The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 17 Too many Fear Knights, we can't hold on much longer!

"Holy crap, did someone just shout 'powered armored soldiers'? Are those bastards back again?"

A player had just stabbed a Black Hawk soldier charging at him with his bayonet when he suddenly heard Andrei's shout and looked into the depths of the smoke with some confusion.

Just then, another player ran over and shouted:

"Brother Pig, the NPC is giving us a warning! Grab your grenades and get ready for a bayonet charge!"

Upon hearing this title, the player from before immediately turned pale.

He regretted naming his ID "Blue-haired White-bellied Wild Boar." After seeing the ID, no one thought of the cat bug; they all really thought of him as a wild boar!

Without time to think, he quickly gripped the grenade and prepared to throw it forward. In the previous chaotic battle in the trenches, he and several other players had figured out the tactics for dealing with these powered armor soldiers.

These guys are basically like elite soldiers in a game, with incredibly high health, ferocious close-range firepower, and melee capabilities. They are a combination of sentries and trench warfare troops.

However, these guys have the same weakness as other soldiers: a barrage of grenades can blow them up, and bayonet charges can still achieve the effect of equality for all. One bayonet strike and no matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, they will die!

So as long as you prepare in advance and don't give these guys any room to maneuver, powered armored soldiers aren't actually that hard to kill.

But at that moment, the player at the forefront of the charge suddenly flashed, and at the same time, a series of rapid conversations suddenly appeared in the chat area:

Know-Me-Heavenly Venerable: [Holy crap, I got cleaved in two by that damned Fear Knight! Quick, get a medic to revive me!]

[Watch out, everyone behind! I see a large group of power armor users coming from the other side, at least ten of them!]

Upon seeing this message in the chat area, other players quickly tensed up. So many powered armored enemy troops had rushed in at once; the pressure was immense!

But just then, another player suddenly shouted excitedly in the chat:
Rice Noodle Roll Cat: [Holy crap! Look what I got! The enemy dropped gear! And it's a flamethrower set!]

In the blink of an eye, the chat area was filled with "Holy crap!"

Players were puzzled; what exactly was going on?
They did get some equipment drops when they killed enemies, but these drops were just some of the weapons the enemies were carrying; there were some things they couldn't take.

For example, some players wanted to remove the power armor from defeated enemy soldiers and use it, but this option doesn't seem to be available in the game.

Andrei couldn't figure out why this was happening. Maybe it was because he was doing it wrong?

Regardless, this flamethrower suit can be considered the first elite equipment dropped in the game, naturally making players extremely envious.

Having quietly accomplished all of this, Andrei pretended that nothing had happened, claiming that he didn't know who had slipped him a flamethrower suit, which had inexplicably been dropped by an enemy corpse!

But secretly, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken because this piece of junk was really expensive!

He only needs to spend 100 influence points to summon or revive a player, but this elite soldier set requires 1000 influence points. It truly lives up to its name as an elite soldier!
After acquiring the Flamethrower Soldier, players of the Rice Noodle Cat class quickly gained a flamethrower, three incendiary bombs, and a stick that was essentially useless for melee combat.

At that moment, the players engaged in direct combat also shouted:

"Hurry, we need reinforcements! We can't hold out any longer!" "There are too many enemies!"

At this moment, the player said he was truly grateful!

It's one thing for a few elite soldiers like powered armored soldiers to appear at once, but what's with a dozen or so at once?

A volley of grenades was thrown, and they did seem to have blown up a few of them, but as soon as they turned around, a Dread Knight appeared from their side with a greatsword!

Perhaps out of concern for the Black Hawk soldiers who were still engaged in hand-to-hand combat with other Cambrian soldiers in the smoke, these Fear Knights did not use the parallel submachine guns on their wrists.

Even so, these guys' greatswords, combined with their speed, are enough to make them formidable enemies!
Before the three players could react, they were instantly cut down. The medic who had just rushed over to save a player had just used a small needle to scoop up one of his comrades when he was also cut down by the Dread Knight with two sword strikes.

These steel-willed men, capable of wielding two-handed greatswords with one hand and moving at lightning speed, are truly invincible in close combat!

"William, what are you looking for?"

A fear knight with a red feather in his hair and a golden cross on his shoulder shouted to his teammates behind him.

He was a little confused. With such a fierce hand-to-hand fight taking place here, what was this damned guy searching for on the ground?

"Sir, I'm looking for their needles. I saw with my own eyes that a guy was clearly killed by my sword, but the person who rushed over pricked him with a needle and brought him back to life. This must be some kind of necromancy tool!"

"If we take this back and hand it over to the Osiris School for research, it will surely be a great achievement!"

Is that right?

He was in charge of leading the charge and was so busy identifying who was the enemy and who was on his side in the smoke that he didn't have time to pay attention to such details.

But if they really had such excellent equipment and were able to capture it intact, its value might be much greater than the value of wiping out this group of fierce Cambrian soldiers.

So he ignored his comrades and prepared to continue attacking with his sword.

But just then, two grenades suddenly emerged from the smoke and hurtled straight toward them.

From the very beginning, the few Dread Knights here didn't take the grenades seriously; they just rolled away to avoid them.

As long as they are prepared and are not hit at close range by a grenade, they will not be rendered incapacitated by the explosion; at most, they will just feel chest tightness.

Their robust power armor is strong enough to block most shrapnel. Although the internal parts are quite delicate, they are unlikely to be damaged by shock thanks to the protective layer in the middle.

But at that moment, the two grenades suddenly burst into flames, as if someone had exploded a can of fuel, turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire.

Two Dread Knights who couldn't dodge in time were instantly splashed with fire, and before the other Dread Knights could react, a fire dragon burst out of the smoke and instantly pierced into their ranks.
