Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Patton's face showed sorrow when he saw the blackened bodies of his soldiers. These were his compatriots, and now they were all lying dead in front of him.

"Alright, damn Patton, get your act together. Looks like that damn Demulan even went to get those bastards from GTI to help him, huh? Come on! Anyway, the smoke is almost gone now. I want to see what they'll use to fight me in Longbow Valley."

After saying that, Reese ordered Barton to organize his soldiers to retreat into Longbow Valley. Once they reached the interior of Longbow Valley, with the smoke that filled the entire valley, he wanted to see if Demulan dared to break into the trap he had set.

But just as they were preparing to retreat, bad news suddenly came from the front lines.

"Report...Report! After Lord Reis's forces were attacked, our formation was completely disrupted, and Demulan's men took advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on this vulnerable area!"

"What?! Those idiots are fucking inhuman! Go tell them to retreat, or they'll all die on my doorstep, you know?"

Reis hadn't expected these people to move so quickly. He had just been attacked when they immediately seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on him.

Now, Reis would never believe that there was no connection between the two sides. At the same time, Reis couldn't help but wonder to himself when these two bastards got together and how they were able to unite their forces.

Chapter 407 continues?

If Barton could hear what Reese was thinking right now, he probably wouldn't be able to resist making a few sarcastic remarks about Reese.

Ever since he started following Reese, he's been living in constant fear, watching his boss make so many enemies. Barton is getting a real headache.

Fortunately, their leader still maintains a decent relationship with Said and Yousef, and hasn't reached the point of making enemies of the entire world.

"Barton, you go run errands for me and see where those squads Youssef sent are now. Put the wildfire fighting aside for now; dealing with things in Demurran is more important right now."

Reese looked at Barton, who was organizing the retreat beside him, and kicked him directly, telling him to go and meet up with the small teams that Youssef was sending to help him hold the line.

"Okay, Boss Reis, I'll be right there."

Barton, having been kicked, had no choice but to rub his backside to indicate that he was coming over right away.

As Reiss began his massive retreat inland, Demoulan found himself in a dilemma.

"Commander Demulan, Reis and his men have all run back. Should we continue the pursuit?"

Listening to his soldiers report on the current situation on the battlefield, Demulan was undecided for a moment. Looking at the smoke that was gradually thickening in front of him, Demulan knew that if he went in anyway, he would probably pay a heavy price.

"Hey, you guys aren't doing well either. We blew a hole in your tunnel, and you still let them escape."

Just as Demulan was frowning and thinking, Roy's smug voice came from afar. Demulan turned his head and saw two people still firing missiles at Reis and Roy walking towards him.

"You're annoying. Just say what you have to say and don't bother me here."

Demulan didn't give Roy a friendly look either. Did this doctor who looked like he was from GTI not know how to talk? Who would have thought that the people from Reis's side would just run away like that? Besides, she didn't expect the smoke to spread so quickly. In just a short while, the people from Reis's side had almost disappeared.

"Come on, Xiao Hao just told us that if we want to enter Chang Gong Valley, we'll basically lose all sight of the outside world. He can't see what's going on inside the smoke anymore. Also, Shen Lan asked me to pass on a message to you."

Roy paused, then coughed twice and said:

"We at GTI have always believed in peaceful coexistence, and we have paid a heavy price for it. In my opinion, this incident should come to an end. After all, the serious wildfire that broke out on Reis' side is a kind of retribution he deserves. Stopping here is the best thing to do at the moment."

After hearing Roy's words, Demulan snorted coldly, gave Roy a cold look, and said:

“Go talk to your supervisor. I’ve given Reis countless chances to return our Hafk Mandel bricks, but what have I done? This bastard has repeatedly provoked our Hafk Group. Even if I can’t fight him to the end this time, I’ll make him suffer.”

After listening to what Demulan said, Roy sighed and then turned back to report to Deep Blue. "Reis, Reis, you're really something else. You've made Hafk's people fight you to the death. The last one I heard from Xiao Hao was that Hafk guy."

Roy: What a pity. Demulan isn't someone like Hamk who can be easily fooled. While you, Reese, were able to chase Hamk around before, with Demulan... I think the situation will be completely reversed.

After Roy returned, he relayed what Demulan had said to Shenlan and the others. After listening to Roy's retelling, Shenlan asked Weilong to go and call back the two people who were yelling.

"Alright, since Demulan has said so, we should naturally respect her wishes. Besides, in my opinion, the situation will at most result in some minor friction between the two sides, nothing serious."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Since even Deep Blue had said so, there must be some truth to it. All they needed to do now was watch out for a repeat of the previous battle.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hao and Luna, who were in the distance, had completely lost sight of the Longbow Valley. The smoke spread far too quickly, taking only about half an hour from the moment it started to completely envelop the valley.

"Sister Luna, what if this wildfire gets out of control? Although there aren't that many trees here, the area it covers is quite large. And right now we've lost sight of the area. It seems like we're no longer of any use."

After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Luna nodded helplessly. Yes, they could only say that they were powerless to help now. Moreover, based on what Roy had just said in the earphone, Luna understood that it was probably impossible to go back anytime soon.

"Hey Xiao Hao, it really is you guys."

Just as the two were chatting, a voice suddenly appeared behind them, which immediately startled Luna and Zhang Hao, who turned around to look.

The two turned around and saw that Saeed was also carrying a PKM and standing behind them, looking at them.

"Uncle Said...? How did you find our way here? And could you please not be so scary next time?"

After hearing this, Said chuckled awkwardly twice, scratched his head, and said:

"Hehe, I was just planning to come here to see what was going on. If we don't stop this smoke soon, it'll drift all the way to my No. 0 Dam. I like to take this route when I come here, and here I am, the two of you."

Chapter 408 Said, the Bystander

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao silently cast a resentful glance at Said. It was truly disgusting that Uncle Said walked so quietly. No wonder Wuming, who used to like sneaking around, had suffered so much at Said's hands.

“But given the current situation, Uncle Said, are you still going to Reiss’s place? You know, Demulan isn’t planning to give up yet. You should stay here with us and wait. Uncle Deep Blue just said that the two sides probably won’t be able to fight each other.”

Zhang Hao then said to Said, "Since we're already here, why don't we sit down and wait and see what happens next?"

After listening, Said nodded and then sat down next to Zhang Hao. Looking at the Longbow Valley shrouded in smoke in the distance, he couldn't help but click his tongue a few times.

"Oh dear, you reap what you sow. This Reis is really hard to understand. You can say he's stupid, but he's also incredibly shrewd. But every time I try to admit that he actually has some brains, he pulls out this huge mess... Sigh, I'm really speechless."

As Said watched the occasional bursts of fire in the smoke, he couldn't help but sigh. What was so great about this Mandel brick? Thinking about the conditions that Demulan had proposed earlier, Said couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He had missed such a good opportunity and just handed it over to Reis.

Said: Sigh, it seems this is fate. But why does Reese keep clinging to this Mandel brick? It's caused such a big commotion. Said just can't understand it at all.

"Speaking of which, Reis is really something. I didn't expect him to be able to fight Demulan for so long. When Luna and I first arrived here, we saw their tank battle. The scene was... tsk tsk tsk."

When Zhang Hao thought back to the scene he had seen here, he couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Uncle Said's side had already surpassed the development of the dam, but why... did it feel like the gap between their combat strength and that of Reis' side was widening?

Zhang Hao: I now seriously suspect that Reis is also a system. Otherwise, why does he always evolve into a super-evolution every time he is not killed? Could it be that Reis is the real chosen one of the plane?

"Well, to be honest, I also don't think a fight is likely. You know, in such an extremely harsh environment, even if Demulan is very good at leading troops, she would definitely suffer a great loss if she fought in Longbow Valley."

Seeing that Said could analyze the current situation in a seemingly professional manner, Zhang Hao couldn't help but nod. It seemed that a fight really wasn't going to break out. After all, although Uncle Said was a bit slow-witted, his sense of the situation on the battlefield was quite sharp.

"Hey Uncle Said, after they've finished fighting, what are you planning to do at Longbow Valley? Check if that guy Reis is still alive?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao looked over curiously. What could Uncle Said possibly do alone at Reis's place? If you said he was going to put out the fire, Said alone wouldn't be of any use. If you said he was going to help, he was currently just sitting with them chatting.

"Me? I just came here to watch the drama unfold, so I can go back and tell Sofia and Abel about what's going on here."

To their surprise, Said wasn't there to help Reis at all; he was there to watch the fun up close.

"Of course, don't look at me like that anymore. Xiao Hao, I still remember the time he beat you up. Don't worry, if I get the chance in the future, I'll beat that bastard Reis until he vomits blood."

Just as Zhang Hao was about to say something, Shen Lan's voice came through the earpiece:

"Xiao Hao, Luna, are you all alright? Demulan is preparing to retreat now, so it's about time we can retreat too."

After listening, Zhang Hao immediately replied to Shen Lan, and also told Shen Lan about his recent encounter with Said here.

"That guy Said is really bored. He even came all the way here just to join in the fun. Xiao Hao, you could go and talk to Sophia, who's with Said, and ask her to give Said more homework."

Roy, who always enjoys watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but offer some bad advice. Why is Said so fond of gossip these days? We have to stop her, because even I can't just gossip around Asara as I please anymore.

"Uncle Deep Blue, why is Demulan suddenly thinking of withdrawing his troops? Didn't they say before that they were going to teach Reiss a lesson?"

Zhang Hao was surprised that Demulan was retreating so quickly; he thought the battle would last for several more hours.

"I don't know what happened in there, but Demulan's team started retreating shortly after they went in. They must have suffered some losses inside."

Zhang Hao expressed his understanding upon hearing this, and then arranged a meeting place with Shen Lan and the others.

"Hey Hao, any updates from over there? Did Reis get a good beating from that old hag Demulan?"

Zhang Hao had just hung up the phone a second ago, and the next second Said rushed to Zhang Hao's side, asking with a curious look, as if he was looking forward to the good news that Reis had been defeated by Demulan.

Zhang Hao: Although I am really touched that you are thinking of me like this, why do I feel like something is a little strange?

After hearing Zhang Hao tell Said about Demulan's retreat, Said also showed a regretful expression.

"That's it? Looks like Demulan isn't all that great. Reis only managed to get a couple of blows out of them using the terrain advantage, so why did he retreat so quickly? Sigh, Demulan is still playing too conservatively."

Zhang Hao and Luna stared blankly at Said, who had started babbling incessantly in front of them again. How much did he hate Reis?

Said: I hate it! Of course I hate it! My big plane, my tank, sigh, how could I have traded that Mandel brick for Reis so quickly?

Chapter 409 Retreat

The time had come for Demulan to lead his team into the smoke. At this moment, Mary reminded Demulan through his earpiece:

“Ms. Demurean, I checked the situation on your side using the Skynet satellite. My advice is to take it easy and call it a day. After all, if we really go too deep, even retreating will be several times more difficult than before in unfamiliar terrain.”

Demulan frowned upon hearing this. She was aware of the situation, but she was very unwilling to accept it. So many resources had been used and so many Hafk soldiers had been lost, yet this time that bastard Reis had managed to escape.

You see, Demulan originally planned to take back the Mandel brick from their Hafk Group, but he didn't expect that bastard Reis would do something so ruthless, burning down his own hometown.

Moreover, the smoke was indeed quite choking, and many Hafk soldiers couldn't help but cough after entering it.

Of course, things weren't much better for Reis's side, but they were better prepared.

Many of Reis's Asara soldiers put on the masks they had prepared beforehand. After hearing the coughs of the Hafk soldiers, Reis's soldiers began firing at the source of the sound.

This caused many of Demulan's soldiers to fall, and Demulan immediately launched a counterattack.

Gunfire and artillery fire once again echoed through the smoke of Longbow Valley.

"Ms. Demuren! What's the situation on your end? Is everything alright?"

Hearing the shouts coming from the space base, Mary immediately inquired about Demulan's situation. Mary's heart was in her throat. What had happened to Ms. Demulan? Why were so many Hafk soldiers screaming?

“Mary, use the latest machine developed by our Hafk Group to check how likely we are to succeed this time.”

At this point, Demulan also began to consider whether to start the retreat, and she also began to ask the predictive intelligent machine that she would never have given a second glance before.

Previously, Demulan had always been dismissive of machines that claimed to predict the outcome of battles.

In Demoulin's view, victory was something he had always firmly grasped in his hands.

However, the changes on the battlefield are so drastic that even the usually composed Demulan has begun to doubt his decisions, to the point that he has asked Mary to use the machine to calculate the probability of success for this operation.

Upon hearing this, Mary sighed softly, opened a piece of software recently developed by the group on her computer, posted the current situation on the battlefield, and then waited for the final result from the artificial intelligence.

“Ms. Demurean…you should come back. If we insist on forcing our way in…”

After listening to Mary's words, Demulan closed his eyes with a hint of helplessness. When he opened them again, he said to the vice commander beside him:

“Let’s retreat. There’s no point in continuing the fight. This Reis is good. Let’s make this grudge. I’d like to see how many more times you can burn Longbow Valley.”
