, the super-giant sword energy arrived almost instantly. As it advanced, it cut a gully in the thick earth and also split the Qin troops that were about to rush over to destroy the defense tower in half! Hundreds of Qin soldiers who were hit head-on did not even have time to dodge, and were completely shredded into bloody pieces by the extremely fierce and sharp sword energy!
Not only that, even if they were not hit head-on, those Qin soldiers who were within two meters of the giant sword energy were also affected!
This was a terrifying scene, just like a level 200 typhoon sweeping past. Amid countless screams, Qin soldiers were ruthlessly blown into the air by the surging and violent air waves brought by the giant sword wave!

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color! The sky was densely packed with tumbling figures. From a distance, it looked like a flock of crows circling in the air!

"It's windy! I'm scared!!" Amidst the exaggerated screams, Luban No. 7 ran away on his own, and at the critical moment, he finally avoided the deadly aftermath of the sword energy without any danger.

after that.

Ta-ta-ta, ta-boom—

As the Qin soldiers who were blown into the air fell from the sky one by one and hit the ground like raindrops and died, a middle-aged man holding a golden and blue double sword slowly walked out from behind the federal defense tower.

“The loneliest thing in the world is being invincible!”

Accompanied by a low self-talk, the swordsman from the foreign land of Fusang stood still, with the blue sword in his right hand on his shoulder, and the golden long sword in his left hand pointed directly at Luban No. 7 in the air——

Miyamoto Musashi's expression was calm, but his sharp eyes were filled with an extremely strong murderous intent: "Little dwarf, I advise you not to be too arrogant."

In response to this threatening provocation, Luban No. 7 scratched his head and said, "Well, I have to admit that sometimes muscles are more useful than brains~"

at the same time--

In a corner behind Miyamoto Musashi, a swift blue and white shadow, taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was drawn, swiftly slipped into the bushes beside the defense tower along the blind spot.

That is the Kamui Itto, Tachibana Ukyo.

According to Wang Yao's instructions, just in case, Tachibana Ukyo will hide in the bushes before the battle officially starts, so as to cooperate with Miyamoto Musashi in the front to launch a fatal attack on Luban No. 7!
This is a very safe arrangement. If you don't want to kill the enemy with one strike, then you might as well not go to the trouble of ambush the enemy.

But what Tachibana Ukyo never expected was that just as he entered the bushes, a strange and tall figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"?!!"

Why is there someone in the bushes that should be empty? !

Tachibana Ukyo was shocked and at the same time, he pressed his right hand directly on the hilt of the sword at his waist, as if facing a powerful enemy.

In the lush grass ahead, I saw a man covered with scales and carrying a 3-meter giant sickle on his shoulder. He was standing there hunched over quietly. Although he did not move, his whole body exuded an extremely dangerous aura; he was like a beast that had been ready to launch a fatal attack on its prey in the next second!
