Facing such a brutal grenade attack, the Black Hawk Soldiers gathered together had no time to dodge and were blown to pieces, along with the two Fear Knights.
Cluster grenades on the battlefield are a powerful anti-tank weapon for Assault, and they are equally effective against power-armored Soldiers.
Before dying, these Black Hawk Soldiers couldn't help but wonder:
When did these Cambrian Soldiers' equipment get so good? They're throwing grenades like they're free!
When the grenade explosions ended and the smoke gradually dissipated, the Players excitedly rushed forward and looked at the two power-armored Soldiers on the ground.
They had already prepared to finish off the two if the grenades hadn't killed them, but it was clear that neither of the unlucky Fear Knights had survived the previous wave of grenades.
Hao Nan Ge picked up one of the Fear Knights' greatswords and curiously examined the equipment.
"Hiss, look, this greatsword seems to have a layer of some special metal plated on the blade's edge, this sword looks different!"
As he spoke, he strapped the sword to his back, using it as his own equipment.
It must be said that the game's freedom is truly high; he discovered that equipment from Soldiers killed by Players in this game could also be picked up!
However, most enemy Soldiers didn't drop good equipment; for example, the bolt-action rifles on these ordinary Soldiers were completely beneath them.
Such rifles were fine for long-range sniping, but if used for close-range combat in a trench, wouldn't that be seeking death?
Just then, a dialogue box popped up in front of all the Players, indicating that their mission was complete.
Immediately afterward, the total 500 influence points prize pool for this side mission was distributed according to their respective contributions to the mission.
Looking at the full 100 influence points he had gained, Hao Nan Ge couldn't stop smiling; these 100 influence points meant five resurrection opportunities for him!
Moreover, it was just that he hadn't raised the favorability of key NPCs yet; once he did, he believed that there would definitely be things like a store, and these influence points would surely have other uses.
At the same time, Andrei also received the mission completion notification, but he didn't care about the 500 influence points that had just been distributed.
Although he gave out 500, he gained even more influence points!
The influence points gained from simply killing enemies alone totaled nearly 2000, and he recaptured the D17 position, gaining an additional 1000 influence points!
However, even with so many influence points, he didn't feel much joy, because there were too many enemies!
Aside from the wave of elite enemies that just rushed up, large numbers of enemy Soldiers were charging the position like a tsunami; as far as the eye could see, the entire attack front was swarming with people!
The newly established machine gun position had already gone through three machine gunners; under such a fierce attack, the machine gunner was both the core damage dealer of this position and the enemy's priority target.
"Ah! I've been shot, my shoulder!"
Just then, the Soldier who had been operating the machine gun was hit by an enemy bullet again, instantly falling to the ground, clutching his shoulder and screaming.
He was relatively lucky, as the previous few machine gunners were no longer able to scream; the enemy's marksmen were incredibly accurate, every shot was fatal!
"Yelena! There's a casualty here!"
Andrei dragged the wounded Soldier aside, yelling at the top of his lungs; he was now truly appreciating the benefits of a Medical Sister.
At first, he hadn't understood Yelena's nun attire, thinking it was just something similar to the Red Cross.
But as casualties gradually appeared on the battlefield, Andrei fully realized what a Medical Sister was!
Hearing Andrei's call, Yelena quickly ran over and, with extremely skilled movements, used a small knife to dig out the bullet from the wounded Soldier's shoulder.
This crude method naturally caused the wounded Soldier to scream piercingly; if Andrei himself wasn't tall and strong, he might not have been able to hold the wounded Soldier down.
But then, as Yelena silently prayed a few words, a faint golden light suddenly appeared on her hands.
Under the illumination of this light, the bullet hole on the wounded Soldier's shoulder visibly recovered at a rapid pace; in about half a minute, the wound had almost completely healed.
"Phew, Yelena, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I don't know how many more men my company would have lost!"
Looking at the panting Yelena, Andrei praised her sincerely; this Medical Sister was simply amazing!
Andrei hadn't yet experienced how incredible the Medical Soldier Players he had summoned were, because all those Players had gone to fight on the other side.
However, just considering Yelena as a Medical Sister, after fighting for so long, Andrei's company had already accumulated at least ten wounded Soldiers.
Under normal circumstances, most of these wounded Soldiers would lose their combat effectiveness and would have to be urgently dragged to the temporary recuperation area in the third trench behind, or might even die from excessive blood loss.
But under Yelena's "healing spell," these wounded Soldiers were instantly back on their feet, aside from looking a bit pale and still feeling somewhat weak, there were no major issues!
Yelena smiled softly at Andrei's praise.
"No need for praise. Since Lady Veloslav has bestowed this divine grace upon me, then saving the wounded and rescuing the dying is my duty!"
Andrei nodded imperceptibly. After their previous conversation, he learned that Yelena was a nun who believed in the Goddess of Spring.
It was only then that Andrei noticed that the symbol on Yelena's nun's habit was not a Christian cross, but a staff shaped like a tree branch.
However, the healing of this wounded Soldier did not mean Andrei's current predicament was resolved; the hidden marksman was still eyeing his position like a tiger.
The heavy water-cooled machine gun not only made a lot of noise when firing but was also inconvenient to move, so he couldn't escape the marksman's lock.
This heavy machine gun was now the only machine gun on his position apart from the Players; if he couldn't deal with that marksman, the suppression fire from this machine gun wouldn't be effective, and the enemy would soon rush up!
Thinking of this, he quickly issued a new mission to the Players:
【Side Mission: Protect the machine gunner, find the hidden marksman! Total Mission Reward: 200 influence points! Number of participants: Unlimited!】
