Chapter 777 Blood-Red Trench

Two days later, in the evening.

Six military personnel carriers arrived at Doomsday Academy. All 240 students from the six fifth-grade classes changed into dark yellow military uniforms. Most of the students from the other four grades did not leave after their club activities ended, but instead watched their seniors depart.

"It'll be my turn next year!"

"It is said that Commander Tongchuan personally went to the front line, and the Fu family, who are in charge of this rotation of troops, dispatched a Grand Elder, an A-level Source Power user!"

"The Fu family, isn't the President also surnamed Fu?"

Class A boarded the first troop carrier, Luo Yeli's little face covered in face paint, and sat with Jiang He.

"Rations consist of only one meal a day, and the weapons are standard Dawn models: entrenching tools, bandages, bayonets..."

Luo Yeli inspected the equipment one by one. Class A was incorporated into the Iron Wall Company. Their supplies were similar to those of the auxiliary army. She had no power to interfere with military mobilization, but internal mobilization of a few people was not a big problem.

"Dijiang, Lynx and Fisher will meet up with us at the front. The former has experience, and the latter will make bullets for you."

Jiang He calmly joked, "It's a bit pitiful."

Both being candidates for succession, Luo Chengying immediately provided three D-level Source Power users, while Luo Yeli had to train her subordinates from scratch, highlighting her awkward position within the organization.

Luo Yeli didn't care and casually said, "The quality of soldiers is more important than their quantity. I have you, that's enough."

Jiang He agreed, saying, "Vision is the most important thing."

He took a tactical pouch from his Moonshadow Ring and stuffed it into the silver-haired girl's arms. This was a digestive potion that she had prepared in advance. Each vial cost 120,000 contribution points, and there were fifty vials in total. It was one of the prohibited items according to the school's regulations. Its only function was to enhance the digestive power of the person who injected it, so that they would not need to go to the toilet.

"It's so good to be rich," Luo Yeli sighed, leaning against the car wall.

Without digestive medicine, she didn't know how to deal with the toilet problems on the front lines.

“Weakness. You’ve been kept by the Luo family,” Jiang He commented.

"Don't you need it?" Luo Yeli tilted her head, her big eyes filled with laughter. Come to think of it, she felt that she and the other person were already good friends.

Jiang He shook her head and replied, "I have a special talent for digestion."

Both earthworms and bats have some increase in digestive capacity, but not to the extent that they possess the necessary abilities.

boom!
In the northern part of the fortified city, one of the twelve gates rises.

The troop transport vehicle entered the wilderness and headed north along the national highway. Dusk had passed and night had fallen, with only the last rays of sunlight remaining on the horizon.

……

November 25th, 100th year of the Night Calendar.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Troop carriers arrived at the eastern flank front—Lüjiapo Village.

The driver was a quartermaster lieutenant. After getting out of the car, he handed over the duties to the garrison sergeant. Iron Mountain, the company commander of the Iron Wall Company, led several service officers to come in person. He was a graduate of the Doomsday Academy.

The order officer called out names one by one, and the forty men of Class A were divided into five groups, each heading to a different position.

“A5 team, Luo Yeli, Dijiang, Shan Sijin, Kuiwu, Mu Mu, and He Dui, the above six people step forward and report to position number 36. Shanmao and Feishe, you two together.”

Company Commander Tieshan assigned two second lieutenants as orderly and arranged ten men for Squad A1. It is reasonable to fill the vacancies now.

Jiang He sized up his four unfamiliar teammates.

Shan Sijin is a red-haired girl, petite in stature. Both Kuowu and Mu Mu are young men; the former is strong, while the latter is quiet. He is clearly younger than her and is most likely a player. She has the emblem of the Lost Ones Guild on her chest.

It's worth mentioning that, thanks to the existence of the King of the Era, the relationship between the three battlefields is not currently tense.

After a brief introduction, the A5 team was led by Lynx, the oldest member of the team and also possessing E-level strength.

The transfer of the Black Night Special Forces Brigade squad leader to a Class A military group is definitely a losing proposition, especially since Lynx's rank has now become a major. Without Luo Yeli's orders, he would never be here.

“Come with me,” the lynx called out.

Fisher skillfully handed Jiang He a cigarette. After the battle of Guanzhuang Town, he keenly realized that "Dijiang" was very likely also a player, and at least a master of unparalleled skills.

Under the cover of night, the ground in front of Lüjiapo Village is full of gullies.

The front trenches, support trenches, reserve trenches, and transportation trenches were intertwined, and the Iron Wall Company and two auxiliary companies were stationed here, totaling about 500 people.

Lynx led the group from the communication trenches to the front-line position No. 36. There had been a heavy rain recently, and the trenches were full of mud. Under the scarlet moonlight, some soldiers who were still awake cast their gazes, most of which fell on Luo Yeli and Shan Sijin.

"Get closer to me," Luo Yeli complained. "I feel like I'm going to be devoured alive."

Jiang He said calmly, "The casualty rate of the auxiliary army is estimated to be quite high. People who don't know what tomorrow will bring will not care about your Luo family identity."

Depressed, humid, anxious, uneasy, fearful.

This is a place where beautiful posters are riddled with holes, where rationality can easily slip out of control, and the discipline of the line-filling division, auxiliary troops, and even the Class A army groups is not worth expecting.

Eight men advanced through the trenches at the front.

Suddenly, Jiang He felt a slight stinging pain on the left side of her body.

The next moment, a shell landed between two trenches. The flash of the explosion was fleeting, but it instantly woke up the surrounding positions. Some soldiers on night duty ran quickly into the artillery shelter.

Lynx's expression changed slightly. "Why now!"

The quiet young man, Mu Mu, said with a stern face, "Before I left, my uncle told me that the vampires had intelligence about the Doomsday Academy. The fifth-year students are not yet used to the front line, and a large-scale charge could very well achieve great results."

The Mu family is one of the five great families of the fortress.

The fifth-year students of the academy are clearly elite talents. Once they combine theory with practice, they can at least become backbone non-commissioned officers.

North of Lüjiapo Village, opposite the entire Third Main Regiment, the elite regiment under the Noah Marquis family suddenly deployed all its artillery, with four artillery batteries taking turns firing.

The shells soared into the air and then slammed into the ground like heavy hammers. The enormous roar was like an invisible wall, crashing into the chests of countless soldiers and shaking their internal organs to the point of almost dislocation.

In a short while, shells came one after another, no longer individual explosions, but a continuous, deafening roar. The lynx opened its mouth wide and shouted, but it couldn't even hear its own voice.

The earth trembled violently, as if a giant beast was rolling and struggling underground. Sandbags on the trench walls shed soil with a rustling sound, and the log-supported roof shook incessantly, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Rumble!
The lynx sprinted forward, its energy projectiles, though not designed for powerful individuals, were still deadly to low-level energy users.

Six men rushed into the anti-artillery bunker at position number 36. Luo Yeli saw Jiang He standing still, lighting a cigarette. She trembled slightly but chose to stay.

"...Aren't you going to run?"

“I have a premonition that there is danger.”

Jiang He trusted the crisis instinct of seeing gods and said casually, "It looks like a gradual barrage, with artillery advancing to the bombardment points and infantry following closely behind. Soon it will be close combat."

Xu Jin's barrage tactics require a large amount of artillery ammunition to continuously suppress the enemy's defensive firepower in round after round, creating opportunities for his own soldiers to break through the battlefield. Charging is inevitable; otherwise, the shells will be wasted.

Fireworks burst open on the ground.

Jiang He raised the Dawn sniper rifle, the muzzle flashed four times, and four bullets swept across the battlefield, flying hundreds of meters and killing four vanguard members of the vampire army.

Given the current situation, there is naturally no need to use Bloodshed Dawn.

"Does the Tianqi satellite now record military achievements?"

"The Apocalypse System operates around the clock."

Luo Yeli felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck and realized that Jiang He had lifted her up. The two of them ran forward for dozens of meters.

Boom!

A mortar shell landed in the same spot, collapsing the sniper position.

To deal with snipers, medium-range firepower is usually used, and the muzzle flashes at night serve as bombing coordinates.

Jiang He threw away his cigarette. Protecting his employer through the assessment was only one aspect. In this war, he planned to collect a large number of military merits, at least an A-level, so as to upgrade the Blade Demon's combat power to B-level and also absorb blood essence on a large scale.

Without any prompting, Luo Yeli activated the forbidden item, the Crimson Scorpion, transforming into a humanoid venomous scorpion.

The artillery fire was still in effect.

Jiang He tried to activate echolocation, but the violent bursts of explosive currents overwhelmed the reconnaissance, rendering it almost ineffective.

Just as Luo Yeli was counting to 300, a figure leaped down from the trench, and sporadic gunfire rang out from the left and right positions, while the roars of sergeants echoed from the various artillery bunkers.

"Charge out, get moving!"

"Staying here is tantamount to waiting to die!"

"Charge! Charge!"

Figures leaped down from the trenches.

Xu Jin's barrage doesn't require exposing enemy firepower on a large scale; the leader of the charge is likely an elite force.

The moment the newcomer landed, he quickly pushed off the ground, drew his noble rapier from his waist, and thrust it straight in with fluid movements.

Whoosh!
Jiang He turned his head to dodge the thrust, then twisted his waist and abdomen violently, gathering all his strength into one, and unleashed a powerful whip kick that caused a series of explosions.

boom!
A whip-like kick came, and a fierce wind slashed at the face.

The vampire baron's eyes widened, and he immediately pulled back his arm to parry with his sword. But at that moment, the enemy's toes flashed with a metallic gleam. With a crisp sound, the noble's rapier shattered, and fragments flew like bullets, piercing his face.

In an instant.

Jiang He's boot soles triggered a turbulent surge of energy.

The Secret Technique: Wave Cannon is essentially an attack technique, but releasing it from the soles of the feet can accelerate the attack. If the acceleration method is appropriate, it can also be used for attack. How to control it depends entirely on the user's experience.

boom!
Waves of water shattered the vampire baron's skull.

The exchange had ended in a single move. Jiang He dodged a cold shot from behind, then swung his blade through the vampire baron's heart, completing the extraction of his blood essence.

A few meters away, Luo Yeli looked tense, but that didn't stop her from extending her right hand. The Forbidden Artifact - Dark Red Scorpion became active, and a long scorpion tail shot out, covering a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and pierced straight through the chest of a vampire gunman.

"It seems like he was the one who fired the shot."

"do not mind."

Jiang He pulled out his revolver and fired six shots in quick succession from Tianyan's perspective.

Bang bang bang!
The six figures that jumped off the trench all died in mid-air. Vital points such as the eye sockets, sides of the skull, throats, and chests were targeted. Blood nobles need to have their blood cores and brains destroyed to die, a characteristic that ordinary vampires and hybrids do not have.

Whoosh!
A rocket swept across the trench.

Jiang He touched the trench wall with one hand, and five meters in front of him, a steel spike suddenly emerged, blocking the path of the rocket.

boom!
Flames burst forth, unleashing a powerful outpouring of energy.

Jiang He casually pulled Luo Yeli behind him and released the secret technique, Death Declaration.

Within a radius of thirty meters, the heads of twelve vampire soldiers and high-ranking vampire servants exploded, resembling bursting watermelons.

A chaotic battle broke out in the front trenches, with squads rushing out of various anti-artillery bunkers and engaging in close combat. In fact, in such situations, bayonets and fists were the greatest weapons.

puff!

Luo Yeli controlled her four scorpion tails and killed her third enemy in her life. Her tension gradually subsided, and her mind went blank to some extent. Distinguishing friend from foe, dodging attacks, and launching sneak attacks filled her mind.

boom!
Three grenades were tied together and thrown into Luo Yeli's arms. The explosion blew her several meters away, where she crashed heavily against the trench wall.

Jiang He discarded two baron heads and came over to help the newbie. He judged that the grenade wouldn't hurt "Crimson Scorpion Queen," so he didn't make a move.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Luo Yeli cried out. "That's good, it should hurt..."

Jiang He suddenly turned his head. In his field of vision, the thirty-odd people at position number 36 were fighting, but there was no sound of "clicking" that he was hearing.

Boom!

A source energy shell shot out and landed at the entrance of the anti-tank bunker. The main battle tank's artillery fire arrived, and in the raging flames, shattered corpses flew everywhere, and blood rained down all around. The temporary position of a dozen people was destroyed.

"Tanks!" Lynx shouted.

Three tanks arrived at the barbed wire. The armor of these main battle tanks is basically made of extraordinary materials, which can effectively defend against attacks from low-level source energy users.

Objectively speaking, due to the differential treatment of different races such as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, vampires occupied a larger area of ​​wilderness, and the abundant resources determined that the armored forces of vampires were superior to those of humans.

Centered around three main battle tanks, the vampire assault force constructed a makeshift position on the trenches. From this high vantage point, several heavy machine guns fired in a crossfire, preventing the Iron Wall Company from even showing its face.

Bang bang bang!
Machine gun fire swept back and forth over everyone's heads in the trench.

At position 36, Jiang He stepped onto the trench wall, leaping out of the trench. On his tactical short sword, he charged up the Secret Technique: Wave Blade to its maximum power, and then unleashed a slash.

Wow!
In mid-air, the violent shockwave detached from the blade, and an invisible blade nearly two meters high cleaved the ground, cutting through rocks, sandbags, machine guns, and human bodies, ultimately splitting the main battle tank from front to back, causing a deafening explosion.

—Secret Technique: Wave Blade Slash.

"Five D-level military merits!" Luo Yeli glanced at the communicator; this was the number recorded by the Apocalypse System.

In the flames of the exploding tank, a dark figure emerged like a cheetah, swift and ferocious, its body enveloped in a bloody aura that accentuated its humanoid silhouette.

Clang!
The vampire viscount was still thirty or forty meters away from Jiang He when he drew his sword and thrust it straight at her. Talent Sequence No. 95 - Blood Banquet was activated, and a thin and sharp dark red sword light emerged, hitting Jiang He who was falling in mid-air.

A dark red ribbon shattered his heart and burst forth from his body.

Jiang He landed and spat out a mouthful of blood. The power of the Fantasy Regeneration Gene was activated, and the reconstruction of flesh and blood began, rapidly weaving the shape of a heart. Blood began to pump again, bones grew, and skin covered the body. This self-healing ability even surpassed that of higher-level vampires.

Swish!
In the trench, Jiang He charged into the trench wall in front of him, using his mastery of earth to create a steel-like force that turned the rock strata in front of him into molten steel.

On the ground, the vampire viscount stood up and frowned. In that brief moment, he hadn't seen the panic in the enemy's eyes at all. It was just an E-level source energy user, yet it made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Boom!
The ground beneath him suddenly collapsed, and a tactical dagger shot out from below, piercing the vampire viscount's chin and exiting through his nasal cavity, drawing out handfuls of blood.

"Damn it!"

The vampire viscount was startled and angrily attacked, unleashing his Blood Banquet talent at full power. He released the secret technique Blood Explosion, pouring his energy into the soles of his feet. Excessively boiling blood violently erupted from his body, forming a scorching blood mist.

Whoosh!
The vampire viscount was stunned.

The scorching blood mist kept pouring into the crater in the ground, but out of the corner of my eye, the tactical short knife above my head was suddenly grasped by someone. This was a rare spatial power.

Jiang He suddenly appeared above the enemy, wielding his sword and sweeping it horizontally, severing the head of the vampire viscount. Immediately afterward, he landed and cleaved the headless corpse in two, the two swords forming a cross, completely ending the vampire viscount's life.

[Speed: E+ → D-]
The next moment, Jiang He disappeared again.

Inside the trench of position 36, the silver-haired girl swayed. Without a source power level, the consumption and difficulty of controlling a forbidden object were unimaginable. After killing four enemies, Luo Yeli felt dizzy and fell backward, but was caught by someone reaching out to support her.

"Take a break, I'll pick you up after I'm done," Jiang He said.

Luo Yeli looked puzzled. What was this guy talking about?

In a split second, Jiang He completed two flashes.

With his first flash, he returned to the island in the lake within the fortress city, and arrived at the villa, next to the water glass marked with the ouroboros symbol.

With the second flash, he swapped spatial positions with Luo Yeli at the front line, sending the silver-haired girl back to the rear while he returned to the front line himself.

The air was filled with the sounds of artillery fire and gunfire.

A main force and a minion battalion of vampires charged the trench lines, with flashes of fire and gunfire visible everywhere.

"This level of intensity is a bit too outrageous, even for students of the Doomsday Academy."

Jiang He suspected that someone had already betrayed Luo Yeli. Five barons, three tanks, and a viscount had appeared in front of position number 36. It was unnecessary to deploy such a force to deal with a student class and twenty or thirty people. The fact that the Luo family's successor candidate was here was perhaps an even bigger reason.

"That aligns with our previous guesses."

As Luo Yeli disappeared, the tracks of the two main battle tanks began to turn, advancing towards positions 35 and 37.

"Who exposed her location?" Jiang He frowned.

……

Inside the anti-artillery cave, player "和对" touches the ground with his fingertips.

The battlefield is a very dangerous place, but it is not unfamiliar to heroes and heroes.

"Of the seven candidates from the Luo family, Luo Zhengzong is the rightful heir, Luo Chengying's forbidden item is very attractive to those with source power, Luo Yeli has the most outstanding talent, and the other three should not be underestimated."

“Relatively speaking, Luo Yeli is the easiest to be eliminated, and the one who should be eliminated the most. Once the second awakening of Listening to All Things is completed, this guy will probably become a high-level Source Power user in one fell swoop.”

As he silently locked onto the target's location, his innate talent, Serpent Eyes, ranked 355th in the sequence, was not very offensive, but possessed a highly penetrating thermal imaging field of vision.

Suddenly, He Dui's expression changed slightly.

"How...did he disappear!"

He immediately contacted his guild leader, because he had used a basic identity upgrade card before his arrival, and she had now become Luo Jianxin, the heir of the Luo family, and one of only two women among the seven heirs.

Within the team channel, messages can be edited quickly.

In order to attack position 36, the opposing collaborator "Blackblood Sir" bore a lot of pressure. After all, the only offspring of the vampire count was not the count.

Suddenly, a steel spike rose up in front of me, and on the surface of the spike was engraved the ouroboros emblem.

He was startled by her gaze, stood up, and retreated abruptly.

But the newcomer was even faster. The instant he landed, an invisible blade two meters high flew out, cleaving the enemy in two. The F-level Source Power user was powerless to retaliate against this move.

"Giggle..."

A light and cheerful laugh rang out.

Although he was completely dead, his eyeballs seemed to come alive, emitting a woman's laughter.

The Lost Ones Guild's members' abilities are primarily related to their eyes, symbolizing guidance for those who have lost their way. At its peak, the guild leader's eyes could reside within trees, rivers, and clouds. After the hero's reincarnation, the abilities were recreated, but their effectiveness was greatly reduced, and he could only share his vision with his subordinates.

More than half of the lost individuals do not mind revealing their identities.

The battle for the world is like a dark forest, and the Lost Guild Master has mastered the power of the Box-Opening Killer.

"Airspeed Killer, Dijiang".

"Leave Luo Yeli and come to my side."

"Whether you are a chosen one or a native, as long as you come to my side, I will pardon your crime of assassinating Luo Yangtian."

Jiang He crushed the eyeball, her expression remaining calm.

If the Demon of the Blade is strengthened to B-rank and the bloodline issue of Luo Yeli is resolved, Luo Yangtian's death will be no big deal. At worst, he will simply fill the vacant position.

"The Security Agency is not qualified to try me. Officers of the Night Special Forces Brigade belong to military courts, but courts do not hear cases during wartime. As long as I become stronger in this war, everything will be fine, and becoming stronger is nothing more than killing."

"In that case, there's no need to hide the Flying Void Technique anymore."

Jiang He found a shotgun. He didn't really hide his use of the Void Technique, but he didn't activate it in front of everyone. As for the Apocalypse Satellite monitoring, it was always handled by Luo Yeli.

……

"Headquarters, the Iron Wall Company requests backup!"

Inside the prepared trench, Company Commander Tieshan roared into the communicator. The casualty figures handed over by the service officer showed that the auxiliary company had suffered heavy casualties and was in complete rout. The three forward positions, No. 35 and No. 37, had been breached, and two main battle tanks had crossed the front trench.

"Regimental headquarters received. As decided by the staff, the regimental headquarters has notified the field company that the artillery battalion will provide reinforcements. Please hold on for 25 minutes."

Company Commander Tieshan's face was somewhat ashen. As a veteran, he understood the regimental headquarters' thinking. The enemy's charge was sudden. Rather than adopting piecemeal tactics for the Iron Wall Company, it would be better to use them as bait and wait for the enemy to concentrate on the position before directly bombarding the ground with artillery.

Two companies for two battalions—it's a huge profit no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, the position will not be lost, which is a win-win situation for everyone.

"Damn it, how am I going to explain this to the school!"

Company Commander Tieshan cursed under his breath. His career was inextricably linked to the Doomsday Academy faction. Now that Class A of the fifth grade was on the front lines, with the military's grand strategy backing them, the regimental headquarters could disregard it, but the academy would inevitably harbor resentment.

After all, it's rare to get into the Iron Wall Company through connections only to have the entire company wiped out in battle.

"Give me my sword. If I don't get a scratch, it looks like I won't make it through today!"

Under the cover of night, the crimson moon shone like blood, and artillery fire raged everywhere.

Gunfire flashed across the battlefield like stars.

Company Commander Tieshan led several Source Power users as his personal guards out of the prepared trenches. Before they could charge, a very subtle streak of light swept across most of the battlefield and hit the tank on position number 37.

The high-level source energy sniper rifle fired a D-level source energy bullet, instantly penetrating the tank's armor at a distance of two kilometers.

The Void Technique activated the emblem on the Source Force warhead.

The next moment, chaos erupted inside the tank as uninvited guests broke in, causing a series of horrific screams. The instant the top cover was flung open, someone picked up a shotgun and opened fire on the two platoons of vampire infantrymen surrounding the tank.

Bang bang bang!
The Dawn standard anti-infantry shotgun, with each bullet containing hundreds of tungsten alloy pellets, killed or wounded more than a dozen people in just four shots, but also provoked a unified counterattack from the vampire infantry.

Countless gun flashes.

Company Commander Tieshan couldn't help but sigh.

This must be a sniper's signal from the Night Special Forces brigade. It prompted the spies inside the tank to risk exposing their identities in order to stop the tank from advancing. Such a spirit of sacrifice deserves an Iron Cross from the military, but there is no one who can escape it.

But the next moment, Company Commander Tieshan's eyes widened, his expression one of extreme horror.

"what's the situation!"

Whoosh!
The shooter vanished from the spot, the bullet striking the original location with a clang, sparks flying everywhere.

Under the crimson moon, a ghostly figure moved back and forth between two infantry platoons. Every tungsten alloy bullet that landed was marked with the ouroboros symbol after being reloaded.

The divine is indestructible; the universe operates at full capacity.

Jiang He kept appearing in the background.

The tactical dagger slit the throat, pierced the heart, plunged into the eye socket, and tore through the chest and abdomen. The blade gleamed brilliantly, like a spider web rapidly weaving and intertwining. Strands of afterimages of the blade's light enveloped the surroundings. Blood, flesh, and screams mingled together, creating a scene resembling hell.

Swish swish!
In half a minute, Jiang He made seventy-two stabs.

Two platoons of vampire infantry, including four vampire barons, were all killed.

Company Commander Tieshan was dumbfounded. He naturally knew about the Air Speed ​​Killer. It was suspected to be the original talent 13 - Spatial Blink. It was among the top twenty-two talents in the talent sequence, all of which were extremely powerful and of equal strength. Their future potential was generally recognized as at least A-level, and they had a bright future. They would be star figures as soon as they appeared.

In the history of the Night, the last person to grow into an S-class demigod, "Spatial Blink," left behind a Tarot-class forbidden artifact—the Moon Shadow Gate—after his death, which is now personally held by the Night Special Forces Brigade Commander.

Position 37 was recaptured, and main battle tanks were captured.

On the battlefield, two vampire viscounts charged at Jiang He simultaneously.

"I'll go help, you guys reinforce position 35!"

Company Commander Tieshan unleashed his full speed and intercepted one person directly. He was a D-level Source Power user, on the same level as a vampire viscount. As for the C-level and vampire counts, they were currently the main force in the street fighting in Majui County and were unlikely to appear on the flanks.
