Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

4.39 - Changing Formation in the Face of Enemy

Oleg has no other support to wait for. If he continues to delay, the situation will only become more unfavorable for everyone in the mission union.

Oleg now has only one hope in his heart, that is, Banning can lead everyone to break through the encirclement of the monsters.

As long as we can concentrate our forces to deal with Spland, there is still hope of reversing the situation.

——(Mr. Banning, if it weren't for your plan, I definitely wouldn't be here tonight...)

——(I believe you will definitely surprise me again!)

Oleg sprinted with all his strength. His old body was no longer as brave as it used to be, but Spland, who was facing him, was not much better off.

In terms of speed, Oleg, the "professional mercenary", is still better!

When the distance was less than ten meters, Oleg was ready to use his skills, but he noticed that Spland's crutch hit the ground unnaturally, and he immediately understood that the old guy was going to use another trick, so he kicked up into the air!

"Angry—trampling—!"

Sure enough, dozens of poisonous snakes crawled out from the cracked ground fault!

Oleg has seen this trick of Spland countless times.

Venomous snakes may seem scary, but as long as you don't get bitten, there will be no problem.

Oleg relied on the chain mail on his body to continue charging forward, knocking away countless poisonous snakes along the way, and rushed towards Spland in an unstoppable manner!

Just when Oleg was about to catch Spland, the scene in the cabin happened again.

The giant snake summoned by Spland took him away from Oleg. This giant snake, whose body was thicker than a human, was obviously no longer an ordinary creature.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Oleg would not let Spland repeat his old tricks. He opened his arms and hugged the snake tightly, and was taken to the other end of the battlefield with the giant snake.

However, the devil is always one step ahead of the good. It seemed that Spland had predicted Oleg's actions. Before the giant snake let him out of its mouth, the giant snake twisted on the spot and swung its tail several times in succession. Oleg could not hold on and was thrown out by the giant snake.

"Oleg, do you think you're the only one who knows me? I know you just as well!"

Spland walked out of the giant snake's mouth with a hearty laugh. After completing the order, the giant snake disappeared into the magic circle, but Spland immediately summoned it out again.

"Go, Snake King! This time, hang this old man for me!!"

The giant snake pounced towards Oleg with its tongue spitting out. Spland hid behind the giant snake, looking forward to seeing his old friend being strangled by the giant snake.

In the one-on-one game just now, Spland actually used the same trick intentionally, because his goal was to make Oleg come to him on his own initiative.

In fact, Spland was not afraid of fighting with Oleg, he was just acting.

What Spland really didn't want to see was Oleg joining up with the support team.

As an old "friend" of Oleg, Spland was well aware of Oleg's command ability and prestige. With him leading the team, the combat effectiveness of the reward hunters would be increased by at least half.

——(Foolish, Oleg, I won this strategic duel!)

·

At the same time, in the Deadwood Forest, the battle between the reward hunters and the monster rats has entered a white-hot stage.

The monster rats once had the upper hand, but the situation was changing quietly, and the reason for this situation was all due to the young man named "Banning".

"Black-armored Swordsmen! Your group charges forward!"

"Red Robe Mage! Your group will provide support on the spot!"

The young man rode his warhorse and gave orders everywhere, occasionally shooting a few arrows to support others.

Under his active command, 37 reward hunters have withstood the attack of two to three hundred rat monsters, and no one has died so far!

However, when the battle first started, the reward hunters did not like Banning very much.

Everyone thought that this new guy was so young and didn't look strong, so he was not qualified to command them.

The reward hunters only listened to what ivory this Banning dog could spit out of his mouth for the sake of branch chief Oleg and Emilia.

But once the battle really began, Banning's command performance surprised the reward hunters.

Often when they were hesitating about what to do, Banning's instructions would come immediately, and they were the kind of instructions that everyone would immediately feel, "Oh, yes, this is exactly what we should do."

·

Before the operation began tonight, the strategy that Branch Chief Oleg arranged for everyone was the traditional "vanguard, center back, defender" style of play. However, after the battle began, the swift rat monsters easily rushed into the formation, making the original formation completely ineffective.

The vanguard bounty hunters are good at defense but have heavy steps and find it difficult to keep up with the movements of the rats. Often, a taunt skill can only control two or three enemies.

The consequence of the vanguard's inability to hold back the enemy is that the mages and archers can only run around in a hurry, unable to find a safe position to concentrate on output, let alone use area-of-effect killing magic.

If a magician dares to throw a flaming javelin into his own formation, he may kill more friendly soldiers than rats!

Just when the front was about to collapse, it was Banning who fought hard to command and stabilize the situation.

Banning acted decisively and abandoned the large formation arranged by the branch chief. Instead, he asked everyone to form small formations in groups of 3 or 4, and use the terrain to rebuild small lines of defense.

The mages and archers took to the high ground and climbed up the trees, finding a safe environment to launch their attacks again;

The soldiers blocked the key passage to prevent the rats from rushing through. One man can hold ten rats at bay.

From the outside, it looked as if the reward hunters were being engulfed by the rat swarm, but in reality, the rat monsters that had swarmed into the formation were being surrounded on all sides.

The balance of victory once again tilted towards the reward hunters, but Banning was frowning.

·

Jiang Ran was not blinded by the short-term success. He was very clear about the problems with his current style of play.

The reward hunters who had originally gathered together were now divided into eight or nine small teams, which meant that they could not break out as a group to meet up with Branch Chief Oleg.

Since the war started, Jiang Ran has not had the chance to see the true face of the enemy leader, but since the enemy can control so many rat monsters, he must not be a weakling.

If something happens to Oleg because he is late to reunite, Jiang Ran will need to take responsibility.

Therefore, Jiang Ran kept rushing left and right on the battlefield, adjusting the fighting styles of each team in real time, and finally found an opportunity to gather strength and break out together!

"Fighters! I have a crucial mission for you!"

Jiang Ran found the fastest fighters among the reward hunters and ordered them to split into three groups to lure away the rat monsters, and then find an opportunity to get rid of the enemy and rejoin the team.

Only when the enemies dispersed, the bounty hunters, who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, would have a chance to break through.

But just after the fighters began to carry out the operation of luring the enemy, a series of loud "bang!" and "bang!" noises came from not far away. It was obviously the sound of some huge object smashing the ground violently.

(Branch Head…!)

4.40 - The Responsibility of the Branch Manager (Part )

After dodging the giant snake's tail attacks several times, Oleg was out of breath.

The 73-year-old branch chief has to admit that he is old.

He has never caused any effective damage to the gray-scaled giant snake summoned by Spland.

The surface of the gray-scaled giant snake's body was covered with scales that were as hard as iron armor, and Oleg was unable to break through its defense with either his iron fist or his war hammer.

On the defensive end, the chain mail on Oleg's body could not protect against the powerful impact of the gray-scaled giant snake's tail. If he was hit just once, his internal organs would probably stop functioning.

In addition, the fangs in the bloody mouth of the gray-scaled giant snake are also a deadly threat. The two fangs as thick and sharp as ivory should be able to easily bite through Oleg's chain mail.

Once the venom is injected, his life will be over.

Attacking, he couldn't break through; defending, he couldn't stop. Oleg's final choice was to bypass the gray-scaled giant snake and attack Spland directly. This was also what he had always wanted to do since the war began.

However, under the defense of the huge body of the gray-scaled giant snake, Oleg had no chance to get close to Spland.

——(If we keep fighting like this, I’ll be the first one to run out of energy…)

Oleg quickly glanced in the direction of the reward hunters. If they could meet up, the magic attack should be able to cause damage to the gray-scaled giant snake with extremely high physical defense.

However, Oleg was still four or five hundred meters away from them, and the reward hunters were probably too busy to take care of themselves under the siege of the rat monsters...

——(There’s no other choice, I’ll just have to give it a try…!)

Rather than insisting on a losing strategy and dying in battle, it is better to try a fantastic idea!

I'm still as wild as a young man! After Oleg circled the gray-scaled giant snake for a certain angle, he attacked the snake's head again!

"Furious trample!"

Oleg used the reaction force of his skill to jump high into the air. However, the gray-scaled giant snake had already seen Oleg's combo, and immediately swung its tail and accurately hit Oleg, who was unable to dodge in the air!

"King Kong's body!!"

At the critical moment, Oleg activated his second skill, which greatly increased the hardness of his body. He withstood the blow almost unscathed, but his body was knocked flying!

——(It’s done!)

Yes, that's exactly Oleg's plan!

He wanted to use the power of the gray-scaled giant snake to allow himself to reunite with the reward hunters in one go!

Just at this moment, the reward hunters who were fighting with the rat monsters launched a rally charge, and the leader was Banning, whom Oleg had high hopes for!

——(You came just in time! Mr. Banning!)

Oleg saw this scene in the air and was ecstatic. However, the direction he was knocked off was slightly and he landed too fast, causing him to roll a long way before stopping after landing heavily.

“Branch Head Oleg——!!”

The reward hunters gathered around him, all of them very worried about his safety.

Oleg stood up with everyone's help. He looked painful and it took him a few seconds to feel better.

Oleg's pain came from the impact when he landed. The duration of "King Kong Body" was limited, and the protective effect could not cover the moment he landed.

"Mr. Banning...I'm so grateful to you for being here tonight!"

Oleg found Banning immediately, but after seeing Oleg, Banning's expression suddenly became serious.

Oleg was surprised at Banning's insight, and quickly signaled Banning with his eyes not to say anything extra, and then reminded everyone that the enemy's two-pronged attack was about to come, so everyone should be prepared!

"I'll deal with the giant snake!"

"Mr. Banning, please command everyone to hold on to the rats!"

Oleg's shout greatly boosted everyone's morale. Everyone returned to their formation, but Banning was the only one who was still looking at Oleg seriously.

"Branch Chief, you didn't come here just to shout these two sentences, right?"

Banning's words hit the nail on the head and pierced Oleg's heart.

"I really can't hide anything from you... Don't worry, I know what to do."

Oleg patted Banning's shoulder, silent words lodged in it.

Seeing this, Banning said nothing more. He just said, "Take care, Branch Chief," and turned back to command the front line.

"First-level earth magic: Rock Wall!"

"First-level wood magic: vine zone!"

"First-level water magic: Ice Thorns!"

"..."

The sounds of magicians casting spells came one after another from behind. Oleg knew that he didn't have to worry about being attacked by rat monsters behind him. All he had to do was to deal with the giant gray-scaled snake that was swimming quickly in front of him.

To do this, Oleg had to break his previous bottom line, and this awareness was already made when he chose to be knocked away by the gray-scaled giant snake.

"Emilia!"

Oleg walked quickly to Emilia, and without saying anything, Emilia offered him the sword case.

This was the "last resort" that Oleg had arranged before taking action.

“Branch Chief…!”

Oleg saw the same look in Emilia's eyes as in Banning's. They respected Oleg's decision, but were also worried about him from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's okay, silly child. I'm still looking forward to the day you get married."

Oleg smiled heartily, touched Emilia's head, then took the sword case and strode towards the gray-scaled giant snake!
