162: Unless they can fall from the sky!
“This is the downside of putting the ten thousand gold tear crown into quantum storage.
Liu Yan had experienced it long ago.
If the user teleports over, they will appear directly above his head.
It's not entirely unacceptable.
After all, it's a blessing it didn't appear in his crotch.
If Liu Yan were to display all the ten thousand gold tear crowns, the Soldiers would naturally appear on top of the ten thousand gold tear crowns.
But right now, having a large number of Soldiers appear together simultaneously is not the most cost-effective approach.
With special items, it's already possible to provide remote fire support for the Soldiers.
Gathering too early makes them too large a target; one military shell would kill at least a whole group.
Unless a sufficiently large-scale battlefield is encountered later, at which point he will use the power propulsion device to fly into the sky.
Then he will throw out all tens of thousands of ten thousand gold tear crowns!
Heavenly Descent of Elite Troops!
But for now... he can't find a place to settle them, and having tens of thousands of people follow him every day... is a bit troublesome.
“See over there? There's a mother and child. Ten... no, twelve Soldiers go protect them.”
Liu Yan originally wanted to round it up, but considering the Soldiers were always in groups of three.
Splitting them up didn't seem appropriate.
“Those with a weapon, do not take it out unless absolutely necessary.”
“Also, unless forced, do not actively attack anyone or any Soldiers.”
Twelve Soldiers simultaneously stepped forward.
It must be said, this aspect of the Soldiers was what Liu Yan found most reassuring.
He only needed to state the number of people required; he didn't need to worry about the rest of the personnel arrangements.
“Don't worry, Boss, you've said it countless times.”
“Our Brothers' ears are calloused from hearing it.”
“Originally, in our minds, you gave us such excellent equipment and taught us how to use these special items, all for us to fight for you.”
“But it turns out, Boss is constantly afraid of us dying.”
The Soldiers were now very familiar with Liu Yan; they also realized that Liu Yan was not like a high-and-mighty officer or leader.
Instead, he was like a Brother who ate and lived with them.
“I want you to fight for me, but I don't want you to die.”
“The twelve who just went to protect the mother and child, the rest of you come with me. It might get a bit more tiring now.”
Liu Yan stood on the rooftop, looking at the smoke and flames rising throughout the city, and couldn't help but frown.
The top priority right now was to clear all active areas within Bin City.
After that, it would be to clear out the entire Xia Kingdom.
If left unchecked, at this rate, it wouldn't be long before the entire country's population might not even reach four digits.
After all, as Liu Yan discovered when he just rescued the mother and child, no matter which side's Soldiers they were.
Their priority target was not the opposing side, but the humans of this world.
In other words, if there are people, attack the people first.
If there are no people, only then do the two factions start fighting each other.
Trying to stall for time, waiting for one side to run out of troops, is almost impossible.
For Liu Yan to do it alone is absolutely impossible.
No single person could achieve it.
An individual's strength, on a world-scale battlefield, is as insignificant as dust.
Liu Yan really wanted to ask the Soldiers what other worlds were like when they previously descended.
But all the Soldiers had no knowledge of any of this.
Their hearts held only the passion to protect their homeland and the determination to eliminate Hafke.
Besides that, there was their loyalty to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan now understood why there were so many Soldiers and blue eagle helicopters in the scene he had seen earlier.
At that time, it must have been the late stage of the descent.
Soldiers from all over the world, after clearing out nearby humans, would fight against the opposing faction, then move on to the next location.
Ultimately, all Soldiers would converge on a single battlefield, which was the final battlefield.
But there was one thing Liu Yan couldn't understand.
Given the troublesome nature of the descent, scattering across the world was clearly more difficult to handle.
After all, it required a lot of time, energy, and manpower.
Even if there were many people on the final battlefield, couldn't they just blast it with military shells and be done with it?
Not to mention, directly taking out artificial nuclear weapons and cloud storage arrays.
Why did the predecessors lose?
Liu Yan decided not to dwell on things he couldn't understand for now; solving the immediate urgency was more important.
“Go.”
Whoosh— — — —!!!
Whoosh— — — —!!!
...Screech— — — —
Screech— — — —
At Liu Yan's command, several Soldiers, along with him, used their power propulsion devices to fly into the distance.
There were also more than a dozen Spider-Man-like Soldiers, using their Emergency Evasion Devices, continuously following behind by swinging through the buildings.
“No wonder Boss made us practice these; I couldn't even use them back in Bakshi. I kept wondering what good they were.”
“Brother, you're from Bakshi? Is the food good there? My hometown, Longbow Stream Valley, is dirt poor.”
“Longbow Stream Valley? I heard Reis was there, did he come out too? Did he join Boss?”
“He was going to come out.”
“But at the time, we were in a hurry to find Boss, and when we flew out, he discovered us.”
“After we were exposed, Reis and those Soldiers started attacking us.”
“We had no choice but to have the Brothers driving the weapons behind us blast them.”
“This shouldn't count as disobeying Boss's orders, since they made the first move.”
Although the Soldiers' conversation was very quiet, Liu Yan heard it clearly.
These Soldiers were not from the same world at all; it was just that the regions they knew were the same.
So they could be considered fellow townsfolk.
In the sky, Liu Yan observed for a while and noticed a strange phenomenon.
That is, Asara's Soldiers were slightly more numerous than Hafke's.
This didn't seem right.
And on the ground, Liu Yan also saw several bodies of Reis, but he hadn't seen Sayyid and Demulan's... Bang bang bang bang bang— — — —!!!
“These Soldiers have no consciousness at all! They rely purely on sheer numbers; they don't retreat even when faced with machine guns, there's no end to them!”
“Brothers! There's no other way! Concentrate all fire on one spot, clear a bloody path for Team Dragon!”
Bang bang bang bang bang— — — —!!!
“Damn it, in this situation, what good is a pocket watch?! Fuck!”
“If these Soldiers charge up, they'll eat us alive, one bite each!”
“Can we still wait for reinforcements?!”
“Dream on! There's no way there'll be reinforcements! Other places are in pretty much the same predicament as us right now!”
“Even if there were reinforcements, they wouldn't be able to save us! This place is already completely blocked off!”
“Unless they can come down from the sky!”
