Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"That shout just now—"

The seven players outside the fortress, who were being attacked and crouching in defense with their heads in their hands, were momentarily confused.

"Could it be that they've run out of ammunition?" someone speculated.

"Who wants to give it a try?"

Damn it, Uncle Li!

The other six people cursed inwardly at the same time, thinking, "You're expecting someone else to step up when you're not going to do it yourself? This guy was the one who said he wanted to find someone to be a human shield just now."

"We can't delay any longer. We need to find the NPC who issued the quest as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to do the second phase of the quest."

"Enough with the nonsense, let's all come at once!"

"Fine, we'll die together, no one's left behind, and we'll share the spoils too!"

"Ah."

After discussing it, they exchanged a few glances and slowly moved towards the fortress.

This fortress is made of special materials that they simply cannot break through; otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a dilemma.

But even fortresses have gaps, otherwise they wouldn't be able to launch a counterattack against the outside world.

"one two Three……"

Whoosh!

Seven people stood up at the same time, but only one of them nervously fired his gun.

The beam of light disappeared into an unknown direction.

But this shot, combined with the piles of metal and people lying on the ground, was just too fitting for the occasion.

"They're all dead?"

"..."

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

shocked.

From the moment the gunfire stopped until they exchanged a few words, only about a minute had passed.

Oh my god!

……

"Where are you now?" Caladotil asked again.

"What about you?"

"Halfway up the mountain."

“I’ll catch up soon,” An Ran replied.

At this point, they had not yet crossed half of the camp.

But Zhou Jieyu witnessed the big boss's actions.

A truly hardcore battlefield.

Zhou Jieyu, who was following An Ran and Ella, finally witnessed it.

Drones and bee-like detectors lead the way, launching the first strike as soon as they spot a target emerging.

Ten robots surrounded them and then advanced towards the City of Everlook at an extremely fast speed, serving as both a shield and a means of providing support as soon as the drones and bee-like detectors detected the target.

Two rounds of suppressive fire were already quite fierce, but Anran, who carried a lot of weapons and was actually as cute as an adorable creature, was even more terrifying.

It's practically like having an aimbot; it hits exactly where you point.

The most outrageous thing was that when a bomb was magnified on the detector's display screen, Ella shot it back.

boom!

The violent explosion left the garrison inside the fortress in a daze. Then, with a push of their hands, the enemy appeared in front of them for no apparent reason.

A magnificent start to the unparalleled era, another easy harvest.

Their biggest mistake was splitting into small groups. If they had piled up their numbers and used sheer numbers to contain An Ran, they would have been able to create some obstacles.

Swoosh~ Swoosh~

Humans and robots, dressed primarily in black and white, moved swiftly through the camp, leaping from one building entrance to another with a single bound.

Even the guard robots equipped with auto-aiming modules were completely unable to launch an effective attack.

What's the point of even trying?

The adjutant, who was sitting in the room constantly switching between various screens to examine the battlefield, was having a headache.

The garrison of Everlook was already struggling to hold off the Night Owl's attack, but who would have thought that more than 300 outsiders, each stronger than the elite soldiers of the garrison, would charge into the fray.

Especially monsters like the one shown in the picture.

You want me to go down and fight? How am I supposed to fight?

Shrug.

Those who would charge headlong into danger to trade their lives are not reckless, they are fools.

You have to slip away when it's time to slip away. Even if you die here, any reward from the chase is meaningless.

The adjutant, with his well-developed philosophy of survival, had a very clear mind.

Even when he discovered that the other side was very strong, he was not flustered at all. Even though he was prepared to escape, he was still "dutifully" issuing various orders before the enemy attacked.

"The garrison in the south is all moving towards the exit. If we continue to disperse our forces, we will only be defeated one by one."

"Once the personnel have withdrawn, have the artillery department immediately launch a full-scale artillery barrage on the southern camp."

"Send all the robots from the reserve battalion south. Yes, that's right."

"Reinforcements will arrive soon, everyone, don't worry. But we can't let our guard down for a moment until they arrive."

That's about it.

Close the four consecutively opened call windows.

The adjutant knew that no reinforcements would come. The enemy forces facing the Governor's Mansion were more than four times the size of those facing the City of Everlook. Because a large number of the Governor's Mansion guards had been sent out earlier, there were very few people left on Aquamarine Star.

But he had to say that reinforcements would be coming.

Even while in this position, he continued to make the right choices.

If future generations were to record events, they would say that the empire had many incompetent people, but he would certainly not be included among them.

"Ah……"

His eyes were fixed on An Ran, who was moving at high speed.

As he ran, the coat he was wearing billowed in the wind, and as if by magic, An Ran kept switching between different but most suitable firearms in his hands.

Point-to-point explosion damage.

Use high-temperature impact to attack the enemy hiding behind the small hole.

It's like a direct plasma explosion to enemies hiding in the winding tunnels.

Even those who survived the first wave of attacks would be stabbed to death as they passed by unharmed.

Quick and accurate.

Lin Yumo was observing An Ran's movements intently, even more so than the adjutant.

“It didn’t delay us at all.” The adjutant clasped his hands together.

The slower-moving garrison troops were no match for them, so whether the artillery bombardment would be effective depended entirely on the garrison troops blocking the entrance.

Just as I was thinking this, the artillery was ready, the muzzle was turned, the angle was set, and the loading was completed!

emission.

Boom boom boom!

Various types of shells and beams were fired out at a density like snowflakes.

To avoid harming their own people, they used special ammunition with a small blast radius but extremely strong penetrating power.

boom!

They ruthlessly broke through the obstacles above, and the players who were still agonizing over the mysterious deaths of the eight NPCs were suddenly struck by disaster.

They were torn to shreds and left hanging together without much time to react.

Unfortunately, the four players who were running back were almost there.

"So, it would have been better to find a scapegoat from the start! @%$＆%"

After a few moments of sharp insults, they suddenly received a message from the four players.

"Signal flare!"

"It's a rallying cry issued by the NPC who posted the quest!"

"Holy crap, it was already posted right after we logged in? @%$&%"

swoosh swish~

Deep blue lights, like surging waves, roared through the air.

Many players on Mount Eternal Hope witnessed this scene!

Some players have received the quest, while others haven't.

Players who knew what was going on all turned around and headed towards the southern foot of Mount Everest.
