Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

The red flames rushed into the demon's body along the unhealed wound, and then exploded inside.

Intense pain instantly surged into the demon's brain. It immediately turned around and swept its tail towards Song Zhen, but Song Zhen dodged it nimbly.

"Hoo! You bugs!! Bugs!!"

"No, is that your only line? The writing for Dawnbreak is seriously lazy."

Seeing that he was not killed by the demon, the Phantom Tank immediately ran back with his shield in hand, and kicked a stone on the ground, which hit the demon's head directly.

-1

"I suggest asking the planner to write a few more voice lines for you, at least a few more curse words... I'm awesome!"

Two more earth spikes shot out from under the feet of the Phantom Tank. This time he did not react as quickly and could not dodge in time. One of the earth spikes cut the skin of his thigh, leaving a long gash.

"You're a little too impatient!!"

"Roar!!"

The earth-attributed demon was now completely crazy. It completely ignored Song Zhen behind it and gave up all defenses and rushed towards the phantom tank.

It was doomed, and its mission to break through the fortress had failed, but it absolutely could not let this human go.

This cunning, sinister, noisy human being!

"Fuck! Are you crazy?!!"

The moment the Phantom Tank saw the demon's gaze again, it turned around and ran without hesitation for a second.

Then a very funny scene appeared on the battlefield. The earth-attributed demon took Song Zhen's attack and chased the phantom tank relentlessly, while the phantom tank jumped around with a shield that was almost in tatters.

When he was about to be caught up, he turned around and used his shield to block it.

Then he used the impact of the attack to create distance and continued to flee.

Fortunately, this earth-attributed demon's consciousness had gradually become blurred due to the rapid loss of vitality. Only the obsession of "Kill this human!" in its mind drove its broken body to continue running.

This also caused it to lose almost all of its fighting skills. Like a wild beast, it could only use its hard fangs to continuously swing at the Mirage Tank's shield.

Then they were all blocked.

Otherwise, as a high-level demon, it would be able to kill a late yellow-level human at the risk of its life.

Soon, the fatigue caused by lack of vitality spread throughout its body. Its limbs, which had been moving very fast, gradually became weak, and its waving fangs also lost their initial strength.

Until one of its attacks failed to even knock the Mirage Tank away, it knew that its life was coming to an end.

It stared at the human not far ahead, blood even flowing out of its eyes, blurring its vision.

Then it saw that the human suddenly stopped running and looked back at it.

Then a look of joy seemed to appear on the human's face, and he ran back with the damn piece of iron.

What is he doing?

Then the human raised the long sword in his hand towards it, and a dazzling white light came out of the long sword.

He wants to kill me?

How could I be killed by such a human being!

No! You can’t!

It used up its last bit of strength to sweep out its fangs, hitting the human's waist hard, but the stabbing long knife instantly pierced its eyes.

"Boom!"

The huge body of the earth-attributed demon finally fell to the ground, and the phantom tank that delivered the final blow was knocked away again by the demon's fatal blow.

But in the air, he couldn't wait to open the task panel.

His original experience had already reached level 16 and a half. Now, after killing a high-level demon, his experience bar skyrocketed instantly, directly passing through the thresholds of level 17 and level 18, and rushing straight to level 19.

"Oh!"

His body fell heavily to the ground, and then his throat felt sweet, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Don't move. I'll take you to the castle right away. You must hold on."

Song Zhen ran over immediately, and looking at the Phantom Tank lying on the ground, he carefully picked him up on the spot, and then ran quickly towards the castle.

At this moment, the second group of slower players finally arrived.

Although their combat effectiveness was a little weaker, the low-level monsters had been almost killed by the high-level players who arrived earlier, and the remaining inferior monsters could not pose any threat to them.

"Go! Brothers, cute!"

"Grab the monster! Be quick or you'll miss out!"

"For the alliance!!"

One hundred players began to quickly clean up the battlefield, causing a serious interruption in the demons' offensive on the battlefield.

The defenders in the castle finally had a chance to catch their breath.

The Phantom Tank looked at the experience bar that finally stopped at the middle of level 18 and sighed softly.

"pity."

Song Zhen thought he was regretting his behavior, so he patted Mirage Tank on the shoulder and said seriously:

"You did a great job just now, there's no need to regret it."

"what?"

The Phantom Tank blinked, then realized that the NPC in front of him had misunderstood.

But that's okay.

It’s a free favorability, so why not use it?

"Ah." He raised his head slightly, his eyes watching the sun gradually setting in the west, his tone instantly filled with sadness and regret, "We are still too late. If only we could have come earlier..."

He then looked at the defenders on the city wall who were starting to pack up their things, and the wounded who were gasping for breath against the parapet.

"Your brothers defending the city might not be injured, and even your western fortress might not be lost."

I have to say, after playing "Codename: Dawn" for such a long time, Phantom Tank feels that the thing he has improved the most is his acting skills.

Although he is not as good as [Underworld Fire Garen] and [Iron Pot Stew Myself], two professional actors, he is definitely better than those young handsome guys.

"No, you can't say that."

Song Zhen shook his head seriously.

“I don’t know where you came from to support our army, but since you are here, there is no reason to blame yourselves.”

"It's us in Shaling Town who have the problem. We, the people of Shaling Town, should bear all the consequences."

After that, Song Zhen didn’t talk much with Phantom Tank. When he saw that the demon’s offensive had completely retreated, he ordered his adjutant to handle the follow-up matters.

He quickened his pace to send the Mirage Tank to the field hospital in the fortress, then personally helped remove the armor of the Mirage Tank, called a senior doctor over, and finally stood aside waiting anxiously.

"How is his injury?"

Seeing the doctor start to pack up, Song Zhen immediately asked anxiously.

"It's nothing serious. The armor he was wearing probably helped him block most of the impact, so there are only some soft tissue contusions. In addition, some internal organs suffered slight concussions, with some minor bleeding and ruptures."

"But with the physical fitness of a late-stage Yellow Rank cultivator, he will be able to recover on his own after a period of rest."

"Oh, all right."

Song Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor did not stay here for long. Although the outcome of today's battle was somewhat unexpected, the process was still very tragic, including the recent battle to defend the city, and many soldiers were injured.

So he needed to treat other soldiers immediately.

"How is it? Are they guarding outside?"

Phantom Tank asked, lying a little awkwardly on the hospital bed.

In the game, apart from resting, he has never lay in bed. If he encounters an injury that takes several days to heal, he will definitely commit suicide and resurrect.

"The demons have left temporarily. We have lost two high-level fighters. Even if they want to continue the attack, it will probably take some time." Song Zhen answered seriously.

At this moment, Phantom Tank, who had reopened the group chat, suddenly had a complicated expression.

Because a new message popped up in the combat group.

Chenlu Bobo: @Phantom Tank, a large number of demons are now moving towards the southwest. It is estimated that there are thousands of inferior demons. Two high-level demons have been confirmed so far, and there may be high-level mid-to-late-stage combat power.

Oops, it's broken.

Chapter 276 Only Three and a Half Hours

"Hello, I'm the adjutant here, Song Lin."

[Dandan's Smile] As soon as he jumped onto the outer wall of the fortress, a handsome man with blood on his body and a long sword in his hand walked over.

Although there were some bloodstains on his face, it was still possible to tell that he was not very old, probably around twenty years old.

"Oh, hello, I'm the vice-captain of the Survey Corps, Eggy Smile."

Upon hearing that the other party was the adjutant here, [Dandan's Smile] did not delay and immediately went to greet him.

The two briefly shook hands.

"Your general who led the charge has been taken away by our commander for treatment."

Song Lin first leaned his sword against the parapet beside him, then continued:

"But I just asked the doctors at the hospital, and they said the general is not seriously injured and will recover after a few days of rest."

"That's good."

[Dandan's Smile] also nodded seriously.

Although he didn't really care about the life or death of the Phantom Tank.

As long as his armor is fine.

There is a saying in the gathering place: Equipment is more valuable than human life.

This is a true saying.

They used a total of five Yunhe armored planes to support the Southwest Fortress this time. Among them, only the armor on him and Fat Tiger were bought by themselves, and the other three were assets of the major corps.

The one on the Mirage Tank was borrowed from the Cat Corps.

If they hadn't accidentally broken it, they would have been too embarrassed to go back and see the cat.

"Oh, do you have any wounded people who need medical treatment?" Song Lin looked at the other reinforcements who were helping to clean up the battlefield under the castle, and immediately looked at Dandan again and asked.

"We still have a lot of medical supplies left. We can give you some. If you need a doctor's help, we can also..."

"No, no, none of our people were seriously injured."

Dandan waved his hands quickly.

He has been playing the game for so long that he no longer regards these NPCs as a bunch of data.

These NPCs all have their own families, their own lives, and even their own ideals and love.

So in his opinion, the lives of these NPCs are much more precious than those of players.

What's more, as soon as the demon escaped, he counted the injured people in the group.

Including the leading Mirage Tank, there were a total of 101 people on this expedition. In the end, only three people were killed, three were seriously injured, and seven were confirmed to be slightly injured.

The seriously injured players must have committed suicide and returned home. Staying here would not only waste medical resources, but also their own time.

The remaining players with minor injuries drank the "blood recovery potion" they brought with them, and their injuries were basically stopped immediately. Naturally, they did not need the medical supplies stored in the Southwest Fortress, nor did they need their doctors to come for help.

"That's good."

Song Lin nodded slightly, then he took another quick look at the armor worn by Dandan. Although there were some slight scratches on it, it was still obvious that the armor had definitely not been used for a long time.

It will only be in use for a month at most.

So, the phantom tank that just cooperated with Song Zhen to kill the high-level demon is also new equipment because its armor can even reflect light in the sun.

and so……

"Are you from the Yunhe Army?"
