70: The "Black Hand" settlement is about to take off

Fang Yun chuckled inwardly as he went down the stairs:

"Heh heh heh."

"Since the range of 'remnant echo' isn't enough, it's time for my big baby 'Star Shatterer' (technical sniper rifle) to make its appearance."

Quickly descending the stairs and arriving at the entrance, the squad members who had long noticed Fang Yun gathered around upon seeing the situation.

Valentine and the others looked at Fang Yun with admiring eyes, all giving him a thumbs-up.

Valentine was the first to step forward, saying with a smile:

"Fang Yun, amazing! It's great to have you as a helper in this battle."

Fang Yun also laughed heartily and patted Valentine on the shoulder.

"Hey~, no need for praise. Basic operation, basic operation."

At this moment, Vavinia also walked over, saying with a slight hint of teasing:

"Amazing, Fang Yun. Taking on over a dozen Nightwalkers by yourself, in a cave with insufficient intel, and still completely wiping out the enemy without a scratch."

"I feel like my role as a support is no longer necessary."

Seeing Vavinia walk over, Fang Yun turned his head to look at her.

After hearing Vavinia's words, Fang Yun couldn't help but feel amused inwardly:

"Heh heh, you're really not wrong about that."

"I'm known as an all-around square person who is a team by himself."

"Support? No need for support. I am a team by myself. (laughs)"

"Warrior, Mage, Tank, Cleric, Rogue, Archer... I'm omnipotent. (proud)"

Of course, the words he was secretly amused by could not be said out loud.

On the surface, Fang Yun smiled slightly, looking into Vavinia's eyes and said:

"My powerful strength is used to protect important people. For example, friends."

"However, there might be times when I stumble, and then I'll have to rely on you, rely on all of you."

Vavinia gazed into Fang Yun's eyes, and after hearing his words, she didn't answer immediately but quietly looked away.

Vavinia brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, using her hair to cover her slightly reddened earlobe, and responded:

"Mm, don't worry. As support, I, we still have the capability."

Seeing this, Fang Yun showed a happy smile, then turned his head to look at Glenn.

"Captain Glenn, all the Nightwalkers in the right cave have been eliminated by me, and the traps have also been destroyed."

"Now it's time for us to go support Karl."

Glenn first looked up at the bodies and severed limbs on the scaffolding and passage, then lowered his head and said to Fang Yun with a definite tone:

"Mm. You're right."

"Clan Leader Karl is still in a stalemate with the people of the 'Black Hand' settlement."

"Without further ado, let's go over and support them."

The others heard Glenn say this, exchanged glances, and expressed their agreement.

The group no longer delayed, put away the smiles on their faces, returned to their vehicles, and prepared to go support the signal tower defense line.

Accompanied by the roar of the car engines, the First Assault Squad hurried towards the signal tower not far away.

After this battle, everyone in the First Combat Squad had a deeper understanding of Fang Yun's strength.

A single person, single-handedly charging into the intricate valley caves, directly confronting over a dozen Nightwalkers and annihilating them all, while remaining completely unharmed himself.

This achievement, placed within the entire Buckle Family, had no one who dared to guarantee they could also do it.

On the way to support Karl, everyone in the First Combat Squad couldn't help but exclaim inwardly:

"It's really great to have Fang Yun as a helper."

The current First Assault Squad no longer worried about whether their side would win this battle against the "Black Hand" settlement.

They were now more concerned about whether any clan members would be injured or killed in this battle.

Carrying their worry for their clan members, the squad's speed of advance increased slightly.

"Even arriving a second earlier would be good. With our support and the powerful Fang Yun present, the casualties should be much fewer."

...

The perspective shifts to the Second Attack Squad and the Third Offensive Squad.

Because the caves on the left wall of Aureole Valley were spaces newly excavated recently, there were relatively few Nightwalkers defending there.

Although the Third Offensive Squad had the lowest overall strength among the three attack squads, in Karl's plan, they were entirely sufficient to resist the Nightwalkers on the left.

It was very necessary to send people to defend against the Nightwalkers on the left, to avoid being attacked from both sides, and to prevent them from driving over to disrupt the operation.

Fang Yun and his group, rushing towards the signal tower, stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, and then immediately began braking.

After successfully slowing down the vehicle speed, the First Assault Squad smoothly merged into the convoy besieging the signal tower from the right rear.

Glenn had already started reporting their recent actions to Karl on the way over.

After Karl finished listening, although he had already guessed Fang Yun's strength, he still couldn't help but feel a hint of shock.

"Originally, I just wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from the 'Black Hand' settlement."

"Now with the addition of Fang Yun, this 'spearhead', perhaps this battle truly has hope of annihilating the 'Black Hand' settlement."

Karl was thinking inwardly, and his actions were also not slow at all. He promptly merged the communication channels of the First and Second Attack Squads.

At this time, Fang Yun, taking advantage of the short time Glenn was reporting the situation, pulled out "remnant echo" and fired several shots "bang bang bang" at the defense line below the signal tower.

After killing a few Nightwalkers hiding behind defensive structures such as cars and concrete mobile walls, Fang Yun confirmed that the range of "remnant echo" was indeed not quite enough.

Although the bullets Fang Yun fired just now hit the signal tower's outer wall, they couldn't penetrate the protective plates installed on the outer wall.

And the heavy machine gun firing point was located behind the thick protective plates on the middle layer of the signal tower, with only a bulletproof glass observation window and a not-too-large firing port exposed.

"Using 'remnant echo' could indeed take out that heavy machine gun firing point, but with the better 'Star Shatterer' available, why use 'remnant echo'?"

"Too bad, if I had converted some armor-piercing rounds before setting off, I could have solved it with 'remnant echo' now."

Just as Fang Yun was secretly thinking it was a pity, Karl's voice came from the squad channel:

"Clan members, the First Combat Squad has just come to support us. This means that all the enemies on the right side have been eliminated by them!"

"Without a doubt, the scales of victory are tilting towards us."

"Clan members, fight hard. Victory will surely belong to us!"

Karl's encouragement sparked a strong reaction among the clan members.

The morale of the members of the First and Second Attack Squads suddenly soared, and they began to launch more aggressive attacks on the signal tower front line.
