The First Order

When the barbarians who were preparing to charge saw the machine gun, they immediately went prone behind some cover they found.

Before the barbarians launched the surprise attack on the Pyro Company’s campsite, the two parties had already crossed swords many times on Mt. Dashi. Of course, if it weren’t for the appearance of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, their battles might have turned out to be even more intense.

P5092 knew that since he had led the main forces of the Pyro Company here, it was only a matter of time before the barbarians on Mt. Dashi were wiped out.

It was not only P5092 who was certain of this outcome. The barbarians were also well aware that they were on a suicide mission.

But as a suicide squad, their deaths would have to be for something. Therefore, killing a high-ranking Pyro Company officer was the most worthy thing they could do.

Every high-ranking commanding officer was a precious resource that an organization had to spend a lot of effort to train and nurture, so not just anyone could replace them. If their replacements’ standards were slightly lower, the acting commanding officer might very well threaten their chances in war, leading to a total defeat.

Therefore, killing a high-ranking officer was actually a very important matter that could prove fatal to the enemy.

However, before coming face to face with P5092, the barbarians were not expecting him to actually be anticipating their arrival.

To stall for time, they even left over a 100 of their companions in Longtan Canyon to throw off the enemy and delay the return of their main forces.

Before this, they had confirmed many times that the Pyro Company had sent out almost all of their main forces. But if the other party knew they would be coming, why did they still foolishly leave the camp empty?

So did the enemy really realize they were coming to attack? Or did they only realize it when they got out of the water and hastily set up a temporary machine gun position?

The barbarians’ centurion stared coldly at the machine gun position in front of him. There were only a few dozen troops there, and the defensive fortifications were extremely simple and disorderly. It did not look like they were prepared beforehand at all. He suddenly laughed and said, “It’s just a bluff.”

The centurion was certain the enemy had already realized the number of them in the canyon was not right. That was why they had taken precautions. However, wasn’t it a little too late for any precautions now?

A faint white glow appeared in the distant sky. It was going to be daylight soon!

“Men, make a detour and go around them. I’ll handle the firearms of these Central Plains people!” After that, the centurion started moving again. He estimated he only needed another two seconds to rush up to the machine gun position.

When the centurion started running, he became a testy brown bear sprinting. The machine gun started spitting out a barrage of fire. However, the centurion was extremely agile in his charge, and even the muzzle of the gun could not match his speed of movement!

Moreover, P5092 suddenly saw the centurion raise his hand and throw the huge axe in his hand. The axe whistled through the air and landed accurately on the machine gunner.

After the axe hit the machine gunner, it did not stop there. The machine gunner was sent flying backwards along with it, displaying just how terrifying that strength was!

When P5092 saw this, he frowned. “It seems there’s also powerful individuals among the barbarians. We have to report this matter to the higher-ups, lest we get fooled by them.”

Seeing that the machine gun had stopped firing, the centurion roared, “Charge!”

The other barbarians leaped out from behind cover like cheetahs and threw their giant axes at the camp. When the Pyro Company soldiers saw this, their scalps turned numb.

“Get down.” P5092 said calmly to the soldier next to him, “Your mission is over and you won’t have to participate in the next battle.”

With that, he actually caught an incoming axe and threw it back casually.

The power of this throw was much greater than when the opponent had thrown it!

The flying axe whizzed and landed squarely on the forehead of a barbarian!

This was the advantage of being a high-ranking officer of the Pyro Company. Perhaps it was even an advantage that most forces in the world could not match. That was because their officers were very powerful to begin with, and they never had to fear any so-called decapitation strikes.

But the centurion was already close to the camp. The other barbarians were also following close behind him.

If these people managed to get close to P5092, he would still die on the spot no matter how strong he was.

In a split second, the military tents in the camp collapsed. The barbarians were shocked to discover that nearly a 100 people were hiding in those tents!

Moreover, the centurion realized the people who had suddenly rushed out of the tents were even faster than him!

The centurion was planning to charge into the machine gun position and slaughter everyone, but his opponent arrived first and intercepted him before he could get there!

P5092 stood about ten meters away from him and said with a smile, “You’ve just walked right into our trap. T5081, I’ll leave these barbarians to you all.”

Even before he finished, T5081, who had rushed out of the tents at the back, came face to face with the centurion.

The centurion raised his hand and was about to swing his fist to receive T5081’s attack. However, T5081 was faster than him by a notch. Before the centurion could fully release his strength, T5081 had grabbed his arm and thrown him with great ease.

Just as they passed each other by, T5081 punched the centurion in his ribs at lightning speed. The punch almost knocked the wind out of the centurion and almost caused him to go into shock!

Although the centurion was strong, he was still no match for a T5 combatant.

Nearly a 100 Pyro Company soldiers had rushed out of the tents at the same time. They were all wearing the uniform of the special forces, and even their armbands were different from those of the regular soldiers.

So even the machine gun position in the camp was only a front P5092 had used to make the enemy lower their guard. The real trump card was the special forces hiding behind him led by T5081.

After receiving the order to head north, the special forces that had attacked Stronghold 31 and numbered several hundred troops were split into three groups and assigned to three different missions. The group led by T5081 was transferred to the main forces led by P5092 to collaborate temporarily with them.

The special forces of the Pyro Company had been holding back their anger all this time. When they were at Stronghold 31, they got criticized for being inept at whatever they did.

It was all because they were unable to personally complete the missions that required them to destroy the Kong Consortium’s intelligence agency, the secret prison, the normal prison, as well as to assassinate Kong Erdong.

They could only hold back their anger and try to fight this battle beautifully. They were determined to kill all of the barbarians in Mt. Dashi without leaving a single one alive.

Based on the initial plan, they were supposed to divide their forces in half and enter the wilderness to kill the barbarians before forcing the remaining ones to retreat into Longtan Canyon.

But before they could do anything, they heard the news that someone had already done what they were supposed to do.

Seeing the increasing number of barbarians the other party had killed in the mountains, T5081 even suspected it was the same group as the one that stole their kills in Stronghold 31.

T5081 even felt he might have been targeted.

At that time, P5092 consoled him with a laugh, “It’s not like this is the same group that stole your missions in Stronghold 31. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make sure you all claim the credit this time.”
