Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Chapter 399 Conflict Erupts (2)

Demulan aimed her M700 at Reis, who had transformed into a war god in the crowd. This explosive round was specially prepared for this bastard.

This bullet explodes upon entering the enemy's body, causing immense damage. Even if Reis's physique is extraordinary, any carbon-based creature that takes this bullet will be forced to lie down obediently.

Zhang Hao: Wow, Sister Luna, this bullet seems even more powerful than the one you gave me. When Reis was hit by my spiral bullet before, he was still able to run away while yelling.

Luna: Damn it, did Xiao Hao underestimate me? Looks like I need to create an even more powerful bullet. You think you're tough, Reis? I'll see if you're as tough as iron.

Reese: Hiss~~~ Something feels off. I've already fought my way through this place, so why do I still feel a chill in my backside? I have a really bad feeling about this.

Perhaps it was telepathy, but after taking care of a Hafk soldier, Reis glanced in Demulan's direction. What he saw was incredible: Demulan was aiming her damn sniper rifle at him, and there was even a faint smile on her lips.

Reis: Danger! This is absolutely dangerous. I have to get out of there, or I think I'll be done for today.

So, just a second before Demoulan pulled the trigger, Reese started to twist in what could be described as a "seductive" pose.

And it was precisely because of his "seductive" swaying that the bullet fired by Demulan successfully grazed Reis's waist.

"Damn it, how did that bastard manage to dodge it again?"

Seeing that Reis had dodged his shot, Demulan said with some annoyance, "How could I have missed this time? And what kind of position is that guy Reis in?"

Demulan was speechless at the thought of Reis's writhing body. Could this guy's body really be damaged like that? Now his perfect hit rate against him was gone.

However, when Demulan thought of his special explosive bullet, he felt relieved. He had been too hasty and forgotten the characteristics of the explosive bullet. Now, he had managed to maintain his 100% hit rate.

"Hehe, Demulan is just like that......................Holy crap, ahhhhh!"

After dodging the bullet, Reese was about to turn back to mock Demulan's "terrible" marksmanship when, in the next second, a bullet struck his back and his large buttocks.

Reis immediately let out a painful howl. Damn it, how come Demulan is tampering with the bullets too? Is there nothing else in these people's heads besides slapping their own butts?

"Fuck your Demulan, are you even human? Why the hell are you and that GTI brat staring at my ass like that? Are you all fucking perverts?"

Reis touched his buttocks. Yes, he was bleeding again. But thankfully, the bullet hadn't exploded inside his body, or he might not even be able to curse.

"Hmph, you're lucky you didn't get hit this time. I'd like to see how many more times you can dodge while you're injured."

After saying that, Demoulan didn't waste any more words and directly aimed the M700 at Reis once again.

"Damn it, Demulan, you guys cover me for a bit, I need to treat my wounds before I fight this crazy woman to the death."

Reis also had the shieldbearer Asara stand in front of him, and he himself began to run inside through the chaotic crowd.

As Demulan fired a few more shots, several more holes appeared in Reis's thigh. However, because Reis often gets shot, he is now almost immune to these ordinary bullets.

Said: 666, you know, I used to put in a lot of effort to train my movement so I could eat fewer peanuts. I didn't expect that Reese would start evolving directly now? Does he really think he's the Hulk?

Once they arrived at the rear, Reis quickly asked the doctors who were already waiting there to come and remove the bullets from his body, as it was quite uncomfortable to have bullets lodged in his flesh.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go to that mountain over there, the one near the Hafk radar station. There are a few barrels of fuel I left there before. Set them on fire for me."

While waiting for the medic to remove the bullet, Reis spoke to one of the soldiers beside him, Asara. Reis was well aware that Demulan had not yet deployed its tanks and other heavy equipment.

If Demulan were to unleash a full-scale offensive, their defeat would be inevitable sooner or later. After all, Hafk's side has an unlimited supply of resources, and they would be at a slight disadvantage in a protracted war.

"Damn it, I didn't expect it to come to this. Go ahead and tell Barton that if you can't beat them, take your men and slowly retreat. Once the smoke clears up, I'll see what Demulan has to fight me with."

In fact, after Reese and Patton discussed setting fire to the Third Regiment to create a large amount of smoke that day, Reese secretly arranged for a few people to place several barrels of fuel near the Hafk radar station.

Previously, Reis thought that Demulan wouldn't attack when there was smog, and he even thought he might as well just create his own artificial smoke.

But given the current situation, Reiss had no other choice. The smog was gradually dissipating, and if they didn't start burning the mountains now to create smoke, by the time Demulan attacked and started burning, the smoke would have already risen, and their Longbow Valley would be almost completely taken over.

"Yes, Boss Reis, I'll take men and get it done right away."

After hearing this, the soldier from Asara immediately organized a few people, and they set off for the place where the fuel was hidden.

Meanwhile, the shieldbearer Asara returned to the front line and, after glancing at Barton who was still in charge of the overall situation, hurriedly ran over to him.

Chapter 400 Conflict Erupts (3)

"Commander Barton, Lord Reiss asked me to tell you not to keep fighting Demulan head-on, but to retreat appropriately."

Barton: Huh? Retreat? Is this still the same Boss Reese? When has Boss Reese ever told me to lead the team in a retreat?

But since Boss Reese had spoken, Barton was too lazy to think about it any further. He would just do whatever his boss said and follow Boss Reese's lead.

Barton: There's no way around it. Lord Reis is truly the toughest man I've ever met in my life. He's always courting death like this. If it were anyone else, they would be long gone by now, but Boss Reis is still alive and kicking here. I can't find any reason not to follow Boss Reis!

"Did Boss Reis say anything else? Hurry up and finish."

Seeing that the shieldbearer Asara was still there, Barton asked, "Is there something you want to say but are too embarrassed to tell me?"

"Um... Commander Patton, while I was over there, I think I overheard Lord Reis instructing a few soldiers to go and get fuel to burn the mountain..."

Upon hearing the shieldman's words, Patton immediately thought of the plan that Reese had been muttering to himself earlier. At the time, Patton thought that Reese had already given up on this dangerous idea, but now that the shieldman had spoken, Patton immediately understood why Reese had the plan and why he had led these soldiers to fight and retreat.

"This...sigh, this is a case of hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own. But what if the wildfire really starts burning?"

Barton could only mutter a few words to himself. This Lord Reis... sigh. Anyway, it's not like I've been unable to keep up with his thought process for a long time. I guess I'm just used to it.

"Alright, I understand. Go back and keep watch over Lord Reis. Also, go to the rear and tell the soldiers not to panic if they see large amounts of wildfire and smoke. Have them put on masks if they have any. That's all, you can go back now."

After finishing his instructions with the shieldbearer Asara, Barton turned around and began to command the frontline battle again. He had no choice but to keep the current situation under control while Boss Reis was away.

When Demulan saw that she hadn't been able to take down the troops without Reis after a long time, the soldiers who were constantly charging forward stopped and began to slowly gather around her.

Just as the soldier Asara was about to breathe a sigh of relief, all the tanks behind Demulan rolled out.

Asara's soldier: Oh no, are we about to start the second round right away? Can't we get ready first? (*?????)

"fire!"

As Demulan gave the order, the tanks began firing devastating shells at the Asara soldiers.

"Retreat! Retreat to the trenches behind us first! Where are our tank units? Hurry! Push them up!"

When Patton saw Demulan rushing to her tank unit in a fit of rage, he quickly pulled back those "idiots" who still wanted to fight the tanks head-on. These guys were really reckless. I don't know who they learned from. Don't they know what the situation is? How dare you mortals fight against the tank unit? Are your brains filled with shit?

He then immediately ordered those "big idiots" to get back to their places. If it weren't for the urgent need for manpower, Patton really wouldn't have bothered with these idiots. With their intelligence, it would be better to let them fend for themselves.

After the main force retreated into the trenches, Reis's tanks began to launch a counterattack against Demulan.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the sounds of artillery fire, and the explosions of shells drowned out the roars and screams of the soldiers on both sides.

"Huh? When did smoke start coming from the radar station? Is it just my imagination? I think I might see flames..."

As the tanks of both sides clashed, Demulan saw thick smoke rising from the distant mountains, and he also vaguely saw sparks flashing there.

However, since the situation was still quite chaotic, Demulan didn't think too much about it. He frowned as he watched the battle reach a new equilibrium.

Why is Longbow Valley so hard to conquer? We've tried so hard, how come they haven't fallen yet? Are all these Asara soldiers like Reis, turning into unkillable cockroaches?

Said: Hiss~ If you put it that way, then Reis's soldiers are like him, each one trading intelligence for physique, then the soldiers he, the leader of the dam, lead...wouldn't they all be sharpshooters?

Abel: What?! A sharpshooter? Is this really talking about me? My God, this is truly an incredible stroke of luck.

Said: Uh... never mind, Abel. From today onwards, you're no longer my soldier. When it comes to shooting, you're probably more like Hamk's soldier.

"As for the armed helicopters, provide fire support. And those reconnaissance helicopters, keep a close watch on Reis's movements. Don't give him a chance to escape. He's been carrying the Mandel brick all along; he can't possibly slip away from under my nose again."

Demulan stopped dawdling and decided to see who could break down the opponent's defense faster than that idiot Reis.

After waiting for his wound to be bandaged, Reis lit his cigar again, looked at the thick smoke rising behind him, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Damn it, give me a little more time. Demulan, right? The guardian of Hafk, right? Undefeated, right? Just you wait, I'll give you your favorite kind of defeat."

After finishing his rant, Reese grabbed his gun again and rushed to the front lines. When he saw the tanks of both sides unleashing their firepower at each other, he slapped Patton on the head.

"Are you stupid? We've been fighting for so long and still can't decide a winner. Why don't you use the helicopters I bought? Are you out of your mind?"

Chapter 401 Conflict Erupts (4)

After taking down Barton, Reese immediately ordered his helicopters to attack. Damn it, the smoke hadn't even started yet. If they didn't hold them off and Demulan broke through, all his efforts in setting off the fire would have been for nothing!

Reese: If that happens, my reputation will be completely ruined. That absolutely cannot happen, so you guys have to hold the line for me no matter what.

"Boss Reis, are you really going to set this fire just for this Mandel brick? Even if we manage to drive Demulan and the others away, a wildfire of this scale... seems like we really can't handle it."

Barton was stunned for a while after being slapped by Reese. After recovering a little, he quietly returned to Reese's side and asked in a low voice.

"Damn it, you don't know anything. This battle is very important, you know? If we can defeat Demulan this time, or even better, kill her, then we can solidify my position, you know? Then screw Yusef. He still wants to order me around like before? Bah! He'll have to do what I say, you know?"

After thinking for a moment, Reis added:

"And you're usually pretty smart, aren't you? How come you can't even understand this simple cause and effect now? If Demulan gets injured and escapes back, you better think about what good this will do for us."

As they talked, the two led the group into a new round of fighting and retreating.

"Um... it can boost our morale? But is it really worth it? No... that's not right!"

At first, Patton wondered what the point of driving Demulan would be, but the deeper he thought about it, the more he realized its significance.

"At that time, the entire Hafk Group will stop clashing with Asara as before, waiting for Demulan to recover. Lord Reis, aren't you...?"

"Hey, stop, stop. You don't need to say anything more. Just keep it to yourself. Let's get this thing sorted out first, okay? Damn it, I wonder when the smoke from over there will reach us."

Reiss impatiently turned around and looked back. To his surprise, the small wildfire he had set off earlier had begun to spread, and the smoke was spreading much faster.

However... looking at the vast expanse of flames, Reis began to calculate in his mind. If it continued to burn at this rate, he really couldn't put it out. No, no, what would happen if they won the battle but lost their home?

Just as Reis was about to call Said to ask for reinforcements, Youssef called him at that moment.

"Hey, this is Reis. I'm fighting that madman Demulan right now. Yousef, what do you want?"

"What?! Are you and Demulan fighting that fiercely? My scouts just reported to me that they saw a fire on the mountains in your Longbow Valley. Judging from the situation, if you let the fire continue to burn, your Longbow Valley will be destroyed."

Upon hearing Yusuf's words, Reis immediately shifted his focus from Said to Yusuf. Indeed, Yusuf had plenty of soldiers; why didn't he just ask him to borrow a few squads? So Reis promptly began to "complain" to Yusuf:

“Yeah, that damned Demulan has no sportsmanship! She just set fire to our place! It's absolutely insane! Now they're not even going to spare the ordinary people of Asara! Youssef, lend me some men to put out this fire, otherwise… I'm afraid…”

After hearing what Reis said, Youssef immediately said that he would send people to help Reis put out the fire, and that he would also dispatch several squads to help Reis defend against Demulan's offensive.

Reis: Damn it, is this the man Asara who commands the most troops? If only he had told me earlier that it would be so easy to borrow men from Yousef, I wouldn't have had to spend so much time talking to Said to borrow a few squads of my men every time.

Reese: Hehehe, now I've finally found a long-term meal ticket. I still have plenty of money, and soon there will be more people coming.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Demulan also noticed the wildfire that broke out near the Nahafk radar station. After seeing the wildfire gradually spreading, Demulan began to think about what Reis was trying to do.

"Hello, Ms. Demulan, can you hear me? The people at the Longbow Valley radar station just reported to me that they've detected a wildfire next to the radar station. The fire is spreading rapidly, and the smoke from the fire will significantly reduce our visibility. Ms. Demulan, should we evacuate?"
