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

But when they suddenly rushed out of Yunshan, discovered the road that passed through the woods, and saw fresh human traces on it, things changed instantly.

More and more demons began to gather here. In just over half an hour, the team had swelled to six or seven hundred, and the leading demons had become two high-level demons.

And as if they had instantly determined their target, they immediately began to accelerate along the road.

In just over an hour, the distance between the two sides had been shortened by dozens of kilometers, and they were now even within a dangerous distance.

"Waiwaiwai? Huzi? Are you still alive?"

Dandan's voice sounded in Fat Tiger's ears again.

"Alive and audible."

Fat Tiger said softly in the voice chat while looking at the group of demons in the distance.

He watched with his own eyes as this group of demons began to grow in size, causing his surveillance distance to continue to increase, from tens of meters before, to hundreds, and now to several hundred meters.

His hands holding the gun began to sweat slightly.

These demons were heading for the evacuated villagers, but they now had no effective means of fighting back.

If these monsters rushed to the 10,000 villagers, even if the players could escape, most of the villagers would definitely be killed by the monsters.

By then, we won’t even talk about 1%.

Even 10% of casualties cannot be guaranteed.

"Reinforcements will arrive in an hour..."

"Hey! Hu Zi, did I succeed? Did those demons change their direction?!"

Dandan's expectant voice immediately rang in Fat Tiger's ears.

"No, do you think it's possible to succeed?"

Fat Tiger looked at the hundreds of demons that hadn't changed their pursuit direction at all, and said helplessly, "These monsters are AI, but they're not idiots."

"There are such obvious walking marks on the ground, even a pig can find the right direction."

Even though this road is paved with special materials and will not leave footprints like mud, the traces of tens of thousands of people passing by still form a sharp contrast with the other road at all the forks in the road.

Unless the demons chasing them are blind, there is no way they could have made the wrong choice.

"Fuck! Then why are these demons still chasing me?!"

Dandan looked back at the dozen or so demons that were chasing him closely, among whom were even two low-level mid-stage demons, leaving him with no chance to turn around and use his invincible skills.

"I want to kill you."

Fat Tiger answered without any emotion.

"Just run ahead. Good luck."

After saying that, he switched off the channel and connected with the Phantom Tank.

"Phantom, Dandan is beyond saving. Can you tell those villagers to move faster? It would be great if we could buy them a few more minutes."

"emmm..."

The Phantom Tank looked at the long team in front of him and shook his head slightly.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"We can't just speed up a team of over ten thousand people. Furthermore, if we let these NPCs know that there are demons chasing us, they'll probably start to panic."

"What should we do? Are we just going to wait like this?" Fat Tiger asked immediately.

"I'm already deploying personnel here."

Phantom Tank looked down at the large shield in his hand, silently clenched his right hand, and his tone instantly became firm.

"Let's not fight with those things anymore, let's just confront them head-on!"

He doesn't have the strategic mind like Alps and Yu Shui, who can make good use of the more than 200 people under his command.

He only knew that he, wearing a cloud and armor, was equivalent to the combat power of a Xuan-level player, plus nearly dozens of Huang-level players who were mobilized.

They are absolutely sure of holding back these demons!

Chapter 343: The First Iron Turtle at Dawn

"The demon is only five kilometers away from our main force!"

Fat Tiger kept jumping from tree to tree while speaking quickly into the voice.

"And just ten minutes ago, another group of demons joined in from the north side of the road."

"It is estimated that the total number of demons is nearly one thousand."

"Are there any new high-level demons?" Phantom Tank asked immediately.

"Not sure. I don't dare get too close right now." Fat Tiger shook his head slightly.

Although after [Dandan's Smile] fled to the south with a small group of demons, other reconnaissance players gradually came to the vicinity of this "main force of demons" to help monitor them.

But after two or three people were caught by the demons because they were too close, the demons' vigilance went up a level, and there was even a risk of being discovered by the high-level demon if they were within two hundred meters.

So now he could only watch from afar, and then roughly determine their location by the noises made by these monsters.

"OK, please keep the coordinates updated. We are already in place."

Mirage Tank said calmly in the channel.

Although he was prepared to lead his men to fight against this group of demons, it did not mean that he would give up the advantage of defending.

At least he will decide where the battle will take place!

"The bomb troops are in place!"

"The vanguard troops are in place!"

"The flanking team is in place!"

The voices of the various teams kept ringing in the ears of the Phantom Tank, and gradually, they finally heard the rumbling sound in the distance and saw the cloud of dust rising high.

"Bomb squad, get ready!"

Hearing the command in the voice, [Explosive Genius] also raised the incendiary bomb in his hand with excitement.

As a newbie in the sixth test, he took the initiative to apply to join the bombing team which did not require much training.

However, these grenades and incendiary bombs were consigned to the Survey Corps by [Anal Lift Assistant]. If they used them, the Survey Corps would be equivalent to buying these projectiles.

And because the bombing space of the bombing team is created jointly by the front team and the intelligence team, after some complicated calculations, the players of the bombing team have to pay a "usage fee" to the legion every time they use a throwing item.

Finally, part of the usage fee will be deposited into the legion's general ledger, and the other part will be distributed to players in the front team and the intelligence team.

This can be regarded as an attempt by the major corps to establish a "corps system".

"The enemy has entered within one kilometer!"

[Dabai], who was in charge of commanding the bombs, stood on the mountain wall on the north side of the road, silently looking at the demon army approaching rapidly in the distance, and spoke calmly in the voice.

This is the ambush site carefully selected by the Mirage Tank. There is a high rock wall on the north side and a lush forest on the south side.

This makes it easier for them to unleash their projectiles and for the flanking troops to hide themselves.

"Eight hundred meters!"

"Three hundred meters!"

"Roar!!"

The group of demons saw from afar the phantom tank standing on the road with a large shield in hand, and the rows of humans forming a battle formation behind him.

Not only did they not choose to slow down, but instead, guided by the roar of the leading demon, they entered a full-speed running mode.

Two high-level demons, along with a dozen low-level demons, even broke away from the main force, spread their hooves, and rushed towards the phantom tank with ferocious faces.

"Hit me!!"

“Throw it to me!!”

Mirage Tank and Baymax shouted almost at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of projectiles drew a perfect arc in the air and landed in the demon army.

"Boom!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The sound of gunfire and grenade explosions blended together in an instant, and because the demon formation was too dense, dozens of demons lost their combat effectiveness in just a few seconds.

But in just a short time, the two high-level demons leading the charge had already rushed to the front of the player.

"Roar!!"

A sharp blade growing on the demon's arm hit the phantom tank's raised shield hard.

"Ping!!"

The sharp blade scratched across the surface of the shield, and the harsh sound instantly penetrated the ears of all players, and the phantom tank was pushed back two steps by this huge force.

But his face showed joy immediately.

This demon's attack, with all its might, could only push him back two steps. Perhaps he could not only hold it back, but he might even have a chance...

"Boom!!"

Just when Phantom Tank felt that the situation was not so bad, a familiar figure flew out directly from beside him.

If he was not mistaken, that was a third-test player in their group. Although he was not very diligent in leveling up, he was now level 16, which made him a leader in the second-tier echelon.

"Fuck! Someone, come and stop this demon! We can't hold it! Ah——"

"Hide first! Phantom is being held back by another demon!"

"This one's probably mid-high level! If you're below level 18, don't get close! You can only take one hit, what a loss!"

"..."

The originally fairly orderly player formation was instantly broken up by another high-level demon.

The low-level monsters that had long been unable to pose much of a threat to the elite players even took advantage of the players' confusion and sent two veteran players above level 15 directly back to the fountain.

The Phantom Tank took the time to glance back and saw another player being smashed in the chest by the demon's sledgehammer-like arm.

This caused his originally good mood to suddenly turn cloudy.

Damn, I knew the shit planner wasn’t that kind.

You're letting these demons play Tian Ji's horse racing game, right?

Let the weaker one hold him back, and then the stronger one will directly attack him.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan...

"Brothers, charge!!"

At this time, [He Dou Bi Bi] finally led the flank troops out from the woods on the side.

They directly targeted the inferior demons that were out of touch with the high-level and low-level demons, and He Dou Bibi rushed towards the front battlefield quickly with a large shield.

As the chief blacksmith of the Survey Corps, he kept improving the Phantom Tank's shield while also making a large shield for himself.

This shield is not only larger in area, but also made of harder material and heavier, so the defense is naturally significantly improved.

Of course, its shortcomings are also obvious.

It can only be held with both hands, completely eliminating the possibility of holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.

So he was also called 'The First Iron Turtle of Dawn' by others.

but now……

Even the Iron Turtle has its uses!!

Seeing that this high-level mid-stage demon was about to kill the next player, He Dou Bibi immediately rushed over, then raised his shield and shouted:

"Take my shield!!"
