The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 18: Do you even understand the value of a battlefield flamethrower soldier?
"Aaaaaah! I'm on fire!"

"Watch out, flamethrower soldiers!"

A sudden burst of fire splattered all three Dread Knights, instantly turning them into human torches.

Clearly, the power armor worn by these Dread Knights is not heat-insulating. On the contrary, due to the thermal conductivity of metal, the power armor becomes like a hot plate, causing immense suffering to the soldiers trapped inside.

Despite their best efforts and their instinctive rolling on the ground, the flames formed by the fuel were not so easy to extinguish.
Hearing the extremely pitiful cries of the two Fear Knights, the others couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Quick! Back up!"

Seeing the terrifying fire dragon still approaching, the group of fear knights quickly retreated, fearing that they would be stuck to the flames.

Fortunately, the flamethrower's range isn't very long, so as long as they don't get too close, they can still dodge it.

"Everyone, don't panic! They can't keep breathing fire like this for long!"

"If I remember correctly, one can of fuel can only last for about 15 seconds, and then it will run out of fuel very quickly!"

The leading Dread Knight shouted to the others while dodging the flames.

He never expected that the technologically backward Cambrian Empire would equip this unit with flamethrowers. However, even if they had flamethrowers, they couldn't keep firing for long, as they were huge fuel consumers.

Hearing this, the other Fear Knights felt a little more at ease. If this thing could keep spewing, then they would be in big trouble.

But after hiding for a long time, and almost retreating back to their previous trenches, they still saw no sign of the flames subsiding. Many of the Dread Knights couldn't help but wonder:

Is 15 seconds really that long? How come this thing hasn't finished burning yet?
Clearly, they were unaware of the concept of elite battlefield soldiers.

In reality, the flamethrower can only burn for 15 seconds, but as a famous elite soldier suit, the flamethrower soldier in Battlefield 1 has no fuel limit at all. As long as it can keep burning, it can keep burning!

Meanwhile, in the player chat area, while rampaging through the battlefield, Changfen Cat was leaving messages for other players:
"Guys, hurry up and cover me!"

[Charge! Charge! Charge with me! Let's charge through in one go!]

The other players also cheered excitedly, and their morale soared.

Although the flamethrower has a strong suppressive effect, it can only attack in one direction. If an enemy comes from the flank and cuts the flamethrower down with a single sword strike, then this wave of attacks will be in trouble.

So the other players quickly covered the flamethrower's flanks, wary of a fear knight suddenly emerging from the smoke on the side.

Hearing the sound of gears coming from the side, a player suddenly roared and launched a bayonet charge. This reckless attack startled the Dread Knight.

He originally intended to approach the flamethrower soldier from the side and strike him down by surprise, but he didn't expect that a Cambrian soldier would spot him first.

But it doesn't matter, how could such a bayonet possibly harm...?!

The Fear Knight, who was used to using his breastplate to withstand the bayonet, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and looked down in disbelief.

To his horror, his hard breastplate was pierced by the enemy's bayonet!

The gleaming bayonet pierced his breastplate as easily as piercing a sheet of paper, and plunged heavily into his heart.

Not only this Dread Knight, but other Dread Knights also fell into the trap unintentionally. Because they believed that their power armor could never be penetrated by bayonets, they all chose to withstand the attack head-on.

However, the characteristic of players' bayonets being able to kill infantry with a single blow was fully utilized at this moment, and a group of reckless players showed what it meant to fight to the death with bayonets.

The Dread Knights who attempted a flanking attack were instead killed by the player's bayonets, while those who tried to break through from the front were also hit by the flamethrower soldiers' fire and engulfed in flames.

What made the Fear Knight even more desperate was that, for some reason, there was only one flamethrower soldier in the enemy ranks, but suddenly two more flamethrower soldiers appeared!

Andrei, who was secretly manipulating all of this, smiled without saying a word. Just now, he stuffed flamethrower sets into the corpses of two more fear knights, giving the players a wave of loot drops.

Seeing this, the two players who had just obtained the flamethrower set became even more excited and started chatting in the chat area:

Know My Heavenly Venerable: [Interesting. It seems enemy elite soldiers are more likely to drop set items, not just because they score more points after being killed! I've evolved into a Flame Warrior now!]

Cat King: [Boiling Things Know Me! I just saved you with a tiny needle, and then you turned around and got hacked to death again, dragging me down with you. And now I, the medic, have to call other medics to save you!]

[The boiling matter knows me!]

[The boiling matter knows me!]

……

Looking at the chat section that was inexplicably flooded with messages, Zhiwo Tianzun said, "You are clearly just jealous!"

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the flamethrower and, together with the other two flamethrower players, started burning the area in front of him.

The damage output of one flamethrower soldier is completely different from that of three flamethrower soldiers.

It's not just about increased damage; more importantly, the three flamethrower soldiers can each cover three different directions, effectively blocking the enemy.

Under this blockade, the remaining few Dread Knights dared not charge any further and could only retreat back to the trenches in a very sorry state, while calling for the others to retreat together.

Seeing that even the fear knight, whom they considered almost invincible, had withdrawn, how could the other Black Hawk soldiers dare to stay any longer?
The terrifying smoke was like some kind of all-consuming demon, and the three fire dragons that suddenly lit up were like a devil spewing sulfurous fire from hell!

In the blink of an eye, the Black Hawk soldiers here were routed, with large numbers of soldiers fleeing from the smoke in a panic, rushing forward without regard for anything else.

Naturally, the players weren't going to let the enemies get away at this crucial moment, and they all picked up their guns and unleashed a fierce barrage of fire on these easy targets.

Once inside the trenches, the flamethrower soldiers' flames became even more formidable.

In the narrow trench environment, this fire dragon can cover an entire trench, and the unlimited fire breath, coupled with the flamethrower soldiers' immunity to fire damage, allows them to simply spray fire all the way forward.

However, just as the flamethrower player was preparing to pursue the enemy along the trenches, Andrei's voice suddenly rang out:

"Everyone, stop chasing! Don't forget our purpose!"

"Run to the edge of the battlefield quickly, break through here as soon as possible!"

But just then, a shout suddenly rang out from behind Andrei's troops.
