Steel steam and flame

Like an old-fashioned camera, the sky flashes white light erratically under the action of lightning. In a heavy rainstorm, the dense raindrops were almost in contact with each other, but the strong wind finally found a small gap and squeezed in, making the raindrops more powerful and hitting the canopy layer with a loud "tapping" sound.

The snow melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the snow water mixed with the already cold rain. At first, it had frozen into a layer of ice on parts of the ground. In just a few minutes, all the snow and thin ice melted, dripping onto the dark ground inside the forest.

A group of people wearing outdoor automatic mimicry clothing shuttled between the ancient trees. The team formation was not considered dense, and the standard number of fifty people seemed sparse at the moment. They were moving very fast, and the coming heavy rain had made them no longer cover up the sound of their footsteps, nor pay attention to the traces left behind. The rain will wash away all traces in a short time. The "click-click" sound like a small forging hammer above the head has already covered up the footsteps, making it impossible to distinguish them at all. From time to time, there was a whistling sound of wind passing by. The virgin forest environment under the heavy rain has already relied on the power of nature to build a curtain to hide each other.

All members of the team wear an alloy steel helmet that is different from ordinary ones. There are various slots and small screw holes on the helmet for convenient installation of various module components. At this moment, on all the helmets, various auxiliary combat modules have been fixed according to their respective divisions of labor.

"Buzz..." A short, strange sound carried great penetrating power, covering the sound of rain and wind, and reached the ears of all members of the team. Following the gestures of the captains of each team, all fifty people hid behind the nearby ancient trees without even taking a breath. When the sound of "Buzz..." sounded again, the fifty people quickly began to divide the work. A team of ten people quickly rushed out from behind the ancient tree. While taking out special tools, they put high-explosive mines into them, and then observed the surrounding terrain. According to the distribution of ancient trees, by inserting it hard into several nodes and rotating and pulling out the special tool in a specific way, a mine has been placed.

Another team took off the individual combat artillery wrapped in rainproof cloth behind them, and while retreating, they loaded and calibrated the ammunition. The remaining members, the one with the heavy machine gun, found a place with a wide view. When he lay down, he twisted his body like a catfish, and the soil under him was like soft mud, just like that, and he was completely " "flooded" into the ground, leaving only a section of the barrel above the cross-flowing rainwater.

More people followed the training results that had already become instincts, some spread out, and some climbed up the ancient trees like apes. At this moment, most members of the entire team took out a package of tinfoil-like things, but thicker, like a thinned blanket, and one side also had a mimetic function. They either wrapped themselves or covered their weapons in it. Then, while raising their guns, they took out flash bombs or reinforced steel shell bombs and held them in their hands.

As the third "buzz" sound came, everyone had selected the auxiliary modules on the helmets. After that, all the movement disappeared with the sound of "buzz" and was mixed into the rain.

In less than a minute, another team came from the front. The several nodes where mines are laid cannot be ignored and have rich practical experience. As the landmine was triggered, a large amount of light burst out in this small dark space. Explosions sounded one after another, and then there was the sound of gunshots that slightly overwhelmed the "tat-tat" sound of raindrops. In less than a minute, the ground was dyed red with multiple mutilated corpses.

Accompanied by the sound of additional gunshots, the cross-flowing rain quickly washed away the blood on the ground, leaving only a body that was quickly frozen and turned white. In this environment, the role of corrosion bacteria is very small. According to the established practice, when the battle is over, whether it is one's own side or the enemy's, if conditions permit, the corpses will be gathered together, and the corrosive bacteria in the small glass bottle that everyone has will be used to make the body become a nutrient for the forest instead of becoming a forest. After becoming the food in the mouth of the second type of creature.

This team did not stop much, but spent a minute or two replenishing ammunition from the enemy's corpses. Soon after, they disappeared completely and continued to move quickly through the dark forest.

"With more than a dozen teams of this strength and quality, it is not impossible to slightly change the situation." After that team left, two people came from behind and stopped for a short time as if they were passing by. The rain poured down from the tree canopy, but it did not touch the bodies of the two people at all. When it was only a dozen centimeters away, the rainwater was swallowed up out of thin air.

"These are all elites selected from various units, and all have actual combat experience. They are also three-stage surgeons. How could there be a blockbuster here? If you want to bring them together, there is no one with great power above. It is impossible to suppress all kinds of information and secretly change the deployment process." General Pullman sighed, which reminded him of his past memories. And General Pullman was also surprised that the organization could actually get big figures in the empire and military to help.

However, as soon as his thoughts changed, General Pullman felt a headache when he thought that he was involved in the big event where these characters competed with each other because of the current Holy Emperor and Li Suman. If I were still in the empire, the military, and a star general before, I would naturally not be afraid of this kind of thing. On the contrary, I would be very willing to be involved so that I could have a reason to let them know that the fists are big and hard, the caliber is thick, and the ammunition is abundant. And strong means being able to speak freely.

But now, General Pullman no longer recalls it. After leaving the military, it took him a long time to forget the thinking patterns he had developed there and become ordinary.

"Why are you calling us back again?" Adolf confided his bitterness at the side. Fortunately, General Pullman was in exactly the same mood as him at the moment, and the two were on the same road.

"Why else..." General Pullman trailed off, "Someone must have discovered something, or the recent information gave them a premonition that there may be a possibility of bad results in the future, so they must do their best to change it. So as not to wait until someone comes back and finds you later.”

Adolf was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "We don't know anything. Master Hongmang also said that he was Soriato. Miss Tavel over there said that he was just a substitute. There is no difference between the two. There is no relationship, it’s just that they look alike.”

General Pullman shook his head, helpless. He knew that Li Suman was also scared, and as Li Suman, if she was really troubled by others, she would just deal with it by herself, and she would show off to him later, so that he owed her a favor. But if the other party is a crazy girl, Li Suman promises to tell her name to the crazy girl.

"Don't think too much about useless things. Ensuring that the surrounding teams move forward smoothly and then dragging down the opposing high-level surgeons is the best we can do. As for how to completely win this incident, then Naturally, Macquarie should consider and worry about it. Otto, the far-flung priest of the Holy Emperor's Hall, could be surrounded and killed by them. Although I don't know the specific details, since Otto is really dead, it shows the strength of our side. It’s not that we are at an absolute disadvantage.”

"Let's go..." General Pullman sighed. Of course, he still had information that he had not told, and that was that Li Suman had eliminated three dragon knights alone. Including the three-headed dragon, those were six real high-level combatants.

He couldn't express his feelings by being shocked. General Pullman was just glad that after hiding in a small country to cultivate his character, he would not be annoying to others, whether it was his words, attitude, or the intensity of his work.

The two continued to follow several surrounding teams, waiting for the battle involving high-level combat forces to begin. Not long after advancing, the two men suddenly caught a faint red light among the irregular white light of lightning.

Adolf was still thinking about what kind of thing or explosion it was, but General Pullman had already identified the direction and was preparing to speed up.

"Follow us, it's about to begin." General Pullman took a deep breath. Adolf may not be very familiar with this kind of light, but Pullman, who used to control the army, could instantly realize that this light was owned by a red-tube aircraft that would only be used during the war. "The determination of the Holy Emperor's Hall is really so great." So determined?"
