"Hahaha, good! As expected, not a coward!"
"Little Hao, look, I told you talent is in the younger generation! Three eighth-tier experts and a bunch of seventh-tier ones, outstanding ability!"
"Still thinking of cutting off their retreat, that's resourceful and brave, just like me!"
"Little girl, are you married? My grandson just turned eighteen, are you considering dating someone younger?"
An Nuan: ...
The old man looked very serious, but... he only looked serious...
An Nuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I have a husband. Can we talk about business now?"
"I heard you brought a lot of cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, and pistachios, right? Let's chat while we eat!"
An Nuan visited the base, met the eighteen-year-old muscular youth, and after seeing her father's combat plan, she cursed inwardly: Old fox.
He clearly wanted to make a move long ago, yet he pretended to be testing the waters.
So cunning!
Her father said proudly, "My troops reached their flanks yesterday."
"One is for intelligence gathering, and the other is to disrupt their morale."
"Although they have a large number of people, they are all slaves who were captured and enslaved. They are not good at group combat, lack coordination, and most importantly, their hearts are not united. They were all forced to join."
"I'll let them lose seven or eight today, and ambush five or six tomorrow, to disrupt their morale."
"This is where the gunpowder is stored, which is their formation of large armored tanks."
"I've arranged for a few suicide attackers to blow it up tonight!"
Chen Wenjing: "Using our own people as human bombs is not cost-effective, is it?"
Chang Kaitong: "To you, they are all loyal martyrs, and it must hurt to lose them."
Her father certainly felt heartache.
These were all righteous youngsters who were loyal to the base.
But they stood up of their own free will.
After all, the power of armored tanks was immense. Ten armored vehicles attacking simultaneously with long-range artillery fire would put them at a disadvantage.
It would be fine if they knew the timing of their shelling, but they didn't.
More innocent people would die then.
Hao Yunfeng said, "Dad is also helpless. If possible, no one wants their own people to die."
An Nuan pondered, "Does your base have any unforgivable sinners?"
Her father raised his eyebrows, sensing a mischievous idea forming.
...
In the dead of night, the 300,000 allied forces set up camp in an open space.
Night was the time for zombies and异种 (yì zhǒng - mutated creatures) to be active, making the roads exceptionally dangerous.
Even with their large numbers, accidents could still happen.
So they stopped for the night.
Inside the large tents, there was food and drink, as well as women and entertainment.
However, the prisoners outside were confined like dogs.
The hundreds of guards looked exhausted, and one guard kicked another's face.
"Damn useless things! It's because I have to watch you that I can't sleep!"
"What are these things good for? Useless cowards, all show and no substance!"
"Not entirely useless, they still have some value as livestock."
"If I were them, I'd just bash my head against the wall and die!"
The man whose head was being stepped on dared not speak out in anger.
His family had been sent to the base yesterday. If he disobeyed, his family would die.
For his sister and aunt, he had to obey.
"Truly useless!"
The guard pulled down his pants and urinated on the man's head.
The other guards burst into laughter, "Haven't had water all day? Drink it up, it's fresh and hot, hahaha!"
The man buried his head in the dirt, silently enduring without a sound.
He looked like a dead fish.
"Hey? Did you hear something? It sounds strange."
Someone from the reconnaissance unit sensed a strange aura.
However, it was extremely faint, and they couldn't be entirely sure if their judgment was correct.
"It's probably just some prisoner causing trouble. Don't bother with these people, they'll all be cannon fodder in the end!"
Having low-tier prisoners as cannon fodder greatly increased their survival rate, and these people were secretly pleased.
They laughed heartily, and switched out two prisoners to continue their amusement and stay awake.
Little did they know that An Nuan had already quietly sent people to the armored tanks.
The tank squad was gathered around a campfire, drinking and eating meat, and didn't notice three mechanical birds that landed beside the tanks and spat out a small clump of hair from their mouths.
With the connection established, An Nuan directly opened a portal and sent the remaining people in.
Some of them were scouts from the allied forces of the three major bases.
After being captured by her father, they were imprisoned in the dungeon.
Two of them were butchers from this city, who acted like serial killers. Her father had captured them and was teaching them a lesson.
Several of them were ability users of tiers four to five.
Chen Wenjing easily altered their memories, turning them into "suicide attackers."
Her father watched the satellite feed and laughed heartily.
"I didn't expect these trash to have such a use. Fortunately, I didn't kill them back then!"
An Nuan: "Wenjing's ability is still amazing, making these people willing to die is also a contribution to human society."
Chen Wenjing smiled, her delicate features exuding a touch of sweetness.
Her father looked at her and sighed with regret.
If only she were a girl, he could introduce her to his grandson as a wife!
Chen Wenjing: "Nuan Zong, you can let them detonate now."
"Yes, you can begin."
Chen Wenjing's eyes narrowed.
At the same time, several "suicide attackers" placed small spherical objects at the bottom of the armored vehicles.
Someone noticed them and shouted, holding a gun, "Which unit are you from? Come out here!"
After placing the small spheres, they ripped open their clothes to reveal the bombs, terrifying the guards.
Damn it, human bombs!
"Enemy attack, there's an enemy attack!"
The guards shouted a warning.
Boom!
A deafening explosion.
Over twenty armored tanks exploded one after another.
From the satellite images, it looked like alluring peony flowers.
Gunpowder peonies.
Xiu Ao laughed, "The newly developed peony flowers have even more power than this, Nuan Zong, keep watching."
After the peony bombs detonated, the scattered sparks caused secondary explosions on the ground.
The sparks leaped to other areas and continued to explode.
A series of continuous explosions occurred until the sparks weakened, becoming almost invisible, then exploded twice more like firecrackers.
Not only the twenty armored tanks, but also the surrounding equipment and personnel were blasted into pieces.
Water and earth element users rushed to rescue but could not extinguish the raging fire.
They cursed, "Damn it, why can't these fires be extinguished!"
"Who the hell knows! Where are the ice element users? Tell them to freeze the fire! These fires are spreading!"
"I can't freeze these fires! Captain, Captain!"
The enemy ranks fell into disarray, the scene a horrific sight, like a living hell.
Even her father felt a chill seeing such a scene.
For An Nuan, it was just right.
When attacking others, one must be prepared to be attacked.
Every time she launched an attack, she was prepared to die.
It was not unreasonable for these people to be killed, was it?
